The price instantly dropped by 100 taels, and Feng Jin Yuan's eyes became slightly red. The second daughter actually had a lot of face to make the Shengcai Shop take the initiative of lowering the price, and the price was reduced by a full 100 taels!
As he listened to this in surprise, he heard Feng Yu Heng say. “No need.”
Feng Jin Yuan panicked. "A Heng, 100 taels is money!"
Feng Yu Heng rolled her eyes at him and looked at him with a face full of disdain, “Is this a problem to negotiate? Have you heard of any family negotiating a price with a coffin maker?"
People started to discuss, "Right! Who wants to negotiate when buying a coffin!"
The middle-aged man quickly comforted. "Not that, not that, it's not considered a negotiation. This is a lowly person willing to lower the price."
Yet Feng Yu Heng continued to say. "No need."
Feng Jin Yuan snorted, "Alright, after all, you're the one who paid. You can pay as much as you want." After saying this, he raised his foot to enter the palace. He has achieved his goal. He had raised Feng Yu Heng high up in front of all these people. Even if he didn't want to spend that much money, he still had to take it out. Otherwise, his reputation would be bad.
Seeing Feng Jin Yuan about to enter the palace freely, Feng Yu Heng blinked and suddenly realized something. This father never planned to pay those 200 taels! He intended for her to pay the full 600 taels.
On what basis? His mother died, but he, his son, did not pay a single piece of money. However, he had his granddaughter spend the paper money to buy jewelry and clothes worth over 1000 taels. Which family follows such a rule?
He opened his mouth and shouted. "Are you going back to taking the banknotes?"
"Hm?" Feng Jin yuan stopped and looked at him, asking in a confused tone. "What paper money? That coffin was bought by you for your grandmother. What do you want me to get the banknotes for?"
Feng Yu Heng thought to himself that this shameless old man really wanted to refuse this debt. Anger surged in his heart, and he coldly asked Cheng Jun Man. "This imperial princess issued a 300-tael note for grandmother's funeral. To this day, how much is being spent?"
Cheng Jun Man naturally understood Feng Yu Heng's intent. When mentioning this, he was also overwhelmed with anger and immediately said. “A Heng, you gave us a total of 280 taels of banknotes. My husband left me only 80 taels. The remaining 200 taels were all taken. Right now, there was less than 20 taels left of the 80 taels given to me. I'd like to talk to you about this matter after returning to the manor."
Feng Yu Heng did not think of such a thing. He only heard that Feng Jin Yuan only left 80 taels to conduct the funeral. The anger in his chest grew even more burning.
Feng Jin Yuan had not expected Feng Yu Heng to count the banknotes he had given him for this. He didn't even expect that Cheng Jun Man would properly uncover this matter in front of all these people. He felt a little embarrassed and did not dare to look at Feng Yu Heng.
The middle-aged coffin maker stood awkwardly in place. He was a little worried about how he should ask for this money. Shengcai Shop had long since opened, and this was the first time he had encountered this problem.
Fortunately, Feng Yu Heng did not want to interfere with his business, so he turned his gaze away from Feng Jin Yuan and took out a 600 taels worth of banknotes from his sleeve. "It's money for the coffin. Take care." He handed over the paper money and finally sent the middle-aged man away. Just before the guy left, though,
he gave an extremely insulting look at Feng Jin Yuan, causing Feng Jin Yuan to feel even more shame.
He wanted to return to the manor, but it was very clear that Feng Yu Heng did not want to let go. Some people do not accept his kindness when offered, so he does not need to continue being kind. Didn't he choose to force her to pay for the coffin in front of all these people? Alright, it could be considered that he was fulfilling his duty of devotion. It's okay what. But to enter the manor now, it wasn't easy.
They then heard Feng Yu Heng coldly ask a question. "Dad, what did you do with the 200 taels you were given for Grandma's funeral?"
Cold sweat poured out all over Feng Jin Yuan's body. He stood in his place, going and staying was a bad choice. When Feng Yu Heng spoke, he emphasized. “carry out grandmother's funeral.” This immediately made things worse. What's he supposed to say?
For a moment, the atmosphere was very awkward.
It was at this moment that Feng Zi Rui, who was silently standing beside Feng Yu Heng, suddenly spoke up. "Dad probably went to buy Su Zhou embroidery. That day, my sister was in court. I saw father bring Su Zhou embroidery. Zi Rui recognized her as Su Zhou's embroidery. It's very expensive."
Feng Jin Yuan was startled and looked at Zi Rui with a hint of embarrassment. He never thought that his little act was actually seen by his son. He felt a little nervous and wildly looked for an excuse. "That's for your grandmother. It was placed inside the coffin." He felt sadness again. "Your grandmother loved Su Zhou's embroidery when she was alive. No matter how expensive it is, I have to buy it."
As he said this, people felt slightly moved. Some of the women who witnessed even wiped away the tears.
Yet An shi, who was standing to the side, said in a daze. "One of the tailors in my tailor shop said that my husband went and took Su Zhou's embroidery without paying, on the two days ago."
