The matriarch finally recovered and took the initiative to approach Feng Yu Heng repair their relations: "A-Heng, stay at Willow courtyard until the moon gate has been opened up. When it's ready, go take a look and see if anything is lacking. Just let grandmother know, and grandmother will provide it."

Feng Yu Heng smiled: "Thank you grandmother. His Highness Prince Yu sent many pieces of furniture. It's unlikely it is missing much. What I will need is help with moving and placing them."

"That can be easily arranged." The matriarch was happy, right! This was a normal conversation. If there were requests, that would be great. She just feared that Feng Yu Heng would say that there was nothing that she needed. It made her truly anxious. "Granny Zhao has already made arrangements with the servants. Take however many you will need." Thinking further, she added: "These servants that were gifted to you will be your responsibility. There is no need to hand over their slave contracts to the manor. You can keep them. As for a monthly allowance, the manor will also provide some."

Hearing this, Chen shi lost it and exclaimed loudly: "How can that be! All of the servants of Feng manor have their slave contracts kept within the manor. If others started doing this too, wouldn't the manor become a mess?"

Feng Jin Yuan and the matriarch coldly glared at Chen shi. Chen Yu, seeing this, quickly picked up the role of mediator: "Mother, please do not worry. Chen Yu promises not to add personal servants."

An shi and Han shi brought Xiang Rong and Fen Dai over and said: "Concubines will not as well."

Feng Jin Yuan coldly snorted and asked Chen shi: "Do you have anything else to say?"

Chen shi was pinched hard by Chen Yu and could only lower her head in silence.

Feng Jin Yuan saw that she finally fell silent and let out a long sigh: "Since there aren't any objections, we will proceed like in that way! It has been a busy morning, everyone must be tired. Let us disperse for now."

Everyone properly gave their salutes and retired. Feng Yu Heng took a look at the matriarch as she left and thought a while before saying: "Grandmother's waist illness, perhaps try the method A-Heng mentioned earlier."

The matriarch immediately grinned: "Good granddaughter, don't worry. Grandmother remembers everything you said."

Feng Yu Heng then saluted again and returned to Willow courtyard with the two servants.

The matriarch watched her back as she left and felt quite happy with herself. Just now, that girl had been quite concerned for her right? If it was like that, then she was willing to accept her goodwill?

Unfortunately, Feng Yu Heng was not thinking in that way. In her opinion, the people of this manor were all lacking and in need of an overhaul, but she was still just a person. She still had to take Yao shi and Zi Rui in to account. Taking on too many things at one would simply not be a sensible thing to do. Perhaps it would be better to find those that go with the flow first. Or perhaps she should suppress the most stubborn people first before slowly returning to gather the others.

While returning to Willow courtyard, Feng Yu Heng asked for the names of the two servant girls. They were very special. One was called Huang Quan and the other called Wang Chuan. Huang Quan was a bit more lively, while Wang Chuan's personality was bit more cold.

Huang Quan was very proactive in reporting the reason they had been given to Feng Yu Heng: "His Highness said that the prime minister's manor is not much better than a bandit. Although Master Feng had passed the imperial exam that year, his family was not as well-educated as him. Furthermore, Master Feng had studied in an odd direction, and was incapable of being a proper father. His Highness truly does not understand how he became the prime minister of this country. Thus his Highness sent Wang Chuan and myself to protect the princess. We cannot allow any accidents to happen to the princess and we must ensure that the princess is not bullied within the manor."
