As the three family letters flew out of the three major families and the news came out of the main house of the Feng family, the old head of the Feng family returned to the main house that night and gave the old lady a good scolding, telling her everything she had done in the past few months, leaving the old lady speechless.

This scene frightened the Second Madam who had just been summoned to the main house. She knelt on the ground without saying a word. Although Second Madam Feng had little other skills, her ability to adapt to the situation and please others was unmatched by the First Madam and the Third Madam combined. Others did not know her father-in-law's temper, but she knew it very well. She seemed to have no temper when she smiled at Mituo, but she did not make him angry. But if she really touched his reverse scale, it would be... After all, he was a man of his generation who followed the king to build the Haoyue Kingdom.

But the young Zhou Jing was not so sensitive. When she entered the room, she first saw the usually spoiled Second Madam Feng kneeling obediently on the ground. Then she looked up and saw the seldom-seen Old Master Feng sitting in the first seat on the left, and then the Old Madam Feng sitting on the Arhat bed wiping her tears.

Quickly moving her hands and feet, she pounced on Old Madam Feng who was sitting on the bed, and cried out, "Grandma, what's wrong with you? Who made you angry? Jing'er will go and help you vent your anger..."

Before she finished speaking, a tea bowl was thrown at her feet. The tea in the bowl, along with the tea leaves, wet her embroidered shoes and also stopped her from rushing to the bed. "Ah, ah, ah..." A shrill female voice resounded throughout the main house, so noisy that the servants and old women guarding outside the house couldn't help but pick their ears.

"Shut up!" Patriarch Feng shouted angrily, "Do you want to attract everyone in the capital to the Feng Mansion?"

"Grandfather? Why do you treat Jing'er like this? What did Jing'er do wrong?" Zhou Jing asked the old master Feng with a look of grievance.

Not only was old Patriarch Feng shocked, but even Old Madam Feng, who was wiping her tears and pretending to be pitiful, and Second Madam Feng, who was playing the ostrich, were speechless. Was this the always smart Zhou Jing that they knew?

"Shut up, do you think you can call me grandpa?" Patriarch Feng scolded again, and then pointed his finger at Madam Feng: "You still treat such an idiot as a treasure? Am I old and confused or have you been drugged? Ah? You have made the whole family restless just because of these two stupid things? You really don't know what you are talking about!"

This has completely screwed Old Madam Feng and Second Madam Feng. What does Zhou Jing’s stupidity have to do with them?

"Master..." Madam Feng's voice was interrupted again, "Madam Feng is my grandmother, if you are not my grandfather, what are you?"

Seeing that things were not going well, Madam Feng II hurriedly got up, took a step forward, grabbed Zhou Jing's body with her left hand, covered her mouth with her right hand, and quickly whispered in her ear before she struggled, "Shut up if you don't want to die." Zhou Jing slowly turned her head to look at Madam Feng II who was holding her tightly, and saw that she nodded at her with sweat on her forehead. Then she looked at Madam Feng who looked disappointed and the old master Feng who looked disdainful, and then she realized that she was scared and her body slipped to the ground uncontrollably.

At this time, Butler Feng beside Old Master Feng and Nanny Feng beside Old Madam Feng walked towards the main house together, followed by seven or eight servants carrying trays.

"Old Master," Butler Feng glanced at Zhou Jing, who was sprawled on the ground, and then at Old Madam Feng, who looked puzzled, and continued, "This was found in Miss Zhou's room. There are 60,000 taels of silver notes and gold and silver jewelry that are preliminarily estimated to be worth 100,000 taels. If you add the clothes and handkerchiefs..."

"Old woman?"

"This is mine, what are you going to do with it?"

"aunt?"

Three voices rang out at the same time. Two hundred thousand taels? Two hundred thousand taels! Butler Feng and Nanny Feng were also shocked when they found the money in the room. You know, this is more than half of the entire Feng family. Nanny Feng, who wanted to inform the old lady, was also frightened by the huge number and dared not move.

The person with the most complicated inner feelings in this room is Madam Feng II. She has been serving and flattering the young lady for more than ten years, but she has not earned as much as Zhou Jing did in one year in the Feng Mansion. This makes her extremely dissatisfied and unbalanced.

Patriarch Feng gave a look, and Butler Feng had someone pin Zhou Jing down on the ground and cover her mouth with a handkerchief. "Old woman, are you giving all your wealth to this girl? Huh?"

Being questioned in front of so many servants in the mansion, Madam Feng immediately felt humiliated. A sense of sullenness rose from the bottom of her heart. She shouted with a red face and thick neck, "This is my own thing. I can do whatever I want with it and give it to whoever I want. Why? Is it not allowed?"

"Okay, okay, your things, but do you still remember the family rules I showed you when you first entered the Feng family?" The old head of the Feng family was so angry that he laughed at his wife's righteous words.

Huh? Why are we talking about family rules again? What family rules? Old Madam Feng was stunned, and Second Madam Feng shook her head unconsciously and lowered her head even lower.

Seeing this, Patriarch Feng no longer expected her to be able to tell the whole story, and directly called on the dowry maid who had been trained by her all those years, "Madam Feng, you tell the story! If I am not confused, you were there and recited it in public."

This? Aunt Feng secretly raised her head and looked at Old Madam Feng on the bed.

"back!"

Few people could withstand the full force of the Feng family head who crawled out of the pile of dead bodies. Aunt Feng was so frightened that she was alert all over and blurted out involuntarily: "The dowry of the Feng family daughter-in-law is only passed on to the family and not to outsiders. She has no strengths and no heart. She is unworthy and disrespectful. Please leave the Feng family."

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Feng collapsed on the bed, without any trace of the momentum she had just shouted: "Master, you can't, I'm too old. Wuuuu..." This time she cried much more sincerely.

Looking at his old wife who was about to be buried, the old master Feng felt sorry for her. They had been married for decades, and the love they had in the past would be embarrassing enough if this matter got out. He sighed secretly in his heart, and his tone softened slightly: "Butler Feng, Madam Feng, you two should check the old lady's dowry list and the account books of the mansion, and retrieve everything that the old lady has touched. If there is anything missing, indicate the source and give it to me."

He glanced at Madam Feng on the bed, and then said, "Madam, spend your old age in Ci'an Hall in peace. Don't let anyone disturb you unless you have something to do." He glanced at Zhou Jing who was pressed to the ground, and said, "Send this girl away tomorrow morning. Go back to where she came from."

"Master, please don't. I'll obey you in everything else. I just ask you to let Jing stay with me."

"Hehe," Patriarch Feng glanced at Second Madam Feng who wanted to plead for mercy, "Don't regret it in the future."
