meet again

Chapter 42

These words were as sharp as a blade, piercing into Feng Shilang's heart and lungs.

The muscles on Feng Shilang's face trembled violently a few times.

His memory suddenly returned to that night three years ago.

The sad news of Feng Lun's tragic death spread to the capital, and Mrs. Feng fainted on the spot.He, the father, wept bitterly in the study.Although Feng Lun was adopted to his younger brother, he grew up in the ancestral house in Pingjiang Mansion.But after all, they are his own flesh and blood!
Moreover, Feng Lun has outstanding talents, extraordinary intelligence, and is proud of the imperial examination.He has always been proud of his youngest son.

Feng Lun's death must have something to do with Jiangnan governor Cao Zhen.

A Cao Zhen is not to be feared, what is terrible is that Cao Zhen is the direct brother of Concubine Cao in the palace, the nephew of the Empress Dowager Cao in the Palace of Compassionate Ning, and the uncle of His Highness the King of Han.

The Cao family gave birth to a queen mother and a noble concubine, who were extremely wealthy and powerful.Emperor Long'an was also very close to foreign families.Cao's family, no less than 20 people are officials in the court.

Some of these Cao family's children were sent out to serve as magistrates and judges, and some worked as errands in the Six Departments of the capital.Cao Zhen has the highest official position and is the second-rank governor of Jiangnan.Coupled with the backing of the empress dowager and concubine in the palace, the power is huge.

In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, some dared to provoke the royal family, but no one dared to confront the Cao family.Not to mention that he is just the right servant of the Ministry of Rites.

He couldn't let the whole Feng family die because of Feng Lun's death.

This murder case can only be let go.The darkness behind it and the huge inside story can only go underground with Feng Lun.

In the past three years, every time he thought of his son who died innocently, he would come to the study and read Feng Lun's letter slowly.Heartbroken and uncomfortable, put the letter back in the box and lock it.

Even Mrs. Feng didn't know.

He hides this secret alone, like drinking a cup of bitter yellow lotus.The pain in my heart, who knows?
Why did this bastard girl open her mouth to accuse him?

Feng Shilang stared at Feng Shaojun fiercely, and lowered his voice: "There are many hidden secrets behind this murder case. What do you know, a little girl!"

Feng Shaojun sneered, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he saw all the darkness in Feng Shilang's heart: "What hidden secrets, what worries. Uncle and grandpa, don't put gold on your face. It is nothing more than weighing the pros and cons, suppressing the murder case, and bowing to the Cao family , just trying to survive."

"Oh, that's right. My uncle is also good at making marriages."

"Back then my little aunt married King Kangjun, and my uncle was promoted from a fourth-rank gentleman to a third-rank servant. More than two years ago, cousin Shaomei was married to the lame brother-in-law Xie, and he became an in-law with the Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

"Now, what do you want to do when you take me back to the capital?"

"Could it be that he fell in love with the sick young Prince Xiaojun in the Prince Qin's mansion, and wanted to marry my granddaughter to Xiaojun Wang Chongxi?"

"In my father's last letter, he begged my uncle to take care of me. It turns out that this is how my uncle took care of his son's orphan!"

Feng Shilang: "..."

With Feng Shilang's heart and thick face, Feng Shaojun's ridicule made him feel hot behind his ears.

No matter how cruel and ruthless a person is, there is also a weakness in his heart.Feng Shilang's only weakness is his dead son.

All the dark calculations in my heart were exposed.

At this moment, Feng Shilang was like a snail that lost its shell, fragile and embarrassed.

He even forgot to ask Feng Shaojun why he knew what was going on in his mind, and defended himself weakly: "The little county king of Prince Qin's mansion was indeed sick and weak since he was a child. However, he is a decent grandson of the heavenly family, with a dignified status."

"If it wasn't for the perennial illness, how could it be the Feng family's turn for such a marriage."

Feng Shaojun sneered coldly: "Yes! As an orphan girl without father and mother, I was able to marry into Prince Qin's mansion because I burned incense in my previous life. Even if I entered the house as a widow and was buried with the king of the small county in the future, it was me who It’s a blessing. Uncle, don’t you think so?”

Feng Shilang was speechless.

No matter how shameless he is, he can't say "yes".

The candle flame jumped suddenly, casting a shadow on Feng Shaojun's fair face.

The face is still so soft and beautiful, but the eyes are like blades.Such a stark contrast makes people feel inexplicably chilled.

This is by no means a weak orphan who is at the mercy of her elders!

She came prepared to turn the Feng family upside down!
With this level of understanding, Feng Shilang looked at Feng Shaojun and put on his guard: "Young gentleman, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Even if your father's murder case has something to do with it, what can you do as a girl who can't handle it? The Cao family has deep roots, and our Feng family can't afford to provoke them."

"What's on your mind, put it away quickly. Don't implicate the young and old of the Feng family!"

After speaking, her waist gradually straightened, and her voice became more sonorous and forceful: "I'm sorry for your father. But I not only have your father and a son, I also have an eldest son, a second son, an eldest daughter, and a second daughter, and a bunch of children and grandchildren."

"Back then, I wrote many times to persuade him to give up and be like the light. He was stubborn and refused to listen. As a result, he was killed."

"He died as soon as he closed his eyes. Because of him, I was underestimated and underestimated. I was tempted and made things difficult by the Cao family. I married Shaomei to the Xie family and married the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. What is the reason?"

"Only if I am stable in the court, the Feng family can have a good life!"

Feng Shaojun sneered: "Yes, my uncle had no choice but to sell his daughter for glory, and he was also forced to marry his granddaughter to a cripple."

"You want to marry me into Prince Qin's mansion, and it's definitely not for the sake of climbing the dragon and becoming the phoenix. Everything is forced."

Feng Shilang was so ridiculed that his old face burned.

With the facts before our eyes, all the words of refutation seem pale and powerless.

He simply beat back: "There are very few people who know about this. How on earth do you know?"

Feng Shaojun's eyes were cold: "How I know is not important. The important thing is that my chess piece is neither obedient nor easy to manipulate."

"Now, what does uncle plan to do with me?"

Feng Shilang's face is old and thick, so embarrassing, he can still squeeze out a smile: "It's my uncle's mistake. My uncle is going to accompany you."

"You made a big fuss at the flower viewing feast today, and made the Feng family embarrassing. The marriage will definitely not work out. The bad breath in your heart should be almost out!"

"Young Master, you can't write two characters of Feng in one stroke. You want to call your uncle and grandfather to let you go, but you know in your heart that I am your grandfather. Both your parents are dead, and the Cui family is a foreign family. In the end, the Feng family has to decide."

"The Feng family is well. Only you, a girl from the Feng family, can marry well. When you arrive at your husband's family in the future, you will have your natal family to rely on."

"You listen to your grandfather's words, get Mama Zheng back quickly, and burn all those letters."

"From now on, our family will live a good life behind closed doors. Grandpa will definitely choose a good marriage for you, and let you marry a good husband."
