Chapter 3 Filial Piety
Feng Xinlan's intuition was correct, Aunt Ji came here this time for her marriage.

"Hey, Miss, I heard that you woke up today, and you look pretty good, otherwise I'm going to worship Buddha and burn incense for you!"

As soon as Aunt Ji saw her, she smiled all over her face, and tried to hold her little hand pretending to be affectionate, but Feng Xinlan deliberately avoided it.

The smile on Aunt Ji's face froze.

"Auntie is here to discuss something important, just speak up if you have something to say."

Feng Xinlan got up and asked Suhua to bring over the top-grade Yunzhou Maojian green tea.

The steaming mist lingered between the seats of the two of them, seeing her like this, Aunt Ji suppressed her smile.

"A few days ago, I heard that my wife gave Miss a visit to the Song family in Taizhou next door, but I don't know if Miss has heard of it?"

After finishing speaking, Aunt Ji looked over with probing eyes.

In fact, in the previous life, Feng Xinlan first heard that her fiancé was Song Tiexin from Aunt Ji.

At that time, she was high-minded, self-reliant on her beauty, and wanted to find a man who was more handsome and talented than her elder brother. In the end, she was misled by Aunt Ji and Feng Suilan to regret her marriage and wanted to marry into the Pingyang Palace as a princess.

But this marriage was discussed by the Feng family and the Song family a long time ago. Although they have not been in contact with each other these years, the Song family is not a small family. Lost face, and put tens of thousands of taels of silver in.

At this time, Feng Suilan took advantage of the emptiness and tried every means to get close to Song Tiexin, intending to snatch the marriage.

In short, Aunt Ji came here this time to make a fuss.

Feng Xinlan is a person of two generations and hates gossiping people the most, she immediately nodded and said, "My mother said this, she thinks the Song family is good, and I have no objection."

Aunt Ji was stunned for a moment, smirked twice, and began to sow discord, "But I heard that the son of the Song family is over [-] years old and has already taken in several concubines. Is this kind of family, the young lady also likes it?"

Feng Xinlan knew her trick, and frowned pretending to be distressed, "Ah? Is that really the case?"

"That's right, my wife is hiding this from you, just because I'm afraid you won't agree!"

Seeing her taking the bait, Aunt Ji said a lot of bad things about the Song family, and Feng Xinlan lost her temper and sent her away.

Su Hua was startled when she heard the movement, and immediately came over to ask, "Miss, did Aunt Ji make you angry again?"

"Hahaha, it's okay, I did it on purpose." Feng Xinlan shook her head and smiled mysteriously.

The girl's delicate face became more and more beautiful because of this cheerful smile.

And Aunt Ji, who returned to Hongxiju, was equally happy.

"Auntie, is your idea really right?"

Feng Suilan sat beside her and asked nervously.

"Don't worry, I've made inquiries. In two days, Mrs. Song will come to visit Feng Xinlan when she hears that Feng Xinlan is ill. It's actually for the sake of seeing each other."

A schadenfreude flashed in Aunt Ji's eyes, "When I left just now, that little bitch's face changed a long time ago, just wait and see!"

Feng Suilan touched her face worriedly, "Mother, will the Song family think of me?"

She has lived with Aunt Ji since she was a child, and she is almost sixteen now, and she has always been a concubine. Aunt Ji is afraid that her wife will go there and abuse her.

"My wife is too much. I am obviously older than Feng Xinlan, so she finds her husband's family for the younger one. Isn't this going to delay me?"

Aunt Ji patted her head pityingly, "Sui Lan is good, they won't help you, but Auntie will help you. With your talent and appearance, the Song family is worthy of you."

"As long as you get close to your father on weekdays and win his favor, are you afraid of being compared to that illiterate little bitch?"

Feng Suilan listened silently, a trace of jealousy and malice flashed in her eyes.

Feng Xinlan was in no hurry about her marriage.

In her opinion, no reliable husband's family can compare to a reliable mother's family. She has experienced such a profound lesson in her previous life that she has long since lost interest in men.

In fact, she was also intimidated by Zhan Wenjiang.

She went to the kitchen herself and watched the cook cook a bowl of silver silk bird's nest before asking Suhua to carry it and went to the Ci'an Hall where old lady Feng lived in the backyard.

When Nanny He, who was serving Mrs. Feng, saw her, she immediately came over to greet her, "Miss, it's getting dark today, so why don't you come and see for yourself."

"I'll see if grandma sleeps well at night."

Feng Xinlan likes coming here very much, and she is very kind when she sees Nanny He.

After entering the room, Mrs. Feng heard her voice and immediately called her, "Girl Xinlan is here, come in quickly, let me see if you are alright!"

"grandmother!"

Feng Xinlan walked over quickly, and hugged the old lady who was still caring about herself in her old age, and many strange emotions surged in her heart.

In the previous life, this old lady who seemed strict but loved her very much had three years to live.

Feng Xinlan was very reluctant to part with her, so she had to come and have a look at her tonight to feel at ease.

"You child, why are you still crying?"

Old Mrs. Feng nodded her pretty nose, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "You are also fifteen, and you have become a big girl. I don't know how long I can keep you."

Mammy He came over with a bird's nest, and smiled, "Miss was born well, and she will marry a good family in the future."

Feng Xinlan didn't care about this matter at all, and said indifferently, "I'm still young, I don't want to get married, I want to stay with grandma all the time."

"Okay, okay, you girl don't say anything else, this filial piety is really good!"

Old Madam Feng was coaxed happily by her, so her appetite increased in the evening, and she ate up the whole bowl of bird's nest.

Before Feng Xinlan left Ci'an Hall, she took Nanny He's hand and stuffed a pouch with a medicinal fragrance, "Mommy, I made this specially for grandma, it can soothe the nerves and help her sleep."

"Miss, thank you for the old lady's kindness."

Mammy He suddenly felt that she seemed to be more sensible, and said a few more words, "Miss, it's not that I'm a talkative old man, you don't want to provoke the one in the suburbs anymore, the old lady doesn't like it."

She didn't say whether Mrs. Feng didn't like her being close to Zhan Wenjiang, or she didn't like Zhan Wenjiang.

Feng Xinlan had no choice but to write it down.

After returning to the small attic, it was already Xu time.

Suhua had already prepared hot water for her to take a bath, but Feng Yuxun rushed over and knocked on the door in a hurry.

Feng Xinlan immediately thought of the one in the suburbs, who hadn't taken a shower, and went to open the door, "Big Brother, did something happen to Zhan Wenjiang?"

Feng Yuxun panted heavily and nodded, "When I arrived there, there were bloodstains in the house, but the person was gone. According to people in the village, he left early in the morning and never came back."

"Okay!" Feng Xinlan was stunned.
