Chapter 388: A Change Is About To Take Place

Feng Xu didn’t say anything. It was obvious that he was struggling inwardly.

Feng Yun didn’t urge him either.

After a long while, Feng Xu looked up and asked Feng Yun directly, “How did Brother manage to change my assignments? I have to agree before others can accept the assignments. I also have to agree before they can cancel the assignments.”

He had already made his decision since he asked that.

“I naturally have my ways.”

“Alright, since Brother doesn’t want to say it, I won’t ask anymore. I’ll set off for North City tomorrow morning. Now, Brother can tell me what you’re talking about, right?”

“Other than the fact that the Feng Family is very likely related to Eldest Uncle and Eldest Aunt’s deaths, are they also involved in something bigger?”

“Brother, don’t use words to brush me off. I’m not stupid. I’ve only been to Third Uncle’s courtyard once when I was very young. He doesn’t even care about the Feng Family. There’s no reason for him to meet Eldest Miss Yan and Xi… He invited them to dinner the first time he saw them. He even invited them to his courtyard to eat. Moreover, he used the excuse that the Feng Family has been neglecting them these few days to apologize to the Feng Family.”

“Apologize for the Feng Family neglecting their guests? Third Uncle isn’t close to the Feng Family, so why would he care if the Feng Family neglects their guests?”

“He even specially went to Qin’er’s courtyard because of this. He obviously has ulterior motives.”

“Did Eldest Miss Yan or Fengling have a feud with my Third Uncle before?”

Hearing his question, Feng Qin and Feng Xiangxiang were also very curious.

His gaze wandered between the three of them as he waited for them to answer.

“Maybe yes, maybe no,” Yan Jinyu said.

“I’m just suspicious. I’m not sure yet. If Second Young Master Feng is smart enough, you should know that the more you know, the worse it will be for you.”

Yan Jinyu’s meaning was already very obvious. She wouldn’t tell him anything more.

Feng Xu looked at her, then at Xi Fengling and Feng Yun. In the end, he lowered his eyes.

He had always thought that his family was just pursuing fame and fortune and were willing to do immoral things to achieve their goal.

For example, trapping his aunt and using her to restrain Qin’er.

Another example was having designs on beautiful young girls like Fengling and Miss Yan to gain benefits for the Feng Family when they met them.

However, he did not expect that they might have done something even worse.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Feng Xiangxiang said, “Do you have any snacks you want to eat? I’ll make them.”

Seeing that no one was saying anything, Xi Fengling said, “Mom, don’t trouble yourself. We just had breakfast. We’re not hungry yet.”

Although it wasn’t the first time she heard Xi Fengling call her Mom, Feng Xiangxiang felt a lump in her throat every time she heard it.

“Then I’ll go wash some fruits for you.”

Seeing that she was about to cry, Xi Fengling felt a little uncomfortable. “Alright.”

After Feng Xiangxiang washed, cut, and brought the fruits over, the atmosphere in the living room had almost eased up.

Feng Xu finally recovered from his dilemma and looked at Xi Fengling. “Are you really… my cousin?”

Xi Fengling couldn’t help but laugh when he asked so carefully.

Indeed, the change in him before and after was indeed a little extreme. He was clearly such a composed person before.

“Yes, do you want to see the paternity test?”

“Don’t misunderstand. It’s not that I don’t believe you. I just find it a little unbelievable. I’ve heard of your name in the capital. I really didn’t expect you to be my cousin.”

“What name?” Feng Xiangxiang suddenly asked.

Over the past few days, she had been very rational and didn’t ask about Xi Fengling. She didn’t even ask about Feng Qin.

However, this didn’t mean that she didn’t want to know how Xi Fengling had survived all these years.

Feng Xu knew at a glance that Feng Xiangxiang still didn’t know Xi Fengling’s reputation in the capital. It wasn’t his place to say anything, so he didn’t say anything.

Xi Fengling smiled. “It’s nothing. It’s just that I’m doing a small business in the capital and am with Min Rufeng. Min Rufeng is the head of the Min Family now. It’s inevitable that we will become someone else’s topic of conversation because of the difference in our family status.”

“Then you…”

“Mom, don’t worry. Others can’t interfere in Min Rufeng and my matters. We’ll live our lives and let others say whatever they want.”

“…” Feng Qin and Feng Xu.

That was not what they heard.

She was the one who protected Second Young Master Min before he revealed his abilities.

“Then, will the Min Family…”

“Mom wants to ask if the Min Family will stop me from being with Min Rufeng because of my background?”

Feng Xiangxiang nodded.

“Mom is thinking too much. Min Rufeng is the head of the Min Family now. Before the New Year, he took over the power of the Min Family. He has taken in all the people who should be taken in and settled the people who should be dealt with. Now, he has the final say in the Min Family. Besides, I’m not so easy to bully. Don’t worry.”

Not wanting Feng Xiangxiang to worry unnecessarily, Feng Qin added, “Mom, you might not know this, but in such a big family, whoever is in charge is the one who has the final say. I’ve seen Second Young Master Min once and he treats Sister very well. Sister won’t be mistreated in the Min Family, so don’t worry.”

However, although she said that, Feng Qin was actually still a little worried.

She was worried that Min Rufeng would have a change of heart and Xi Fengling would get hurt.

On second thought, she realized that Xi Fengling was also very formidable and even had such a good relationship with Yan Jinyu. She even had some unknown relationship with Feng Yun. Only then did she slowly feel relieved.

“That’s good,” Feng Xiangxiang said.

Actually, even if she was worried, she could not help much.

Her guilt towards Xi Fengling intensified.

As soon as the topic changed, Feng Xu suddenly couldn’t speak anymore.

He turned to Feng Yun and wanted to ask many questions.

For example, if he had really shut himself in all these years like he knew. For example, how he had been living in the Yin Family all these years. For example, what exactly had happened to Eldest Uncle back then. For example, where he had gone during the years he was missing; why he was so seriously injured when he was brought back by the Yin Family; why did the news of Eldest Uncle and Eldest Aunt died on a mission spread when he was brought back by the Yin Family? Was there any connection between all these…

However, he still didn’t ask anything.

Perhaps, he knew. Even if he asked, Feng Yun might not say anything.

***

There was no need for Yan Jinyu and the rest to find an excuse later. Someone from Feng Lun’s side sent a message saying that he had something to do at the last minute and would push the meal to tomorrow.

The next morning, Feng Xu left the Feng Family early. Feng Qing got the butler to send the dowry that Feng Yun’s grandmother had left behind to Feng Li’s courtyard, which was Feng Yun’s courtyard now.

The three wooden jewelry boxes were mostly priceless treasures that could not be bought with money.

As for Feng Qin’s courtyard, it had been renovated after a day.

All the furniture was available. Even the guest room was well decorated.

Not long after Feng Yun received his grandmother’s dowry, Feng Qing called someone to pass the message that he wanted to bring him to see someone.

At the same time, someone broke into Feng Xiangxiang’s courtyard and tried to take her away.

Yan Jinyu’s side wasn’t quiet either.

Feng Lun got someone to pick them up and bring them to his courtyard. He said that he wanted them to go over first and wait for lunch.
