Chapter 366: Members Of The Feng Family
As soon as they walked towards the Feng Family"s door, the driver"s legs went limp and he fell to the ground.
They, who worked in the Feng Family, knew Madam"s temper the best. She was clearly looking for trouble with Missy just now, but after seeing "Miss Yan", her att.i.tude changed instantly. She seemed to be a little afraid of Miss Yan.
Eldest Missy attended an elite school in North City. Since she was Miss Yan"s cla.s.smate, Miss Yan"s background was probably not simple either.
Not only was he picky with them on the way here, but he had also threatened them!
If they said that out, the Feng Family would never let him off, even if they didn"t want to!
Just as the driver thought that, Yan Jinyu, who was about to step into the Feng Family"s door, suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned back. "Oh right, Second Madam Feng…"
Lu Yuan frowned. She was a little impatient but she didn"t dare to show it. "Miss Yan, is there anything else?"
"There"s indeed something, but it"s not a big deal."
She looked at the driver who was sitting on the ground with a faint smile. She looked pure and kind, but it made the driver feel like a chill had spread to his limbs.
She said something that made the driver"s heart sink to the bottom.
She said, "I don"t know if it"s because I haven"t seen much of the world, but up until now, the Feng Family"s chauffeur is the one I don"t want to comment on the most. Not only is he rude to his Miss, but he also speaks to the guests in an extremely arrogant tone."
She looked at Lu Yuan. "Oh, I"m actually being tactful. With Meimei"s and my looks, we often meet people who drool over our beauty. Second Madam Feng, do you understand what I mean?"
"I wonder if it is only the Feng Family"s chauffeur who is so rude to the guests or if all the Feng Family"s servants are like this."
"Second Madam Feng also knows that I have a fiancé, and my fiancé has a temper and means. I"m sure Second Madam Feng has also heard about it. If he finds out that I was teased by the Feng Family"s chauffeur as soon as I arrive in Cloud City…"
Lu Yuan"s expression froze and she s.h.i.+vered.
She glared at the ashen driver on the ground!
He was incompetent!
"I"ll give Miss Yan an explanation for this. Speaking of which, this happened because we usually neglected to discipline our subordinates. I"ve embarra.s.sed myself in front of Miss Yan."
The servant who was instructed to follow Lu Yuan out, was originally waiting at the door to help her find trouble with Feng Qin. "Go and tell the butler to settle this person"s salary and chase him out of the Feng Family. Our Feng Family can"t afford to keep such an insensitive person who will only embarra.s.s the Feng Family!"
After saying that, she didn"t care how the driver shouted for mercy and asked Yan Jinyu, "Are you satisfied with this solution, Miss Yan?"
Yan Jinyu smiled. "What do you think, Second Madam Feng?" After saying that, she dragged her luggage in. Lu Yuan stood at the same spot uneasily and looked at her back.
What did she mean?
Was she dissatisfied with this solution? Would she still tell Master Nine about this and let Master Nine handle it?
However, it didn"t look like it.
Turning back to look at Lu Yuan, Xi Fengling gloated, "Beauty Yu, that"s a good move. Let her struggle on her own. Then, the more she struggles, the more uneasy she becomes."
And that driver. She knew that with Beauty Yu"s personality, she definitely wouldn"t let it go.
Indeed, she got back at him so quickly.
Actually, Xi Fengling wasn"t someone who repaid evil with kindness. Just like Yan Jinyu, she was very vengeful. However, with Yan Jinyu by her side now, she instinctively waited for Yan Jinyu to make a decision.
Yan Jinyu smiled without saying a word.
Seeing this, Feng Qin felt happy. At the same time, she had a new understanding of Yan Jinyu, Xi Fengling, and especially Yan Jinyu.
She looked innocent and harmless, but actually…
It could only be said that she was indeed someone whom Master Nine cared so much about. She couldn"t be judged based on appearances.
***
Although the Feng Family had declined, it was still a family with a hundred years of history. The Feng Family"s mansion was not inferior to some big families".
Lu Yuanxu was a little uneasy by Yan Jinyu"s ambiguous words, so she didn"t follow them. She pretended to instruct Feng Qin to entertain the guests and left first because she had something to do.
Feng Qin brought the two of them to their room to put their luggage away.
Their room was arranged beside Feng Qin"s.
Feng Qin"s mother, Feng Xiangxiang, didn"t live here. She lived in a courtyard that few people went to.
It was not an exaggeration to say that she lived in seclusion.
Hence, Xi Fengling didn"t see Feng Xiangxiang.
The Feng Family knew that Feng Qin had guests and specially sent a chauffeur to pick them up. After settling down, Feng Qin wanted to bring the two of them to the main building.
It was already dinner time.
Other than Feng Xiangxiang, who lived in seclusion, the Feng Family had to go to the main building to eat usually.
After coming out of Feng Qin"s small building, Xi Fengling didn"t look like anything was wrong. At least, Feng Qin couldn"t see anything wrong with her.
But Yan Jinyu could.
Xi Fengling was in a bad mood and even a little down.
Although it was a small building, anyone with eyes could tell that this was an extremely bad building in the Feng Family"s residence.
Perhaps because Feng Qin didn"t come back often, the courtyard was unmanned and overgrown with weeds.
It looked a little desolate.
There was also very little furniture in this small building.
There was only a sofa and a coffee table in the living room.
The sofa and coffee table were also very old.
She pa.s.sed by Feng Qin"s room when she was putting her luggage upstairs. The door was half-open, and the furnis.h.i.+ngs in the room were very monotonous. There was a bed, a closet, and not even a table or sofa.
That didn"t look like a rich young lady"s room at all. Even the servants lived in better rooms than this.
How could Xi Fengling not be affected when she saw this?
Yan Jinyu didn"t say anything about this. She just patted Xi Fengling"s shoulder and smiled at her.
However, Xi Fengling understood what she meant.
She also smiled at her to show that she was fine.
"Feng Qin, is there anything we need to pay attention to in the Feng Family? For example, is there a courtyard that we can"t go to or where we can"t enter as we please?" Whenever she arrived at an unfamiliar place, Yan Jinyu, who was used to investigating the terrain, looked around. When she saw that there seemed to be a courtyard behind the forest not far away, she couldn"t help but ask.
In order not to appear abrupt, Yan Jinyu smiled and explained, "Usually, big families have some taboos. We still have to stay in the Feng Family for a period of time. It"s better to ask clearly so as to avoid offending you and Auntie."
Beauty Yu wasn"t someone who would care if others had taboos for no reason.
She was afraid of offending. With her personality, she wouldn"t run around in other people"s houses. Why would she offend them?
However, she didn"t ask further because she roughly guessed Beauty Yu"s intentions when she asked.
They all knew that the most likely place for Liu Guang and the others to stay after they disappeared from the capital was Cloud City.
And there were only a few families in Cloud City.
If they were really hiding in Cloud City, who could guarantee that they weren"t staying in the Feng Family?
It was always right to pay more attention.
"You won"t cause any trouble. You"ve all seen my situation in the Feng Family. My mother isn"t much better than me. No matter how the situation is, it won"t be much worse than now." Feng Qin"s tone sounded very indifferent, but if one listened carefully, they could still hear the bitterness in her voice.
"However, there are indeed places in the Feng Family that we can"t step into casually."
"Before we talk about this, let me tell you about the members of the Feng Family first."
"Other than my grandparents, I have three uncles in the Feng Family."
"I"ve never seen Eldest Uncle before. It"s said that he left home a long time ago. Second Uncle is Feng Yan"s father. To be precise, he"s her adoptive father. Feng Yan was adopted by Second Uncle and Second Aunt from the collateral branch. She"s the eldest daughter of the Feng Family in name. Other than that, I have a third uncle."
"Third Uncle is the youngest son of my grandparents. He"s only 27 this year."
"Third Uncle is very mysterious and often disappears. I"ve lived in the Feng Family for more than 10 years and yet I can count the number of times I"ve seen him with one hand."
"And then there"s Second Uncle"s son, who"s also my cousin. He"s a professor at the Imperial Capital University and he"s in academia. He"s similar to me and rarely comes back. You probably won"t meet him in the Feng Family for the next few days."
"Then there"s my mother and me. The Feng Family isn"t complicated."
"As for the place that the Feng Family can"t step into casually." She pointed at the courtyard hidden behind the forest not far away. "There"s a courtyard behind it. Third Uncle lives in that courtyard. Ever since we were brought back by the Feng Family, Grandfather had repeatedly instructed us not to cross that forest."
"Not only my mother and me, but even my grandmother, second uncle, and second aunt are not allowed to enter casually. It"s almost considered a restricted area of the Feng Family."
"Your maternal grandmother is your third uncle"s biological mother. Even she can"t step in casually?" Yan Jinyu raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the forest again.
Seriously, it was impossible for her not to pay attention to it!
"Yes, I don"t know the exact reason either. This rule already existed when my mother and I were brought back by the Feng Family."
"But I heard from the elders in the Feng Family that it seemed to be Third Uncle"s own idea."
Yan Jinyu and Xi Fengling looked at each other. Xi Fengling asked, "Can you tell me what kind of person your third uncle is?"
Seeing that Feng Qin was looking at her in confusion, Xi Fengling smiled. "Don"t think too much. I"m just a little curious. You said that your third uncle is only 27 years old, so he shouldn"t be too old when he set this rule. It"s inevitable that it"s a little surprising that he doesn"t allow his biological mother and brother to step into his residence at such a young age."
"If it"s not convenient to say…"
"It"s not inconvenient!" Feng Qin said quickly.
"I don"t know Third Uncle very well. I haven"t seen him for three years. But in my memory, Third Uncle is… a little scary. Anyway, I"m a little afraid of him."
"It"s not only me. Other than Grandfather, there"s no one in this family who isn"t afraid of him, including Grandmother."
"You haven"t seen him in three years?" Xi Fengling continued to ask when their gazes met, "Is it because he hasn"t returned to the Feng Family for three years?"
Feng Qin didn"t care why Xi Fengling asked so much. She was just happy that Xi Fengling had said so much to her. "That"s not true."
"I don"t go back to the Feng Family often, and Third Uncle doesn"t come back often either. And I always missed the time he came back, so we haven"t seen each other for three years."
"You have to come back during the new year, right? Didn"t you meet him?"
Feng Qin shook her head. "No."
