As soon as they walked towards the Feng Familyâs door, the driverâs legs went limp and he fell to the ground.
They, who worked in the Feng Family, knew Madamâs temper the best. She was clearly looking for trouble with Missy just now, but after seeing âMiss Yanâ, her attitude 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 Yanâs classmate, Miss Yanâs 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 didnât want to!
Just as the driver thought that, Yan Jinyu, who was about to step into the Feng Familyâs door, suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned back. âOh right, Second Madam Fengâ¦â
Lu Yuan frowned. She was a little impatient but she didnât dare to show it. âMiss Yan, is there anything else?â
âThereâs indeed something, but itâs not a big deal.â
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 driverâs heart sink to the bottom.
She said, âI donât know if itâs because I havenât seen much of the world, but up until now, the Feng Familyâs chauffeur is the one I donât 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.â
She looked at Lu Yuan. âOh, Iâm actually being tactful. With Meimeiâs and my looks, we often meet people who drool over our beauty. Second Madam Feng, do you understand what I mean?â
âI wonder if it is only the Feng Familyâs chauffeur who is so rude to the guests or if all the Feng Familyâs servants are like this.â
âSecond Madam Feng also knows that I have a fiancé, and my fiancé has a temper and means. Iâm sure Second Madam Feng has also heard about it. If he finds out that I was teased by the Feng Familyâs chauffeur as soon as I arrive in Cloud Cityâ¦â
Lu Yuanâs expression froze and she shivered.
She glared at the ashen driver on the ground!
He was incompetent!
âIâll give Miss Yan an explanation for this. Speaking of which, this happened because we usually neglected to discipline our subordinates. Iâve embarrassed myself in front of Miss Yan.â
The servant who was instructed to follow Lu Yuan out, was originally waiting at the door to help her find trouble with Feng Qin. âGo and tell the butler to settle this personâs salary and chase him out of the Feng Family. Our Feng Family canât afford to keep such an insensitive person who will only embarrass the Feng Family!â
After saying that, she didnât care how the driver shouted for mercy and asked Yan Jinyu, âAre you satisfied with this solution, Miss Yan?â
Yan Jinyu smiled. âWhat do you think, Second Madam Feng?â 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 didnât look like it.
Turning back to look at Lu Yuan, Xi Fengling gloated, âBeauty Yu, thatâs a good move. Let her struggle on her own. Then, the more she struggles, the more uneasy she becomes.â
And that driver. She knew that with Beauty Yuâs personality, she definitely wouldnât let it go.
Indeed, she got back at him so quickly.
Actually, Xi Fengling wasnât 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 actuallyâ¦
It could only be said that she was indeed someone whom Master Nine cared so much about. She couldnât be judged based on appearances.
***
Although the Feng Family had declined, it was still a family with a hundred years of history. The Feng Familyâs mansion was not inferior to some big familiesâ.
Lu Yuanxu was a little uneasy by Yan Jinyuâs ambiguous words, so she didnât 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 Qinâs.
Feng Qinâs mother, Feng Xiangxiang, didnât 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 didnât 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 Qinâs small building, Xi Fengling didnât look like anything was wrong. At least, Feng Qin couldnât 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 Familyâs residence.
Perhaps because Feng Qin didnât 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 passed by Feng Qinâs room when she was putting her luggage upstairs. The door was half-open, and the furnishings in the room were very monotonous. There was a bed, a closet, and not even a table or sofa.
That didnât look like a rich young ladyâs 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 didnât say anything about this. She just patted Xi Fenglingâs shoulder and smiled at her.
However, Xi Fengling understood what she meant.
She also smiled at her to show that she was fine.
âFeng Qin, is there anything we need to pay attention to in the Feng Family? For example, is there a courtyard that we canât go to or where we canât enter as we please?â 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 couldnât help but ask.
In order not to appear abrupt, Yan Jinyu smiled and explained, âUsually, big families have some taboos. We still have to stay in the Feng Family for a period of time. Itâs better to ask clearly so as to avoid offending you and Auntie.â
Beauty Yu wasnât someone who would care if others had taboos for no reason.
She was afraid of offending. With her personality, she wouldnât run around in other peopleâs houses. Why would she offend them?
However, she didnât ask further because she roughly guessed Beauty Yuâs 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 werenât staying in the Feng Family?
It was always right to pay more attention.
âYou wonât cause any trouble. Youâve all seen my situation in the Feng Family. My mother isnât much better than me. No matter how the situation is, it wonât be much worse than now.â Feng Qinâs tone sounded very indifferent, but if one listened carefully, they could still hear the bitterness in her voice.
âHowever, there are indeed places in the Feng Family that we canât step into casually.â
âBefore we talk about this, let me tell you about the members of the Feng Family first.â
âOther than my grandparents, I have three uncles in the Feng Family.â
âIâve never seen Eldest Uncle before. Itâs said that he left home a long time ago. Second Uncle is Feng Yanâs father. To be precise, heâs her adoptive father. Feng Yan was adopted by Second Uncle and Second Aunt from the collateral branch. Sheâs the eldest daughter of the Feng Family in name. Other than that, I have a third uncle.â
âThird Uncle is the youngest son of my grandparents. Heâs only 27 this year.â
âThird Uncle is very mysterious and often disappears. Iâve lived in the Feng Family for more than 10 years and yet I can count the number of times Iâve seen him with one hand.â
âAnd then thereâs Second Uncleâs son, whoâs also my cousin. Heâs a professor at the Imperial Capital University and heâs in academia. Heâs similar to me and rarely comes back. You probably wonât meet him in the Feng Family for the next few days.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThen thereâs my mother and me. The Feng Family isnât complicated.â
âAs for the place that the Feng Family canât step into casually.â She pointed at the courtyard hidden behind the forest not far away. âThereâs 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.â
âNot only my mother and me, but even my grandmother, second uncle, and second aunt are not allowed to enter casually. Itâs almost considered a restricted area of the Feng Family.â
âYour maternal grandmother is your third uncleâs biological mother. Even she canât step in casually?â Yan Jinyu raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the forest again.
Seriously, it was impossible for her not to pay attention to it!
âYes, I donât know the exact reason either. This rule already existed when my mother and I were brought back by the Feng Family.â
âBut I heard from the elders in the Feng Family that it seemed to be Third Uncleâs own idea.â
Yan Jinyu and Xi Fengling looked at each other. Xi Fengling asked, âCan you tell me what kind of person your third uncle is?â
Seeing that Feng Qin was looking at her in confusion, Xi Fengling smiled. âDonât think too much. Iâm just a little curious. You said that your third uncle is only 27 years old, so he shouldnât be too old when he set this rule. Itâs inevitable that itâs a little surprising that he doesnât allow his biological mother and brother to step into his residence at such a young age.â
âIf itâs not convenient to sayâ¦â
âItâs not inconvenient!â Feng Qin said quickly.
âI donât know Third Uncle very well. I havenât seen him for three years. But in my memory, Third Uncle is⦠a little scary. Anyway, Iâm a little afraid of him.â
âItâs not only me. Other than Grandfather, thereâs no one in this family who isnât afraid of him, including Grandmother.â
âYou havenât seen him in three years?â Xi Fengling continued to ask when their gazes met, âIs it because he hasnât returned to the Feng Family for three years?â
Feng Qin didnât care why Xi Fengling asked so much. She was just happy that Xi Fengling had said so much to her. âThatâs not true.â
âI donât go back to the Feng Family often, and Third Uncle doesnât come back often either. And I always missed the time he came back, so we havenât seen each other for three years.â
âYou have to come back during the new year, right? Didnât you meet him?â
Feng Qin shook her head. âNo.â
