Chapter 191: Eavesdropping
Feng Cheng's words came out, and there was a silence in the study.
Feng Shangshu looked at his bright-eyed granddaughter, raised his hand and stroked his beard.
His action seemed to be less calm than before, but it seemed to hide his inner uneasiness.
Feng Shangshu was indeed on pins and needles at this time.
Every word his granddaughter said was like a thorn in his heart.
Of course, you can't stay silent.
"What's so conspiring about your third uncle, a bastard who loafes around all day? It must have been the flower girl who saw that your third uncle was a fool who was easy to deceive, and found him when she was in trouble. β
Feng Cheng sighed darkly.
Looking at her grandfather's reaction, it was obvious that he had an inside story, but he didn't intend to say it to her.
"The granddaughter thinks that things are not so simple, and Adai is not just looking for the third uncle now. Grandfather still remembers the disappearance of the third uncle in the mountains and forests, right? β
Feng Shangshu nodded.
After the unlucky child was carried back, he learned that it was a hunter who brought him back to his home.
Feng Cheng looked at Feng Shangshu and said word for word: "Adai is the daughter of that Orion." β
Feng Shangshu's eyes changed suddenly.
"Doesn't grandfather think it's strange that the third uncle fell into Orion's net? Soon after, in order to save her father, Adai sold herself to the Red Apricot Pavilion where the third uncle frequented, and the third uncle recognized her, and took out his wallet and got off her in order to save her father. β
Feng Shangshu's tone was complicated: "Your third uncle never went to the Red Apricot Pavilion again. β
This is also one of the reasons why Jinlanwei let people go easily.
Feng Cheng smiled: "That's why it's even more strange." The third uncle didn't go to the Red Apricot Pavilion for a long time, and Ade's father just died, so Adei had a justifiable reason to flee from the Red Apricot Pavilion, and she escaped to the painting boat of Dou Wulang's banquet, and escaped into the room where the third uncle was resting, grandfather, think about it. β
Feng Shangshu frowned and was silent.
Feng Cheng had a dry mouth, poured himself a cup of tea and drank two sips to moisten his throat, and said in a determined tone: "Ah Dai didn't find the third uncle when she was in trouble today, but did everything possible to come to the third uncle." What did my grandfather think? β
Feng Shangshu also poured himself a cup of tea and took two sips.
What else could he feel, it was clearly like that.
"Grandfather, Jin Liangwei said that Adai is going to commit a crime, why is she a flower girl?"
"Xu is involved in a homicide case."
Feng Cheng became more and more convinced that the inner story was not simple, so his grandfather was reluctant to explain it to her as a little girl.
In the end, I think she's just a boudoir girl.
"Involved in the homicide case, it is the Yamen of Shuntianfu and the Criminal Department that must be followed up, so as not to alarm the Jinliang Guard." Feng Cheng was not annoyed, and pointed out this in a calm tone.
Feng Shangshu's eyes changed as he looked at her.
After being silent for a moment, the old man changed the subject: "Orange, how do you know that Adai is the daughter of that Orion?" How could you be on that boat today? β
Feng Cheng smiled: "Isn't it too worried that the third uncle disappeared that day, so I went out to look for it, and then found Orion's house." β
When Feng Shangshu heard this, his eyes widened.
Feng Cheng didn't give the old grandfather time to ask for details, and continued: "Later, I heard that Ah Dai actually became the flower girl of the Red Apricot Pavilion, so I suspected that she had a problem, and the third uncle was not allowed to go to the Red Apricot Pavilion again. β
It turned out that the granddaughter stopped the evil obstacle from going to the Red Apricot Pavilion.
Feng Shangshu didn't know for a while whether to be glad about his granddaughter's sensibility or angry at his son's stupidity.
As for how her granddaughter knew that Adai had become a flower girl in the Red Apricot Pavilion, she subconsciously believed that her youngest son told her.
"As for going to the painting boatβ" Feng Cheng pressed his temples, "I somehow made my eyelids jump so hard this morning, as if something bad had happened." The granddaughter thought about it, and the most unreassuring thing in the family was the third uncle, thinking that the third uncle told me yesterday that I was going to Dou Wulang's banquet today, so I mixed up with the painting boat. β
Feng Shangshu pounded the table.
The third bastard thing, even the niece is heartbroken for him!
"Grandfather, you are so wise, can you analyze why Adai is eyeing the third uncle?"
Feng Shangshu was in a heavy mood.
"Grandfather-" Feng Cheng reached out and grabbed Feng Shangshu's sleeve, and Baba looked at him.
Feng Shangshu was silent for a moment, but he still relented: "People's hearts are unpredictable, how can they be analyzed." β
Feng Cheng let go of his hand in disappointment: "That granddaughter went back first." β
Looking at his granddaughter who lowered his eyes and bowed his head, Feng Shangshu wanted to rub her head, and finally waved his hand: "Go back, don't worry about adult affairs." β
After Feng Cheng left, Feng Shangshu sat for a long time, left the study with his feet raised, and went straight to Feng Jinxi's residence.
When the little guy saw Feng Shangshu coming, his face turned white with fright: "Old, old lady, you are here-"
"Where's your lord?"
"In the house, the doctor just left."
He was about to decoct the medicine for his son, why did the old lady come!
Feng Shangshu raised his eyebrows.
Got a doctor?
Feng Shangshu didn't pay any attention to the little guy anymore and walked inside.
Chengfeng hurriedly followed, and shouted into the house: "The old lady is here." β
Different from the residence of a bunch of wives and girls in the maids-in-law, in addition to a small servant who served closely, there were only two subordinates in charge of sprinkling and sweeping.
This is not harsh Feng Jinxi, but most of the children of civil official families have to take the road of the imperial examination, and they can't bear the hardships of studying.
Even if Feng Shangshu was already at the peak of the Great Wei civil officials, and there were piles of gold and silver at home, he would not put a boy in a pile of splendid embroidery like the noble family.
In this way, it was convenient for Feng Cheng to slip in.
Taking advantage of the small chaos caused by Feng Shangshu's arrival, Feng Cheng successfully hid and calmly combed the falling broken hair.
She knew that her grandfather would come to find the third uncle.
Since her grandfather wasn't going to tell her, she had to take the initiative to listen.
After Feng Shangshu entered, he looked at Feng Jinxi with an expressionless face.
Feng Jinxi called out to his father with a pale face.
Feng Cheng hid in the shadows, looking at Feng Jinxi's appearance and sighed secretly.
It seems that the third uncle really knows that he is afraid this time.
Go to a place like Jinlanwei, but anyone who is not hopeless will eventually grow.
"You get out." Feng Shangshu instructed Chengfeng, "Go outside and guard, and don't allow others to approach." β
Chengfeng glanced at Feng Jinxi and retreated silently.
There was a moment of silence in the house.
Feng Cheng held his breath and pricked up his ears.
Feng Shangshu sat down and looked at Feng Jinxi.
"Does it hurt?"
Feng Jinxi's face flashed with guilt: "It's all sons who deserve it." β
When he was taken to Jinlinwei, he thought a lot, as long as he thought about the possibility of Shangshu Mansion being convicted because of him, it was like falling into a cold ice hell.
"Will you go to those messy places in the future?" Feng Shangshu asked again.
Feng Jinxi's face turned pale: "My son knows that he is wrong, and he will never go to those pickled places again." β
Feng Shangshu shook his head.
"Father, what the son said this time is true!"
Feng Shangshu stared at Feng Jinxi tightly and said slowly: "It's just like this, it's not enough. β
Feng Jinxi was stunned, not understanding the meaning of these words.
Feng Cheng clenched his fist lightly.
It seems that there is going to be a secret.
