The Reborn Noble Daughter Chapter 182

Chapter 182 182. Secret message

In other words, it will be at least two months before they can expect reinforcements. If the city is broken during this time...

 After hearing this, everyone was silent.

"Okay, if that's the case, then we should also be mentally prepared. It's better to rely on ourselves than to ask for help. Is all these years of business in vain?" The words spoken by Mrs. Feng's rugged body were loud and clear. People present saw that he was over seventy years old. They are all so brave, so naturally they are encouraged.

 Everyone was discussing important matters in the front hall, and a white pigeon fluttered in a courtyard in the backyard.

The person next to him stepped forward to catch the white dove, and neatly took out a letter written in secret from its feet and handed it to the owner in front of him.

The man opened the letter and took a look, and soon a calculating smile appeared on his face.

“Fourth Young Master, is there any news from the Duke?”

“Well, the Duke asked me to understand the situation of the Feng family mine one by one, so that when the Ninth Prince comes over in the future, I can explain it to Mr. Du next to him.”

This piece of fat from the Feng family was coveted by the royal family, and naturally others would also covet it, especially Duke Wei. After failing to win over the Bai Feng family in the early years, he began to think of ways to disintegrate their power from within.

It's a pity that the Bai family is very thin and everyone is indifferent to fame and fortune. They can always get together like cotton that cannot be torn. On the contrary, the second room of the Feng family in the northwest has many nephews and nephews, and they are all involved in trivial matters. There are many clan members, so it is much easier to start from here.

 After picking and choosing, I selected Feng Jinhao from a branch of the Feng family.

Both of his parents died. He was raised in the second room of the Feng family since he was a child. He was raised by Fengshan's concubine Guo. He was calm and very cunning. He pretended to be a weak scholar, but he deceived the family members. Everyone, including Hua Shi, the mother of the second house owner of the Feng family who is jealous.

"Okay, this way, the fourth young master will definitely be able to gain face in front of the Ninth Prince, and his future will be bright!" Next to him was Uncle Zhuang, a confidant whom Mr. Guo had trained for many years. He had been following him since his death. He was very loyal and reliable. .

"The people from Beidi came at the right time this time. They not only disrupted the second aunt's investigation of the mole at home, but also helped me fish in troubled waters to know the situation of the mine. I will take over the position of head of the family in the future. Uncle Zhuang and my aunt's hatred. Then you can get retribution.”

 When they mentioned their aunt, both the master and the servant had hatred in their eyes.

Ms. Guo was a kind-hearted person, and she never felt jealous in the backyard. She treated him as if she were her own son, and kept everything good for him. However, a cold wind took her life!

The head of the family, Fengshan, was indifferent and the mistress, Hua, was indifferent. It was their neglect and indifference that led to his death. Since they never wanted to take their mother and son seriously, they let him disturb this. God, this place is in chaos, wait until they are in disaster and then go to the underworld to apologize to my aunt.

The pigeon fluttered a few times and walked happily in the courtyard. It had no idea what it was that it was sending, and there was no emotion in its eyes.

In Dongdu City, Feng Hai has been recuperating at home since he was stabbed. It has been more than half a month now, and he has almost recovered. He only tells the outside world that he has just escaped from the danger and is not allowed to see anyone.

The eldest son was sent to the south of the Yangtze River by his father-in-law, while he stayed in the capital to check all the accounts of the water transportation department that had turned in official grain. He did not let go of any clues. He must find out from them the two parties united by the Weiguo government. Evidence of corruption among the governors of thirteen cities in Zhejiang Province.

Every year, he would keep a copy of the account books sent by the Water Transport Department at home for emergencies. Since he took up the post of Minister of Household Affairs, this habit has continued for nearly ten years and has never slackened. Therefore, in the study room at home, All backup ledgers are placed. When Mrs. Feng brought the food in, she saw him frowning and using red ink to circle many places on the account books.

“Master, let's eat some fruit and then watch. It's better to take good care of your health. What should you do if you're tired like this?”

Mrs. Feng couldn't help with official duties, but she took good care of his health, interrupting him every hour to let him rest.

"Madam, please stop being busy. I have eaten fruit two or three times for my husband in the past half day. If I eat more, I'm afraid I will accumulate food." Feng Hai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He knew that the madam came up with such an idea for the sake of his health, but he I really can't eat anymore.

“Hey, I'm not afraid that you will tire yourself out. I don't understand this official business, but sir, don't worry, those account books won't escape in the next few days, so you can just look around and look at them again.”

Feng Hai was helpless. His wife had already talked about this, and it was hard for him to refuse.

So he closed the account book and walked to Mrs. Feng, who actually ate the newly cooked lily soup.

 Seeing him eating with gusto, Mrs. Feng felt happy that her preparations were not in vain.

“Sir, I'll let the official business go, but I'm still worried about things at home. After the second spring, if I can go to high school, I'm thinking of going to the Xu family to propose marriage. What do you think?”

“The Xu family? The retired granddaughter from Xu Ge's hometown?”

When Mrs. Feng heard what he said, she cast a dissatisfied glance, "Does a shabby family like the Liang family deserve to marry such a good girl? That's why God ordered them to break off the engagement because they couldn't bear the dust on their pearls. I agree. I have seen him several times, and I have also been angry with my siblings. They all praise this kid so much. I am afraid that the Xu family will not look down on Xiao Er, after all, his previous reputation..."

It is not unusual for a woman who broke off her engagement in the Jin Dynasty to discuss marriage again, but it is rare for a woman to discuss engagement again so soon. Usually, they have to wait for a year and a half to wait for the limelight to pass before discussing marriage again.

Mrs. Pianfeng was afraid that Xu Mingyue would be a hot commodity, so she wanted to settle the matter after discussion, so that she could settle down early.

She doesn't care what other people think. She only knows one thing. If the Feng family can marry Xu Mingyue, it will be a high achievement.

Feng Hai didn't know much about Xu Mingyue, but he admired his grandfather very much. He came from a poor family and his wife's family was mediocre. He climbed to where he is today by his own ability. How amazing he is!

If it hadn't been for the repeated difficulties in the family and the loss of both sons, the Xu family would probably be an unparalleled and prosperous family now, and the Liang family would never agree to withdraw from this marriage even if their legs were broken!

Looking at Madam's eager eyes, he thought for a moment and said, "Since Madam likes that child, then she should interact with the Xu family more. It's just that the two children must like each other, otherwise the family will not be harmonious." No matter how good the marriage is, it's all in vain!”

"That's natural. Don't worry, sir. I'm not the kind of person who only cares about the orders of my parents and the words of matchmakers. Otherwise, how could A Xu marry Wen without me causing a huge commotion?"

Thinking of what happened in the backyard of his eldest son's family, Feng Hai couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, the dark clouds had passed and the sky was clear. It could be regarded as a disaster in their life as a couple. After passing it, they would naturally grow old together.
