Chapter 569: Indeed a Mess

Feng Sanniang's face turned black, and she shouted angrily, "What is the meaning of this? I, Feng Sanniang, am still the head of the Feng Family, am I not?"

Liu Dahao only chuckled to the side, noncommittal.

This group of people from the Feng Family had already all stood on Feng Fan's side; hearing Feng Sanniang's words, not one of them made a sound, only lowering their heads.

The meaning was already very clear!

They all supported Feng Fan's decision not to let Feng Sanniang and Liu Dahao stay here!

"Sanniang, Lao Sansi is not wrong... You must think of our entire family. The current situation in Jinghua is murky and confusing... For the sake of family stability, wouldn't it be better for you to go to the Post House arranged by the imperial court first?"

"That's right, Aunt..."

"You should leave first..."

Feng Sanniang was furious.

How long had she been away from the Feng Family, and the Feng Family had already changed? She looked suddenly at Feng Fan, unable to contain her rage: "It was you..."

Feng Fan laughed heartily, simply tearing off the mask, and smiled coldly: "Third Sister, at a time like this in Jinghua, choosing a side is very important... Even His Highness the Crown Prince knows that having no faults is a merit, let alone our Feng Family?"

He gave a cold snort: "That good son of yours forced the Third Prince to his death and confronted the Crown Prince. Our Feng Family intends to invoke family law and elect a new Chief Manager! Third Sister, a married daughter is, after all, like spilled water..."

Boom!

Feng Sanniang felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her expression changing drastically.

She looked at those relatives again.

Everyone was looking down.

No one stood up to speak for her.

When people leave, the tea goes cold?

Is this the fickleness of the world?

The Feng Family was once incredibly desolate, and she had saved it single-handedly. Now that the Feng Family was at its zenith, they wanted to drive her away to seize the family property?

Feng Sanniang suddenly laughed aloud: "Good, good, good. So you had all agreed on this long ago; today is to embarrass the two of us, isn't it?"

"Fine!"

She gritted her teeth: "If this is the extent of your character, then take this Fengxing Escort Agency!"

Feng Fan was overjoyed to hear this: "Third Sister, don't go back on your word!"

Feng Sanniang's heart was already ashen, and she sneered: "It is you who should be worried about going back on your word. Let us wait and see!"

After saying this, she turned and left.

Liu Dahao hurriedly followed behind her, fawning: "My lady, my lady, why go to such lengths? A bunch of people with no vision—you are right, a broken escort agency, let's not have it!"

Feng Sanniang gave a bitter smile: "It's not about an escort agency... Forget it, I won't say more. Dahao, I have wronged you..."

Liu Dahao quickly straightened his back: "No, no, your husband is, after all, a Western Regions Commissioner; would I lower myself to the level of these short-sighted people?"

Only then did Feng Sanniang smile, holding Liu Dahao's hand back and nodding.

This day.

The Western Regions Commissioner and Prefectural Governor of Liangzhou, Liu Dahao and his wife, were actually swept out of the house by the Feng Family.

This matter soon became the laughingstock of all Jinghua.

Liu Dahao naturally did not care.

"Fourth, is this really okay?"

Watching Feng Sanniang being driven away by the Feng Family, the eldest brother said with a worried face.

Feng Fan laughed heartily: "Big Brother, what is there to fear? Now our Feng Family has a backer too!"

He said proudly: "The Beijing Commissioner is a man of the Crown Prince! Big Brother, at a time like this, we cannot be soft-hearted. Otherwise, would we really let that boy surnamed Liu take such a large portion of our Feng Family's assets?"

The group of people listened and hurriedly chimed in.

"Sigh, alright..."

The eldest brother sighed.

Feng Fan and Feng Kai could not help but look at each other and laugh.

Shen Manqing.

This familiar voice still made Liu Zheng's heart flutter. He turned around, and sure enough, Shen Manqing, dressed like a fairy, stood gracefully, looking at Liu Zheng with a faint smile.

This number one zither player of Longyan had become even more beautiful.

Wherever she went, there were always admirers fawning over her.

This time was naturally no exception. With her peerless beauty, she was surrounded by many young men in fine clothes, yet in Shen Manqing's eyes at this moment, there was only the newly arrived Liu Zheng.

She smiled softly, like a begonia flower in bloom.

"Manqing..."

Liu Zheng also smiled.

It had been a long time; he had missed her dearly.

The two had been confidants since Yinzhou, and later she became his woman.

This fairy-like woman had never asked him for any status.

She was a woman who made Liu Zheng's heart ache.

"Young Master..."

"Manqing..."

"Young Master..."

The two just stood there, one calling out, the other responding.

The lingering gaze between them in the air left the bystanders stunned.

"Ah!"

"He is Prefect Liu!"

"What? Prefect Liu?"

One person suddenly reacted, and the entire scene erupted in chaos.

Those fellows who had just been fawning over Shen Manqing looked over with tiger-like glares, their eyes full of hostility.

Gu Jin, the granddaughter of the Minister of Rites, was also stunned.

Goodness...

This is the Prefect Liu that her sister Manqing has been longing for day and night?

She had just used a whip and almost struck Prefect Liu in the face?

She had just made him move two horse carriages full of lanterns?

It's just that...

This guy doesn't look like much!

What virtue or ability does he have to make sister Manqing lose her appetite and toss and turn in bed?

Just him?

He kissed the Princess?

Scum!

Scum!

At this, the horse whip in Gu Jin's hand began to tremble uncontrollably again...

Liu Zheng chuckled, cupped his hands, and said, "I am indeed Liu Zheng. This young lady, Chen Lao asked me to come over and help. This... should these lanterns still be moved?"

Deng Wenhui hurriedly introduced from the side, "Lord Liu, this is the granddaughter of the current Minister of Rites, Miss Gu Jin... um, she is the GeneralDirector of this Birthday Ceremony."

Oh?

GeneralDirector?

Liu Zheng chuckled; he couldn't tell.

Gu Jin snorted coldly, her eyes full of arrogance, and feigned a mature tone, "So that's how it is, so that's how it is, heh, a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..."

Whether it is a Prefect or an Imperial Reader, both are legitimate fifth-rank officials.

It should never be his turn to move lanterns.

No!

Gu Jin suddenly realized that although she was sent by the Ministry of Rites, she held no official position herself; among all the staff preparing for the ceremony, wouldn't this kid be the highest-ranking official?

She couldn't help but look at Liu Zheng with caution, "Prefect Liu, are you here to..."

Liu Zheng chuckled, "Chen Lao said that there is great external pressure for this year's ceremony, and since the Emperor happens to be a man who cares about face and does not want to lose in any aspect, he asked me to come and see how the formation is. To see if it can handle the challenges of those barbarians. Seeing it today..."

Gu Jin smiled triumphantly, full of confidence, "What does Prefect Liu think?"

Liu Zheng laughed loudly, "Truly, a complete mess!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole crowd was in an uproar.

"Presumptuous!"

"How dare you..."

"You, you, you..."

A group of people exploded in anger.

Gu Jin's horse whip couldn't help but be raised again.
