Chapter 98

  Due to Wen Xiang's behavior in the Wen family's courtyard, Zhan Zhao had some hidden worries in his heart, so he didn't dare to leave Bao Zheng's side for a moment, and naturally, he also didn't have time to go and see how things were progressing on his wife's side.

  Judging from the current situation, Master Pong doesn't seem to have any other reaction, so it should be no big deal.

  "What is Zhāng Huìwèi thinking?"

  "Mr. Gong Sun, Zhan Mou didn't think of anything."

  Gongsun Ce stroked his mustache and smiled, "I wonder how Lu Niang is doing in the Pang Manor?"

  Zhan Zhao saw that he couldn't deceive him, so he also tacitly agreed.

  "In my opinion, there's no need for Zhen to worry. Just look at how Master Pang has been acting these past few days and you'll know that Lu Niang must have already convinced him to accept this fait accompli."

  "Is it going to be that simple?" Zhan Zhao still had some worries.

  "Of course it won't be that simple."

  Zhan Zhao: "......" Mr. Gong Sun, are you kidding me?

  Gongsun Ce stroked his beard and smiled, saying: "If you want to make Master Pong accept this fact so simply, it must not be something that can be achieved easily. I'm afraid Miss Lu has used some extraordinary methods."

  "What kind of law is this?"

  "Right."

  "Mr. Gong Sun?" Your eyes have something strange in them.

  Gongsun Ce said: "But don't worry, after all, there's still Lu Niang helping you out."

  Zhan Zhao: Why does it feel strange?

  Gongsun Ce smiled and turned to leave, when Zhan Huwei was with Lu Niang, their roles were often reversed. The Southern Knight's Cat, who normally wielded a sword to protect others, would often be protected by Lu Niang instead.

  It's really funny when I think about it, haha.

  Zhan Zhao slightly shook his head with a helpless expression, always feeling that since he married Xiao Feng, people would occasionally tease him.

  I don't know how she is doing now either?

  Xie Zhaolifted his head to gaze at the bright moon in the sky, his emotions somewhat complicated.

  Although they are both in Kaifeng and under the same bright moon, they are separated by distance, a husband and wife unable to reunite for the time being.

  In the same moonlit night, in the warm house of the Taishi Mansion, Little Phoenix had finished washing up and was practicing calligraphy under the lamp.

  At the halfway point, she suddenly thought of something - originally, the plot seemed to be that Wen Xin would eventually marry Shi Fengying and have children.

  Now, because her butterfly wings flapped and flapped, Wen Xin and Shi Fengying seemed to have become a couple, so where will this plot go in the end?

  What the heck!

  What's going on with this completely chaotic plot?

  Will the idol be okay? Will her kitten at home be okay too?

  The little servant girl with a bright lamp in her hand walked over from one side and said anxiously: "Miss, what's wrong?"

  Lu Xiaofeng put down the pen in his hand, sat back in his chair with a slightly worried look on his face, propping up his cheek with one hand, and said nothing.

  "Miss——"

  "Xiaohe, I want to think about something."

  Then Xiao He fell silent, Miss thinks about problems when she needs to keep quiet and can't be disturbed.

  If Bai Xiaowu were here, it would be convenient to pass on a message, but unfortunately Wu Muzi had already left with Beixiaoyang Chun after the matter of Zhou was settled and did not accompany her into the capital.

  Although Tai Shifu acknowledged Xian Xiaomao as his son-in-law, he was filled with resentment. Now, he strictly forbids her from contacting or meeting Xian Xiaomao. It's likely that before the marriage is finalized, the couple won't have any hope of secretly seeing each other.

  Can't go see idols and exhibit little cats, then change direction - directly pay attention to Wen Xin isn't it?

  Thinking of this, Lu Xiaofeng's face couldn't help but reveal a smile, and asking Taishi about Wenxin's news shouldn't make the old man unhappy.

  If it doesn't work out, there's still Pang Yu available.

  If nothing else works, Zhao Qiu Jie from Jing Shan Wang Fu can also be used.

  It's settled then!

  At a glance at Miss's expression, Xiao He knew that Miss was probably already taken, and couldn't help but also put on a smile.

  Things turned out to be just as Xiaofeng had expected. When she asked Tai Shifu about the current situation with Wenxin, Tai Shifu was in a very good mood and told her everything clearly, even adding his own conjectures and reasoning at the end.

  "I think Wen Xin is now definitely hiding in the dark wanting to deal with Bao Hei Zi, but I don't know if he can succeed."

  It's definitely going to fail!

  Xiao Feng thought to herself that she had a certain degree of appreciation for Tai Shifu's carefree and cheerful state of mind. Just because of Tai Shifu's repeated defeats, yet still fighting spirit, she felt it was also worthy of praise.

  At least, Tai Shifu did things from start to finish, consistently playing the role of a villain throughout the play, tirelessly opposing his idol and pouring his heart into portraying the bad guy's character perfectly.

  Black line!

  Tai Shifu is indeed a tragic character with comedic effects.

  "Are you worried about Kaifeng?" Pang Taishi suddenly came back to his senses.

  "No, Father doesn't know," Lu Xiaofeng said calmly. "At that time in Huzhou, apart from Wen Li's attempt to abduct my daughter, Wen Xin also had ill intentions towards her on their wedding night, fortunately Xianzhao was by their side at the time."

  Pang Taishi slammed his fist on the table and shouted: "Wenjia!"

  Although Mrs. Wen had been the wet nurse of the emperor, and the Wen family's case was pardoned by the Eighth Prince, his daughter still had some resentment towards Wen Xin.

  This is necessary!

  "So, asking Dad about his news is just to confirm how unlucky he has been, so that the daughter's heart can be at ease."

  Pang Taishi nodded, "You're right, seeing him down on his luck would indeed make us feel much more at ease."

  Passed!

  "He's just harmed Bao Heizi, as his father, he will definitely be convicted of the crime of harming a high-ranking official of the court, and when the time comes... Hmph."

  Heavens and earth, Master Taishan, what kind of deep-seated feud did you have with her family's idol in a past life?

  "So, we must closely follow Wenxin's movements."

  "I'll take care of this matter as your father, you don't need to worry, just stay at home and rest."

  "Yes."

  What's the point of staying at home?

  Little Phoenix Maiden is slightly helpless - preparing to marry again!

  Madam Pang almost turned the treasure house of the Pong family upside down, for fear that her precious daughter would be wronged.

  "But mother, we are taking in a son-in-law, which means that the dowry and all should still be placed in the mansion. You're moving it out now, only to put it back later, what's the point of that?"

  Pang Yu spat out the tea in his mouth while drinking tea, and San Jie said that it was simply impossible to be more correct. I don't know what Mother is busy with.

  "You little girl..." Mrs. Pang was also amused by her daughter, "However, we still need to bring some things to decorate the new house."

  "Oh."

  "Look at you, because you want to keep the news secret, we can't hold a grand wedding ceremony either, and we won't invite unrelated guests. It's already an inconvenience for you. As for the dowry, Mother naturally wouldn't let you be inconvenienced again."

  "With father and mother's pampering, I don't feel wronged at all."

  Madam Pang's whole heart was warmed by this sentence.

  At the time when Little Phoenix was being coquettish and selling cute in Tai Shifu's mansion, Zhan Zhao was fighting with Wen Xin who had reappeared to ambush Bao Da Ren's sedan.

  "Wenxin, with Zhaoyang here, you dare not think of harming Master."

  "Bao Zheng has ruined the entire Wen family; how could I let him off easily?"

  "Governor Bao has let you off many times, but you still don't know what's good for you. This is simply unreasonable."

  "Good intentions don't need packaging."

  ……

  In the end, Wenxin was taken down by Zhan Zhao once again.

  "Caught?" This was Lu Xiaofeng's reaction when he heard the news.

  "Yes, I was caught by my brother-in-law and am now imprisoned in the Kaifeng Prefecture jail."

  Lu Xiaofeng hesitated slightly, unfortunately, his idol still remembered that Wen's ancestors were the founding pioneers and wanted to leave a way out for Wen Xin. However, Wen Xin was now blinded by hatred and might not appreciate the idol's kind intentions.

  At this time, Bao Zheng also entered the prison in the government office.

  Na Wenxin still had a resentful look on his face. Seeing Bao Zheng walking towards him, he jumped up from the prison cell.

  "Letter of Faith."

  Bao Zheng.

  "You are so unrepentant and stubbornly going your own way, is it that you want to completely destroy the literary legacy of our family?"

  "It's clear who's in the right and wrong, you killed my brother and caused my mother's death, how can I not avenge them?"

  "To establish great righteousness, one must first clarify right and wrong."

  If it is to assist the wicked and bully, or only for personal gain, disregarding national law and justice, even if he speaks of loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, and bravery, willing to die for it, it is nothing but a strong argument, petty courage, and has nothing to do with great benevolence, great filial piety, utmost emotion, and utmost nature.

  Wen Xin, search your heart and ask yourself, are the actions of the Wen family in Huzhou upright and transparent, without shame or guilt?

  When Wen Xiang was questioned by Bao Zheng, he pretended to be deaf and dumb due to their familial relationship, and did not dare to speak about the wrongdoings of the Wen family in Huzhou.

  "In order to preserve your family's reputation, our government also entrusted Lu Niang to persuade your mother not to make the trip to Beijing, but unfortunately, Madam Wen still insisted on going and ultimately lost her life here." By this point, Bao Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

  Wen Xian thought of the scene when Lu Niang came to Wen's house that day. When he returned home, his mother and she must have had a conversation, which was probably about Bao Zheng's request. Unfortunately, in the end, his mother did not listen to her advice and still insisted on going to the capital to file a complaint.

  No!

  Wen Xin suddenly grasped the bars excitedly, "Bao Daren, why do you still call her 'young lady'? She's already married!"

  Bao Zheng was taken aback, "The yamen must have been in the habit of addressing her as such."

  Wen Xing's eyes sparkled as she looked at Zhan Zhao behind Bao Gong, "Is your marriage a fake?" It must be so.

  Zhan Zhao broke his hopes mercilessly, "She is indeed Zhan's wife, there's no need for you to doubt it, Wen Si Gongzi."

  Wen Xin's expression turned gloomy, and he muttered to himself: "It's true, she didn't marry you, and she also doesn't pretend to be polite to me." She was disdainful of everything the Wen family did and said, and because of this surname "Wen", he too was disliked by her.

  Wen's family is indeed early without clear reputation...

  His three elder brothers wanted to maintain the reputation of their ancestors, but in the end they were just maintaining their last support. Because of the residual prestige of their ancestors, they could live without labor and enjoy preferential treatment, and bask in imperial grace forever.

  For a moment, Wen Xin thought of many things, and finally, he slowly walked back to the corner of his cell, sat down, lowered his head, and remained silent.

  Bao Gong did not look at each other.

  Then Bao Zheng and others understood what was going on, didn't say anything else and turned around to leave.

  Whether or not to take it seriously is sometimes just a matter of a thought. Wen Xin probably suddenly realized something, which is why he was in such a state.

  "Is that so? Has the imperial yellow dragon robe really been retrieved?" Meanwhile, Little Phoenix was astonished and delighted by the news brought by Duke Anle.

  Pang Yu said: "Yes, it was the Eighth Wise King who took charge of retrieving it."

  Lu Xiaofeng nodded in understanding, that the Huang Longjia was bestowed by the emperor back then, and it's only natural for the legitimate descendants to take it back. It must be the matter of the Wen family that enraged Emperor Yizong, and to avoid tarnishing the reputation of the late emperor, he made this decision.

  Great!

  Destroy one of these things and the Wen family will have one less thing to rely on, and also avoid future generations from behaving recklessly with it.

  Isn't Old Lady Wen just indulging her son because of all the imperial gifts the Wen family has received?

  The emperor bestowed a self-portrait, the emperor personally inscribed the plaque, the emperor bestowed a yellow dragon robe, the emperor bestowed a dragon-head cane... In short, this family of scholars is not lacking in imperial gifts, this is awesome.

  It's just too awesome, thinking that one can be fearless and invincible will ultimately lead to one's own downfall.

  It is indeed true that when God wants to destroy someone, he will first make him go mad.

  Suddenly, Little Phoenix thought of herself.

  She also has quite a few things given by the emperor.

  The golden plaque bestowed with the title of "Divine Judgment of Phoenix", which can be used to commute sentences and exercise judicial authority, the title of Imperial Sister, and a fish gut sword bestowed by the Emperor...

  So cool!

  I feel like she's also on the road to being cannon fodder, running wildly and recklessly.

  Is it destined for people with surname Pang to be cannon fodder?

  What's going on here?

  Don't play with her like this...
