Chapter 159 The Royal Family Seizes the Feng Family's Sea Area

Qin Yeting noticed that Xia Yue was watching him, but he tried to ignore it.

He was afraid that his approach would hurt Xia Yue.

But he was also worried about Xia Yue's safety.

He originally sent Shang Zexi over today to support Xia Yue.

As it turned out, that useless Shang Zexi messed up at the crucial moment and actually strained his back and ended up in the hospital.

Shen Xiangxiang also went to take care of her.

Xia Yue was all alone.

He also heard that the royal family was going to force the Feng family to sign a document today, and Qin Yeting was worried that Xia Yue would be implicated, so he made an excuse to come along.

Unexpectedly, I actually ran into Xia Yue at the scene.

Qin Yeting was glad he had come to the right place.

The scene at the Feng family's house was chaotic.

Country A is a feudal constitutional monarchy. The royal family sent a minister to negotiate with the Feng family.

"Grandma Feng, the royal family's patience is limited. All land under heaven belongs to the king. The jurisdiction over Orange Sea was granted to you by the royal family thirty years ago. Now that you want to take it back, instead of obediently handing it over, you keep making excuses. Are you planning a rebellion?"

The minister immediately showered him with compliments.

The second master of the Feng family hurriedly replied, "There is absolutely no rebellion. Please, sir, see the truth!"

Madam Feng, on the other hand, was much more assertive. She explained with neither servility nor arrogance, "The jurisdiction was indeed granted by the royal family back then, but it was also purchased by my Feng family with money. It is proven in black and white and stamped with the official seal."

For one hundred years after the signing of the agreement, the jurisdiction over that sea area belongs to the Feng family.

There are still seventy years left in the term, and the royal family can take it back just like that. All the Feng family's initial investment in construction has gone down the drain.

Our Feng family has devoted a generation of their lives to cultivating pearls in that sea area.

We've just started making a profit, and now you want to extract oil and take back that area of ​​the sea.

What about the Feng family's losses? The royal family is trying to destroy the Feng family!

"Heh, your Feng family has quite the nerve. The Second Prince rebelled, and the new emperor hasn't even settled accounts with the Feng family yet. You're not only ungrateful, but you're also thinking about your own interests. You're truly courting death." The minister's tone was sarcastic, completely disregarding Old Madam Feng.

The second prince's birth mother was Consort Feng, who was the daughter of the old lady Feng.

The new emperor forced the emperor to abdicate, the imperial concubine committed suicide, and the second prince disappeared without a trace.

Rumors circulated that the second prince had died at the hands of the new emperor, and his remains had vanished without a trace.

The Feng family and the new emperor are enemies.

Based on this alone, Madam Feng was unwilling to relinquish jurisdiction over the sea area.

"Everything has to be based on reason. The Feng family still has seventy years of jurisdiction over the sea area. They just want to do pearl business properly. Both parties have a contract, and we are just acting in accordance with the contract."

"If the new emperor insists on forcing the Feng family to sign, then first give this old woman a white silk ribbon and hang her!"

Madam Feng's voice was loud and clear.

She slammed her hand on the table and confronted the minister.

The minister was speechless for a moment, and could only glare angrily, then wink at Lord Feng.

Second Master Feng was very impatient with Old Madam Feng's words. He coldly advised, "Mother, a wise man knows when to yield. Although the Feng family has a contract, it cannot go against the royal family."

That sea area is rich in oil, so the profits from pearls are too low.

The royal family promised to give the Feng family 0.5% of their net profit, which is quite a lot.

"If you really block the road and offend the royal family, who will dare to do business with the Feng family then?"

"You got trapped by a mere 0.5% profit? Can you trust what the royal family says? They can tear up contracts whenever they want, let alone verbal promises. How could I have given birth to such an idiot like you!"

Madam Feng launched into a tirade against Second Master Feng.

Master Feng didn't care and snorted, "I'm stupid, but your grandson is smart, yet I haven't seen him help at all."

Master Feng deliberately dragged Feng Yao into the battle.

Feng Yao clenched his fists in anger and retorted angrily, "At least... I'm not as treacherous and heartless as you... cough cough..."

Feng Yao started coughing again.

Upon hearing this, Master Feng clenched his fists and said with a stern expression, "You little beast, how dare you say I'm a traitor?"

The ones who betray their own family are clearly the two daughters of the Feng family!

The fourth sister was ambitious and wanted her son to become emperor, which implicated the Feng family.

Your mother is even more stupid and despicable! Bringing back a bastard like you, you…”

"Smack!"

Before Master Feng could finish speaking, a golden needle sealed his throat, rendering him speechless.

The one who made the move was none other than Xia Yue!

Although she had never met her mother, Xia Yue couldn't ignore the insults he was giving her.

Master Feng did not expect that the divine doctor X would take action.

He felt a sharp pain in his throat from the gold needles and tried to pull them out, but found that the pain intensified as soon as he touched the needle.

"Don't move around, or you'll hurt your throat and never be able to speak again, let alone swear," Xia Yue threatened coldly.

Master Feng truly dared not move or speak rashly.

Master Feng's henchman shouted, "Who are you? How dare you interfere in the Feng family's internal affairs?"

Xia Yue was ruthless and didn't talk much. She directly used another golden needle to seal the throat of the lackey.

Everyone at the scene became wary again!

A bodyguard immediately pointed his gun at Xia Yue, but dared not fire.

Feng Yao stood in front of Xia Yue and explained to everyone, "She is the attending physician I invited, the legendary doctor X from China."

I apologize for any offense I may have caused, Second Uncle.

After saying that, Feng Yao whispered in Xia Yue's ear, "Thank you for standing up for me, but this is the Feng family after all. You should take the golden needles back quickly."
