Chapter 213 Banquet

Lin Xi stared at Feng Miao as she finished all this.

Feng Miao killed someone in front of her. Did she witness the murder scene?

Lin Xi didn't dare to think about it too much. Feng Miao walked over from a distance and looked at Lin Xi.

After years of training, Feng Miao was extremely sensitive to people's emotions. Thinking of what her young master had told her before, she rarely spoke, "Madam, those two just came for us. If we let them take advantage of the opportunity today, either we die or they die."

Lin Xi is not a child, so he can naturally understand what Feng Miao means.

But deep down, she was a person who grew up with modern education, so when she was suddenly faced with such a thing, it was difficult for her to accept it for a while.

"Young Madam," Feng Miao said, "It's getting late, we should come back as soon as possible."

Lin Xi nodded, "Let's go."

After the two came back, Dugu Xin didn't notice anything unusual and introduced them to Lin Xi as usual.

But Lin Xi was conflicted and made the excuse that she was tired and went back to Yongcheng first.

Because it will take some time to transfer the land deed, Lin Xi needs to stay in Yongcheng for two more days.

Feng family.

"A day has passed, and there is still no news?" Feng Ting couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. "Didn't you say before that the woman was going to go out with Dugu Xin today? Now they are both back in one piece. Where are our people?"

The servant was trembling with fear. How could he know where the person had gone? He could only say, "I find it strange too. I will go and find out right away."

Feng Ting glared at him and said, "Then why are you still standing there? Go quickly!"

After a while, the servant stood at the door, hesitating, as if he didn't dare to go in.

Feng Ting was getting impatient waiting inside, so he walked out the door and saw the boy standing there without moving. He immediately yelled, "What are you doing standing here, basking in the sun?"

The servant knelt down quickly, extremely terrified, "Sir, the secret guards just sent out news that the two people we sent out today are dead."

After saying that, the servant lowered his head, not daring to look at Feng Ting's expression.

Feng Ting just felt a buzzing in his head. What does death mean?

"Two people can't deal with a woman?" Feng Ting couldn't believe it.

The servant was terrified and kowtowed, "Master, the master knows about this matter."

Feng Ting: “…”

His father knows? This is troublesome.

"The master said... please go to the study..." The servant took a lot of effort to say this.

Feng Ting was extremely annoyed. He got mad at the sight of the servant's appearance and kicked him on the shoulder. The servant fell to the ground with a look of pain on his face.

Feng Ting turned a blind eye and walked straight past. He should be the one having the most headache now.

Passing through the back garden, Feng Ting came to Mr. Feng’s study.

The door was ajar. Feng Ting shouted "Dad" at the door. Suddenly, a bamboo slip was thrown out from inside, and it hit Lin Xi on the forehead.

Feng Ting covered his head, feeling extremely unhappy, but he dared not say anything to his father.

"Rebellious son, who gave you the courage to instruct the secret guards? Now look what happened, two of them were killed in one go! Do you know how much we lost this time?" Old Master Feng sat on the chair, furious.

They were a small family and it cost them a lot of money to train these secret guards.

Secret guards are used at critical moments, but this kid just casually killed two of them!

"Dad, I was wrong." Feng Ting knelt outside the door respectfully and said.

Master Feng said, "Let me ask you, who exactly are you trying to deal with?"

Feng Ting was speechless for a moment. If he really wanted to know Lin Xi's identity, he really didn't know.

Master Feng was even more angry, "You don't even know the other person's identity, and you still want to cause trouble for him, how stupid!"

…

After returning to the Dugu family, Lin Xi and Feng Miao kept silent about what happened in the woods today.

This matter has nothing to do with the Dugu family, and the other party is obviously targeting him.

"Madam Linglong, you helped me find the mutton-fat warm jade this time. My mother and I want to hold a banquet to thank you." Dugu Xin said.

Lin Xi didn't want to go through so much trouble, "I'm not helping you for free, it's just business."

Dugu Xin said, "Since Madam said so, we should have this meal together. Business partners always need to keep in touch with each other."

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Lin Xi had no choice but to agree.

At first, Lin Xi thought that what Dugu Xin meant by a banquet was just a meal for the family to celebrate.

But when he walked to the back garden, he found that tables were set up everywhere in the yard, and everyone in the mansion was busy.

People came over one table after another. Even if the Dugu family was big, there shouldn't be so many people.

It was not until Dugu Xin began to introduce other businessmen to her that Lin Xi realized that the participants in this banquet covered almost all the important figures in Yongcheng.

Lin Xi really regretted agreeing to Dugu Xin's request. Who knew so many people would come.

Feng Miao has always been a loner, so she felt a little uncomfortable seeing so many people suddenly.

Dugu Xin smiled and said, "There are indeed a lot of people here today. Madam, why don't you go inside and talk to your mother to avoid being tired outside."

"Well... okay." Lin Xi felt that Dugu Xin was considerate. Although she was not a socially anxious person, it was really tiring to deal with so many strangers at once.

Lin Xi felt much better after chatting with Madam Dugu in the house.

At dusk, the banquet began.

Dugu Xin stood in the middle of the pavilion and said to everyone, "The main reason I invited everyone here today is because I recently got a piece of mutton-fat warm jade, which is very beneficial to my mother's health. And the person who helped me get this jade is the one next to me."

Because of Lin Xi's previous request, Dugu Xin did not directly mention the title of Madam Linglong.

Everyone tacitly agreed not to ask any questions and congratulated together.

Madam Dugu took Lin Xi's hand and said, "From now on, you will be our family's benefactor. If there is anything you need help with, just tell Xin'er. Don't be polite."

Dugu Xin also said, "Yes, as long as my Dugu family can do it, I will never refuse!"

Lin Xi smiled and nodded, "In that case, thank you very much."

"What are you talking about? We should thank you very much." Mrs. Dugu said quickly.

Madam Linglong not only helped them get the warm jade, but also spent only ten taels of silver.

For Dugu Xin, it would be great to take this opportunity to strike a blow against the Feng family.

The atmosphere in the Dugu family was very lively, while the Feng family was in a low mood.

Feng Ting hurriedly found Master Feng and said excitedly, "Dad, I found out who that woman is. She is very famous in Xucheng. Her name is Madam Linglong."

Mr. Feng was stunned. He had never heard of Madam Linglong.

"What business are you in?" asked Mr. Feng.

"Speaking of which, they are a bit similar to the Dugu family, they also have coal mines." Feng Ting said, "I heard that her vision is very accurate, but there is no backing behind her, and she has always been alone."
