Chapter 158 Transition

"A Jing, how did you teach Brother Mo? Before, my second brother would frown when he saw him, and occasionally show a helpless expression, but now my second brother actually shows an expression of doting. The most important thing is that my second brother has obviously softened his heart. Who knows, maybe I will have a new second brother-in-law soon."

Feng Xuanzhou pulled Nangong Jing's hand and asked curiously under Xuanyuan Xingyao's angry gaze.

As for why Feng Xuanzhou called Zhang Shumo "Brother Shumo", it was very simple. Zhang Shumo felt that they called him Master Zhang, which made him sound old.

Therefore, the Feng family made a "tough" request that the elders call him by his name, the peers call him brother, and the younger generations call him uncle.

He even said that if they didn't call him that, he would be angry. The Feng family had no choice but to do as Zhang Shumo wished.

If we talk about the person in the Feng family who has the best relationship with Zhang Shumo, it would be Feng Xuanzhou.

Feng Xuanzhou was already no stranger to Zhang Shumo as he had met him several times because of Xuanyuan Xingyao.

In addition, Feng Xuanzhou's personality is somewhat similar to Zhang Shumo's, so the two naturally get along very well.

The most important thing is that Feng Xuanzhou is also optimistic about Zhang Shumo, his future brother-in-law.

Before, whether Zhang Shumo stayed at Feng's house or pursued Feng Xuanqiao, Feng Xuanzhou had put in a lot of effort.

For this reason, when Zhang Shumo saw Feng Xuanzhou, it was no different from seeing his own brother. He was even closer to him than his junior brother Xuanyuan Xingyao.

“Is this true???”

It had been less than a week since Zhang Shumo brought Feng Xuanqiao into the palace, and he had already captured Feng Xuanqiao?

"Of course it's true. Before, my second brother would avoid Shumo whenever he saw him, but now Shumo is deliberately approaching him, and my second brother doesn't even try to avoid him. I was curious and asked why my second brother's attitude had changed so much, and Shumo said that you taught him. Tell me quickly, how did you teach Shumo? I want to learn from you so that I can pursue someone I like in the future."

"You can talk, but take your hands off me."

Xuanyuan Xingyao endured for a long time, but couldn't bear it anymore, so he stepped forward and pulled Feng Xuanzhou's hand away.

Feng Xuanzhou looked at Xuanyuan Xingyao's gloomy face. Instead of being afraid, he joked with a smile.

"Xuanyuan, you're becoming more and more petty. The three of us grew up together, and there's no part of Ajing that I haven't touched. Is it really that serious?"

Feng Xuanzhou said this, but still withdrew his hand.

It's okay to tease him a little, but if he teased him too much, Xuanyuan Xingyao would get angry and Feng Xuanzhou wouldn't be able to stop him.

"Xuan Zhou, stop teasing A Yao. Actually, I didn't teach Senior Brother anything. I just talked to him about what was bothering Brother Xuan Qiao. The reason they both made such rapid progress is, firstly, that Brother Xuan Qiao already had Senior Brother in his heart, and secondly, that Senior Brother realized his previous wrong attitude and made changes."

Feng Xuanzhou showed disappointment when he heard this. He thought Nangong Jing had some secret method to pursue people.

"You're so disappointed, why are you finally ready to take action?"

Nangong Jing knew that Feng Xuanzhou had liked the young lady of the Ouyang family for several years, but had never dared to pursue her for some reasons. Was he finally unable to hold back?

The smile on Feng Xuanzhou's face disappeared instantly when he heard this, and a hint of loneliness and sadness appeared in his eyes.

Seeing Feng Xuanzhou like this, Nangong Jing lost his smile, and Xuanyuan Xingyao also looked at Feng Xuanzhou with a worried look.

"She's getting engaged to her cousin. It's great. They grew up together as childhood sweethearts and have a deep bond. They'll definitely live a very happy life in the future."

Feng Xuanzhou had long known that it was impossible for him and Ouyang Qingqing to be together, and he had never expected that they could be together. But when he really knew that Ouyang Qingqing was going to get engaged, Feng Xuanzhou still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Don't you want to give it a try?"

When Nangong Jing heard that Ouyang Qingqing was going to get engaged, and then looked at Feng Xuanzhou's desperate look, he felt really disappointed in him.

Everyone else is about to get engaged, but Feng Xuanzhou hasn't even opened his mouth to express his love. I really don't know what to say.

"When you were trying to persuade Xiao Jing and me, you made so much sense. Why am I the only one who doesn't seem to understand now that it's my turn?"

Xuanyuan Xingyao also scolded Feng Xuanzhou.

"It's not that I don't want to open my eyes, but it's simply impossible for our two families to marry. Before my father became successful, he was bullied and oppressed by the Ouyang family. Although my father later fought back, the two families were completely at odds with each other."

Would Feng Xuanzhou be willing to watch his beloved marry someone else? Of course not.

But what can you do even if you don't want to? The grudge between the two families cannot be truly let go without just saying it.

To take a step back, if the Left Prime Minister is willing to put aside his grudges and allow Ouyang Qingqing to join the family, does that mean he really has no grudges at all?

And can other people in the family really accept Ouyang Qingqing completely?

As for the Ouyang family, although the Ouyang family has shown signs of submission since Feng's father became the Left Prime Minister, is it true that after all these years of fighting, the Ouyang family really has no anger in their hearts?

Although Feng Xuanzhou didn't want to think too badly of others, what if, what if something happened to the Feng family one day, would the Ouyang family really not take advantage of the situation?

Maybe you will say that Feng Xuanzhou is thinking too much. As long as Xuanyuan Xingyao is there, the Feng family will never fall, and the things he imagined will never happen.

But for some things, Feng Xuanzhou would rather think more about them than wait until that day really comes and fall into an embarrassing situation.

And even if Ouyang Qingqing really married into the Feng family, it would definitely be awkward for her to get along with other members of the Feng family.

The most important thing is that Feng Xuanzhou knows that Ouyang Qingqing has no interest in him. As long as Ouyang Qingqing has a little affection for him, Feng Xuanzhou is willing to try once.

It's a pity that Ouyang Qingqing has never liked him. If that's the case, why should he force her from a smooth and easy path to another thorny one?

After listening to Feng Xuanzhou's words, Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing realized that there was such a grudge between the Ouyang family and the Feng family.

If it is true as Feng Xuanzhou said, then he and Ouyang Qingqing are indeed not suitable for each other.

Because of Feng Xuanzhou, the three of them no longer had the mood to joke.

Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing silently accompanied Feng Xuanzhou until he got drunk.

When they met again the next day, Feng Xuanzhou had recovered his spirits, but Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing, who knew him well, could see the fatigue and sadness deep in his eyes.

However, Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing believed that as long as Feng Xuanzhou was given time, he would slowly come over.

Ever since Xuanyuan Hongtai tacitly acknowledged the relationship between Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing.

Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing no longer had any scruples between them, and they were almost always sticking together in public and behind people's backs. Now everyone in the imperial capital knew that Prince Han Xi and the youngest son of Duke Wuling were together.

There are all kinds of opinions about this. Some say that the two are very compatible, while others say that since they are so talented, they should get married and have children to pass on their talents.

There were also many people who brought up the previous marriage between Xuanyuan Xingyao and Zhuge Wan'er.

Some people even compare Zhuge Wan'er and Nangong Jing.

The final conclusion is that except for being a man and unable to have children, Nangong Jing is much better than Zhuge Wan'er in all other aspects.

These news inevitably reached Zhuge Wan'er's ears. Zhuge Wan'er was naturally very angry and had a tantrum in the room.

Lord Zhuge and Madam Zhuge were both anxious and angry. Of course, their anger was not directed at Zhuge Wan'er, but at Nangong Jing.

Although Nangong Jing knew that he would inevitably run into Zhuge Wan'er as long as he was in the imperial capital, he still felt a little embarrassed when they really met.

Although he knew that it was Xuanyuan Hongtai who made the decision privately, Nangong Jing still felt somewhat unhappy with the person who had once been Xuanyuan Xingyao's fiancée.

Also, the marriage was granted and then cancelled, even though everyone knew what happened, it still had some impact on Zhuge Wan'er's reputation.

Therefore, in addition to being unhappy, Nangong Jing also felt a bit guilty, which led to Nangong Jing's complicated feelings towards Zhuge Wan'er.

"Why are you standing here all of a sudden instead of coming in?"

Xuanyuan Xingyao waited for Nangong Jing in the hall for a long time, so he came out to take a look. He saw Nangong Jing standing outside the hall. Not knowing what he saw, he walked forward and asked with some concern.

"I just saw Zhuge Wan'er."

These few short words made Xuanyuan Xingyao instantly understand why Nangong Jing had such a complicated expression just now.

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet. Putting aside the fact that Lord Zhuge is the Minister of Revenue and therefore worthy of attending the banquet, let's just say that Zhuge Wan'er is a county lady, and therefore worthy of entering the palace. Just pretend you didn't see it. Father has already compensated her, and we never owe her anything."

Xuanyuan Xingyao took Nangong Jing's hand, turned around and slowly walked into the hall.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Jing put away his complicated thoughts and obediently followed Xuanyuan Xingyao to his seat and sat down.

Some time ago, the conversation between Xuanyuan Xingyao, Nangong Jing and Zhuge Wan'er gave many people a lot to talk about.

Today, the three of them appeared in one occasion, and many people subconsciously looked at them.

Compared to the calmness of Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing, Zhuge Wan'er was obviously more impatient.

She was originally smiling, but under everyone's gaze, her smile slowly faded and her expression began to look a little ugly.

Madam Zhuge noticed the change in Zhuge Wan'er's expression, secretly pulled her sleeve, and spoke softly.

"There are so many people watching, don't look so gloomy."

"Mom, are they all laughing at me?"

No matter what banquet Zhuge Wan'er attended recently, there would always be people who openly praised her or secretly criticized her. They said they envied her for getting the position of county lady, but actually they were mocking her for being inferior to a man.

After being ridiculed several times, Zhuge Wan'er became more and more reluctant to go out. In addition, the people sent by Xuanyuan Xi would say some ambiguous words in Zhuge Wan'er's ears from time to time, making Zhuge Wan'er's temperament more extreme.

"Wan'er, don't think too much. No one will laugh at you. But if you keep looking so gloomy, people will really laugh at you."

Madam Zhuge said earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Wan'er immediately put on a fake smile again. She absolutely did not want to be laughed at.

Zhuge Wan'er told herself to be patient a little longer. As long as tonight was over, no one would laugh at her anymore. Everyone would laugh at Nangong Jing.

She, Zhuge Wan'er, is the final winner. Author's words: Thank you Bole 9492239 (9492239) for your support, mua! To know more exciting content, please leave me a message on Liancheng Reading
