Chapter 402 Past Events
The people who were talking over there also stopped. Upon hearing this, Old Master Feng turned around and looked over with a smiling look, "Mr. Feng, have you met me?"
Zhu Mingqing now realized what was wrong with Luo Tingshan. From the moment Old Master Feng appeared, the aura around him solidified, as if he was covered in a thick layer of armor, sealing himself off.
Luo Tingshan twitched his lips, his voice still indifferent: "Twenty years ago, I had the honor of meeting Elder Feng."
Old Master Feng stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Is that so? It seems we are destined to meet today. How about this, I will be the host, and today's lunch will be..."
"No need." Luo Tingshan didn't give the other party any face and looked directly at Zhu Mingqing: "We've discussed it. Let's go back. I feel a little unwell."
Zhu Mingqing looked at Old Master Feng's stiff cheeks, then at Luo Tingshan who was staring at him motionlessly, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Is this a holiday?
Old Master Feng actually asked directly, "Young friend Feng, could it be that I offended you twenty years ago?"
Zhu Mingqing was really surprised by his straightforward and generous character. After all, in the previous conversation, every word he said was bewitching, and his whole body exuded the temperament of a businessman pursuing profit.
He was still waiting for Luo Tingshan's reply, but he didn't expect that the other party would just turn the wheelchair around and pull Zhu Mingqing away.
Zhu Mingqing had never seen such a shameless Luo Tingshan before, so he hurriedly smiled at the two masters, Lin Feng, said a few words of apology and goodbye, and left with his men.
The door was slammed shut.
Old Master Feng was humiliated, his face flushed red, and he pointed in the direction of the door in anger: "How unreasonable!"
Master Lin patted his arm to comfort him, "It's their loss if they don't eat it, let's do it!"
Feng Shao admired Brother Feng very much, as he dared to be rude to his grandfather. You know, his grandfather always said what he meant, and they dared not even breathe a word at home.
After returning to the upstairs room, Zhu Mingqing sat on the embroidered cushion and looked at Luo Tingshan, who was drinking tea by the window. He frowned and said, "Something's wrong. What is your relationship with the Feng family?"
Wait, Feng, Feng...
Could it be that...
Zhu Mingqing's eyes widened: "Relatives?"
Luo Tingshan glanced sideways. He had known for a long time that she was intelligent, but he didn't expect that she would notice something after just a brief glance.
"My mother's surname is Feng!"
Zhu Mingqing’s eyes widened. Could it be such a coincidence?
"So your relationship..." she asked tentatively, "is it very bad?"
Luo Tingshan's eyes rarely showed a look of confusion, and he recalled the scenes of his childhood.
When he was seven years old, his grandfather came to Prince Luo's Mansion. He was very happy to go out to greet him, but what he saw was his grandfather and father arguing with each other. Before leaving, he glared at him angrily. That look of hatred has been unforgettable to this day.
When he grew up, he also visited the Feng family.
But every time he is not welcomed by the other party.
Apart from just now, the last time we met was before we got married, when we were fifteen years old.
Later, due to frequent wars on the border, he never came to Yangzhou again.
He also gradually learned that his father and grandfather were once close friends. Later, when his father went to the Feng Mansion, he and the only legitimate daughter of the Feng family fell in love with each other.
My mother refused to marry anyone other than my father, and their relationship became very strained.
But his mother died when he gave birth to him, and his grandfather did not like his father, so of course he also did not like him, the child who killed his mother.
But when the Feng family was in trouble, my father did not stand idly by and even purchased medicinal materials for the army through the Feng family.
If he had not investigated the Jiaoshan incident, he would have found out that his second and fourth uncles had long been involved with the third prince, and had sold inferior medicinal materials to the army, causing the deaths of many soldiers. He would probably have been kept in the dark until now.
Zhu Mingqing listened to what Luo Tingshan said, his brow furrowed. "Do you think Old Master Feng was involved?"
Luo Tingshan shook his head calmly. "Grandfather...although he was a businessman, he was able to win the admiration of my father, so his character is beyond reproach. Moreover, the Feng family has been donating money and food to the army for many years. He probably doesn't know about this."
Zhu Mingqing walked over and sat in front of him: "That's when good bamboos give rise to bad shoots!"
Luo Tingshan sneered: "That's the truth."
"Why not just tell him directly?" Zhu Mingqing was very carefree. "Whether he believes it or not is his business. If he is really that wise, he will definitely find out the truth. Why bother with it?"
Luo Tingshan's eyelashes twitched slightly, and he smiled lightly: "I'm not entangled, nor do I have any intention of continuing to contact the Feng family. I told you these things just because I don't want you to be deceived by some people."
Hearing this, Zhu Mingqing's clear eyes moved slightly, and he looked at him without blinking, and suddenly said with a sincere face: "Why are you so nice!"
Boom——
Luo Tingshan's heart nearly skipped a beat, and he looked over with burning eyes: "How... did you say that?"
Zhu Mingqing smiled and raised her thumbs up: "I give you a thumbs up, and don't worry, if anyone dares to cheat me, he will definitely be punished."
…
The next day, before Zhu Mingqing even left the house, the Feng family came to visit him again.
Master Feng Qi looked at the woman in front of him with contempt in his heart, but he did not show it on his face.
"Madam, you should have heard of the Feng family."
Zhu Mingqing blinked and nodded: "Of course."
That's good. Master Feng Qi smiled complacently and said, "Then I wonder if Madam is interested in doing business?"
Zhu Mingqing: ???
This person...could it be that he was not sent by Old Master Feng?
"What business?"
"I have a batch of high-quality medicinal herbs, but no one in Yangzhou can consume them. I heard that Madam is a wealthy merchant from outside, so I took the liberty to come and bother you." Master Feng Qi gently waved his folding fan and leaned back in his chair. "If Madam is willing to make this deal, I can take you to a garden. I heard that Madam wants to buy some living things, and I'm sure that garden will be able to meet your needs."
Zhu Mingqing saw that this man seemed sincere on the surface, but she could not hide the calculation that flashed in his eyes.
Besides, she had already discussed with Old Master Feng about doing medicinal materials business.
If there really was such a garden in Yangzhou City, she could just look for other people from the Lin and Feng families. Why take a detour?
"No need. I'm not interested in Mr. Feng's medicinal herbs." She stood up directly. "This lady has important matters to attend to, so I won't keep you here."
Seeing that she was really about to leave, Feng Qiye immediately shouted, "Wait!"
brush--
Close the folding fan.
His brows turned cold, "Madam, I'm afraid you don't understand the Feng family's status in Yangzhou City. You have to do this business whether you want to or not!"
He asked someone to find out and found out that this was a powerless merchant from outside the area.
Even if there is someone backing them up, distant water cannot put out a nearby fire. Moreover, this is Yangzhou City, which has no shortage of powerful people.
Zhu Mingqing smiled, his brows sharp, and turned around and said, "Master Feng Qi from the fourth branch of the Feng family, right?"
Master Feng Qi nodded proudly: "It is me."
"As for me, I can't stand being threatened. If I say I won't buy, then I won't buy." She walked up to the man with a stern look on her face. "Even if your old man comes, it's useless!"
Master Feng Qi stepped back unconsciously. When he realized what was happening, he became angry and sneered, "Alright, I'll see how long you can hold on!"
