Nan Yuanman ruined their reputation in S City, and the entire Jiang family was almost destroyed. Jiang Tianzong will definitely not let her go.
Feng Congqian recalled the Gu that jumped out of the thermos brought by Jiang Lixuan at the press conference in S City, and his eyes darkened slightly: "I will."
However... if Jiang Tianzong is really involved with mystical arts, then the protection of ordinary people probably won't be of much use.
Fortunately, he sent an invitation to Zhang Shimian as well. He should be coming today. With him there, the safety of the event should be much higher.
"Come back first, the banquet is about to start, and Yuanman misses you very much."
Feng Xingchi turned the laptop screen to show his view: "I'm in the car now, I'll be there soon."
Feng Congqian told him to be careful and then hung up the phone.
At the same time, Feng Yanxiu, who had been rushing, also arrived at the Feng family manor. As soon as he got out of the car, he was led inside by the servants who were waiting outside.
"Fifth Young Master, the Sixth Young Master has already chosen your outfit for the banquet today. You just need to come with me and change into it."
"By the way, Miss is changing clothes now, you should run into her in a bit."
Feng Yanxiu rubbed his slightly sore shoulders and gave a cold "hmm," feeling somewhat disdainful. He guessed she knew he would come back for the family reunion banquet and was deliberately waiting for him in the dressing room to curry favor with him.
He's seen too many illegitimate daughters like this over the years; all other families' daughters are like this.
Before Feng Yanxiu pushed open the dressing room door, that was what he was thinking. But after he opened the door and saw the little bean curd sticking out its head obediently, letting Feng Yuli tie a bow for it, he fell silent.
No one told him that the main character of this family reunion banquet was a child!
How old does this child look?
Is Feng Congqian an old ox eating young grass?
brute.
It wasn't that Feng Zining and Feng Jingcheng didn't tell him, but they assumed that even if Feng Yanxiu didn't pay attention to news about the Feng family, he would at least read the news.
The Feng family didn't send anyone to suppress the things Nan Yuanman did with the Jiang family in S City. As long as Feng Yanxiu browsed the news, he could see her news and know that the daughter Feng Congqian brought back was a five-year-old child.
Even without browsing the news, you would have seen Nam Mandarin's standee when you walked into the manor, right?
To everyone's surprise, Feng Yanxiu took a shortcut with the servants and didn't see Nan Yuanman's personal standee or photo at all.
Nan Yuanman, who was tilting her head up, saw a strange young man appear at the locker room door. He was wearing a khaki overall uniform and looked particularly rough and rugged, yet he exuded a ghostly aura. She exclaimed "Eh!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Yuli looked up and saw the young man standing at the door. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Yanxiu, you're back?"
Inkstone repair?
Nan Yuanman looked at him curiously with her clear, bright eyes. He was the donkey demon Fifth Brother that Fourth Brother and Sixth Brother had mentioned!
Feng Yanxiu snapped out of his daze, gave an awkward "hmm," and hesitantly stepped inside.
Nan Yuanman's gaze followed his movements with curiosity. She couldn't see any demonic aura on her fifth brother; she only noticed a heavy ghostly aura emanating from him.
Feng Yanxiu felt uncomfortable being stared at like that, and he couldn't help but ask in a rough voice, "What are you looking at?"
"Let's see if you're a donkey demon," Nan Yuanman replied honestly.
Feng Yanxiu: "?"
"A donkey demon?"
Nan Yuanman: "Fourth Brother and Sixth Brother said you're as stubborn as a donkey..."
Feng Yanxiu's forehead veins throbbed slightly; he knew that those two brothers didn't have a single kind word to say!
Feng Yuli couldn't help but chuckle and gently patted Nan Yuanman's back: "Your fifth brother isn't a donkey demon, he's a real human being."
Nanmanyuan: "Oh."
Feng Yanxiu: "..." Why do you sound so disappointed?
This illegitimate child... oh no, this cousin is not quite what he imagined?
"The ceremony is about to begin, Yanxiu, go and change your clothes," Feng Yuli said gently, his tone completely devoid of the unfamiliarity and distance that came with his long absence from home.
Feng Yanxiu gave an awkward "hmm" and got up to go to the changing room when a crisp "click" sound rang out.
He subconsciously looked down, and when he saw what had fallen to the ground, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly reached out to pick it up.
A small, fair hand spoke faster than him: "This longevity lock is a gift from my fifth brother..."
"Don't take it!" Feng Yanxiu nervously slapped the longevity lock away from her hand, his voice unconsciously rising.
Feng Yuli frowned immediately.
Nan Yuanman stared at him blankly, as if he had been startled.
Feng Yanxiu realized he had overreacted. His whole body tensed, and a sense of annoyance welled up inside him, but his face remained cold as he quickly picked up the longevity lock: "This is not your gift."
Before seeing Nan Yuanman, he had never even considered buying a gift for that illegitimate daughter.
He thought that Feng Congqian's illegitimate daughter was at least sixteen years old, but who knew... she looked to be less than six.
"I'll have someone deliver your gift to you later," Feng Yanxiu said coldly, putting the longevity lock into his pocket before turning and striding into the dressing room.
Feng Yuli didn't know why Feng Yanxiu was reacting so strongly. He went to Nan Yuanman's side with concern and hugged her: "Yuanman, are you alright?"
"Don't be afraid of your fifth brother, he's not a bad person."
“It’s wonderful that everything is perfect.” Nan Yuanman came back to her senses: “I know, Fifth Brother is a very good person.”
If he were a bad guy, he would have given her the longevity lock that housed the ghost baby long ago!
I just don't know where her fifth brother got such a vicious ghost baby from.
She'll need to help with this after the banquet.
Inside the changing room.
After calming down for a while, Feng Yanxiu took out the golden longevity lock from his pocket, and his gaze fell on the lock with a hint of fear.
He pursed his lips, strode towards the trash can, and threw the longevity lock inside.
He refused to believe that the longevity lock could return to him this time!
Amidst everyone's intensive preparations, the family reunion banquet finally began.
Following Nan Yuanman's instructions, Feng Congqian didn't do anything fancy. At an auspicious time, he took Nan Yuanman's hand and went on stage, formally introducing her to the guests from the eight prominent families who had been invited.
"Yuanman is the apple of my eye, and she will be the only little princess of the Feng family."
Feng Yuli, Feng Langqing, and Feng Xingchi, Feng Zining, Feng Yanxiu, and Feng Jingcheng, who had rushed back, stood behind Nan Yuanman and Feng Congqian, dressed in well-tailored high-end clothing.
Feng Congqian held Nan Yuanman's hand, his expression cold and stern: "I hope everyone here can remember her face. In the future, when we are in the capital, don't let me find out that you have bullied my child."
“I, Feng Congqian, have no rule against arguing with children.”
These words sound domineering, but the Feng family has the qualifications and power to say such things in the capital.
No matter how unhappy the guests from the eight prominent families were, they could only put on a friendly smile.
The children looked at Nan Yuanman, who was surrounded and protected by his six older brothers like stars around the moon, and felt full of envy.
They wish they had so many older brothers to protect them! They wouldn't even need a bunch of people when they were just playing house!
Nan Yuanman never expected Feng Congqian to be so domineering as to declare her to be the little princess of the Feng family. She blushed shyly, but her eyes sparkled.
She's a little princess! Aside from her grandfather, this is the first time someone has ever called her a little princess!
She really likes Uncle Feng!
Feng Yuli smiled and said a few conciliatory words: "Of course, as long as each family restrains its own descendants and does not bully Yuanman, the Feng family is still willing to continue cooperating with them."
Just as Zhuo Lerong was about to be the first to agree, an old, hoarse voice filled with resentment rang out: "A cursed star who brings misfortune to her father and mother, how can she bear the title of little princess?"
"Yuanman, do you think Grandpa is right?"
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone! Wishing you all the same joy and fulfillment every year as today, with the moonlight bringing reunions wherever it shines! Love you all! Be happy, be healthy, and be rich!!
