Chapter 507: Begins to fool the Feng family
Su Nuan knew that this guy was thick-skinned, so she changed the subject.
"Who are your aunt's husband's family?"
Ouyang Xing replied, "My uncle's family originally ran a dyeing factory, but within a year of my aunt's marriage, they ran into problems."
"My uncle was not in good health to begin with, and he couldn't withstand the shock."
"My aunt's parents-in-law were so grief-stricken that they lost their lives in the fire because they didn't keep a close eye on the candlelight at night."
Su Nuan grinned, "How cruel."
But as a widow, Sun cannot inherit all the property of her husband's family. Is there no one else in her husband's family?
Ouyang Xing continued, "At that time, my aunt had a posthumous child, but he died a year after he was born."
"My uncle's family wants their property back, but they can't because my uncle is protecting them."
Su Nuan clicked her tongue twice, "Let your aunt marry someone from the Bai family. Maybe they'll wipe out the whole family without us having to do anything."
Ouyang Xing grinned and said, "No one in the Bai family dares to marry her, but my uncle's sister is still alive, and her family is not very well off."
He suddenly remembered something, "Oh, her son has a scar on his face, which means he's cut off from the imperial examination. What a shame! The child is intelligent and loves to study. If he's well trained, he could get a government position in the future."
Su Nuan was very disappointed with the court, but it was a cruel thing for a child to be good at studying but not be able to take the imperial examination.
She said, "Use the ointment I just mentioned to apply it, and any scars that form within five years will disappear."
Ouyang Xing tightened his arms and hugged himself, "No."
Su Nuan glanced sideways, "Forget it, I'll go see her when I get a chance, and treat the child's scar."
Ouyang Xing nodded, "Okay, OK."
At this time, someone knocked on the door. It was the waiter who brought back the medicinal tea.
He asked cautiously, "Do you want more tea dregs?"
Su Nuan waved her hand, "No, it will lose its medicinal properties after being boiled. Just throw it away."
"Yes!" The waiter responded and left.
Su Nuan drank her tea when she suddenly heard a stranger's voice and saw another private room in front of her.
The space spirit said, "This teahouse belongs to the Feng family. They went to investigate whether the illegitimate child was Old Man Feng's child. Now that they found out it's not, they are discussing countermeasures."
Su Nuan nodded secretly and began to eavesdrop.
There were three people sitting at the small eight-immortal table in the private room: an old man with white eyebrows and beard, a fat man with a white face and no beard, and a young man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks.
The old man said angrily: "That boy is not my grandson, it's a pity that we treated him so well."
The middle-aged man said, "Since it's not Big Brother's child, there's no need for us to help the Bai family seize the throne of Crown Prince."
The young man said foolishly, "I'll be the crown prince."
The old man glared at him and said, "Nonsense, what identity do you go there with? A bastard?"
"Even if someone like you is his biological child, the Marquis will not acknowledge him."
The young man shrank his neck and dared not say a word.
The old man continued, "Didn't that kid say that he would let the eldest brother be the deputy city lord and let our Feng family manage the entire city?"
The middle-aged man nodded. "That's what he said. That kid's words are trustworthy because he's not smart at all and doesn't beat around the bush."
The old man pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go and talk to them."
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, "Dad, will we scare him if we go over like this? Or should we wait until eldest brother comes back?"
The old man shook his head. "No, that kid is back, but your eldest brother hasn't come back yet. I think the Bai family must have..."
He sighed and said nothing, but there wasn't much sadness in his eyes, as if it wouldn't fit the plot if he didn't feel a little sad after saying this.
The middle-aged man's eyes flickered. "So the Bai family already knows that our Feng family knows about the child's background?"
The old man thought for a moment, stroking his beard several times before speaking, "Not necessarily, but they let Ouyang Xing come back and even received him. I guess Ouyang Xing has promised him some benefits."
"If Ouyang Xing is willing to do as he says and hand over Luancheng to us for management, then it's not impossible for us to help him destroy the Bai family."
The middle-aged man shook his head. "We are evenly matched with the Bai family. If we clash head-on, no one will gain anything."
The old man snorted coldly, "Let Ouyang Xing go to the Bai family and tell them that our Feng family wants to deal with him. Then the Bai family will definitely set up an ambush."
"Then we'll have Ouyang Xing tell us the Bai family's ambush location. We'll strike first and catch the Bai family completely off guard."
A look of joy appeared on the middle-aged man's face. "Yes, that fool will definitely help us, because he brought a country girl to visit his uncle, and ended up making his uncle and aunt vomit blood, thus breaking off the relationship."
"If our Feng family extends a helping hand to him, he will regard us as his strongest backing."
The old man nodded and said, "That's right, let's go and talk."
The young man stood up and said, "I'm going too."
Su Nuan looked at Ouyang Xing who was eating melon seeds. This guy was really not afraid even if the sky fell.
Soon, the door was pushed open and the three men walked in.
Ouyang Xing was stunned, then jumped up in shock, "You...what do you want to do?"
Su Nuan pretended to be scared and hid behind Ouyang Xing.
A loving smile appeared on Old Master Feng's face. "How can I not drink good tea when my eldest grandson comes?"
Su Nuan, “…” He came up and recognized his grandson.
If I hadn't just seen the old man's true face, I would have been bewitched by his smile.
Ouyang Xing looked at Mr. Feng flatteredly, "What... do you want to do?"
Mr. Feng smiled and said, "Sit down, let's talk."
Ouyang Xing nodded and pulled Su Nuan to sit down.
Old Master Feng was very satisfied with the two men's reserved demeanor. He smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I just felt that my eldest son had done something wrong to the eldest young master. I heard that the eldest young master was here for tea, so I came here to apologize."
Ouyang Xing frowned and asked, "Really? You also know that he went too far? Treating the Bai family's offspring as his own son is laughable."
Old Master Feng's face froze. "What did you say? Is that child from the Bai family?"
Ouyang Xing nodded and said angrily, "I was captured by the Bai family when I came back this time. I overheard it when I escaped from prison."
"The son of Patriarch Bai swapped Concubine Bai's child. This means that Patriarch Bai killed Elder Feng and Concubine Bai's child."
"What a pity! If I go back now and fight for the position of Crown Prince, my father won't agree. If I don't fight, the Bai family will want to kill me again."
Old Master Feng's eyes flashed and he asked, "How did you know the Bai family wanted to kill you?"
Ouyang Xing said with resentment, "They caught me and threw me into the dungeon as soon as I entered the city. They originally wanted to kill me and throw me into the Marquis' Mansion, but it was the Bai family's young master who said he would keep me as a slave, so I lived for two more days. Fortunately, Nuannuan found me and rescued me, otherwise I would have died long ago."
Old Master Feng lowered his eyes and slowly stroked his beard with his hand. It was unclear whether he believed what he said was wrong or not.
