1511 Opportunity, a sign of action
The seven elders of the Fengli clan have already made a big concession by opening a separate ancestral hall for Feng Qingchen. If Feng Qingchen wants them to give in again and give up the adoption, he will have to find another opportunity.
The issue of adoption remained at a stalemate. The Great Elder and others felt somewhat dissatisfied when they saw that Feng Qingchen was not willing to give in.
In their eyes, Feng Qingchen's behavior was selfish, but they couldn't show their displeasure to Feng Qingchen in public. After all, Feng Qingchen was a legitimate daughter who had seen and worshipped her ancestors, and...
They also felt guilty about the death of the War King.
Therefore, everyone kept the adoption matter in mind. The Great Elders only spoke to the Fifth Elder and Feng Liyou in private, giving them a chance to persuade Feng Qingchen to put the overall situation first and consider the Feng Li clan more.
Even if she adopted a child, no one could surpass Feng Qingchen. Feng Qingchen was still the legitimate daughter of the royal family.
Feng Liyou responded modestly, and turned around to tell Feng Qingchen what the Great Elder had said: "Qingchen, you'd better think of a solution as soon as possible. If you keep dragging it out like this, you'll be the one who suffers."
Feng Qingchen still has to rob the Lu family's property, so he doesn't have time to waste here.
"The Great Elder still refuses to give in?" Feng Qingchen knew very well that she didn't have time to waste here.
It has been almost half a year now. With the nautical charts, those people must have found the island long ago. I wonder if they have dug out the Lu family's gold mountain, and if they have, into whose hands it has fallen.
If you want to rob, you can't wait for people to transport the silver back home.
Feng Liyou nodded silently: "On this matter, the first and second elders are very stubborn, but the sixth and seventh elders are silent; as for the third and fourth elders, they seem to be on your side, but... your chances of success are still low."
"I understand. You tell the Great Elder, I will seriously consider it." Feng Qingchen did not mean to give in. He just continued to drag it out, waiting for the right opportunity.
Feng Liyou also understood what Feng Qingchen meant, so he stood up and went back to talk to the Great Elder, and persuaded the Great Elder...
"We can afford it. You don't have to worry about the Lu family's property. Unless they don't go out to sea, once they go out to sea, they will be ours." Don't forget, he has a navy and an independent island.
The Ninth Prince walked behind Feng Qingchen and massaged her temples: "After the matter of the Fengli clan is settled, we will live in the other courtyard for a while."
Combining work and rest is a must. Feng Qingchen nodded heavily.
She hasn't had a good rest since coming to Beiling. She has fought with various people along the way. Although she won more than she lost, she was really exhausted both mentally and physically.
The adoption issue has not been finalized yet. The seven elders have issued a gag order, and not many people know about it, but Lan Jingyang is not one of them.
With Feng Li Qingge around, how could this matter be hidden from Lan Jingyang? Lan Jingyang even knew that the elders were very dissatisfied with Feng Qingchen.
"Dissatisfied? That's right... I'll add fuel to the fire." Lan Jingyang opened the window, put his hands behind his back, looked up outside the house, with a wicked smile on his face, and his eyes were like stars in the dark, shining brightly...
Feng Li Qingge was standing at the turning point, and was stunned when he saw this scene.
It turned out that Jingyang was so handsome, with eyes so bright that they could make the heaven and earth pale in comparison. How come she didn't know before that Jingyang could be so handsome.
Feng Li Qingge's heart was pounding, her cheeks were flushed, and she looked like she was drunk. She looked at Lan Jingyang infatuatedly.
Lan Jingyang's residence was very quiet and remote, and not many people came here on weekdays. However, Feng Li Qingge was still worried that someone would see her infatuated look, so she carefully held her breath to avoid being discovered.
After her breathing became stable, Feng Li Qingge planned to leave quietly. She was not fit to meet people in this state. But the moment she turned around, she saw...
He saw a dark shadow standing respectfully in front of Lan Jingyang.
What is going on?
Feng Li Qingge opened her eyes wide. She couldn't hear clearly what Lan Jingyang and the man in black said, but she instinctively knew that it was not a good thing.
What is Jingyang going to do?
Feng Li Qingge felt uneasy and hid herself even more carefully, staring at Lan Jingyang and the man in black without blinking.
Unfortunately, Feng Li Qingge didn’t understand anything. The man in black said something to Lan Jingyang. Lan Jingyang nodded, and the black shadow disappeared.
Feng Li Qingge knew that she had discovered Jing Yang's secret. She didn't know what to do for a moment and could only turn around and run away...
Lan Jingyang noticed some movement behind him, and when he turned around to chase after him, he saw Feng Li Qingge's back.
"She actually saw it, what a pity for such a beauty." Lan Jingyang licked his lips with murderous eyes.
Feng Li Qingge ran for his life and only stopped when he reached an uninhabited place. Looking at the white snow-capped mountains, Feng Li Qingge was confused for a moment.
Jingyang... Is this man really the one she knows? Is he really the one who has been helping them?
Feng Li Qingge shook his head desperately, trying to shake off the scene he had just seen, but the more he didn't want to remember it, the clearer the scene became.
"Jingyang..." Feng Li Qingge shouted unconsciously.
Lan Jingyang saw Feng Li Qingge, who was somewhat confused, and smiled mockingly: "Qingge..."
"Ah..." Feng Li Qingge was startled when she suddenly heard Lan Jingyang's voice. Her face turned pale and bloodless. Meeting Lan Jingyang's gentle and smiling eyes, Feng Li Qingge turned her face away in panic, not daring to look at him, for fear that he would discover something.
"Qingge, what's wrong with you?" Lan Jingyang pretended not to see it and asked with concern.
"I, I'm fine. Jing, Jingyang, why are you here?" Feng Li Qingge tried her best to appear calm, but the more she did so, the more flustered she became.
Lan Jingyang stepped forward gently and held Qingge in his arms: "I went to find you. Someone saw you walking this way, so I followed you."
"You, what do you want from me?" Feng Li Qingge's body was a little stiff. Thinking of the wicked smile of Jing Yang that she had seen before, she suddenly felt that this gentle smile seemed a little out of place on Jing Yang.
I found it, but...
This is not a good time to take action.
Lan Jingyang patted Qingge on the back and said with a melancholy look on his face: "Qingge, there's news from the villa that my senior brother Hanyue is in trouble. I have to hurry back."
"Ah...what?" Feng Li Qingge was stunned and quickly raised her head: "You said, you want to go down the mountain?" Could it be that she was thinking too much? The man in black who just came to find Jing Yang was the person who notified him to go back from Hanyue Villa.
Lan Jingyang responded in a depressed tone, "Qingge, you know my senior brother has only one daughter. Hanyue Villa is his life's work. If something happens to him, without help, my senior brother's daughter will definitely not be able to defend Hanyue Villa. My senior brother asked someone to send a message to me, asking me to go down the mountain as soon as possible. It's a rare request from my senior brother, and I can't refuse."
"Then when are you leaving?" Feng Li Qingge put aside his doubts and asked reluctantly.
"tomorrow……"
"You're in such a hurry." Feng Li Qingge pulled Lan Jingyang's clothes and said, "Then, when will you come back?"
Lan Jingyang shook his head and said reluctantly, "I don't know what the situation is at Hanyue Villa. I can't get any news here. I'll know the details when I get there."
"Then, then..." What should she do? They were already married, what would she do if Jing Yang left and never came back?
