Chapter 742: I can only be her son's concubine

When Yu Yonggui saw the post, he was furious: "Will this Pang family ever stop?"

Xing Xing put the invitation on the table and said, "Looks like I have to go to the prefecture tomorrow."

Yu Yonggui disagreed: "Who knows if it was the Hongmen Banquet——"

Xing Xing soothed him, "It's okay... Fourth brother, don't you believe in the fake Feng family identities that Chaoyang Tower made for us?"

Yu Yonggui immediately said, "There is no way this fake identity will go wrong."

Xing Xing smiled and gently comforted Yu Yonggui: "Fourth brother, that's it. There is indeed a merchant family called Feng in Jiyang City, and there is indeed a young man and young lady in the Feng family. When we appeared in the territory of Jiyang City, the young man and young lady took a carriage out of the city and stayed in the place arranged by you Chaoyang Tower. How could it be wrong with such meticulousness? ... So it must not be because of our identity. There is only one possibility left, that is, Pang Jinkang mentioned me to his mother, and his mother wanted to see me. Then, fourth brother, don't you trust me to deal with these things in the back house? When have I ever suffered a loss?"

Although Yu Yonggui still frowned, he was obviously moved by Xingxing's persuasion.

"I don't know if it was her son who said that she had bad intentions towards you." Yu Yonggui muttered, "I'm still a little worried. I'll be guarding outside the prefectural government. If there's anything wrong, you can blow this short whistle."

Yu Yonggui took off a whistle from his neck and asked Xingxing to wear it.

Xingxing knew that this short whistle was probably Fourth Brother's final compromise. She took it with a smile, put it on her body, and patted it, meaning to let Yu Yonggui see that she was wearing it properly.

Yu Yonggui then nodded reluctantly.

The next day, Xing Xing carefully applied the beauty-beautifying potion again, and then went to the prefectural residence half an hour earlier than the time indicated on the post.

The gatekeeper of the prefectural government did not make things difficult for Xingxing and led her in politely and attentively.

Yu Yonggui, who was hiding in a secret place outside the mansion, felt relieved when he saw this scene.

There was no attempt to intimidate his daughter Xingxing, so it seemed that this was not some grand banquet.

However, what Yu Yonggui did not expect was that although this was not the Hongmen Banquet, in a sense, it was even more speechless than the Hongmen Banquet.

The prefect's wife, Mrs. Luo, was very kind to Xingxing, but she also invited the wife of a chief clerk in the Anjiang prefect's office to accompany her.

The wife of the chief clerk was named Jiang. She brought her 16-year-old daughter, who was as pretty as a flower. After looking at Xing Xing with a smile, she asked Xing Xing, "I heard that Miss Feng is from Jiyang City?"

Xing Xing nodded and said politely, "That's right."

Madam Jiang, the chief clerk, smiled more brightly: "What a coincidence! My youngest sister is married to the third branch of the Sun family in Doushuai Lane, Jiyang City. I wonder if Miss Feng knows her?"

Since Xingxing had adopted the identity of the daughter of the Feng family in Jiyang City, she had basically memorized everything about the situation in Jiyang City.

The Sun family in Doushita Alley is the grandson family of the four richest businessmen in Jiyang City: Zhang, Wang, Sun and Li.

However, Xingxing could also see that the wife of the chief clerk mentioned the Sun family in Doushui Lane not to test anything, but more like she mentioned the Sun family to compare with her "Feng family".

Xing Xing's face showed a bit of just the right amount of embarrassment: "Mrs. Jiang, you are joking. The Sun family is the leader in the calligraphy and painting business in Jiyang City. Our Feng family is just a small business. How can we compare with them? Not to mention knowing each other."

The wife of the chief clerk knew in her heart that the Feng family was indeed just an ordinary wealthy family and there was nothing to worry about.

She exchanged a subtle look with the prefect's wife, Mrs. Luo.

Luo smiled slightly: "There will always be opportunities in the future."

Xing Xing lowered her eyes and smiled just the right way: "Then I'll accept your good words, Madam."

After the greetings, the prefect's wife, Mrs. Luo, probably had some understanding of the Feng family's family situation.

She became more and more confident that she could find a concubine that suited her son.

Mrs. Luo turned around and smiled at Mrs. Jiang, the wife of the chief clerk, and said, "It's strange to say that this is clearly the first time I've met Miss Feng, but I have a feeling that we have a very good rapport."

Jiang smiled flatteringly and said, "You must be destined to meet Miss Feng. You see, Miss Feng and her brother are not from Anjiang. If they were not destined to meet, how could they know you?"

Mrs. Luo was very satisfied with the master's wife's interest, and smiled to Xingxing, "Mrs. Jiang is right. Maybe we are destined to be together? ... Yes, Miss Feng, I heard that you are engaged? Who is the engaged family? Miss Feng is so popular, I wonder which talented family is lucky enough to marry Miss Feng?"

Xing Xing showed some shyness of a young girl waiting to get married: "He is a young man from a family I know well."

After saying this, Xing Xing acted as if she could not bear the shame, blushed and lowered her head without saying a word.

Luo, however, felt a little depressed.

It seems that Miss Feng and her fiancé still have feelings for each other.

But that's okay.

A familiar family, just an ordinary merchant.

How can the people fight against the officials?

To put it bluntly, she had a hundred ways to make it impossible for Miss Feng to get married and force her to be her son's concubine.

Luo's brows relaxed a little, but she still had a smile on her face and started talking about other things.

But Xingxing heard it.

The prefect's wife and the chief clerk's wife were talking in unison about the daily interactions in the prefect's backyard and the banquets they held, all of which were filled with gorgeous flowers, as if they were deliberately showing off in front of Xingxing.

Xingxing had been to the imperial palace countless times. How could she really envy the daily social life of a prefect's wife?

Xing Xing pretended to be envious, but she had already started to figure out in her heart, why would the prefect's wife say this in front of her on purpose?

It's impossible that he was so bored that he just grabbed a girl at random to show off?

Xingxing thought of Pang Jinkang, and felt that she had figured it out - the prefect's wife probably felt that her identity as a merchant girl was not worthy of her son, so she deliberately talked about the lives of these wealthy families in an attempt to make her give up?

Xing Xing thought to herself, Madam Luo, this is exactly what I want! You don't have to go through so much trouble, just ask and I will definitely agree. From now on, I will stay away from any place where your son is and will never provoke him!

Xing Xing was still considering how to express to the prefect's wife that she had no improper thoughts about Master Ling, when she heard that Mrs. Luo probably felt that she had laid the groundwork, so she changed the subject and asked Xing Xing with a smile: "...Miss Feng, do you think what we just said was a bit too far-fetched?"

Xingxing acted as if she was deeply moved to show that she had learned something new.

Luo smiled with satisfaction, feeling that the seed had been planted in Xingxing's heart.

After the banquet was over, the wife of the chief clerk left with her daughter. Xingxing was about to leave, but she saw the wife of the prefect, Mrs. Luo, looking at her with a smile and said, "There is still something else... Miss Feng, what do you think of my son?"

Xingxing thought to herself, finally here!
