Ling Feng’s legs went weak, and the tall man almost fell on the spot, his face wrinkling as if he was about to wring out water, lamenting woefully, "Madam, please spare me. If the master finds out, I’ll have no way to live."
Xin He glanced at him lightly, "So, don’t let him know! It’s just a matter of delivering a message. He’s in the study now and has no time to spare. You go chase after them immediately, deliver this message, and also, give this item to that servant."
As she spoke, she took out a jade pendant and brought it to Ling Feng’s eyes.
Ling Feng’s mouth twitched hard. So, the madam had already prepared the token of love?
Ling Feng swallowed hard, "Madam, shouldn’t you discuss this with the master?"
"If I could discuss this with him, why would I need you? Hurry up! Once it’s done, I’ll explain it to him personally. Don’t worry." Xin He threw the jade pendant directly into Ling Feng’s arms.
As Ling Feng hurriedly caught the pendant, he finally reluctantly agreed, thinking to himself: Anyway, the master said it himself, the lady’s orders are his orders. Ling Feng is just a doer, can he even defy the task the madam gives him?
Seeing Ling Feng’s desperate expression as he left, Xiaoyu couldn’t help feeling a little sympathy for him.
But it only lasted for a moment, as she turned to Xin He and said, "Madam is doing this to hook the fish?"
Xin He leaned against the table and sat down, speaking lightly, "Yes, if the fish doesn’t bite, we’ll just be passive. Once it’s hooked, we can do whatever we want."
"Can’t you really tell the master about this?" Xiaoyu hesitated.
"Do you think he’s the type to choose such a complicated route? If he knew about what happened with Madam Song from the third branch, he’d probably make her suffer directly. But if it were just a bystander, it wouldn’t matter, but now the Song Family is under holy grace and quite eye-catching. Even a side-born child from the third branch might be questioned by the Emperor in case of a thorough investigation. Instead of causing so many troubles for nothing, it’s better to find another way." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Xin He knew Mu Houchu too well; this man had his pride. He would never use his fake affection for a woman to get things done; he would neither disdain nor stoop to doing such a thing.
Let her do what he was unwilling to do, and solve the Song family’s trouble without anyone knowing. It would save them problems in the future.
Now that he had decided to cooperate with the Song family, regardless of the conflicts between the main branch, second branch, and third branch, the Song family was a whole on the surface. Some troublemakers in the Song family would inevitably bring unexpected troubles to the Song family and even involve Marquis Mu. Therefore, she must remove them for him.
After pondering for a moment, Xiaoyu said, "I’m afraid the master will be angry when he finds out."
Xin He curved the corner of her mouth, a sly look in her eyes, "Let him be angry. Anyway, I’m carrying Ah Guai."
Now, Xin He could experience the reliance and recklessness of those who took advantage of their status in the household.
In the past, if she angered him, his cold aura would be so oppressive that it would be difficult to breathe. It would take a lot of effort to appease him, and if he got even angrier, he would drag her to the bed to teach her a lesson. That’s why Xin He used to be very cautious.
But now it’s different, she’s carrying a child. For the past six months, Mu Houchu has been careful not to speak too loudly, fearing that he might scare her, and his patience and good temper have grown exponentially. Only from this point could Xin He feel that bearing a child wasn’t that bad.
Shulan’s face also wrinkled, showing Ling Feng’s desperate expression, "Madam, don’t forget to speak up for us servants later."
Xin He laughed, "Don’t worry about it, what could he do at most? Just give a dirty look."
Shulan and Xiaoyu muttered: That’s for you to handle.
——
At this point, Ling Feng had already caught up with the horse carriage of the servant from the Song family.
It seemed that the servant’s position in the Song family was rather high, as he was even equipped with a dusty horse carriage for a long journey. If it weren’t for the carriage, considering the injury inflicted by Mu Houchu, he probably wouldn’t have been able to get out of bed for a month and would have had to crawl back.
Ling Feng rode directly in front of the carriage, causing the coachman to be taken aback and quickly pulled the reins, stopping the carriage abruptly.
The servant inside the carriage slammed against the carriage board due to the sudden stop, almost cursing loudly, "What the hell? Can’t even control the carriage properly! You’re trying to kill me!"
The coachman outside sheepishly said, "A man suddenly appeared, Lian Si, you, you might want to come out and take a look."
Seeing the imposing figure, the coachman chickened out and didn’t dare to intervene, directly calling Lian Si to come out.
Lian Si angrily pulled open the curtains: "Why am I so unlucky today? One bad thing after another! Who is it?"
This grumbling attitude stopped abruptly when he saw the visitor clearly. His eyes widened, and he quickly put on a dog-like smile, holding his shaking hands and laughing awkwardly, "Ah, it’s you, big master! What are your orders? Whatever you say, I’ll do it. You, you, you are..."
Of course, Lian Si recognized Ling Feng as one of Master Mu’s followers. Just thinking about Master Mu’s cold face made him feel suffocated and scared!
If the master’s follower was chasing after him now, could it be that he didn’t kick him hard enough earlier and wanted to kick him again?
With this thought, the servant was on the verge of tears, wishing he could kneel down before Ling Feng.
However, Ling Feng sat unmoving on his horse, his face serious, as he fought an internal battle.
Lian Si was confused – this man was blocking his carriage but not saying anything. What was going on?
Summoning his courage, Lian Si ventured, "Big master, if you don’t have anything to..."
Ling Feng clenched his teeth in the dark, finally saying, "I do."
"Huh?" Lian Si was stunned, and his face turned even paler.
Ling Feng dismounted directly and walked towards him.
Frightened, Lian Si stepped back repeatedly, wishing he could roll back into the carriage, "Big master, let’s talk nicely. If you think I offended you earlier, I’ll apologize right here. Please, don’t..."
