FID – Chapter 537

Chapter 537: Is He That Kind of Righteous Young Man?

  In the living room of Xinliu Manor, Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu and the others were still suffering from lingering fears.

  Liu Dalin scolded his daughter sullenly, taking such a stern tone for the first time ever since birth, “Nannan, do you know how dangerous it was just now? Why did you rush in front? I am a big man. Even if I failed to avoid the attack, they never would have dared to kill me?”

  His daughter suddenly charged in front of him, so he didn’t have time to react. That servant’s hand was a hairbreadth’s away from clawing his daughter’s neck.

  Liu Yusheng lowered her head and obediently admitted her mistake, “It’s my fault, Dad. Don’t be mad.”

  This time, she was too negligent. Otherwise, they could have done without her family being scared.

  As soon as she admitted her mistake, Liu Dalin could no longer continue scolding her. Her daughter definitely learned her lesson from this.

  ”Dad, it’s my fault. I should have asked people to come here to keep an eye on them. If they ever come again in the future, let’s not let them in even for an inch. Just let the gatekeeper drive them out,” Fu Yuzheng interceded, and at the same time pacified the elders.

  ”Yes, I’ll just blast them out in the future! That way, they’ll never entertain ideas of hurting people!” Grandma Liu’s knowledge was limited, but that didn’t mean she had no eyesight.

  That gesture was meant to crush Nannan’s neck!

  If Qinglian hadn’t arrived just in time, she couldn’t even dare to imagine what would have happened next.

  Grandpa Liu on the side nodded straight away. He was seething that he couldn’t even string a word.

  Xue Qinglian walked in at this time and teased them, “Oh, look at how angry you elders ah. Tsk-tsk, don’t be mad. I avenged you. I beat that little servant with fifty punches outside. He is so badly beaten that he can’t even crawl up. If that’s not enough, I’ll bring him back and make him kowtow, apologize, and call you, ancestor, how about it?”

  ”Even if is willing to call us so, we are not willing to be his ancestors!” Grandpa Liu finally raised his voice and said angrily.

  ”Yeah-yeah-yeah, that’s right. Then, just get him out of your hair. If we accidentally bump into him in the future, we’ll beat him every time we see him.”

  When the elders became calmer, Liu Yusheng asked Xue Qinglian, “Aren’t you supposed to be in seclusion? Why did you come out?”

  ”I’m hungry. I went out to the kitchen to find some food, but when I came back after eating and caught sight of the Liu family’s patriarch here, I squatted somewhere nearby for a while,” Xue Qinglian replied lightly, and then immediately spread his hands to Liu Yusheng, “I should be rewarded for this timely rescue, right?”

  The corners of Liu Yusheng’s eyes twitched. She took out a bottle of potion and stuffed it in his hand. “Can you not bargain for once?”

  ”Lucky Nannan, you have no conscience. If I wasn’t worried about you, do you think I would squat in the corner outside? Besides, I ask you because you have it. If you don’t have it, do you think I’ll pester you until you give me some? I don’t understand people’s goodwill!” Upon receiving the medicine bottle, Xue Qinglian immediately hid it in his arms. Nevertheless, he still complained, “It’s all because it’s you. If you were someone else, I wouldn’t have bothered! Hmph!”

  How did she think he earned the title Dead No Treatment? 

  Was he the kind of righteous and passionate young man? Whenever he saw injustice on the road, would he draw a knife to help?

  Give me a break!

  If they were some other people, he wouldn’t have spared them a second glance even if they dropped dead in front of him.

  ”Yes, yes, I misunderstood you, Master Xue. You’re magnanimous, so please don’t take it personally,” Liu Yusheng pleaded for mercy.

  ”Okay, for the sake of your good attitude, I’ll forgive you once. I’m going back to my room. Even if you have some matters to discuss with me, don’t disturb me.” Satisfied, Xue Qinglian turned around and left, and went back to hanging his sign.

  Before returning to the room, he went to the kitchen and stole two chickens.

  The chef dared not speak.

  Xue Qinglian, who was almost as noisy as Qian Wanjin, left, and the hall became dull again.

  Liu Yusheng knew that her elders must still be thinking about Liu Huai’s words as well as the family genealogy that he sent to the yamen. Now that this matter reached the yamen, it definitely wouldn’t be so easy to solve it.

  Besides, their side dared to do so, so they must be certain of their victory.

  ”Nannan, is there really a good way to solve this problem on Axiu’s side?” Grandpa Liu’s brow knotted.

  ”Don’t worry, Grandpa. Feng Qingbai will definitely not say something just to coax you. He will explain everything to you when he comes back.” Liu Yusheng smiled.

  If she guessed correctly, the commotion in the house should have reached Feng Qingbai’s ears by now.

  He will be back soon.

  Feng Qingbai did receive the news just in time.

  Hearing that the servant brought by Liu Huai almost hurt Liu Yusheng in the Xinliu Manor, his eyes turned cold.

  ”Spread the word that Liu Huai went to someone’s residence to brag and harm people. Also instruct Wei Lan to take good care of the man and not expose his existence until the time is right.”

  After instructing a shadow guard, he abandoned a pile of political affairs and got up to leave.

  ”Uncle, I’ll go with you too!” Feng Mohan heard the entire report. Seeing that Feng Qingbai was about to leave, he immediately jumped up and followed him.

  Eager as he could be.

  Feng Qingbai turned his head toward him. “Deal with the government affairs before I returned. If you still have spare time, just think about who’s signboard to flip tonight.”

  ”…” Feng Mohan’s face turned pale.

  His uncle did it on purpose.

  Knowing what was bothering him the most right now, he just had to mention it in front of him.

  He has to flip a token and call a concubine to serve his bed!

  Although the last ceremony was not finalized, it did not last long.

  Not long after the ministers asked him to announce his chosen concubines.

  He couldn’t shy away from this matter, so he was left with no choice but to choose a few names and announce them.

  Since then, Jingshifang has put the flipping the token on the agenda, and every day before going to bed, they would come over with a tray of tokens for him to choose.

  How annoying!

  After watching Feng Qingbai leave, Feng Mohan sat on the long desk sulkily. He raised his hand and swept all the piles of memorials to the ground.

  ”Someone!”

  A eunuch outside the door ran in immediately. “What’s Your Majesty’s order?”

  ”Pick up those things from the ground.”

  ”Understood!” The ground was in a mess, but it only took the eunuch a moment to quickly tidy them up. Before exiting, he lowered his head and reminded him, “Your Majesty, Concubine Ning is still waiting outside.”

  Feng Mohan sneered. “Then let her wait.”

  He was pressured to give a title to the noble daughter of the Liu family, Liu Ningfei. She seriously relied on Consort Liu’s backing and often came to brush her presence in front of him!

  Charming, simple, cute?

  Let him watch how long she could pretend!

  Feng Qingbai hurried back to Xinliu Manor all the way and comforted several elders in person.

  With him around, his words topped Liu Yusheng and Fu Yuzheng, who took turns to console them for the most part of the day.

  At the same time, rumors in the capital were in full swing again.

  The drama of the two Liu families has become the most attention-grabbing event for the people in the capital recently.

  The after-tea conversation starter was always the matter between the two Liu families.

  They speculated as to when the Liu family branch would be included in the main clan.

  Naturally, there were some people who could guess the thoughts of the Liu family in the capital.

  The Lius stirred such a big battle. Was it really because they couldn’t bear to leave a family branch out?

  It was a high-sounding reason indeed, but on the flip side they wanted to use this to pocket all the wealth of the Liu family branch.

  If the Liu family branch was genuinely just a peasant family, would they still bother?
