Chapter 41 You also want to sell your sister-in-law [Please read]

In front of the steps, Na Yingmei smiled bitterly with her peach blossom eyes, then stepped forward and gently hugged her: "Aunt, Feng'er has finally waited for you to come home."

"..."

Hearing this, Shi Fengque's emotions suddenly burst out, and he hugged her and choked up, "Grown up, my Fengguan has really grown up."

The nose of her peach blossom eyes was a little sour, but she still forced a smile and said, "Aunt, don't cry when we get home. I'm already an adult, it's embarrassing."

"I miss you."

Shi Fengque was like a child, crying and laughing while gesturing with his hands:
"The last time I saw you, you were only that old, and in the blink of an eye you've grown taller than me - but not much taller, and you don't look like a man. Do you usually don't eat well?"

"..."

Shi Fengguan pursed his lips with an extremely helpless look on his face. He stayed there and waited until her emotions calmed down. Only then did the second phoenix of the Shi family turn around and enter the mansion.

As we looked along the way, we saw that many courtyards and pavilions had been abandoned due to lack of human presence for a long time. Withered and yellow weeds could be seen in the cracks between the bricks and in the attics, and some doors and window frames had even fallen to the ground.

"Why is the house like this?"

Shi Fengque asked absentmindedly, "Even if things have gotten worse over the years, it shouldn't have gotten to this point."

The West Mansion, no, the Shi Mansion, when she was in favor, was on par with a prince's palace. Not to mention the gardens and lakes, there were also gardens for rare animals and ten-meter-high viewing towers. Not counting her family, there were nearly a thousand servants and slaves alone.

"When I was the only one left at home, I dismissed all the servants. Not only could I not afford to support them, but it was also too boring to live alone."

Shi Fengguan pointed to a pavilion not far away and said, "But I heard that you were able to leave the palace to visit your parents, so I cleared out the boudoir where you used to live, and it's still the same as before."

"..."

Even though things have changed and people have changed, there is still a little bit of the old days. Gazing at the old place, Shi Fengque's clear eyes couldn't help but become a little dazed.

"The Shi family will depend on you from now on."

She took Shi Fengguan's hand and said gently, "I will find a way to leave the palace and return home in the future. Your parents are not here, and I can't let you be alone."

After saying this, she couldn't help but think of a certain "little thief" in her mind. If she wanted to leave the palace, she would probably have to find a way to get rid of him. If he threatened her at that time -

Shi Fengque shook his head hurriedly, then looked at the person beside him with a slightly red face: "Feng Guan, have you met a girl you like in these years? If so, I will help you think of a way."

"..."

As for the girls she likes, there really isn't one. As for the men, she doesn't like most of them either, so she should have answered straightforwardly.

But the eyes closed, the brows and features of the man with his head resting on the couch appeared, and suddenly touched the lake of her heart, causing ripples to spread out.

It was only a moment before Shi Fengguan calmed down again: "No, aunt, I'm still young and don't want to think about this now."

"A man should focus on his career. I heard that you are already the governor."

"..."

"how?"

Shi Fengque looked puzzled and said, "I met Commander Wei of your headquarters. Didn't he take good care of you?"

The emotions that had just calmed down were turbulent again, and Shi Fengguan said with an unnatural expression: "It's okay, he's fine, let's go over first."

"..."

Shi Fengque was about to ask Wei Mingqi about his daily life, but someone came out from the building. Her expression suddenly changed, and she turned to look at Shi Fengguan:

"Why is he here?"

"Auntie, look at what you said."

Shi Fan walked forward with a stiff smile, but still remained affectionate: "Aren't we still family no matter what? You are out of the palace to visit your relatives, so can't I come to see you and Brother Feng'er?" In front of him, Shi Fengguan nodded calmly and said: "You are my second uncle's child, so you can come to our house, but if you continue to instigate our aunt to get married, you don't have to come in the future."

"I understand, Brother Feng."

Shi Fengque said no more when he saw this. After all, they were members of the Shi family. As long as they knew when to stop, the relative could still continue to get along with them despite their difficulties.

Not long after, at the dining table in the inner room, after a few glasses of wine, Shi Fan started talking about family affairs in the southwest. When he mentioned his second brother and his wife, Shi Fengque couldn't help but look stunned.

The person she hated the most in the whole family used to be her second brother, who often relied on the family's influence to do evil things outside. But so many years have passed, and the family members are separated. Now when she thinks of them again, only those bits of warmth are left.

"It's good that my second brother and his wife are doing well over there. You are still young. Fengguan can help you when you return to Guanzhong. Don't think of taking shortcuts. Only by taking solid steps can you walk steadily."

Shi Fengque, his eyes softened, tried to persuade him again.

Shi Fan's expression flickered, and he said hesitantly: "Aunt, my nephew has never thought of selling you, but Liu Hou is a majestic and extraordinary person, and my nephew is also--"

Snapped!
Shi Fengque threw the cup and looked at him coldly: "How dare you say this in front of the ancestors in the ancestral temple? You are blindly counting on women for wealth and glory, are you still a man?!"

"Aunt——"

"he's drunk."

Shi Fengguan, who had been busy urging people to drink, now started to make excuses: "Shi Fan, go out and wash your hands and face to calm down."

"..."

After he left, Shi Fengque turned around with red eyes and said, "Feng'er, are you going to sell my aunt too?"

If even her eldest brother's child, Feng Guan, whom she had seen jumping and dancing, was sold for a high price, then her heart would be broken.

"Aunt, he came to my house today."

Shi Fengguan stood up and said, "I reek of alcohol. I can't drink any more. I'll go change my clothes. Don't be angry."

"..."

Shi Fan walked back on the deserted corridor with a sullen face. Thinking of what had happened in the past two days, his anger grew stronger.

What a shitty aunt-in-law, she doesn't even treat him as a relative.

She pretends to be so noble and chaste. That old man sent her into the palace, which was selling a girl for fame and fortune. How could she have nothing to say at that time?
I paid the price of my entire family's death to return to Guanzhong this time, and was about to become the Marquis' most valued confidant, but that woman actually dared to hinder his wealth and glory!
Suddenly.

"who!"

He stopped and stared at a figure around the corner.

"My Lord asks you how the mission went."

The man turned around, revealing a strange, sinister face, and spoke in a very unfriendly tone:
"You don't have many chances."

"..."

Do you have to be so anxious? Why did you send someone when he hasn't even returned yet?

"Please let the Marquis rest assured when you go back."

Shi Fan suppressed his impatience and said respectfully, "We just met this morning. My uncle's eldest brother is someone who can be won over. He was liked by my aunt when he was a child. If we try to persuade him together, the stone can be talked into a good state."

The sinister man said nothing when he heard this. He just looked at him deeply and then tapped his toes lightly, and his figure floated onto the eaves and disappeared.

This time when he returned to Beijing, he made many mistakes. Shi Fan knew that he didn't have much chance. If he couldn't make things work with that woman again -

"Aunt, don't blame me for being cruel in the future."
