"What do you mean by 'Liu Xi is not part of the Jiang family'?" Feng Gui had the illusion that he was going bald from worry. His brother's illness seemed to have worsened. He went straight to the point and asked, "Huaijie, tell me, what exactly do you think of the Duke of Lanting?"
Feng Jue himself could not explain it clearly. Rationally, he was more inclined towards Huang Song … Even if Huang Song had already been defeated and lost his lofty ambitions, he and Feng Jue had been friends for more than ten years, and they still maintained contact even now. On the other hand, Feng Jue was not familiar with the current Duke of Lanting, Liu Xi, let alone his position in Feng Jue's heart … However, when he recalled that frighteningly realistic dream, the usually decisive Feng Jue became uncertain again. The Feng Jue in the dream had initially given his all for the Jiang family. That dedication was even greater than what he felt for the current Huang Song …
A ridiculous dream could actually have such a huge impact on Feng Jue.
"The Duke of Lanting is naturally good. If he ascends to the throne in the future, he will definitely create an unprecedented prosperous dynasty …" As Feng Jue said this, fragmented scenes from the dream surfaced in his mind. The dynasty under the rule of the Jiang family was indeed very prosperous. The current Duke of Lanting, Liu Xi, would naturally be able to achieve that. "However, there are some things that I can't explain clearly. Isn't it not bad now?"
When Feng Gui heard this, he really wanted to open a hole in his brother's head and open it up to see what kind of trash was inside.
What did he mean by "Isn't it bad now?"
What the hell, how was it not bad?
Did he mean that he would stay at home all day and live off his parents and family?
The Feng family had used a lot of resources to nurture him. They didn't expect him to be extremely powerful, but he couldn't just stay at home and live off his parents, right?
Oh, Old Master Feng Ren had even retired. Currently, Feng Jue was living off his eldest brother, Feng Gui.
When Feng Gui thought about how he had to take care of his youngest brother's family while he was busy with family affairs, he felt terrible. It would be very embarrassing if word got out.
The third son of the Feng family had been known as a child prodigy since he was young, but after he grew up, he became mediocre.
Did Feng Jue want to become a classic example of what people said, "Growing up is not necessarily good"?
"Since it's so good, why are you still … Don't tell me you still think that Huang Bogao can make a comeback?" Feng Jin's eyes were sharp. It was as if if Feng Jue dared to nod, he would chop Huang Song with a knife and let his corpse lie on the street. As an introverted brother complex, Feng Jin had never liked Huang Song back then. Even if Huang Song tried to please him, he would not budge. Now, he hated Huang Song even more.
Feng Jue was shocked and hurriedly said, "Elder Brother, what are you talking about? If these words reach the ears of the Duke of Lanting, Bogao will be in trouble. "
Huang Song had already given up. If Jiang Pengji became suspicious because of Feng Jin's words, that would be a tragedy.
Feng Jin frowned and looked at his youngest brother with a pained expression.
You are a beautiful woman, yet you follow a thief.
Huang Song was a scumbag, okay?
Feng Jue did not know that his second brother was imagining so many things, so he had no choice but to lie.
"Now is not the time —"
Look, this excuse is exactly the same as the one Cheng Jing used back then.
Feng Jin asked, "When is the time?"
Feng Jue was quick-witted and immediately thought of a way to cover up the lie. With a solemn expression, he said, "I was unwilling to become an official in the past because of my old friendship with Bogao. Moreover, I did not have much contact with the Duke of Lanting, so I planned to wait and see. Now I am still unwilling … because I am worried about something. "
Both of his brothers had brother complex filters. They did not see that Feng Jue was prevaricating. Instead, they asked him with a serious face.
"What are you worried about?"
Feng Jue said, "You are highly regarded by the Duke of Lanting, and you have a youthful friendship …"
Feng Jin interrupted him. "If it is because of this, you don't have to worry. Will you and I care about this?"
He thought that Feng Jue said this because he was worried that the two brothers would have a conflict in the future.
They were of the same clan and had deep feelings for each other. They should support each other instead of opposing each other.
"That is not what I mean. I am saying that you are highly regarded by the Duke of Lanting. If he wants to recommend me to become an official, he can do it at any time. There is no hurry." Feng Jue shook his head and denied Feng Jin's words. He said, "I am worried that the Duke of Lanting's actions in the future will go against the original intentions of the Feng family. If that is the case, when the time comes, it will be too late for you to retreat. Why should I get involved in this mess? It is better to wait and see first. When the situation has stabilized, I will see what her intentions are. I am not in a hurry to become an official. "
According to the dream fragment, the Feng Jue in the dream had indeed walked a different path from the Emperor.
Feng Jin vaguely knew what his younger brother was talking about. He frowned.
At this moment, Feng Gui spoke.
"I will take care of the family matters. Why do you need to worry about it?"
When Feng Gui said this, he exuded the aura of an elder. Not only was he the elder brother of his two younger brothers, he was also their clan leader. How the family would develop in the future and what path to take were Feng Gui's worries. At the moment, it was not his two younger brothers' turn to "overstep their bounds".
Feng Gui was afraid that if he spoke too harshly, his two younger brothers would misunderstand and become distant from him.
He added, "As long as I am around, the Feng family will not make things difficult for you."
Unless there was an irreconcilable conflict between the survival of the family and his two younger brothers, Feng Gui would always support his younger brothers in their endeavors.
He was the elder brother, the clan leader, and most importantly, their backing.
When Feng Jue heard these words, a warm current flowed through his heart. It was as if this promise had transcended the barriers of time and space and was as precious as crossing mountains and rivers.
He could not help but think of Feng Jue in his dream.
That white-haired Feng Jue had sighed more than once.
If his two elder brothers were still alive, they would not have reached this stage.
Feng Jue was intelligent, but he was not suited to be the leader of the Shi clan. His personality was also not that sophisticated. He was unable to find a balance between the Emperor and the Shi clan. If it had been Feng Gui, with this elder brother's temperament and methods, the Feng family would have been able to remain calm regardless of the storm outside.
"Big Brother ~ ~ ~"
Feng Jue's voice was slightly muffled. That call was dragged out and sounded like he was acting coquettishly.
Feng Gui did not fall for this. With a cold expression, he asked, "What other concerns do you have? Tell me all at once."
Feng Jue: "…"
Wait a minute, now was not the time to be touched!!!
"The last one … is a little hard to say … it's not convenient to elaborate …"
Feng Jue revealed a rare look of embarrassment. Feng Gui and Feng Jue's alarm went off.
Wait a minute, what the hell was this look of a young man in love?
Feng Jin's mind immediately imagined the scene of his younger brother being pressed onto the ground and ravaged by Wei Ci while his lord cheered him on from the side.
Hence …
Feng Jin said very sternly, "Huaijie, no matter how willful you are, there is a limit. You have a family, you must not do anything that will ruin the family's reputation!!!"
Was he courting death?
He had a wife, a son, and a daughter, yet he dared to cheat on his lord mentally. Did he think of his lord as a lowly person?
If Feng Jue dared to have such thoughts, Wei Ci did not have to do anything. Feng Jin would first beat his younger brother to death and bury him on the spot so that his mother could give birth to another one.
Feng Jue: "???"
He only wanted to be friends with Lanting and get to know each other better. How was that ruining the family's reputation?
