Feng Zhen was nicknamed Prodigal Feng.
His life philosophy was: Joy should be enjoyed in time, how could it be delayed?
This was a free and unruly wastrel who was particular about carpe diem.
Others laughed at him for being deviant and not knowing what "etiquette" was. He laughed at others for working hard all their lives and never having a day of true joy.
Such a prodigal naturally couldn't be expected to live a nine-to-five life. It was already good enough that he wasn't caught skipping work every day.
However —
The situation wasn't right in the past two days. Had Prodigal Feng been possessed by someone or something? He actually didn't leave early or arrive late?
No —
Not only did he not leave early or arrive late, but he also arrived early and left late. His brows were full of nervousness and alertness, and his nerves were stretched taut.
"Could it be that the situation at the frontline is tense?"
Even Prodigal Feng, who had always been unrestrained and calm, was so serious. Was it because the situation at the frontline wasn't right?
When Feng Zhen wasn't paying attention, such rumors quietly spread, causing many fence-sitters to panic. Finally, it reached the ears of the lord, Jiang Pengji. She frowned. As the lord, she was the clearest about the situation at the frontline. The enemy couldn't withstand a single blow.
The situation wasn't tense, and the provisions and logistics were in place. No matter how she looked at it, this battle was a sleeping victory.
What was Feng Zhen up to all of a sudden, making everyone so restless?
Seeing that the rumors were getting more and more exaggerated, Jiang Pengji couldn't help but grab Feng Zhen and ask him about it.
"Why haven't you been to Nü Lü recently to drink and watch dances? The lady boss of the tavern you frequent is still thinking about your money pouch. "
Feng Zhen: "???"
The two of them stared at each other. Feng Zhen suddenly revealed a little grievance that made one's heart ache.
This time, it was Jiang Pengji's turn to be confused.
She reflected on herself and didn't find any problems with her words. Did it agitate Feng Zhen?
The person who went to Nü Lü all day to drink and watch dances was indeed Feng Zhen. The lady boss of the tavern was also concerned about his money pouch.
He used to be radiant when he talked about these things. Why did he look as if he had offended an innocent woman?
"My Lord, I'm afraid I won't be able to go again," Feng Zhen muttered. "Please don't urge me to go again."
As Feng Zhen's gang of scoundrels, it was perfectly normal for them to go to the Women's Den to drink and watch a dance together. However, without the tools to commit the crime, Jiang Pengji wouldn't stay there overnight. Ever since they got married, Feng Zhen's personality had changed. He only drank and didn't cross the line.
For the two of them, going to Nü Lu to drink was not so much because they were greedy for the wine there, but because they were greedy for the colors there.

Because of this, Feng Zhen was secretly scolded by many people — they said that he was a wastrel who had led the Lord astray.
Feng Zhen felt that he had been wronged. His lord was just an experienced driver who was familiar with the roads. Why would she need him to take her driving test?
Jiang Pengji said, "You've changed? Are you preparing to turn over a new leaf? "
Feng Zhen sighed. "My wife is pregnant. The doctor said that her pulse is not very stable."
Jiang Pengji understood.
So that was why. If that was the reason, she could understand Feng Zhen's choice.
It was fine if he wasn't serious normally, but he should pay attention to his wife's pregnancy. This was something he should do as a man.
However —
"That's not right. If your wife is pregnant, then why have you been leaving early and returning late? I won't increase your salary even if you work a few more hours a day. It's better to finish what you're doing early and go home to accompany your wife. " Jiang Pengji criticized Feng Zhen. "Do you know how much of a joke you've made with your recent series of abnormal actions? Everyone thought that Feng Langzi was acting out of character because the frontline was in a tight spot. There were so many people spreading rumors that even I almost believed them. When I investigated the source, it was actually you. "
Feng Zhen: "???"
How could she blame him for this?
She was pushing the blame too far!
Feng Zhen sighed. "It's precisely because my wife is pregnant that I don't dare to go back. After thinking about it, I can only help my lord relieve her of her burdens …"
Jiang Pengji raised her hand to stop Feng Zhen from bewitching her.
Out of ten words that came out of Feng Langzi's mouth, eight needed to be carefully considered to be true or false. The remaining two were false.
"Are you willing to be honest?"
Feng Zhen choked for a moment and said with grievance, "It's true that my wife is pregnant that I don't dare to return to the manor."
Jiang Pengji didn't quite understand.
Feng Zhen was old, his knees were weak, and his body wasn't very healthy. His wife was pregnant after much difficulty, so he should be ecstatic.
This was so abnormal — could it be that the child belonged to Old Wang next door?
Jiang Pengji couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and recall which family lived next door to Feng Zhen's.
Feng Zhen saw the slight change in her expression and knew that his lord was mistaken. He had to explain in a low voice, "Before this, I had a son named Feng Yi. He was … the son that my first wife gave birth to at the cost of her life. Yi 'er has been intelligent and beautiful since he was young. His temperament is very similar to his mother's. "
Feng Zhen had a son before?
Jiang Pengji was very surprised because she didn't know about this before.
Listening to Feng Zhen's tone, this child should have died young.
It was indeed young, and the cause of death was related to Feng Zhen.
That year, Feng Zhen was addicted to Hanshi powder. The young Feng Yi didn't know the truth and happened to see Feng Zhen after taking Hanshi powder. He thought that something had happened to him and hurriedly went to find the housekeeper to save Feng Zhen. Who knew that in early spring, the rain would be plentiful and the moss would be lush. Little Feng Yi accidentally slipped off the stone steps and fell into the icy cold pond water. Although he was saved, he caught a serious cold that night and died of high fever.
Feng Zhen always thought that he was the cause of his son's death and felt regret for many years.
Sometimes, he would dream about this intelligent son in the middle of the night and couldn't help but cry when he woke up.
He gave up on the idea of having another child, and he was born weak and sickly, so he couldn't have one even if he wanted to.
A while ago, his wife, Wan Xiu 'er, shyly and timidly told him that she was pregnant. Feng Zhen felt his whole body go blank, as if a cold chill spread from the soles of his feet to his head. On the surface, he was ecstatic, but in his heart, there was an uncontrollable panic and fear.
Jiang Pengji was speechless.
"Are you afraid that you'll be cuckolded?"
As soon as she said this, the feelings that Feng Zhen had been brewing were instantly broken.
"What are you saying, my lord? My wife and I have a deep relationship, why would I suspect this?"
The sickly man wasn't someone who was born to be impotent. The low probability of pregnancy didn't mean that there was no possibility of winning.
The welfare lottery only had one in a hundred million. The probability was so low, but there was still the birth of the chosen one every season.
Feng Zhen had a son, Feng Yi, so naturally, he wouldn't think that he couldn't have a child. So what if his wife was pregnant? Must it be because of Old Wang next door? If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat his lord, Jiang Pengji, Feng Zhen would have fallen out with her on the spot. Goodbye, our friendship is over!!!
"Then why did you say that you were panicking and afraid? You said it yourself, I didn't force you to say it."
Feng Zhen was speechless.
Actually, that wasn't what Feng Zhen wanted to express.
"Your subject is indeed panicking and afraid — if this child can't be kept and dies —"
He had always thought that he wasn't fated to have children, so his first child, who was so good, was also killed by him.
With such a thought, Feng Zhen naturally felt an indescribable fear of having a second child.
He wasn't afraid of the child itself, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to keep this child.
He didn't dare to go back and face his wife for a long time, so he could only use work as an excuse to avoid her and give himself time and space to think things through. However, before he could understand this matter, his lord came first, and he even made a fool of himself.
Jiang Pengji also understood what Feng Zhen was conflicted about.
She said, "I come from a humble background, so I can't speak of any great principles — but there is one thing I understand. Since the child has set his sights on you and wants you to be his father after reincarnation, it means that he is satisfied with you — how can you let the child down?"
Feng Zhen couldn't help but complain, "My lord, what you said is quite touching."
Jiang Pengji said coldly, "I can say something even more touching. Do you want to hear it?"
Feng Zhen was speechless.
Jiang Pengji said, "I heard that pregnant women are sensitive and think a lot. You leave early and come back late all day, aren't you afraid that your wife will think too much? Maybe she thinks that you haven't changed, and that you took advantage of her inconvenience during her pregnancy to be seduced by a little demon outside? If the mother isn't good, the child will be even worse. "
Feng Zhen was speechless.
He had forgotten about this terrible thing!
That day, Jiang Pengji heard that Feng Zhen had left early again, an entire two hours early!
"This Feng Langzi is really getting more and more indecent. What if he delays the lord's business?"
Jiang Pengji glanced at the snitch.
"What else can we do? Deduct his salary. "
Deduct so much that this fellow can't even afford milk powder and diapers.
