Feng Jin took a deep breath and asked bluntly.
"Your so-called true temperament is to drag you down with me when I get into trouble?"
This annoying little brother of his should grow up a little. How could he count the money after being sold?
Huang Song and Fang Pangzi led their men to fight each other. Regardless of whether they won or lost, both sides would have a sense of propriety. No lives would be lost. At most, they would just embarrass themselves.
However, Huang Song shouted, "Brother Jue, quickly come and save me!" Feng Jue, who was supposed to stay out of this matter, was dragged into it.
To put it bluntly, with Feng Jue's little bit of martial arts, he would only be sending himself to die if he went over. What help could he provide?
Not only did Feng Jin dislike Huang Song for being a eunuch, but he also despised him for dragging Feng Jue into the mire.
Just this action alone was enough for Feng Jin to defame Huang Song for a lifetime.
Feng Jue did not speak. Feng Jin snorted coldly and asked, "Don't be vague about the main point. Answer me. Without Lanting's help, how would you have ended up today? Third Brother, this is Shangjing. There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers everywhere. You are not allowed to act recklessly. "
When he thought of Fang Pangzi's previous request for a bet, he was so angry that his chest hurt. What made him even more upset was that Feng Jue had agreed to it immediately.
This brat shouldn't have been released at all.
Feng Jue, on the other hand, had a good temper. He smiled and said, "Don't be angry, Second Brother. Bogao won't let me be humiliated."
After Feng Jin heard this, he seemed to have thought of something. His expression became strange and conflicted, like an overturned palette.
His fingers trembled, afraid that he would hear some strange words from his younger brother's mouth.
Jiang Pengji could tell that the two brothers were talking the same language. She could not help but laugh. She coughed lightly to attract their attention.
"What Huaijie wants to say is that Huang Song has the intention to rope him in. Regardless of whether it's a ploy to gain Huaijie's trust, he will try his best to protect Huaijie even if he is humiliated," Jiang Pengji explained, dispelling the terrifying thought in Feng Jin's mind.
Feng Jue revealed a relaxed smile and nodded. "That's right."
Rather than saying that Huang Song had asked Feng Jue for help, it was more like Feng Jue was testing Huang Song to see how magnanimous he was.
Even without Jiang Pengji's help, Feng Jue was confident that he could escape unscathed. His brother was worrying too much.
Feng Jin had a lot to say, but he didn't know where to start.
Feng Jin's face darkened. "You shouldn't have dragged Lanting into this. What would you have done if you had not called out Lanting but some other innocent person? That Fang Langjun has always been a playboy. His actions can't be judged by common sense. Can you guarantee that everything is under control? "
It was one thing for him to scam his own brother, but now he even scammed his brother's good friend. Who taught such a brat?
Feng Jue blinked uneasily and said with a faint smile, "If I didn't recognize Brother Lanting, I wouldn't have messed around, would I?"
It was precisely because he had recognized it that he was fearless.
Feng Jin understood what his younger brother meant. His heart was burning with anger.
According to his words, if he recognized it, then he deserved to be tricked?
"You're the son of the Feng family, and he's merely the descendant of a eunuch … Huaijie, what exactly do you want?"
He knew that his younger brother had a wide range of friends and did not care about family status, but Feng Jue's behavior gave him a bad feeling.
Feng Jin criticized Huang Song's background, but Feng Jue did not comment.
This in itself was Huang Song's shortcoming, and it was also a stain that could not be erased. Although what Feng Jin said was the truth, Feng Jue did not like his brother's habit of judging one's status based on one's family background. As they grew older, the contradiction and division between them became more serious.
"The founding Emperor of Dongqing was an escaped slave, and he even worked as a coachman. The Feng family is also an official, but I don't see my brother saying anything about this."
Suddenly, Feng Jue sneered, and the atmosphere instantly dropped to a freezing point.
Were these two brothers preparing to fight?
As the saying goes, one should not wash one's dirty linen in public. It was better to bring the naughty child home and teach him a lesson.
Feng Jin suppressed his anger and returned to his usual calm and gentle self.
He apologized to Jiang Pengji solemnly, thinking that he would deal with the naughty child when they got back.
"My youngest brother is naughty and mischievous. I've embarrassed myself in front of you."
"Huaiyu, don't be angry. Huaijie is still young and insensible. He will be fine when he's older."
Jiang Pengji did not take the matter to heart.
She even had a good impression of Feng Jue.
However, this brat really needed a beating!
After a meeting, they parted on bad terms.
After the Feng brothers left, Xu Ke was still deep in thought. Jiang Pengji asked him, "Are you still thinking about Huaiyu and Huaijie?"
Xu Ke said, "A few years ago, I had a few conversations with Feng Langjun. He is not the kind of person who is fixated on family status. Why is he now …"
Jiang Pengji said, "First of all, people change. Huaiyu is now a young man, not an immature boy. How can his thinking remain the same? Secondly, he is not fixated on family status, nor does he look down on people who are not part of the aristocratic families. He just doesn't like Huang Song. "
Xu Ke was stunned. "But just now …"
"Xiaoyu, let's say you have a younger brother. In your eyes, this younger brother is still young and inexperienced, and he needs the protection of an elder brother. One day, a ruffian came from outside. He looked down on everyone from head to toe, but it was this kind of ruffian that made your brother think highly of him. As the elder brother, how could you feel good about it? "Jiang Pengji explained with a faint smile," That ruffian was Huang Song. "
Xu Ke was silent.
As an only child, he did not understand the thoughts of a younger brother.
"Huaiyu does not approve of Huaijie and Huang Song's friendship. It is for the good of this younger brother. No matter how many olive branches Huang Song's godfather extended to the aristocratic families, whether they are neutral or fence-sitters, as long as the Emperor is wary of the aristocratic families, Huang Song and Huaijie will stand against each other. What's the use of a close personal relationship? One may know a person's face but not his heart. Who knows what kind of person Huang Song is behind the scenes? "
Xu Ke sighed after hearing that. "In that case, Feng Langjun has put a lot of thought into it."
"However, he can't stand his younger brother's rebelliousness. Huaijie's first impression of Huaiyu is the strongest, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to change it. Moreover … Huaiyu is indeed prejudiced by family status. This is a common problem among the sons of aristocratic families, and it is also normal. In the eyes of others, Huaijie is a bit of a weirdo. "
Xu Ke recalled what Feng Jue said before and nodded in agreement.
"It's just a pity …"
Jiang Pengji was suspicious. "What's a pity?"
"That Fengsan Langjun's temperament is compatible with you, Langjun."
They were both rebellious. They were born into the aristocratic families, but they did not have a high sense of identity with their social class. They had strong self-awareness.
"Tsk, let's not. If I abduct Huaiyu's precious younger brother, do you think Huaiyu will hate me? "
Xu Ke was silent. Thinking of Feng Jin's younger brother complex, he felt that it was hard to say.
Jiang Pengji brought Xu Ke around the night market. They bought big and small bags of gifts. Not only did they hang all over her hands, but they also hung a lot around her neck.
Fang Pangzi, who had been beaten up by Jiang Pengji, limped home with the help of the thugs.
Before he even stepped into the house, he was already bawling with tears and snot in his eyes.
