Feng Jin sensed something was amiss and was afraid that Feng Gui was going to write the divorce papers.
Although he did not have a good impression of this sister-in-law, if he divorced her, it would involve his brother's family affairs … Feng Jin did not care whether Feng Ming divorced his wife or not, but if the reason was because of Changsheng, Feng Jin could not sit back and do nothing.
Feng Gui could tell that Feng Jin was worried. He sighed and said, "Don't think too much. It has nothing to do with immortality."
After saying this, he apologized to Feng Ren and his wife.
Madame Feng-Du was the wife of a noble family. Divorcing was not only a matter between husband and wife, but also a big deal for the whole Feng Family.
Feng Gui was not the clan leader yet. This matter would certainly cause some trouble for Feng Ren.
Madam Feng helped him up. "It's been hard on my son. In the end, it's all my fault, choosing such an unreliable person."
Madam Feng-Du had a good reputation in Zhongzhao, and her family background was also strong. From this, it could be inferred that her knowledge, upbringing, and virtue were definitely not weak. Madam Feng had also noticed these points, which was why she had included Madam Feng-Du as a key candidate. After a few rounds of investigation, Madam Feng-Du was indeed outstanding.
Who would have known that there was such a huge difference in the national conditions of Zhongzhao and Dongqing? Even the standards of aristocratic ladies were as different as heaven and earth?
Feng Gull hurriedly said, "I'm unfilial. I didn't cultivate my inner qi, and I've troubled you many times … Now, it's time for an end."
Feng Gui could tolerate Madam Feng-Du's small problems. They were merely greedy, power-hungry, jealous and narrow-minded. The Feng family was wealthy and she was the matriarch of the clan. In the end, she would definitely be the one in charge of the clan's finances. Feng Gui was very indifferent to such matters. Before entering the clan, Madam Feng-Du had never had a servant. After entering the clan, she had never taken a concubine. As time passed, she would understand. As for narrow-mindedness … as long as it did not affect official business, it was fine.
He had hinted a few times, but the other party had turned a deaf ear.
Did he think Feng Gui wouldn't want to correct him?
Feng Gui tried a few times, but the other party pretended to be blind or repeatedly made mistakes. What could he do?
He didn't give her any face and pointed it out in front of outsiders?
Husband and wife were one. If he didn't give Madam Feng-Du the respect and face she deserved, what was the difference between that and slapping himself in public?
It was useless for Feng Ge to talk to her in private, and it was also useless for her to ask her mother for advice. His understanding only made her more arrogant.
He didn't mind Madam Feng-Du's family background and appearance, but her manner of speech, upbringing, and knowledge had to be up to standard.
If she couldn't even do these things, she would only harm the next generation of the Feng Clan if she continued to sit on the position of the matriarch!
Feng Gui had thought that even if she couldn't be a good wife, she could at least be a good mother.
The result?
His two sons' fingernails had not been trimmed for a long time and the gaps between their nails were filled with black stains. Feng Gui could even imagine Madam Feng-Du cursing and neglecting her two young sons. Don't throw the blame on the servants. Even your own mother didn't do her best, how could you expect a group of servants to be considerate? Feng Gui was utterly disappointed in Feng Gui. His subordinates were incompetent and his mother was heartless.
He picked up his pen and wrote a letter of separation instead of a letter of divorce to save the faces of both families.
Feng Jin's lips trembled as he tried to persuade him. However, his elder brother had already made up his mind, so there was no point in trying to persuade him.
Changsheng was keenly aware that the atmosphere among the adults was not quite right. She sobbed softly and nestled in Wei Jingxian's arms, not daring to cry.
After finishing the last stroke, Feng Gui's expression was as dark as ink.
"Bobo?" No one knew when, but Changsheng had left Wei Jingxian's embrace and moved to Feng Gui's side. She raised her hand and tugged at his sleeve, looking as if she had done something wrong. Feng Gui sighed and stroked Changsheng's little braid.
On the matter of the children, Madam Feng-Du was at fault, and so was he.
His eldest son was three years old and his youngest son was two years old. They were both legitimate sons and older than Changsheng, but they were not as strong as her.
"Uncle apologizes to Changsheng on behalf of my two younger cousins. Don't make them angry, okay?" Feng Gui said gently, "They are older than Changsheng, but they did not fulfill their duties as brothers. Uncle will punish them when we get back. When they realize their mistake, they will apologize to Changsheng. "
Changsheng nodded and grunted in agreement. Her tear-stained face revealed a silly smile.
Seeing this, Feng Gui felt even more emotional.
His younger sister-in-law was a good person, taking good care of the children and family.
Feng Jin was rather worried, afraid that this matter would become a thorn in the side between the brothers.
Madam Feng-Du waited in the room for a long time until Feng Gui returned under the dim moonlight.
"Lang, Langjun …"
Thinking of what had happened, Madam Feng-Du's confidence faltered.
Feng Gui said, "Sit down, let's talk."
Feng Gui was educated to respect his wife. As long as there were no accidents, the husband and wife would be bound together for life. For the sake of family harmony, adequate communication was very important. When they had just gotten married, he would often find time to talk to Madam Feng-Du and get to know her better.
But what happened in the end?
Madam Feng-Du ended the conversation the moment she opened her mouth.
After a few times, Feng Gui, who was hot headed, calmed down. The relationship between husband and wife was only superficial.
Madam Feng-Du sat opposite him, feeling uneasy. She secretly observed Feng Gui's expression as she apologized.
"Langjun, what happened today was indeed your servant's fault …"
Feng Gui said, "Changsheng is at most one and a half years old. As her eldest aunt, as an elder, you were not kind to the younger generation. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Madam Feng-Du's face turned pale, as if it had been painted with a layer of white paint.
Previously, she was the one who ended the conversation. This time, it was Feng Gui.
"This, isn't this younger sister-in-law's fault for not raising her daughter well? Changsheng is young, but precisely because she is young, she needs to be properly raised. "
Feng Gui said with a cold expression, "By properly raised, you mean you instigated your son to bully her?"
Madam Feng-Du widened her eyes in shock, looking frightened.
Feng Gui laughed coldly and said, "There's no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world, not to mention the Feng residence where there are many mouths. As the wife of a noble family, you are not strict enough with your subordinates. The maidservants you bribed confessed everything with a little trick. It's been more than four years, why haven't you improved at all? "
Madam Feng-Du was embarrassed and speechless. Her heart was filled with fear and anxiety. "Your servant, your servant …"
"Did I reprimand you for slapping Cuiyun?"
Cuiyun was Feng Gui's personal maidservant. She had been betrothed a year or two ago.
Because of her good looks, Madam Feng-Du, who looked calm, was jealous of her and slapped her twenty times in public, almost killing her.
At the mention of Cuiyun, Madam Feng-Du seemed to gain some confidence.
"Langjun did not reprimand me, but he did say a few words. Furthermore, was Langjun's protection of that vixen fake?"
Feng Gui retorted, "That was a maidservant who took care of me for a whole fifteen years. People's hearts are made of flesh. Do you wish for me to be a cold-hearted and heartless person?"
She had already been betrothed to someone whom Feng Gui valued. There was no reason for Madam Feng-Du to be jealous.
Forget it … talking was too tiring.
After chatting for a while, they still ended up talking to each other.
Feng Gui took out a bamboo tube from his sleeve. It was covered with incense. "Take it."
Madam Feng-Du was stunned. She received it with trembling hands and opened it to take a look. She immediately collapsed to the ground, the pearls and jade on her head scattered all over the floor.
