“Elder Grain, why are you here?” Feng Yanfeng asked gingerly.
Elder Grain bellowed at him, “Feng Yanfeng, you’re heartless! Do you know what day it is today? It’s Xiao Wu’s birthday! You left her alone in her courtyard. Is that what an uncle is supposed to do? Why am I here? I’m celebrating her birthday!”
Feng Yanfeng didn’t even dare to wipe off the spit that was on his face.
He was scared out of his wits when he heard what Elder Grain said.
If he was celebrating Feng Wu’s birthday, that meant that he had to be very close to Feng Wu.
“That’s right. We’re here for Xiao Wu’s birthday.” Elder Jing came out and stood next to Elder Grain.
Elder Jing?!
Feng Yanfeng’s pupils contracted.
Elder Grain was known for his mood swings and wasn’t exactly a reliable character. Elder Jing, on the other hand, was very level-headed.
Feng Yanfeng’s heart sank when he heard what Elder Jing said.
Dugu Menghai glanced at Feng Yanfeng.
Their plan was to get Feng Wu to sign the agreement. After that, he would arrest her and put her in jail. Once there, she would soon be executed.
But now, the two elders were involved
Dugu Menghai nodded to them and briefly showed them his token. “I’m sorry to have ruined your evening, but Feng Wu has committed a serious crime, and I have to take her away. Now —”
“Oh my, listen to that authoritative tone. So it’s you, Vice-captain Dugu.” Feng Xun walked out with a grin on his face.
Feng Xun?!
Dugu Menghai frowned.
Feng Xun was the young lord of Northern Feng Mansion. Despite his prestigious status, he didn’t have much actual power. Therefore, Dugu Menghai didn’t feel intimidated.
What worried him was Feng Xun’s friend, Jun Linyuan.
If he was here, would Jun Linyuan be inside as well?
No. Dugu Menghai shook his head. If the crown prince really was visiting someone, it had to be Zuo Qingluan. Why would he be here in Fallen Star Yard?
Therefore, he said matter-of-factly, “Young Lord Feng, Feng Wu’s crime is punishable by death, and that’s beyond you! Please move aside!”
Feng Xun smiled. “What crime is it? Tell me about it. Otherwise, I won’t let you leave even if you want to.”
Dugu Menghai said, “Feng Xun, are you obstructing official business now?!”
Feng Xun cupped his fists to show respect to the authority Dugu Menghai represented before he said, “‘m the most loyal member of the court, why would I do such a thing? The problem is, I think you’re abusing your power for personal gain!”
Dugu Menghai glared at Feng Xun.. “The Zuo family is looking everywhere for you! You should be at their party now!”
