88: Your family is still so traditional
The members of the Feng Family were equally filled with emotion.
Feng Xiaotian, in particular, was beaming with gratification.
"With a descendant like Minger who is both wise and brave, my Feng Family finally has a successor and hope for a rise to power."
Eldest Uncle and Eldest Uncle's Wife were also deeply moved.
"Minger truly is a case of 'not singing for years, but once he does, he startles the world.' Second Brother chose an excellent name for him."
Feng Muyang didn't speak, but his eyes were full of relief; when he looked up at the sky, the rims of his eyes were slightly red.
Clearly, he was thinking of Feng Ming's mother.
Feng Ming was unaware of the many thoughts running through the Feng Family's minds; at this moment, his gaze fell upon the pale-faced Luo Meng.
"From the moment you decided to send your parents into the Huangfu Family, their life and death were no longer yours to decide, were they?"
Luo Meng gave a bitter smile.
"I didn't want it to be this way, but as you said, this world isn't black and white. What you know how to exploit, the Huangfu Family naturally understands as well."
"There are many things they cannot conveniently do in the open, so they naturally need people like us who live in the shadows to do them."
Feng Ming nodded. "Let's not talk about the Huangfu Family for now. Just tell me how you intend to choose. I've already analyzed the situation for you; do you still stick to your previous choice?"
After Feng Ming finished speaking, he said no more.
He had said everything he needed to say, and the situation was analyzed very clearly. How to choose was up to the man himself.
Luo Meng remained silent for a long while before finally sighing. "You seem to be letting me choose, but do I even have a choice?"
"I agree to your request, but I will remain silent. I will not refute your claims, nor will I admit to them."
"Even if they might no longer trust me, they know that as long as my parents are safe, I will always be under their control. I won't give up on my parents until the very end!"
Feng Ming nodded.
He had already anticipated what Luo Meng said. From beginning to end, he never expected to rely on Luo Meng to say anything.
In fact, his goal was precisely for Luo Meng to keep his mouth shut.
Only then, the more piteously the Huangfu Family complained, the fewer people would actually believe them.
"Fine. Since you've agreed, then everything is easy to discuss."
Feng Ming breathed a sigh of relief and immediately began making arrangements.
"Chun Tao, arrange a room for Lord Luo."
"Yes!"
Chun Tao hurried down to make the arrangements.
Feng Ming turned to Luo Meng and said, "For now, you should rest here for a bit."
Feng Ming was very clear about the power of that strike just now.
At this moment, the True Qi inside Luo Meng's body was in chaos; he posed no threat at all.
In fact, he wouldn't be able to lift a finger for at least half a month.
Feng Ming wasn't worried at all about him pulling any tricks behind the scenes.
After settling Luo Meng, Feng Ming turned to look at Feng Xiaotian.
"Grandfather, are you all alright? You've been startled tonight."
"Now that the matter is resolved, you should all go back and rest early."
Feng Xiaotian waved his hand, his Face full of smiles. "It's fine, it's fine!"
Tonight had indeed been exhausting.
But he had also seen the hope for the Feng Family's rise.
In comparison, this bit of hardship was nothing.
However, it was indeed getting late.
He chatted briefly with Feng Ming and then left.
Lu Qianqian stood to the side. Seeing Feng Ming handle Luo Meng's affairs and then his family matters, she couldn't help but sigh with admiration.
"Big Sister, you are truly blessed to have found such an incredible man."
"He has strategy, he has the physique, he's powerful, and his talent is extraordinary. He's simply one of a kind in this world."
"I'm honestly tired of being envious. Why can't I meet a perfect man like this?"
Lu An'an laughed upon hearing this.
"What? Do you like your Brother-in-law?"
Lu Qianqian's pretty Face instantly turned red, and she hurriedly waved her hands.
"Big Sister, you can't just say things like that! I don't, I definitely don't, I really don't!"
"I... I just simply admire him. You know, I've always admired the strong. Brother-in-law is so amazing, of course I look up to him."
"Big Sister, you won't overthink it, right?"
Lu An'an smiled.
"I'm not overthinking. You just like your Brother-in-law!"
"Big Sister... I..."
Lu Qianqian was speechless and hurriedly tried to cover it up.
"I really just admire him. He's my Brother-in-law, how could I like him?"
"But since Brother-in-law is so excellent, I wonder if there are any other men as outstanding as him around. If there are, you could introduce me to someone like him."
"People say birds of a feather flock together. Since Brother-in-law is so great, the people around him certainly won't be bad."
Hearing this, Lu An'an looked at Feng Mian nearby.
"Why don't you try getting to know his elder brother?"
Lu Qianqian looked over at Feng Mian.
Feng Mian had been listening intently.
When Lu An'an mentioned him, he immediately straightened his back and even smoothed his hair.
He was feeling exceptionally good about himself.
Seeing this, Lu Qianqian's Face was instantly filled with disdain.
"Brother-in-law is a master of both the pen and the sword, with extraordinary intellect, but his elder brother... is simply hard to describe."
"These two don't look like blood brothers at all. They're both from the Feng Family, but the gap between them isn't just a little bit."
Hearing this, Feng Mian almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"What's wrong with me? I'm very excellent too, okay?"
The other members of the Feng Family also overheard.
Eldest Uncle Feng Muqing looked embarrassed.
He immediately found an excuse to slip away.
"Everyone, it's late. We'll head back to rest now."
After saying that, he pulled Feng Muyang and Eldest Uncle's Wife to leave.
After walking a few steps, Eldest Uncle's Wife pulled her hand away from Feng Muqing and said, "Now that your son is being looked down upon, you know your Face can't take it. What were you doing earlier!"
Feng Muqing was very helpless. "The child is disappointing, but that's not my fault!"
Feng Muyang was about to try and persuade the two.
After all, they were at an advanced age; it wouldn't look good if they started arguing.
As a result, before he could speak, Eldest Uncle's Wife's indignant voice rang out.
"It's indeed not your fault, it's mine. I didn't realize either that even though they are both Feng Family members, the difference would be so great. If I had known your seed was so poor, back then, even if I had to be a concubine, I should have married your younger brother."
Feng Muyang was dumbfounded. How did he get dragged into this?
It was something from so long ago, yet it could still be brought up.
He hurriedly waved his hands and said, "My dear Sister-in-law, you can't just say things like that!"
Lu An'an and Lu Qianqian were both shocked when they heard this.
Lu Qianqian's eyes widened as she exclaimed.
"Wow, this is too explosive! So your Feng Family actually has a tradition of marrying sisters-in-law."
"I thought you were the one who started it, Brother-in-law, but it turns out your father was the one. Your family's traditions are truly quite rare."
