Chapter 2097 Hongmen Banquet
Chapter 2097 Hongmen Banquet
Soon, all the dignitaries in the city received the invitation from the Feng family.
When Wan Shufang saw it, she couldn't help but be a little surprised. She didn't expect that the Feng family would actually send invitations to both her and Chen Changli.
"It looks like this is another Hongmen Banquet." Wan Shufang knew that Master Feng appeared kind on the surface, but was actually ruthless.
He was able to send the post here, I think he was holding a grudge. That day, two people gave Yan Que An some advice.
At the same time, it was also a warning to the two of them. The Feng family knew their whereabouts very well.
"Feng Yaotiao is aloof and arrogant, and she wants to marry Yan Que'an. This is no longer just a matter of marriage between the two families, but a matter of the reputation of the two families."
“If the Yan family goes, it will be equivalent to telling others that they still have to continue to get along with the Feng family.”
"If I don't go, it will be like a complete breakup. When two tigers fight, one will inevitably get hurt. Master Yan will not allow the two families to never have any contact with each other again."
Chen Changli's words made the relationship between the two families clear.
"Then shall we go?"
Chen Changli nodded silently, "Of course I have to go, it's just a formality, it's nothing."
"By the way, the weather is nice today. Madam, would you like to go with me?"
As he spoke, Chen Changli extended his hand to Wan Shufang with an expectant look on his face.
Although Wan Shufang didn't know what he was up to, she was still glad that Chen Changli was willing to spend time and effort on her.
After dinner that evening, Wan Shufang followed Chen Changli out, found a secluded place, and sat on the hillside to watch the stars.
This was the first time I felt so comfortable in a while, but when I came back, I heard someone calling for help.
After some searching, they finally found a little girl trapped in a deep pit.
"This should be a trap left by the hunter, but she stepped on it unexpectedly."
Chen Changli and his companion rescued the little girl from the deep pit, but there was a trap underneath. The little girl's leg was caught in the trap, and blood had soaked her entire trouser leg.
It seemed like it had been some time. Wan Shufang had no choice but to take out some medical supplies from the space and prepare to treat the little girl.
After some operations, although the girl's life was no longer in danger, the two men still wanted to see the Buddha off to the west, so they asked the girl where she lived and sent her back personally.
The next day.
On the day of Master Feng's birthday, guests came one after another outside the Feng family's door. Yan Que'an came up to them but did not show up yet.
"How was it? Did you see the two of them?"
Not long after, the servant beside him came back in a hurry. Yan Que'an asked hurriedly, but saw that the other party shook his head.
"I looked everywhere, but I didn't see them."
Yan Que'an was obviously disappointed after hearing this.
He had clearly asked the person who sent the invitation yesterday and knew that the Feng family had also sent an invitation to Chen Changli and the other person, so he guessed that the two of them would definitely come today.
Originally Yan Que'an was reluctant to join in the fun, and only agreed when he knew Wan Shufang would come. Unexpectedly, at this hour, Chen Changli and the other two were nowhere to be seen.
"Master, how about we go back?"
Xiao Si saw that Yan Que'an was in trouble.
The fact that Feng Yaotiao had been released had become known to everyone, and the Feng family found a maid to take the blame, and Feng Yaotiao was completely cleared of suspicion.
A discerning person can tell what is right and what is wrong at a glance.
How could a mere maid have the guts to drug Yan Que An?
This person was clearly a scapegoat found by the Feng family, but even so, since everyone knew it was Master Feng's birthday party, no one dared not to come.
He had to give the Feng family some face. Yan Que'an knew that since he had come here, there was no reason to go back, and he had already been seen by others.
"Forget it, I guess the two of them must have been delayed on the way. Let's go in first."
As he spoke, Yan Que got off the carriage. The moment he appeared, the people around him obviously kept their eyes on him.
Yan Que'an felt a little uncomfortable, but he had no choice but to go in.
"Master Yan, please come this way."
As soon as he entered the door, the Feng family's housekeeper immediately came forward to warmly welcome him and led Yan Que'an to his seat.
"Wait a minute, are you sure you want me to sit here?"
When they arrived, Yan Que'an suddenly grabbed the butler who was about to leave. For some reason, he felt a little uneasy.
At Mr. Feng’s birthday banquet, the seats should be arranged according to seniority.
Although men and women sat at the same table, he was arranged directly in the first row, the most conspicuous position, which was really unreasonable.
"This is exactly what my master ordered. Please be patient, Mr. Yan."
After saying this, the butler didn't give Yan Que'an any extra chance and just found an excuse to leave.
Seeing that there were more and more people around, Yan Que'an couldn't stand all the time, so he had to bite the bullet and sit down. Today he finally understood what it meant to be sitting on pins and needles.
Soon, Master Feng appeared and the people around him congratulated him, and the banquet officially began.
Master Feng first chatted with a few other old friends, then turned around and walked towards Yan Que'an.
"Nephew Yan, how are you?"
As he was speaking, Master Feng actually poured wine for Yan Que'an himself. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yan Que'an couldn't refuse at all. He wanted to see what tricks the Feng family could come up with.
"My father is busy today, so he specially asked me to come here to congratulate Master Feng on his birthday."
Without waiting for the other party to blame him, Yan Que'an spoke first.
Master Feng's expression remained unchanged, and he showed no intention of blaming anyone.
"It's okay. To be honest, it's because I didn't discipline my children properly that we had a rift between our two families."
"But now the truth of what happened has been revealed, and it can be regarded as clearing the name of my Feng family."
"Of course, I don't mean to force you, but I just don't want our two families to become estranged because of this matter."
Mr. Feng's words were full of temptation.
This was clearly a reminder to him that the Feng family had already found a scapegoat, and if the Yan family continued to pursue this matter, it would be disrespecting him.
He knew that today's banquet would not taste good, but he didn't expect it to be so hard to swallow.
"Oh no, the lady fainted."
Suddenly, a maid's scream was heard behind him. Yan Que'an turned around and saw Feng Yaotiao fainting in public.
"Master, the young lady drank a few more glasses of wine just now, and her old illness relapsed!"
The maid ran to Master Feng in a hurry, and Master Feng turned pale instantly, "Go find a doctor!"
Master Feng felt his legs go weak and in panic he grabbed Yan Que'an's hand tightly.
"Nephew, please help me take Yaotiao to the inner room."
Master Feng's words made Yan Que'an feel a little embarrassed. He didn't want to have anything to do with the Feng family anymore.
"This is not good. After all, men and women should not touch each other..."
"It's already this late, why are you still concerned about this? Just give me a hand."
Before Yan Que'an finished speaking, the people around him had already started to make a noise.
