Chapter 283 My Mother-in-Law Is a Loyal Servant (27)

"Auntie, I miss you!"

Feng Yanting felt a little repulsive about going to the Hou Mansion.

It's not that he is so arrogant and self-sufficient, but that he doesn't know how to face Ping Nanhou, Madam Zhang and others.

Although He Tiantian said that "the matter of changing sons still needs to be investigated in detail", Feng Yanting knew very well that he was probably the blood of the Hou residence.

Because only in this way can some of the things he thought absurd in the past be explained.

For example, when she was young, Mrs. Zhang loved herself even more, and even the eldest Miss Wei Yuanniang wanted to give her some points when she met him.

For another example, in recent years, Mrs. Zhang has always disciplined him in a "superior place", even if he didn't understand or not, he knew how to do it.

It's not that Mrs. Zhang really likes a servant's child, or that she likes to meddle in her own business, just because he, Feng Yanting, is Mrs. Zhang's own flesh and blood.

But... Feng Yanting felt very uncomfortable, and even resented Mrs. Zhang.

idiot!

What a fucking idiot!

Just because he was afraid that his son would be sent to the capital as a proton, he secretly discussed with his confidant, and privately lost the blood of the Hou Mansion.

Does she know that this is a crime of deceiving the king? Once exposed in the future, will it affect the entire Hou Mansion?

Also, keeping the eldest son of the Hou family in the old servant's house is good for him?

Separated from his real parents, he cannot receive the elite education that belongs to the heirs of the Hou family.

Even if there is a way in the future (finding a scapegoat) to save the Hou Mansion from trouble, and the children can be returned to their respective places, can it really be safe and sound? !

Not to mention anything else, the fact that there is not much affection between the father and son of Pingnan Hou and Feng Yanting alone is enough to affect his status in the Hou residence and his future prospects.

Feng Yanting is not making random assumptions, but that things have already happened.

For example, at this moment, he reluctantly bid farewell to his adoptive mother and sat in the carriage returning to the Hou residence, Feng Yanting's thoughts were very chaotic.

Mrs. Zhang is better. Whether she likes it or hates it, she has been in contact with her for years.

And Feng Yanting would bet that Mrs. Zhang would treat him as her own son.

Because he is Madam Zhang's only hope and support.

But what about Pingnan Hou?

Not to mention that Marquis Pingnan was unfamiliar with Feng Yanting, even Feng Yanting himself was very unfamiliar with Marquis Pingnan.

From childhood to adulthood, Feng Yanting hardly had time to spend alone with Pingnan Hou.

Mrs. Zhang often boasted in his ears, saying how shrewd and brave Pingnan Marquis was, how loyal and brave he was.

Mama Zhao also helped to make up for it, praising the wealth of the Pingnan Houfu from generation to generation, and the men in the Houfu are good sons who protect the family and defend the country.

Feng Yanting was fascinated when he heard it, but he only regarded the Marquis of Pingnan as a legendary figure.

But now, someone told him that the big man was none other than his biological father.

And Feng Yanting is the most justifiable heir to the Pingnanhou Mansion, which has a glorious history of over a hundred years and is rich and powerful!

This is... so unreal!

In the most unreliable dream Feng Yanting had ever had, there was no such delusion.

However, Feng Yanting is the male protagonist in the end, he is tough and smart.

After hearing such "truth", after a brief period of panic and bewilderment, he quickly stabilized his mind and was able to respond accordingly.

However, the more he accepts his identity, the more he speculates on the truth of the year, the more he wants to scold his mother!

The stupid but wise biological mother, the self-proclaimed loyal but selfish mama Zhao, the master and servant pushed him into an embarrassing situation on the grounds of "protection".

I think when I was in the Feng family's small broken yard, there was only one frost and three concubines and children, and the family was disturbed.

In order to compete for resources, Feng Yanting played tricks and tricks with those people.

What about Pingnan Houfu?

It is a hundred times more noble than the Feng family, and a thousand times more complicated than the Feng family.

The interests and struggles involved are even more unimaginable for someone like Feng Yanting who came from a commoner and never lived in a powerful family.

In the past, Feng Yanting felt that it had nothing to do with Pingnanhou, but after Pingnanhou returned to Beijing, he still heard a lot of rumors about him.

One of the things that caught Feng Yanting's attention the most was that Marquis Pingnan married another wife and gave birth to two sons during his disappearance.

Although the barbarian woman has now degraded herself to a concubine, her two sons have also become concubines.

However, Feng Yanting dared to bet that in the eyes of Marquis Pingnan, the two sons who had been with each other since childhood were definitely more important than his nominal "eldest son".

Also, it can be seen from the barbarian woman's ability to "give in" that this person is much smarter than Madam Zhang.

In the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion, a foolish mistress who made mistakes, and a clever concubine who made her husband love and feel guilty...

Tsk tsk, Feng Yanting is not very old, but because he has been in the market all the year round, and is forced to mature too early by Mrs. Zhang, he can already imagine how chaotic and troublesome the future Hou residence will be for Feng Yanting.

And even if Feng Yanting is the eldest son, he may not be able to inherit the Hou residence.

In addition, although the Marquis of Pingnan has survived the "false accusation" crisis that year, as long as Marquis Pingnan continues to lead the army, the Marquis' Mansion may still be overthrown.

Unless Pingnan Hou really raised a rebellion.

But the question is, is rebellion so easy to make?

Feng Yanting did not receive the elite education of the heirs of the Hou residence, but he was familiar with history.

And looking at the cases in history where the rebellion was successful and the dynasty was able to change, the reason why they were successful was because the time was right——

The time of day (natural disasters, faint monarchs, treacherous officials), favorable geography (one's own soldiers and horses are strong), people and people (someone helps).

Looking at the current Great Zhou Dynasty, the current sage Emperor Chengtai is indeed not a wise monarch, but he is not a real tyrant or tyrant.

Under his rule, the people were not very rich, but most of them were able to eat and clothe themselves.

Since ancient times, these people at the bottom are the most satisfied. As long as they are not left hungry, they can live in peace.

There was no official to force the people to rebel, and there was no strong enemy invading. Even if the Marquis of Pingnan had 200,000 elite soldiers, he would not dare to easily raise the flag to rebel.

Unable to rebel, and reluctant to give up military power, Feng Yanting felt that the future of Pingnan Houfu was worrisome.

In the past, Feng Yanting was just a bystander, gossiping at will.

But now, he has become the eldest son of the Hou Mansion, the proper heir, so the rise and fall of the Hou Mansion has a crucial role in him.

Feng Yanting was only five years old when the family of the Hou family was escorted to Beijing, but he already had memories.

The nobles who were once pampered were reduced to prisoners overnight.

Whether it's an elderly lady, or a baby child, they were all driven by officers and soldiers to struggle under the scorching sun and rain.

There is also the picture of Wei Yuanniang being whipped flying, which is deeply imprinted in Feng Yanting's memory.

"..." Feng Yanting clenched his fists hard, he must never let himself suffer all kinds of hardships because of the Hou Mansion like Wei Yuanniang back then!

Feng Yanting's thoughts seemed to be a bit selfish, which was different from the concept of aristocratic families in this era where family interests were above everything else.

However, this is also something that can't be helped. Feng Yanting did not live in the Hou Mansion for a day when he was thirteen years old.

He has no feelings, and he has not received family education, so he doesn't have much sense of identity and belonging to the Pingnanhou Mansion in his bones!

And this kind of situation will be expected by many old foxes and take advantage of it.

Of course, these are all later stories.

After shaking in the carriage for half an hour, Feng Yanting finally arrived at the Marquis of Pingnan Mansion.

"...Good boy, you, you have been wronged!"

Seeing Feng Yanting, who had already shown excellent temperament despite his young age, Pingnan Hou was filled with emotion.

The poor child had a foolish mother-in-law, who was obviously the eldest son of the noble and noble Hou's mansion, but grew up in a servant's house.

Fortunately, the children of their Wei family are naturally noble, and even if they grow up in the mud, they can become such a good-looking young man with good temperament and outstanding ability.

Although Feng Yanting devoted himself to studying and taking imperial examinations, it was not in line with their family heritage of Pingnan Houfu's consistent martial arts.

However, the Marquis of Pingnan was still very happy to see such a tall and straight young boy like a pine version, and his body and bones did not look as weak as a sour scholar.

Looking at nothing else, just seeing Feng Yanting's thick eyebrows and big eyes unique to the Wei family, the Marquis of Pingnan has an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

"..." Feng Yanting felt the kindness and closeness in the eyes of Marquis Pingnan.

In fact, as early as on the road, he had already sorted out his thoughts and decided on the path he should take after returning to the Hou residence.

Therefore, when seeing Marquis Pingnan at this time, Feng Yanting did not hide it, and deliberately showed a complicated expression——

There is the excitement of seeing blood relatives, and the consternation of hearing the truth at first glance;

There are Ru admiration for close relatives and flesh and blood, and there is reluctance to give up to adoptive parents and adoptive mothers.

Feng Yanting, the male protagonist, has perfectly mastered the complexities and layers of emotions. Many emotions are mixed, and the emotions are progressive...

Sure enough, Marquis Pingnan was very satisfied with Feng Yanting's performance.

"I know that the Feng family has been very kind to you over the years, especially the Feng family's wife, who has treated you with sincerity and sincerity!"

"It makes sense that you can't bear her. In the future, you can still have contact with the Feng family, and the lady of the Feng family-"

Marquis Pingnan has not forgotten the presumptuous remarks of "Gu Xiuniang" at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion in the morning.

Not to forget, this woman seems to want to quarrel with Mrs. Zhang.

Hmph, a woman from a small family, but after helping the Hou Mansion, she really thinks that she is the benefactor of the Hou Mansion, and can disregard her status and abandon her arrogance?

Leaving aside the mention of others, Feng Yanting alone, Ping Nanhou does not believe that Gu Xiuniang really has no feelings for the children raised by her.

There is also Feng Zhongliang, no matter how daring Gu Xiuniang is, she is just a housewife.

Feng Zhongliang was close to the Hou Mansion and did not agree with Gu Xiuniang's nonsense, so Gu Xiuniang also——

Pingnan Houzheng wanted to tell Feng Yanting that he could continue to be close to Gu Xiuniang in the future.

As a result, I heard Feng Yanting say a little depressed, "My aunt, she, she and daddy have divorced!"

Pingnan Hou was taken aback.

Immediately, he sneered in his heart: It's ridiculous, thinking that if He Li is no longer Feng's wife, he will be free from the control of the Hou Mansion? !

Even if "Gu Xiuniang" coaxed Feng Zhongliang to take her daughter away, the Hou Mansion still had a way to make Feng Zhongliang run to fight her for her daughter again.

Not to mention, the Hou Mansion is a noble person, as long as Pingnan Hou looks like he is reluctant to adopt a daughter, and then expresses that he wants to recognize Wei Yuanniang as his righteous daughter, whether it is Wei Yuanniang herself or the public opinion will tend to the Hou Mansion's side.

After all, the Hou Mansion is rich and noble, everyone knows that staying in the Hou Mansion is really good to Wei Yuanniang.

That is to say, Wei Yuanniang is now in Qingyunguan. Otherwise, when Pingnan Hou brought Feng Yanting back, he ordered someone to bring Wei Yuanniang back.

However, even if Wei Yuanniang was in Qingyun Temple, Pingnan Hou could not interfere in her affairs for the time being.

But Wei Yuanniang can't stay in Qingyunguan for the rest of her life. As long as she goes down the mountain and returns to the world, Ping Nanhou, the "adopted father", will have a way to arrange Wei Yuanniang's future.

"Gu Xiunian" As long as she takes care of her daughter, she does not dare to mess around.

After Pingnan Hou returned to the Hou Mansion, the first thing he did was to interrogate Mrs. Zhang.

Facing the stern eyes and cold face of Marquis Pingnan, Mrs. Zhang did not dare to hide the slightest bit, and told everything about her and Zhao's plans back then!

Among them, Gu Xiuniang wanted to change her son. When she mentioned this, she couldn't help but bring a little pride in her tone.

What are you proud of?

Are you proud of being able to "get it out of the way"?

Pingnan Hou: ...I don't want to call Mrs. Zhang an idiot anymore.

This is a fact, and it can't be changed by scolding it several times.

Even Gu Xiuniang was at fault, but over the years, people have worked hard to achieve a better reputation than the loyal servant, Mammy Zhao!

You say people prefer sons to daughters?

But the family treats the concubines and concubines at home with a bowl of water.

Even in acting, Gu Xiuniang's acting skills are better than Madam Zhang's!

Thinking of disguise or something, Pingnan Hou was full of anger again.

As long as Mrs. Zhang knows how to restrain herself and treat Wei Yuanniang better, their Houfu will not be so passive now!

However, through interrogation, Pingnan Hou still came to a conclusion that made him relatively comforting:

Although Mrs. Zhang was stupid back then, she didn't know whether it was Mrs. Zhang's rare cleverness, or whether Mrs. Zhang put too much trust in Mammy Zhao.

When changing children, Mrs. Zhang did not participate in the whole process and all the details.

The person who is solely responsible is always Mama Zhao.

And those evidences and witnesses, the only thing they can point to is Mama Zhao!

Therefore, Mrs. Zhang is "innocent". The only thing she will be criticized for is that she doesn't know people well and the housekeeper is not strict, which makes Diao slave take advantage of it!

The big black pot of changing the child was firmly on the head of Zhao mama, even if she repented and wanted to change her mouth, there was no way to prove her innocence.

"It's a blessing in misfortune! Although there are still people who doubt it, there is no clear evidence!"

Pingnan Hou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he still had to prevent "Gu Xiuniang" from causing trouble. After all, she had a good reputation, and Mrs. Zhang was really mean to Wei Yuanniang.

Fortunately, the Hou Mansion is honorable, and "Gu Xiuniang" is just a commoner. The gap between the people and officials, respect and sorrow, is not embroidered with a few pieces of embroidery, but can be smoothed out by making friends with a few nobles.

I really don't know where "Gu Xiuniang" got the confidence to threaten him with the dignified peace of Nanhou.

However, three days later, Pingnan Hou knew the reason——

"What? Yuan Niang contributed high-yield and good seeds, and was named the Lord of Yonghe County by the saint?!"
