After a moment, Gu Yanfei retracted her gaze and lowered her eyes. She reminded her, “Remember to keep that amulet well.”
“…” Feng Yang subconsciously rubbed the amulet hidden in her sleeve pocket.
This was given to her by Gu Yanfei on the day of the banquet.
Wei Jiaoniang looked back and forth between Feng Yang and Gu Yanfei. She felt that their words were too mysterious and she couldn’t understand it.
Feng Yang was about to call the waiter to bring them another pot of tea when a woman’s impatient voice suddenly came from not far away. “Go, go, go! We don’t want to listen to any songs.”
“Sorry to disturb you.” The little girl with her back to Feng Yang and the others bowed repeatedly to apologize. She was timid and weak, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.
It was a pretty girl, 12 or 13 years old. She was wearing a washed-out green dress and holding an old erhu in her hand.
Feng Yang changed her words at the last minute. “Waiter, call this little girl over to sing a song for me.”
The waiter naturally obeyed and quickly called the little girl holding the erhu over.
Feng Yang asked the young lady to sing a few cheerful songs for them.
Before long, a melodious erhu sound accompanied by the sweet voice of a young girl, reminiscent of the melodious song of an oriole, resounded. The song “Locking the Southern Branch” was performed with enchanting beauty, attracting the attention of passersby. Some people stopped in their tracks, while others decided to enter a teahouse to have a cup of tea and enjoy the music.
Feng Yang looked at the singing girl, and a hint of nostalgia appeared in her eyes. She seemed to be looking at her, but also at an old friend through her.
This sentimental feeling only lasted for half a song and quickly dissipated.
After the little girl sang four or five songs in a row, the secret guard from the princess’s manor rode his horse back.
Feng Yang threw a piece of silver to the little girl, and the little girl left gratefully.
Her song was indeed good. The phoenix sent her away, and the guests at the other table called her over again.
After the young secret guard got off the horse, he quickly walked to Feng Yang’s side.
Feng Yang gestured for him to sit down and talk. After all, he was too eye-catching standing here like a pillar.
The secret guard sat down opposite Feng Yang in a slightly restrained manner. His posture was straight, and his voice couldn’t hide the stiffness. The first sentence was:
“Xu Yan has been detained in the prison of the Ministry of Justice and will be interrogated by the three divisions.”
“Wow!” Wei Jiaoniang’s mouth opened slightly in surprise as she looked at Feng Yang with a burning gaze. “Did you know long ago?”
Feng Yang smiled and sighed. “Your grandfather isn’t a person without ideas.”
He wasn’t someone who could be persuaded by a mere Xu Yan.
Wei Jiaoniang was finally relieved. She asked the secret guard, “What else?”
The secret guard replied obediently, “The position of Marquis Ji’an will be inherited by his eldest daughter, Xu Yao.”
Huh?! Wei Jiaoniang was dumbfounded. She was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped.
“This, this, this…” Wei Jiaoniang’s mouth opened and closed. She once again experienced the feeling of being dumbfounded and didn’t know how to comment.
How did things develop in this direction?!
Feng Yang smiled gently, her eyes flashing with wisdom.
She had watched Imperial Duke Wei and Wei Seng grow up, so she naturally knew him far better than Xu Yan and Wei Jiaoniang.
Xu Yan was still too inexperienced.
He thought that using the title as bait would tempt Wei Seng and make him let him off.
Little did he know, his attempt to be clever had inadvertently provided Wei Shen with a new perspective.
“If this prince can be established, he can also be crippled,” Feng Yang said with a smile, hinting at Wei Jiaoniang. “Instead of worrying all the time in the next few decades, it’s better to…”
Feng Yang paused meaningfully. Wei Jiaoniang was completely curious and asked anxiously, “To do what?”
“Leave the father and keep the daughter.” Feng Yang slowly said these words with a playful smile in her eyes.
This was indeed something that Wei Seng could do!
When he was young, he was good at catching people off guard. He was old, but his brain clearly wasn’t.
A few gusts of wind blew over from outside the tea shed, causing Feng Yang’s clothes to rippie like water. Her entire body added to her unrestrained aura.
“Pfft!” Gu Yanfei couldn’t help but burst into laughter, unable to contain herself. A faint pair of smile lines formed at the corners of her lips.
Wei Jiaoniang was dumbfounded. However, she felt that what Feng Yang said made sense. She felt that the door to a new world had opened, and her eyes were sparkling..
