Chapter 1754 Renzijuan scumbag also has feelings

“Second Grandma, those soldiers are here again. They were polite last time, but this time they are much more arrogant. They require us to hand over three thousand taels of silver within three days, otherwise they will break in.”

Uncle Fu glanced at Wang Xifeng, who was sitting on the kang, and said hesitantly: "The young one is just guarding the house for the Feng family. How can I get so much money? But if they break in, they are afraid of disturbing grandma..."

I really don’t know why Feng You sent this group of people to live here. Uncle Fu has worked in the Feng family for so many years and has experienced a lot, but he has never encountered such a situation. So why did Feng You send people here? He didn't say much, he just said that it was the young master's order to take good care of him and make sure he was well settled.

Uncle Fu murmured in his heart. He didn't know the origin of this woman who was called the Second Grandma. She seemed to be a woman from a wealthy family, but this group of people were all women. Well, although there were men in it, You can tell at a glance that he is a servant, not a master, but in the past six months, no man, or perhaps the father in this woman's belly, has ever appeared.

This woman's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and her anger is getting bigger and bigger. She often curses and swears at people. Uncle Fu didn't hear anything before, but it was only after his wife reminded him that he realized that the woman was actually cursing the young master. This Let Uncle Fu slowly come back to his senses.

 Could it be that this is the young master’s outer room?

It can be seen that although this woman looks charming, she is really not young. She is at least five or six years older than the young master. Which man can raise a woman who is much older than himself if he has an extramarital affair?

What's more, who is the young master now? He was a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and now he is the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture. What kind of woman can't be chosen, but he has to raise such an unclear woman?

However, Uncle Fu also knew that what he thought might not be what the young master thought, but after feeling that this woman might have the Feng family's seed in her belly, Fu Bo's attitude changed a lot.

He knew very well that the Feng family still had no heirs. The master and his wife must be very anxious. The young master had two wives and several concubines, but he only had one daughter. How could he not let a three-bedroom family pass on to a single family? Is the Feng family worried?

Although this wild woman is an outsider, if she can give birth to a male heir, it will at least make the Feng family feel at ease. If the women in the main house of the Feng family cannot give birth to a son, then this male heir will be valuable.

In this situation, Uncle Fu could only follow what Feng You said and support this woman well.

"Three thousand taels of silver? What's the reason?" Wang Xifeng's expression remained unchanged, "If you give me three thousand taels, maybe they will ask for five thousand taels, and next time they may ask for ten thousand taels. This may be a bottomless pit."

Uncle Fu also admitted that what Wang Xifeng said was true. The soldiers and bandits were the same. These troops from other places did not care about anything else. They only cared about achieving their goals. If they failed to achieve their goals, they might cause chaos.

Now he is asking for three thousand taels of silver. This is not three thousand copper coins, but three thousand taels of silver. Even if the Feng family can get it, it is impossible to give it here. He is a servant guarding the house. I have never seen three thousand taels of silver, how can I get it?

If it were normal, these soldiers would just let them in if they wanted to come in. Anyway, there are only these household items in the mansion, but the situation is different now. In addition to this pot-bellied woman, there are also a bunch of girls, all with beautiful looks. When soldiers come in, who knows what will happen? If it doesn't work well and ends up trying to kill people and silence them, that would be trouble coming to your doorstep.

"Grandma is right, but if she doesn't agree, then wouldn't it be a crime if they rushed in, bumped into grandma, and caused the fetus to contract?" Fu Bo said hesitantly.

Wang Xifeng also has his teeth broken. When encountering this kind of thing, you really can't reason with these soldiers. If you don't do it, God knows what they will do if they break in?

If given, these people will continue to extort money and extort money, and it may get out of hand.

“Uncle Fu, how is the situation in our area?” Wang Xifeng asked as if she was remembering something.

"The Zou family next door is similar, but when the Confederate Army came over, the Zou family had already boarded a boat and fled to the capital city, leaving only a few people guarding the house." Uncle Fu replied: "Those sergeants saw that there was indeed no owner in the house. , so they had no choice but to give up, collect some money and leave. The younger ones also inquired about other houses, and found out that they either followed the Zou family’s example and hid, or they went to hide in the countryside, but there were also some with Nan. It’s cooperation with the military, but that requires someone to come forward.”

Wang Xifeng understood what Uncle Fu meant. Even if he wanted to negotiate, a decent master would have to come forward, but this was precisely the problem with Feng Zhai now.

The people in charge of the Feng family are all in the capital city and the northwest, or they are distant relatives and side branches who can't take care of things at all. Now I can't avoid this situation. Some people in the Feng family are a little suspicious of my family living in the Feng family. Fu Bodu used the excuse of the young master's friends and family to cover it up. If he still invites them to negotiate at this time, his true colors will really be exposed.

Wang Xifeng’s expression was gloomy and uncertain, but she finally waved her hand and signaled Uncle Fu to go down first.

 Only Ping'er, Xiaohong, Wang Xin and Laiwang were left in the room.

Except for Lin Hongyu, they are all old men who came from the Wang family and are extremely loyal.

“What should we do now? Tell us.” Wang Xifeng touched her belly, took a breath, and asked.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Although Ping'er was the closest to Wang Xifeng, she knew that such an important matter could not be decided casually. After all, she was only a woman and she did not dare to make suggestions easily.

Wang Xifeng’s eyes fell on Wang Xin: “Wang Xin, what do you think we should do now?”

"I think it's better to go back to the capital city." Wang Xin gritted his teeth, "The harassment from the Confederate Army will never stop. Sooner or later something will happen, and there will probably be a war here too. The chaos of war is too dangerous.”

Wang Xin was originally unwilling to come to the Qing Dynasty, but as a male servant who had followed Wang Xifeng from the Wang family, he also knew that his destiny could only rise and fall with Wang Xifeng. Without Wang Xifeng, he and his wife were nothing.

Wang Xifeng is pregnant, and she is a woman who has divorced a long time ago. Whether it is known by the Jia family or the Wang family, it is a big deal. Not only will her reputation be ruined, but it will definitely cause an uproar, so Feng Ziying let When they came to the Qing Dynasty, they had no choice but to do so.

“Go back to the capital?” Ping’er couldn’t help but retort: ​​“Second Grandma is also a respectable person. What will happen if someone recognizes her and finds her?”

This is also a big problem. After all, Wang Xifeng is also a person with some respect in the capital city. He knows a lot of people in the Wuxun family and has visited many people's mansions. The servants of various families have seen Wang Xifeng a lot, not a little bit. Be careful if you are spotted and recognized, it will be difficult to make up for it.

“How about going to Jinling or Yangzhou?” Lai Wang scratched his head.

"We can't go to Yangzhou, Second Master Lian is still there." Lin Hongyu also plucked up the courage to speak, "Over there in Jinling,..."

Wang Xifeng already shook his head: "You can't go south."

 In fact, when the Xuanfu army stationed in Linqing, Wang Xifeng began to inquire about the situation.

Naturally, she had no way of knowing the circumstances of the Iron Web Mountain Incident, but the Xuanfu Army and the Datong Army suddenly went south, and then fought with the Jizhen Army near the capital city, but they couldn't hide it from anyone. There were also discussions in the local area, and then there was Nanjing. Prince Yitada proclaimed himself the governor of the country and established a separate imperial court. The two sides became tense.

Wang Xifeng also knew a little bit about the relationship between his second uncle Wang Ziteng and Niu Jizhong and Prince Yi Zhong. His second uncle was lingering in Huguang, but Niu Jizong's Xuanfu army marched eastward to Shandong, and Prince Yi Zhong established a separate establishment in Jinling. Wang Xifeng knew what this meant for the Nanjing court.

 But can I go to Jinling by myself?

 Obviously not. Putting aside the safety of my journey south with a big belly, I was seen by people from the Xue family of King Jia Shi of Jinling. How could I explain it?

It’s too late to escape these families. How can we go to Jinling? After all, it is still the hometown of the four families, and there are not many clan members staying there.

"What should we do?" Ping'er said: "How about I go back to the capital..."

Lin Hongyu immediately responded: "It's better to run away as a servant. Grandma can't be away from my sister for even a moment."

Just as he was talking, Uncle Fu had already shouted from outside, "Second Grandma, Second Grandma, someone is coming from the capital."

Wang Xifeng's body softened, but her nose was sore, and she couldn't help but shed tears. The man who had killed a thousand swords finally thought of himself.

The person who came was an acquaintance of Uncle Fu, but Wang Xifeng and the others also knew Feng You.

As soon as Feng You came in, he took a look at Wang Xifeng's ungracefully big belly and couldn't help but murmur in his heart, no wonder the young master is so interested, could these be twins?

If she can really give birth to two sons for the Feng family in one go, I am afraid that she, an outside wife with an embarrassing status, will be looked down upon by the ladies in the house.

“Feng You has met the Second Grandma, and I came here to see the Second Grandma on the order of the young master.”

Still neither humble nor arrogant, but Feng You will not offend Wang Xifeng. He is not from Feng Ziying, but from Feng Tang. But after all, this is the only one in the Feng family, so the relationship is different.

"Humph, he still knows that there is such a person as Concubine?" Wang Xifeng has also returned to normal and sneered: "Concubine thought he had forgotten about it long ago."

Naturally, Feng You would not accept such harsh words. Feng Ziying had already given instructions before he came. If Wang Xifeng was about to give birth, he could only find a place to live in Linqing. But if there is still a period of time, or Linqing If it's not safe, then we can only take the risk and let Wang Xifeng return north.

Of course, returning north does not mean returning to the capital city, as that would be too risky. It is best to live in Tianjin Wei or Tongzhou.

These two places are transportation hubs, easy to travel and safe, and it is also convenient for Feng Ziying to take time to visit.
