Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 185: Illegitimate Child

"Let’s not talk about this for now." Old Tang’s expression became serious as he said, "Miss Shen, how are you going to deal with the matter of offending the Heavenly Killer Sect?"

Shen Qinglan’s expression remained unchanged as she replied, "When the soldiers come, we’ll block them with generals; when water comes, we’ll use earth to cover it."

"How about this," Old Tang suggested, "I’ll send a few people to follow you, how does that sound?"

"No need." Shen Qinglan refused without a second thought; she didn’t like the feeling of being followed.

Old Tang frowned, "But what if people from the Heavenly Killer Sect come after you, then what?"

The people from the Heavenly Killer Sect are known for their ruthlessness. If others were to confront them, it would be fine, but if the Sect Leader Li Tianxing himself came, it would be over.

It was likely this old guy who injured the Young Master last time.

Haoyue Manor’s commission must have been substantial; Shen Qinglan really damaged a big deal of the Heavenly Killer Sect this time. It’s understandable that Li Tianxing would be furious.

"I have my own way of getting out of it."

After speaking, Shen Qinglan left directly through the back courtyard.

Watching her leave, Old Tang thought over it repeatedly and finally decided to inform Duan Yunfei of the matter.

-------

In a remote village called Kaiyang in Liuyun Town.

Duan Yunfei, Le Zhao, and Xuan Ming along with Xuan Ying were sitting in front of a farmhouse, listening to the farmhouse owner speak.

"We don’t know who his parents were; he came to Kaiyang Village with Old Man Feng at the age of eight. Old Man Feng was elusive and rarely seen; most of the time, Feng Wuya was home alone."

"The child was honest and sensible, gentle-natured, never refused any help asked of him, and as long as he could help, he generally would."

"Later, when he was thirteen, a group of people took him away. The neighbors around said it was his biological father who came for him. After that, we never saw him again."

"Biological father?" Duan Yunfei frowned. Feng Wuya was clearly an orphan, where would he have a father?"

After leaving the farmhouse, Xuan Ming pondered, "If what the villager said is true, who is the Eldest Young Master’s biological father? Why did he save the manor owner? And why does he claim to be an orphan?"

Xuan Ming’s questions were almost what everyone else present couldn’t comprehend.

If, back then, Feng Wuya orchestrated the events himself, he almost lost his life saving Duan Nian.

But if it wasn’t self-orchestrated, why did he later conspire with the people from Haoyue Manor to assassinate Duan Nian?

Xuan Ying speculated, "Is it possible that the Eldest Young Master is a member of Haoyue Manor?"

Xuan Ming said, "But from my observations, the Eldest Young Master seems to have an inexplicable aversion to the people of Haoyue Manor."

Every time someone mentioned Haoyue Manor, there was an inescapable look of disgust in Feng Wuya’s eyes.

Le Zhao also said perplexedly, "From what the villagers described, Feng Wuya doesn’t seem like a terrible person. On the contrary, he’s quite good. Could there be some misunderstanding?"

"There’s one thing I don’t quite understand," Xuan Ming said, "If the Eldest Young Master has a biological father, why would he come to live in this remote village with an old man? Why not go directly to his father?"

"Could he be an illegitimate child?" Le Zhao speculated, "I’ve heard that the lady of Haoyue Manor isn’t particularly kind; could Feng Wuya be Chen Qi’s illegitimate son?"

Xuan Ming nodded, "That seems somewhat reasonable!"

Duan Yunfei walked leisurely to the side, his sword-like brows tightly furrowed.
