MTL - The Reborn Noble Daughter-Chapter 26 eavesdropping

Chapter 26 26. Eavesdropping

She didn’t believe that a backyard aunt who didn’t know much Chinese would be so paranoid about entering school. Someone must have hinted at it.

It seems that precautions have been neglected at home, and things are a bit uneven.

 After settling the trouble, Feng Jinyao was also sleepy. After saying goodbye to her sister-in-law Wen Shi, she took a walk back to Ning'an Courtyard.

 She took one more look at Yunxu before leaving, and soon the girl understood what she meant.

　　Pretexting that she was feeling unwell, she actually followed Aunt Linlang back to the small courtyard quietly in the darkness of the night, hiding in an inconspicuous dark place, and quietly eavesdropping.

“Son, I didn’t scare you today.”

Aunt Linlang is very domineering outside, but she is very considerate to her children.

Feng Yunli stretched out her chubby little hands to rub Aunt Linlang's knees, her eyes full of heartache and sincerity.

“Auntie, thank you for your hard work, your knees must be very painful. My son will definitely study hard in the future and compete with my auntie!”

"Okay, okay, my son has great ambitions, so my mother will naturally help you to climb this Qingyun Road. Don't worry, my mistress is just pretending to make trouble and give her some trouble. You are going to school, mother. We have already made plans here. In a few days, your uncle and the others will also come to Dongdu. With him supporting us then, the Wen family is very weak. In the backyard, it will still be our mother and son’s world. ?”

 “Uncle? I have never met my uncle.”

 Feng Yunli's plump little face was full of curiosity and doubt.

Since he was born, the people he has seen the most are his aunt, father, mother and eldest brother.

Even my grandparents and grandparents are only seen on weekdays to say hello, let alone my second uncle who is often absent from the house and my little aunt whom I don’t know very well.

So this is the first time my maternal uncle has heard about it.

Linlang felt a little distressed when she heard him say such words.

She is the youngest in the family, with three brothers. Unfortunately, her parents are just ordinary farmers.

 The family was still supporting her eldest brother to study, so they had no other choice, so they sold her to Feng Mansion.

Because she was born fair and had served her eldest brother at home, she was a bit more scholarly than an ordinary girl. Feng Jinxu caught his eye and arranged for her to serve in the study.

　　It lasts forever, and naturally there is a bit more affection in the red sleeves.

 The uncle is a nice person and takes good care of the mother and son. He often rests in her yard on weekdays and pays little attention to the Wen family.

It is precisely because of this that she wants to compete, or even replace him!

“This time, your uncle followed you to Beijing because he caught the eye of the nobleman. It’s a smooth road. Don’t worry, as long as he is around in the future, no one will make a fuss about your background.”

Aunt Linlang took a deep breath, as if she wanted to vent her dissatisfaction from being a slave and a concubine for many years.

Hearing this, Yun Xu also had some thoughts in his heart, and what happened after that was just some idle chatter, so he quietly left and went back to report the news.

 In Ning'an Courtyard, Feng Jinyao retreated to the left and right.

“Uncle? Does she have any relatives at home?”

Feng Jinyao asked curiously after hearing Yun Xu's words.

Yun Xu shook his head, "I'm not familiar with the girls in the uncle's courtyard. I'm afraid I have to ask Mama Bai about this."

 Check it out!

It is a good thing that her natal brother has achieved great success, but for some reason, she always feels uneasy, and her intuition tells her that there must be something wrong behind it.

 Recalling all the things that happened in her eldest brother's room in her last life, Feng Jinyao had to make preparations in advance. After thinking for a while, he gave instructions to Yun Xu.

“You will send a few capable young men to guard Guiyuantang tomorrow. If you find any trace of Divine Doctor Zhang, report it immediately!”

“Mr. Zhang? Are you worried about your wife’s condition?”

"Well, the New Year is coming soon, and my mother's illness has been lingering for a long time, and my sister-in-law's head ailments also happen from time to time. If we can invite Dr. Zhang to come to the house to take a look, maybe she can be rejuvenated. By then, all the troubles in the house will be solved. The matter will naturally be solved."

Yun Xu felt it made sense and immediately replied, "Yes."

The night was getting darker and darker, Feng Jinyao looked in the direction of her elder brother's yard, and she had one more plan in mind.

It snowed all night, and Dongdu, which was still clearly visible at first, was now covered in white robes.

 In Ning'an Courtyard, the red plum blossoms stand out against the white snow, creating a beautiful scene.

Just after chenzheng, the small kitchen became busy, with smoke curling up, and Hydrangea kept telling the cook beside her that the food must be cooked soft and tender.

“Today I invited the eldest master, the second master, and the eldest brother to have breakfast. You should cook more, and the eldest brother should pay special attention to his diet.”

"Don't worry, Miss Hydrangea, we know what's appropriate." The speaker was Chef Lin, who is in charge of the small kitchen. She has been in charge of Ning'an Courtyard for several years, but she has never made any mistakes.

 After a while, the father, son, uncle and nephew arrived in the courtyard.

The weather was not good today, the snow was falling thickly, and the deerskin boots worn by several people were still stained with a lot of moisture.

As soon as Feng Jinlin lifted the curtain, he smelled a faint scent of jasmine, "You're a girl who knows how to live a good life. This scent is not bad."

Feng Jinyao coughed twice, reminding him that there was still his elder brother beside him, so he should stop talking about these romantic matters, lest his elder brother say that he didn't want to make progress again.

“It’s such a cold day and I’m asking you to come here to have a meal. Is it going to be cold on the way to Yunhe?”

 “Thank you to my aunt for your consideration. My mother bought me some winter clothes so that I can wear them warmly and not be cold.”

Feng Jinyao took a closer look and found that, sure enough, today Feng Yunhe was wearing a golden velvet coat with blue clouds and thunder patterns inlaid with rabbit fur. It was warm and bright, just suitable for a child of his age.

 It can be seen that Mr. Wen puts great care into raising his children.

On the other hand, Feng Jinxu, who was standing next to him, frowned slightly and whispered, "A loving mother often loses her son."

Yunhe's eyes suddenly dimmed, but his face remained calm.

Feng Jinyao was a little angry when he saw it. It was a good thing for the eldest brother to strictly educate his legitimate son, but it shouldn't be so hurtful. Isn't he afraid that Yunhe will become like him when he grows up in the future?

Feng Jinlin, who was standing next to him, was not happy, so he pulled Yunhe to his side and said, "I think he is very cute. Our eldest brother is well-born and well-educated. I asked around the capital of Mandong, and there are not many people there." Comparable. Right, Ayao."

“It’s just that my sister-in-law has another headache. She was scolded by my aunt yesterday, and now she can’t even get up, so she can’t teach our eldest brother properly.”

Feng Yunhe was surprised. He didn't expect his aunt to come up and complain to his father. He was looking forward to seeing how his father would react.

 “Confrontation? What happened?”

Feng Jinxu frowned, with a bit of uncertainty on his serious face.

Unexpectedly, he still looked like this and wanted to pass by gently as usual. Feng Yunhe was extremely disappointed.

How could he, who wanted to save his mother's life, let go of such a good opportunity, so he opened his mouth to accuse her.
