Ch314 - Ling Family's Business

Edited by Zaki

At lunch, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu ate together.

“How come I don’t see Xuanxuan? Where are the two people?” Liu Mufeng asked suspiciously.

“Xuanxuan and Xiaoyue went out. They went shopping with the Master, Mistress, and Elder Brother. They won’t come back for lunch.” Jiang Xu picked up some vegetables and began to eat.

“Oh.” Nodding his head, Liu Mufeng picked up the food and sent it to his lover’s bowl.

“Not bad, the chef in the City Lord’s Mansion is great.” Jiang Xu was full of praise after eating the delicious food of the City Lord’s Mansion.

“Eat more if you like it.” Looking at his wife dotingly, Liu Mufeng picked up a lot of food for his lover.

“Son, why are you staying in the guest room?” Walking into the room, looking at Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu who were eating together, Madam Zhang Feng frowned deeply.

Jiang Xu couldn’t help twitching the corners of his mouth seeing the City Lord’s Madam coming. He thought:This City Lord’s Wife is really haunting us.

“Why are you here?” Standing up, Liu Mufeng looked at the Wife of the City Lord.

“Son, Mother made some snacks for you. I went back to the living room to look for you, but couldn’t find you. Mother went to your yard again, but there was no one there. Mother searched for a long time before she found you.” Madam Zhang Feng felt very wronged.

“I’m sorry, I should have told you that I was staying here. Sit down.” As he spoke, Liu Mufeng helped Madam Zhang Feng to sit at the dining table.

“Son, why are you not living in your own courtyard? Why do you live in the guest room? Is your Father being mean to you? Tell Mother, Mother will help you.” Holding Liu Mufeng’s hand, Madam Zhang Feng asked.

“No, I live here with my Master. Otherwise, my Master would be lonely.” Looking at Madam Zhang Feng, Liu Mufeng smiled and explained.

“Oh, that’s it.” Nodding, Madam Zhang Feng took out the dimsum she made and placed it on the table. “Son, try the dimsum made by your Mother. It was taught to me by the chef. Do you think it looks good?”

“En, it looks good.” Looking at the flower-like desserts on the plate, Liu Mufeng smiled and picked up one.

“Try it.” Madam Zhang Feng showed a loving smile as she looked at her Son.

“En, it’s delicious.” After taking a bite, Liu Mufeng said repeatedly.

“No, it wouldn’t be.” After speaking, Madam Zhang Feng hurriedly picked up some of the dimsums to eat. “How could it be? How could it be salty? Feng’er, don’t eat it, don’t eat it. Mother will make it again. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Mother’s brain is not working well recently, don’t be angry with Mother.” Madam Zhang Feng hurriedly snatched the snack from Liu Mufeng’s hand.

“Feng’er, mother missed you very much, missed you very much, don’t leave, don’t leave again, okay, okay Feng’er?” Throwing herself into Liu Mufeng’s arms, Madam Zhang Feng suddenly burst into tears of grievance.

“jOD, eOD…” TfNyq xD ENI Nm N LOII ECJy CJ INE mCJ kfme uOtz’I WfAJ htefyq.

“Mother, don’t be sad, I won’t leave, I won’t leave.” Gently patting the other party’s back, Liu Mufeng comforted the other party softly.

Even though she was insane and delirious, Liu Mufeng could feel that Madam Zhang Feng still loved her Son very, very much, but it was a pity that Ling Feng had already passed away. The Mother was destined to wait for her Son who would never come home.

“Feng’er.” Raising her head, Madam Zhang Feng gently touched Liu Mufeng’s face, her eyes were full of joy, the joy of having lost and found.

“Mother, let’s eat something, take it.” Saying this, Liu Mufeng let go of the other party, and took the bowl and chopsticks to her.

“En.” Nodding, Madam Zhang Feng started eating with Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu.

“Eat more.” Looking at the pitiful Madam Zhang Feng, Jiang Xu felt a little sympathy and pity for this woman. He took the initiative to pick up the food and delivered it to the other party’s bowl.

Raising her head to look at Jiang Xu, Madam Zhang Feng smiled. “Don’t always be fierce to Feng’er, otherwise Feng’erwon’t like you.”

“En.” Nodding, Jiang Xu responded lightly.

“Mother,XiaoXu is not fierce. He is very kind, gentle and considerate to me. He even gave birth to a Son for me.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile after putting some vegetables into Madam Zhang Feng’s bowl.

“Oh, is that so? Do I have a Grandson? How old is he?” Madam Zhang Feng blinked, and her eyes were full of happiness and joy.

“En, Xuanxuan is forty-two years old. He’s already married.”

“He is married. Then why didn’t you bring him back? Could it be that his wife is too fierce and doesn’t want to come back?” Madam Zhang Feng asked.

“No, they went out shopping and will be back in a while.”

“Oh, that’s it, then, then I’m going to tell your Father that I’m going to prepare gifts for my Grandson and Grandson-in-Law.” After thinking about it, Madam Zhang Feng said solemnly.

“Don’t worry, you can go after dinner.”

“Okay.” Nodding, Madam Zhang Feng happily ate.

Halfway through the meal, a male cultivator with one star in the Spiritual Profound Realm came over. “Auntie, why did you come here? Uncle has been looking for you all the time.” The young cultivator’s tone was unavoidably tinged with reproach.

“I’m here to eat with Feng’er. Why doesn’t he come here to see me?” Madam Zhang Feng asked matter-of-factly.

At those words, the male cultivator glanced at Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu. “Sorry, my Aunt is a bit delirious, and disturbing you two Daoists.”

“It’s okay, you don’t have to be polite, Fellow Daoist.” After waving his hand, Liu Mufeng said indifferently.

“Auntie, come back with me.” The male cultivator said sternly.

“Oh, oh.” Nodding, Madam Zhang Feng stood up from her chair and looked at Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu. “Feng’er,XiaoXu, I’ll go and talk to your Father, and I’ll come back to find you later.”

“Okay, you go.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng sent Madam Zhang Feng and the male cultivator out of the yard.

Back in the room again, Liu Mufeng beckoned the maid outside the door to come in. Waving his hands, he set up a barrier in the room.

“What’s your name?” Sitting on a chair, looking at this little maid in the Spiritual Master Realm, Liu Mufeng asked.

“This servant girl’s name is Pearl. Paying my respects to the two Seniors.” Looking up at the two of them, the little maid replied in a bit of a terrified manner. She knew that these two people are very powerful cultivators, and they were also disciples of the Lingwu Sect, one is the apprentice of the Third Elder, and the other is the apprentice of the Lingwu Sect Master, and they were all important figures in the Lingwu Sect.

“Don’t be so nervous, I’m just chatting with you. Sit down.” As he spoke, Liu Mufeng pointed to the chair beside him.

“No, no, no, this servant girl doesn’t dare.” Shaking her head, Pearl refused.

“Sit down. If you stand like this, I still have to look up at you. My neck feels uncomfortable.”

“Oh, yes, yes.” In response, Pearl sat on the chair designated by Liu Mufeng.

“Pearl, how many years have you been working in the City Lord’s Mansion?” Looking at the little maid, Liu Mufeng asked casually.

“Oh, answering Senior Liu, I have been working in the City Lord’s Mansion for more than a hundred years.”

“En, do you know the male cultivator who came just now? Who is he?”

“Oh, that’s the Fifth Young Master, the Nephew of the City Lord. His name is Ling Ran, and he’s the Son of the City Lord’s Second Younger Brother.” The little maid told the truth without daring to hide it.

“How many brothers does the City Lord have? Are there many Nephews?” After thinking for a while, Liu Mufeng asked again.

“The City Lord has only one Younger Brother. They were originally two Brothers. However, when the City Lord was not yet the City Lord, in order to compete for the position of the City Lord of Furong City, he became the protector of the City Lord. Both the Second Master and his Wife fell, leaving behind four Young Masters. Together with Young Master Feng, there are five Young Masters in our City Lord’s Mansion.”

“In other words, the City Lord’s Younger Brother and Sister-in-Law are both dead, and the four Nephews of the City Lord live in the City Lord’s mansion, right?” Liu Mufeng asked with narrowed eyes.

“En, it’s like this. Although the four Young Masters are not the real Sons of the City Lord, the City Lord and his Wife treat the four Young Masters very well, as if they were their own Sons.”

“So, which Young Master does the City Lord like the most?”

“In the past, it was naturally Young Master Feng. Anyway, Young Master Feng was the City Lord’s own Son after all. However, since the death of Young Master Feng, the City Lord has valued the Second Young Master Ling Xiao more but the Madam prefers the Fifth Young Master Ling Ran.”

“You’re saying, the Wife of the City Lord likes the Fifth Young Master?”

“En, yes, after Madam was ill, her temperament changed drastically. Sometimes the City Lord would be kicked out of the room by her, but, for some reason, she listened to Fifth Young Master’s words very much. Once Madam ran away from home, it was the Fifth Young Master who found her back. When she came back, sometimes, Madam would cry in the middle of the night, but as long as the Fifth Young Master came over to comfort her, she would sleep peacefully. The Fifth Young Master often accompanied the Madam and took care of the Madam, and the City Lord always praised Fifth Young Master for being filial, saying that he did not love the Fifth Young Master for nothing.”

“Oh, that’s it.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng expressed his understanding. He took out a fifth-level pill, and put it on the table. “Take it, I’ll give you this reward. Remember, if someone asks you, just say that you got the reward because of your good service. Don’t say, you told me, an outsider, about the Master, otherwise, you will be in trouble.”

“Yes, yes, thank you, Senior Liu, thank you, Senior Liu.” Nodding, the little maid hurriedly thanked, and carefully took the pill bottle from the table. She knew that Liu Mufeng was a sixth-level alchemist, and if she thought about it, the pill given to her was not a sixth-level one, but a fifth-level one.

After waving his hand to open the barrier, Liu Mufeng let the maid leave the room. He already had a general understanding of the Ling family’s affairs in his heart. Actually putting aGuworm in a crazy woman who lost her Son, what a beast with a human face!
