Chapter 248: Chapter 250: Silly Little Uncle

“Feng Ruoyan, the son of Feng Zhanlian is Feng Zhao’an. He and I, ever since he sent me to Fengtian Academy, were at odds with each other.”

Feng Luochen said mockingly, he almost softened just now.

It was thanks to this little child who burst out.

He was only eleven years old then, sent to a distant place, not allowed to bring any servant, apart from a gift, Feng Zhanlian didn’t give him a single tael of silver.

When he fell ill, he wrote asking for money, Feng Zhanlian did not even send a letter.

Not to mention when he was detained by the gambling house, Feng Zhanlian refused to give even a copper coin and berated him harshly.

If it were not for his sister and mother secretly supporting him, he would have probably died in Fengtian long ago.

“Feng Mansion is hosting a banquet, just escort Feng Zhao’an. Well, consider this jug of wine my charity to you, scram.”

Feng Luochen said angrily.

Feng Ruoyan glared at the child in Feng Luochen’s arms; on the street, she couldn’t make a scene.

After Feng Ruoyan left, Feng Luochen then patted the little fellow’s head in his arms.

“Whose child are you, being so reckless? Be more careful next time, if today weren’t mine, you’d be out of luck.”

The little one then looked up, a bright and beautiful little girl.

The little girl was only three or four years old, her face like a sticky rice dumpling, her big watery eyes fluttering, she said in a baby voice.

“Little uncle, if it wasn’t for Xiao Li today, you’d have been in big trouble. But now it’s all right, that bad woman is going to be in big trouble.”

Upon hearing this, Feng Luochen couldn’t help but laugh, looking at the cute and sticky appearance of the little girl, he couldn’t resist pinching her little cheek.

“Your name is Xiao Li? Then I should thank you.”

Feng Xiaoli slapped away Feng Luochen’s hand.

How could little uncle be like that fierce aunt who just moved into our yard, always pinching her cheeks whenever they met.

“Miss.”

Feng Xiaoli heard Chun Liu’s urgent voice coming from Zuixian Inn.

Chun Liu was frantic in the backyard of Zuixian Inn.

In the blink of an eye, the little miss had vanished!

Originally, Feng Xiaoli was at the Prince’s Mansion, and Su Wang came to teach her.

But who knows which talkative servant told Princess Consort Shun, and she said that no foreign man should randomly enter and exit the Prince Shun’s Mansion, so she didn’t allow Su Wang to teach.

Left with no choice, Chun Liu had to take Feng Xiaoli to Xinglin Spring. After her class, Xiao Li insisted on going to Zuixian Inn for milk tea and thinking that at this time the miss and Miss Ouyang should also be at Zuixian Inn, Chun Liu took her there.

But turned head for only a moment, and the little miss was gone.

“Liuliu is looking for me, silly silly little uncle, see you next time.”

Feng Xiaoli made a face at Feng Luochen and hopped into Zuixian Inn.

Silly… little uncle?

Are kids these days all this presumptuous?

Feng Luochen was speechless, carrying the wine jug, he then went to Chuyue Tower.

In the evening, Feng Bailing and Ouyang Chenchen arrived together at Zuixian Inn.

“Is Xiao Li drunk?”

As soon as Feng Bailing arrived, she saw her daughter lying in Chun Liu’s arms, sound asleep, and she was emanating a smell of alcohol.

“Miss, I don’t know how, but she ran into the cellar, that one, the cellar where you hide your wines. I found her there already drunk.”

Chun Liu was on the verge of tears.

The cellar was so hidden, even Chun Liu hadn’t noticed it, and she didn’t know how Feng Xiaoli got in there.

The cellar was precisely where Feng Bailing had found Rainbow Five Treasures Brew earlier, and after the Five Treasures Brew was moved, the newly made Monkey Wine was stored there.

On normal days, neither the workers nor the boss are allowed to enter.

Ouyang Chenchen just went down there, and couldn’t stop laughing until he came back up.

“Bai Ling, if your daughter doesn’t become an Immortal of Alcohol, guess what? She drank an entire barrel of Monkey Wine in the cellar. That’s a whole ten jin.”

Feng Bailing was stunned upon hearing this and hurriedly took her pulse.

“Sugar water~so sweet~burp~Her Majesty~hug~”

Feng Xiaoli squinted her eyes, seeing her mother’s face and broke into a smile, her little dimples showing.

Feng Bailing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Turns out, Xiaoli had mistaken the Monkey Wine for sugar water. Fortunately, aside from her belly being bloated, she seemed to be fine otherwise.

“Little alcohol~”

Feng Xiaoli stuttered as she wanted to tell Feng Bailing that she had met her little uncle today.

But as the effects of the alcohol hit, she could no longer keep her eyes open and fell asleep in Feng Bailing’s arms.

“We need to have someone guard the wine cellar from now on.”

Feng Bailing instructed the manager before carrying his daughter back to Prince Shun’s Mansion.

Upon returning to Prince Shun’s Mansion, Feng Bailing saw Feng Mansion’s horse carriage waiting at the entrance.

Feng Zhao’an stood respectfully in front of the horse carriage and smiled upon seeing Feng Bailing.

“Zhao’an, when did you get back?”

Feng Bailing was taken aback.

In that lifetime, he and Feng Zhao’an hadn’t really spent much time together.

“I’ve only been back a few days. The mansion has been busy, so I haven’t had the chance to visit you. Tonight, there’s a banquet at Feng Mansion, and as your sister-in-law and her husband are visiting, I specially came to invite you and your husband.”

Normally, Feng Bailing would outright refuse.

But he had heard that recently Feng Zhanlian was unwell, and someone had been sent to Prince Shun’s Mansion several times; he wasn’t around those days, and they were refused.

Moreover, Feng Zhao’an had also visited Princess’ Mansion, and although Dongfang Lianhua didn’t like Feng Mansion, she had always been polite to Feng Zhao’an.

Seeing Feng Zhao’an’s candid face, Feng Bailing thought to himself.

This Feng Zhao’an is really not easy to deal with.

“Brother-in-law!”

Just then, Dugu Wu’s carriage also returned.

Dugu Wu got out with Dugu Xiaojin, who had gone to pick up his son.

“What happened to Xiaoli?”

Dugu Xiaojin hurriedly went to see her sister.

Feng Bailing handed Xiaoli to Chun Liu to take the siblings back first.

“Since Zhao’an himself has come to invite us, let’s go and visit Feng Mansion.”

Dugu Wu had a good impression of Feng Zhao’an.

Although Feng Zhao’an came from Feng Mansion, he was a rare clear-headed member of it.

After returning to Chu City, he had met Dugu Wu. He was also someone Dugu Wu intended to recruit, only delayed due to his marriage to Feng Bailing.

Dugu Wu also planned to use this opportunity to observe Feng Zhao’an more.

Feng Bailing, however, was secretly displeased; As the saying goes, ‘a dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix,’ Feng Zhao’an was the son of Feng Zhanlian and concubine Aunt Xue, how could he be of good ilk.

“If that’s the case, let’s go together.”

Feng Bailing said, walking behind Dugu Wu, she pushed him forward, and the couple appeared harmonious.

Feng Zhao’an bowed and waited for them to get on the horse carriage before he lifted his head.

The remaining sunlight caught in his eyes, making his expression unreadable.
