257 Feng Family Third Family

Feng Mo Yue's eyes lit up. Her cousin, Feng Ao Kuai, rarely talked with anyone and usually would only speak one word or two. It was so rare for her cousin to talk first to her. Most of the time, she would be trying to talk to him but he would not even give proper answer aside from nodding or shaking his head.

It was annoying.

But she heard from her mother that Feng Ao Kuai was valued greatly by their grandfather. Because of that, she had been trying to get on his good side from time to time.

"Cousin Ao Kuai, I just pay a visit to the girl that my mom said tried to cure your mother. She's still so young and yet she still dared to try something like that. Wouldn't you be angry first, Cousin Ao Kuai?"

Feng Ao Kuai's frown turned even deeper. Ever since he found out about Nan Hua's real skill, he had been in awe and had promised to himself that he would do anything to help her. Now, he suddenly found out that his younger cousin was actually trying to make things difficult for her?

His view about his annoying little cousin turned a notch lower.

"Hua'er is my cousin sister. I trust her. You shouldn't be here." Feng Ao Kuai ended his conversation and stride inside. At the same time, his servant quickly blocked the path between him and his younger cousin.

Feng Mo Yue was stunned. She could only watch as Feng Ao Kuai's servant prevented her from following after Feng Ao Kuai.

"Cousin Ao Kuai?"

No answer.

At this moment, Feng Mo Yue's face turned a shade darker. She had always been pampered by her mother and father. After all, in such a big family where the majority of people were males, her presence was like a flower that was inserted in a pile of plains.

It was breathtaking.

Thus, the males always pampered her and tried to make sure that she always got whatever she wanted.

Feng Ao Kuai was one of the rare few who didn't care about her and instead tried to stay away as far as possible. This always made her annoyed, but she couldn't do anything to him.

'Hmph, what's so great about him?!'

Stomping her feet, Feng Mo Yue turned around and headed to her own quarter.

In the meantime, Feng Ao Kuai reached Nan Hua's room.

"Miss, Second Young Master Feng is here and wish to meet with you."

"Let him come in."

Xiao Yun stepped to the side while looking in the direction of Feng Mo Yue with annoyance. If not for the fact that Feng Mo Yue's servant blocked her, she would have never allowed that bratty girl to meet with Nan Hua.

It seemed that in such a big family, it was harder and harder to contend against these annoying people.

Feng Ao Kuai walked inside and saw Nan Luo. He snorted lightly before turning to look at Nan Hua, "I'm sorry about my cousin."

"It's not your fault."

The one who made things difficult was not Feng Ao Kuai but that young girl. Nan Hua was not that stupid so as to put the blame to someone who was totally unrelated. However, it would be good if she could find out more about Feng Family.

"Feng Family is a big family," Nan Luo commented. "However, misleading news travel so fast."

Feng Ao Kuai nodded. "There are a lot of ears and eyes here. My grandfather is the third son and his other two brothers are waiting for our downfall. As for my Second Uncle, he's bewitched by that woman."

"Your aunt?"

"Not really…" Feng Ao Kuai's expression turned strange. "Her real status is that of a concubine since Feng Family couldn't accept a woman of unknown origin as Second Uncle's main wife. However, she's practically the one with the biggest voice."

Nan Luo was speechless.

If she was just a concubine, does she really think that she was someone who could try to rebuke the main daughter from Nan Family? Does she really think that the Feng Family was more noble that Nan Family?

Open your eyes.

Great General Nan was already a duke while General Feng was only a count at best. Oh wait, Commander Feng was even lower since he could only reach the rank of a baron. His military achievement was not enough for him to rise in another nobility ranks.*

If it was in the Capital City, she would have been shunned or worst, being punished for being impolite for someone at higher nobility.

"She's really brave," Nan Luo said emotionally. If it was him, he would have long been beaten up to death by his grandfather if he dared to offend someone of higher rank. Of course, he would never try to attempt it.

Feng Ao Kuai's expression didn't change. "She's just an idiot."

"I see."

Hearing Feng Ao Kuai being so blunt, Nan Luo was speechless once more. It seemed that Feng Ao Kuai totally disliked that young girl to the point that he showed his stance so clearly. When he was facing a lot of people, Feng Ao Kuai was usually so silent that it was so hard to know what he was thinking.

Nan Hua nodded. "Tell me more about your family."

"Hmm?" Feng Ao Kuai furrowed his eyebrows. "My father is the first son and the one with the highest ranking in the military. Second Uncle is also a commander but he's often staying in the city to guard. Third Uncle is an official. Fourth Uncle is… a low ranked soldier."

Low ranked soldier?

Nan Luo was speechless. He looked at Feng Ao Kuai but from the expression of the young boy, he could guess that he was not joking around.

"Wait a minute, is your Fourth Uncle still young?"

Feng Ao Kuai blinked his eyes. "He should be 22 years old this year."

"If he's a low ranked soldier, did he got married at least?" Nan Luo asked curiously.

At this question, Feng Ao Kuai's expression turned even stranger. It seemed as if Nan Luo was really trying to dig into his family's bad history.

"Fourth Uncle is unmarried. His engagement is dissolved two years ago because Fourth Uncle…. Is found with another woman in a room. The woman killed herself so no matter what Fourth Uncle said, no one is willing to help him."
