368 The Battle for Women

Nan Hua's eyes glinted for a moment. This Third Feng Family… was really growing worse.

Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai's expression were not any better. Feng Ao Kuai's face was especially dark as he felt like he really didn't want to come here.

"It's surprising that such a big family can act so unrestrained," Nan Luo said tactfully.

Feng Ao Kuai scoffed. "The blessings for having big family might not always be a good thing."

Having too many children, especially children who were aiming to cut the throat of their other siblings, would only bring chaos. Feng Ao Kuai had seen enough from his cousins and honestly a bit worried for Nan Hua and Nan Luo.

The two of them were 'running away' from their father. But there would be time when they would have to face it sooner or later.

Nan Luo seemed to know what Feng Ao Kuai was thinking as he smiled. "Don't worry about me. Put on a smile for your grandfather, Brother Ao Kuai."

"I know."

They entered and a middle aged man came to welcome them. The middle aged man was indeed Feng Qian Kun, the third brother of Feng Qian Shao, who was also the governor in Wind City. After that bloody massacre in Wind City around three years ago, Feng Qian Kun rose to prominence and grabbed the seat as the governor.

With him at the highest status, he pulled his second brother's position and had been using his connection for many things.

"I'm happy that you have time to pay a visit, First Madam Feng," Feng Qian Kun greeted with a smile.

Nan Si Qiao nodded. She was the one who always asked Feng Family to address her formally because she didn't really want to be associated with this bunch of annoying people. Thanks to that, they were also used to call her with this address.

"Third Master Feng," Nan Si Qiao greeted back.

"Third Master Feng," Feng Ao Kuai, Nan Luo, and Nan Hua greeted.

Feng Qian Kun's eyes flashed momentarily before a smile formed on his lips. He beckoned for them to come inside. "The children are all inside. Ao Kuai, Luo, and Xiao Hua can play with them."

Nan Luo really wanted to say for this man not to call him so intimately, but his expression didn't change. "Thank you, Third Master Feng."

The group walked inside and noticed that there were a lot of people inside. Nan Luo took a seat beside Nan Hua while look at Feng Ao Kuai beside him. "I didn't know that there are indeed various type of people."

"Don't underestimate someone who has been at high rank for a long time." Feng Ao Kuai was calm. He knew that his third uncle was a very crafty person. For him to be able to hold the position as the governor even though so many people wanted that seat proved that he was not ordinary.

Even when he and Nan Luo tried to distance themselves, he still shamelessly tried to get closer to them.

"Indeed." Nan Luo nodded.

Nan Si Qiao looked at her children. For some reason, she looked at her third son, hoping internally within her mind that her third child would not grow up to be like either Feng Ao Si or Feng Ao Kuai. She had enough of punishing Feng Ao Si because of his naughtiness and enough frustration from being unable to read Feng Ao Kuai.

"First Madam Feng." A melodious voice rang from the side.

Turning her head, Nan Si Qiao could see a woman stood there. Dressed in beautiful peach dress, she looked beautiful. Her faint movement carried trace of elegance and gracefulness, making men unable to look away from her.

"Concubine Hai," Nan Si Qiao greeted with a smile.

The woman, Concubine Hai, was one of the many concubines that Feng Qian Kun had. However, her position was rather high because she gave birth to a twin for her husband, which allowed her to attend this gathering. If not, she would most likely stay at the back without being able to raise her head in the slightest bit.

"It has been a while, First Madam Feng." Concubine Hai smiled. Her eyes landed on the young baby. "The atmosphere in Han Zhong City must be very good. Madam Feng is really lucky to be able to meet with the right person and give birth to such a beautiful child."

Nan Si Qiao's hand trembled. How could she not understand that Concubine Hai was implying that she cheated on her husband when she was in Han Zhong City? Her eyes turned sharp.

"Concubine Hai must be joking. Han Zhong City is not any different than Wind City. The difference in scenery didn't show anything."

"Is that so?" Concubine Hai smiled. "I must have heard wrongly. I thought that First Madam Feng didn't like Wind City because you didn't come here for so many years."

"My health is not good. Does Concubine Hai suggested that I have other reason for not coming back?" Nan Si Qiao looked back as her eyes glinted. Very good. After not fighting with these annoying women for a long time, someone came to her doorstep to challenge her again.

In that case, don't blame her for not being polite.

"Of course not. How can I dare to say improper things?" Concubine Hai shook her head elegantly.

Nan Si Qiao let out a faint laugh. "My husband has been at the frontline for so long and only have time to accompany me for a short period of time. I think that he'll be displeased to know that his younger brother actually didn't welcome my presence."

This time, it was Concubine Hai's expression that changed. She knew that if Feng Qian Kun heard Nan Si Qiao's complaint, she wouldn't be able to get away. Even if the words were not exactly the same, Feng Qian Kun was a smart person.

"First Madam Feng, please don't misunderstand. I naturally welcome you with open arms to come here."

"That's good to hear." Nan Si Qiao took the cup of tea as she looked away. "For my husband to be badmouthed by an uncouth woman would be a huge disgrace."

She snorted internally. Indeed, offense was the best defense.
