Chapter 159: The Old Aunt’s Man
Seeing the last bowl enter someone else’s stomach, Jin Fengqing sighed. She actually didn’t have a very high appetite. It was only after she had her skill that she ate a little more, but it was just a little more, about the same as a normal child’s appetite.
The butler’s biggest worry every day was that she wouldn’t eat. Now she didn’t have to worry. Zhang Can’er’s place basically had fresh and good ingredients, and she also particularly liked Zhang Can’er’s cooking.
Today was the most she had ever eaten, so it was no surprise that she was stuffed.
Lying on the sofa, she was very uncomfortable. Wan Feng rubbed her little belly and said with a low laugh, “Like a little puppy, you don’t even know how to control yourself when you eat.”
“It’s delicious.”
“Even if it’s delicious, you can’t eat like this. What if you get sick?”
Jin Fengqing pouted, unable to refute, and could only act cute.
“Oh my~ Second Sister, don’t say it anymore~ I know I was wrong.”
“You really know?”
Jin Fengqing nodded quickly. “I know, I know.”
Zhang Can’er sat on the side, drinking tea, and watched all this with a smile in her eyes. The current atmosphere was warm and happy. Jin Fengqing was like her and Wan Feng’s little sister. The younger sister was acting cute, wanting her older sister to let her off. How wonderful.
Unfortunately, happy times were always short. A knock on the door suddenly sounded, which made the people in the house fall silent for a moment.
Jin Fengqing also put away her childishness, sat up, and sat on the sofa with a serious face, without the previous childish and coquettish air.
Zhang Can’er sighed and got up to open the door.
Standing outside was the butler. The woman was still in that black tailcoat, and she had even deliberately sprayed some perfume on her body, looking dignified and decent. She looked at Zhang Can’er respectfully and said in a gentle voice, “The family head has had enough fun, right? It’s time to go back.”
The words were not directed at Jin Fengqing, but the blaming tone in them was directed at Jin Fengqing.
Zhang Can’er squinted her eyes and said in a lazy tone, “It’s nothing for a child to play a little. After all, it’s her nature. Just let her stay with us for a few days. Anyway, Sister Feng and I also like her.”
“The family head still has things to deal with and shouldn’t be slacking off.”
“Is your Jin family out of people? You’re all relying on a child to support you? This is not something she should be bearing.”
“The Jin family needs a family head.”
Zhang Can’er felt that she couldn’t reason with this kind of person and wanted to close the door directly.
But Jin Fengqing had already gotten off the sofa and reached the door. She looked at the gentle butler and said softly, “Auntie Fang.”
When Auntie Fang saw her, her eyes flickered a few times, with surprise and also relief. It was good that the family head was fine.
“Family head, it’s time to go back.”
“Just say what you have to say.”
Auntie Fang was stunned for a moment, looked up at Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng, and hesitated to speak.
“They are my acknowledged real sisters. There’s no need to go to the Jin family to pay respects. You just need to know that they are my sisters.”
“Family head! Aren’t you being ridiculous?”
Jin Fengqing looked up at Auntie Fang. Although she was much shorter, her presence suppressed Auntie Fang. “Where am I being ridiculous?”
“This… this… if those people find out about this, do you still want to live a peaceful life?”
“I’ve never had a peaceful life to live in the first place,” Jin Fengqing lowered her eyes and said in a low voice.
Auntie Fang was stunned and didn’t say a word for a long time. How could she not feel sorry for this child? But the position of family head could not fall into the hands of others. Only Jin Fengqing, the orthodox heir, could suppress the people below.
A small child had to bear the malice from her so-called uncles. At an age where she couldn’t even speak clearly, she had to start worrying about the future of the family.
She had thought more than once, if only her mother were still here, then Jin Fengqing wouldn’t have to work so hard.
Jin Fengqing sighed lightly and asked, “What happened? Tell me.”
Auntie Fang was pulled back from her thoughts, glanced at Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng, and finally spoke, “Qin Song and his fighter, Cheng Sun, were caught by the soldiers. We went to ask for them, but those soldiers refused to let them go, saying that they needed Lord Xiao’s consent.”
Jin Fengqing squinted her eyes in thought for a while, then suddenly said with a low laugh, “That old man Qin Song dresses like a human every day. Just because he’s the Jin family’s son-in-law, he thinks he’s superior to everyone else. It’s okay for him to suffer a little.”
“Are you not going to interfere?”
“Is my old aunt starting to make a fuss?”
Auntie Fang moved a little closer and said in a low voice, “She has already made a fuss twice. She went back when she didn’t see you.”
Jin Fengqing sighed, turned to look at Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng. “Sister, Second Sister, I might not be able to come for a few days.”
With that, she threw herself into Zhang Can’er’s arms, nuzzled her with reluctance, and then threw herself into Wan Feng’s arms and also nuzzled her.
Looking at the child’s reluctant appearance, Zhang Can’er really wanted to say “stay.” But the burden on Jin Fengqing seemed to be heavier than she had imagined. She had to manage everything, and she had to be clear about everything. If a decision was wrong, she would be scolded by the people in the family.
It was definitely not just that. How should the dead be settled? How should the future plans be arranged? And so on, all these things would be thrown at this child.
Even an adult might not be able to stand it.
Wan Feng lowered her head in thought for a long time. Looking at Jin Fengqing’s small back, she suddenly spoke, “Wait, the Qin Song and Cheng Sun you mentioned, are they a man in a suit and a man in a white shirt?”
Jin Fengqing’s footsteps paused. She turned back to look at Wan Feng and nodded. “Yes. Has Second Sister seen them?”
“Oh, it was me who sent them in. These two were causing trouble at Xiao Huan’s door, saying that we had to hand you over, or they would have the Golden Rope Connection raze Xiao Huan’s house. I thought they were two fools, so I didn’t tell you. I didn’t expect them to really be from the Jin family?”
Jin Fengqing closed her eyes, took a deep breath, turned to Auntie Fang, and said, “Does my old aunt like that fool so much? Can’t she leave him?”
After hearing what Wan Feng had said, Auntie Fang almost couldn’t maintain her gentle surface. “It’s not that my old aunt can’t be without that fool.”
Jin Fengqing felt that she had lost face. She was about to be angered to death by that old man Qin Song. She didn’t know why her old aunt had fallen for such a man.
“When we get back, have my old aunt sign the divorce papers.”
With that, Jin Fengqing looked at Wan Feng and said in a low voice, “Qin Song is not a Jin family member, just our Jin family’s son-in-law. He hadn’t done anything extreme before, so I let him stay. I didn’t expect this fool to go and break into Lord Xiao’s house.”
Wan Feng chuckled softly and stroked Jin Fengqing’s little head. “Don’t worry, Xiao Huan is not that petty. Since she could take you from Li Yitian, it means she has a request. Don’t worry, she won’t make things difficult for you. If she dares, you can just call us.”
Jin Fengqing nodded, took a final look at the two of them, and turned to leave.
Speaking of Li Yitian, she still had something to do.
