If anyone else said this at this moment, Zhan Yanfeng would not laugh.

The person who said this was Ma, who couldn't even complete the phrase "holding the emperor hostage to command the princes" - if Ma was the first person in the entire Zhixuan Mountain to discover that Yuan Junfeng was a puppet, then these people would have lived half their lives in vain.

Zhan Yanfeng straightened the clothes he had just put on, smiled and comforted her, "No, you are worrying too much. I just came back from my eldest brother's place, and he said that Nanyin will stay for a few days and then go back, and the maid will leave by then. Think about it, if they really want to hold my eldest brother hostage, what's the point of holding him hostage for a few days, right?"

Ma was easily persuaded.

She scratched the back of her head, but still felt puzzled. "What do you think this is? We don't know what's going on with Lao Er lying there. How tired must he be to sleep for three to five days in a row? He looked energetic yesterday... Die Er just came back a few days ago. Lao Er loves her the most and stays with her all day. How can he be tired?"

"Die'er is also weird, as if she's not worried at all... In the past, she would be the most nervous when the second brother had a headache or a fever." Ma complained to herself, and then she realized that she had said something annoying, so she waved her hand, "Hey, the second sister-in-law was just talking casually, I hope I didn't bother the third brother? It looks like you're going out, is there something you need to do?"

"No, I just got my clothes dirty while painting."

"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, come to my second sister-in-law's for dinner. I've made your favorite dishes." Ma raised her wrists, which were covered with flour that she hadn't washed off yet, and casually patted them. She murmured, "Hey, what is the identity of this Nan Yin? We have been fine in the mountain, but why did he cause so much trouble when he came here... Come to think of it, did he have an attendant before? I haven't seen him for a while. I heard that he was driven away on New Year's Eve!"

Zhan Yanfeng paused while adjusting his robe. Nan Yin did have a guard with him on this trip, but the mountainous area was vast and sparsely populated, and he couldn't possibly take care of the whereabouts of an attendant. When Ma mentioned this, he suddenly felt a little nervous, "Kicked out on New Year's Eve? He made such a mistake, and they kicked him out on New Year's Eve?"

"Of course!" Ma looked around again and saw that there was indeed no one around. She wiped her hands with her big flowered jacket before going up to the corridor. She approached and said excitedly, "I heard that! The man's surname is Murong! Do you think Nan Yin is also from the Murong family and came here to inherit our Zhixuan Mountain... After all, you see, the Yuan family has no descendants. You, hey, you are still a widow. Even if you marry and have children now, it will take another 20 years for the child to grow up. The second brother, hey, they are all useless. The only one who is worth looking at is just thinking about going out. Zhixuan Mountain will have to be taken over by the Murong family!"

Zhan Yanfeng heard the following words, but didn't take them in at all.

There were only two words turning over and over in his mind - Murong.

Murong...Murong Shaoai.

The gentle woman who seemed to be made of water was from the Murong family. She spoke softly, behaved softly, and even walked gracefully like a thin cloud passing by, with a sweet fragrance. Her gentle smile was like a spring breeze melting the frost and snow.

He had never seen a woman like that before, and he fell in love with her at first sight. But the woman smiled gently, bent her knees, and called him, "Third Uncle." The spring breeze blew, and the ice and snow remained.

Now, when he suddenly heard these two words again, his chest, which had been like a dry well for many years, suddenly began to beat violently, making his throat hurt. He put his shaking hands behind his back, steadied his voice and asked casually, "Murong family? Second sister-in-law must have heard it wrong, who dared to let the Murong family come up the mountain in these years? Besides, even if we don't know Nan Yin's identity, how could Big Brother not know it? If Nan Yin is really from the Murong family, do you think he can leave alive?"

The word "Murong" has long been a taboo in Zhixuan Mountain.

Can’t talk about it, can’t touch it.

"Yes, I didn't believe it at first! But there have been so many messes these days. After thinking about it, I think what they said is very concise and may be true! Otherwise, sending people down the mountain on New Year's Day and it rained heavily that night is not our way of entertaining guests!"

It's indeed strange.

Zhan Yanfeng pondered for a moment before he began to offer advice, "Well, sister-in-law, you are right. It is unreasonable for the second brother to be just tired. What's more, we are not allowed to visit him, which is even more unreasonable. I went there just now, but was also stopped... But I went to find my eldest brother, and he just said that it was Master Feng's intention. Master Feng is an excellent doctor, and we can't say anything. But now Master Feng has a medicine boy who is also Nan Yin's maid. As soon as Nan Yin came to Zhixuan Mountain, he used the two maids to coax Master Feng and my eldest brother around. If you say that he has no bad intentions, I don't believe it. Let's go and ask for an explanation and find out who these two maids are!"

The wife of the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard looked a bit like Yuan Ge.

Now another follower of the Murong family has appeared.

To say that this group of people really had nothing to do with the Murong family... he didn't believe it.

Then let the second brother's family go and explore the way. After all, everyone is used to her being reckless. Besides, with her status, no one will punish her even if she really said or did something wrong.

"This..." Ma was a little hesitant. After all, the rules of the medicine garden had remained the same for many years, and they generally would not go there. What's more, after Yuan Ge's death, Grandpa Feng's temper became more and more weird. Whoever ran into him would be in trouble. It would be better for her to go to the Great Elder instead of Feng Qingtan.

"We are not going to quarrel, it's okay." Zhan Yanfeng lowered his eyes and smiled softly, raised his hand and gently patted Ma's shoulder, "Although Mr. Feng lives in seclusion, he is also a reasonable person. If you are worried, I can accompany you, but I have something to do at the moment, so it will take about a cup of tea. Otherwise, you go first and I will be there soon."

Although Ma was worried, she was naturally anxious because her second son was lying there with his life or death uncertain. Besides, Zhan Yanfeng was right. She was not going there to quarrel. She just wanted a definite explanation. Feng Qingtan had no reason to kick her out, right? Thinking of this, she made up her mind and nodded vigorously, "Okay! I'll go now! If my third brother has something to do, you can just do your thing."

Zhan Yanfeng rubbed his fingertips behind his back and said with his usual expressionless look, "It's okay. This is about my second brother, and I also want to get to the bottom of it."

Ma readily agreed.
