After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

Almost...exposed.

Fortunately, the two guards who were at a loss what to do saw the old man coming from afar, and hurriedly saluted loudly, "Grand Elder! I am your subordinate!" The high-pitched voice and enthusiastic attitude made it feel like they had met a savior in a desperate situation. Among the three elders of Zhixuan Mountain, two had weak kinship and few relatives, and only the second elder had a prosperous backyard with many female relatives. It was very lively and noisy, and their relationships were good on weekdays. There had never been any quarrels or troubles. As a result, these "very united sisters" became the most difficult group of people to deal with on Zhixuan Mountain.

In addition, although these female relatives were concubines, the hierarchy in the mountains was not strict. These female relatives had the status and position of the masters and were extremely precious.

Reason doesn't make sense, and we dare not use force.

Wherever he went, he was almost invincible, and only restrained himself slightly in front of a few elders... But he only restrained himself slightly. When they were about to repeat what they had said before, Yuan Junfeng quickly pressed his palm and said, "I know you are anxious, but the second brother's situation is special. I have to ask Feng Qingtan before I can decide whether to let you in or how many people to let in... I know everyone is worried about him, so my third brother and I will go in first to see the situation. Everyone, stay calm, okay?"

After saying this, seeing that the concubines were about to open their mouths again, he quickly called Ma, "Second brother's wife, you take them down first. If you can see them, I will send someone to look for you."

Ma nodded and asked the most noisy ones to leave with her, and the other female members would naturally quiet down.

Yuan Junfeng breathed a sigh of relief secretly, but did not notice the slightly suspicious frown on Zhan Yanfeng's face when he followed him in: the words of the Great Elder at that time, "I am different from you, I have my little Ge'er", were particularly clear in his ears. When he heard them, he thought it was a subconscious reaction of the other party, but just at that moment in the TV cremation room, he suddenly couldn't help but wonder, why was it not "my Ge'er Qi'er" but just "where is my Ge'er"?

It was like an old man who had experienced the death of his children several times and was so shocked that he could not accept the fact and subconsciously felt that his children were still alive and was talking nonsense. The trance of sadness that followed seemed to confirm this. But for some reason, Yuan Qi's "absence" gave him an indescribable strange feeling, as if something uncontrollable was happening quietly in a place he could not reach...

"What's wrong?" When Yuan Junfeng entered the room, he saw that the other party was still standing in the yard in a trance and didn't follow him, so he urged, "Third brother?"

Zhan Yanfeng suddenly realized, and pulled the corner of his mouth with a fake smile, looking a bit perfunctory, "I'm here. The servants in the second brother's courtyard are really lazy and slack. Look at this neglected courtyard. If you don't know, you might think it's an abandoned garden... It doesn't look like the place where the second elder lives."

Zhixuanshan's Third Elder was the one who attached great importance to rules. Everyone knew this. So when he frowned and complained like this, even Yuan Junfeng didn't get suspicious. He just smiled and pushed the door open and walked into the inner room. Seeing Zhuang Lichuan lying on the bed with his eyes open, he greeted him, "Awake? Look at this kid. He started to find fault as soon as he came in. No wonder the servants don't like to serve him... because they think he's picky!"

Zhuang Lichuan's face did not look good, with a gray and worn look as if he was about to die, and there was some suspicious blood in the basin on the bedside table.

But Yuan Junfeng seemed to be unaware of all this. He walked a few steps to the bed and sat down, asking with concern, "How do you feel?"

He woke up when the concubines were arguing outside. The first thing he did when he woke up was to secretly practice his skills, but the sweet taste in his throat made him quickly realize that the little skills he had were probably gone - the half-grown girl was too cruel. Now his whole body was very weak, and even lifting a finger was tiring, but he also remembered that the girl said that it was ordered by the elder. Come to think of it, if it wasn't for Yuan Junfeng's tacit consent, how could a little girl dare to poison him openly?

With some grudge in his heart, Zhuang Lichuan spoke with some reservations. He gave an especially weak smile, "Much better... What happened to me? Have you been lying down for a long time?"

"It's been three days." Zhan Yanfeng stood by the table and touched the teapot that had already cooled down. "Feng Qingtan felt your pulse and said that you were just exhausted. Several doctors came and said the same thing. You just wouldn't wake up. They also told you to rest well and no one was allowed to disturb you. Look, all the servants in your courtyard have been sent away, and now even the tea is cold... Second sister-in-law hurried to find me, and I went to find my eldest brother, but Feng Qingtan's words were left here, and we didn't know any medical skills, so how could we dare to do anything rash? Of course, what he said was what he meant."

In just a few words, some important situations were communicated in advance.

Am I under house arrest? Zhuang Lichuan and Zhan Yanfeng also had some tacit understanding. After hearing what he said, they glanced at each other, then quickly retracted their gazes and only looked at the embroidery on the bedding, sighing softly, "After all, I am old... I didn't feel that busy, but I was actually exhausted. Brother, it seems that you still have to take over some of the things on the mountain in the future, and you can't push them all to me. You two have been happy to be idle these years..." He thought, if that girl was really sent by Yuan Junfeng, it was obvious that Yuan Junfeng wanted to take back power.

Since you have lost, you should save your face. It is better to give it up voluntarily than to take it back passively.

Yuan Junfeng looked at the other party's eyes moving rapidly while he was thinking, as if he was fiddling with an abacus. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. After a while, he sighed softly, and didn't respond. He just patted the back of the other party's hand and said softly, "You should take a good rest. You don't need to worry about these things for the time being. Third brother, you stay with him and talk. I'll go to Feng Qingtan to ask about the second brother's situation... The servants in this courtyard are really not in good shape. We should transfer two smart and careful ones to serve them carefully."

When the other party heard these words, they had a completely different meaning: it was not enough to lock him up here, but they also had to arrange spies to keep an eye on him all the time.

Zhuang Lichuan clenched his palms tightly under the quilt, and after a long time, he managed an ugly smile. He glanced at the Third Elder who looked like an old monk in meditation, then he stared at Yuan Junfeng's back as he walked out, biting his teeth and saying, "Goodbye, big brother."

The Great Elder seemed to be totally oblivious to the other party's gnashing of teeth. He nodded with his back turned, lifted the beaded curtain and walked out of the door. He then instructed the two frightened servants to take good care of the child, and then he walked out with weak steps... Zhi Xuanshan had come to this point, and he could vaguely foresee the end of their separation.
