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

As long as Young Master Xu is willing, his skin can be as thin as a cicada's wing or as thick as a city wall.

The other party coldly drove him away, but he acted as if nothing had happened, smiling playfully and even feeling like the host had taken over. He advised in a good-tempered manner, "What's the matter? I mean well, if you don't want to, just say so. I can't force you to get married, right? Don't worry, don't worry, we can talk it out, we can talk it out!"

If you give him some face, he will still be arrogant. If you are rude to him, he will try to smooth things over. It's like a fist hitting cotton, very powerless.

Yuan Ge felt that no matter how shameless she was, she couldn't do such a thing, so she lowered her head and looked calm, pretending to be absent-minded. She sat there motionless, but her mind quickly began to think about how to lead the topic to her mother in a calm and natural way... Now that she had only touched on the topic a little bit, the other party was already furious. She was afraid that this topic would not be easy to open...

But one has to admit that most people really can't fight against that conciliatory smiling face - at least Zhan Yanfeng feels that he can't fight against it so far, on the surface.

However, his face still did not look good. He sat upright, glanced at Yuan Ge, then looked at Xu Chengjin, and said patiently, "At my age, I should be a grandfather. I have wasted many years without knowing it. I have no choice but to continue wasting time. It is not good to delay the girl of a good family. In the future, you are not allowed to say these irresponsible words. Otherwise, even for Feng Qingtan's sake, I will not forgive you... You are so young, and you are making fun of your elders and teachers."

"Okay." Xu Chengjin responded frankly and obediently, with a flattering look on his face. He smiled and said, "If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten that you are already this old... Some people in the mountain said that Hong Lan was your confidante before. I said, if she was really your confidante, you would have taken her in long ago, right? Hey, I heard that Hong Lan's courtyard was robbed, and I was very scared for a while. Didn't the third elder go to check it out?"

The frost and snow that had not yet dissipated in Zhan Yanfeng's eyes were blown into thick ice by the cool winter night breeze.

"I've heard before that Master Xu and Commander Song grew up together, and now I believe it." Zhan Yanfeng smiled instead of getting angry, leaning back in his chair to look at the young man in front of him who was underestimated by too many people, and responded calmly, "Master Xu's words are biased. Sister Hong and I are just employer and accountant. In fact, I only knew her as Sister Hong from the beginning to the end, and I only knew the name Hong Lan a few days ago. In terms of personal relationship, there is no such thing, so there is naturally no need to visit her."

"Tsk..." Xu Chengjin shook his head and sighed, and said to Yuan Ge, "Luckily, Mother Hong didn't hear this. If she had heard it, I'm afraid her heart would have been shattered."

Yuan Ge nodded, but Zhan Yanfeng sneered and said, "You call her Hong Mama. How can you have a love for someone with a pair of jade arms that thousands of people have rested on?"

The words were indifferent, with obvious disdain, and in the increasingly dim light, there was a frightening coldness.

Hong Lan had been planning for him for many years, almost living and dying for him, committing crimes for him and being imprisoned, but she was still repeatedly abandoned. Even so, she never wanted to betray him. But in the end, she only got this kind of evaluation, a pair of jade arms that thousands of people rest their heads on...

I don’t know how Hong Lan would feel when she heard this, but I think no matter how she feels, Zhan Yanfeng probably won’t care.

Xu Chengjin was so angry that he was speechless. He rolled his eyes and took several deep breaths before he could find his voice. Even so, his face was still full of disbelief. "Why is she called Hong Mama? Don't you know? She gave up her job as an accountant and traveled thousands of miles to Shengjing to run a brothel and wine shop, doing her best to deal with a group of powerful people... You probably don't know how difficult it is for an outsider to gain a foothold in Shengjing, but she did it. Third Elder, I have only admired a few people in my life, and she is one of them."

"Zuihuanlou has made a fortune these years, and most of it has gone into your pocket, right? And is she selling those hallucinogenic poisonous wines to get information for you?" Xu Chengjin was so angry that he could even lift up the ceiling, let alone the skylight. So he said whatever he wanted to say without any reservation.

He dared to ask, but Zhan Yanfeng didn't dare to admit it. He suddenly slapped the armrest heavily, "What nonsense are you talking about? What poisoned wine! What intelligence! Hong Lan is not my wife or concubine, and Zuihuanlou was not commissioned by this elder. What does her behavior in Shengjing have to do with me? You really want to accuse me of something, and you can find a pretext! Master Xu has changed his identity, so he can speak so arrogantly in front of this elder?! Do you really think this is your medicine garden?! Or do you think no one can do anything to you just because you rely on him, Song Wenyuan? Master Xu, this is not Shengjing, this is Zhixuan Mountain, and you can't shout in front of this elder!"

Yuan Ge saw that something was wrong and quickly stood up to smooth things over, "Calm down..."

Before she finished speaking, Xu Chengjin had already pulled her behind him, "What do you want to calm down? What is he angry about? He was not the one who sold the poisoned wine, and he was not the one in jail. He just sits here with a cheerful look on his face, waiting to be paid. What a sanctimonious face! I was wrong to trust him in the past--"

Before he finished speaking, a strong wind came, and Master Xu, who was so angry that he could not think of anything, was caught off guard. At the critical moment, it was Yuan Ge, who was always paying attention to Zhan Yanfeng's movements, who pulled Xu Chengjin back. Even so, Zhan Yanfeng's angry palm was still not something Yuan Ge, who had only mediocre kung fu, could resist. The strong energy cut Xu Chengjin's sleeve and scratched his arm.

A trail of bright red blood quickly seeped out, and then Xu Chengjin belatedly felt the pain. He hissed softly, frowned to look at it, sneered again, and raised his hand to wipe it off.

Zhan Yanfeng stood there with a cold face, squeezing out four words from between his teeth, "You arrogant brat!"

The apparent peace was broken. Yuan Ge stepped forward with a cold face, stopped in front of Xu Chengjin, looked at Zhan Yanfeng and said, "Third Elder, it was wrong for him to speak nonsense, but you should know his character. He is warm-hearted, impulsive, and likes to stand up for the weak. When he gets excited, he will easily say something offensive. It would be fine if you could just scold him, but why hurt him like this?" Yuan Ge spoke with some reservation. Judging from the posture of the palm just now, Zhan Yanfeng not only intended to hurt people, he wanted to kill them to silence them!
