"Yuan Ji, what do you mean by that?!" Zhang Feng roared at Yuan Ji with bloodshot eyes like a wild beast, "Are you insulting me?!"

Zhang Feng, who suddenly stood up from his seat, seemed like a completely different person.

Her hysterical state startled Yuan Ji, who was sitting opposite her.

Even though Yuan Ji had already made some preparations in his mind beforehand.

If Zhang Feng were a normal man, he wouldn't have reacted so strongly.

But sadly, Zhang Feng was not a normal man.

It's not a tragedy to lack certain things.

But it's truly tragic to have something that you can't use.

Although Yuan Ji could not fully comprehend it, he could imagine what a man would become if he lived like this for a long time.

“Brother Zhang, you’ve misunderstood,” Yuan Ji quickly explained. “If I really intended to humiliate you, I wouldn’t feel guilty.”

"Furthermore, I would never mention this matter in front of Brother Zhang, so as not to make him hold a grudge against me."

"Brother Zhang, don't you agree with this?"

Zhang Feng, who had stood up, looked down at Yuan Ji.

After a brief moment of anger, Zhang Feng regained some composure.

Yuan Ji is right.

This is the truth.

But Zhang Feng wasn't stupid.

Yuan Ji suddenly called him over and told him about this matter, which was definitely not out of any sense of guilt.

After calming down, Zhang Feng sat down again and looked at Yuan Ji with a scrutinizing gaze.

Yuan Ji was also scrutinizing Zhang Feng.

After seeing Zhang Feng sit down again, Yuan Ji suddenly felt a sense of admiration for this somewhat pitiful man.

As a man, one should not do what men do.

His wife's affair was exposed, yet he was able to remain calm so quickly.

"You want me to tell my father to deal with Duan Yu?" Zhang Feng stared intently at Yuan Ji.

Yuan Ji's pupils suddenly contracted.

He thought to himself, "Just as I expected."

Indeed, those who can accomplish extraordinary things are no ordinary people.

Despite having this hidden ailment, Zhang Feng always maintained a kind expression and attitude towards everyone he met.

Instead of relying on a father like Zhang Rang to develop a twisted personality, he is indeed no ordinary person.

Instead, they quickly saw through his intentions.

That's right, he wanted to use Zhang Feng to deal with Duan Yu.

However, Zhang Feng's guess was incorrect.

He didn't want Zhang Feng to relay a message to Zhang Rang, so that Zhang Rang would attack Duan Yu.

This plan is far too simplistic.

In his uncle's words, such a scheme that only targets one person is too narrow-minded.

It's simply impossible to succeed.

Especially in dealing with Duan Yu, who has now gained considerable power.

Although Zhang Rang is Zhang Feng's father, it's unrealistic to expect Zhang Rang to deal with Duan Yu.

Duan Yu is now a pillar of the Han Dynasty before Liu Hong.

He could lead troops into battle, provide Liu Hong with money and provisions, guard the frontier, and most importantly, he was loyal.

Duan Yu was arguably the biggest winner of this trip to Luoyang.

Fame and fortune.

He was enfeoffed as Marquis of Ji, with a fief of 13,000 households.

Moreover, he married a princess, becoming a member of the royal family and further strengthening his ties with the emperor.

At this point, trying to attack Duan Yu with some crude methods is simply wishful thinking.

Neither Yuan nor Zhang Rang would work.

Besides, this is a family scandal, and family scandals should not be aired in public.

Knowing that his son Zhang Feng was incapable of sexual relations, Zhang Rang was even less likely to offend Duan Yu over this.

Therefore, when he first told his uncle Yuan Wei about this matter, it was already rejected.

Now, what the Yuan family needs is a grand strategy.

A game of chess that can completely turn the tide.

“Brother Zhang, you misunderstand.” Yuan Ji shook his head and said, “Although Duan Yu has a grudge against our Yuan family, Brother Zhang, you have underestimated us.”

"With just a few words, what can you do to Marquis Ji now?"

Yuan Ji countered, "Brother Zhang, do you think that even with your father's connections, you can shake Duan Yu's current position?"

"Let's not even mention that Brother Zhang's wife is the Empress and his brother is a great general."

"The Marquis of Ji alone is already unshakeable. Add the power of the He family to the mix. Brother Zhang, do you think anyone in the world today can shake such a powerful alliance?"

Zhang Feng fell silent.

The anger on his face gradually faded, replaced by rationality.

But the hand hidden in the sleeve was clenched into a fist, and was even trembling slightly.

Humiliation, resentment, and anger kept growing in my heart.

His wife was having an affair.

But he had absolutely no way to deal with the other party.

What could be more humiliating than this?

One Duan Yu.

One surnamed He!

Even if Zhang Feng's father was Zhang Rang, it would still be of no use.

Zhang Feng slowly stood up, then glanced at Yuan Ji: "Thank you for telling me. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

Zhang Feng bent down and picked up the medicine box from the ground.

Yuan Ji did not say anything to stop him, nor did he even get up to see him off.

She simply watched quietly as Zhang Feng slowly left the house and walked outside.

Only after Zhang Feng's figure completely disappeared did Yuan Wei, hunched over, slowly emerge from the corner of the room.

"uncle."

Yuan Ji stood up and gave up the seat of honor.

Yuan Wei nodded slowly and then sat down.

“Indeed, this young man is capable of great things, no less so than Zhang Rang.” Yuan Wei nodded in satisfaction and said, “We can proceed to the next step.”

Yuan Ji looked at Yuan Wei with some surprise and said, "Did your uncle send him here to tell him about this, just to test his character?"

Yuan Wei smiled and said, "Otherwise what?"

"Man proposes, God disposes; do your best and leave the rest to fate."

"No matter how strong one's plans are, they cannot defy fate. When the time is right, heaven and earth will lend their strength."

"The right timing, the right location, and the right people are all indispensable for achieving great things."

“If Zhang Feng is a brainless person, even if this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we should absolutely not let him succeed.”

"However, it seems that this young man has the temperament to accomplish great things," Yuan Wei said, stroking his beard.

Yuan Ji nodded repeatedly.

"Just wait. The less a person expresses their feelings or shows them their true feelings, the heavier their heart is. Just wait a while, and the seed that has been sown will take root and sprout in their heart and grow into a towering tree."

"Duan Yu will be betrothed to the He family, and the more entangled he will be with the He family, the more things will be about profit."

"This time..."

Yuan Wei narrowed his fox-like eyes, a sinister smile gradually appearing on his face: "I will let Duan Yu know how much he underestimates the power of the gentry!"

............

Outside Yuan Ji's residence.

Zhang Feng calmly boarded the carriage.

The moment I sat in the carriage, the moment the carriage door closed.

His face was contorted in pain.

"Bitch!"

With bloodshot eyes, Zhang Feng gripped the wooden planks beneath his feet tightly with both hands, his fingernails bleeding.

"Bitch!"

"I want you to die badly!"
