Chapter 238 Compromise
"Manager Niu, there is no need to discuss this matter any further. If you have a suitable candidate, I am willing to ask the Fourth Miss for help once. But if you want me to intervene in this matter directly and get involved in the vortex, I'm sorry, but I can't do it."
After Xu Feng finished speaking, he stood up and bowed, intending to leave immediately.
"Brother Xu, this Miss Suying is also very close to the one in your house." Qi Lin suddenly spoke at the moment when Xu Feng was about to step out of the box.
Xu Feng paused, but did not look back and just left.
Qi Lin and Manager Niu watched Xu Feng disappear, and both sat down with dejected faces. They knew that this was too much to ask, but they really had no other choice. The others were either just casual acquaintances or arrogant and conceited, not taking them seriously at all.
"Uncle, you have done your best." Qi Lin comforted Manager Niu.
Manager Niu did not react. Suddenly, he grabbed the wine jug on the table and gulped it down.
……
Xu Feng returned home and entered the inner courtyard. He saw Fu Yuehe sitting on the bed embroidering something in the bedroom. The woman lowered her head, and the needle and thread in her hand moved up and down regularly.
Fu Yuehe heard footsteps entering the room, looked up, and when she saw Xu Feng, she immediately put down what she was holding with joy and came up to greet him enthusiastically.
"Brother Xu." The woman's bright and charming look immediately improved Xu Feng's depressed mood.
"Well, what are you doing?" Xu Feng asked with a smile.
"Nothing, I just did some embroidery when I had nothing to do." Fu Yuehe said.
Xu Feng walked over, picked it up and took a look.
"This is……"
"It's just a sachet. Do you like it?" Fu Yuehe said with a red face, a little embarrassed.
Xu Feng took a closer look and found a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water on the sachet. It was very delicate and full of details. "I didn't expect that Yuehe, you have such exquisite embroidery skills. Good, really good. In fact, as long as it is made by you, I like everything."
When Fu Yuehe heard Xu Feng's praise, she lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Take it for me."
"Ah? Okay, but wait a moment, it's just a little bit left." Fu Yuehe said.
Xu Feng was not in a hurry, so he waited at the side with great interest. It is said that men are very attractive when they are doing things seriously, and in fact, women are no less attractive.
After a while, Fu Yuehe finished collecting the money and tied the sachet around Xu Feng's waist personally.
Xu Feng suddenly hugged her waist, then lowered his head and kissed her forehead affectionately. Fu Yuehe was getting more and more used to Xu Feng's intimate behavior from time to time. She blushed with shame and threw herself into his arms, not daring to show any part.
The two of them hugged each other like this for a long time before slowly separating.
Xu Feng took her hand and sat down. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Yuehe, when you were with the fourth young lady, did you have many friends in the mansion?"
"Yes, the Sikong family is one of the three major families in Chiyun City, and they have many servants. When we maids are free, we like to get together to kill time."
"Brother Xu, why do you suddenly ask this?"
"Nothing, I'm just curious about your previous life in the Sikong family." Xu Feng explained casually.
"Among these people, who has the best relationship with you and is closest to you? Well, just name the first three." Xu Feng continued to ask.
Fu Yuehe blinked in surprise, but facing Xu Feng's inquiring gaze, she lowered her head and pondered, thinking seriously.
"Well, first of all, it's Sister Ping'er. She is the smartest among us and has taught me a lot. She is the one I admire the most." Fu Yuehe counted out a finger.
"Then there is Sister Luzhu. We are the same age, just one month apart. Our preferences and habits are almost exactly the same, so we get along very well." Fu Yuehe stretched out her second finger.
Xu Feng smiled and said nothing.
"And, um, yes, it's Sister Suying. She is four or five years older than us and is very caring. Whenever any of us is wronged, we like to talk to her. She is the most patient." Fu Yuehe mentioned the third person.
The smile on Xu Feng's face froze and became a little stiff. In the end, he still heard the name he didn't want to hear. Qi Lin didn't lie to him.
"Okay, I've said it. Can you tell me what happened?" Fu Yuehe said with a hint of coquettishness in her tone.
"One of them is in trouble, and someone wants me to ask the Fourth Miss for help. Do you think I should go?" Xu Feng asked in a faint voice.
Fu Yuehe's face turned pale when she heard this, and she didn't respond immediately.
"Brother Xu, does this matter make you feel embarrassed?" Fu Yuehe asked timidly.
"It will bring me some trouble." Xu Feng said bluntly.
"Well, forget it then." Fu Yuehe bit her red lips lightly and forced a smile. She didn't even ask which friend was in trouble, but her hands tightly grasping the handkerchief, her knuckles were white, revealing her inner unrest.
Seeing this, Xu Feng gently pulled her to lie in his arms. His cheek rested on her black hair, quietly enjoying the tranquility of this moment. Fu Yuehe's anxious heart slowly calmed down under Xu Feng's comfort.
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Feng's gentle voice reached Fu Yuehe's ears, causing her body to shudder: "I'll try my best."
Instead of buying a few more maids to make the courtyard lively, Yue He would be happier if she had a long-time friend to accompany her! As for Sikong Chenyang, let him be an enemy. At least Sikong Hongyu still needs him, so there shouldn't be any big problems for the time being.
However, this matter still depends on the luck of this woman named Su Ying. If Sikong Hongyu favors his younger brother, then there is nothing that can be done.
……
The next day, when Qi Lin received a message from the maid in Xu Fengyuan asking him to meet his cousin again, Qi Lin was so excited that he almost jumped up. He almost fell down when he rushed out of the room, and immediately went to notify Manager Niu.
In the living room of Xu Feng's house, Xu Feng, Manager Niu, and Qi Lin sat down as host and guest, and the maid served tea and left.
"Guard Xu, you, do you really agree?" Manager Niu's heart was pounding at this moment, and he looked at Xu Feng eagerly.
I thought there was no hope and had already sent a message to Suying. I even thought that because of this incident, Xu Feng and I would become estranged in the future. I didn't expect that there would be a sudden turn of events and Xu Feng would change his mind so quickly.
"Manager Niu, don't be too happy too soon. I just agreed to cooperate with you. Earlier, when I went to visit the Fourth Miss after she went into seclusion, she mentioned that she could give me a few more maids from her courtyard, but I declined because my cultivation was more important.
Now you want me to propose to her that she should marry the maidservant of the old lady of the Sikong family, and you also said that she and I have already had feelings for each other. What do you think the fourth lady will think? Do you think she is a fool? "Xu Feng sneered at Manager Niu.
Manager Niu calmed down immediately as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him.
"Brother Xu, what you mean is..." Qi Lin spoke cautiously.
"There is no need to hide this matter. Even if you want to hide it, you can't. Let the fourth lady know all your plans. Give her the right to choose whether to side with her fifth brother or sympathize with Miss Su Ying and let her go. It's up to her to decide.
As for me, I am only a shield for you in this matter. I will not go to see the Fourth Young Lady, I don't have the face to do so. After all, Manager Niu, you are also the manager of the Sikong Family, you can't be unable to even see the Fourth Young Lady, right? You can say the matter, whether it can be accomplished or not depends on God's will. "
Manager Qi Linniu looked at each other in silence. It seemed that Xu Feng only had a tacit attitude when he said this.
"My trouble will come after the success. The hostility and possible revenge of the Fifth Young Master Sikong Chenyang." Xu Feng took a sip of tea and reminded lightly.
