Madmen don't keep diaries

Chapter 240 239 The reason for saying thank you
Feng Xiuhu's original intention was just to move the most valuable items in the factory area church, but he ignored the brothers' backgrounds. They were all tired of being poor, and suddenly they had the opportunity to take everything, so they wanted to plow the church upside down.

After returning home, Feng Xiuhu was actually a little worried - he was worried that after Captain Byrne made a report, Vadracho would make him confess everything.

But I didn't expect that instead of waiting for news from Vadracho, I waited for another person.

The next day, a guest arrived.

After Feng Xiuhu came back, everything at home seemed to be back on track.

Although we moved, everyone quickly adapted to the new environment.

Only Feng Xiuhu was not quite used to it.

As soon as he woke up in the morning, he started complaining at the dinner table.

“The room isn’t bright enough.”

“There’s no backyard to breathe.”

“Going up and down the stairs is too troublesome.”

"It's too noisy on the street outside, with car horns and carriage bells."

"Even the bed isn't as comfortable as Guiyuan's. My shoulders hurt from sleeping on it."

Xiyaoer walked behind Feng Xiuhu and gently massaged his shoulders. "Master, I've slept in Sister Xiong's bed before, and I didn't think ours was any worse. So, is it the bed or the person that's wrong?"

Feng Xiuhu held his chin in his hand and thought: "Then come to my room to sleep tonight."

Xi Yaoer was delighted when she heard this and asked, "Really?"

Feng Xiuhu nodded: "I'll go to Guiyuan's house and squeeze in with her."

Xi Yao'er immediately pursed her lips and said in a resentful tone, "If Master really likes Sister Xiong, I am willing to help bring them together. I just hope that Master will treat us equally and not show favoritism."

Xi Yaoer spoke these words very naturally. Her tone and wording were no different from before, but some things did seem different.

Feng Xiuhu knew what was going on. He patted the back of her hand and said, "Don't worry. I won't forget you. When Guiyuan and I get married, you can wait on us in the room, carry the chamber pot, pour water for washing feet, and so on."

Xi Yaoer burst out laughing: "Master, you are making fun of me again."

Suddenly, the housekeeper hurried in, bent down and whispered in Feng Xiuhu's ear, "Master, the Duke's wife is here to visit."

Feng Xiuhu was stunned: "So fast?"

Xi Yaoer didn't hear what the housekeeper said, so she asked curiously, "Who's here?"

Feng Xiuhu curled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "The one who carries the chamber pot."

……

The Duke's wife was invited in.

Feng Xiuhu originally wanted to entertain her in the living room, but Wei Su'e said that she had some private matters to discuss in private.

Feng Xiuhu thought about it for a moment and guessed that Wei Su'e still didn't want to tell the secret to outsiders, so he nodded and agreed.

Several people came to the study, and after Xi Yaoer brought tea and snacks personally, Feng Xiuhu let her go out.

To the family, the wife of the Duke was a very important person. Xi Yaoer couldn't help but steal glances at Wei Su'e. Even when she left, Feng Xiuhu could still hear her chattering with Narcissus and Ganoderma.

Wei Su'e winked, and Wu Caifeng walked over and locked the study door, snorting coldly: "No rules."

Feng Xiuhu looked across and saw Wei Su'e with a stern expression, and Gu Zhili standing behind her also had a cold face.

Feng Xiuhu hooked his finger at Gu Zhili and said, "Come here."

Gu Zhili's eye twitched and she subconsciously looked at Wei Su'e.

Feng Xiuhu smiled and said, "Once you enter this house, you belong to this family from now on. Don't you listen to the master's words?"

Gu Zhili bit her lip, her expression still tough.

"enough."

Wei Su'e spoke.

She looked at Feng Xiuhu coldly, "Crazy beast, you and I both know the cause and effect. Put away those annoying tricks and let's talk frankly behind closed doors."

Feng Xiuhu leaned back in his chair, spread his hands, and said, "I thought we'd made it clear enough—you keep the person, I'll forget what happened at Tianya that day, and we'll part ways."

"Not enough." Wei Su'e slowly shook her head. "I'm not afraid to tell you directly that Ali is a monk from the Barefoot Prince Temple. Although she is a maid, she is also my bodyguard. Wei Jin took advantage of the situation and forced me to send her away. He just wanted to cut off my arm as a warning."

"But I'm going to be frank with you. From now on, A-Li will live in the Feng family. You must treat her well and not humiliate her. Otherwise, even if I can't do anything about it, the Barefoot Prince Temple will not let you go."

Feng Xiuhu sneered: "Why, do you think she came here to be a young mistress?"

Wei Su'e narrowed her eyes slightly: "If you want to worship her, I have no objection."

Feng Xiuhu rolled his eyes and muttered softly, "Damn, I hate dealing with stupid women."

"What did you say!?"

Wei Su'e raised her eyebrows.

Feng Xiuhu suddenly stood up, grabbed Gu Zhili's hair and pressed her on the desk.

"What are you doing!" Wei Su'e shouted.

At the same time, Wu Caifeng quickly made a gesture: "How dare you!"

Before she could cast a spell, misty chains suddenly appeared, binding her limbs and hanging her in mid-air.

Unable to move, Wu Caifeng shouted in panic, "Madam, please leave!"

Wei Su'e came back to her senses from her shock, turned around and wanted to run to the door, but thick fog emerged all around her, and in an instant everything was swallowed up by the fog.

In panic, Wei Su'e turned around and looked back at Feng Xiuhu. She forced herself to calm down: "Feng Xiuhu, if you dare to harm me, the master will not let you go."

Feng Xiuhu grinned and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm just giving you a warning."

"Wei Su'e, you can barely protect yourself, and you still have the time to worry about these two scapegoats? You think too highly of yourself."

He pulled Gu Zhili's head up and forced her to look up.

Gu Zhili's neck was tightly wrapped by the mist chains. Not only could she not use her magic power, she was almost suffocating.

Feng Xiuhu said, "Like I just said, once you enter my house, you have to listen to me. I thought you understood the logic behind this, but I didn't expect you're still confused."

"To put it bluntly, even if I killed them both right now, the Duke would not only not care, but would even send me banners with great fanfare."

Wei Su'e gritted her teeth and said, "Barefoot Prince Temple..."

Feng Xiuhu waved his hand and said, "Go to the fucking Barefoot Prince Temple! Go and call them over if you have the guts. Do you think the Duke of Da will whip you?"

Wei Su'e's face turned pale and she stopped talking.

After a while, she finally lowered her eyes.

"Feng...Father Feng, please let them go. Let's have a good talk."

Feng Xiuhu let go of his hand, and the fog dissipated.

"Cough cough - vomit -"

Gu Zhili slumped on the ground, covering her throat and retching. Wu Caifeng, who had just escaped, hurried over to rub her back to help her calm down.

Feng Xiuhu sat down again, holding his chin and staring at Wei Su'e: "If you had shown this attitude earlier, this wouldn't have happened."

Wei Su'e bit her lip and said, "Then let's do as you say. We're even."

Feng Xiuhu pointed at her and scolded her with a smile, "Look at you, you're still feeling wronged. No wonder you can't beat the Duke of Da."

Feng Xiuhu asked her in return, "Do you know why the Duke thanked me that night?"

Wei Su'e looked up, somewhat puzzled.

Feng Xiuhu kicked Gu Zhili on the shoulder: "Because I saw through his intentions."

"First, I took the initiative to ask for someone, which is exactly what the Duke wants. He can then take advantage of the situation and send this woman away."

"Secondly, I gave you a way out. At the dinner table, I patted my chest and promised that you, Wei Su'e, and I would put aside our past grudges and no longer hold a grudge against you for hurting me. But who can guarantee that what I said was true or false?"

"But it's different with this woman watching over me. I took the initiative to ask her to come here, not only to show my loyalty to the Duke of Daguo, but also to give you a reassurance."

Feng Xiuhu sneered, "Your man went to great lengths to find a way out for you, and you, a stupid woman, couldn't even see it. Don't say hello to me if you run into me outside. I don't play with fools."

PS: The Duke’s wife has a backup plan.
