Chapter 37 Fantasy
Wei Yishang understood that Feng's mother didn't want to see her daughter suffer.

Right now, this whole thing started because of me. If the system hadn't notified me that they had met, Feng Yueqiao wouldn't have fallen for it like this.

For a moment, Wei Yishang felt somewhat guilty.

"Madam Feng, may I have a word with you in private?"

Wei Yishang already had an idea.

She understood that Feng Yueqiao was going through a period of intense emotional turmoil, and no matter what others said, it wouldn't make a difference.

Solving this problem requires ingenuity.

Mother Feng turned around and looked at Wei Yishang with some doubt. She didn't think that Wei Yishang, who was also a young girl, could have any solutions.

“Miss Wei, this is a family matter, you should not interfere.”

Madam Feng's eyes conveyed a clear message: Wei Yishang should leave. This was not the time to talk about sisterly affection.

"It is precisely because of my sister that I wanted to speak with my aunt in private."

Seeing Wei Yishang's determination, Feng's mother thought, "Let's hear what this girl has to say."

They went to the next room, where Madam Feng first coldly asked Wei Yishang, "Miss Wei, please speak."

“Auntie, the more forceful we are now, the less Sister Feng will turn back and the more she will cling to Boss Zeng. So we have to use a clever approach.”

Wei Yishang pointed to the room over there, "Madam Feng, you don't want Sister Feng to suffer a loss, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Feng sighed.

"It's not that I'm resolute, it's just that everyone else sees it clearly, but Qiao'er is the only one deeply involved. As her mother, I really..."

Mrs. Feng's expression softened somewhat.

"If Miss Wei has any good ideas, please share them so we can discuss them together."

She guessed that Wei Yishang might have a solution, and unconsciously developed a bit of respect for this young woman.

"so……"

Wei Yishang whispered something in Feng's mother's ear, which startled Feng's mother at first, and then she smiled slightly.

"But wouldn't this damage Qiao'er's reputation...?"

"Don't worry, Madam Feng, everything is taken care of."

Wei Yishang understood that she had to help her best friend get out of trouble.

She also thought of Ye Mingzhen, perhaps she had changed the course of the story.

Perhaps, with the male lead like this, Ye Mingzhen's opportunity will come.

Then he can happily be with the female lead.

Thinking of this, Wei Yishang felt at ease.

Once I complete the mission, I should be able to return to the modern world.

Mrs. Feng hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Let's do it this way..."

Zeng Chenyi was using an abacus in his shop when he suddenly saw several well-dressed people coming over.

"Gentlemen, would you like some tea?"

The group sat down and ordered a pot of the most expensive tea.

The value of this tea lies not in its variety, but in the container it is held in.

When the finest Yixing teapot was served, the group began to chat about everything from the teapot to the sandalwood.

Seeing that these people were knowledgeable and wealthy, Zeng Chenyi couldn't help but smile more.

At this moment, one of them stood up and called Zeng Chenyi over.

"I'm coming……"

Boss Zeng walked over.

"Boss, someone owes us money, it's the Feng family. We heard you have quite a connection with Miss Feng, and we'd like to..."

"No! I don't like Miss Feng!" Zeng Chenyi denied it directly.

Without a second thought, the newcomer immediately covered Zeng Chenyi's mouth with a rag laced with a sedative.

They led Zeng Chenyi out the door and into the carriage. They drove to the outskirts of the city and handed Zeng Chenyi over to a trusted confidant sent by Madam Feng.

These people were arranged by Wei Yishang to play roles. They were made up and mainly played Zhang Zhong, Wei Yishang, Cui'er, and the new shop assistant in the clothing store.

Zhang Zhong and Zeng Chenyi had never met before, nor had the other men. When they spoke, Zeng Chenyi didn't recognize them either.

Wei Yishang knew about this, and the fewer people who knew, the better.

As instructed, Feng's mother tied Feng Yueqiao's hands and feet, gagged her, and put her in another car.

Outside was Zeng Chenyi, who was placed in a burlap sack.

Several henchmen first gave the man in the sack a good beating, and then asked, "Do you know that your Miss Feng's family owes us money!"

"It's none of my business, hero!"

Zeng Chenyi begged for mercy from inside the sack.

“I don’t know Feng Yueqiao very well. She only likes me, but I have no feelings for her.”

Feng Yueqiao, who was in the car, was startled when she heard this. She recognized the voice, but couldn't believe he would say such a thing.

"But the money you used to open the shop was all given to you by Miss Feng! Tell me!"

The person inside the sack was terrified.

"That was a one-sided gift from her, a gesture of goodwill, and I only reluctantly accepted it." Zeng Chenyi began to cry. "My lords, I only wanted to find a woman from a high-class family who could be of help to my future. How could I have ever taken a fancy to that merchant's daughter?"

Feng Yueqiao, who was in the car, heard everything clearly, and her heart sank.

"I heard you gave Miss Feng a piece of jade? To show that the rock is immovable?"

"Oh dear, my friends, that was just for show. Feng Yueqiao always expresses her feelings for me, and I can't bear to refuse, but in my heart, I really have no feelings for her."

When the jade was mentioned, Feng Yueqiao heard the correct answer and tears streamed down her face.

She always thought that represented their feelings for each other.

It represents loyalty.

"Did someone see you enter Yafangyuan the other day?"

"I really like the famous courtesan Zhu Yu'er there, but my shop is not yet established. Once I've made it big, I'll spend money every day to have fun with Yu'er."

Zeng Chenyi thought of Zhu Yuer and added, "That Feng Yueqiao is only suitable to be kept at home. But I used to be a beggar, and worldly things don't matter to me. I will take the imperial examination in the future. Feng Yueqiao can't help me in terms of family background, and I don't like her looks or character. You can ask her for money. I can show you the way."

The people in the car already knew what was going on. Feng Yueqiao knew that forced relationships wouldn't work, and besides, she had only fallen for him because he was interested in her.

She regained some composure, but not much.

When Feng's mother appeared, she untied her daughter. She gestured for her daughter to be quiet and to speak to Boss Zeng if she had anything to say.

Feng Yueqiao's voice came through: "Boss Zeng, is what you said true?"

"Qiao'er, you..."

Zeng Chenyi was a smart man and realized that he had been tricked.

"So what if it is? You should know your place. Stop fantasizing..." Zeng Chenyi didn't change his mind.

Feng Yueqiao finally realized that she wasn't even worth a chance to regret her actions in front of him.

It turns out, he felt he was only fantasizing about a future with him...

"Let's go..."

Feng Yueqiao felt very tired, so she turned back. Instead of taking a carriage, she walked back with her personal maid.

After walking for a while, they saw Wei Yishang's carriage ahead.

Wei Yishang was already waiting for her.
