Chapter 316: Proposal

"Who are you two..." Xu Feng looked at them with confusion.

"We are good friends of Yue He and visited her mansion a few days ago," Ji Yanshuang explained.

"Oh!" Xu Feng suddenly realized that since he could make his wife reveal his true identity, they must be close. Thinking of this, Xu Feng's tone softened a little, and then he said, "Then, I wonder why the two ladies are here this time?"

Judging from their appearance, they didn't seem to be here to get medicine. Under normal circumstances, a rich lady would not come to the pharmacy to get medicine in person. If it was an emergency, she would not be here to talk to him leisurely.

Xu Feng's words made the two of them look a little awkward.

They couldn't say that although they had benefited a lot from visiting Miss Fu Yuehe and Miss Suying's study on their last trip, they were skeptical about what Fu Yuehe said and didn't quite believe in him, so they wanted to see with their own eyes whether he really had such literary talent, right?

Especially that sentence: In this world, there are countless things that I love, but there are three: the sun, the moon, and you. The sun is for me in the morning, the moon is for me in the evening, and you are with me every morning and every evening!

Not to mention the other wonderful words they saw in the study, just from this sentence, they could fully understand why a woman like Fu Yuehe fell so deeply in love.

"It's nothing, I just encountered some troubles recently. I happened to pass by Renshan Hall today, and I thought about Sister Yuehe's praise for you that day, so I wanted to see if you could give us some advice." Ji Yanshuang hurriedly found an excuse. Didn't Fu Yuehe say that the inspiration for her writing was provided by this person? Then let's try it out in this regard first.

To put it bluntly, as a wealthy family with a history of more than a hundred years in Xiaxian Town, they actually looked down on the owner of a mere medicine shop. Before Xu Feng took over Renshan Hall, they had dealt with the former owner Mo several times, and each time he was respectful and humble.

"Oh?" Xu Feng raised his eyebrows. He could clearly feel that the other party's words were half true and half false, and he also felt that the other party's request was a bit abrupt, but after all, he was his wife's good friend, so he couldn't refuse directly.

"In that case, please go to the back hall and talk." After all, the front hall is a place for business, and it would be somewhat rude to keep talking while standing.

The two girls nodded and led their maids into the back hall.

"The place is simple, please make do with it." Xu Feng said with a smile.

The two girls didn't care about it. After they sat down, Ji Yanshuang told them what had happened.

The matter was related to her cousin. Ji Yanshuang's grandmother gave birth to three sons, but there were only two male grandchildren. The eldest grandson needed to take up the future of the family, so he was placed with high hopes. He had been strictly trained by the family and was exposed to various family industries and businesses at a very young age. As his father and uncles traveled outside, they were rarely together.

The remaining grandson became her favorite. She had raised him by her side since he was young. Even his mother did not take care of him as long as his grandmother did. This was nothing. With the company of her grandson, the old lady enjoyed the happiness of family life and regarded it as fulfilling her filial piety for her parents.

But the old lady spoiled her grandson too much, and as he grew older, he looked down on everyone except his grandmother. Even his biological parents would scold or punish him severely for his improper behavior or mistakes. As long as he ran to his grandmother to complain, she would call the two of them to vent his anger for him.

Even though they knew it was the grandson's fault, as long as he acted coquettishly, showed a pitiful expression, and said a few words of admitting his fault, the blame would be easily lifted.

As the child's mother and mother-in-law, the couple felt that such indulgence would be detrimental to his future, but under the pressure of filial piety, they dared not disobey, so every time they could only make a lot of noise but do little, and in the end, nothing came of it.

As time went by, Ji Yanshuang's cousin became more and more unscrupulous and lawless. As he grew older, whether it was by chance or someone deliberately set him up, he gradually developed the bad habit of gambling, and spent his days doing nothing and hanging around in various casinos.

In the beginning, he won more and lost less, and was very proud of himself. Later, he won less and lost more, losing his monthly allowance and his valuable gold and jade items. Now, he has become dishonest and has been stealing valuables at home and pawning them at the pawnshop in exchange for silver to continue gambling.

Not long ago, his theft was discovered by his mother by chance, and after some interrogation, the whole truth was revealed. This time, Ji Yanshuang's aunt, who was almost fainted from anger, was determined to correct her son's bad habits and was planning to enforce the family law, but was stopped by her mother-in-law who came after hearing the news.

The old lady is very old and her mind is not very sharp. She won't live for many years. Only the little grandson she raised personally can make her smile.

The son went astray and refused to be disciplined, but his parents were unable to punish him because of the doting elders in the family. Ji Yanshuang's aunt was angry and depressed. She cried in front of Ji Yanshuang's mother several times, feeling very sad and not knowing what to do.

"So, you have developed the bad habit of gambling?" Xu Feng asked calmly.

Ji Yanshuang nodded and looked at him, wondering if he had any good ideas to solve the problem.

Xu Feng thought for a moment and said, "I can only say that I am giving you some advice from the perspective of an observer. Just listen to it."

"Well, please go ahead." Ji Yanshuang looked expectant, and Yin Ziyue also looked curious.

"How long has your cousin been suffering from this bad habit?"

"It's been almost three years, and he had been hiding it very well before. My cousin is quite smart, otherwise he wouldn't be able to trick my grandmother into making a small mistake every time he made one, but he didn't use his cleverness for the right purpose."

"That's it!"

"In my opinion, the simplest and most direct way to solve the problem once and for all..."

"What is it?" Ji Yanshuang asked hurriedly.

"Find someone secretly to break his legs and make him completely disabled! This way he will never be able to leave the house again, and naturally he will not be able to go out to gamble."

After these words came out, Ji Yanshuang and Yin Ziyue were stunned for a moment, their expressions were also confused. They really didn't expect Xu Feng's method to be so... so brutal! !

After a long while, Ji Yanshuang finally uttered: "This... this also..."

"Although the person is disabled, it will not affect the continuation of the family line!" Xu Feng said calmly.

"Although my cousin made a mistake, it shouldn't be this serious. If he becomes disabled, then wouldn't his life be ruined?" Ji Yanshuang couldn't believe that a drug store owner could act so cruelly. For a moment, she was inexplicably worried about Fu Yuehe. Yin Ziyue's gaze towards him also became gloomy.

Xu Feng was not surprised at all. After a pause, he asked leisurely, "Do you think your cousin got addicted to gambling by accident or by someone's scheme?"

"He must have been set up by someone. He is only sixteen years old now, and he was only thirteen three years ago. No one set him up, so how could a young boy like him enter a casino?" Ji Yanshuang thought for a while and said.

"Since they were deliberately plotting against him, and they finally caught such a fat sheep, how could those people be willing to not squeeze him completely dry? Fortunately, your cousin is quite smart, and the people who plotted against him dare not be too blatant, and can only act patiently and slowly.

But after three years, your cousin must have been trapped and poisoned. Unless his family is destroyed, it is unlikely that he will repent. If I am right, if we don't stop it, the people who set up the trap will soon start lending him interest and money to gamble. As long as there is a suitable opportunity, they will continue to stimulate and provoke him, making him lose his mind and lose half of your Ji family's wealth. "Xu Feng said.

Although it is not impossible to set up a trap and make him lose the entire Ji family's assets, the person behind it is unlikely to do so. Because if it forces the Ji family into a corner, it is likely that the Ji family will simply abandon him completely. After all, although he is a male in the family, he is not the only one, let alone the eldest grandson. No matter how much they feel sorry for him, they cannot let the entire family be implicated because of him.

The goal of the casino is to make the Ji family bleed heavily, make as much money as possible, and reap as much benefits as possible.

"Moreover, gamblers will do anything when they are desperate after losing. Your Ji family is not only interested in money." After saying that, he deliberately glanced at Ji Yanshuang.

"What does this mean?" Ji Yanshuang's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"You just said that there are only two men in your generation, what about the women?"

"Including me, there are five sisters in total." Ji Yanshuang replied.

"What if your cousin loses too much and the people behind him have plans for you and your sisters, and force him to help steal your personal belongings? For example, handkerchiefs, sachets, and even underwear. Miss Ji is dignified and beautiful, so I guess your other four sisters must be pretty too, right?

By the time your daughter's personal belongings fall into the hands of a foreign man, and he makes up some ambiguous stories to ruin your reputation, how will you cope with the situation?

After all, even if it is finally found out that it was your cousin who did it, by then, nothing will matter anymore! No matter what the other person looks like, what age he is, and what his behavior is, I'm afraid you can only behave yourself..."

Before Xu Feng finished speaking, Ji Yanshuang's face turned pale!

She thought it was just a worry about her second uncle's family, she never thought it could ruin her life! Although it was just Xu Feng's guess, it was not completely impossible. But even if there was only a slight possibility, she would never dare to be careless.

Yin Ziyue was also shocked by Xu Feng's words. She didn't expect that this person would think so deeply.

After the two of them digested it for a while, Xu Feng spoke again: "What I just said is only the simplest and most direct method that can solve the problem once and for all. If you can't accept it, I actually have another way here, but this method is more complicated and requires some trustworthy people, and it takes a long time."

"Please speak!" Ji Yanshuang was stunned, but soon spoke with a hint of respect.

"It's better to keep the wealth within the family! Instead of letting him get into big trouble by being schemed by the casinos outside, it's better for you to open a casino secretly and let him lose all his money to you." Xu Feng said.
