Upon hearing this, the old man hurriedly took out an exquisite purse from his bosom. With trembling hands, he handed it to Zheng Fenghui as if he was holding a precious treasure, with a hint of urgency in his voice:
"Sir, how dare I lie to you? This is the reward your little attendant gave me, a total of fifty taels of silver." "There are words embroidered on the purse. Although I don't know a few words, the handwriting should be the name of the little attendant. You may wish to take a look yourself."
When Zheng Fenghui saw the familiar purse, his heart tightened. He grabbed the purse and opened it carefully, only to see a small "snail" character embroidered inside the purse.
This scene, like a bolt from the blue, shook his soul!
The little conch once told him that this purse was a gift from his beloved, and he regarded it as a treasure and never left it for a moment!
Under what kind of urgent circumstances would the little snail be forced to hand over its purse to someone else?
Unless in a critical moment, he had to do it!
Looking back, he wanted to vent his anger for Xiao Wenyin and make trouble for Gu Qinlan, but he was struggling to find the right opportunity and method...
It was the little conch that took the initiative to offer advice and led him to find the old man!
Thinking back carefully, when Little Snail offered to buy the rat snake from the old man without hesitation, the old man looked obviously surprised, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
However, the little conch pulled the old man aside and whispered a few words to him, after which the old man agreed to sell it to them.
Zheng Fenghui did not think deeply about it at that time, but now that he thinks about it carefully, he is afraid that the little conch had already realized that the snake was not a rat snake, but a highly poisonous snake, so he pulled the old man aside and used a large sum of money to induce him to change his words!
The old man looked at Zheng Fenghui holding the purse silently, his face as pale as paper. He could not help but glanced at Gu Qinlan and others nervously, and kowtowed and begged hurriedly:
"Princess Duan, I really didn't know that the little follower bought the poisonous snake to harm you!"
"Prince Duan fought bravely outside, disregarding his own safety, to ensure that the people of Western Wei could live and work in peace. Even if I am greedy, I dare not harm Prince Duan's family for a little money!"
The old man spoke earnestly and his emotions were sincere.
Gu Qinlan simply glanced at the old man, then turned his gaze to Zheng Fenghui and finally asked:
"Feng Hui, how do you feel about the situation in front of you?"
Zheng Fenghui slowly raised his head, tears welling up in his eyes. He sniffed, lowered his eyes sadly, and said in a very disappointed tone:
"I blamed my mother wrongly. I trusted others too easily. I..."
While blaming himself, Zheng Fenghui knelt down on the ground, kowtowed several times to Gu Qinlan, then turned around and prepared to leave.
However, Gu Qinlan stopped him: "Wait a minute."
Zheng Fenghui paused, but did not turn back. He asked in a hoarse voice, "What else do you want, mother?"
"What do you want to do with him?" Gu Qinlan pointed indifferently at the old man beside her and asked calmly.
The old man's body trembled, and he kowtowed again and begged for mercy, saying that he had no intention of harming the Wang family.
Zheng Fenghui seemed to have regained his clarity of mind at this moment. He spoke word by word with a firm tone:
"He should understand that a snake cannot possibly be worth fifty taels of silver, let alone a poisonous snake."
"Since Little Conch is willing to spend a lot of money to buy this poisonous snake, he must have an ulterior motive. I don't believe that you, an elder who has experienced so much, would be unaware of this!"
Regardless of whether he bought the poisonous snake to harm innocent people or to target Prince Duan's Mansion, his behavior is against the will of heaven and earth, and you are an accomplice. You will not be able to escape the punishment of the law, so you should be handed over to the government for trial.
When the old man heard this, his body instantly became limp as mud, tears immediately streamed down his face, and he cried and begged for mercy.
The eyes of the eyebag turned to Gu Qinlan, but Gu Qinlan just raised the corners of his mouth slightly and then waved his hand:
"Follow the instructions of the eldest master."
"As ordered."
The old man was quickly taken away, and Zheng Fenghui seemed to have been drained of all his strength. He greeted Gu Qinlan weakly and then left.
After Zheng Fenghui left, Xiang Zhu finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked:
"Princess, will the eldest son be okay?"
Gu Qinlan shook her head gently, a satisfied smile flashed across her beautiful face, and she said slowly:
"He can remain calm and handle the matter properly at a time like this. What could be wrong with him?"
Zheng Fenghui forgot the crimes he had committed and chose to forgive him because of the old man's words praising Prince Duan. Gu Qinlan's disappointment in him would probably deepen.
However, although Zheng Fenghui looked depressed, he still saw through the old man's attempt to evade responsibility and handled the matter fairly and selflessly. This really made Gu Qinlan look at him with admiration.
She once said that Zheng Fenghui was extremely intelligent, but she never thought he could be so sharp.
He was deceived by the little conch, ultimately, just because he was too sentimental.
The advantage of people who value love is that they are kind-hearted, but the disadvantage is that they are easily taken advantage of by others for their kindness.
Zheng Fengyun, who was standing by, was completely confused and didn't understand what was going on.
Why did Big Brother suddenly become so calm?
Why does mother still seem to be praising eldest brother?
Damn!
No! If my mother thought my eldest brother was smart, did that mean she no longer liked him? Would she no longer teach him her excellent archery skills?
Thinking of this, Zheng Fengyun couldn't help but slide down from the chair, ran to Gu Qinlan, held her hand tightly, raised his little face, and asked very seriously:
"Mom, what do you like most?"
"Ok?"
Before Gu Qinlan could react, she saw the little guy looking at her seriously, with a serious look on his face.
Although Gu Qinlan didn't know what he was thinking, after thinking for a moment, he still answered:
"I like flowers, especially peach blossoms. Why are you asking this?"
"I understand! Mother, I think my eldest brother's temper is not as good as mine, and he doesn't know how to appreciate women! You should like me more in the future!"
Zheng Fengyun changed the subject so quickly that Gu Qinlan could hardly follow his train of thought. She asked with some amusement:
"You understand women at such a young age?"
"Mother, don't underestimate me. I know a lot! Just wait and see!"
Zheng Fengyun said this with a defiant look on his face, then strode away with his head held high, appearing extremely anxious.
Xiang Zhu and Wo Can couldn't help laughing out loud. Xiang Zhu shook his head and laughed:
"The eldest son is too confident and has a stubborn temper, just like a stubborn donkey. On the contrary, although the second son is a bit arrogant, he still has that innocence and romance."
Wocan glanced at Xiangzhu, nodded seriously, and then said: "Indeed, he is heartless, just like some people."
"Who are you looking for? I've never seen anyone who looks so similar to the Second Young Master."
Xiang Zhu asked subconsciously, looking at the eye bags curiously.
I saw the woman hiding the smile in her eyes, turned her head away, and said casually, "You don't know me."
"Oh……"
Xiang Zhu responded subconsciously, but caught a glimpse of Lou Donglei, who had remained silent but couldn't help laughing.
