Chapter 164: Treachery
Leng said aggrievedly: "I'm not in good shape now. If it weren't for the Marquis, why would I waste all this effort?
If you hadn't often lamented to me that the second young master's marriage was difficult, why would I have to bear the infamy and give up the second girl?
Now it's such a big fuss, I've really lost both my wife and my troops! ”
"Okay, don't be too sad. Your husband's matter has not been settled yet, there is still room for it." Fengxian Hou said, "It's just that he has been in that position for too long, and it is impossible to move. .”
"That's what I say, but who else can we count on besides you?" Mrs. Leng said while wiping her tears, "I'm just sad that all my hard work has come to nothing in the end. I only think about you, me and him." , in the end everything fell on my head.”
Why must the Leng family count on Fengxian Hou? Firstly, he does have some abilities, and secondly, I already have such a relationship with him, and if I switch to someone else, I will lose more than I gain.
As the saying goes, it is better to have nothing in one family than to have everything in one hundred families. When asking someone to do something, if you entrust too many people, the matter will not be done in the end.
"Why don't I want to help you? Haven't I helped you enough over the years? But there is no official matter that I can do with just a word? If you are just a sixth- or seventh-rank official, maybe it can be done. Your husband has already been from the fifth-rank official. Well, we have to go to the prince for further matters. "Actually, Feng Xianhou didn't tell all the lies.
"Salt and iron are in short supply, can't they be placed there?" Leng asked, "If we can arrange them in these two places, we can do it even if we are not in Beijing."
"You know it's fat, but others don't know it? I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at it. The foundation of your family is still shallow after all." Fengxian Hou shook his head, "Just a few days ago, the second son of the Wulin Hou family wanted to I even gave the King of Chu five thousand taels of silver to find a vacancy in the imperial army! Do you have this kind of money?”
Leng's question was stopped with just one sentence, but she still refused to give up. When Feng Xianhou mentioned King Chu, she immediately thought that King Chu was a very lecherous person.
So he came up with a plan to kill three birds with one stone: "Master Hou, didn't you say a few days ago that King Chu's birthday was coming soon? Have you thought of a birthday gift?"
"What else can I give? It's just some ordinary gold and jade jewelry. I haven't collected anything new this year." Feng Xianhou said, "It's not a good thing if you don't give it as a gift."
"I have a good idea," Leng said with a smile, "What if you give the prince a peerless beauty?"
"Oh? Do you have such a person on your hands?" Fengxian Hou perked up when he heard this, "But is he really stunning?"
"How come it's not true? If I tell half a lie, I will suffer poverty all my life and beg for food on the streets." Leng promised, "That's really a cute little fox girl, Didi, Didi. She is still a young girl.”
"From what you say, it's really a rare item. I wonder which family it comes from?" Feng Xianhou was obviously interested.
It's not like he hasn't given beautiful women to King Chu before. But beauties are always rare. It's not like King Chu has never seen the world, ordinary beauty can't catch his eyes at all.
"I'll tell you the truth! It's the little girl next to Wen Mingqian, her name is Saner. I don't know where she bought her from. To be honest, I've been to everyone's inner house in the capital, but I haven't yet. I’ve never seen anything comparable to her!”
The more she said this, the more curious Fengxian Hou became. To be honest, he naturally wanted to please King Chu. You must know that King Chu is second only to King Zhao, and his eldest son is also raised in Da Nei.
If the birthday gift can really be delivered to his heart, the benefits will certainly be indispensable.
And I did want to ask him for something, but I couldn't ask him for no reason.
"I don't know if she is willing to take advantage of this girl. It doesn't hurt to ask for more money." Feng Xianhou said. "It's hard for me to talk about this. Why don't the Marquis send someone to ask." Leng said with a smile, "But you have to say ugly things first. If this matter comes to pass, don't forget my benefits."

"Don't worry, if the King of Chu really likes him, I will naturally put in a good word for your husband in front of him. If you want to stay or be promoted, isn't it just a word from the prince?" Fengxian Hou agreed happily, because He knew that the affairs of the Cui family were simply not enough for the King of Chu.
When the time comes, this beauty will really win the prince's favor. All he has to do is say that she was recommended by the Cui family, and the prince will never be stingy in showing any kindness.
"In this case, it's better to do it sooner rather than later." Madam Leng said, "They are only staying in the nunnery temporarily. It's hard to say whether they will live in the capital or not in the future!"
Mrs. Leng's calculations were very clear in her mind. Wen Mingqian made her marriage with the Lu family fail, so she couldn't make it easy for Wen Mingqian, and he would have to bite off a piece of her flesh no matter what.
If things go well, Wen Mingqian will just lose a maid.
But with just two words, he was able to ask Feng Xianhou to take credit for him in front of the King of Chu. Is there any deal in the world that is more cost-effective than this?
It would be better if Wen Mingqian and Sang Er refused. She knew Fengxian Hou's temperament and would not give up easily.
When the time comes, they will naturally find ways to inflict hardship on them, and there is no way they will be forced to submit in the future. By then, they have been tortured, but they can still benefit. Wouldn't it be more interesting?
"In this case, I will send someone to check first tomorrow to see if it is really as you said." Feng Xianhou hugged Mrs. Leng affectionately. He knew that this woman was smart and capable, and this matter was most likely accurate.
"Your Majesty, just send someone to take a look. If you come back and say that what I said is not true, I am willing to bear the thorn and apologize." Leng said with a smile, "I'm afraid that if you see it by then, you won't be able to give it to the King of Chu!"
"What are you talking about? I'm already at this age. I don't have anything to do with it. It's more important to do business." Feng Xianhou said.
"In this case, I will go back. The house is still in a mess." Leng stood up, "I am destined to never rest in my life of no one's pain."
"Okay, stop complaining." Feng Xianhou said with a smile, "There are some supplements on the cabinet that others gave me. You can take them!"
Of course, Mrs. Leng would not be polite to him. She thanked him coquettishly, then took the box in her arms and went out.
The coachman was her confidant and was waiting outside.
As soon as Mrs. Leng went out, she got into the car and told the driver to go home.
She opened the box in the car and saw that it contained some fine supplements such as ginseng and deer antlers, and she couldn't help but smile.
"Wen, let you spoil my good deeds. Just wait and see, I won't make it easy for you either." Leng murmured to herself. She gently stroked the box while thinking about what would happen if Wen Mingqian didn't agree to hand it over. If Sang Er said that, how could she plot another poisonous plan for Fengxian Hou?
I couldn't help but get lost in thought...
