Spring comes to the desperate place

Chapter 349 Interrogation

Outside, people were drinking and chatting. Gu Fengyun became a father for the first time in his life, and he kept his mouth shut all day. Since he became a father, he started to grow a beard like other people, and he looked much more stable. Today was the day when his son turned 100 days old, so Gu Fengyun couldn't help but drink a little too much.

When Su Fuqing came over, she saw her husband swaying as if he was about to pass out drunk. Seeing that Su Fuqing looked strange, Song Chunlin knew that he must have received the news, so he hurried over.

"Sister-in-law, please bring some tea to brother later. I think he is about to get drunk." Song Chunlin handed over a teacup in his hand. This thing was something he just found out of the space. It was an ordinary old cadre teacup. It was filled with mineral water mixed with spiritual spring water. Of course, in the eyes of others, it was just ordinary plain water.

Su Fuqing took the teacup without changing his expression: "Chunlin is so thoughtful. I will send it to your elder brother right away."

The conversation between the two was too ordinary to make any clues. Su Fuqing continued to walk towards Gu Fengyun with a smile on his face. Song Chunlin stood where he was and could only see Gu Fengyun drinking the glass of water. His eyes gradually became clearer, and then Su Fuqing seemed to whisper something to him. Song Chunlin didn't listen, but when Gu Fengyun turned his head to look at him, he nodded gently to Gu Fengyun.

it is more than words.

After all the guests outside had left, it was almost the hour of Xu. After seeing off the last guest, Gu Fengyun watched the door of the mansion close, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

The steward nearby had already known what had happened from the subordinates. When he saw his master's gloomy face, he thought to himself that something was wrong and that he was probably in trouble this time.

It’s all that assassin’s fault. He actually dared to sneak in on such a festive day. He was simply courting death.

"Let's go back to the main courtyard first." Gu Fengyun took the lead and walked in front, followed by a large group of people, and they returned to the main courtyard in a mighty manner.

Several servants who were cleaning the main courtyard had been kneeling in the courtyard for two hours, but they did not dare to get up until their master told them to. They did not dare to speak until Gu Fengyun stepped into the courtyard. They knelt on the ground without even breathing, praying that their master would take into account that today was the young master's hundredth day and take advantage of the young master's happiness and let the marquis punish them less.

The dark soap boots stopped in front of them. Noticing the gaze of the person coming, they all felt a chill on their backs and crouched even lower.

Gu Fengyun stared at these people without saying a word for a long time. The silence around them made them feel even more uneasy. They thought they would definitely be severely punished, and they might even lose their hard-earned jobs.

Gu Fengyun looked at the person on the ground shaking violently, then he spoke with compassion.

"Give them ten beatings and send them back to the farm. I don't want to see them in the mansion again."

After hearing about the Marquis's punishment for them, all these people breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they were just exiled to the manor. Ten beatings would not kill them, but they would inevitably be skinned alive. Even so, these people could only kneel on the ground and thank Gu Fengyun for showing leniency.

Su Fuqing was in the room and had heard the noise outside. She had no opinion on how her husband dealt with those people. Her only focus was on her son. The little boy had just finished feeding and was a little drowsy. Su Fuqing held the child and walked slowly around the room to coax him to sleep. When she saw Gu Fengyun come in, she frowned and told him to change his clothes quickly.

"You reek of alcohol. Move away so as not to irritate the child."

Gu Fengyun helplessly stopped one step in front of the father and son, lowered his head and sniffed their bodies, and indeed there was a smell of alcohol, so he simply gave up and just glanced at his son's little face from a distance of one step. Seeing that he looked drowsy, his eyebrows and eyes became gentle.

After seeing her husband and son, Gu Fengyun went to the woodshed in the backyard. Song Chunlin had been waiting at the door of the woodshed for a long time. When he saw him coming, he went to greet him.

"Brother, the people inside are a bit difficult for you to deal with."

Gu Fengyun was puzzled: "No matter who he is, he must have sneaked into the mansion with ulterior motives. I am just punishing a thief, what's so difficult about it?"

The expression on Song Chunlin's face was like constipation. He pointed to the woodshed and whispered to Gu Fengyun that the person inside was surnamed Feng.

"Yes, that's your father-in-law who was arrested and imprisoned for several years."

Gu Fengyun was shocked at first, then speechless, and finally confused.

"He's letting him out now? I thought he was going to die in there."

Song Chunlin thought, that’s your father-in-law, is it really okay to curse him to death?

But Gu Fengyun obviously didn't regard Feng Shichang as his father-in-law. In his heart, the only elder of his husband was Old Madam Su. Feng Shichang? He didn't know anybody.

The vines on Feng Shichang's body in the woodshed had been removed long ago, leaving only those on his hands and feet. Feng Shichang wanted to struggle, but he didn't know what the vines were made of. They were so thin, but they were actually stronger than any rope, and he couldn't break free.

In order to sneak into the Marquis' Mansion, Feng Shichang hid nearby for many days, and finally waited until the Mansion recruited temporary servants. Feng Shichang used the last bit of silver he had to bribe the recruiting manager, and was able to sneak in successfully. Feng Shichang had been rich and glorious in his early years, so he naturally knew how to find the main courtyard where the owner lived. Therefore, he found out where the main courtyard was early on, and also saw Su Fuqing holding the child from afar.

Feng Shichang looked at his son and grandson with mixed emotions. If his Dalang were still alive, he would have been surrounded by his children and grandchildren, enjoying the happiness of family life.

But why, why was God so cruel, he took away Dalang's life, but left this little bastard. How could he, a boy, enjoy such tremendous wealth, how could he get married and have children so comfortably, and even changed his own name, how dare he, how could he deserve it!

The hatred in his heart was a seed. The moment he saw Su Fuqing holding his son, it quickly grew in Feng Shichang's heart and turned into a towering tree. Almost instantly, the thought of revenge emerged and could not be suppressed no matter what.

Feng Shichang was unwilling to accept that he had planned everything, but his Feng family still ended up with no descendants, while the culprit had many children and grandchildren. His poor Dalang was buried alone in the ground. Just wait, he would send his good nephew to accompany him. Although he was just a boy, he was still a prince appointed by the emperor himself, and could barely be considered his Dalang's son.

Feng Shichang had a good plan, but he didn't expect that plans could not keep up with changes. He didn't expect Song Chunlin to take the young master to the guest house where the Song family lived instead of returning to the main house. Feng Shichang was excited for a long time when he saw Song Chunlin leaving with Zhou Ning's child. He thought that he could take Zhou Ning's child away this time and let them accompany his Dalang underground. Anyway, Zhou Ning was the wife he had chosen for Dalang. If he himself was unwilling to go down to accompany Dalang, then he would let his son go down, which would also be a lesson for the ungrateful Zhou Ning.

Feng Shichang had been a little obsessed since his son's death. He was extremely excited to be able to take away the sons of his two enemies at once. He even calculated the time. He knew that children would take a nap in the afternoon and adults would not be around them all the time. Su Fuqing and Gu Fengyun would be entertaining guests outside, so there might only be a wet nurse and a few maids here. He was confident that as a big man, he could easily knock down a few maids and wet nurses.

But when he arrived at the main courtyard, he saw that there was no one in the empty yard. He was ecstatic and felt that God was helping him. But when he entered the house, he realized something was wrong. There was no child or even an adult inside. Just as he was puzzled, Song Chunlin appeared. At first, he didn't know who had caught him until he heard the servants say something like "Young Master Song" and then he understood.

I was actually caught by the Song family again!

Damn the Song family! If the Song family hadn't stopped him, he would have captured Zhou Ning and buried him with his son. Why are these Song family members so haunting? He can be found everywhere. Bah, what bad luck!

Gu Fengyun looked at Feng Shichang lying on the ground. He had never seen Feng Shichang before, but he had no good feelings towards this skinny old man. When he thought of the bad days his husband had experienced, he wanted to catch this damn old man and beat him up.

This person is crazy. They are his own children, how can someone be so partial to them? Just because his elder brother-in-law is a man, this person looks down on Su Fuqing who is his brother. He is either stupid or evil.

He stood in front of Feng Shichang, without even lowering his head. He just glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and turned away with disgust.

"Tsk, old man, you don't think that just because you are my husband's biological father, I will be lenient towards you, right?"

Feng Shichang snorted coldly and didn't say anything.

Gu Fengyun ordered someone to bring a chair and sat leisurely in front of Feng Shichang, interrogating his father-in-law on the ground just like he had interrogated the prisoners before.

"Tell me, you came here so sneakily, I don't think there is anything good going on. If you want to say that you have changed your ways, I will definitely not believe it. I have heard a little about what you did in the past. Considering that you are the child's grandfather, I can spare your life, but there is nothing else I can do."

Seeing that Gu Fengyun was really going to harm him, Feng Shichang begged for mercy. He curled up and knelt in front of Gu Fengyun, wailing miserably, saying that he had regretted his actions and had sneaked in just to see his grandson.

"I finally got out of jail, how could I do those stupid things again? I just want to see my grandson. He also has the blood of my Feng family flowing in his body. We are blood relatives, so how could I do anything bad to him?"

When Gu Fengyun heard him say the words "blood-related", he found it extremely ridiculous.

"Blood-related? So even you know the meaning of blood-related? Then tell me, why did you only name your child Feng Dalang when they are both blood-related? If they are blood-related, why was my husband not known to the world until Feng Dalang died?"

Feng Shichang was completely stumped by his two consecutive questions and hesitantly didn't know how to answer.

Gu Fengyun leaned over and looked into his eyes: "Of course you can't answer, because in your heart, you have never regarded a brother as your own child. You regard him as a tool, or in other words, you don't even regard your beloved Dalang as your child."

"No!" Feng Shichang subconsciously retorted when he heard Gu Fengyun talking about his Dalang. As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he instinctively felt that something was wrong. Sure enough, Gu Fengyun sat back with a sarcastic smile on his face.

"Look, you know who your heart leans towards. You don't even believe those lies, do you?"

Feng Shichang was speechless. He wanted to say that this was not the case. He really loved Dalang. He treated Dalang as his own child. He obviously loved his son so much. Thinking about it, he suddenly realized that what Gu Fengyun said was indeed correct. His heart was indeed biased. In his heart, Dalang was the only child he had. Even though he was weak and could die at any time and anywhere, he was a man. This was the most important thing.

Yes, he is a man, and only men can inherit the family business. A man, once he gets married, will belong to another family. What's the point of him coming?

So he was not wrong. There was nothing wrong with what he did. What Gu Fengyun said was wrong.

"No, that's not the case. Dalang is a man, and only men can carry on the family line. What can a boy do?"

"Why can't my brother do it? Do you know that your brother, who you call "incapable of doing anything", traveled around with his mother alone after your Feng family fell apart, and finally settled down in the capital, and even opened a cake shop on the street. Go out and ask around, who in the capital doesn't know the name of Shengji Cake? And all of this was created by your useless brother on his own. Just based on his courage and daring spirit, he is much better than you, an old man. How dare you say that my brother is useless? I think you are actually the most useless person."

Song Chunlin, who was standing outside the door, couldn't help but applaud. The first time he met his father-in-law, he scolded him harshly. Throughout history, Gu Fengyun was considered a rare warrior.

Feng Shichang still wanted to quibble, but now he didn't pretend to be pitiful anymore. He just sat on the ground and started to fight back.

"Humph, I knew that anyone who could be with that bastard was not a good person. What a pity that he didn't have time to take your bastard away. His uncle is all alone down there. As a junior, how could he not go down and accompany him?"

Hearing the other party say that he wanted to send his son to be a companion to the dead, Gu Fengyun could no longer bear it. He stepped forward and kicked the man in the heart, knocking him to the ground.
