Chapter 257 – Feng Family Third Family
Feng Mo Yue's eyes lit up. Her cousin, Feng Ao Kuai, rarely talked with anyone and usually would only speak one word or two. It was so rare for her cousin to talk first to her. Most of the time, she would be trying to talk to him but he would not even give proper answer aside from nodding or shaking his head.
It was annoying.
But she heard from her mother that Feng Ao Kuai was valued greatly by their grandfather. Because of that, she had been trying to get on his good side from time to time.
"Cousin Ao Kuai, I just pay a visit to the girl that my mom said tried to cure your mother. She's still so young and yet she still dared to try something like that. Wouldn't you be angry first, Cousin Ao Kuai?"
Feng Ao Kuai's frown turned even deeper. Ever since he found out about Nan Hua's real skill, he had been in awe and had promised to himself that he would do anything to help her. Now, he suddenly found out that his younger cousin was actually trying to make things difficult for her?
His view about his annoying little cousin turned a notch lower.
"Hua'er is my cousin sister. I trust her. You shouldn't be here." Feng Ao Kuai ended his conversation and stride inside. At the same time, his servant quickly blocked the path between him and his younger cousin.
Feng Mo Yue was stunned. She could only watch as Feng Ao Kuai's servant prevented her from following after Feng Ao Kuai.
"Cousin Ao Kuai?"
No answer.
At this moment, Feng Mo Yue's face turned a shade darker. She had always been pampered by her mother and father. After all, in such a big family where the majority of people were males, her presence was like a flower that was inserted in a pile of plains.Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)
It was breathtaking.
Thus, the males always pampered her and tried to make sure that she always got whatever she wanted.
Feng Ao Kuai was one of the rare few who didn't care about her and instead tried to stay away as far as possible. This always made her annoyed, but she couldn't do anything to him.
Open your eyes.
Great General Nan was already a duke while General Feng was only a count at best. Oh wait, Commander Feng was even lower since he could only reach the rank of a baron. His military achievement was not enough for him to rise in another nobility ranks.*
If it was in the Capital City, she would have been shunned or worst, being punished for being impolite for someone at higher nobility.
"She's really brave," Nan Luo said emotionally. If it was him, he would have long been beaten up to death by his grandfather if he dared to offend someone of higher rank. Of course, he would never try to attempt it.
Feng Ao Kuai's expression didn't change. "She's just an idiot."
"I see."
Hearing Feng Ao Kuai being so blunt, Nan Luo was speechless once more. It seemed that Feng Ao Kuai totally disliked that young girl to the point that he showed his stance so clearly. When he was facing a lot of people, Feng Ao Kuai was usually so silent that it was so hard to know what he was thinking.
Nan Hua nodded. "Tell me more about your family."
"Hmm?" Feng Ao Kuai furrowed his eyebrows. "My father is the first son and the one with the highest ranking in the military. Second Uncle is also a commander but he's often staying in the city to guard. Third Uncle is an official. Fourth Uncle is... a low ranked soldier."
Low ranked soldier?
Nan Luo was speechless. He looked at Feng Ao Kuai but from the expression of the young boy, he could guess that he was not joking around.
"Wait a minute, is your Fourth Uncle still young?"
Feng Ao Kuai blinked his eyes. "He should be 22 years old this year."
"If he's a low ranked soldier, did he got married at least?" Nan Luo asked curiously.
At this question, Feng Ao Kuai's expression turned even stranger. It seemed as if Nan Luo was really trying to dig into his family's bad history.
"Fourth Uncle is unmarried. His engagement is dissolved two years ago because Fourth Uncle.... Is found with another woman in a room.. The woman killed herself so no matter what Fourth Uncle said, no one is willing to help him."
