Feng Hai sent Nangong Yuanyi and others away and returned directly to the prefect's mansion.
Mrs. Feng's face was unhappy all the way. When she returned home, she saw Feng Hai still looking as timid as a mouse. She sneered: "Look at you like that. You are really scared by King Nan. King Nan is making such a big fuss." Didn't they do nothing to us, and Princess Nan was also quite arrogant, wasn't she? In the end, she didn't just let Wei'er go."
Feng Hai simply hated the fact that iron cannot become steel, and said angrily: "What do you, a woman, know, you stupid woman?"
"Who are you calling a stupid woman? Feng Hai, don't forget, who did you rely on to become the prefect? It wasn't our Huo family who promoted you. If it weren't for the help of the Huo family, you would still be just a small ninth-grade official. .”
Feng Hai was a prefect outside, and everyone fawned over him, but when he came home, he wanted to see his wife's face. Now the shadow of Tu Kui's arrest still lingered in his heart, making him very upset.
At this time, Feng Hai had long been upset by Mrs. Feng's quarrel. He slapped her hard on the face and said angrily: "It's because of you Huo family that I live in fear."
"Feng Hai, you dare to hit me." Mrs. Feng felt incredible that she was beaten.
"Stupid woman, if you and Mrs. Huo hadn't come to the court to make trouble today, those businessmen wouldn't have revealed so many things. We would have been in catastrophe, and you still dare to mention the Huo family."
Now that he calmed down, Feng Hai figured out that when King Nan decided to escort Huo Siwei and others back to the Yamen, he would bribe the merchants in Yuzhou in the name of trying the case, and even alienate the relationship between Huo and the merchants, so he finally punished Only people from the Huo family were there, and not even his son, King Nan, was mentioned.
This was obviously meant to target Huo.
Feng Hai added: "If something happens to the Huo family, they will be the first to use me as a scapegoat. Neither you nor your son can run away. You have the Huo family on your left and the Huo family on your right. They are really affectionate."
"They won't do this to me. I am the daughter of the Huo family." Mrs. Feng was still very proud.
"The daughter of the Huo family is nothing." Feng Hai had actually figured it out a long time ago, but he had been living in peace and quiet for more than ten years, and he got his wish and rose higher and higher until he sat on the top position in Yuzhou. The Huo family helped him, and he also gave the Huo family a lot of conveniences, so no one of them owed anything to the other.
He had a premonition that a big change would occur in Yuzhou. Either the Huo family would kill the imperial envoy, or the imperial envoy would directly destroy the Huo family's lair.
Mrs. Feng had never seen Feng Hai look so ugly. She had laughed at Feng Hai just now, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that Feng Hai was just a minor official back then, but later he was appreciated by the head of the family. Compared to other Sister, she is lucky to be married to Feng Hai as her mistress.
"Husband, what should we do now?" Mrs. Feng actually also knew that although her surname was Huo, she was not the daughter of the head of the Huo family. No matter how she married Feng Hai back then, she was just Feng Hai's wife now. She The only ones to protect are her husband and son.
"Now, we have to find a way to distance ourselves from the Huo family." Feng Haidao.

At the same time, Qian Fulai and Huo Weixi returned home and told Uncle Huo about the defection of the merchants in the Yamen.
After hearing this, Huo Kun just smiled and said calmly: "He wants to investigate the Huo family. The Huo family has been in business for generations and has nothing to do with the government. He has no reason to raid a merchant's home. Besides, he wouldn't dare. The Huo family is He can’t touch the Queen Mother’s family.”
Then, Huo Weixi told Huo Kun about Mrs. Huo's riot in court. In Huo Kun's view, Huo Weixi's eagerness to complain seemed superficial. Although he would learn it from Butler Qian sooner or later, the look in Huo Kun's eyes at this moment was obviously reassuring.
"For Huo Mansion's reception banquet, we will invite those merchants to accompany us." Huo Kun suddenly said.
Huo Weixi knew that because the merchants were wooing the imperial envoy intentionally or unintentionally today, Huo Kun was going to scare the monkeys by dealing with Nan Wang. If Nan Wang failed, the merchants and officials would be more afraid of the Huo family.
