In the main hall of the Zhou Mansion courtyard, the head of the family, Zhou Dafu, and the eldest lady, Hua Miaofeng, sit at the head of the table.
Zhou Qiaoyun leaned next to Hua Miaofeng, with a look of aggrievedness on his face.
Han Feng and Zhou Yunmei stood in the hall and saluted them.
"My son-in-law, Han Feng, meet my father-in-law and mother-in-law!"
"snort……!"
Before Zhou Dafu could speak, Hua Miaofeng snorted coldly.
"Han Feng, just outside the gate, did you teach Qiao Yun a lesson in public?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yunmei's expression changed.
Knowing that Zhou Qiaoyun must have sued them, he hurriedly explained.
"Auntie, things are not what you think. Han Feng..."
Before Zhou Yunmei finished speaking, Hua Miaofeng glared at her and interrupted.
"Who asked you to interrupt? I'm asking about Han Feng's words!"
Zhou Yunmei hesitated, not daring to say anything, and looked at Han Feng worriedly.
At this moment, Han Feng had raised his head and looked at Hua Miaofeng and Zhou Qiaoyun.
Zhou Qiaoyun leaned beside Hua Miaofeng, looking aggrieved and innocent.
Looking at Han Feng, a look of gloating flashed across his face.
"Yes, I gave her a few words of education."
In response to Hua Miaofeng's question, Han Feng nodded directly.
Zhou Qiaoyun hummed.
"Mom, that's not all. Han Feng was mean to me just now.
What do you mean, he is the head of the Han family branch, and not even his father dares to touch him! "
Zhou Dafu, who was not smiling at all, raised his eyebrows slightly and said nothing, while Hua Miaofeng looked unkind.
"Han Feng, you are getting more and more courageous.
Qiaoyun is the apple of my Zhou family's eye. How dare you bully her like this? Could it be that you don't take my Zhou family seriously? "
Zhou Yunmei's face became more and more nervous, but Han Feng looked calm and replied calmly.
"Mother-in-law, this is not what my son-in-law means, but the second young lady... does need discipline."
"What did you say!"
Hua Miaofeng's voice suddenly rose a few pitches, and her eyes became increasingly evil.
Han Feng raised his head and said.
"The Zhou family is one of the most wealthy and prominent families in Bailong County, besides the five major families.
Not to mention the master of the house, even the servants know etiquette and propriety.
Even if I marry into the Zhou family, I can still be regarded as the Zhou family's son-in-law and Yunmei's husband.
When the second young lady saw me, she just didn't call me "brother-in-law". Instead, she spoke rudely and insulted Yunmei.
It's a shame she met me for being so disrespectful. If it were other children of the big family, I'm afraid she would still be the one to suffer.
I scolded her a few times, which was also the duty of a brother-in-law. Could it be that my mother-in-law thought there was something wrong with her son-in-law's behavior? "
What Han Feng said was reasonable and well-founded, neither humble nor arrogant.
For a moment, Hua Miaofeng was speechless.
He and Zhou Dafu looked at each other secretly, and both of them felt surprised.
The Han Feng in front of him seemed to be different from before.
In the past, when Han Feng faced the two of them, he always looked timid and timid, not daring to speak.
However, now that he has returned to the Han family, he seems to be a different person.
Not only has his temperament become calm and collected, but his words have also become sharper.
Hua Miaofeng glared at Han Feng, unwilling to find fault with him again, but Zhou Dafu, who had been silent until now, spoke up.
"Ahem..."
"Xian son-in-law, you went home this time, but you haven't been back for nearly a month. I wonder what Xian son-in-law has been busy with these days?"
Zhou Dafu stared at Han Feng with a sharp look in his small eyes, as if he wanted to see through his true thoughts.
Zhou Dafu's gaze was still so sharp that Han Feng even felt a little secretly angry.
Han Feng had already guessed it since he became a warrior.
Zhou Dafu was obviously a warrior when his look in his eyes made him shudder.
I thought that this pot-bellied guy wouldn't have a very high level of cultivation.
But at this moment, the other party's gaze still brought a lot of oppression to Han Feng.
He couldn't help but be secretly shocked. Zhou Dafu might be a bit more powerful than he thought.
However, today's Han Feng naturally will not be frightened by the other party's look, and responds calmly.
"Father-in-law, don't be surprised. When my son-in-law came home this time, he planned to take stock of the branch's properties and merge them into the Zhou family.
However, when my son-in-law went home and took inventory, he discovered that the family's property and the industries involved were too complicated to be sorted out in a day or two. When he was so busy, he lost track of time. "
Hearing this, Zhou Dafu's mouth twitched, and he secretly cursed Han Feng in his heart for telling lies.
Zhou Dafu knew nothing about the situation of the Han family branch.
Apart from the fine iron ore vein, the Han family branch was completely destitute and even owed a lot of debt, so how could it get other industries.
However, everyone is a decent person, and Zhou Dafu did not expose Han Feng.
He just rolled his eyelids and said casually.
"I see, but my dear son-in-law, I have sent people to the Han Mansion to pick you up twice. If my dear son-in-law has something to do and cannot return home, just ask them to take a message. Why do you have to fight against those servants?
Could it be that the virtuous son-in-law feels that there is something wrong with you in my Zhou family? "
When Han Feng heard this, he knew that the other party was trying to find an excuse to attack.
But he had already prepared a response in his mind, and immediately clasped his fists and saluted.
"What my father-in-law said is true, and my son-in-law is about to report this matter."
"oh……?"
Zhou Dafu was surprised. He didn't expect Han Feng to admit it so readily.
However, Han Feng immediately showed an expression of indignation.
"My father-in-law doesn't know something, these servants you sent are really hateful!
I explained the reason to them in a good voice, but these servants did not know who they were instructed to maliciously make things difficult for my son-in-law and even uttered arrogant words.
Whatever you say, the Zhou family in Bailong County will say the same thing. The father-in-law, not to mention the son-in-law, the head of the Han family, and even the lord of the city must obey obediently.
But I, a mere little adopted son-in-law, dare to push back again and again. I really don’t know what is good or bad. "
Han Feng said emotionally.
"Father-in-law, please tell me, it's okay that I heard these words. If it reaches the City Lord's Mansion and the main line of my Han family, how should they treat the Zhou family?
The son-in-law believed that these servants had bad intentions and wanted to frame his father-in-law.
Then he got angry and took action to teach them a lesson.
I thought they would change their ways, but I didn't expect that they would dare to complain first. It really makes me angry!
If I see them again, they will be beaten again! "
What Han Feng said was extremely indignant.
But Zhou Dafu, Hua Miaofeng and others all changed their expressions.
Although I don’t know if what Han Feng said is true.
But that sentence, "If the Master of the Zhou family says something, the Lord of the City and the Master of the Han family must obey his orders obediently." It is really a heart-breaking statement.
If word spreads, there is no guarantee that the two major families will not attack the Zhou family.
Seeing Zhou Dafu being silenced by these words, Han Feng secretly chuckled in his heart, but his expression was extremely serious.
"Father-in-law, do you think my son-in-law did the right thing?"
"this……"
Zhou Dafu was stunned for a long time. Although he was suspicious, he could only hold his nose and nod.
"Well...well done to my virtuous son-in-law. These servants are talking nonsense and really need discipline."
After saying this, Zhou Dafu glanced at Hua Miaofeng again.
The couple secretly exchanged glances again, but they both didn't know how to speak.
What I just thought of was questioning Han Feng's words.
At this moment, with just a few words from the other party, everyone was blocked back.
For a moment, neither of them knew how to attack Han Feng.
On the side, Zhou Yunmei was worried about Han Feng, fearing that he would be punished.
Seeing Han Feng resolve the crisis so calmly, he was also surprised.
This man has changed so much that she seems to have never known him until today.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall gradually fell into an eerie silence.
Outside the hall, the housekeeper of Zhou Mansion hurriedly ran into the hall.
"Master, Madam, the Second Young Master Wang is here!"
"oh……!"
Zhou Dafu's eyes sparkled, he suddenly stood up and said.
"Quickly, let's go together to greet Wang Xiannephew, but don't neglect him."
