The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1791 Madam Han Arrests Han Nianxia

Cheng Feng's face showed disdain and incomprehension. "Why learn that stuff? Isn't it just because you're bored? No wonder Han Nianxia begged me to stay at our residence for a while!"

Shang Xi whispered a few words in Cheng Feng's ear, and Cheng Feng finally realized what was going on. His expression also turned ugly. "Isn't this just randomly matchmaking? Why is the Han family involved everywhere? They didn't even agree to Han Nianxia marrying Sha Yueteng's uncle back then, and now they're eyeing Suiming. They might as well marry Han Nianxia to my uncle! That way, the Han family would have a powerful backer."

Shang Xi asked Cheng Feng, "Do you also think this is inappropriate?"

"What do you mean 'accept'? Who is Suiming? She's my uncle's darling. Today, the old steward is holding a roster full of daughters of high-ranking officials. Those with lower ranks are not considered. With Han Nianxia's head, do you think she's worthy of Suiming? Just because she's my mother's niece? Look at Zhong Lingding, and then look at Han Nianxia. One can sing and dance, and the other only knows how to eat. Even the Emperor wouldn't agree to this. She even started practicing singing and dancing at home. These are skills that require childhood training. She's already in her twenties and only started practicing now. It's all for nothing. In the end, it'll all be for nothing!"

Shang Xi asked, "How can you be so sure!"

"Han Muran is the best example. She even learned the secret techniques of the bedroom. How shameful! What's wrong with her now? She's in a nunnery trying to cultivate herself. If her mind isn't at peace, her cultivation is all for nothing. The Han family members are all ambitious and unrealistic. Han Muran, who is so smart and clever, didn't get what she wanted, while Han Nianxia, ​​a glutton, was able to marry into the General's Mansion!" Cheng Feng's face grew uglier and uglier as he spoke!

Shang Xi said, "Maybe fools are just lucky!"

"No way. My life's most important matter is in my uncle's hands. He values ​​family background very much. You think Zhong Lingding danced well? It's because the Emperor felt that her family background was good enough, and she is Zhong Siyu's niece, so he nodded in approval."

"And Han Nianxia is the Emperor's sister-in-law's niece!"

"There's a difference between nieces. Han Nianxia is this age, but other nieces are that age!"

"Sui Ming is about the same age as you, but Han Nianxia is younger than Sui Ming! Age is not a problem!"

"What's the use of being young? Han Nianxia is the oldest spinster in the family. Why did she become an old spinster? It's because she's worried about getting married. Now, someone who can't get married is being forced to marry a general with great military achievements. What does she think? She can't even get past her uncle. The Emperor has met Han Nianxia and doesn't have a good impression of her, and he has an even worse impression of the Han family. Bringing this up will only make things awkward. My mother is willing to do anything for her family. Doesn't she even consider whether the Han family is cut out for a career in government?"

Shang Xi could tell that Cheng Feng was dissatisfied with the Han family. In the past, Cheng Feng had always been prejudiced against the Han family. Why was he so disgusted with them today?

"Isn't your older cousin pursuing a government career? I heard his salary isn't low!"

Mentioning this, Cheng Feng shook his head, "My eldest cousin's position is a nominal one, a nominal one with no actual duties. It was my uncle's way of giving face to my mother!"

"Even a nominal post is still an official position, a third-rank nominal post. It's quite prestigious to talk about!"

"What do you know! Did you know the Han family is building a house?"

Shang Xi felt something was off. "A merchant family, building a mansion proves that the Han family has money! Our family also repaired our roof last year, what's so strange about that!"

Cheng Feng leaned close to Shang Xi's ear and whispered a few words. Shang Xi's body stiffened. "Selling official positions?"

Cheng Feng shook his head slightly. "Keep your voice down! Don't let my mother know."

"Could it really be true?" Shang Xi couldn't believe that someone who had been an official for less than a year would have such audacity!

"Would I dare spread this around? I've subtly hinted at it twice." Cheng Feng shook his head helplessly. "Hopeless!"

"Traveling a thousand miles to become an official just for money, really? What about the Han family?"

"Remember Cheng Youning using the kite incident to make money? That was Cheng Youning; anyone else would have been executed along with their entire family long ago. Uncle's eyes and ears are sharp! The Han family has really messed up this time! Haven't you noticed I haven't been getting too close to them lately?"

Shang Xi gave Cheng Feng a deep look, "Then why did you let Han Nianxia stay at your residence!"

"With so many people around, she grabbed my sleeve. Men and women shouldn't touch each other. How could I let her? I had no choice but to agree. She's a woman, so let her stay. If something happens to the Han family, it won't affect us."

"What about Mother?"

"If she didn't try her best to get an official position for the Han family, the Han family wouldn't have the chance! Why did my uncle keep avoiding my mother during that time? Do you think that attendant was just there to get money for my uncle? He goes to every prominent and influential official in Fengying City! Including our family, he visits them regularly."

Shang Xi looked into the courtyard: "Really?"

"You think I'm bluffing? Quite a few of our Prince's servants have come. My uncle is extremely suspicious. As soon as the Han family arrived in Fengying City, he had already investigated them thoroughly! It's possible that he's already heard a lot about what's going on!"

Shang Xi's head was spinning: "Won't this affect us?"

Cheng Feng put his arm around Shang Xi and walked forward. "What are you afraid of? I'm not the one selling official positions for personal gain, so what are you afraid of? I've already given him the warnings I needed to give. If he doesn't take the right path, there's nothing I can do!"

"I'm afraid he'll exterminate his entire family!"

"Exterminate three clans? Han Yuanqiao's father's surname is Han, his mother's surname is Liu, his wife's surname is Qin, and our family's surname is Cheng, no, our family's surname is Wan. What does this have to do with us! Come on, let's go home and lie down. I drank a bit too much today!"

Shang Xi really felt she needed to rest now, otherwise her brain wouldn't work properly!

Just as the two were lying in bed taking an afternoon nap, Han Nianxia's voice rang out from the courtyard.

"Big Eyes, move aside! I'm looking for my cousin and his wife!"

Big Eyes stretched out her two thin arms to block Han Nianxia's way, "No, the Prince and Princess are taking a nap, we can't disturb them!"

"Big Eyes, move aside! My mom's coming soon."

Big Eyes wouldn't budge an inch, "No one can disturb the prince and princess's sleep, no matter who comes!"

Shang Xi wasn't sleepy, but she felt dizzy from drinking a little alcohol and her mind wasn't working properly. She nudged Cheng Feng, "Han Nianxia is in the yard!"

Cheng Feng tightened his grip on her arm. "I agree to let her stay at the mansion. Whether she can actually stay depends on her abilities."

"Aren't you going out to take a look?"

"What's so interesting about her? My aunt will be here to take her away soon!"

Before Cheng Feng could finish speaking, Madam Han's scolding voice rang out from inside the courtyard. Judging from the noise, it seemed that she had brought servants with her. Han Nianxia shouted desperately for her cousin and cousin-in-law.

Shang Xi couldn't lie still any longer after those two cries. She pushed away Cheng Feng's arm that was around him and said, "I have to go out and see what's going on. Nianxia has never cried so badly before!"

When Shang Xi went out, Han Nianxia had already been grabbed by the arm by a servant. When she saw Shang Xi, Han Nianxia struggled to break free.
