Chapter 278 – Drastic Measure (2)
Even though Feng Qian Shao wanted to help his younger brother, he was not in the position to do so. He knew very well that Feng Qian Bo was an easy going person and easily influenced by other people.
The only time in his life when he was acting so stubborn was when he first met with Lin Qiang and asked their father for her to be his wife. At that time, their father didn't agree and even wanted to kick Feng Qian Bo out of the family. If not for some persuasion from the other brothers, Feng Qian Bo might have been kicked out for real.
He ended up relenting and only made Lin Qiang as his concubine. Even though the status of Lin Qiang in reality would not lose against the main wife, no one tried to nitpick him.
At the very least, he still acted in the proper conduct outside.
Even though his wife couldn't be said to be happy, she still accepted this arrangement. The Feng Family was also powerful, making her unable to say anything.
Now that this happened.
Things were changing within Feng Qian Bo's residence.
Without his favor, Lin Qiang wouldn't be able to live well in Feng Family Residence. And for someone as proud as her, Feng Qian Shao was worried that things wouldn't end well.
Feng Qian Bo sighed. "I'll talk to her."
"Do you think you can still treat her the same way as you did in the past?"
Same way?
It was not possible.
Feng Qian Bo let out a dry laugh. He stood up and looked into the sky as memories of his time with Lin Qiang flashed by his eyes. Even though he wished that she was nothing more than an ordinary village girl whom he ended falling for, it was still a fact that Lin Qiang was actually from a noble family in Zhang Xu Kingdom.
He sighed.
"I'm a fool."
That was all Feng Qian Bo could say.
Feng Qian Shao watched his younger brother and couldn't find any words to express what he wanted to say right now. He could only sigh.
"I'll stop father from coming here, so you better come into a decision soon. I can stop him for a short period of time but I can't hold him back forever." Feng Qian Shao patted his younger brother's shoulder.
Their father, Old Master Feng, was a very controlling person. He didn't like things that didn't happen in accordance to what he wanted. And if he heard wind of this, it was clear that he would surely come to berate Feng Qian Bo again.
There was no need for Feng Qian Bo to be stressed out because of their father when he had a lot of things in his mind. At the very least, Feng Qian Shao was not that cold hearted to the point that he wanted his younger brother to be destroyed.
"Aren't you still thinking that Lin Qiang is not a good person because of your wife's incident?" Feng Qian Bo asked.
Feng Qian Shao was speechless. "It's not determined that she's the one who did it, right? Besides, Lin Qiang was the one who sick back then, so she might not have the time to do it and it was her servants who did it on their own accord."
Aside from investigating about this, Feng Qian Shao has been investigating his wife's poisoning incident too. However, all the clues he had gathered so far ended in dead end. He couldn't find anything that could possibly explain who was responsible or who was the one who actually poisoned his wife.
After all, the poison was accumulated overtime.
It was not just one time but rather because of the long time exposure of the flowers. As for who actually put them in such place, Feng Qian Shao still didn't find any lead.
"If it's her, would you admonish me too?" Feng Qian Bo asked softly.
Feng Qian Shao didn't answer.
Just like how Feng Qian Bo would not accept the fact that his wife was someone who would sacrifice others, Feng Qian Shao would not accept others harming his wife. It was a different context, but they didn't really want anything to happen to their wife.
If someone told Feng Qian Shao that his wife betrayed him, his first reaction would be disbelief.
Feng Qian Bo was the same.
They didn't believe that the woman whom they cared for such a long time would possibly do something like that.
Of course, if the one in question was Feng Qian Kun, they wouldn't be surprised. There were a lot of concubines in Feng Qian Kun's residence that they didn't even remember the names anymore. Their third brother changed women as fast as changing clothes and would not have close relation to either one of them.
Well, except if they gave him sons.
"We'll know later."
Drap! Drap! Drap!
"General Feng! Commander Feng! Bad news! Madam Lin escape with her two children!"
Feng Qian Bo's face turned dark. "Which way they go?"
"Commander Feng, it's this way."
Feng Qian Shao furrowed his eyebrows when he heard this and quickly asked his men to start their move to chase after Lin Qiang. He didn't believe that they wouldn't be able to chase after a delicate woman who was carrying her two children with her.
At the same time, he sent the news to Old Master Nan.
Bang!
"Grandfather, you have to take the horse!" Nan Luo reminded when he saw that his grandfather was about to rush out.
Feng Ao Kuai quickly instructed the servants to take care of the residence.
"You're right." Old Master Nan quickly rode on the horse under the gaze of his grandchildren. Even though neither one of them said anything, it was clear that they were saying, 'How did you even forget about it?'
"Hou Liang, seal Wind City."
"Yes, Master."
"It's said that Lin Qiang is heading towards the outskirt where there are barely any people around." Feng Ao Kuai was also taking a horse.. "There might be another path that lead outside the city from there."
