Night Visit to the Phoenix Family.

The entire Feng family was in a panic, and Lin Xiyue hurriedly changed her clothes and makeup before rushing downstairs. She also instructed her personal assistant, "Call the young master and tell him to come back immediately."

The elders of the Feng family, who lived near the Feng mansion, all dressed up and rushed in within twenty minutes.

Feng Grandmá learned the ins and outs of the matter from He Rui's mouth and knew that Shen Yuan was present at the time. When He Rui cried and ran back home, Shen Yuan immediately followed. Feng Grandma couldn't help but think more about the deeper meaning behind this.

Shen Yuan had lived in the Feng family for a long time, and everyone in the family knew his dietary habits. Feng Grandma immediately had the chef make seafood porridge and instructed He Rui to quickly dress up.

"Grandma, do you think Shen Yuan likes me?" He Rui was half-believing, but this tiny bit of doubt still brought her immense vanity.

"Eight or nine out of ten. If you didn't cry and run back home, why would he visit late at night?" Feng Grandma said with her mouth, but her heart was a little sour. Although He Rui was her own granddaughter, she was still surnamed He, and the one who would benefit from marrying Shen Yuan in the future would still be the He family.

"Xiaoyuan, you must not have had supper yet, right? Try this seafood porridge. It's made with black abalone, fish, and top-grade Japanese mushrooms, which are your favorite flavors." Shen Yuan sat in the middle of an Italian handmade leather sofa, elegantly holding a bowl of seafood porridge. The other members of the Feng family sat around him, each holding a bowl of porridge and drinking with their own thoughts.

"Why haven't we seen Feng Gui and his little bride?" Feng Gui disappeared five years ago, and the Feng family thought they had kept it a secret from their distinguished guest, Shen Yuan. When Shen Yuan mentioned this name, the Feng family members all looked at Feng Grandma unconsciously.

Feng Grandma looked at Shen Yuan with a loving expression and said with a smile, "This couple has other things to do and is not at home."

Shen Yuan smiled lightly and showed a knowing expression, "He Rui told me everything that happened in the family five years ago."

Feng Grandma immediately showed a regretful expression, "It turns out that this little girl Rui Rui is too talkative! Ah, it's unfortunate that such a thing happened in our family. She was pregnant with someone else's child, and we could only sink her into the lake."

"Did you really sink her into the lake? Did she really die?" Shen Yuan still couldn't let it go.

Feng Grandma was a little curious, "Xiaoyuan, do you really care about her?"

Shen Yuan looked at Madam Feng with suspicion and asked, "As the witness of their wedding, shouldn't I ask about the follow-up situation of the bride and groom?" Madam Feng felt embarrassed as she had completely forgotten about this matter. She had invited Shen Yuan to her home when he returned to his hometown to pay respects to his ancestors. The reason was that her grandson was getting married and she wanted an outstanding peer to be the witness. Shen Yuan, as the witness of the Feng family's wedding, was indeed qualified to ask about the current situation of the Feng couple.

"Of course, you should have asked," Madam Feng replied awkwardly. "It's just that this matter is embarrassing and no one outside knows about it. It made me so angry that I fell ill for a while."

Lin Xiyue, who had been silent all along, finally found an opportunity

to speak up. She quickly comforted Madam Feng, "Don't be angry, Madam. That woman is not worth it. Our family has been so kind to her, but she still cheated on us with the servants. Such things are not worth our sadness. It's a pity for my second brother, who was already in poor health and now he can't even see people. Let's not mention this unpleasant thing and talk about something happy!"

Lin Xiyue, who was the initiator of the incident back then,

instinctively sensed a dangerous

atmosphere when the old matter was brought up again. She took the opportunity to remind Madam Feng not to let Shen Yuan know about Feng Gui's disappearance.

But unexpectedly, she only added fuel to the fire and made Shen Yuan suspicious. He raised his eyebrows and rebuked, "Who are you to point fingers and tell me what to do?"

Lin Xiyue blushed and stood up, taking a few steps back in fear. She seemed very aggrieved and wanted to explain but didn't dare to. She could only look at Madam Feng with teary eyes.

"Shen Yuan is right. You are too rude," Madam Feng scolded Lin Xiyue while looking at Shen Yuan's expression. Seeing that he was displeased, she continued to scold, "You always like to interrupt. I don't bother with you usually. But today is a special day, and the guest who came to our house is not someone you can speak ill of."

Lin Xiyue had been groomed as the future mistress of the Feng family for many years, and everyone from top to bottom respected her. She was used to being high and mighty, but she didn't expect to be publicly

rebuked by Shen Yuan. She

lowered her head and wished she could disappear into the ground. She felt ashamed as everyone's eyes were focused on her.

"Grandma, please don't scold Sister Xiyue anymore. After all, she is the future mistress of our family!" He Rui saw the signal from Madam Feng and quickly stepped forward to persuade her.

Madam Feng snorted and acted like the head of the family, "It's precisely because she is the future mistress of the Feng family that I have many expectations of her." After saying that, she smiled and introduced, "Shen Yuan, this is Feng Gui's fiancée."

"Oh?" Shen Yuan lazily nodded and said provocatively, "The woman who has been engaged for five years but hasn't entered the door yet."

This was the second time he had publicly rebuked someone. As expected, big shots liked to poke at people's sore spots. Shen Yuan deliberately made things difficult for Lin Xiyue, wanting to see if she was the real breakthrough point.

As Lin Xiyue felt the constant gaze of Shen Yuan on her, she couldn't help but feel her hair stand on end, and her feet involuntarily moved backwards. Her helpless and weak derneanor seemed too petty in the eyes of a woman like Madam Feng, who came from a prestigious family

.

Lin Xiyue's eyes turned red, and with a sniffle, she said with a face full of grievances, "I don't know where I offended Mr. Shen Yuan, to make you hate me so much. If it's because of what I said earlier, then I apologize to you."

Shen Yuan was tired of this low-level trickery. He looked at Lin Xiyue with disgust, as if he had seen something unclean, and said to Madam Feng, "With this kind of behavior, she really doesn't seem like a daughter-in-law from your prestigious family."

After saying this, Shen Yuan turned and left.

Everyone was stunned, wondering what Shen Yuan had come to the Feng family for.

Madam Ferg's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and she felt a growing unease in her heart. Shen Yuan was a person with aceep and unfathomable background. Did he know something?

Could it be that Shen Yuan was also involved in the mysterious disappearance of Feng Gui years

ago?
