Chapter 1757 - 1762: Tattling
"What do you have in your hand? It smells so good." Fenglin Hao Tian asked and then directly grabbed the guard, pulling him toward himself.
The guard stepped back, saying, "This is the City Lord’s meal, young master, what are you doing?"
"The City Lord’s meal? Where did it come from? Open it and let me see!" Fenglin Hao Tian said.
"No way, without the City Lord’s order, it absolutely cannot be opened."
"How dare you! I suspect you are an assassin sent to kill my father! You’d better open it and let me see, or don’t blame me for being rude!" Fenglin Hao Tian ordered the guard to open the cover on the dish, and instantly a fragrant aroma wafted out, making mouths water.
However, right at that moment, Fenglin Hao Tian suddenly slapped the dish, and the food scattered all over the ground. Fenglin Hao Tian furiously pointed at the guard, saying, "This dish obviously has a problem, who made it? Where is that person?"
The guard was immediately scared out of his wits, hurriedly kneeling to plead for mercy, saying, "Young master, spare me, this was sent by the old City Lord, I... I didn’t know there was a problem!"
Grandfather?
Fenglin Hao Tian snorted coldly, "Go and prepare a new one, the same as the City Lord usually eats, or I will kill you!"
"Yes, yes!" The guard left as if granted amnesty, while Fenglin Hao Tian waved his hand and walked directly toward Fenglin Xun.
Came to the old City Lord, who just finished eating, Lin Fei and the others tidied up and left, and Fenglin Hao Tian coincidentally arrived at this time.
Furthermore, when Fenglin Hao Tian arrived, he immediately spoke to Fenglin Xun, "Grandfather, you have to stand up for me!"
Fenglin Xun was stunned upon hearing Fenglin Hao Tian’s words. He had heard about Fenglin Hao Tian’s actions, and as his grandfather, he wondered if there really was anyone who dared to bully this fearless grandson of his.
"What happened, Hao Tian? Come over and tell me." Fenglin Xun said, inviting Fenglin Hao Tian to sit beside him.
Fenglin Hao Tian came to complain, wanting his grandfather to deal with Lin Fei, though he knew his grandfather might not agree, but at least he hoped to sow discord, preventing his grandfather from helping Lin Fei, otherwise, things would be unimaginable.
"Grandfather, I was bullied, it’s your cook!" Fenglin Hao Tian said with a face full of grievance.
"What happened?"
Fenglin Hao Tian fabricated the facts, but Fenglin Xun furrowed his brow, "I’ll now get Lin Fei to come and apologize to you!"
At this moment, Fenglin Hao Tian was truly shocked. The old man is indeed sharp, difficult to handle!
But Fenglin Hao Tian wasn’t without a way out; he immediately stopped the old City Lord’s idea, saying, "Grandfather! Please don’t!"
"Why? I want him to come and apologize to you, don’t you want that?" At this point, the old City Lord was increasingly skeptical of his grandson’s words, thinking Lin Fei was more pleasant than his grandson, at least not pretentious.
"Grandfather, that’s not what I mean, I’m saying please don’t let him come, I’m afraid of him. If he comes, he’ll definitely hit me!" Fenglin Hao Tian said, feeling caught in a predicament. If his grandfather really called Lin Fei over, what would he do?
"Hmph! I don’t believe Lin Fei dares to be impudent here! Someone! Call Lin Fei to come!" The old City Lord shouted, ordering someone to bring Lin Fei.
Instantly, Fenglin Hao Tian’s face turned the color of pig liver. He looked at the old City Lord and said, "Grandfather, I... I... I should... I should leave..." Then, he hurriedly fled outside.
But how could the old City Lord allow his grandson to ’suffer’? So he immediately ordered, "Stop! Come back!"
No matter what, Fenglin Hao Tian couldn’t disobey his grandfather’s order, so he returned, looking at his grandfather, he said, "Grandfather, I... I really can’t face him, he... he’ll kill me!"
"It’s okay, grandson. You can hide behind me, I’ll handle whatever happens, don’t worry." Fenglin Xun reassured him, then quietly awaited Lin Fei’s arrival.
At this moment, Lin Fei had just returned to the kitchen, washing dishes, when soldiers came over and asked Lin Fei to go over.
In the courtyard, Lin Yun’er was accompanying Chen Xiaowu practicing cooking. Upon hearing the news, she immediately asked, "What does my grandfather want with Lin Fei?"
The guard replied, "It seems like the young master came and said he was bullied, so the old City Lord is asking for an explanation."
"What! This is outrageous, that brother is truly terrible! Turning black into white and accusing falsely! I must go to my grandfather and make things clear, such shameless older brother!" Saying this, Lin Yun’er headed in the direction.
Lin Fei quickly followed, heading toward the room where Fenglin Xun was, seeing Fenglin Hao Tian with his head down.
When Fenglin Hao Tian saw his sister Lin Yun’er arrive, he was immediately distressed, knowing his sister’s temperament and realizing she would team up with Lin Fei to settle accounts, feeling as if it was the end!
"Lin Fei, come here." Fenglin Xun gestured to Lin Fei.
Lin Fei approached and asked, "Old City Lord, what can I do for you?"
"Nothing much, just need to confirm something, not sure if what my grandson said is true or false." The old City Lord said.
Upon hearing the old City Lord’s words, Lin Fei chuckled, looked at Fenglin Hao Tian, and said, "I wonder what the young master said, why not share it so I can decide."
Seeing Lin Fei’s dangerous gaze, Fenglin Hao Tian felt very threatened, extremely threatened, but he still summoned the courage to say, "You... you insulted me! And... and hit me!"
"Oh, you’re correct, that’s true!" Lin Fei didn’t make excuses but directly admitted the facts.
"Audacious! Lin Fei, how dare you do such a thing, what punishment do you deserve?!" The old City Lord said.
However, Lin Fei saw that the old City Lord’s demeanor wasn’t genuinely angry, just a bit stern. He knew what the old City Lord thought. Indeed, the elder’s insight was far superior, seeing through his little tricks instantly.
No wonder there’s a saying in the Lower Realm: "An elder at home is a treasure!"
