Quick Transmigration: The Pregnant Little Fairy is Pampered by the Heirless Boss

Chapter 257 The Mad Couple 21

Wu Chufeng explained the current situation of the Wu family.

Wu Daniu was going to take his whole family away from the current general's mansion. Because they had hoarded a lot of money, they were able to move to other large houses.

Wu Chufeng, being the Vice Minister of War, and having proactively gathered information during this incident, temporarily retained his official position, becoming the highest-ranking member of the Wu family.

The whole affair was both made and broken by Wu Daniu.

Did your father regret doing this?

Ji Xiaosong was just curious and had no intention of kicking someone when they were down.

"He doesn't regret it. If the country goes to war in the future, he will probably be invited back."

Wu Chufeng took the matter lightly, saying, "The reason His Majesty didn't take strong measures is because only Li Zhixiao had the exam questions. Xiao Mumu's threats to the officials were merely to obtain the foundation that would allow Li Zhixiao to pass the imperial examination."

"I guess Lee Ji-hyo won't survive. As for Xiao Mumu, it's only a matter of time before she dies."

Ji Xiaosong didn't think the emperor would let Xiao Mumu and the Wu family off the hook. Daring to threaten the question setter, they must be tired of living!

"You guessed right, His Majesty intends to target Lee Ji-hyo. But we can just pretend we don't know anything about it. Anyway, you're going to marry me in a month."

Wu Chufeng didn't have time to care about Li Zhixiao's affairs anymore. He had only exposed Li Zhixiao and Xiao Mumu's affair with the test questions because he felt it was a matter of conscience.

Now that all these things have been done and Ji Xiaosong's revenge has been achieved, it's time for him to enjoy his life.

"General Wu, have you gone to such lengths for Xiao Mumu and the others? Are you saddened?"

Thinking about Wu Chufeng's past, and then looking at his life and Wu Wanqing's life of being favored, Ji Xiaosong couldn't help but feel sad for him.

"I was sad before, but I think that with you by my side from now on, I won't be sad anymore."

Wu Chufeng looked at Ji Xiaosong. He always felt that as long as he was by Ji Xiaosong's side, he would feel at ease.

He couldn't explain where this sense of peace came from.

I just felt like... they were meant to be a perfect match.

Wu Chufeng felt much lighter after leaving Ji Xiaosong's place.

As he rode his horse, Ji Xiaosong's words still echoed in his mind, and a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.

However, when he returned to his residence, the smile on his face instantly froze.

In front of the mansion gate, Wu Daniu was standing there with a group of people, his expression gloomy. Behind him were Wang Cuihua and her two sons, as well as several servants.

When Wu Daniu saw Wu Chufeng return, he immediately stepped forward, his tone tinged with dissatisfaction: "Chufeng, why are you only coming back now? We've been waiting for you for ages!"

Wu Chufeng frowned, his tone indifferent: "Father, what brings you here?"

Wu Daniu snorted coldly, his tone carrying a hint of reproach:

"What? You are my eldest son, why can't you come here? Are you not even letting us into your own home?"

Wu Chufeng felt a surge of irritation, but he maintained a calm demeanor.

"Father, you've misunderstood. I just didn't expect you to come so suddenly."

Wang Cuihua stood aside, stepped forward, and said with a hint of grievance in her voice, "Chu Feng, we had no other choice. The General's Mansion has been returned to His Majesty, and we have nowhere else to go but to come to you."

Wu Chufeng glanced at her, his tone tinged with coldness:

“Aunt Wang, what you’re saying isn’t right. Doesn’t Father still have a few houses? How can you say he has nowhere to go?”

Wang Cuihua was speechless at Wu Chufeng's words, her expression changed slightly, but she quickly forced a smile:

“Chu Feng, your father is getting old, and those houses are all in remote areas, making it inconvenient for him to live there. Your place is closer to the capital, so we can stay here and take care of each other.”

Wu Chufeng sneered, his tone laced with sarcasm:

"Aunt Wang, what you're saying is quite interesting. Father is getting old, why don't you take him to one of those houses to recuperate properly? Why do you insist on squeezing in here with me?"

Wang Cuihua turned pale with anger at Wu Chufeng's words, but because Wu Daniu was present, she dared not retaliate and could only lower her head, her tone tinged with grievance:

"Chu Feng, those words are truly hurtful. We're family..."

Seeing this, Wu Daniu's face darkened further, and his tone carried a hint of anger:

"Chu Feng, how dare you speak to your Aunt Wang like that? She's your elder, after all!"

Seeing their reaction, Wu Chufeng knew that he had to bring them inside today.

As Wu Daniu's eldest son, he couldn't let himself be criticized for being too filial.

He had just moved into this mansion yesterday, but unexpectedly, Wu Daniu and his group came knocking on his door today.

Wu Chufeng took a deep breath, suppressing his agitation, and said in a cold tone:

"Since Father and Aunt Wang have both said so, let's come in first. However, there are some things I need to make clear first."

Seeing that Wu Chufeng had relented, Wu Daniu's expression softened slightly, and he nodded: "Okay, go ahead."

Wu Chufeng glanced coldly at Wang Cuihua and her two sons, his tone carrying a hint of warning:

"Father, you can move in, but you must abide by my rules. If anyone causes trouble here, don't blame me for being impolite."

Wang Cuihua's two sons, Wu Wenxuan and Wu Wenhao, immediately showed dissatisfaction upon hearing Wu Chufeng's words.

Wu Wenxuan is sixteen years old this year. He is tall and thin, with a hint of arrogance in his eyes.

He snorted coldly, his tone laced with sarcasm: "Big brother, you're really putting on airs! We're your own brothers, what kind of attitude is this?"

Wu Wenhao is thirteen years old this year. Although he is young, he has been spoiled by Wang Cuihua since he was a child and has an arrogant and domineering personality.

He curled his lip, his tone laced with disdain: "Exactly! Brother, don't think you're so great just because you're an official now! We're from the Wu family, we're only staying here out of respect for you!"

Wu Chufeng glanced at them coldly, his tone laced with sarcasm:

"The Wu family? When did you start treating me like one of the Wu family? Don't you remember how you treated me when I was a child?"

Wu Wenxuan and Wu Wenhao were speechless at Wu Chufeng's words, their expressions changed slightly, but they quickly regained their arrogant demeanor.

Wu Wenxuan sneered, "Brother, what you're saying is quite interesting. Who remembers things from childhood? Besides, aren't you doing just fine now? Why bring up old grievances?"

Wu Wenhao chimed in, "Exactly! Brother, you're the Vice Minister of War now, how can you still be so stingy?"

Wu Chufeng sneered, his tone tinged with coldness:

“Stingy? If you think I’m stingy, you’re free to stay here. My place is too small to accommodate big shots like you.”

Seeing the atmosphere getting increasingly tense, Wu Daniu quickly stepped in to smooth things over:

"Alright, alright, stop talking! Chu Feng, Wen Xuan and Wen Hao are young and don't know any better, don't take it to heart."

Wu Chufeng glanced coldly at Wu Daniu, his tone laced with sarcasm:

“Dad, are they too young? Wenxuan is sixteen and Wenhao is thirteen. Are they still young? If you think they are being disobedient, then teach them properly. This is not a place for them to run wild.”

Seeing Wu Chufeng's firm attitude, Wang Cuihua felt a surge of dissatisfaction, but she could only suppress her anger, her tone tinged with grievance:

"Chu Feng, Wenxuan and Wenhao are your younger brothers after all. Can't you be a little more tolerant?"

Wu Chufeng gave her a cold look, his tone laced with sarcasm:

"Aunt Wang, what you're saying is quite interesting. Don't you know why they treated me that way before?"

Wang Cuihua was speechless at Wu Chufeng's words, her expression changed slightly, but she quickly forced a smile:

"Chu Feng, that's all in the past. You've misunderstood me for so many years, and I won't hold it against you. Besides, you're now the Vice Minister of War, why bother arguing with children?"

Wu Chufeng sneered, his tone tinged with coldness:

“Past events? Aunt Wang, if you think the past can be wiped clean, you are sorely mistaken. I, Wu Chufeng, am not the kind of person who forgets the pain once the wound has healed.”

Seeing Wu Chufeng's resolute attitude, Wu Daniu felt a surge of irritation.

He knew that Wu Chufeng's resentment towards Wang Cuihua and her two sons could not be resolved in a day or two.

He sighed, his tone tinged with helplessness: "Alright, Chu Feng, I promise you. Wenxuan and Wenhao will behave, so please let them move in."
