Chapter 328 - Coldness Growing Thickening
Ji Feng and company handed over their pa.s.ses and strode into the heavily guarded courtyard under the watchful eyes of the guards at the entrance.
The moment he entered the door, he heard loud chattering sounds coming from inside.
Ji Shalei couldn't help but be shocked. ”Good boy, who is so bold as to dare to act so recklessly in this place?”
Ji Feng just smiled without saying a word. This voice sounded very familiar.
Just from that hearty laughter alone, he was certain that the person speaking was his grandfather's old subordinate, the Tang clan's old man.
Among the people Ji Feng knew, only the Tang Ancestor and the Iron Army's father, Old Master Tie, would dare to speak and loudly laugh in front of their grandfather.
”Yi?”
Ji Shalei suddenly made a noise and pointed to a red flag car by the door. ”Uncle arrived before us?”
Ji Feng glanced at the license plate of the black and red flag. It was indeed a car belonging to the Ministry. He could not help but laugh, ”It must be because we took a long detour, so we came late.”
He acutely noticed that his mother, Xiao Sumei, seemed to have let out a small sigh of relief after discovering his father's car.
Ji Feng frowned. It was obvious that her mother's life here wasn't going to be easy. With her father here, she felt more confident. If her father didn't come, her mother would always be a little worried!
This was definitely not a good sign!
Ji Feng coldly snorted in his heart. He could imagine how arrogant and despotic the people from the other branches were. Even his mother had to be very careful. Even with Third Aunt accompanying him, she still couldn't completely relax!
Ji Feng was well aware of his mother's unyielding nature. The reason why she was so patient was all because of her father. She was afraid that if she acted rashly, it might affect her father, but … What right did she have to be patient?!
”Mom, let's go in!” ”Dad might be waiting for us inside!”
Xiao Sumei nodded slightly and said, ”Let's go!”
Ji Feng intentionally lagged behind by a few steps. He wanted to use this opportunity to see exactly who was being disrespectful to his mother! As long as the other party revealed that kind of expression, Ji Feng would firmly commit the other party to his heart and vent his anger on behalf of his mother.
Ji Feng was extremely angry at his mother's current life.
Even in the past when she sold vegetables and made a living in Mang s.h.i.+ County, her mother had lived a comfortable life. At the very least, she didn't have to look at others' faces and didn't have to worry about being bullied at all times.
Even if the Town Security came to chase them away, the most they could do was to pay a fine.
Strictly speaking, her mother was the main mother of the Ji family.
As a matriarch, she lived a uncomfortable life every day. What was the meaning of this matriarch's actions?
Which family's matriarch would have such a status?
”Today, I will let all of you know how to respect your mistress!” Ji Feng's expression was calm without any ripples, but his eyes constantly flashed with a cold light. The corners of his mouth curled into an almost imperceptible sneer as he calmly followed behind his mother.
His tall and burly body was like a mountain. It was his mother's strongest s.h.i.+eld!
Ji Shaorei, who was standing at the side, unconsciously glanced at Ji Feng. When he saw the cold glint in Ji Feng's eyes, he was immediately startled. He couldn't help but start praying for those who belonged to the side branch.
”Those fellows better be more tactful today. Otherwise …” Ji Shalei couldn't help but laugh in his heart, ”San'er is not a good person, even a crazy woman like Qiao Rong fell head over heels in my hands, let alone you guys who haven't experienced any hards.h.i.+ps and don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!”
The old man's courtyard wasn't small, there were a total of three courtyards in front and behind. The front courtyard was where the guards and nursing staff lived, and it was also the only way to get to the inner courtyard.
The other courtyard was filled with guest rooms. Normally, if someone came to visit or the family members came to visit, they would all be arranged to stay here.
The last courtyard was where the old tutor lived.
Each courtyard, from the main house to the ear room, had about a dozen rooms. Thus, the entire courtyard took up an extremely large amount of s.p.a.ce.
This kind of arrangement was no different from those seniors who were of similar status to the old tutor. This was something the authorities had set up specifically to take care of these seniors.
When he entered the first courtyard, only a few guards were on duty while the rest of the staff were busy cooking. Obviously, they knew that there would be a lot of people coming to eat tonight, so they began to busy themselves in advance.
Upon seeing Ji Feng and the others, a guard immediately ran over and saluted. ”Madam, the leader is currently waiting for you in the inner courtyard!”
Xiao Sumei smiled gently and said, ”I got it, thank you.”
Swis.h.!.+
The guard saluted again, then turned and ran back to his post.
