The dozen stewards looked at Feng Ting’s appearance, all of them exchanging bewildered glances.
When had their second young master become like this?
In the past, the second young master rarely participated in family affairs and had always maintained a low profile in front of others, but what was happening today?
After all, they had never seen the second young master being so polite.
Seeing the confused expressions on everyone’s faces, Feng Ting smiled faintly, “Everyone, please be seated.”
The dozen or so stewards thought for a moment and then all sat down.
“Second Young Master, our Feng family is in grave danger and facing a life-or-death crisis. Does the Second Young Master have any good methods to resolve it?”
Looking at Feng Ting, a steward asked.
Their purpose for coming was to see what good methods Feng Ting had to resolve the Feng family's current crisis.
Upon hearing the steward’s words, Feng Ting’s smile grew even wider.
But there was no coldness in his expression.
“I believe everyone here knows the source of the Feng family’s current crisis, right? It’s nothing more than the Wang family and the Gu family. You all know their strength clearly, so to resolve this crisis, we need to make these two families back down.”
Feng Ting’s tone was calm, and his expression was exceptionally indifferent.
The dozen or so stewards frowned slightly. They were the core and pillars of the Feng family and were well aware of the family’s situation.
With their current strength, they were simply unable to handle this problem, which was what frustrated them.
At this moment, after hearing Feng Ting’s words, these dozen people nodded and simultaneously turned their heads to look at him.
“Does the Second Young Master have any good solutions?”
Feng Ting smiled again, his smile filled with pride.
“Have you all considered the fundamental reason why the Wang family and the Gu family are making a move against our Feng family?”
The Feng family had stood tall in Jiangnan City for a century without falling, naturally possessing its own foundation.
The Wang family and the Feng family were both located in Jiangnan City, and there wasn’t much animosity between them.
If not for special reasons, they would never have suppressed the Feng family so fiercely.
Moreover, if the Wang family were to truly go to war with the Feng family, it would benefit neither of them. Even if the Feng family were eventually destroyed, the Wang family would certainly suffer some damage. Why would the Wang family do something that was like killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of their own?
As for the Gu family, they had no prior ties to the Feng family, yet now they had also made a move against the Feng family, which was indeed surprising.
Seeing everyone’s gazes turn towards him, Feng Ting sighed.
“Alas, all of this is because of Feng Xiao. Because he offended Ye Fan in secret, the Feng family has suffered such a fate.”
Feng Ting spoke with a hint of helplessness.
This conclusion caused the stewards to frown deeply.
They knew a little about the enmity between Feng Xiao and Ye Fan.
Furthermore, Feng Xiao had personally ordered the Feng family to use all their strength to deal with Ye Fan.
But could one Ye Fan truly possess such great power? To be able to influence the Wang family or even the Gu family?
Knowing the doubts in their hearts, Feng Ting’s expression gradually became serious.
“To be frank with you all, I have had some interaction with Ye Fan and know how formidable this person is. He has an extremely close relationship with the Grand Elder of the Wang family. The Wang family would even betray the Heavenly King’s Mansion for him. What kind of relationship is this? Our Feng family is a member of the Heavenly King’s Mansion. You should all know how terrifying the Heavenly King’s Mansion is, yet the Wang family has done this. This clearly shows Ye Fan’s power.”
These stewards were naturally unaware of this secret, so upon hearing Feng Ting’s words, they were all shocked.
They would never have dreamed that the Wang family would be willing to betray the Heavenly King’s Mansion for Ye Fan.
“Second Young Master, where did you get this information?”
A steward asked in shock.
He truly found it unbelievable, as it was simply too preposterous.
But Feng Ting shook his head, “I know you might not believe it, but what I want to tell you is that this is the truth. You will know in the future. Let’s talk about the Gu family now.”
These pieces of information, he had naturally learned from Ye Fan.
Moreover, Ye Fan had told him this in person.
If he wanted to appease the Feng family members, without anything sufficiently awe-inspiring, they likely wouldn't believe him.
Therefore, Ye Fan had devised this plan.
The effect was indeed quite good; at least it had shocked these people for now.
Upon hearing Feng Ting’s words, the dozen or so stewards fell silent and quietly watched Feng Ting.
Seeing that they had fallen silent, Feng Ting nodded with satisfaction, then spoke in a deep voice.
“Perhaps you are all unaware, but Ye Fan is now the sixth honored guest of the Gu family. His status in the Gu family is comparable to that of the Patriarch. With such an identity, Feng Xiao insisted on confronting him head-on. This clearly shows a disregard for the family’s safety. How can such an idiot become the future Patriarch of the Feng family?”
Feng Ting’s tone grew heavier and heavier, eventually bordering on anger.
Upon hearing Feng Ting’s words, the stewards were all extremely shocked. They had never imagined that Ye Fan would possess such an identity.
All along, they had only thought that Ye Fan was outstanding in his appraisal skills and even had good relationships with many forces, but they never expected that even the Gu family would extend an olive branch to Ye Fan.
An honored guest of the Gu family held a more esteemed position than the Feng family patriarch. After all, the environments were different. A behemoth like the Gu family was by no means someone the Feng family could provoke.
At this moment, they understood why Feng Ting was so enraged.
If everything Feng Ting said was true, then Feng Xiao had indeed made the most foolish decision, which was tantamount to pushing the Feng family into an abyss.
Someone who plunges the family into a state of eternal damnation is not fit to be the head of the family.
“Alright, I have explained everything I needed to. Currently, if we want to save the family, the only way is to reconcile with Ye Fan. This way, the family crisis will naturally be resolved. Moreover, once we can reach a cooperation with Ye Fan, the benefits brought to the Feng family will be endless. Even the Gu family will engage in deep cooperation with our Feng family, and then, our Feng family can truly reappear in its former glory.”
This final statement by Feng Ting was the main point of gathering everyone.
As long as these people were willing to accept Ye Fan, everything would be easier.
The dozen or so stewards did not express their opinions but instead frowned in deep thought.
They were considering the credibility and even the feasibility of Feng Ting’s words.
If everything Feng Ting said was true, then cooperating with Ye Fan was undoubtedly the best choice at the moment.
Feng Ting did not disturb them. It was only after more than ten minutes that a steward slowly stood up, his attitude much more respectful than before.
“Second Young Master, this matter is of great importance. We are temporarily unable to give you an answer. We need to consider it carefully and ask for some time. Once we have deliberated and come to a stable decision, we will definitely give you a satisfactory reply.”
The current Feng Ting was no longer the sickly individual he was before.
If everything proceeded according to Feng Ting’s words, then within the entire Feng family, the only one who could establish a connection with Ye Fan was this Second Young Master present. Therefore, they dared not be negligent any longer.
