Royal Palace.

Outside the Yangxin Hall.

Hu Fei quickly caught up with Teng Demao who left angrily.

"Shang Shu Teng, wait a moment."

While greeting Hu Fei, he rushed in front of Teng Demao and stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Master Hu! You have the upper hand in today's matter, what else do you want?!"

Teng Demao stopped, stared at Hu Fei, and asked fiercely.

"I always convince people with reason, so why should Teng Shangshu do this? You and I are officials in the same dynasty, and we will inevitably interact with each other in the future. There is no need to act like enemies, right?"

Hu Fei smiled bitterly, looked at Teng Demao and said.

"Convince people with reason?! Since you are a reasonable person, why do you humiliate Quanzi like this?!"

Teng Demao stared at Hu Fei and asked dissatisfied.

"Of course, sometimes when the truth is really unreasonable, I can only use some extraordinary means. The young master made things difficult for me several times. Teng Shangshu should know this in his heart. If I really want to deal with him, his fate will be worse than

It’s much worse now.”

Hu Fei looked at Teng Demao and said seriously.

"Hmph, with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince protecting you, Teng certainly can't afford to offend you! From now on, it's just a matter of course!"

Teng Demao said with a cold expression on his face.

"What Teng Shangshu means is that His Highness the Crown Prince is unreasonable and only cares about his shortcomings?"

Hu Fei raised his eyebrows and asked lightly.

"Nonsense! Don't misinterpret my meaning! I can't afford to offend you, can I afford to hide?! Farewell!"

Teng Demao's face changed slightly and he hurriedly explained, then took two steps to the side and planned to leave.

"Master Teng! If you don't want the white-haired person to send the black-haired person, just listen to what I have to say!"

Hu Fei looked at Teng Demao who was anxious to leave and said in a deep voice.

Hearing these words, Teng Demao couldn't help but stop and turned to look at Hu Fei.

"Master Hu, what do you mean?!"

Hu Fei took two steps forward and came close to Teng Demao.

"Master Teng, I don't care if you ask the young master to commit suicide, but you go back and tell him that if he uses some despicable methods again, I will never show mercy again!"

"You go back and ask him if he has tampered with the account books of the Imperial Governor's Office? Don't think I don't know anything!"

"The Governor's Office has been secretly investigating who did it. If I tell Li Wenzhong his name, do you think Mr. Ling will still have a chance to survive?!"

Hu Fei stared at Teng Demao's angry eyes and said word by word.

After listening to Hu Fei's words, Teng Demao trembled all over, and a look of panic flashed across his face.

"Okay, I've finished what I said. As for what to do, it's up to you, Lord Teng. I'll take my leave."

Hu Fei curled his lips and smiled, waving his folding fan and walked out of the palace.

If it weren't for the fact that he thought Teng Demao was a good official, he would never be so polite to Teng Ziqian. If he wanted to kill Teng Ziqian, he could think of a hundred ways.

Teng Demao froze on the spot, the shock in his heart was beyond words, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.

If what Hu Fei said is true, his son will be guilty of a capital crime! Then the entire Teng family will suffer!

Thinking of this, Teng Demao did not dare to hesitate any longer and hurried back home.

...

Hu Mansion.

forecourt.

"Master, the young master is back!"

Butler Qin Hai ran quickly into the courtyard, waving his hands and shouting into the main hall, and occasionally looked back at Hu Fei, who was slowly walking in from the door.

After hearing Qin Hai's words, Hu Weiyong slowly walked out of the main hall. Looking at his son who had returned safely, a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"never mind?"

When Hu Fei came closer, Hu Weiyong asked with a smile.

"There would have been nothing wrong in the first place. If it weren't for my kindness, the Teng family would be the one in trouble now."

Hu Fei nodded and walked into the main hall as he spoke.

Hu Weiyong was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly followed in.

The father and son sat in the main hall, and Qin Hai hurriedly served them two cups of tea.

"What did you mean by what you just said?"

Hu Weiyong looked at Hu Fei and asked slowly.

"It's nothing. It's just that Teng Demao's idiot son did some stupid things to deal with me and almost cheated his father. But it's over and I don't plan to pursue it anymore."

Hu Fei took a sip of tea and said calmly.

"It's good. Although Teng Demao is a bit protective, he has done his duty to the court over the years, so there is no need to make things too difficult for him."

Hu Weiyong nodded and said slowly.

Since Hu Fei didn't explain clearly what happened, he didn't intend to ask any more questions.

"knew."

Hu Fei nodded and answered casually.

"This matter may not be big, but it's not small either. You'd better be more cautious in the future. Don't go too far in everything, or you may burn yourself by playing with fire."

"Although the prince is behind you to protect you, if you make a big mistake, even the prince may not be able to protect you."

Hu Weiyong looked at Hu Fei and said seriously.

He has received the news. Today at the Yangxin Hall, Prince Zhu Biao specially rushed to intercede for Hu Fei.

"knew."

"However, it is enough for one of you and me to keep a low profile. Since you have chosen to keep a low profile, you can only leave the troublemaking to me."

Hu Fei nodded, drank the tea in his cup, stood up and walked out.

"Don't go too far!"

Hu Weiyong looked at Hu Fei's leaving figure, shouted a warning, and shook his head helplessly.

He knew that his son was right, but as soon as he heard that his son was going out to cause trouble, he became frightened, for fear of causing some irreversible chaos.

...

Teng Mansion.

As the carriage stopped, Teng Demao hurriedly got off the carriage and rushed into the gate quickly.

The housekeeper heard the commotion and rushed out to greet him, but when he saw Teng Demao's gloomy face, he did not dare to say a word.

"Where is the young master?!"

Teng Demao glanced at the housekeeper and asked in a deep voice.

"Waiting for you in the main hall."

The butler answered hastily.

Teng Demao walked quickly towards the main hall without stopping.

Perhaps hearing the footsteps and voices, Teng Ziqian, who had been sitting in the main hall waiting for news, quickly walked to the door and saw his father at a glance.

"Dad, how's it going? What is Your Majesty going to do with Hu Fei?!"

Teng Ziqian looked at his father and asked expectantly.

"You all retreat, no one is allowed to come near without my permission!"

Teng Demao glanced at the housekeeper and said in a deep voice.

The housekeeper hurriedly agreed, stopped, and then called the surrounding servants and maids to stay away from the main hall.

"What's the matter?"

Teng Ziqian looked at his father in surprise, with a puzzled look on his face.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Teng Demao pulled him into the main hall, and then closed the door of the main hall.

"Tell me! What else have you done to Hu Fei that I don't know about?!"

Teng Demao stared at his son and asked sharply.

Looking at his angry father, Teng Ziqian looked confused.
