But her grandson, Feng Tianci, is absolutely a deadly character!
Putting aside whether he really wanted to silence Mei Jinfeng, once Feng Tianci learned of Feng Baobao's secret, who could be sure that this guy wouldn't have malicious intentions!
Even if he wasn't doing it for himself, Mei Jinfeng was already old.
What if Feng Tianci wanted to prevent his mother-in-law from living forever?!
For a moment, Zhang Chulan was extremely conflicted, wondering whether he should reveal this secret.
He then glanced back at Feng Baobao and found that she was still meditating and regulating her breathing, showing no signs of waking up.
Bao'er, wake up already!
You must have seen this painting. Is that really you in it?!
Or is it just a portrait that resembles a relative of yours?
Zhang Chulan cried out helplessly in his heart, while Mei Jinfeng, already suspicious, asked again:
"What? Is your relationship complicated enough that you don't even know how to explain it?"
Hearing Mei Jinfeng's urging, Zhang Chulan forced himself to calm down, his mind racing.
Judging from their actions just now, it's 100% certain that the painting must depict Bao'er's background.
Is the woman Bao'er herself, or her mother?
Judging from Mei Jinfeng's reaction, the latter seems more likely!
How did Sister Ke Bao answer?
Did she directly admit that she was her mother, or did she cleverly say that she was her grandmother?
Zhang Chulan's mind raced, but he found that the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.
But Mei Jinfeng's face gradually darkened as she received no response.
Upon seeing this change, Zhang Chulan was anxious and wanted to wait for Feng Baobao to wake up and confirm before giving a reply.
But given the current situation, he knew he couldn't delay any longer, so he steeled himself and said:
“Mother-in-law, due to certain reasons, it can be said that my fate and Bao’er’s fate are now intertwined.”
"Although we haven't been together for long, we have no secrets from each other."
"And what I'm about to say, please don't tell anyone, including your grandson Feng Tianci!"
"If you promise me, I will tell you everything about Bao'er!"
Upon hearing this, Mei Jinfeng frowned slightly, already vaguely guessing why Zhang Chulan was so serious.
However, since he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he naturally wouldn't say it voluntarily, but simply nodded slightly and said:
"can."
Upon hearing Mei Jinfeng's agreement, Zhang Chulan took a deep breath and succinctly recounted his story with Feng Baobao.
Among them is the secret to Feng Baobao's immortality!
"That's how it is. If we're just talking about age, Sister Bao'er is probably only a few years younger than you."
"Although it's hard to believe, it's the truth!"
After listening to Zhang Chulan's account, Mei Jinfeng's expression gradually relaxed.
"So, you're only with Feng Baobao because of your grandfather, Zhang Huaiyi?"
“That’s right.” Zhang Chulan readily admitted, “Although I don’t know what Grandpa meant, I believe he must have his reasons for doing this.”
"So everything I'm doing now is helping Bao'er find her family."
"The purpose of getting close to Brother Feng is also for this."
"Or to be more precise, I wanted to contact you through Brother Feng to learn about everything that happened during the Jia Shen Rebellion back then."
Upon hearing this, Mei Jinfeng nodded thoughtfully, having already come to trust Zhang Chulan's words.
Then she couldn't help but glance at Feng Baobao again, and her heart inexplicably ached.
"Why...why has the sect leader never told me about this?"
Mei Jinfeng stared at Feng Baobao, her eyes filled with tears.
Seeing that she was about to descend into madness again, Zhang Chulan hurriedly asked:
"Grandma, what exactly is depicted in that oil painting? Why did it turn you into this?"
A question brought Mei Jinfeng back to reality.
After glancing at Zhang Chulan, he slowly took the oil painting out from behind him, raised his hand to hand it over, and said:
"See for yourself."
Upon seeing the oil painting handed to him, Zhang Chulan eagerly took it and looked down at it.
The painting depicts an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl with pigtails, wearing a red jacket, and sporting an innocent and pure smile.
That face... who else could it be but Feng Baobao?!
"Baby, Sister Bao'er!"
Zhang Chulan held the oil painting, a look of disbelief on his face.
Mei Jinfeng nodded slightly and said slowly, "That's right, it's her, Feng Baobao!"
After saying that, she looked at Feng Baobao with a complicated expression and said:
"I didn't show it to you earlier because I also realized that once this painting is exposed, it will inevitably bring her countless troubles."
"No matter who she is, the fact that she appears in the sect leader's collection proves that she must be very important to him."
"I don't want to cause any trouble for the people important to him because of our relationship."
Even if this is something I can't accept...
In the end, Mei Jinfeng raised her hand and tightly covered her mouth, trying hard not to cry out loud.
But tears were already streaming down her face, uncontrollably falling from her eyes.
Seeing Mei Jinfeng so heartbroken, Zhang Chulan seemed somewhat at a loss and quickly offered some words of comfort:
“Mother-in-law, a portrait alone proves nothing.”
"Maybe Sister Bao'er is just another relative of Senior Wu?"
"In my opinion, you don't need to be so sad. Let's find someone who knew about it back then and ask them. Maybe we'll get a pleasant surprise?"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 275. Zhang Chulan sacrifices himself for righteousness, and everyone shouts to condemn Quanxing!
275.
Zhang Chulan's words of encouragement gave Mei Jinfeng a glimmer of hope, and she gradually calmed down.
Looking at Feng Baobao, who was still meditating and regulating her breathing, he murmured softly:
"Those who knew about it back then..."
Seeing her thoughtful expression, Zhang Chulan stood quietly in place, feeling a surge of joy in his heart.
This trip to Tongtian Valley was a great success, as we learned that Feng Baobao was related to Wugensheng.
However, the specific nature of their relationship still needs further verification.
But for this kind of thing, you can only ask someone who is very familiar with Wugensheng.
The most promising group is naturally the thirty-six sworn brothers from back then!
The problem is that these people are now either deceased or missing, and even the company cannot find any trace of them.
Finding a living, breathing member of the Thirty-Six Thieves is no easy task.
Fortunately, Mei Jinfeng is here.
More than herself, she probably wanted to know the relationship between Mei Jinfeng and Wugensheng.
They knew more about the Thirty-Six Thieves than I did.
In this way, as long as I follow her around, I'm sure I'll get something out of her!
However, just as he was making plans in his mind, Mei Jinfeng said with a troubled expression:
"I really can't think of anyone else who might know about this."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan hurriedly said:
"Grandma, think about it carefully. For example, the thirty-five people who swore brotherhood with the Wuxian back then might know about this matter?"
Upon hearing this, Mei Jinfeng frowned and sighed:
"It's no use. Even if some of them are still alive, they've already hidden themselves. I can't find them at all."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan felt a great sense of disappointment, and a look of dismay appeared on his face.
But soon, as if remembering something, he asked again:
"Mother-in-law, please think about it again. Maybe someone else knows?"
Seeing his anxiety, Mei Jinfeng gave him a deep look, but didn't say anything more.
He simply fell silent again, and began to think seriously.
Zhang Chulan stood still, not daring to disturb them in the slightest, and could only wait anxiously.
After a full half-minute of waiting, Mei Jinfeng still sighed and said:
"I can't remember. I'll go ask Xia Liuqing later. Maybe he can know something."
However, upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan's face instantly showed hesitation.
In his view, the fewer people who know about this, the better.
If Mei Jinfeng really mentions it to Xia Liuqing, Feng Tianci will probably find out too.
In that case, I'm afraid I'll get another beating.
