BXBX NOVEL Chapter 104 - 96: Why is the Younger Aunt Persisting in Not Leaving?_2
These are the unspoken courtesy rules within the Profound Martial Prominent Families.
Just like Chen Fangjie, Wang Shouzhe’s future brother-in-law, it is estimated he would get booted by Wang Shouzhe after a couple of visits to the Wang family’s Main Residence.
So even if Chen Fangjie came to help Wang Shouzhe with affairs, he wouldn’t step into the Wang family’s Main Residence, to avoid being seen as some wavering prodigal by the members of the Wang family.
“Alright then, there won’t be so many concerns after brother Shouzhe and sister get married.” Liu Ruolei said with a disappointed face, “Brother Shouzhe, reserve that courtyard where I’ve been staying recently for me, and don’t let anyone else live there.”
Wang Shouzhe broke into cold sweat.
This little girl, is she really planning on staying at Wang’s for a long time? He could hardly reject her request though, so he said, “Alright, I’ll arrange for it later.”
Off to the side, Liu Yuanrui was on the verge of tears.
Why is it that our Liu Family’s legitimate daughter seems to be going through a buy one, get one free sort of rhythm?
Almost at the same time, inside a secluded manor.
The elders and high-ranking members of the Liu and Zhao Clan gathered here. The two old ancestors were sitting in the main seats, each with a very serious look.
The trip to the Wang family caused an uproar this time. They were initially full of confidence but unexpectedly ended up battered, bruised, and soot faced. Most importantly, the reputation of both Liu and Zhao Clan had been tarnished by Wang Shouzhe, losing people’s hearts and becoming the laughingstock.
“Brother Zhide.” The old ancestor of the Zhao Clan, Zhao Bojun, said solemnly, “With that Wang boy’s tactics, he will surely strike us next. At this critical juncture of life and death, our two clans must abandon suspicion and work together to overcome the difficulties.”
“Yes, the kid is indeed very aggressive.” Liu Zhide replied gravely, “But he underestimated the foundations of our two clans. Brother Bojun, I suspect that your Zhao Daoyuan is close to advancing to the Spiritual Platform Realm, isn’t he?”
Zhao Bojun’s face stiffened, then he laughed heartily, “I knew it, I couldn’t hide this from Brother Zhide. But Liu Shenghao from your family is also close, isn’t he?”
Zhao Daoyuan and Liu Shenghao, both are talented clan members who are on the path to Spiritual Platform.
Not all clans always focus on cultivating the clan leader at all times. Sometimes, when they consider long-term interests, they prefer some talented direct line descendants.
Just like the Wang family, they once vigorously cultivated Wang Xiaohan.
“Alright, let’s just talk straight and clear.” Liu Zhde said, “We, our two clans, spare no expense to purchase those auxiliary materials, allowing Daoyuan and Shenghao to make an Impact on the Spirit Platform Stage. As long as we have one more elder at the Spiritual Platform Realm, even if there are Gongsun Meng and Wang Longyan to protect, we have the confidence to kill Wang Shouzhe forcibly. When that time comes, the Wang family will be like a pack of dogs without a master, what do we have to fear? Isn’t it easy for us to manipulate?”
After this time, their number one dreaded target had shifted to Wang Shouzhe.
“But before that, we need to sign a 100-year co-development contract to avoid suspicion.”
“It should be so, we two clans jointly control Ping’an Town. Come on, let’s make it a bit faster, strive to sprint within one month.”
After the pact.
Both the Liu and Zhao Clan seem to have disappeared without uttering a single word, laying low with no actions, while Wang family is making its presence felt, continuously expanding the project scale of Zhuwei Lake. Between the three clans, it seems a brief peace has arrived.
However, a dangerous undertone is brewing beneath it.
One day.
Not far from Pudukou.
There is a small-scale manor with a tasteful environment named “Summer Garden.” It has a large pond filled with lotus flowers and hence the name.
Now it’s the season of lotus bloom. In a pond of about 200 mu, everywhere is the view of blooming lotus flowers.
A winding path leads to the middle of pond. The raised house made of round wood and bamboo structure – “Lotus Pavilion.”
In such a lovely scene.
Living in the Lotus Pavilion, being caressed by the night breeze, bathed in the moonlight, admiring the enchanting lotus flowers, surrounded by the incessant croaking of frogs in ears, this could be a paradise.
It’s a pity, Lotus Pavilion is only suitable for living during this season of the year.
This courtyard, built with much effort and money of the Liu family, was originally to please a lady of the Celestial Lei Family.
However, at present, it is owned by the “Goddess” Zhong Luoxian.
Tonight, the moon is bright, and the wind is soft.
Two noble sons dressed in cloud-patterned brocade were sitting cross-legged on the second floor of the Lotus Pavilion, drinking top-grade Spiritual Tea – “Red Maid,” while casually chatting about some anecdotes.
A beautiful and ethereal woman is serving the two nobles, and her eyes occasionally fell on the younger and handsome son among them.
“Is Brother Chen bored lately?” The young noble dressed in brocade is the present Wang Family Head, Wang Shouzhe. He sounded a bit impatient, “Don’t come to Ping’an without anything to do. It has a bad influence.”
Wang Shouzhe was also a bit fed up; he had just sent away his little aunt who wouldn’t leave. Before he could enjoy two quiet days, his soon-to-be brother- in-law was here to disturb again. His days were not peaceful at all.
“Not exactly free.” The other person is naturally Chen Fangjie, the Young Clan Leader of the Chen Clan of Donggang. He shamelessly smiled and said, “I was part of the big play that you have been plotting for a long time. I played a small villain. If I don’t come to see the closing act, I always feel a bit regretful.”
“I heard that you acted brilliantly in the Wang family’s Main Residence, causing the Liu and Zhao Clans to fall apart and flee in a sorry state,” Chen Fangjie said, “I already missed the first big event. I don’t want to miss the second one. I don’t understand why you don’t want me to be part of the last act. Don’t worry, I am here to watch the commotion, and I don’t want any benefits.”
Wang Shouzhe was speechless. His soon-to-be brother-in-law insisted on forcing himself into the matter. It was not good to drive him away, right? Alright then, if you like the feeling of “envy, jealousy, and hatred,” I’ll make you have it.
The attendant on the side, Wang Mei, no, “Zhong Luoxian,” gently covered her mouth with her hand and laughed softly, sounding tender and enchanting, “Master, would you like to have a foreplay to enhance your mood before the main event begins?”
Foreplay?
“Cough cough~ ” Wang Shouzhe, who was drinking tea, almost choked to death.
“Zhong Luoxian” and Chen Fangjie both stared at Wang Shouzhe with unusual eyes. It’s just a foreplay, why this reaction?
“Cough cough~ ” Wang Shouzhe coughed even harder, well, he also admits that his thoughts are far “advanced” than these people. From this perspective, brother-in-law and Wang Mei are still pretty innocent.
Suppressing the odd emotions, Wang Shouzhe asked solemnly, “Wang Mei, what kind of foreplay have you prepared?”
“Master, please call me Luoxian.” She pretended to be angry and cute, then playfully glanced at Wang Shouzhe. She then pulled out a jade flute, “During this time, I learned how to play the flute out of boredom. The night is long and clear, and drinking is boring, so let me play the flute with you to enhance your mood.”
