Chapter 2 Family Affair

the next day.

After practicing for a whole night, the spiritual power in his body made him feel very energetic.

When he opened his eyes, there were still light spots of spiritual power all around, and the number "9" in the lower left corner of his field of vision did not change at all.

This is the system that traveled through time with him. Unfortunately, it crashed when I asked a question and has not responded since.

As time passed, Ouyang stopped caring about it, since it didn't hinder his life anyway.

Ouyang got up and opened the door and saw a girl standing outside the courtyard door not far away. After their eyes met, the girl smiled.

"Hello, are you Mr. Ouyang?"

"I am."

After receiving a positive reply, the girl smiled even brighter. Her waist-length coral-colored hair swayed in the mountain breeze, revealing the antlers on both sides of her head. She stretched out her left hand and pressed it on her chest, and said energetically: "Hello,

My name is Yan Fei, and I am a lawyer. Mr. Ouyang, you are in big trouble."

The morning sun shines on the earth, the gentle mountain breeze blows away the mist in Qingce Village, and the clear morning dew reflects the crystal light, but it all seems a little eclipsed at this time, and the girl's bright smile makes Ouyang feel a little distracted.

Unfortunately, the news it brought was not good.

Yan Feidao in the living room began to explain: "The Gui family suffered a great disaster. The eldest son was attacked and killed by an abyss mage near the stone gate on his way to Mondstadt for business. The old family leader also passed away after receiving the news. Now only the remaining members of the entire family are

You have a side bloodline."

"Total annihilation? This is impossible!"

"The corpses brought back by Qianyan's army have proven everything."

"Hiss——, is there any investigation by the Qianyan Army?"

"This matter has caused a big fuss. The entire Liyue Port is basically aware of it. Seven Stars have also investigated it. It was just an accident."

Yan Fei looked at the frowning man opposite and continued: "As for me, according to Liyue's contract rules, taxes are required for inheritance. I think you need help in this regard, so I'm here.

.It’s not easy to deal with Tianquan Ningguang.”

Perhaps she said too much in one breath, so Yan Fei picked up the tea cup and took a sip to give the human young master in front of her time to digest the news.

Ouyang said no more, stood up and walked to the door, looked at the horizon and began to think.

Things happened so suddenly. He knew that Gui Jin wanted to revive the family. Ouyang knew about his ambition when they were in school together since childhood.

Memories came to mind one after another, everything was as clear as yesterday. It was difficult for the family to have heirs, and it was always a single generation. Gui Jin's parents also passed away in his early years. It can be said that all the hope of the family lies in Gui Jin.

On the body.

I received a letter from him half a month ago, saying that he wanted to open up trade relations with Mondstadt. I can completely imagine how high-spirited he was at that time. How could he...

So is this a conspiracy?

This cannot be conclusively concluded, but it requires investigation.

He doesn't have much affection for his family, but his years of upbringing and careful teaching are all gifts, and they are great favors that need to be repaid.

now...

I took a deep breath and opened my closed eyes. The fog in Qingce Village had completely dissipated. I could see people in the market town not far away along the path.

Turning to look at Yan Fei, he asked doubtfully: "Are you an immortal? How come you found me earlier than Qian Yanjun?"

"I am also from Liyue now, and I am a lawyer. This matter of yours can just make me famous."

"Miss Yan Fei, please tell the truth. And I know that Gui Jin got married last year. Didn't he leave any heirs? I can't have the right to inherit. And I don't want it either."

The girl stuck out her tongue, stood up and said awkwardly: "Xue Lian is indeed pregnant, but she is too sad now, maybe..."

Has the situation gotten so bad? Ouyang, who had no clue, was going to go to the town to ask Qian Yanjun if he had any news about Liyue Port.

"Thank you for traveling so far to tell me the news, but I don't think I need your help anymore. I need to go out now. You..."

"It's okay. Since you don't need help, I'll leave. Goodbye!"

Before Ouyang could finish speaking, Yan Fei said goodbye and left.

Watching Yan Fei's leaving figure, Ouyang had a lingering doubt in his heart. He remembered that Yan Fei was a fairy beast in the game and belonged to the lineage of immortals. How could he travel so far to deliver news to him and also help with the lawsuit?

This is not a game, the ability to teleport anywhere in minutes through an anchor point is an ability that only travelers have.

She probably didn't speak clearly.

There was no point in thinking too much, Ouyang closed the door and headed to the town.

Qingce Village is much larger than in the game. Although there is no large city, there are many villages and market towns. The market town where Ouyang is located has a stronghold of Qianyan Army, so you can get some information.

When he was still on the way, he saw a young man running towards him from a distance. It was Gui'an, one of the family's butlers.

Before he even got close, Gui'an knelt down and cried loudly.

"Sir, something big happened at home. The master and the young master are both gone. Before he left, the master asked me to come home and take charge of the situation!"

"Get up first and tell me what's going on."

After helping the man up, Ouyang took Gui'an back. On the way, Gui'an explained the whole story intermittently.

The legitimate son Guijin wanted to revitalize his family. In Liyue's business environment, if he wanted to become big, he could only engage in business. Two years ago, Guijin began to arrange for people to discuss the wine business with Legenfender of Mondstadt.

After these exchanges, Legenfund personally came to the family to inspect the family two months ago and concluded a cooperation contract.

Since it was the first transaction, Gui Jin paid more attention to it, so he decided to go there in person, using official methods, and with other businessmen.

result...

The goods were robbed and more than 200 people in the caravan were wiped out.

The impact of this incident was great, affecting several chambers of commerce.

Qixing has conducted a thorough investigation and concluded that it was an accident. However, it is difficult to find the murderer now. After all, the Abyss Mage will not stay in one place like in the game.

Now there is no backbone in the family. Gui Jin's wife has fainted and died several times. Now she only relies on Bubulu medicine to survive. She is also pregnant, and her current situation is extremely dangerous.

After listening to these heavy news, Ouyang thought for a while and said to Gui'an: "Why don't you go back now? This year's harvest is half a percent more than in previous years. I have people put it into the warehouse. You can use this half percent of the grain in exchange for the harvest."

Maura, go buy some meat and gifts to send to the tenants on the farm."

"Okay, sir, what about you?"

"There are so many things, and they have to be dealt with one by one. The family has suffered a big change, and if we want to survive, we can't have civil strife, so I ask you to appease them here first. I'll go to Liyue Port first."

When he came to the yard, Ouyang asked Gui'an to sit down and rest first, and continued: "You have a rest first, and then you send a letter to Jiang Cheng. He lives in the south of the town. You should know him. You can talk to him about many things."

Let’s discuss it and once it’s settled here, you can go back south.”

After saying that, he got up, came to the desk, and started writing a letter.

The main thing is to make some arrangements. Under the current situation, the family can no longer cause trouble.

It's true that he doesn't have deep feelings for his family, but since your family still has an heir, he should help as much as possible, which can be regarded as repaying the favor.

Otherwise, if you just walk away, your conscience will be uneasy.
