Pei Qianying's departure made the entire Pei family full of joy.
Pei Jun slumped on the ground helplessly, his eyes becoming dull and dull.
Similarly dissatisfied, there are also high-level clan elders from various branches. Looking around, the old faces are covered with cold frost, which looks as ugly as frost hitting eggplants. After so many years,
They are always thinking about fighting for power and regaining control of the Hui family from Pei Qianying!
Because in their eyes, Pei Qianying was just a shield used by the family to resist pressure. Now that the pressure to grow the family has disappeared, it is natural that they should pull her down and let them take charge of all aspects of the family.
affairs.
But they forgot one thing. Today's Pei Qianying is no longer the ignorant girl she used to be, who can be oppressed and bullied by them at will.
Just when they were feeling complacent and thought they could regain control of the family, they never expected that Pei Qianying would be so ruthless, not even thinking about their old feelings, and just playing a trick with them to drain the fire.
While they were complaining and cursing Pei Qianying, all the aristocratic families who came to congratulate him, after sensing something was wrong in the atmosphere, left one by one with fists in their hands.
The mansion, which was originally lively and noisy, fell silent in an instant.
"This vicious woman! Does she intend to destroy the entire family by doing this?"
I don’t know how long it took, but I only know that the cicadas chirped three times before a clan elder raised his head and roared with angry eyes.
"Butler! Where is the butler? Where are you dead!" He shouted again, which made all the family members tremble with fear. After this voice fell, they saw a ball rolling over in the dead silent crowd, oh
No, it should have been the housekeeper of Pei Mansion who stumbled over.
"Check the account balance quickly!"
In less than half a quarter of an hour, the butler appeared again with a pale face, trembling lips, and under the eyes of fire-breathing murderous eyes, he gritted his teeth and stretched out a finger with a look of fear on his face.
"Ten thousand gold coins?" Pei Jun's face suddenly sank after he had calmed down.
"Hmph! The secret wealth of my Pei family is scattered all over Li City. From this alone, the annual profit is no less than 40,000 to 50,000 gold coins. How can it be possible that after so many years, there are only 10,000 gold coins left?"
Some grumpy clan elders murmured in dissatisfaction, blowing their beards and staring, obviously dissatisfied with this number.
"He is indeed a white-eyed wolf!"
Just when the top management of the Pei family was feeling angry and angry over the 10,000 gold coins, the housekeeper over there no longer knew what to do.
"No...not 10,000 gold coins." The butler reminded him with a numb scalp.
Whoosh whoosh! As soon as the butler opened his mouth, a series of sharp eyes were projected over him. Those eyes filled with evil energy were like sharp knives piercing into the butler's chest, scaring the butler till he turned white from head to toe.
"What did you say!"
Her breath suddenly suffocated. The huge Pei Mansion included all the major branches of the family, guards, maids, etc., which one did not need gold coins to maintain? She didn't even have ten thousand gold coins. She was planning to starve the entire family to death.
Are you willing to work on the street?
Bang!
Several figures slapped the table and stood up. Pei Jun quickly came to the housekeeper and lifted the housekeeper up with a grappler. He said with murderous intent: "Explain clearly to me once and for all, how much money is left in the family account books."
!”
"One... not a single gold coin left."
Bang! There was a loud bang in Pei Jun's heart, and all the strength in his body was drained out in an instant. He slowly let go of the butler's hand, and staggered back a few steps.
"Haha, hahahaha..." After a long time, the decadent Pei Jun suddenly laughed like crazy. His eyes were as red as blood, giving people a very violent feeling!
Losing the strength of Pei Jun's grasp, the housekeeper fell to the ground again, adding insult to injury: "The account books show that the family's current gold coins show a negative number, and we owe one hundred thousand."
"This is impossible!" At this moment, everyone was not calm. From the family elders to the guard maids, everyone was in a panic.
Pei Jun's swaying body retreated again, his whole body looking sluggish, his hair as black as ink, as if snow had fallen on it, and his eyes looked white.
He had been looking forward to this position for so many years, and today he thought he would finally get it, but what he got in the end was an empty shell with a lot of foreign debt!
"Pei Qianying!" Snap!
Frustration! Anger, unwillingness and other negative emotions rushed into his heart. For a moment, Pei Jun lost control. He went crazy and tore the account book in his hand into pieces. Then he looked down at the Patriarch's Order in his hand, and immediately went towards
He hit the hard thick floor tiles and roared: "This is not what I want!"
"Stop!" Seeing this, the clan leader's face was also livid and pale, and his heart twitched suddenly in anger. He was obviously frightened by Pei Jun's crazy behavior. You know, the head of the Pei family ordered
But what the ancestors passed down from generation to generation is said to be a ring, but in fact it is just an oval-shaped jade pendant!
This jade is an ancestral item that inherits family beliefs, and there is no room for error!
However, Pei Jun, who was so angry that he almost lost his mind, couldn't care less about whether it was an ancestor or not. At this time, he just wanted to vent the anger in his heart! He just wanted to throw the things in his hands.
He worked hard and even used his soul power. He wanted to smash the things in his hands to pieces. It seemed that only in this way could he relieve the hatred in his heart!
The jade pendant was shattered. Under the huge force, the moment the whole piece of jade fell to the ground, it was scattered in all directions and shattered into crystal powder.
A large part of it splashed out, and only a small amount was accumulated and embedded in the stone slab.
"It's over, it's all gone." If it's broken like this, can it still be restored? The answer is, of course, it's impossible.
"Bastard, do you know what you have done? If the gold coins are gone, you can earn them again, but if the family inheritance is gone, the family will be ruined!
Haven't you always boasted that you are unparalleled? Since what she, Pei Qianying, was able to do back then, why can't you do it? Throw the token, you are so brave! Come here, I will tie him up, and he will be taken care of by the family law! "
The Pei family was robbed, but over time, the family's influence in Li City plummeted. Without Pei Qianying, the Pei family's major secret industries also completely collapsed. Many of the businesses that had been booked long ago were also completely destroyed.
Everything has been ruined. For this reason, the Pei family has to pay a large amount of liquidated damages.
Pei Qianying was furious. She had put the Pei family in an even worse situation than before. Didn't they want to seize power and prove themselves? Very good, then give them a chance to prove themselves this time!
Pei Qianying spent a lot of money and bought a new house on the same street closest to the Zhong Mansion that day!
It is less than one-third of the journey from Zhongfu to the tea cup.
"What the hell is this woman doing?"
Not long after Luo Chen returned to Zhong Mansion, he learned the news that Pei Qianying had purchased the house, and his brows knitted together involuntarily.
"The decision to change the owner of the Pei family came from the City Lord's Mansion. She obviously wanted to separate and distance herself from the City Lord's Mansion. However, doing so would definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the City Lord's Mansion.
And if she wants to survive in Licheng, she must find a backer who can withstand the pressure of the city lord's palace. Obviously, she has set her sights on you again."
Hua Shang lazily flipped through a pile of confidential documents on the table, then selected one and handed it to Luo Chen.
"She is really a shameless woman." Luo Chen unfolded the secret document handed over by Hua Shang, glanced at it and let out a sigh.
"This is?"
"The news just came from the City Lord's Mansion."
"Did our people successfully break into the city lord's palace?" Luo Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was so excited that he grabbed Hua Shang's hand without holding back.
"Sister, are my hands easy to touch? Are they soft?"
Hua Shang Liu's eyebrows were lowered, one hand was pressed on the table, and she leaned forward to support her body. Her red lips were almost printed on Luo Chen's earlobe, and all the hot air hit Luo Chen's face.
"It's okay." Luo Chen subconsciously replied, and the handbag he was holding suddenly released and retracted. At the same time, his whole body was more like a compressed spring, and with a whoosh, he jumped back ten meters.
He was so far away that he distanced himself from Hua Shang in an instant. His movements were quick and he did it in one go!
Luo Chen's reaction made Hua Shang stunned, then she smiled like a flower, twisted her waist and walked towards Luo Chen, saying seductively: "Do you still want to touch it?"
Luo Chen's scalp was a little fried, and he secretly cursed himself for being cheap, while he stepped back and slapped him haha.
"You bastard, you brat, stop here. You are so brave. You even dare to eat my sister's tofu! See if I don't beat you to death."
Luo Chen's expression changed drastically, he turned around and ran away with his head in his hands. Hua Shang chased after him, causing everyone to shake their heads and cover their foreheads.
Xin Pei Mansion.
After being reinstalled, Pei Qianying didn't take much rest. She stood alone under a willow tree. After thinking for a long time, she finally decided to reorganize the disbanded shadow guards for future use.
She can no longer go to the City Lord's Mansion. She knows very well that since the City Lord's Mansion has asked someone to replace her, she no longer trusts herself. If she runs back now, she will undoubtedly fall into a trap!
And although this move did not blatantly violate the orders of the City Lord's Mansion, it also slapped the City Lord's Mansion hard to a certain extent. Perhaps the City Lord's Mansion had already received the news at this time?
"Miss, have you really made your decision? We have seen with our own eyes how terrifying the power of the City Lord's Mansion is. Although Luo Chen is also very strong, how can one person be stronger than Qiqian Hei, no matter how strong he is?
Can Army A fail? After all, he is not a Soul King Realm expert. Once the City Lord's Mansion becomes serious, it will be easy to destroy a small Zhong Mansion.
And even if we choose to join the Zhong Mansion, can you guarantee that Luo Chen will not refuse? After all, it was us first..."
"Do we have any other choice? No need to say any more, I have made up my mind!" Pei Qianying reached out to interrupt what Nian Xin was going to say next, and said: "Why not? Nian Xin, you have to remember that there are no eternal enemies in this world.
, as long as the bargaining chips and benefits are enough, even enemies can become confidants, not to mention, we haven’t reached that point yet.” (To be continued)
