My Silly, Sweet Wife

Qin Hanzhong lowered his head, only clenching his fists and trembling, unable to say a single word.

After a long while, Luo Qianqi spoke: ”Ye Guichen, I know you are very powerful, even capable of summoning a Corpse Chaser. You have indeed impressed me. But I advise you to forget about this matter.”

”Oh?” Ye Guichen squinted his eyes, looking towards Luo Qianqi: ”Miss Luo, don’t forget the promise you made to me at the tomb. If I control your Luo Family, my decisions could very well influence the thoughts of the Luo Family members, no?”

”You...” Upon hearing Ye Guichen mention the situation in the tomb, Luo Qianqi immediately tensed up.

She originally came this time to resolve this matter.

Previously reminded by her grandfather, Luo Qianqi thought of a method that could satisfy both sides — marrying Ye Guichen into the Luo Family as a son-in-law.

But seeing Ye Guichen having Mi Lan kill Luo Baicheng, that plan seemed impossible to realize.

However, if Ye Guichen insisted on taking the 51% shares that were promised back then, Luo Qianqi had no idea how to respond.

After pondering for a while, Luo Qianqi could only speak the truth: ”You should also know, although I have a certain status and say in the Luo Family, the final decision-making power still lies with my grandfather. Unless you use force to completely subdue all of us in the Luo Family, it would be very difficult to fulfill that promise.”

”Hehe, are you trying to renege on your promise?” Ye Guichen chuckled lightly, nonchalantly saying, ”Relax, I will go to Mr. Luo to claim what is mine.”

Then, he continued: ”I have gathered you all here not for anything else. I initially didn’t want to bother too much with Mi Lan’s matter, but I did not expect the Leng Family to do such a heinous act. So, I just want to hear everyone’s views and knowledge about the Leng Family, to let me and Family Head Qin understand them better.”

Knowing oneself and knowing one’s enemy is Ye Guichen’s principle of action.

Although he was not very familiar with the Leng Family, the largest family in Qinghe, from everyone’s reactions, it was clear that the Leng Family was not something the Luo Family or the Qi Family could compare with.

Qi Baishan forced a bitter smile: ”Mr. Ye, perhaps we had some misunderstandings before, hehe, my unworthy sons offended you, please don’t take it to heart. How about this, I’ll host a banquet another day and let my unworthy sons kneel and apologize to you. You can punish them as you see fit, deal with them however you want. As for dismantling our family’s plaque, I think we can let that go, can we?”

Qi Baishan tried to lower his stance. He didn’t dare to provoke Ye Guichen at all now.

Ye Guichen originally planned to dismantle the Qi Family’s plaque, but now he had lost that desire. He waved his hand upon hearing this: ”Family Head Qi, you are being too courteous.”

”Not at all, not at all.” Qi Baishan quickly stood up, with a flattering smile, not caring about how others viewed him anymore. He rubbed his hands together and cleared his throat before continuing: ”Mr. Ye, we have all witnessed your abilities. Luo Baicheng indeed deserved it. Of course, hehe, even with Miss Qian Qi here, I will still speak the truth. But I must remind Mr. Ye that even though we are all among the four great families of Qinghe, we are still somewhat different from the Leng Family.”

”Uncle Qi, why do you speak so vaguely?” Qiao Chunhe, who had been silent all this time, mocked: ”At least I have some self-awareness. If there were really only a small difference, the four great families of Qinghe Prefecture wouldn’t have changed countless times over the centuries, while the Leng Family has always remained at the top.”

She stood up and looked towards Ye Guichen: ”Ye, I don’t care who you are, nor do I want to know who you are. You’ve beaten the Luo Family to the point where they can’t lift their heads. That does show your ability. But sometimes, knowing when to restrain yourself can help you live longer. From Mi Lan’s look, that girl has feelings for you. Hehe, but some things can’t be settled by emotions. Well, if you just wanted to inquire about the Leng Family and have no other matters, then I’ll take my leave.”

She turned and was about to leave.

Yet, Ye Guichen smiled: ”What, do you all lack the courage to even talk about the Leng Family?”

”What do you know!” Qiao Chunhe was obviously angered by Ye Guichen’s words: ”You don’t understand anything and are just showing off here! Hmph, I’m afraid you are heading towards your own death!”

After saying that, she seemed to realize her words were too ambiguous, and hurriedly argued: ”Hmph, I just feel that Mi Lan is already pitiful enough, and I don’t want her to see you die.”

Luo Qianqi raised her head, looking at Qiao Chunhe like a stranger.

In her impression, Qiao Chunhe was a woman extremely indifferent to men, very rational. Now, she was actually caring about the life and death of almost a stranger?

”Could it be that this Da Qiao has also fallen for Ye Guichen?”

For some reason, Luo Qianqi felt a mix of emotions, feeling strange.

”Mr. Ye, it is not that we dare not mention it, but that mentioning it is unnecessary.” Luo Qianqi said.

”Oh?” Ye Guichen showed an interested expression: ”The more you say so, the more I want to hear.”

”Since you want to hear, I will speak.” Luo Qianqi hesitated for a moment, but still said: ”The Leng Family has probably stood in Qinghe Prefecture for at least five hundred years, likely existing since the Late Ming period. Right, seemingly even longer than the Qi Family’s Martial Arts Top Scholar lineage.”

As she said this, Luo Qianqi glanced at Qi Baishan.

Qi Baishan felt extremely awkward: ”Miss Luo really humbles us. Initially, our Qi Family was indeed more glorious than the Leng Family, but we’ve regressed more and more. Hehe, now, we are not even worth one of their pinkies.”

In his words, there was a hint of bitter jealousy.

In the eyes of others, being one of the four great families was grand and arrogant, but in front of true powers, they were still vulnerable.

Luo Qianqi continued: ”The current heads of the Leng Family are two brothers. The elder brother, Leng Wencheng, is unmatched in intelligence and is known as ’The Scholar’. As for the younger brother, the person Luo Baicheng mentioned, named Leng Wujiu, although domineering, he indeed has the power to be so. He is said to be the strongest person in Qinghe Martial Arts and is reportedly on the Huaxia Martial Arts hidden dragon list. His martial skills have few opponents in Qinghe.”

”Of course, besides these two, the most feared should be their father, who, like Mr. Luo, has retired but still oversees major matters. That person is renowned as the top figure in Qinghe Prefecture, known as the Qinghe King, Leng Bosun.”

”That’s right. The Qinghe King can be compared to the Swift Rain Song Jiang of old. Whether he is generous in person, we haven’t seen and won’t comment, but his vast connections are undeniable. If he wanted, with one call, he could gather at least ten top-tier experts to serve him.” Qi Baishan also forced a bitter smile, continuing.

Their words carried endless envy.

Wencheng and Wujiu.

Qinghe King?

Ye Guichen squinted his eyes, deep in thought.
