My Silly, Sweet Wife

Wei Donglin was polite, but his excited tone betrayed him.

Wei Donglin was right. Initially, he almost died at the hands of the Sunan King. Helplessly, he offered his sister Wei Yuting to Wu Liang of the Wu Family.

With Wu Liang’s help, Wei Donglin managed to escape with his life.

Later, after Wei Yuting got involved with Wu Liang, under the maneuvers of Wu Liang and Wei Donglin, not only did she accompany many people, but Wei Donglin’s status also steadily improved, becoming a leading figure in the entertainment industry today.

However, to Wei Donglin, he is still just Wu Liang’s sidekick.

Moreover, he does not know Shen Lian at all, nor does he know the Shen Family. Claiming Shen Lian saved him was merely to put Cheng Zidao at ease.

This time, the Wu Family decided to target the Su Family and naturally thought of using Wei Donglin, a deft move.

For the Su Family, they are surely always wary of the Wu Family, but in the eyes of the Su Family, Wei Donglin is already defeated; even if he isn’t dead, he’s likely just a beggar-like figure.

Who would have thought that the once-prominent Donglin Party leader Wei Donglin has become a dog for the Wu Family?

This time, the Wu Family has calculated well, intending to kill both Ye Guichen and Shen Lian, creating the false appearance of them perishing together in a jealous frenzy, which would definitely infuriate the Capital City Shen Family.

Once the Shen Family takes action, the Wu Family will seize the opportunity to strike, utterly crushing the Su Family, ensuring they can never rise again.

As for who Ye Guichen is or what his identity is, the Wu Family has no interest in knowing, nor have they investigated.

After all, the southwestern region is too far from Yun City and even farther from Jinling. Even knowing there’s a Sect Leader Ye in the Shennong Sect or a Mr. Ye in the Heavenly God Temple, the Wu Family has never connected these to Ye Guichen.

”Alright, you don’t need to be polite with me. I know you were unwilling when you offered your sister to me back then, but I will let you know that following us, the Wu Family, you won’t suffer,” Wu Liang seemed to have grasped Wei Donglin’s thoughts, comforting him a bit before adding, ”Just carry out your duties well, and once it’s done, my promises will be fulfilled.”

Wei Donglin was delighted: ”Mr. Wu, rest assured, this task is in my hands.”

After hanging up the phone, Wei Donglin licked his lips, a trace of bloodthirsty frenzy flashing in his eyes.

”Old Su Mu, you almost killed me back then, now let’s see how you will ever rise again!”

On the other side, Wu Liang also hung up the phone, a mocking smile turning up at the corner of his mouth.

To him, no one is truly trustworthy.

This Wei Donglin is no exception.

”Su Qing, you heard the contents of the call just now. This engagement party will mark the beginning of your Su Family’s downfall. As long as you obediently comply, once the Su Family is acquired, you’ll become the new Su Family Patriarch, understand?”

Wu Liang waved his phone meaningfully.

The young man standing beside Wu Liang, deferential as a servant, appeared to be in his thirties but carried an endless look of malevolence on his face.

His name was Su Qing, also a descendant of the Su Family.

However, compared to Su Wu, Su Ze, and Su Jiu’er, he was barely favored by Su Mu.

Excitement flashed deep in Su Qing’s eyes, and he nodded quickly: ”Mr. Wu, rest assured, I will definitely do as you say. But, how will you deal with that Wei Donglin afterward?”

Despite being a member of the Su Family, Su Qing was not favored, having long nurtured murderous intent toward Su Mu.

Several years ago, Su Qing had already started cooperating with Wu Liang.

In his view, even Su Wu, an adopted son, was more valued than him—why?

So, on the surface, Su Qing was a member of the Su Family, but secretly, he looked forward to the Su Family’s downfall.

Wu Liang did not avoid Su Qing earlier; his call with Wei Donglin had all been clearly heard by Su Qing.

Wu Liang smiled faintly: ”Su Qing, you’re going to be the Su Family Patriarch one day; how can you lack such simple wits? Haha, do you think with the Su Family’s means, they won’t recognize the mastermind? Once Wei Donglin appears, he’s bound to be the scapegoat. Rest assured, by the time the Su Family is handed to you, Wei Donglin will certainly be dead; no one will obstruct you from becoming the Su Family Patriarch.”

Upon hearing this, a greedy look flashed in Su Qing’s eyes: ”And Wei Donglin’s sister Wei Yuting...”

”Relax, you’ll get what you wish for!” Wu Liang glanced at Su Qing, though in his heart, he felt utter disdain.

The Wu Family has plotted against the Su Family for quite a while.

Wei Donglin was just a pawn on the surface, but the real pawn was Su Qing.

In such a substantial Su Family, many people have strong willpower; having a non-family member take charge is realistically challenging.

However, once Su Mu’s close blood relatives are all dead, leaving only Su Qing, and Su Qing emerges to resolve the Su Family crisis, then the position of Su Family Patriarch will naturally be within his grasp.

”Next is just waiting,” Wu Liang said with satisfaction.

This succession of moves is seamlessly perfect.

The time for the net to close has come.

Meanwhile.

Upon an artificial hill in the Su Family, Ye Guichen sat cross-legged.

The grandeur of the Su Family far exceeded Ye Guichen’s imagination.

Having obtained the Yi Mu Changqing Cultivation Technique, Ye Guichen didn’t rush to act against Shen Lian.

Since he planned to snatch the bride, he naturally wanted to do so boldly and then use powerful means to completely dispel the Shen Family’s thoughts on the Su Family.

To achieve this, it naturally had to be on the day of the engagement.

Tomorrow is the day of the engagement, and Ye Guichen seized this opportunity to first study the Yi Mu Changqing Cultivation Technique.

The artificial hill Ye Guichen sat on was a hundred meters high, surrounded by bamboo forests, and it seemed the entire Su Family was constructed around this artificial hill.

After practicing the Yi Mu Changqing Cultivation Technique for a while, Ye Guichen discovered that if this technique could be cultivated to the ninth level, it could actually reach the point of resurrection.

”This cultivation technique is truly marvelous.”

Ye Guichen was soon captivated by the Yi Mu Changqing Cultivation Technique.

The whole person immersed fully in it.

Unconsciously, a day and night had passed.

At around four or five o’clock the next morning, Ye Guichen suddenly opened his eyes and casually grabbed a wilted blade of grass in front of him.

”Silent Nurturing!”

Ye Guichen suddenly activated the first level of the Yi Mu Changqing Cultivation Technique, Silent Nurturing.

A pale green aura slowly emanated from Ye Guichen’s hand, enveloping the wilted blade of grass.

Then, the next second, a shocking scene occurred.

The blade of grass unexpectedly slowly straightened up, and the originally wilted stem began to sprout tiny buds at a visible pace.

In just under three minutes, it had remarkably grown to about ten centimeters, lush and vibrant.

”How amazing!”

Ye Guichen’s spirits were lifted.

In just a night’s time, achieving the first level already showed such effects.

However, after further attempts with more vegetation.

Ye Guichen found that he could currently only rejuvenate small, juvenile life forms like grass; larger vegetation was beyond his capability.

Nevertheless, Ye Guichen realized another thing.

Upon mastering the first level, Ye Guichen’s body seemed to be continuously absorbing spiritual energy from the world, and that spiritual energy kept nourishing Ye Guichen’s body.

Although he hadn’t reached the fasting state, Ye Guichen felt that even if he didn’t eat for three days and nights, he could remain energetic and didn’t feel hungry.

”Perhaps this is the most miraculous aspect of the Yi Mu Changqing Cultivation Technique?”

After experimenting for a while, it was already past nine in the morning before Ye Guichen descended from the artificial hill.

But just as he reached the front yard, someone blocked his way.

”Mr. Ye, I’ve been looking for you for a day, always wanting to find a chance to apologize to you; now that I’ve finally run into you, I must propose a toast to you to express my apology!”

The person blocking Ye Guichen was Cheng Zidao.
