My Silly, Sweet Wife

”What?” Shang Wen Dong was completely baffled, ”Hua Sheng? You with him? Mr. Ye, has this big rat become a spirit?”

Ye Guichen shook his head, ”It hasn’t become a spirit yet, but it probably has developed some spiritual sense.”

Saying that, he gestured to the big rat, ”Why don’t you say hello to them?”

The big rat stood up and bowed to Shang Wen Dong and the others, astonishing them so much their jaws almost dropped.

Ning Chengwen was completely captivated by it, and he straight-up went over and picked up the big rat, ”Wow, immortal brother, you really are an immortal! Look at this, the fur of this big rat is so shiny, as if it bathes often, it’s not dirty at all.”

As he spoke, he kept petting the big rat’s fur.

The big rat seemed to know Ning Chengwen wouldn’t hurt it, and it even deliberately licked Ning Chengwen’s neck.

Shang Wen Dong almost gagged in disgust.

Yet Ning Chengwen looked at Ye Guichen with great expectation, ”Immortal brother, this big rat is so smart, if you don’t have time, can I take care of it?”

Ye Guichen didn’t mind.

Although he hadn’t yet found a way to help the big rat truly cultivate into a spirit, Ye Guichen believed it wouldn’t take long for him to help the big rat achieve this.

By then, the big rat would surely become a great ally of his.

”Alright, if you’re willing, you can play with it.” Ye Guichen said to the big rat, ”Hua Sheng, you okay with that?”

The big rat, already impressed with Ye Guichen’s tail regeneration ability, had no reason to refuse.

It nodded its head vigorously, once again astonishing Shang Wen Dong.

Almost simultaneously, a jaw-dropping event unfolded in Tianjing that could cause a lot of jaws to drop.

The patriarch of the Shen Family, one of the four great families in Tianjing, Old Master Shen Wanzhong, was getting married.

That’s right, it caused a stir throughout the entire capital city.

Shen Wanzhong, in his nineties and well past the age of romance, was planning to marry a young, beautiful woman seventy years younger than him, supposedly a well-bred lady from the southwest.

This was explosive news, there was no doubt about it.

When Ye Guichen returned to the medicine hall and informed Su Tong and the others of his safety, he received a call from Feng Wuji.

”Master, master, I have big news to tell you!”

Feng Wuji was incredibly excited as he shouted over the phone, ”It’s so freaking explosive, you’ll never guess it!”

Ye Guichen asked, ”What’s up? Are you about to become the family head?”

”Master, becoming the family head is nothing compared to this; it’s even more explosive. The entire capital is in an uproar. Oh my heavens, I just got the news and called you right away, it’s absolutely crazy.”

Ye Guichen, impatient, said, ”What is it, just spill it.”

”Haha, you know about that Wu Family daughter, Wu Nuannuan, right?” Feng Wuji asked.

Of course, Ye Guichen knew about Wu Nuannuan.

But how was this related to the Shen Family?

Could it be that Wu Nuannuan had gotten together with Shen Mu?

Recalling Wu Nuannuan’s tactics, Ye Guichen thought it plausible.

Although Shen Mu was a son of the Shen Family with some skills, he was likely no match for Wu Nuannuan, who had been trained since childhood, in the art of seduction.

At the time, Ye Guichen thought that if Shen Mu and Wu Nuannuan were truly together, Shen Mu would probably end up being used by Wu Nuannuan and still have to count her money.

”Wu Nuannuan got together with Shen Mu?” Ye Guichen inquired, thinking as much.

Unexpectedly, Feng Wuji wasn’t surprised and sighed, ”Master, Wu Nuannuan being with Shen Mu is hardly newsworthy. You don’t know, but Shen Mu was planning to get engaged to the Wu Family, but today, he called off the engagement, claiming it was a misunderstanding with Wu Nuannuan and handed her over to Old Master Shen. Not only that, but Old Master Shen is planning to personally visit the Wu Family to seal the betrothal.”

Ye Guichen was almost so shocked by the news that he dropped his phone.

”What the—, you’re saying Wu Nuannuan is to be handed over to Old Master Shen?” Even Ye Guichen, usually calm, was taken aback by this news.

This couldn’t be real?

”Is your information true?”

”Of course it’s true, the entire capital is buzzing!” Feng Wuji, after a pause, seemed to think of something else, ”Oh, by the way, since you have a grudge with the Shen Family, I heard Old Man Shen issued a bounty order. If anyone can take your life, besides getting a ten-billion reward, they would also gain the friendship of the Shen Family.”

”Damn, the friendship of the Shen Family, huh? Although it sounds daunting, Old Master Shen’s intentions are clear. Whoever kills you, they would handle other matters for them. As for other rewards, there’s apparently more, but I don’t know the details, seems like they’ll only be discussed once they have your head.”

”Oh, there’s another tidbit. The Shen Family also announced that they hope to see all your enterprises wiped out on his wedding day, and whoever opposes you will receive unimaginable rewards.”

Feng Wuji expressed concern, ”Master, Shen Wanzhong is going all out this time. Despite what happened at the Su Family tarnishing his reputation, without hard evidence that you killed Shen Family members, he dares to go this far. He’s definitely not considering the Feng and Su Families at all!”

”Remember, I, Feng Wuji, firmly support you. After hearing the news, my grandfather has already rushed to the Shen Family. He intends to pressure Shen Wanzhong. I believe the Su Family will take action soon as well. Master, what do you plan to do?”

Ye Guichen didn’t think Shen Wanzhong would go to such lengths to eliminate him.

As the saying goes, extraordinary rewards invite brave actions.

Just the ten-billion reward would drive many to risk their lives to trouble him.

And beyond that, there are more rewards, surely attracting many assassins eager to try.

It seemed like sparing Shen Mu turned out to be a mistake on his part.

”Wuji, tell your grandfather not to worry; I’ll handle it myself.” Ye Guichen naturally thought Shen Wanzhong’s drastic steps had much to do with Wu Nuannuan.

In the southwest, Wu Nuannuan had consistently shown affection toward him, but he was indifferent.

The last time he saw Wu Nuannuan, Ye Guichen clearly sensed endless hatred in her eyes.

Yet, within such a short time, Wu Nuannuan became the wife of the Shen Family head, which both amazed Ye Guichen and made him secretly thankful he showed no interest in her.

Such a woman was just too scary.

Although he wasn’t sure what tactics she used to kick Shen Mu aside and cling to Shen Wanzhong, such moves were definitely not something an ordinary person could achieve.

Ye Guichen didn’t care to deal with such people.

If he really got entangled with a woman like Wu Nuannuan, Ye Guichen reckoned it would be utterly exhausting.
