My Silly, Sweet Wife

Uncle Fu looked at Shen Mu with a wary expression.

Mr. Feng knew Shen Mu, and although he didn’t get out of the car, he rolled down the window and gave Uncle Fu a reassuring glance.

If Shen Mu wanted to make trouble, he wouldn’t stop him on the road.

Moreover, by Shen Mu’s demeanor, he certainly had something to say to him.

”You must be Shen Wanzhong’s grandson, right?” Mr. Feng asked.

Shen Mu leaned close to the window: ”Mr. Feng, I know you have a good relationship with Mr. Ye. This time, my grandfather issued a bounty order on Mr. Ye, which made you angry. But you should know, this wasn’t my grandfather’s intention; he was bewitched by Wu Nuannuan, that vixen.”

Mr. Feng smiled: ”What do you want to say? Haha, you’re not trying to excuse Shen Wanzhong now, are you?”

Shen Mu quickly shook his head: ”No, I just want to cooperate with you.”

”Oh?” Mr. Feng looked interested: ”What kind of cooperation?”

”I’ll kill Wu Nuannuan, that vixen, and after that, I’ll also have my grandfather revoke the bounty order on Mr. Ye. However, I hope you will support me in becoming the next Family Head of the Shen Family.” Shen Mu did not hide his intentions and stated them directly.

Mr. Feng was stunned for a moment, not expecting Shen Mu to want to kill Wu Nuannuan.

At this moment, Wu Nuannuan was Shen Wanzhong’s darling, and if she died, Shen Wanzhong was likely to erupt in anger.

However, Mr. Feng thought it over and felt that he had nothing to lose from this matter.

Moreover, after the previous encounter, Mr. Feng clearly felt that Wu Nuannuan was more difficult to deal with. If Wu Nuannuan died, it would be entirely beneficial for the Feng Family.

”Supporting you is no problem; after all, we all live in Tianjing, my Feng Family will cooperate with whoever.” After pondering for a moment, Mr. Feng agreed: ”But, young man, that woman Wu Nuannuan is clearly not simple. I’m afraid it won’t be easy for you to kill her, right?”

”Mr. Feng, as for how to handle her, that’s my business. I only hope that after that vixen is dead, you can protect me. Once I become the Family Head of the Shen Family, I will definitely ally with the Feng Family.” Shen Mu raised his hand in a vow.

Mr. Feng pressed Shen Mu’s hand down: ”Haha, no need to swear, I trust you!”

With that, he rolled up the car window, signaling the driver to move on.

As Mr. Feng left, a sinister smile appeared on Shen Mu’s lips: ”Wu Nuannuan, you brought this on yourself!”

He quickly got into the car and headed back.

Meanwhile.

At the Qin Family.

Qin Yu quickly reached the Qin Family Patriarch.

Although the Qin Family was the top-ranking mansion in Tianjing, it was different from the other families in that its Family Head was a woman.

Yes, not only a woman but also a lady.

The Family Head of the Qin Family was named Qin Ru, the daughter of the previous Family Head, and although her husband was an outsider, he was clearly of the marrying-in type.

Qin Ru had just turned fifty but still retained her charm. Just sitting there, she exuded an aura of regal superiority that most people couldn’t withstand.

Even some of the elders in the Qin Family feared Qin Ru, and due to her high status and considerable seniority, Qin Yu had to call her ’Granny’ upon seeing her.

Most women would dislike this title, as it instantly made them sound old.

But Qin Ru loved it.

She not only loved it but insisted that all Qin Family members call her Granny, regardless of age, everyone must address her as such.

”Granny...” When Qin Yu saw Qin Ru, a similarly authoritative middle-aged man was seated opposite her.

The middle-aged man was tall and had distinct facial features, and at first glance, he was clearly someone of extraordinary status.

Qin Yu immediately recognized this middle-aged man.

He was none other than the Military God of Hua Country, Chu Tiannan.

”Uncle Chu...” Qin Yu didn’t expect Chu Tiannan to be here and lowered his head, timidly calling out.

Regarding the Ninth Grand Protector’s downfall, Qin Yu hadn’t dared to inform Chu Tiannan immediately. She had come to see Qin Ru to discuss it.

Chu Tiannan nodded slightly at Qin Yu but remained silent.

Qin Ru snorted coldly: ”Is the Ninth Grand Protector still alive?”

Qin Yu was so frightened she fell to her knees with a thud: ”Granny, he’s alive, but not in good condition.”

Qin Yu understood that Chu Tiannan was likely visiting the Qin Family because of the Ninth Grand Protector.

Qin Ru’s expression was stern: ”I’ve always advised you all that there’s always someone better and skies beyond yours, Qin Yu. I know your diplomacy skills are strong, and your relationship with Situ Yu is unique. But some matters can be ignored, some can’t be done. A huge mistake has occurred, and you dared to conceal it, hiding the Ninth Grand Protector privately!”

Although Qin Ru’s words seemed calm, to Qin Yu, they sounded like thunder exploding.

”Granny, I... I didn’t know Mr. Ye was that formidable!” Qin Yu lowered her head, not daring to argue: ”After arranging the Ninth Grand Protector, I immediately came back to report to you.”

Chu Tiannan spoke: ”There’s no need to be tense. Old Jiu has always been arrogant; this incident serves as a lesson. Tell me about the scene at Dragon Tomb Peak.”

Without delay, Qin Yu recounted the events at Dragon Tomb Peak in detail.

She initially intended to hide some details, but with such a prominent figure as Chu Tiannan present, Qin Yu understood that any trickery would be easily exposed.

Therefore, she dared not conceal anything.

After listening, Chu Tiannan frowned and fell into contemplation.

Qin Ru’s face showed a hint of shock: ”Alright, I understand. Immediately send the Ninth Grand Protector to Mr. Chu’s place, and ensure he receives treatment from the Corps’ best doctors. You don’t need to worry about anything else.”

Qin Yu felt relieved, promptly agreed, and departed quickly.

After Qin Yu left, the cold expression on Qin Ru’s face disappeared, replaced by a coyness typical of a young girl: ”Brother Chu, that Mr. Ye sounds quite impressive.”

Upon hearing ’Brother Chu,’ Chu Tiannan sighed softly, seemingly wanting to stop her, but ultimately shook his head, taking a deep look at Qin Ru: ”Family Head Qin, our statuses are now different. What happened many years ago is past. If people hear you call me like this, they’ll surely misunderstand.”

”Brother Chu, what’s wrong with others misunderstanding?” Qin Ru pouted: ”You know why I became the Family Head of the Qin Family. Even though I’m married, you should understand my feelings for you. All these years, I’ve remained pure, and that man hasn’t even laid eyes on me. I’ve been waiting for you. You told me that becoming Family Head was to connect with the hidden branch of the Qin Family, to safeguard Hua Country’s peace. I listened, but now I’m over fifty, and you’re middle-aged. When can we be together?”
