My Silly, Sweet Wife

”Shen Mu, are you the Family Head, or is the master the Family Head?” Upon seeing Shen Mu, Wu Nuannuan’s expression darkened, ”Shen Mu, at a time like this, are you still boosting others’ morale while diminishing our own? Hmph, I know you’ve always held a grudge against the master, feeling he took me from your side.”

”But it’s my true affection for the master that matters, it’s not the master’s fault at all. You harbor jealousy, yet the master hasn’t made things difficult for you. You should be content. And at such a critical moment for the Shen Family, you come out to obstruct; what are your intentions?”

”Should the deaths of the Shen Family’s sons be in vain? Should the losses of the Shen Family be in vain? If this vendetta isn’t avenged, how will the Shen Family stand in Tianjing in the future? How will the master be able to hold his head high?”

Wu Nuannuan’s words directly dispelled the last shred of hesitation in Shen Wanzhong’s heart.

Indeed, it’s already a matter of life and death.

There’s simply no way back now.

Ye Guichen’s actions have completely removed the Shen Family from its position among the four great families of Tianjing.

Even if nothing else happens now, the Shen Family has still fallen.

How could this vendetta not be avenged?

Shen Mu never imagined that Wu Nuannuan, who seemed so docile and pitiful in front of him, could be so sharp-tongued and eloquent.

Every word seemed to push Shen Wanzhong further into the abyss.

Moreover, it unknowingly caused even more repulsion in Shen Wanzhong’s heart towards Shen Mu.

What a vicious woman!

In the past, when you liked Ye Guichen, and he ignored you; now, you’re using the Shen Family’s future for revenge.

Why did I feel compassion and bring you back?

Shen Mu regretted it immensely, but it was too late to remedy it.

But where on this earth can you find medicine for regret?

”You, you heartless woman!” Seeing the changing expressions on Shen Wanzhong’s face, Shen Mu finally understood that if Wu Nuannuan didn’t die, Shen Wanzhong would never believe his words.

With this realization, Shen Mu could no longer restrain his impulses and suddenly erupted.

While standing up, a dagger appeared in his hand, stabbing straight towards Wu Nuannuan’s heart.

The sudden change startled everyone around.

Wu Nuannuan was also scared out of her wits.

Although she was very calculating, she was, after all, a woman, and in nurturing Wu Nuannuan, the Wu Family never trained her in martial arts.

Seeing Shen Mu’s grim face and eyes filled with murderous intent, Wu Nuannuan was shocked stiff, even forgetting to dodge.

Just as the dagger was about to pierce Wu Nuannuan’s heart, a cold snort was heard: ”Shen Mu, you’ve truly disappointed me!”

Bam!

After a dull thud, Shen Mu was sent flying backward.

Shen Wanzhong stood in front of Wu Nuannuan, with one hand still raised.

His eyes coldly fixed on Shen Mu: ”Shen Mu, Nuannuan is still your elder, yet you rebel and even attempt to assassinate your elder? Hmph, I must have been too indulgent and lenient with you before. From now on, you are not allowed to take a single step out of your room. If you dare, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

”Grandpa, Grandpa, you must believe me, believe me!” Seeing the resolute look in Shen Wanzhong’s eyes, Shen Mu shouted anxiously.

But it was to no avail.

Shen Wanzhong was, after all, still the Family Head of the Shen Family.

With just a wave of his hand, someone immediately stepped forward to hold Shen Mu up.

One of Shen Mu’s arms had already been crippled by Shen Wanzhong, unable to resist.

Soon, Shen Mu was dragged away.

And countless experts began to gather at the Shen Family.

The disturbances at the Shen Family certainly couldn’t escape the eyes of other forces.

Especially since Ye Guichen caused such a huge commotion, not only targeting the Shen Family’s direct line but also devastating the Shen Family’s industries, causing an uproar throughout Tianjing.

”What’s going on, I heard the Shen Family encountered big trouble?”

”Yeah, it seems like many people in the Shen Family have died.”

”More than that, Shen Family’s industries seem to have suffered a devastating blow, what’s going on?”

”How would I know, how could the Shen Family have offended such a strong opponent? This is completely undetectable!”

Many similar discussions were happening in various places.

Mr. Feng also got the news.

”What? Something happened to the Shen Family?”

Mr. Feng was originally waiting for a response from Shen Wanzhong, but instead of getting a message from him, he received news of the Shen Family’s troubles.

Uncle Fu replied, ”Yes, a series of events has hit the Shen Family, such grand schemes aren’t something ordinary people can pull off. I’m beginning to suspect if it might be Mr. Ye’s doing?”

”Mr. Ye?” Mr. Feng was taken aback, ”Are you suggesting Mr. Ye is in Tianjing?”

Uncle Fu shook his head, uncertain, ”The Young Master hasn’t shown up, and he has a good relationship with Mr. Ye, should we ask the Young Master?”

”Yes, yes, hurry and call him!”

Uncle Fu promptly took out his phone and dialed Feng Wuji’s number.

Soon, the call connected: ”Uncle Fu, what’s up?”

Uncle Fu: ”Young Master, the Old Master wants to talk to you.”

Then, Uncle Fu handed the phone to Mr. Feng.

Mr. Feng took the phone and asked directly, ”Is Mr. Ye in Tianjing?”

”Huh? Grandpa...” Feng Wuji felt a bit at a loss. Looking at Ye Guichen and hesitating for a moment, he finally said, ”Yes.”

”Really?” Mr. Feng stood up immediately, seemingly excited, ”Can I have a word with Mr. Ye?”

Feng Wuji looked at Ye Guichen, seeking his opinion.

Ye Guichen sighed.

With such a big disturbance tonight, hiding was no longer an option.

He reluctantly nodded and took the phone: ”Mr. Feng, how are you?”

Speaking of, Ye Guichen and Mr. Feng were quite old acquaintances.

Though Mr. Feng appeared stern and dignified to others, he acted like a playful old man in front of Ye Guichen, shameless and persistent.

Especially after discovering that Ye Guichen was the big master of the Heavenly God Temple, Mr. Feng once persistently nagged Ye Guichen to have Feng Wuji join the Heavenly God Temple, no matter what the cost.

Ye Guichen couldn’t be swayed by money.

He resolutely refused.

Yet, Mr. Feng liked chatting and discussing life with Ye Guichen all the time, to the point where Ye Guichen started suspecting that this old man might still be into such affairs even at his age.

After leaving Tianjing, Mr. Feng finally stopped pestering Ye Guichen, but Ye Guichen was left with some emotional scars.

”Hehe, Mr. Ye, it’s really you, it’s been so long since our last meeting. Why didn’t you come to see this old man when you came to Tianjing? I’ve missed you. By the way, how’s your master? Last time when we played chess, your master lost and refused to admit it, even tried to cheat.”

Mr. Feng, once he started talking, didn’t give Ye Guichen a chance to speak.

Ye Guichen was filled with exasperation: ”Mr. Feng, you didn’t call just to chitchat with me, did you?”

”Oh, oh, right, Mr. Ye, was the incident with the Shen Family your doing?” Mr. Feng asked without a trace of embarrassment, seemingly ignoring Ye Guichen’s impatience, with a cheeky smile on his face.
