Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1006: 56th Chapter: Wang Family’s “Bad Practices” Sweep Through Shangjing_2 Chapter 1006: 56th Chapter: Wang Family’s “Bad Practices” Sweep Through Shangjing_2 Currently, the economic situation of the Great Qian Wang Clan wasn’t actually that good, the funds for training clan members were incredibly scarce, only those deemed particularly important like members of the Heavenly Human Realm, Purple Abode Realm, or Divine Power Territory received better development opportunities. Mid to lower-tier members often didn’t receive the best training and struggled to compete against the increasingly domineering An Duke’s Mansion.

This naturally led to a vicious cycle.

After the welcoming banquet.

Wang Shouzhe and others were arranged to stay in a guest residence called Four Seasons Garden.

This estate, located within the west side of the Main Residence and covering tens of acres, was filled with numerous exotic flowers and plants, along with tastefully crafted rockeries, bamboo groves, and fishponds.

Most uniquely, the courtyard was equipped with four small formations used to control different temperatures in the area, allowing the exotic flowers that normally bloomed in different seasons to bloom at the same time and within the same garden.

In the residence, from the kitchen staff to the gardeners, down to the servants cleaning, the number of servants reached a hundred.

Such lavishness was unheard of within the Changning Wang Clan. The small courtyard where Wang Shouzhe and Liu Ruolan lived was attended only by a few servants who cleaned it regularly, plus two cooks.

Cleaning the garden and planting flowers were tasks that Wang Shouzhe and his wife undertook themselves.

Nevertheless, the Great Qian Wang Clan was still the main branch, and it wasn’t Wang Shouzhe’s place to criticize. Since he was there, he might as well adapt to the local customs.

Within Four Seasons Garden, there were rooms specifically for the stay of subordinate household heads and others. After arrangements were made for the accompanying subordinates, Wang Shouzhe himself took the Three Little Ones to live in the inner courtyard.

By this time, Wang Shouzhe and his companions finally had some private time to rest.

Wang Anye graciously handed a red envelope containing fifteen Qian Gold Notes to Wang Shouzhe, saying, “Great Grandfather, please keep this. I noticed that Ji Wuchen’s family seems not so well-off, you’ll probably want to pay them back, and it can’t always come out of your own pocket.”

Hearing this, Wang Shouzhe couldn’t help but smile.

He remembered in his past life when he was a child, any red envelopes he received were barely in his hands before they were spoken for—his parents either claimed it as savings for his future wife or outright said it was for repaying relatives’ children.

Unexpectedly, Anye was so perceptive, able to infer from mere bits and pieces that the Great Qian Wang Clan was somewhat like a giant with clay feet.

However, by acting so boldly, the lad was bound to offend people.

Sure enough, both Wang Yingxuan and Wang Liling glared at him angrily.

You, Wang Anye, a small financial master not short of money, but they definitely are~! They had just gotten a bunch of red envelopes thinking they could save up some money, and now they hadn’t even warmed the money yet and had to hand it over to the heads of the family. How could they not be furious?

Of course, they could choose not to give it, but doing so would make them appear unfilial.

“Little Seven, I just remembered a math problem I can’t solve. Let’s go chat in the small woods nearby,” Wang Yingxuan, with a shift of her eyes, suddenly wrapped her arms around Anye’s neck and said in a friendly tone.

“Yes, yes, I have several questions I can’t solve as well,” Wang Liling also said with a mischievous grin, rubbing her hands together in eagerness.

“Um… we can just teach here, why do we need to go to the small woods to do math problems?” Wang Anye asked naively, clueless about their motives.

“Just come when you’re told, why so much fuss!” Wang Yingxuan said, slightly impatiently.

Alright…

Wang Anye was indeed easy-going.

Then, a mischievous girl along with a mischievous dragon girl whisked Wang Anye into the nearby woods.

Shortly after.

Screams of Wang Yingxuan came from the forest, “Goodness, Wang Anye! I am your grand aunt! Just a fight, and you even summoned Grandfather using Divine Treasure Summoning, are you just bullying me because I’m poor? Boo hoo hoo~~” “Ji Wuchen, you dare intervene in my matters?! Ouch, ouch~~~ Go easy~~ You old thing, if you keep hitting without holding back, I might just reveal my true form! Wang Anye, you are too despicable and shameless, using a stomachache curse in a fight. Ow, ow, ow~ I was wrong… Please stop hitting, it was just a joke with Anye.”

For a time, the small woods were chaotic with energy bursts, truly a scenario of utter pandemonium.

A quarter hour later.

A girl and a dragon girl supported each other back to Wang Shouzhe’s room, both having been beaten black and blue, sobbing and begging for treatment.

It wasn’t that their injuries were particularly serious; rather, they had initially planned to go shopping and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Imperial Capital.

Now in such a state, how could they possibly face anyone?

“Aunt Yingxuan, Grand Aunt Liling,” Wang Anye followed behind the girl and the dragon, saying expressionlessly, “Please remember to inform me before joking in the future. My master reacts too severely to surprises and needs a heads-up.”

Courtesy notice, pfft~ The corners of Wang Yingxuan and Wang Liling’s mouths twitched.

Wang Shouzhe, however, watched the whole scene with amusement, never once intervening.

Ling Yingxuan and Liling couldn’t have expected that the senior Ji Wuchen had a very condensed Divine Soul now, making it not so easy to bully Anye.

This was also a good lesson for these two troublesome girls, to keep them from being too unruly.

Seizing the opportunity, Wang Shouzhe naturally took the red packets from the three of them and said with a smile, “I’ll keep these for now and buy you some Dan medicine later.”
