Chapter 24: The Secret of Nanyuan
Jiuxiao wanted to test whether he was familiar with the situation in Nanyuan: "Have the Bai family and the Yan family made any big moves recently?"
Jiuxiao, who is far away from Nanyuan, is actually very concerned about those families that are at odds with the Shi family.
Shi Rongchuan knew that this was a test from Master Jiu, so he told him all the information he had received.
The Bai family recently wants to unite with several small families to seize the Shi family's assets and is already preparing to marry into those families.
As for the Yan family, there are several young people who are beginning to show their talents in Nanyuan politics.
Yang Zengyue was a little confused after hearing about the Yan family. His master knew the Nanyuan Yan family. Could this Yan family be the family of Yan Lingjun?
If so, then Lord Yan Ling wanted him to exchange, and it was intentional!
Yang Zengyue and Chen Jiaer were both wondering in their hearts whether this Yan family was the same Yan family of Yan Lingxuan who became the highest official of Zhongwei in the apocalypse.
When Jiuxiao heard that the Yan family had actually started to get involved in politics, he immediately understood the Yan family's plan.
"Is that old guy Yan Jinxi dead?" Jiuxiao's tone was not polite at all, and it was obvious that he had a big grudge against this man named Yan Jinxi.
This surprised Yang Zengyue very much.
The master has always been gentle and I have never seen him lose his temper.
He was even more amiable towards the villagers of Sikunshan. In the past, when medical care was not well developed, he was always enthusiastic when the villagers asked for medicine when they were sick, and he never had a quarrel with anyone.
In Sikun Mountain, the name of Taoist Jiuxiao is well-known. He has saved many people and cured many people.
Therefore, Jiuxiao is very much loved and respected by the villagers in the Sikunshan area.
Shi Rongchuan obviously knew about the past grievances between the Shi and Yan families. "Yan Jinxi is still alive and well."
Although they all hope that Yan Jinxi will die early, how can heaven grant one's wishes?
Jiuxiao was very unhappy when he heard this. Yan Jinxi was good at using shady tricks. It must have been very difficult for the Shi family to have only Shi Baigu supporting it all these years.
Jiuxiao continued to ask: "Which families does the Bai family plan to marry into?"
Shi Rongchuan answered them one by one: "Mr. Bai has his eyes on the Mo family, but he's also hanging on to the Ren family."
After hearing Shi Rongchuan's words, Yang Zengyue was already very sure of Ren Xiyuan's identity.
She had previously thought about returning to Nanyuan to clarify the relationship between Ren Xiyuan and the Bai family.
I didn't expect it to be so easy.
Chen Jiaer was so angry that his face turned blue.
The fact that her teammates, who had fought together and supported each other for three years, turned out to be the enemy's spy was enough to make her furious.
No one in the Bai family is easy to get along with. They are all ruthless and will eat people without leaving any bones behind.
At the end of the world, the Bai family occupied a city, sealed it off from all sides, and watched the survivors die without helping them.
He also plundered supplies everywhere, and finally used the supplies stored over the years to exchange the position of chairman from Yan Lingxuan.
After Yang Zengyue decided to return to Nanyuan, he got rid of the Bai family, as keeping them would be a nuisance.
Also, the Yan family has big problems.
The situation at the end of the world was actually very wrong. She didn't know how the Yan family came to power, but she knew that Yan Lingxuan's position did not match his ability.
In the last days where strength is respected, Yan Lingxuan should not and will not become the supreme commander, regardless of his strength or public opinion.
But the one who sat in that seat was him.
Someone is behind this and fanning the flames.
Who could it be?
Yang Zengyue has a hunch that as long as she finds the person behind Yan Lingxuan, she will be able to solve the mystery of her master's disappearance.
Unexpectedly, Shi Rongchuan provided her with so much useful information. The Shi family is indeed very capable.
Shi Rongchuan explained the complicated relationships of the Nanyuan family in just a few words.
His opinion of Shi Rongchuan changed instantly.
Jiuxiao saw the shadow of his brother in Shi Rongchuan's words and deeds, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and was also happy for his brother.
Although the Shi family has lost many descendants, there are still sons who can support the family.
Some of the questions Jiuxiao asked were questions he himself wanted to know, and some were questions he asked to help Zengyue gather information.
The families in Nanyuan have complicated relationships. Zengyue mentioned before that the highest official of Zhongwei at the end of the world was named Yan, so he knew the Yan family in Nanyuan.
After hearing the news they wanted to hear most, Yang Zengyue and Chen Jiaer left the main room, leaving the space to the master and his great-grandson.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon. Yang Zengyue and Chen Jiaer went to the third floor and cleaned up the guest room for Shi Rongchuan to stay temporarily.
The third floor was very hot and there were no extra fans at home, so Yang Zengyue called the electrical appliance store in town and ordered an air conditioner.
It just so happened that the master in the store was free, and he estimated that the goods could be delivered and installed in half an hour.
After cleaning up, Yang Zengyue and Chen Jiaer went to sort out the items they purchased in the morning.
Shi Rongchuan's heart was beating fast when he saw how hard the two girls were moving things.
Which girl can walk ten meters with two boxes of soy sauce in each hand without taking a breath? Even he can't do it!
He originally planned to help the two of them, but was rejected.
Both of them think he is in the way!
Jiuxiao knew that his granddaughter and Jiaer must have some secrets that were inconvenient for Shi Rongchuan to know, so he didn't ask him for help.
Otherwise it is really impossible to explain.
Jiuxiao told Shi Rongchuan to sit back and relax, as these things would only take a few minutes.
It was already past five o'clock after unloading the goods. The technician from the appliance store was installing an air conditioner upstairs. The two of them had nothing to do for the time being and were preparing to cook dinner.
Chen Jiaer washed the vegetables one by one, as if she was thinking about something. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something: "Sister Zengyue, could it be that the Yan family has known about you for a long time?"
Yang Zengyue paused while chopping vegetables. "My teacher, Yan Lingjun, has looked through my personal files and knows that my grandfather is my only relative."
Yan Lingjun, Yan Lingxuan, could these two be brother and sister?
After all, this surname is not common in Nanyuan.
Yang Zengyue planned to ask Shi Rongchuan about it during dinner.
Since they had plenty of time, the two of them planned to prepare a more substantial dinner.
There was stewed beef with potatoes, braised pork, ginseng chicken soup, salt-baked prawns, steamed sea bass, cold cucumber salad, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, fried eggplant boxes, and the chicken feet that the two of them had made as snacks before. It looked very rich.
After the installer installed the air conditioner, Yang Zengyue paid the installation fee and other expenses, and then invited Shi Rongchuan to come to the table for dinner.
The four of them ate very quickly. During the meal, Jiuxiao mainly asked Shi Rongchuan about some matters of the Shi family and the recent situation of Shi Rongchuan's mother Shi Baigu.
After dinner, the four of them sat under the grape trellis. Pumpkin lay at Zengyue's feet, wagging his tail.
Yang Zengyue and Chen Jiaer were browsing shopping websites. Jiuxiao, fanning himself, asked Shi Rongchuan's father Meng Yunchong with concern and got a surprising piece of news.
It was from Shi Rongchuan that he learned that Meng Yunchong and Shi Baigu had divorced long ago.
Jiuxiao asked hurriedly: "When did it happen?"
Shi Rongchuan replied calmly, "When I was four years old, my mother found out that Meng Yunchong had another woman outside."
