But the scene before him made Wang Silang change his mind.
Since Xia Jinhua was a member of the Xia family and Xia Daohua was a cousin, they must have had some kinship. Even if there had been some disagreements between the sisters, they were merely minor details.
After all, you can't write two characters for "Xia" with one stroke. We all share the same ancestor, so how could there be any overnight hatred?
If Xia Jinhua were taken as a concubine, not only could he gather the bandit's team and increase his own power, he could also make up for the mistake of kidnapping the Xia family. He could even take this opportunity to make friends with Xia Daohua and put aside their previous grudges. It was truly a wise move that killed three birds with one stone.
The more Wang Silang thought about it, the more he felt that he was extremely intelligent and was simply the most remarkable person among the new generation of the Wang family. Given time, he might be three times more powerful than his eldest brother who could inherit the position of head of the family!
After hearing this, Xia Jinhua blushed and felt shy.
Xia Daohua was extremely surprised, her eyes widening involuntarily. "You brought all my family here just to arrange a marriage for my cousin? And you left so quickly, like you were robbing me?"
Wang Silang couldn't help but choke up at Xia Daohua's sincere question. Just as he was about to answer, Xia Daohua's eyes were filled with obvious suspicion. She looked him up and down, and said something that made him furious:
"You're already so old, how could you not be married yet? Could it be that your wife just died, or that she ran away with someone else and you're planning to remarry?"
Wang Silang almost couldn't keep the smile on his face. For a moment, he even revealed a bit of ferocity. He replied stiffly, "Miss Xia, you misunderstood. My wife is doing well in Luojing. She is filial to my elders and raising children for me. She is in good health. Miss Xia, please be careful with your words!"
"Then since you already have a wife and children, why are you still talking about discussing marriage with my cousin?"
"I, Wang Silang, have a rich family and great wealth, and I fell in love with Jinhua at first sight. I want to discuss marriage with the Xia family and take a good concubine. What's wrong with that?"
"Oh, so you're taking a concubine..." Xia Daohua dragged out her words. The shyness on Xia Jinhua's face disappeared, replaced by exasperated anger and paleness.
"Xia Daohua, what do you mean?"
"It's nothing, I'm just worried you'll get hurt, Sister Jinhua. Some people say nice things, but who knows what they're really up to!"
Wang Silang closed his eyes helplessly, not wanting to watch the two sisters' verbal battle any longer. The most important thing was that Jinhua had a firm grip on the power in her hands and would not let go. He could not afford to offend her now...
Wang Silang suggested meeting the Xia family, and the two sisters finally calmed down.
Xia Daohua walked along, quietly and blatantly putting away everything she liked into her space.
However, the thing disappeared behind her, and Xia Jinhua and Wang Silang, who were walking in front of her, did not notice it. The servants and followers who followed her from a distance did not dare to say a word due to the rules.
When they arrived at Songtao Garden where the Xia family was temporarily staying, Wang Silang turned around and saw that a large hexagonal square-shouldered enamel vase, more than one meter tall and placed at the corner of the corridor, had disappeared.
His lips trembled slightly twice, and he tried his best to calm down: "This Songtao Garden is the newest building in the entire manor, and it is also the one that is cleaned the most frequently."
What he meant was that he was sincere and had never treated the Xia family unfairly.
Xia Daohua nodded and smiled, "I believe you. The Wang family is not that stingy. Since they invited my family to be their guests, how could they not treat them well?"
Wang Silang smiled awkwardly, and he began to feel fortunate that he had settled the Xia family in Songtao Garden - although this was actually just to show that Xia Jinhua was respectable in his presence.
While Xia Daohua was looking into Songtao Garden, he secretly winked at the soldiers following him, indicating that they should investigate the mystery of the missing vase.
However, no matter how skilled his followers were in martial arts or how fearless they were of death, they could only fight against tangible enemies. When faced with vases, tables, chairs, and benches that suddenly disappeared out of thin air, they could only stare blankly and could not perform any useful skills.
