Chapter 790 The Last Carnival
Pei Zheng was not angered by his words, and even his tone of voice remained calm.
"How are you?"
The first thing he said was concern for Zhongyi's health, but Zhongyi was not fooled by appearances.
Pei Zheng, the eldest son of the Pei family, is a man with a black heart and ruthless hands. He looks as calm as a chrysanthemum, but there are countless twists and turns waiting for others to jump in.
"Thanks to you, it's not bad."
Pei Zheng nodded and said, "That's good. I was afraid that it would be less fun if you weren't there on the ninth day."
"On such an important day, I would have been there even if I had to lie on a stretcher. Do you feel a little regretful? If you had sent more people that night, the grass on my grave would be three meters high by now."
"I do feel a little regretful. You are a nuisance when you are alive."
Pei Zheng and Zhong Lingxiao are different. Zhong Lingxiao thinks that Zhong Yi’s situation is hopeless, but Pei Zheng does not underestimate Zhong Yi.
I'm afraid he can come back to life.
"It's a pity you didn't get the chance."
"Yes, we will eradicate them completely." After the ninth day of the first lunar month, Zhong Lingxiao will be able to encroach on Zhong Yi's power with justification.
Even if Zhong Lingxiao wanted him to live, Pei Zheng would find a chance to get rid of the person in front of him.
"Really? Then I'll wait and see."
Zhong Yi chuckled and said, "It's just that you should take care of your household chores. One or two of you are making a fool of yourself."
After saying that, he walked around Pei Zheng and left.
Pei Zhengduo took a look and then got into the car.
Pei Gan said flatteringly when he saw him, "Brother, it must be an accident that that sickly Zhong Yi came here. There's no conspiracy! You see, he just came to have a meal and didn't do anything else."
"He also spoke to Feng Nanxi."
Pei Gan said dismissively, "What's there to talk about with that little girl? At most, she's trying to find out whether our Pei family is really going to marry into the Feng family. What kind of trouble can a little girl cause?"
"Pei Gan."
Pei Zheng's eyes were cold, "Don't underestimate anyone."
"I see."
"Starting today, your bank account will be frozen. Don't go out fooling around. I'll even arrange a party for you and Miss Feng to sit together. You must apologize properly next time. I don't care what method you use to deal with her."
Pei Gan said with a sad face: "She really has no manners, I don't like her!"
"It's also possible not to marry."
Pei Gan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "What?"
"You sever ties with the Pei family and have nothing to do with them from now on."
"Ah? I don't want to! Big brother, I was wrong. I will listen to you."
Pei Gan had no confidence in front of Pei Zheng.
Pei Zheng's eyes were filled with impatience. "Go and deal with Pei Chun's affairs. Get them mother and daughter out of the Pei family, and give those side branches of the Pei family a good beating."
"Really drive them away?"
Pei Zheng said calmly, "Didn't you say this yourself at the Xie family's engagement party? Leave no assets behind and let them fend for themselves."
So cruel!
Pei Gan felt a chill down his back.
If he doesn't obey, will he end up like Pei Chun?
…
"cheers!"
"I wish the young master a happy and prosperous year after year!"
"Brother Zhong, you will soon become the head of the Zhong family, and the old man is getting old."
In the private club, Zhong Lingxiao leaned on the sofa and heard these words. He raised his glass and nodded to the young men who complimented him.
He also showed a bit of pride on his face, and it was obvious that he was looking forward to the arrival of the ninth day.
"Brother Zhong, what's the first thing you're going to do after you take over?"
"Yes, don't forget your brothers."
Zhong Lingxiao took a sip of red wine and squinted his eyes slightly.
After coming to power, of course he would get rid of Zhong Yi first, use his power as a superior to devour the remaining forces of Zhong Yi, and then kill him completely.
Didn’t he fake his death in Moon Village and return to the imperial capital?
Then let him really die.
Anyway, his grave is ready in Yueliang Village.
"Brother Zhong, I heard that the Zhong family's ancestral hall is particularly magnificent and grand. We haven't seen it yet. Can we really be there when the ancestral hall opens?"
"Can."
The Zhong family's ancestral hall is not easily shown to the public, but...
On that day, the heir of the Zhong family would be announced and written on the genealogy in the ancestral hall. He would control everything in the Zhong family for the next few decades, which also meant that Old Master Zhong would completely give up his power.
He is old enough.
The Zhong family had to support two more generations of useless descendants because Zhong Lingxiao's father, Zhong Hongfei, was too useless and could do nothing but play with women and gamble.
Although Zhong Lingxiao and Zhong Yi each have their shortcomings and are not the most perfect heirs, they are good enough among the younger generation.
A little flaw can be ignored.
Old Master Zhong is too old to wait any longer and has no way to train an heir for Zhong Lingxiao and Zhong Yi.
In reality, Zhong Yi was quite good, but it was a pity that she would give up everything for that country girl. He was truly afraid that one day the Huo family would say they wanted to secure their position as the most prestigious family in the imperial capital, and Zhong Yi would generously hand it over.
Because as an illegitimate child, Zhong Yi has resentment towards the Zhong family.
Very subtle.
But the old man saw it.
If he comes to power, he will not be too kind to other members of the Zhong family!
Being cruel is actually a good quality!
But Old Master Zhong was old and couldn't bear to see people killing each other.
Zhong Lingxiao said with a smile on his face, "I can give each of you an invitation to the Zhong family's ninth day banquet. If your relatives and friends want, I can also give them to them."
“That’s great!”
"Brother Zhong, I think with you here, the Zhong family will definitely get better and better!"
"Yeah, that illegitimate child is nothing!"
"He's no match for you. Even Miss Lu abandoned him. Netizens say he's a scumbag and unworthy of being the young master of the No. 1 family. Some are even calling for him to be expelled from the Zhong family."
Zhong Lingxiao felt very comfortable listening to these compliments.
"Save the good stuff for the ninth day and find more people to attend the banquet."
He wants more people to see that day.
"Yes! What are the rules of the Zhong family on the 9th day of the first lunar month?"
Zhong Lingxiao casually said, "We'll open the ancestral hall, burn incense, worship our ancestors, and then announce the heir. After that, there will be a celebration banquet. There's nothing special to note. You can all watch, but our ancestors of the Zhong family only accept incense from members of our family."
"That's great! I also want to see what the most magnificent ancestral hall in the imperial capital looks like."
Someone asked ambiguously: "Young Master, can Miss Lin burn incense?"
"She's carrying my flesh and blood. Her burning incense represents the child, so she can naturally enter the ancestral hall to burn incense. Our ancestors value the continuation of the incense and the prosperity of the family the most, and they won't care about her status."
After all, he had three wives and four concubines many years ago.
"What about the eldest young lady?"
When Zhong Lingxiao heard someone mention Zhao Shuyuan, he frowned in disgust and said, "She is my legitimate wife and is eligible to offer incense."
Sooner or later he will divorce this boring woman.
…
Time flies.
Soon it was the ninth day of the lunar year.
