Chapter 790 The Last Carnival

Pei Zheng was not angered by his words, and even his tone of voice was 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 dark heart and evil hands. He looks as calm as a chrysanthemum, but there are countless twists and turns waiting for others to jump into his trap.

"Thanks to you, it's not bad."

Pei Zheng nodded and said, "That's good. I was afraid that you would miss out on the fun if you didn't show up on the ninth day."

"On such an important day, I would have been there even if I had to lie on a bier. 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. Your existence is a nuisance."

Pei Zheng and Zhong Lingxiao are different. Zhong Lingxiao thinks Zhong Yi's situation is hopeless, but Pei Zheng does not underestimate Zhong Yi.

I'm afraid he'll come back to life.

"It's a pity you didn't get the chance."

"Yes, we will. We will eradicate the roots of the problem." After the ninth day of the first lunar month, Zhong Lingxiao will be able to take advantage of Zhong Yi's power.

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 this, he walked around Pei Zheng and left.

Pei Zheng took another look and then got into the car.

When Pei Qian saw him, he said flatteringly: "Brother, the sickly Zhong Yi's visit must have been an accident. There is no conspiracy! You see, he just came to eat and did nothing else."

"He also talked to Feng Nanxi."

Pei Qian said with disdain: "What can we talk about with that little girl? At most, she can ask whether our Pei family is really going to marry into the Feng family. What kind of trouble can a little girl cause?"

"Pei Qian."

Pei Zheng's eyes were filled with coldness. "Don't underestimate anyone."

"I see."

"Starting today, freeze your bank card and don't go out fooling around. I will also arrange for you to sit with Miss Feng. You must apologize properly next time. I don't care what method you use to deal with her."

Pei Qian cried and said, "She really has no character. I don't like her!"

"It is also possible not to get married."

Pei Qian's eyes lit up when he heard this: "What?"

"You sever your ties with the Pei family and have nothing to do with them from now on."

"Ah? I don't want it! Brother, I was wrong. I will listen to you."

Pei Qian 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 and their daughter out of the Pei family, and give those side branches of the Pei family a good beating."

"Really rushing 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 Qian's back felt cold.

If he doesn't listen, will he end up like Pei Chun?

…

"Cheers!"

"I wish you a happy and prosperous future every year!"

"Brother Zhong, you will soon become the head of the Zhong family, and the old lady is getting old."

In the private club, Zhong Lingxiao listened to these words while leaning on the sofa. He raised his wine 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 of the New Year.

"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 taking the position, of course he would get rid of Zhong Yi first, use his authority as a superior to devour the remaining power of Zhong Yi, and then kill him all.

Didn’t he fake his death in Moon Village and return to the capital?

Then let him really die.

Anyway, his grave is ready in Moon Village.

"Brother Zhong, I heard that the Zhong family's ancestral hall is particularly magnificent and grand, and we have never seen it. Can we really be there when the ancestral hall is opened that day?"

"Can."

The Zhong family's ancestral hall is not easily shown to the public, but...

On that day, the successor of the Zhong family will be announced and written on the genealogy in the ancestral hall. In the next few decades, he will control everything in the Zhong family, which also means that Old Lady Zhong will completely give up the power in her hands.

He is old enough.

The Zhong family had to support two more generations of useless descendants because Zhong Lingxiao's father, Zhong Hongfei, was such a good-for-nothing who 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 already good enough among the younger generation.

Minor flaws can be ignored.

Old Mrs. Zhong is too old to wait any longer and can no longer train heirs for Zhong Lingxiao and Zhong Yi.

In fact, Zhong Yi is very good, but it's a pity that she is willing to give everything for that country girl. He is really afraid that one day the Huo family will say that they want to take the position of the first family in the imperial capital, and Zhong Yi will generously give it up.

As an illegitimate child, Zhong Yi has resentment towards the Zhong family.

Very subtle.

But the old lady saw it.

If he gets to the top, he won't be too kind to other members of the Zhong family!

Being cruel is actually a good quality!

But Old Mrs. Zhong is old and can'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 letter to come to the Zhong family's ninth day banquet. If your relatives and friends want, I can also give them."

“That’s great!”

"Brother Zhong, I think with you here, the Zhong family will definitely get better and better!"

"Yeah, it's nothing to like that illegitimate child!"

"He is no match for you. Even Miss Lu has abandoned him. Netizens say he is a scumbag and unworthy of being the young master of the first family. Some people even call for him to be expelled from the Zhong family."

Zhong Lingxiao felt very comfortable listening to these compliments.

"Save the good things 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 said casually: "Open the ancestral hall to burn incense, worship the ancestors and then announce the successor. After that, there will be a celebration banquet. There is nothing special to pay attention to. You can all watch, but our ancestors of the Zhong family only accept incense from our family members."

"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 is pregnant with 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 don't care about her identity."

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 and said with disdain, "She is my legitimate wife, so she is eligible to make incense."

Sooner or later he will divorce this boring woman.

…

Time flies by very fast.

Soon it was the ninth day of the lunar new year.
