Just as the Shangguan family finalized their solution.
The Murong family mansion was also brightly lit, and the patriarch, Murong Xiong, was also having trouble sleeping.
My son just came back and told him about Shangguan Wenyue.
Now that Laozi is seriously ill, it is a crucial time to compete for the position of family head. If we can form an alliance with the Shangguan family, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.
Conversely, if he were to become the enemy of the Shangguan family, or if the other party were to side with the Tantai family, it would be a great disadvantage for him.
Although he was the eldest son of the Murong family and the president of the Chunfeng Chamber of Commerce, in reality, the shares were controlled by his father.
Even if his father dies, he will not be the first in line to inherit the throne because he is an illegitimate child!
The first in line is his niece, Murong Heshu.
In addition, most of the elders of the Murong family sided with Murong Heshu.
The Murong family, as relatives of the emperor, did not place much importance on bloodline.
Because of the ancient martial arts bloodline, whether it is maternal or paternal, there is a chance of reversion to one's ancestral lineage, and the probability of reversion is even greater for the maternal lineage than for the paternal lineage.
As for the surname, it's just a symbol; Murong Heshu could easily find a son-in-law to live with him.
Therefore, he has no advantage over his niece.
The plan tonight to bring Murong Heshu and Shangguan Wenyue together was proposed by his son, Murong Heshuo, and he also thought it was feasible.
If things were to become a fait accompli, and Murong Heshu were sent to the Shangguan family as a daughter-in-law, then everyone would be happy, and his position as heir would be secure.
But now, the plan has failed. His son reports that Shangguan Wenyue slept with Murong Heshu but left without admitting it.
Once Murong Heshu wakes up tomorrow, he will definitely confront his uncle and demand an explanation, and may even hold a family meeting to impeach him.
Although he is currently in charge, he has absolutely no advantage at the clan meeting.
Thinking about these things made him very worried, and he couldn't sleep well.
Murong Heshuo, standing to the side, had a ferocious expression. After struggling internally for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, Murong Heshu will definitely hold a clan meeting tomorrow to attack us. It will be very difficult for us to get the support of those old fogies! Murong Heshu will also definitely take this opportunity to put pressure on us, and even snatch the acting position from you. If that happens, once Grandpa breathes his last, we will have no chance at all, and can only wait to die! If you ask me, let's go all the way!"
"You mean... you killed Murong Heshu?" Murong Xiong asked, his eyes flashing.
Murong Heshuo nodded. "Of his two personal grandmasters, one is not in Shanghai, and the other has been bribed by us. This is our only chance. If we wait for the other grandmaster to return, it will be much more difficult for us to kill her!"
Murong Xiong hesitated for a moment, "This girl is cunning. Who knows if she has any backup plans? If we fail, do you know what we men will face!"
Murong Heshuo clenched his fists tightly. If they were truly at their wits' end, they would be no match for Murong Heshu, because at the level of Grandmaster, the father and son were at a disadvantage.
As long as the old man is still alive, they cannot use the guest retainers in the family. Murong Heshu, on the other hand, is favored by the old man and has been protected by a grandmaster since childhood. Moreover, she has also recruited many extraordinary people.
"Dad, stop thinking about it! It's either her or us now. If we keep thinking about it, we won't have another chance. Let's take a gamble!" Murong Heshuo said urgently.
Murong Xiong clenched his fists tightly, and finally nodded. "In some matters, you are more decisive than I, your father! Just as you said, this is a matter of life and death, and we can't delay any longer!"
He took a deep breath and said, "Take our secretly trained 800 elite soldiers and head to the Emperor Hotel. Also, Master Wu is our last hurdle. Please ask him to help us. In the future, I will give him 10% of the profits from the Spring Breeze Chamber of Commerce!"
Murong Heshuo nodded excitedly, "Dad, don't worry, that old dog Wu loves money the most. He has already helped us once, and he will definitely help us this time too!"
...
Emperor Hotel.
On a luxurious large bed.
Murong Heshu swirled his wine glass, gazing up at the moonlight, wide awake.
The sheer gauze nightgown perfectly showcases her beautiful figure.
She raised her toes high, admiring her beautiful legs.
It's absolutely perfect; even she finds it tempting.
She really couldn't understand how this blockhead surnamed Lin could remain completely unmoved.
Is it possible to sever all emotions and desires after achieving sainthood in martial arts?
well!
Murong Heshu suddenly felt a pang of self-pity.
She, a noble lady from a powerful family with a long history of martial arts, couldn't even get a man.
Deep down, she longs for love.
Because they had experienced too much indifference and ruthlessness within the ancient martial arts families.
Some people, after experiencing all of this, are no longer disturbed.
But some people crave sincerity and passion even more.
Because they knew it was hard-won.
Murong Heshu was the latter.
She longed to be loved because her parents died when she was young, and her grandfather was particularly strict in his teachings.
Her entire life seemed to be adrift in a storm, like a lone boat adrift on the waves.
It's inevitable to feel a bit tired and want a warm harbor to lean on.
However, there aren't many safe havens that make her feel at ease. Because women admire strength, if you can't be stronger than her, she'll look down on you.
But how many men in this world can match her intelligence and status?
She sipped her bitter red wine, then couldn't help but smack her lips. "What can relieve my sorrow? Only Lin Yu!"
"You surnamed Lin, I'm going to take you on! If you want to use me, you'd better submit to me first. Otherwise, why should I risk my life for you?"
Knock knock!
Just then, a knock came at the door. Murong Heshu instinctively reached under the pillow and asked coldly.
"who?"
A voice came from outside the door, "Young Miss, it's me, Old Wu!"
"Old Wu?"
Murong Heshu's lips curled into a slight, cold smile. "You asked me for leave before, saying you had something come up and would be gone for two days. How come you're back so soon?"
"It's so late, let's talk about it tomorrow!"
There was no reply from outside the door, but Murong Heshu clearly sensed a faint killing intent emanating from them.
