Chapter 4170 The Old Predecessor of the w.a.n.g Family
As soon as the voice fell, he glared at the two guards standing to the side and asked, “Tell me the truth. Is it really what he said? If you lie to me again, I’ll break your legs!”
The two Zeng Family guards were shocked and quickly knelt down: “Yes, yes, it was the Young Master who instructed us to say that. We…we just…”
“Idiots!” He was furious and kicked the two men in the chest, knocking them over.
“Brother Zeng, it’s good that we’ve cleared the air. It’s not a big deal. Let’s forget it! I won’t hold it against the children either.” Patriarch w.a.n.g said with a smile.
Patriarch Zeng turned his face black and bowed his head in greeting. “I will go home and teach my rebellious son a lesson. I’m sorry to have disturbed you today. I’ll be going now!” He said, grabbed his son by the arm and walked out.
w.a.n.g Yu looked at him, shook his head and sighed, saying, “If Patriarch Zeng doesn’t change his hot-tempered personality, it’s estimated that he will bring disaster to the Zeng Family at some point. He didn’t even ask about the matter clearly before coming directly to the door. How come there is no one in the Zeng Family? How can someone be the head of the family? Aren’t you afraid of ruining the Zeng Family?”
The Patriarch of the w.a.n.g Family grabbed his ear and said, “Do you still care about other people’s family affairs? Can’t you give me a little less trouble for just one day?”
“Ouch! It hurts! Father, let go of me! I’m not a child. It’s embarra.s.sing for you to pull my ears like that.” He said, half-bent over and breathing heavily.
“You know it’s embarra.s.sing? Do you know that since your grandfather’s strength has declined, our w.a.n.g Family’s status among the eight great families has gradually declined. Otherwise, do you think that the He family would have come directly to ask about this trivial matter without asking for anything in return?
The Patriarch of the w.a.n.g Family snorted, let go of his ear, and looked at him in a pitiful state, saying with a sigh, “I wanted you to marry the third Miss Ruan to strengthen our w.a.n.g Family’s position, but now the marriage has fallen through. Do you know that everyone in the city is laughing at our w.a.n.g Family?”
w.a.n.g Yu rubbed his ear that was being pulled and said indifferently, “Father, she doesn’t like me today, and she won’t like me tomorrow. You don’t have to worry about it. Besides, I’ll tell you, I met a woman outside today, and this woman…” He was interrupted before he finished his sentence.
“That’s enough. I don’t want to hear any more nonsense from you. You’re all covered in dirt. Go and wash up and put some medicine on it!” He shook his head, looked helpless, and walked out of the room.
“Father, I haven’t finished talking yet! Why did you ask me to leave?” He shouted, and when he saw that his father was not stopping, he smiled and followed him out of the house without paying much attention. As he walked, he said, “Tell someone to prepare some food and send it to the courtyard.”
After was.h.i.+ng, applying medicine, and eating, he sat in the courtyard for a while, then got up and walked to the back of the house.
When he arrived at a cave dwelling on the back of the mountain, he put away his slovenly appearance and called out with respect as he saluted with both hands: “Grandfather, Yu’er is here to see you.”
“Come in!” An old voice came from within.
w.a.n.g Yu outside heard this and then replied, stepping inside. Inside, the cave dwelling had only a simple stone table and a stone bed, but the walls were illuminated by a night pearl, and the light was as bright as day. Moreover, the spiritual energy here was more abundant than outside.
“Why are you looking for me?” The old man sitting cross-legged on the stone bed opened his eyes and looked at him.
