Chapter 356: Ouyang Tian’s Choice
Recently, the Pei family had been making a big move. Even Pei Li could feel the difference in the atmosphere. With Ouyang Le’s help in the dark, Pei Li finally knew that the Ouyang family was preparing to make a move. The time was set for the National Day in two months.
Pei Li did not think that this move was too rushed. It was not too early to make a move. Furthermore, through Ouyang Le, Pei Li began to know something about the Ouyang family that he did not know before.
Perhaps he was not the only one who did not know. Perhaps even Ouyang Jincheng might not know. Ouyang Le’s intelligence was also fully displayed at this moment. To Pei Li, having an extremely intelligent and capable woman to help him wholeheartedly… This was simply too good.
Moreover, this woman was extremely magnanimous. She was completely like the mistress of the house. She could tolerate people, but also knew how to use people well. When she knew of Shen Xiaoxiao’s existence, she did not make a fuss. She even told Pei Li that she was willing to accompany her for one day… To accompany Shen Xiaoxiao for two days.
These two women were actually so carefree. Pei Li felt that he seemed to be living the life of an emperor ahead of time. It was simply too good.
…
“Are we returning to the country tomorrow? My bones are already weak from lying down.”
When Shen Xiaoxiao heard the strict arrangements, she almost jumped up. She really wanted to return to the country. She had been out for a long time and had seen those white people, black people, yellow hair, and blue eyes. She really missed her country too much.
It would be great to be able to return to her country.
It had been two months since her last injury, and it was already September. There was still one more month before the Ouyang family would take action, so it was just right for her to return to her country at this time.
Moreover, her stomach had been there for more than six months. Although it was ridiculously big, her movements were still quite agile. Her stomach was stable, and her body had almost recovered. It was understandable if she wanted to go back.
“Don’t be happy too early. Even if you’re in the country, it’s best if you don’t go out. We’ll talk about it in another month. Why don’t we stay abroad for another month?”
Yan Kuan looked at Shen Xiaoxiao’s excited look and deliberately spoke out to discourage her. He liked to see her angry look.
“What do you mean? Don’t tell me you want to meet Liu Yufei?”
“Hahaha, little vinegar jar, that Liu Yufei is about the same age as you. The news just came that Pei Li has confirmed that the child in Liu Yufei’s stomach is a boy. Not only was he excited, he even felt that he was going to raise the child under his own name after it was born.”
“Ah? It can’t be? He’s not afraid of you? But this child might really be his.”
“Afraid of me? The Ouyang family nowadays is like cooking oil in a fire. They are becoming more and more active. Their att.i.tude toward the outside world is not as cautious as before. Just this point alone, the Ouyang family will definitely lose.”
“Has the higher-ups collected the evidence?”
“Yes, they have already collected it. Some of the unimportant people from the branches have already been caught. Those who have not been caught have already been closely monitored. They are just waiting for the Ouyang family to launch what he called a ‘plot to usurp the throne’ on National Day.”
“How is he going to launch it?” Shen Xiaoxiao was quite curious about this. The National Day was heavily guarded. It wouldn’t be so easy for them to launch a coup, would it?
“How are they going to launch it? Of course, it’ll be at the National Banquet. Aren’t they afraid of losing face abroad?”
“The Ouyang family has a private army?”
“It’s not just the army. Have you forgotten that they still have death warriors?”
Hearing Yan Kuan’s words, Shen Xiaoxiao did not speak for a long time. She could even foresee how a family would be destroyed, and how many people and high officials would die without a burial place in this battle.
“It’s too crazy…”
“Yeah, it’s too crazy!”
Yan Kuan also had thoughts in his heart. He did not only want the Ouyang family to be destroyed, but he also wanted the one in the Forbidden Area of the Ouyang family. He wanted to know whether that person was alive or dead.
…
“Father, I still feel that it is a little too radical to act in such a hurry.”
Ouyang Tian looked at Ouyang Jincheng, who had already reached this stage, and was still timid. He sighed helplessly. If the matter was successful and the country was stable, that would be fine. However, with the change of the emperor, it would take at least a few years to settle down. With Ouyang Jincheng’s personality, he was not a good candidate to succeed.
“Eldest Son, things have already reached this stage. Do you think there is still a possibility of regressing? We are already at the end of our rope.”
Although Ouyang Jincheng knew that his dissuasion would not be effective, he still felt that it was too early to act. It was just that his father trusted the words of the man in black too much. In his eyes, many things were not mature. The person above was still young… The young man wanted the other leaders of China to be more courageous and domineering.
Looking at his methods of punis.h.i.+ng those corrupt officials, he felt that his father had underestimated that person too much. However, his father was not willing to listen to his words at all. He felt that he was a stickler for the rules and would not even be able to defend the city.
Although Ouyang Jincheng did things cautiously to defend the city, he was not stupid. In fact, he even felt that he saw things clearer than everyone else.
His father used to be so shrewd, but now he was becoming more and more timid.
“Father, I think it’s better not to listen to the black-clothed man. I think that the black-clothed man’s background is a little strange.”
Ouyang Tian glanced at Ouyang Jincheng. This matter could only be told to the next head of the Ouyang family, but now it seemed that Ouyang Jincheng could not take up the position of the next head of the Ouyang family or even the ‘Emperor’. Therefore, he was considering whether to tell Ouyang Jincheng about this matter. After weighing the pros and cons, he still felt that after some time, he would examine it again.
“You don’t have to worry about it. I am very clear about the background of the man in black, and there won’t be any problems. If you have time, you should educate your three sons more. I heard that the second son came back at midnight yesterday and even took two small celebrities out yesterday. Let me tell you, let your wife control the Ouyang family to death. During this period of time, absolutely nothing can happen.”
Ouyang Jincheng looked at Ouyang Tian’s arrangements and felt extremely aggrieved. d.a.m.n it, did he think he was really stupid? That he couldn’t even understand the meaning of these words? It was clear that he didn’t want him to interfere. Perhaps his father’s heart had already begun to waver in his decision to become the next head of the family.
But, hmph, it was already too late. He already knew about his father’s body. He wouldn’t be able to endure for more than a few years. If this matter was successful, he would be the number one person in China, and he would definitely take that position.
When necessary… He did not oppose the idea of cleaning up the emperor’s side. When the time came, don’t blame him for being ruthless!
“Yes, Father. I know. I will definitely take good care of those unfilial sons. However, the eldest son is already old. I don’t know if Father has prepared a suitable marriage candidate for the eldest son? After all, he is the eldest son of the third generation of our Ouyang family.”
Ouyang Jincheng originally did not have any other thoughts when he said this. However, now that he had said it, he wanted to see if Ouyang Tian would arrange for a ‘woman’ to be prepared for his son. If he did… Maybe Ouyang Tian still valued the big house, but if he didn’t arrange it, then he really understood.
