Chapter 370: Fighting
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The courtyard, which used to be s.p.a.cious, was now filled with people. Even the elders, who rarely showed themselves, were now waiting in the middle of the courtyard.
Layers upon layers of Ouyang descendants stood in the middle of the courtyard, according to seniority and intimacy.
This was the first time Ouyang Tian had fainted from a serious illness in so many years. No one knew what was going on inside. Huo Wanting glanced at An Ning in the two rows of women standing behind her, and the corners of her lips could not help but curve up. A stroke? It was probably not that simple. It was more like a sudden wind, but even if he was saved, the old man’s body had already collapsed by more than half.
Look at An Ning’s small face. She was so scared that she was really pale. However, she could not blame anyone else. The old man had fainted when she was with him, and only the two of them knew the details.
In fact, Huo Wanting’s guess was right. Ouyang Tian had indeed met with an accident when he was still in An Ning. The night before, when the Ouyang family had met with an accident, Ouyang Tian hadn’t slept at all. The next day, when the newlyweds entered the house, even if he didn’t have to do anything, he was still the head of the clan. The one who got married was also the eldest son of his eldest son, so he had to step in for both reason and favor.
Moreover, almost all the relatives in the family had come. They would have to do something in less than half a month. Ouyang Tian had to be energetic to deal with these things.
If it was in the past, his body would be fine no matter how many nights he stayed up. But now, it was not his illusion. He also found that since he was with Ning’er, his body was getting worse every day.
In the past, he had also enjoyed women with Suoyin flower, but there was no such problem. Was it really because Ning’er was too old and had Suoyin flower?
The records clearly said that it would not consume a man. How could there be a problem with his body?
After staying up for a day and a night, he had just laid down when An Ning came over. It was probably true. The last time he had been with An Ning was at least a week ago.
Recently, he had been with that fake Ling’er. He had not expected to neglect An Ning. Originally, he had not been very interested, but when he thought about the Suoyin flower on An Ning’s body, he felt that if he did not touch her for more than seven days, she would suffer greatly. Thinking about it, he took some pills and some tonic soup and started to play with her.
The process was supposed to be very good, but at the last moment, just as he released it, Ouyang Tian felt a chill all over his body. An aura entered his head, and then he did not know anything.
An Ning’s body, which hadn’t been relieved yet, suddenly felt heavy. Ouyang Tian was pressing down on her body, waking her up. An Ning screamed in fear. If she hadn’t screamed… Perhaps it wouldn’t have been known so quickly.
When the butler came over, the old man’s thing hadn’t subsided yet. It was swollen and purple. It didn’t just look like an instant wind. There was something wrong with his lower body.
As the clan leader’s family doctor, he lived directly behind the main courtyard. He only needed to make a call and the person would immediately come over.
Although it had only been a few minutes, the sound of An Ning’s voice was so loud. Someone had already seen the family doctor arrive. The butler had no choice but to announce to the public that the old man had fainted. However, the family doctor was no longer a loyal person. As long as he released some news, the people outside would know that the old man had suffered a stroke.
The butler could not do anything about it. The news had spread too quickly. An Ning’s cry had first attracted the servants outside, and then him. Therefore, no one knew where the news had come from.
Now, there were people on all three levels outside. When An Ning hurriedly tidied up her clothes and went out, many people saw that something was wrong with her. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her lips were even more swollen and red. Everyone present was smart. Her legs were still trembling. With one look, it was obvious that she had been enjoyed by others.
It was said that An Ning was deeply loved by the Old Master. They had also guessed in private, but only after seeing it did they realize what was going on.
An Ning had long known that others would definitely look at her with unkind eyes, but now she couldn’t care less. The most important thing now was the Old Master’s health. She couldn’t let anything happen to him. If anything happened to him, she would be finished.
“Fourth Sister, is the old man’s illness serious?”
The one who asked Ouyang Ning was the eldest daughter of the third wife. She was already married, but she did not expect that she would rush back so soon after the old man’s accident. Moreover, she asked her this question like this, as well as the looks of the people watching the show, it seemed that everyone knew about her relations.h.i.+p with the old man.
“Second Sister, you really asked the wrong person. I just went in to take a look. Grandfather is still unconscious. As for the specific situation, we will only know when the family doctor comes out.”
Ouyang Jing looked at An Ning meaningfully before continuing, “Oh, is that so? So that’s how it is. Sigh, I thought that among us grandchildren, Grandfather dotes on you the most. I thought that you must know something. It seems that we will only know when the family doctor comes out.”
Ouyang Jing emphasized the words ‘grandchildren’ and ‘doting’. People with bad intentions would naturally be able to understand what she meant. Of course, An Ning was no exception. However, at this moment, she acted as if nothing had happened and only pretended not to know anything. She stood there and did not respond to Ouyang Jing’s words.
Ouyang Jing saw that An Ning was ignoring her. She glanced at the people beside her and tactfully took a step back. The elders were all around, but this was definitely not the time to cause trouble. Although she could not see An Ning clearly, as long as the old man did not die… In the entire Ouyang family, no one dared to be disrespectful to An Ning. Perhaps An Ning herself had thought of this before committing herself to the old man. Otherwise, it would be strange if a normal girl did not feel disgusted by accompanying an old man.
Pei Li stood on the other side. The men and the women were standing separately. He glanced at Ouyang Le and saw Ouyang Le secretly giving him a look. He instantly understood that the Old Master was not ideal.
In fact, the few elders of the Ouyang family were the most anxious at this moment. They knew clearly what the Ouyang family was about to do. As the Grand Elder of the Ouyang family, if things were to succeed in the future, they would definitely be the the rulers. To the Ouyang family, which had been rotten for thousands of years, this temptation was too great.
Therefore, all of them were extremely supportive of Ouyang Tian’s ambition. There were still 15 days until the completion of the matter. It had only been half a month. If something happened to the Old Master now, then who could take over the matters that had been fully arranged?
Cancel it?
How could this be possible? The Ouyang family had been preparing for decades, especially now that every position was well-prepared. They were only waiting for the right moment to act. How could they give up halfway at this time?
However, Ouyang Tian’s situation was unclear. A stroke could be big or small. It seemed that no matter whether Ouyang Tian was good or not, it was necessary to choose a special representative to temporarily replace Ouyang Tian. Fortunately, the Ouyang family also stipulated that… All orders issued to the outside world were based on the family head medal. Just like the imperial seal of the ancient Emperor, Ouyang Tian also had one.
Therefore, seeing that these people were all waiting here anxiously for no reason, in fact, everyone had already made arrangements in secret.. As long as they took this temporary position, then the position of the next family head would be secure.
