What’s the other story?
That’s whether it’s worthwhile for the
Cheng’s to try to coax Cheng Biyuan into returning!
Everybody understood the reasoning
behind it.
After his words, nobody uttered
anything. Everybody had silently agreed with him!
The two with the highest seniority still
hadn’t said anything and nobody could tell what were their thoughts.
Silently, everything looked down at
their toes.
Nobody knew how much time had passed
before the Cheng’s head of household casted a glance over at the first elder.
Slowly, he said, “I say, there’s no need for us to make a move for now. There
are plenty of others out there who are more eager to find out than us. Once
they have found that out, we’d find out about it too!”
“Master, would that be too late by
then?” Fourth elder asked softly.
“Too late? Hrm!” Laughed the Cheng’s
head of household. “It could never be too late. That bastard boy, he has our
blood running in his veins to the day he dies!”
The simple sentence was enough to make
everybody sensed his ruthlessness and heartlessness. At the same time, he had
clearly conveyed to everybody there that, for the rest of Cheng Biyuan’s life,
he would never be able to escape his fate of being under the control of the
Cheng’s.
Unfortunately, back at this day and age,
everybody talked about filial obedience; everybody wanted to be attached to
one’s filial roots; everybody focused heavily on their bloodline. These were
the rules used to bind many individuals.
The family could determine a younger
generation’s life. If the family chose to single out certain individual, surely
they have their reasons.
Cheng Biyuan would not be able to change
this fact!
Right then, the first elder, who has
been resting with his eyes closed finally opened his eyes, and nonchalantly
said, “Let’s proceed following the opinion of the master of the house!”
“Yes, First Elder!” With that, all the
elders stood and bowed to him.
First elder nodded and disappeared in a
flash.
Everybody was already used to that.
The Cheng’s master of the house rose as
well, and said toward everyone there, “Fellow Elders, let’s dismiss. If we hear
anything else, we will notify everyone!”
The fellow elders nodded and dispersed.
The eleventh elder was the last to
leave. A look at the living room, he couldn’t help but reminisced the day when Cheng Biyuan’s fate was determined for
the first time. He let out a silent sigh.
His slightly strayed to the inscribed sign
hanging above. The forceful characters said, “Hall of Justice and Honesty”.
Justice? Honesty? Eleventh elder repeated that to himself in his mind, an
ironic smile appeared on his face.

No way could the Cheng’s actions live up
to that. If anything, they were bringing shame to the sign.
A little while later, he turned and left.
The Gu’s at the city of Yan.
The Gu’s was one of the top three most
powerful families in the city of Yan. Other than the Luo’s, it would have to be
the Gu’s. The other one was a relatively weaker family.
Inside the Gu’s resident!
Inside an exquisite and luxurious
courtyard, sat the Gu’s young master Gu Gaoyi and his wife Yan Qingqing in the
second living room.
Both of them were very attractive
individuals. Gu Gaoyi exudes a commanding feel, and Yan Qingqing classy and
elegant. They were the most talked about couple within the Gu’s.
“Ye,
look at your. What is it that you couldn’t share with me?” nagged the
dissatisfied Mrs. Gu.
“It’s not that I can’t share, I just
don’t know where to even begin!” sighing, Gu Gaoyi looked at his wife helplessly
and said in a soft tone.
Hearing this, Mrs. Gu was even more
unhappy. Bluntly, she said, “Say it however you want. Am I an outsider? Making
you feel so troubled sharing something with me?”
“Of course not!” Gu Gaoyi didn’t know
how to react to that, helplessly he shook his head,”Qingqing, you remember
Cheng Biyuan from the Cheng’s in Emperor City?”
