You Cannot Afford To Offend My Woman

Chapter 1235 (Family Secrets)

"Is this Donghuang Ci planning to take the position of the family head?" Ye Hua curiously asked.

Donghuang Fei shook his head, "You're mistaken. Donghuang Ci cares deeply for Donghuang Ji Shang; it should be affection."

Ye Hua couldn't help but imagine the scene of one old man doting on another old man; it was truly an awkward image that he didn't want to witness.

"So, Donghuang Ci is the backing for Donghuang Ji Shang?" Ye Hua inquired.

Donghuang Fei shook his head, "You're wrong again. On the contrary, the clan master doesn't pay much attention to his uncle."

"Oh? Is there such a situation?" Ye Hua was curious; this uncle adoring his nephew, but the nephew ignoring the uncle, was indeed a strange scenario.

"In such a big family, things are quite chaotic. We, as subordinates, shouldn't be too nosy, you know?" Donghuang Fei seemed to understand, and Ye Hua could relate.

Ye Hua could sense that his subordinates were quite nosy; even when he had arguments with his wife, they knew. Could he trust them?

"Can you arrange for us to meet him?" Ye Hua asked calmly.

"Yes, you can be her subordinate. After all, you understand..." Donghuang Fei hesitated for a moment and continued, "...the situation."

Ye Hua nodded; for now, let's be subordinates to the Empress. He wanted to attend the gathering of young talents and explore more about the Donghuang family.

"Alright, I'll make arrangements. Rest here tonight, and tomorrow morning, I'll take you to the Golden Summit," Donghuang Fei said.!

Ye Hua sighed in relief, stood up, and walked towards Donghuang Baizhi. He embraced his Empress from behind, asking softly, "What's wrong? Still overthinking things?"

Donghuang Baizhi seemed burdened, "Ye Hua, do you think I'm just a product of power struggles?"

"No, you are my creation," Ye Hua replied.

Donghuang Baizhi sighed, "Ye Hua, are you always this comforting?"

"Baizhi, your perspective is wrong. You are an independent individual, regardless of your origin. Look at Lie Gu and others; their births might not be glorious, but that doesn't hinder our happy life. So, what you're thinking now is unnecessary," Ye Hua explained.

Donghuang Baizhi felt Ye Hua's words made some sense but still seemed a bit twisted.

"What if I'm truly an illegitimate child? Would you despise me?" Donghuang Baizhi turned to look at Ye Hua, looking distressed.

Ye Hua sighed lightly, "Since the day I tricked you into bed, I haven't despised you."

Donghuang Baizhi: "..."

"Can't you comfort me properly? Annoying~" Donghuang Baizhi said irritably. She decided it was better not to let Ye Hua console her; he might end up infuriating her.

Ye Hua chuckled, "See, you're smiling."

"..."

"I won't talk to you for a minute." Donghuang Baizhi snorted, then walked into the nearby flowers and plants, her expression turning serious again.

Ye Hua sighed helplessly, glanced at Qing Xu, and noticed that this guy had become much more docile, which was a good thing.

Now, resolving Baizhi's issues and luring Wei Chang's master out would wrap things up.

Golden Summit.

This was the highest temple of the Donghuang family, a place all disciples aspired to visit.

However, entering the Golden Summit wasn't easy; it required layers of selection. But those who emerged from the Golden Summit held key positions, dedicating their entire lives to the Donghuang family.

It sounded a bit brainwashing-like.

Okay, it was indeed brainwashing, and the higher the level, the more intense the brainwashing.

Just look at Donghuang Fei and Donghuang Qingrou; they were completely brainwashed. They readily accepted all kinds of gossip and even surrendered subconsciously, knowing they couldn't win.

They did have some self-awareness.

The Golden Summit was the highest, and from here, one could seemingly observe outer space. It was genuinely beautiful at night.

In reality, it was the tall summit where the family head resided, offering a breathtaking view. From here, the entire Donghuang family and the mysterious vast universe could be seen.

Being the family head was indeed enjoyable.

At the top of the summit, on a circular platform, two figures sat facing each other at a small table.

Upon a closer look, one of them was Donghuang Ji Shang, and the other was the previous character, Jiang Wuyu, the head of the Jiang family.

"I say, Ji Shang, I'm leaving. Why are you still holding me back?" Jiang Wuyu, drinking wine, showed no intention of leaving. It seemed like he had gotten a good deal and was making the most of it.

Donghuang Ji Shang sipped his wine, his brow slightly furrowed, gazing at the stars.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"What's wrong? You heard some news just now, and suddenly you're silent." Jiang Wuyu curiously asked. A black-clad person had appeared just now, whispered a few words to Donghuang Ji Shang, and he felt awkward eavesdropping on another family's matter.

Donghuang Ji Shang chuckled, looking somewhat helpless and bitter.

"I was caught off guard by this news," Donghuang Ji Shang said in a low voice.

"Need me to give you some advice?"

"No use, no advice will work." Donghuang Ji Shang said in a low voice, sounding peculiar, arousing even more curiosity in Jiang Wuyu.

So, Jiang Wuyu teased, "Could it be that your illegitimate daughter came looking for you?"

Donghuang Ji Shang paused for a moment, then replied, "I've lived my entire life without children; how could I have an illegitimate daughter? You're overthinking it."

"Then why are you so troubled?"

"It's related to my elder brother."

Jiang Wuyu became serious and asked in a low voice, "How is it related to your elder brother?"

"I competed with my elder brother for the position of family head in the past, you should know that," Donghuang Ji Shang explained.

"Yes, there are rumours that you cuckold your elder brother. Is there any truth to that? It seems that no matter how powerful someone is, the gossip in their hearts never dies," Jiang Wuyu said, revealing the inherent curiosity.

Donghuang Ji Shang looked at Jiang Wuyu with a sideways glance, "You also know it's just a rumour. Can you believe it?"

"Well then, what really happened? Why did your elder brother disappear?" Jiang Wuyu had already been hooked by this high-level secret, one of the highest mysteries in the Nine Provinces and Five Seas.

Donghuang Ji Shang said casually, "He's dead."

"I knew it! You must have killed him, then seized his wife. You're quite a pervert," Jiang Wuyu exclaimed.

"Can we have a civilised conversation?"

"Just kidding, don't be so tense." Jiang Wuyu took a sip of his wine.

"As for how he died, I can't tell you. It involves important matters of the family." Donghuang Ji Shang said solemnly.

Jiang Wuyu could understand.

"Actually, your elder brother, Donghuang Shen Yi, was a genius. It's a pity you got him killed. The struggle for the position of family head is truly terrifying." Jiang Wuyu sighed. The position of family head was a seat stained with the blood of siblings.
