The son-in-law of the first wealthy family

Although Shangguan Mingchen has three children, the youngest son Shangguan Xin is the one he loves the most.

Hearing that this matter was instigated by him, he frowned and asked his cronies to call Shangguan Xin over.

This confidant had been with Shangguan Xin for many years, without saying anything, he turned around and went to find Shangguan Xin, but when he came to Shangguan Xin's yard, he found that Shangguan Xin was not there, thought for a while, then turned and went to another yard.

Compared with Shangguan Xin's courtyard, this courtyard is obviously much dilapidated, and the person who lives here is none other than Shangguan Mingchen's eldest son, Shangguan Jin.

As soon as he came outside the courtyard, his cronies heard the noise in the courtyard, and when they went in, they found that it was Shangguan Xin who was making trouble for Shangguan Jin again.

For such things, this cronies have long been familiar with.

Shangguan Jin was the child of Shangguan Mingchen's ex-wife. Shangguan Mingchen's ex-wife died of dystocia when she gave birth to Shangguan Ling. Afterwards, Shangguan Mingchen married another elder's daughter, and Shangguan Xin was born.

Ever since Shangguan Xin was born, the brothers and sisters of Shangguan Jin had been neglected, and after Shangguan Xin became sensible, it became Shangguan Xin's pleasure to bully the two brothers and sisters.

But no matter what, Shangguan Jin is also the eldest son of Shangguan Mingchen, whether it is appearance or talent, he is above Shangguan Xin, and he is also supported by a group of Shangguan Jin's grandfather's subordinates.

So even if Shangguan Xin wanted to bully Shangguan Jin, he didn't dare to do too much, but he often vented his anger on the people around Shangguan Jin, which resulted in almost no one around Shangguan Jin.

At this time, Shangguan Xin was accusing him, saying that the boy next to Shangguan Jin was disrespectful to him, and wanted Shangguan Jin to hand him over to him, but Shangguan Jin disagreed, and then a quarrel broke out.

After the cronies went in, they saw Shangguan Jin standing in front of the people, stopping Shangguan Xin's people and not allowing them to touch the kid, and the cronies knew that Shangguan Jin picked it up from outside, there was no problem, it was just an ordinary people only.

In such a family of cultivators, it is very difficult for an ordinary person to survive, and this person was able to survive because of Shangguan Jin's protection.

But he was also the only one around Shangguan Jin, perhaps because of this, Shangguan Jin protected him very tightly.

Shangguan Xin stood opposite Shangguan Jin with a look of anger.

"Shangguan Jin, even if you can protect this person for a while, can you protect him forever? One day, this kid will fall into my hands!"

Shangguan Jin looked indifferently, looked at Shangguan Xin without saying a word, did not even respond, but his attitude did not soften at all, he still stood in front, not allowing anyone to touch the boy.

Shangguan Xin was very angry when he saw Shangguan Jin's appearance, but he knew that he could not touch Shangguan Jin now, otherwise the Shangguan family would be in chaos.

The confidant glanced at the situation, then walked in front of Shangguan Xin, and whispered: "The patriarch wants to see you, he already knows that you have sent someone to drive away the Xiao family."

Hearing this, Shangguan Xin couldn't help frowning slightly, but he didn't take it seriously. He raised his head and snorted at Shangguan Jin, then turned and left.

As soon as Shangguan Xin left, his minions also left, and soon the courtyard returned to its former calm.

And after Shangguan Xin left, the boy who was hiding behind Shangguan Jin with a face of fear before suddenly straightened up, walked in front of Shangguan Jin, glanced at the group of people walking away from the yard, and turned to look at Shangguan Jin .

"Are you going to continue to endure like this?"

Shangguan Jin didn't make a sound, and after a while he said softly: "This is Shangguan's house, my name is Shangguan Jin."

Hearing this, the kid couldn't help sighing softly, both Shangguan Jin and other places are good, and they are all a bit foolish, but it is estimated that he will not think so in a long time.

But Shangguan Xin followed his mood to the front hall and went in alone.

In the lobby, the guards were still kneeling there, only Shangguan Mingchen was there, and no one else was there.

Seeing this situation, Shangguan Xin immediately felt more relieved, and with a smile on his face, he stepped forward to greet Shangguan Mingchen.

Seeing Shangguan Xin like this, Shangguan Mingchen sighed slightly in his heart, with a rare seriousness on his face.

"Xin'er, why do you want people to drive away the people from the Xiao family?"

Seeing Shangguan Mingchen's rare serious expression, Shangguan Xin changed his mind and said, "Father, I just didn't want to cause trouble for our Shangguan family."

In fact, both Shangguan Mingchen and Shangguan Xin knew why Shangguan Xin drove away the Xiao family. Shangguan Mingchen just wanted Shangguan Xin to find a reasonable explanation, and Shangguan Xin naturally understood this.

"Tell me what's going on."

"Father, the Xiao family is in decline now. There must be a lot of people staring at the fat of the Xiao family. If we accept the Xiao family at this time, it will be the same as stealing other people's fat, and it will inevitably attract resentment.

And the current Xiao family is actually not very valuable. Originally, Xiao Xuanren was not bad, but after being hit by Mu Sheng several times, in my opinion, it may be difficult to stand out, so we accept their words, and the income The interests are not too troublesome, which is not conducive to my Shangguan family. "

What Shangguan Xin said was high-sounding, and he specially used Xiao Xuanren to say it. In fact, Shangguan Mingchen knew very well that the reason why Shangguan Xin made people humiliate the Xiao family was because of Xiao Xuanren's relationship.

Xiao Xuanren is also the proud son of heaven, his talent is still very good, and he also has some contacts with the younger generation in their Holy Land.

But the one who has the best relationship with Xiao Xuanren is none other than Shangguan Jin, and this is the reason why Shangguan Xin dislikes Xiao Xuanren.

Another point is that if the Shangguan family accepts the Xiao family, then the person supported by the Xiao family is likely to be Shangguan Jin instead of Shangguan Xin, which is very unfavorable to Shangguan Xin.

Shangguan Mingchen thought about it for a while. Although Shangguan Xin's words could not shut up everyone's mouths at all, they could barely make sense, so he nodded, and then remembered that his cronies said that he found Shangguan Xin in Shangguan Jinyuan. Then he opened his mouth and said.

"Be quiet recently, don't provoke your eldest brother, the Xiao family has now taken refuge in Xiahou's family and has become a subsidiary of Xiahou's family, and this Xiahou's family may surpass my Shangguan's family."

Hearing Shangguan Mingchen's words, Shangguan Xin was a little unconvinced, but he also knew that he did not do well in the matter of the Xiao family.

Originally, the strengths of the Shangguan family and the Xiahou family were not much different, and the Shangguan family was a little stronger than the Xiahou family. Only in this way could they surpass the Xiahou family and become the third-ranked family in the Holy Land.

But now that an ancestor died in the Shangguan family, the strength has been reduced a little, and the Xiao family has joined the Xiahou family at this time, so now the strength of the Xiahou family has surpassed that of the Shangguan family.
