Chapter 16: The Four Great Families in the Capital

After everyone came out of the ancestral hall, Elder Chu stepped forward and hooked his arm around Elder Situ's shoulder, despite his tired body. "I heard that your waiter Yidong went on a long journey before the Spring Festival was over? I also heard that he seemed to have gone to Liuzhou Prefecture?"

Situ Changhu glared and twisted his body to try to shake off Chu Lao's arm that was hooked on his shoulder. It was obvious that all the time they had spent together since they were wearing open-crotch pants had not been in vain, because not only did he fail to shake it off, he was hooked even tighter, and the roads in front and behind were quickly blocked.

"Old Situ, you'd better explain this matter clearly!" The old Emperor Wang, who had retreated to the second line, stood in front of him, and was determined to explain it clearly.

"Old Man Situ, what do you mean? We haven't even met my dear granddaughter yet!" Old Man Feng, who was blocking behind him, asked angrily.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Elder Situ's momentum was lost, and he instantly turned into a docile little cat and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that Xiaoxiang'er will be in danger, so I let my idle and wandering boy go to explore the way, so as to prevent those ignorant people from disturbing Xiaoxiang'er, right?"

"Humph, that sounds nice, but do you think we don't know what you are planning?" How come Situ Laoer, who usually only grows in body but not in brain, let him take the lead this time? Chu Lao spat at him in anger.

"No matter how many cunning tricks you have, you have to get past me!" Wang Huang jumped up and down, his finger almost pointing at Elder Situ's nose.

"That's right, you have to get past us too! I'll teach you a lesson for being so petty!" Old Feng was so angry that he raised his leg to kick Elder Situ's butt. The current head of the Feng family was so scared that he quickly went forward and hugged his father. If these four people started fighting at the gate of the street, it would be a big event that shocked the capital.

"You useless little bastard, you look quite smart usually, but where is your brain now? Ah!" Old Feng started cursing as he looked at his son in his arms.

The other two elders, Chu and Wang Huang, who had reacted, also remembered their son who had not done anything, and turned around and started to criticize him. "It is better to let my friend die than to let me die." If I didn't do it well, it was someone else's fault. This time it was all my son's fault!

The four elders who returned home that day each took their own head of the family and conspired in the study for a long time. By the way, they also weighed their own direct descendants inside and out, and finally the candidate was called into the study.

In the imperial palace of Haoyue Capital, the Emperor Wang and the current Emperor, who was Meixiang's grandfather and father, were staring at each other.

"What are you looking at, you little bastard?" Wang Huang glared at the emperor again in annoyance.

"Dad, you can't vent your anger on me, right? You know how worried I have been during this period. How could I care about other things?" The emperor gave his father a helpless smile.

"Alas, it's the same for everyone. I haven't slept well for several nights. I feel uneasy." Wang Huang also knew that he couldn't blame his son for this. If he had to blame someone, he should blame old Situ for pretending to be a big-tailed wolf too realistically.

Wang Huang suppressed his rage, looked at his son who was deep in thought and asked, "After this, I guess the other two families will send people over soon. What are your plans?"

"I believe in my daughter. Since God has placed our trust in her, we have to believe that she can handle it well.

"Well, if it's people from the four major families who go there, it's not a big deal. But if someone else smells the scent and goes over, it will be troublesome. Are there still three middle-class people around the queen?"

"For the time being, yes. I've been afraid that too many people would cause conspicuousness and would be counterproductive, so I haven't sent more people." Upon hearing this, the emperor wanted to slap himself a few times. How could he have forgotten such an important thing?

"Your son, select some people right away and have them ride there as fast as they can." The emperor shouted anxiously, calling for people to come in.

"Why are you so impatient? Why are you still so impatient after all these years?"

"One is to assign more staff, and the other is to buy more property for them in Liuzhou Prefecture. Xiang'er will soon be ten years old, so I will take some money from my private treasury to pick out some toys that the little girl likes, as a birthday gift from me. I have wronged them all these years. Alas!"

"Your Majesty, Li'er is here to bring you your favorite snacks. May I come in?" Suddenly, a delicate female voice came from outside the door.

When the emperor heard this voice, goose bumps instantly covered his body. He yelled in annoyance to the outsiders: "Get lost!"

"Your Majesty, it's Li'er!" the person continued to call out, panting.

"Get lost! Don't let me say it for the third time!"

It finally got quiet outside the door. Wang Huang opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing. Well, let the younger generation solve their own problems. As an elder, it is better for him not to interfere.

At the same time, in the study room of the Feng family's old house, Old Man Feng, the Feng family head, and Feng Yizheng, the eldest son and grandson of the Feng family, were also discussing this matter.

"Old man Situ, you are very smart this time. You caught us off guard." Old Patriarch Feng also snorted angrily.

"Zhen'er, make arrangements to leave as soon as possible. As long as the foundation of the Feng family is not shaken, Xiang'er will take care of everything else." Patriarch Feng looked at his eldest grandson's tall figure and felt a little proud. What if the second son of Situ Lao'er's family left early? His own grandson was even more outstanding.

"Father, this...will my second and third brothers have any objections?" asked the head of the Feng family worriedly.

"Well, if they have any opinions, just keep them to themselves! It's decided now. How can I, as a father, harm them?" Thinking of his other two sons, Patriarch Feng became even more furious.

"Grandfather, what if my aunt asks about the palace..." When it comes to matters concerning the palace, Feng Yizheng is really undecided.

Elder Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "If your aunt or cousin asks, you should tell the truth. It is better to be prepared than to be caught off guard. It is unreasonable for people in our Feng family to suffer and swallow their grievances! When the time comes, just follow your aunt's instructions. I will write a secret letter later, and you must hand it to your aunt in person."

"Yes, grandfather."

"Okay, go down and be ready to leave at any time." Elder Feng thought for a moment and called his eldest grandson who was about to go out. "By the way, except for your mother, there is no need to say more about other people."

"Well, yes, Grandfather."

The same scene was played out in the study rooms of the Chu and Situ families. Unlike the other three families who were all furious, the study room of the Situ family was full of joy. If the other three old men saw the smug face of the old head of the Situ family, they would probably start using swords, guns, sticks and clubs again.

As Liu Meixiang successfully survived the ordeal, the evil spirits that had been hiding in the dark could no longer hold back and jumped out to seek a sense of existence.
