Chapter 367: You say it like that, right? You just wait for me! (Seeking subscription

~8 min read 1,474 words

This sentence also shows that Pan Chengwu's intensity is actually not high; Li Chen always starts at two hours.

A mature woman like Wei Lu knows what her husband is thinking, so she pulled a long face and said: "You are no longer a child; there are some things you need to know the importance of. Only by maintaining my best state can I complete our plan."

Never mind ten minutes, Wei Lu was too lazy to waste even one minute on Pan Chengwu.

But she spoke so righteously that even Pan Chengwu found it hard to continue.

Wouldn't this make him look like a child who couldn't see the situation clearly?

Afraid of being looked down upon by his wife, Pan Chengwu immediately apologized, saying he was momentarily possessed by a ghost.

He constantly comforted himself inwardly: Do not be in a hurry for a moment; the days ahead are long.

It's just that Wei Lu was indeed plump and alluring, making Pan Chengwu uncomfortable whenever he saw her, but he still chose to endure.

There were quite a few people like him, all in the Wei Fu.

Women like Wei Lu and Han Fengxian, without exception, all wanted to leave their best side for Li Chen.

Only Wei Manping was honestly recording the number of times, estimating the time of Li Chen's downfall.

She thought to herself, Li Chen is only rampant for now; in a while, it will be his doomsday.

Soon, a week had passed, and Li Chen sighed that Shanghe City was a wonderful place; every time he came, he had different experiences.

He didn't know why, but he always felt these women were inexplicably well-matched with him, as if there were some inexplicable attraction.

Lin Mo actually knew this point too; he also cultivated the mental cultivation method of the previous dynasty's remnants. He also felt Wei Manying was very attractive, also because of the cultivation method.

The difference was that Li Chen indeed didn't need to pay any price to use them for free.

Lin Mo worked like an ox and a horse, but could only watch.

The fortune in misfortune was that Lin Mo was busy with official business this time and didn't come to the Wei family; otherwise, history would repeat itself.

Most people in Shanghe City didn't know about the Wei Fu's affairs, but there were still some well-informed merchant families who found out.

The new head of the Zhang family, Zhang Wanshui, heard this news and sighed: "In the past, I was jealous of the Wei family's development speed, thinking what kind of dog-shit luck they had to be able to hitch a ride on the Ministry of Works' carriage and cooperate with Imperial Consort Jiang. Now I know, there is a reason the Wei family develops so fast; they can even endure this."

Zhang Wanshui was the younger brother of the former Shanghe City Chamber of Commerce president, Zhang Wanshan. Zhang Wanshan previously wanted to annex the Jiang family in Shanghe City, but at that time he happened to run into Li Chen, this iron plate, which caused his status to plummet and he even became a prisoner.

The prefect of the Zhang family, Zhang Zhishan, performed well at the time, and after Jiang Rong became the president, she didn't deliberately suppress the Zhang family, which allowed the Zhang family to preserve itself and gain a foothold in Shanghe City.

Now they were just living off their past glory; it was too hard to turn things around.

"Isn't that so? If it were me, I really couldn't do this."

The new head of the Sun family, Sun Youcai, was also a person who hit a wall at the time, and now he was also living very miserably.

"Forget it, even if you could do it, don't let your fat wife scare the Emperor."

"Get lost, your vision is too low. My two daughters are very beautiful. If His Majesty needs them, I can marry a few more wives for him to choose from."

"Will your wife agree? With you being so henpecked."

"At a time like this, do you think my wife would dare not agree?"

Sun Youcai's sentence left Zhang Wanshui stunned; it seemed to be the logic.

However, where to find beauties of the Wei family's level, and how to send them to His Majesty, this was the difficult problem.

It wasn't that if you wanted to send them, you could send them to His Majesty's mouth.

This was the problem that troubled thousands of merchant family heads, but Pan Chengwu could solve it.

On the evening of the seventh day, when Pan Chengwu's wife, Wei Lu, was preparing to complete her daily task, he said: "Wife, His Majesty is at the Jiang Fu every day; isn't it quite boring?"

Wei Lu said with a guarded expression: "What do you mean?"

Pan Chengwu explained: "His Majesty is also a man. If he is always in one place, he will soon lose his sense of freshness. Our Shanghe City has so many scenic spots; you can appropriately take His Majesty to other places; perhaps there will be different feelings."

This sentence actually reminded Wei Lu. His Majesty was very young and indeed liked freshness. Just like Wei Lianhan, she was a cultivator and knew many talents, and had been deeply loved by His Majesty recently.

That little slut Han Fengxian was the same, liking to tell His Majesty some stories to make him happy.

She herself was miserable, always working hard to change tricks to please His Majesty.

It would be better to follow her husband's words and take His Majesty to different places; perhaps there would be stimulating feelings.

If Pan Chengwu knew his wife thought this way, he would definitely say: That's not what I meant!

As he spoke, Pan Chengwu indicated that their Wei Fu was also not bad; why not invite His Majesty to the Wei Fu for dinner or something.

Just as he said this, Wei Lu immediately replied: "I advise you not to have any crooked thoughts; His Majesty is not an ordinary person."

The way she was anxious seemed as if she were very worried about Li Chen being in danger.

Pan Chengwu thought his wife was worried about him, so he explained: "Rest assured, only if we show that we have needs for His Majesty will the payment seem natural. Giving blindly without asking for a return, wouldn't that seem somewhat deliberate?"

His words were reasonable, and Wei Lu also felt it was the case.

"Fine, I will first discuss it with Manping. If she agrees, I will talk to His Majesty."

Hearing that her husband didn't want to harm His Majesty, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Perhaps she herself hadn't noticed this point.

Because Wei Manying was not in Shanghe City, all the big and small affairs of the Wei family in Shanghe City were decided by her younger sister, Wei Manping. If she agreed, it would be fine.

Wei Lu's status was very high, but that was only higher than others; she couldn't compare to the two Wei sisters.

Leaving the room, Wei Lu told Wei Manping about the matter.

Wei Manping pondered for a moment and felt there was a certain logic to it, saying: "Judging by the logic of merchant families, payment must be for a return. This is a point that even big sister ignored. Your husband is indeed right to say so."

But there was one point Wei Manping couldn't understand, and that was what Pan Chengwu was aiming for by doing this?

However, the Sage Realm was not so easy to kill, and he must be clear about that, so he probably wouldn't act recklessly.

At noon on the eighth day, the others of the Wei family received notice that Li Chen was coming to the Wei family.

The nominal head of the family, Wei Mingde, personally organized the banquet and cooperated with the inspections of some of the palace entourage to ensure that no unpleasant things happened while His Majesty was dining here.

Seeing Wei Mingde's calm appearance, Pan Chengwu sneered inwardly: Just keep pretending; let's see how calm you can be in a moment.

The merchant families who heard the news also very much wanted to join this banquet. These family heads, one by one, promised some benefits to the Wei family, just begging the Wei family to give them a chance.

These family heads also let their beautiful wives and daughters dress up, preparing to take the Wei family's route.

As a result, the Wei family refused them all, especially the female relatives of the Wei family, who refused so decisively.

We don't have enough to share, and you still come to grab?
