Chapter 6: Good Things Come in Pairs

I just want to see if the deck of cards he brought with him can truly deliver!

The relaxed atmosphere that had just emerged in the hall vanished in an instant, leaving no trace behind

Zheng Ming scratched his head, thinking that even if it was Zheng Heng who said it, this matter was somewhat unpleasant to hear. After all, he had just brought home a wife yesterday, and today another maid had come to offer herself.

Is this the wife you picked up from the street? Why do I feel... feel that you are not worthy of her?" Zheng Heng stammered to this point, noticing Zheng Ming's slightly changed expression, and hurriedly explained: "What I mean is, her age is a bit too old, not suitable for you, my brother!"

Come to the mansion to serve oneself? Alas, Zheng Ming still understands the meaning of this service

Although he had just scolded her, Zheng Ming, still filled with righteous indignation, couldn't help but chuckle upon seeing Fu Yuqing's expression: "If you want to understand this sentence, you must stand in front of others and shout it out loud. Only then will you grasp its true meaning!"

It seems that this matter is somewhat complicated

Zheng Ming's feelings of brotherhood towards his elder brother were instantly shattered by these words. He couldn't help but say: "Elder brother, although you are my elder brother, there are two points to keep in mind: first, do not call me 'Second Brother'; second, I was really immersed in the story at that time, too deeply engaged!"

"To hell with considering the family!" Zheng Heng said with immense restraint in his eyes, "These bastards, under the pretense of thinking for the family, all act so sanctimoniously, looking like righteous gentlemen. When they launched a surprise attack on Hu Pao Zhai, why was there not a single person who went to raid the camp!"

Nonsense

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiaoduo's tears began to fall in streams. This gentle woman then knelt down softly and said: "When my mother sent me here, I already knew that I was not worthy of the Second Young Master."

However, seeing the servant's somewhat smiling yet ambiguous expression, Zheng Ming felt that his head was a little bit heavy

Under the joint pressure of the Great Elder, the Third Elder, and the Fourth Elder, the Patriarch actually said... said that for the future of the family, in order to have one more core descendant, he should prioritize the overall situation and consider the family!

At that time, Zheng Heng entered the family hall together with Zheng Gongxuan. Reflecting on the situation back then, he trembled all over.

Zheng Ming was taken aback for a moment, wondering who in Luming Town was looking for him. Could it be one of his little friends?

"Son of a dog!" At that moment, a voice that was not too loud, yet clear and pleasant, rang out in the courtyard

Compared to Zheng Ming, his elder brother Zheng Heng is only slightly knowledgeable, but even that is sufficient. He glanced up and down at Zheng Ming and then said with a hint of a smile: "Second brother has truly grown up!"

Otherwise, for the sake of the family, let the father give that quota to the third grandson of the elder, saying... saying that the family cannot stand by and watch limited resources being wasted

Zheng Ming and Zheng Heng both looked up at the same time and saw Fu Yuqing, dressed in a long white robe, standing gracefully at the door like a swaying lotus flower, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes

Hmph, there will come a day when this account will be settled with them

The flowers are beautiful, and the people are even more beautiful

This sound suddenly shattered the picturesque scene into pieces! Even Li Xiaoduo, who was following behind Zheng Ming, was so astonished that she covered her small mouth, unable to believe that what she heard was real

Ultimately, due to the father's insistence, the clan leader, with the authority of the family head, made a decision stating that as long as the younger brother could withstand three moves from the third grandson of the elder, he would be allowed to enter the Blood Pool

Zheng Heng was taken aback; although he had been a brother for over ten years, he still found himself somewhat unaccustomed to the way this younger brother spoke

Zheng Ming also tapped his own head, realizing that his earlier remarks had directly led this noble and imposing woman into a predicament

From the appearance of Zheng Gongxuan, it is likely that Fu Yuqing's background is not ordinary; otherwise, Zheng Gongxuan would not look this way.

Who says that honest people lack cleverness? Zheng Ming looked at his brother's fearful expression, and it was clear to him what he was thinking!

After all, he has successfully activated the card in his heart now!

The third grandson is named Zheng Jintang, he is about your age, and his cultivation level is approximately just entering the twelfth rank. Damn it, this fellow is quite favored by his grandfather, but this time in their branch, there is an older brother who is much stronger than him

Although the Grand Elder dotes on him, he will not grant him the quota, after all, his brother Zheng Jinbin's cultivation has already reached the eleventh rank

How is the cultivation of the three grandsons?" Zheng Ming's lips tightened even further

However, Zheng Ming is not a person who is indecisive. Looking at that helpless and adorable petite figure kneeling there in distress, he hesitated for a moment and then helped Li Xiaoduo up, saying: "Come with me!"

However, he now feels that he has hope

Now that the camp has been stolen, they have begun to think about the rewards that their father fought for with his life, they... they...

"Second brother, you need not worry too much. Father said that if you feel lacking in confidence for this competition, we can simply concede defeat," Zheng Heng said softly, offering comfort as he observed Zheng Ming's silence.

Did father agree to exchange with them? Ultimately, Zheng Ming still brought the topic back to the matter of Bixuetang.

A small flower blooming quietly in a place devoid of human presence.

"Second brother, I think you should take the lead on this matter. As for mother, I will speak to her on your behalf," Zheng Heng said as he quickly slipped out the door.

Although Fu Yuqing is not particularly astute about worldly matters, she is not foolish; she understands very well that Zheng Ming is mocking her

When facing the swift blade of Shen Keli, why did they remain silent? Shen Keli's ten fatal strikes did not land upon them, yet at this moment, they speak of family loyalty!

However, having experienced his brother's way of speaking time and again, he also felt that speaking in a brotherly manner was truly refreshing

Seeing his brother's somewhat dazed and absent-minded gaze, Zheng Ming couldn't help but boast, "Brother, I forgot to introduce you, this is my wife!"

The mother of the servant said, since the second young master likes Xiaoduo, let me enter the residence to serve the second young master. As Xiaoduo spoke, she carefully bowed to Zheng Ming.

If she were to be outright rejected, it is likely that this woman would have no future

Naturally, there would be no agreement, and even... even Father has slammed the table with the Third Elder who came to discuss this matter! At this point, Zheng Heng said, clenching his fists tightly: "In the end, this matter escalated to the clan leader!"

It is just that in Xiao Duo's heart, she is very willing to stay by your side, Second Young Master. Truly... it is really just to be by your side!

In his two lifetimes as a person, his psychological age is far more mature than his actual age. How could he not perceive the genuine affection expressed in the words of this woman

Fu Yuqing cast a casual glance at Zheng Heng, and her gaze quickly fell on Zheng Ming. With a slight furrow of her brow, she remarked, "This statement is completely meaningless; why are you all laughing so heartily?"

Zheng Ming looked at the trace of ferocity on his brother's face, feeling increasingly aware of the importance of this family. Just as he was about to speak, he heard someone running over and saying: "Second Young Master, someone is looking for you"

Looking at the woman with tear-filled eyes, Zheng Ming felt a pang of turmoil in his heart

Unlike the coarse voices of the two brothers, this voice is crisp and pleasant. Although the words spoken are profane insults, they resonate in the ears of others with an extraordinarily delightful quality

What a grandiose excuse; why was it not mentioned when people were urged to strive with all their might!

Grow up your head

Her full name should be Li Xiaoduo, the woman whom Uncle Zheng Ming intended to forcibly take for his own purposes, and who was casually rescued by Zheng Ming today at the market, bringing him two thousand prestige points.

The entire family, except for the second elder who stood up to speak a word of justice, leaned towards the eldest elder. After all, the strength of the eldest elder within the family is not something that their branch can compare to

He no longer paid any attention to Zheng Ming and walked away as if he were an immortal.

Twelfth Rank, Zheng Ming gently clenched his fist. In the past, he would have had no confidence in countering the next three moves of a Twelfth Rank martial artist.

In just a short while, the servant brought the person looking for Zheng Ming upstairs. If Fu Yuqing represented nobility and elegance, making one hesitant to look directly at her, then this woman was like a little flower that instinctively evoked a sense of pity in others

"What are you here for?" Zheng Ming looked at Li Xiaoduo, who stood in the hall with her head bowed and a submissive demeanor, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say. The girl's appearance caught him off guard.

At this moment, Zheng Heng began to sweat, and a certain scenario emerged in his mind: this beautiful, dignified, and serene woman, while being gazed at with admiration by everyone, suddenly uttered such a statement.

Upon seeing Zheng Ming approaching, Engineer Zheng Xuan pointed at Zheng Ming with his hand, seemingly wanting to speak but finding it difficult to articulate his thoughts. Ultimately, all his words condensed into a simple: "You... you..." before he quickly made his exit

Biting his lip tightly, he refrained from uttering any profanity again; he intended to make those people pay the price through his actions

Zheng Heng knew that Zheng Ming was merely speaking without intent, and with a smile, he patted his head and fell silent.

Zheng Heng was completely stunned upon seeing Fu Yuqing. For a moment, he felt a bit at a loss.

Shaking his head, Zheng Ming led Li Xiaoduo into Fu Yuqing's courtyard, where Fu Yuqing was standing in the yard, gazing at a tree full of vibrant red plum blossoms

For the first time, he felt that his younger brother was truly a bit annoying

At present, he snorted and said: "As for Sister Xiaoyue, don't even think about getting me to speak well of you again"

Zheng Ming arrived at the small courtyard where Fu Yuqing had been placed. As he entered the courtyard, he saw his father walking out with a look of panic on his face.

Zheng Ming could imagine the situation that Zheng Gongxuan was facing at that time. In that moment, his heart, which had just calmed down a bit, surged once again with turmoil. This intense anger was evidently contagious, amplifying the situation and transforming Zheng Heng's embarrassment, which he was too ashamed to speak of, into a profound sense of indignation within Zheng Ming, who felt deeply wronged
