CHAPTER XLIII
The days are long in the summer, and even then, the nights fall.
In the dead of night, there was only the language of summer insects, Tang Xiaojiu was lying on the bed, and Di Fanyin made a bunk next to the bed. Of course, with the cultivation of two people, it's okay if you don't sleep.
"Tuk-tuk." Three short, soft knocks rang out suddenly.
Tang Xiaojiu sat up from the bed and kicked Di Fanyin's arm, "You go and open it." β
Di Fanyin decisively got up from the ground, put the bedding on the ground into the storage ring, and smiled at Tang Xiaojiu, "I'll go, I'll go." β
However, as soon as he opened the door, Shangguan Jiao, who was frightened by his frozen expression, was too tired! "Did I go to the wrong room?" Shangguan Jiao asked suspiciously.
"No, come in." In a commanding tone, Shangguan Jiao just tugged at the corners of her mouth, "Heh, you and Tang Xiaojiu haven't changed at all from the hated look ten years ago." β
"Look at you, you're a lot sleeker than you were ten years ago. However, the nature of the country is easy to change. Tang Xiaojiu heard Shangguan Jiao's comment, and he didn't save face at all.
As they spoke, the two of them had already walked to the center of the room and sat down at the round table. Shangguan Jiao poured herself a cup of tea from the cold tea on the table without restraint at all, "Of course it has to be tactful, the Shangguan family has been bloody and bloody in the past ten years," and then she raised her eyebrows and added: "Of course, it can't compare to the storm set off by the Demon Palace." β
"I heard that, you came to me tonight about the Demon Temple. So? Tang Xiaojiu stared at Shangguan Jiao, and the once domineering eldest lady on the opposite side faded away from her flamboyant aura, leaving behind a faint smile and an incomprehensible mind.
"So, how about I ask the Demon Lord to do me a favor?" Shangguan Jiao picked up the teacup, looked at Tang Xiaojiu's eyes, and saluted.
"Business? You should look for Luocha, he takes care of this. Tang Xiaojiu blinked and looked away.
"I know, but I also know a word from the Demon Lord, and the Demon Palace still dares to disobey?" Shangguan Jiao chuckled, "Even more than the one beside you, for so many years, the name of the Demon Palace Emperor is comparable to that of the King of Hades, Shangguan's family is not good, the talents are withering, and the Demon Palace is full of talents, naturally the little woman is in difficulty, and would rather come to find the Demon Lord!" β
Di Fanyin sneered, "I don't know if Shangguan Jiao is talented, but Miss Shangguan is not afraid of the emperor who is comparable to the king of Hades, Miss Shangguan is talent." "It's sarcasm between the lines.
"The emperor laughed, after all, the little woman is two untalented people who were saved by 'laborious' ten years ago, and of course she has admiration for the two." Shangguan Jiao didn't seem to hear Di Fanyin's sarcasm.
Di Fanyin and Shangguan Jiao went back and forth, and Tang Xiaojiu didn't put his mind on it at all.
It wasn't until Di Fanyin finally snorted and didn't want to pay attention to Shangguan Jiao that she spoke, "I remember that the current person in power in the Shangguan family is your uncle?" β
Shangguan Jiao's face darkened, "En." So far, I won't hide it from you. She let out a long sigh from her nose, "Ten years ago, the Shangguan family was involved in the War of the Ten Kingdoms, and in the end, all the Ten Kingdoms were annexed by the barbarians, of course, these are all the credit of the Demon Palace," she glanced at Tang Xiaojiu, but the people did not look embarrassed at all, and then turned her gaze back and looked at the cup in her hand.
"The Shangguan family's power has suffered most of the loss, and the elder group has seriously questioned my father's leadership, and my father has fallen ill. At this time, my uncle, Shangguan Hai, the eldest son who had been kicked out by the Shangguan family, came back, and brought back the business support of the Gong family, and decided to cooperate with the Shangguan family to operate the Shanling Mine, which simply saved the life of the Shangguan family. β
Of course, his ambitions don't stop there. Without my father's permission, he made an agreement with the Gong family to marry me into the Gong family, so as to obtain the mining rights of the Yushan Spirit Mine. β
She put down her cup, "My father simply regarded him as a savior, and treated him as a guest. It's just that how can pie fall from the sky. When the Gong family came to the door to propose, my father also knew the truth of the matter. I cried and shouted not to marry into the palace family, and I didn't know my so-called fiancΓ©, how could I want to marry him? However, if the Shangguan family did not agree to this family business, the Gong family would completely hit the Shangguan family, and the father was in a dilemma, and he fell ill all of a sudden, but he did not make a decision. However, how could the elders make my father deny this family business, they forced my father to pass on the position of head of the family to Shangguan Hai on the grounds of the incompetence of the head of the family, and my father was useless because of this matter. β
She said calmly, "I decided to take this marriage because I wanted to avenge my father. Then she looked at Tang Xiaojiu, "It's just that when I saw you in the evening, I knew that my opportunity had come, I didn't have to take revenge after marrying into the palace family, I only needed to pay some money to make Shangguan Hai's life worse than death." Her eyes shimmered, and a smile tugged at the corner of her lips, as if she had seen something beautiful.
"After the matter is completed, you can take as much property as you want from the Shangguan family, and I can guarantee that no one will stop me, because before my father died, the head of the family, Yuxi, gave it to me. Although the wealth of the Shangguan family after the war is not as good as before, in the past ten years, Shangguan Hai's painstaking management will not be less. Hehe, I really want to see Shangguan Hai's expression when he sees the money he worked so hard to earn being betrayed, it must be very **! β
"I'll take over your business." One life, all the property of the Xiuzhen family, this business is quite interesting.
"Refreshing! But as a client, I also have to remind you that Shangguan Hai doesn't know what evil skills he practiced outside, he is immortal ......" (to be continued.) )
