Chapter 380 - Hair
Chapter 380: Hair
Shen Xiaoxiao felt very uncomfortable when she saw Pei Li’s arrogant look. However, Yan Kuan clearly understood her very well. He said to Shen Xiaoxiao, “What are you worried about? The higher you climb, the harder you fall. It’s impossible for him to hold his position steadily. Someone will wake up in a while.”
Shen Xiaoxiao was stunned. Ouyang Tian had woken up? However, there was so much commotion outside. Why didn’t Ouyang Tian come out to take a look? Could it be that he really had a stroke? Was it very serious?
“Why didn’t he come out? Could it be that he really had a stroke?”
Yan Kuan’s laughter was unfathomable. He could only be heard saying:
“Ouyang Tian is a person with deep thoughts. Perhaps from the very beginning, he wanted to see if this big house could hold the position of the family head. However, he didn’t expect Pei Li to move so quickly, and almost half of the Ouyang family’s people were captured. Now, Ouyang Tian has no choice but to change his strategy. Just wait. Ouyang Tian will definitely not let a person he cannot control take over the Ouyang family. Even if Ouyang Tian is paralyzed now, he will still capture a puppet. And clearly, Pei Li is too young. He can be a pioneer, but he is a king. He is not someone that Ouyang Tian values.”
“Then who does Ouyang Tian value the position of the family head of the Ouyang family? It’s neither the big house nor Pei Li. Is Ouyang Tian crazy?”
“Crazy? That person is not crazy. He is just daydreaming and wants to live forever.”
The more Shen Xiaoxiao heard, the more surprised she became. She did not even understand what Yan Kuan was talking about. Why did Yan Kuan seem to know a lot of things after disappearing for a day?
“Did you know something? Why are you being so mysterious?”
Yan Kuan smiled and rubbed Shen Xiaoxiao’s belly. “Don’t be anxious. I’ll tell you slowly when we get back. Soon, there will be a good show to watch. Ouyang Tian’s orders should be announced soon.”
After Yan Kuan finished speaking, the Inner Courtyard was once again filled with people. Everyone had just heard the elder’s announcement, so the people who had placed the treasure on Pei Li were naturally happy. However, there were also some people who were neutral who wanted to see what kind of trouble the big house, which had been tyrannizing the Ouyang family for so many years, would cause.
Huo Wanting was already at her wit’s end. Regardless of which side it was, they had already lost. They could fight it out with the outside forces, but for the sake of the Ouyang family’s long-lasting legacy… Two months ago, the old man had already gathered all the forces in everyone’s hands and issued an order. During the critical period, everything in the Ouyang family would be personally sent by the old man, and the seal of the family head would be used.
This kind of power gathering was also something that made everyone in the Ouyang family jealous. That was why after Ouyang Tian fell, so many people couldn’t wait to get the position of family head.
Ouyang Jincheng’s face was filled with hatred. He was the one who should get the position the most, but now, he actually let a junior steal his position. Thinking about it, it was really cowardly. If it was two months ago, who would dare to behave atrociously in front of him? If it wasn’t for the Old Master’s orders, how could he have fallen to such a state?
Initially, he thought that after the matter was done, he would be the heir to that position. He didn’t expect that this vile spawn would actually win over the hearts of the people. He really deserved to die.
“The Old Master is awake, the Old Master is awake…”
Once these words were said, other than the people from the main branch, perhaps no one else had a good expression on their faces. The smile on Pei Li’s face was also instantly fixed. This awakening was too inappropriate. Even if it was half an hour later, it would still be good if the people dispersed… At that time, his position would be confirmed. However, the elder had just said a few words. How did he wake up?
Huo Wanting was overjoyed. She directly pushed Ouyang Jincheng, who was in a daze. Ouyang Jincheng immediately reacted and strode into Ouyang Tian’s bedroom. At this time, no one dared to stop him. They even felt that the situation might really turn around. It was also possible that the Old Master would stand on the side of the main house.
The other houses entered the room. Of course, this elder was no exception. The women were still standing outside the door. However, after these people entered, An Ning walked out. Her face no longer had the fear and uneasiness from before. She even looked down at these people with a proud expression. At this moment, everyone’s gaze towards An Ning was no longer filled with disdain and contempt. Some of them even revealed an extremely fearful expression.
An Ning looked at everyone’s expressions. Finally, she gracefully walked to Huo Wanting’s side and said to her, “Congratulations, Mother.”
With just these two words, Huo Wanting was overjoyed. She had never thought that An Ning would have such a cute side. However, this could also be considered as an act of surrender by An Ning. Huo Wanting immediately understood. She immediately went forward to hold An Ning’s hand affectionately and said, “Good child, thank you for your hard work. Is your grandfather alright?”
“Grandfather has woken up, but he is not in good spirits. However, Grandfather said that Father and Brother Li will have to work hard in the future.”
Huo Wanting did not expect this result, but this was much better than the previous result. At least the big house could interfere in the Ouyang family’s affairs and not be completely ignored by others.
Sure enough, in less than half an hour, everyone walked out. Ouyang Jincheng still had a trace of a smile on his face. At this moment, Huo Wanting saw that Ouyang Jincheng was holding a tray in his hand. Inside it was really a family seal. There were two family seals in total… The two could be combined into one to exercise power, but Pei Li didn’t have anything in his hands. Huo Wanting knew that it was just that the old man didn’t want to give up all the power. He wanted to use his obedient eldest son as a puppet.
It turned out that this husband was a little stupid, but there were also some benefits to being stupid. It was funny that this Pei Li only received the title of assistance after working all night. It was really an eye-opener for the heavens.
…
The Ouyang family’s farce slowly dispersed. Yan Kuan supported Shen Xiaoxiao as they slowly walked along the garden path behind them. If one ignored the thousand-year-old decay of the Ouyang family, this place was actually like an ancient park. It was very pleasing to the eye.
After they returned to the villa, Yan Kuan was finally in the mood to tell Shen Xiaoxiao about what had happened after his disappearance.
The few strands of hair that Yan Kuan had found in the crystal coffin had been taken down for testing. The report had already come out. Yan Kuan looked at the report and did not say anything for a long time. Shen Xiaoxiao was very worried. She looked at him and asked, “But what’s wrong with that hair? It’s not Ouyang Jinling’s?”
Yan Kuan sighed and said helplessly, “No, it’s hers. According to the growth time of this hair, it should have fallen off a day ago. There’s no one in the crystal coffin. I think that maybe even Ouyang Tian doesn’t know that Ouyang Jinling has already woken up. I’m afraid that only Ouyang Jinling herself knows why she’s pretending and what she’s pretending to be.”
“Are you sure that this belongs to Ouyang Jinling and not someone else?”
“Not only did the guards in the Forbidden Area say that, there’s another point. Other than the members of the Ouyang family, no one else is allowed to enter. There’s only one Ouyang Jinling, and that clone is still in Ouyang Tian’s own room.”
“Then how is it possible for Ouyang Jinling to run away in the heavily guarded Forbidden Area?”
Yan Kuan thought of the dark room he had fallen into. He thought for a moment and said to Shen Xiaoxiao, “The dark room. She might have run away by the dark room!”
