Chapter 546: A big gamble

Views:

At this time, the four members of the Peng family looked at each other in a solemn atmosphere.

Mr. Peng, Peng Chunli, looked at his youngest son and asked, "Have you thought it through?"

"Yes, I've thought about it." Peng Fangming said with determination, "When we decided to embark on this journey, there was no turning back. No matter who that person is, his position is the same as ours. I have been observing him these days. He has a set plan for his actions. His subordinates are very capable and abide by the rules. From this point of view, at least they are not the kind of people who will do anything to get what they want. They can't be that bad if they have a bottom line. Besides, our Peng family is a good family."

The youngest son, who was as unruly as a wild horse, could now say such words. In the past, Peng Chunli would never have dared to imagine that the most ignorant one in the family would suddenly come to his senses and think about the family.

He has been observing for the past two months. Just as Fang Ming said, the other party is not the kind of person who regards human life as worthless. They act in accordance with rules and regulations. He even wonders if they are from a military camp. As far as he knows, even in the military, there may not be people who are so disciplined.

No matter what, the arrow has been shot and there is no turning back. They have no way back. Hopefully, this step will not destroy the family's foundation for generations.

Peng Chunli looked at his eldest son Peng Fangyu and said, "You should pay more attention to Zhu Ling in the government office. I always feel that his good days are coming to an end."

"Yes, Dad."

"Fang Jie, when you're out having fun, find a chance to keep an eye on Zeng Xiangyan, keep your mouth shut, and don't say anything you shouldn't."

"Dad, don't worry. How could I not know this?" Peng Fangjie glanced at his younger brother. He was under a lot of pressure because his brother, who had gone crazy with him, had suddenly made progress.

Peng Chunli was indeed confident about his second son. He also grew up at the same age and knew very well that a group of children from aristocratic families together were not completely useless.

"You guys go out first, Fang Ming stay for a while."

Peng Fangyu had a complicated expression. It wasn't that he felt aggrieved, but he felt pressured just like Peng Fangjie.

After a moment of silence, Peng Fangming said, "Dad, don't worry. That man is not the kind of person who would destroy his bridges after crossing them. If I didn't know this, I wouldn't dare to cooperate with him."

"That's not what Dad is worried about." Peng Chunli sighed, "These local tyrants in Jinyang are not easy to deal with. Even if he is a dragon from another river, he may not be able to subdue them. But if what he is planning succeeds, most of the families in Jinyang City will be involved. In the future, my Peng family will have to take a step forward. Those who accomplish great things should have this courage. You have done a good job in this regard, but you still need to prepare the necessary backup plans."

Peng Chunli looked at his youngest son, who was now completely different from before, and felt relieved even though he felt like a mountain was pressing down on his heart. If he won this bet, the Peng family would make huge profits.

"This afternoon, I have asked Wang Luo to quietly send the younger generation away from home, so that even if something unexpected happens, they won't be wiped out all at once."

Peng Fangming, who had been away all day and didn't know about this, nodded in agreement, "Dad is really thoughtful."

"Fang Ming, you have to remember that you are still the same person as before. You don't need to suppress your unhappiness, and you don't need to be nice to them. You are the youngest child of the Peng family."

"Yes, Dad, I can play the pig and eat the tiger."

"You have to do what he asked you to do. Dad is a little suspicious of his identity, but it's not a bad thing. Just do it for the best."

"yes."

On the other side, Zeng Xianglin's wife visited the Yu family.

Wu Zhen had received instructions from the girl long ago, so after bringing the person over, he waited quietly on the side, listening carefully and keeping his mouth shut.

"Aunt, is my uncle awake today?" Mrs. Zeng took a step closer and bowed, then quietly raised her eyes to confirm the person on the bed.

"He was awake for a while before, but now he has fallen asleep again." Madam Yu wiped her eyes, lowered the curtains on the bed, and looked at her nephew's wife with a haggard expression, "Why are you here now? Is there something wrong?"

Madam Zeng hesitated for a moment, but still told her the purpose of her visit, "Aunt, do you know that my cousin has locked up my brother-in-law?"

Madam Yu was stunned. "How could it be... When did it happen? I have no idea."

"You don't mind what's going on outside. Now that your cousin is the head of the family, how could she let you know? I am also nosy. I heard those rumors outside and couldn't help but worry that it would be bad for your cousin, so I came to your house to talk nonsense."

Madam Zeng held Madam Yu's hand and said earnestly, "You still have to persuade her. Since you are married, you will be together for life. Even if the son-in-law Qi Qiu is a scholar, he has a reputation. If you hurt him too much, won't it also hurt your cousin? You still have to live a good life, don't you think?"

Madam Yu nodded repeatedly, "That's right, Weiwei is really... It's also my fault for not disciplining her well. It's my fault as a mother."

"There's nothing wrong with that. I know my cousin's personality. She has the best intentions, but she has to give in to her brother-in-law. It's normal for her not to know her. But the rumors are bad for her reputation." Madam Zeng smiled. "My husband said he has to go out to do something tomorrow, so he might as well take my brother-in-law with him. It will also let people know that the rumors are all unfounded. Why was my brother-in-law locked up for no reason? What do you think?"

"Okay, okay, thank you Xiang Lin for your concern. I will go talk to Wei Wei later. She is just spoiled by me. In fact, she will be easy to talk to if you give in to her."

"How could I not know?" Madam Zeng covered her mouth and laughed. She glanced at the veil where there was no movement at all. "Is my uncle really not getting any better?"

"No matter what methods we tried, the sleeping time is getting longer and longer." Madam Yu's voice was choked with sobs. Not wanting to cry in front of the younger generation, she turned her head and covered her mouth.

"It will be fine. My husband heard that there is a miracle doctor in the capital and has sent someone to see him..."

"Really?" Mrs. Yu interrupted her before she could finish and asked hurriedly.

"Of course it's true. My husband said that we have to try before we give up."

"Xiang Lin is so thoughtful. Please thank him on my behalf. I will keep it in mind."

Mrs. Zeng chuckled. "Look at what you said. We are one family and we have different opinions. We certainly hope that my uncle can get better soon."

The goal was achieved, and after chatting for a while, Mrs. Zeng said goodbye and left as it was getting dark.

Mrs. Yu was worried about something. She stood up and stroked her temples. "Butler, you stay and look after the master. I'll go talk to the young lady."

"yes."

After seeing the lady off, Wu Zhen drew back the curtains. When he looked up, he saw his master with his eyes wide open. He was about to speak, but he made a gesture to keep quiet and glanced outside.

Wu Zhen glanced around the room and came to his senses, "You guys go get ready, I'll wipe the master's body."

The two maids who stayed in the room bowed and left. He walked to the door and took a look. After making sure that no one had gone far away, he quickly closed the door and ran back to the bed.

"Master, there is no one."

"Tell me about the situation at home." Master Yu took a breath, "Just tell me the most important things."
