CHAPTER 208: CHAPTER 170: THE SITUATION OF BEING SQUEEZED FROM 2 SIDES (REQUESTING SUBSCRIPTION)_2

Staring at some small gadgets in hand, while admiring them, he muttered to himself:

"Play however you want, I’m not going to mess with you guys."

"From now on, Yuchi is my brother Wei. A bunch of people who don’t know any better, not a bit of brain in them."

"Aren’t they just like Zhou Xingcai and the others back then?"

"History is eerily repetitive, never learning its lesson."

Anyone in the town with a bit of sense, even slightly normal, would know this matter is unusual.

Could the Wei Family’s trade association suddenly come to Jiangzhou City to do business before having a bad relationship?

Without even thinking, do you think your private relationships can compare to those of the Celestial Capital Department and other Four Major Institutions and sects?

So these Four Major Institutions haven’t said a word against it, yet each of you is acting all high and mighty?

"A bunch of stupid dogs."

"You’re so used to earning this simple gold and silver from Jiangzhou City that you no longer think."

...

Celestial Capital Department, Chen Weiran.

Xun Yu’s matter is finally over, he can at least peacefully soak in the bath barrel now.

The maid is attending him.

He closed his eyes, the steam winding around his hair, and not far away on the rack hung clothes that had been changed.

Rainwater dripped from the bricks and tiles, falling steadily in the courtyard.

"Alright, Xun Yu is dead, I’ve killed everyone who knew about this Xun Yu matter."

"Even if the higher-ups want to investigate me later, they have no proof, as conjecture can’t convict me."

"I’ll behave myself from now on and make Yuan Tiangang, that pighead, behave. Our problem isn’t big."

Satisfied.

The image of Yuchi appeared in his mind.

"That young man is so exaggerated!"

"Did the Observatory contact him actively, or is he one of their people?"

Thinking it over.

"Song Bei, Song Bei said he’s Yuchi’s uncle?"

"I doubt it, their surnames are different, how could they be related as uncle and nephew?"

"In my view, Song Bei is just an uncle Yuchi recognizes, no blood relation between them."

"Just like my relationship with Yuchi, I call him nephew, he calls me Uncle Chen."

Yes.

That’s probably how it is.

"But in any case, you can’t underestimate this Yuchi."

"This guy just came to Jiangzhou City once and directly pulled out Xun Yu’s secret, and how many days has it been?"

"To know that such a secret had been kept for many years, yet his relationship with Song Yinghan is overly good, don’t you think?"

Darn it!

This is the great sky of the Observatory, the great sky there is much scarier than ours in Jiangzhou City.

Such a woman, unknown how many people have pursued her.

This darn boy, can have such a good relationship with Song Yinghan? They can even bathe together?!

Not only that, but Song Yinghan unexpectedly listens to Yuchi.

She’s of the Observatory. If the Observatory members aren’t proud, is it still the Observatory?

Such a celestial beauty, why would she be so submissive to Yuchi?

This boy must either have some exceptional talent or some "special skill."

"The more I think about it, the crazier this whole thing seems!"

"Song Yinghan’s cold and arrogant demeanor in front of others, towards me, towards others, she looks indifferent."

"But she can talk to Yuchi!"

"This boy... really fierce!"

Narrowing his eyes subtly, Chen Weiran stared at the maid wiping his back: "Alright, you may go."

"Yes, sir."

The maid left.

Chen Weiran lazily leaned back in the wooden tub, casually tossing a couple of tea leaves into the water, as if making tea for himself.

"Others’ thoughts aren’t important, the key is what does the Observatory want me to do?"

"They’re clearly siding with Yuchi now."

"Both Song Yinghan and Song Bei, clearly, the Observatory wants the trade association to develop well..."

Leaning there.

Logic is easily sorted out for Chen Weiran.

"The Observatory wants the trade association to develop well, the trade association wants to develop well, this surely means snatching business from the sects."

"So the trade association is a chess piece for the Observatory, one to compete with the sects for business."

"Under such circumstances, Jiangzhou City’s Four Major Institutions definitely can’t stand with the sects."

"If they cause trouble for trivial gains, if the Observatory investigates, I’ll have no argument."

"It’s understandable, at this critical moment, why would people from the government turn against us?"

"To help the sects suppress government business?"

"That would be treasonous."

"So we still have to support Yuchi."

"Back then, I ignored Yuchi, now I feel like he’s out of reach?"

"Everything’s happening so quickly, isn’t it?"

"Fast guy?"

...

In Xufu Town, a carriage finally stopped at the entrance of the Wei Family.

Two people got off the carriage, one was Xun Xian, and the other was naturally Wei Qingzhu.

They returned all the way from Jiangzhou City to Xufu Town, although it rained along the journey and they didn’t travel quickly, it surprisingly went smoothly.

"Qingzhu, you’ve worked hard all the way, go rest for a while first," Xun Xian said with a smile.
