Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Whose Seed Is He Really? Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Whose Seed Is He Really? Yin Hehe’s words, of course, made Sheng Siyuan very happy. After the couple finished lunch and rested for a while, they took Youyou to the flower fields.

“By the way, has the situation with Jian Zhongzhou been resolved?”

As the car slowly headed towards the sea of flowers, suddenly, Yin Hehe asked a question from behind while holding the child.

Sheng Siyuan, who was driving, looked up and glanced at the rearview mirror above his head, and said with an “mmm”: “It’s been resolved, you don’t need to worry.”

“How was it resolved?” Yin Hehe still pressed on with her questions.

“You didn’t go back to your old ways of collusion between government and business, did you? Let me tell you, that’s a ticking time bomb. It’s no good for us.”

She added another statement.

The man driving listened quietly. Initially, he thought to brush her off with some excuse, but when he heard her mention “us,” he pressed his lips together and decided to tell the truth.

“I found someone, but not an official.”

“Who then?”

“A person who has dirt on Jian Zhongzhou. With someone controlling his vulnerable spot, he naturally wouldn’t dare to act rashly anymore.”

Sheng Siyuan concealed the identity of the key person involved and casually pushed forward someone else as a scapegoat.

After listening to him, Yin Hehe let out a sigh of relief as if a great burden had been lifted from her shoulders.

“You’re smarter than I am. I didn’t even think of that. Now it’s like the storm has passed. When I return to Jiangbei, we’ll truly be able to live happily.”

She spoke these words cheerfully, without thinking much.

Sheng Siyuan, listening in front, a pleasing curvature formed at the corner of his lips, and his dark pupils reflected the sea of flowers becoming increasingly closer in front of the windshield, bright like never before.

Yes, the storm had passed, marking the beautiful beginning for their family.

—-

Capital City.

Jian Family.

“Clang——”

A loud noise exploded in the living room, startling Wang Meifeng so much that she shuddered again.

It was an early start!

The news that came from the workplace that ordered him to pack his bags and go home caused him to unleash his rage in the living room.

All morning, anything that could be smashed in the living room was shattered, leaving the area in complete disarray, resembling a battlefield.

“Master, you… please calm down, since it’s already happened, let us think of a solution. What’s the use of smashing things at home?”

Seeing Jian Zhongzhou about to throw another chair, this time aiming for the fish tank, Wang Meifeng finally couldn’t hold back anymore and stepped forward bravely to persuade him.

But as soon as her words fell, the man, who was in a state of fury, glared at her with blood-red eyes.

“This is all because of you! If it wasn’t for you insisting that the Sheng Family was in the bag for you, I would never have offered Rourou to them, and she wouldn’t have died so miserably. You wretch, it’s all your fault!”

He bellowed furiously.

Clutching the chair in his hand, he actually threw it directly at Wang Meifeng.

Wang Meifeng screamed in terror, “Help!”

Luckily, a servant at home arrived just in time and saw the scene, quickly stepping forward to restrain the man who had lost his senses.

“Jian Zhongzhou, you’re utterly mad. Yes, I indeed thought the Sheng Family was mine for the taking, but when you married me, wasn’t it because I had that bargaining chip in hand?”

Wang Meifeng, seeing someone had come to break up the fight, immediately exploded at him.

That’s right, Jian Zhongzhou had never favored her, Wang Meifeng, in the past.

The Wang Family had many daughters, but back then, aside from Wang Wanjun, the biological daughter of Old Lady Wang, none of the others could find a good family to marry into, given the Wang Family’s status in the Capital City at that time.

The Jian Family initially had set their eyes on Wang Wanjun.

Unfortunately, Wang Wanjun had the backing of the Bai Family, and to a family of modest standing like the Jian Family, she had no interest. Therefore, Wang Meifeng took action.

She first took the initiative to cast flirtatious glances at Jian Zhongzhou.

However, Jian Zhongzhou did not pay any attention to her. Later, it was Wang Wanjun who ran into trouble, just as Wang Meifeng grasped her leverage. After she married into the Sheng Family, Wang Meifeng used the Sheng Family’s assets as a bargaining chip.

Just then, she successfully married into the Jian Family.

“Jian Zhongzhou, you dare to speak to me now? What right do you have? If you weren’t also coveting the Sheng Family, would you have sent Rourou away?”

Wang Meifeng found a point of counterattack and began to curse at this person again.

Jian Zhongzhou’s face turned green and then pale as he was cursed, and finally, he collapsed onto a chair.

“Master?”

“That’s enough, you all go down first. I will have a good talk with him.”

Seeing his state, Wang Meifeng knew she had gotten the upper hand again and immediately sent the servants away.

A few minutes later, she brought a cup of warm water to the man in front of her.

“Zhongzhou, I didn’t mean to say those things. It’s just that you’re not calm enough right now. How can you think of the next move if you’re not calm?”

“…”

After a long while, Jian Zhongzhou still in the chair reluctantly took the cup of water.

“What move could there be now? My position has been removed, you tell me what else is there for me to struggle for?”

He gulped the water down his throat and slammed the cup onto the floor, hanging his head in defeat as he spoke.

Wang Meifeng snorted with a hint of disdain as she watched his pathetic state.

“You’ve been mixed in the capital’s officialdom for so many years, haven’t you ever thought that in this circle, the relationships are all interlinked?”

“What do you mean?”

“It means, we need to figure out first who has the capability to remove you from your post. Now we’re clinging to the Duan Family’s leg, how could you still lose your position?”

Wang Meifeng stood in front of Jian Zhongzhou with her arms crossed, questioning him.

Jian Zhongzhou was stunned for a moment. “Are you suggesting that someone has more power than the Duan Family? But in the capital, only the Shen Family and the Xiahou Family have more clout than Duan Jiu.”

He finally thought of this possibility.

Wang Meifeng nodded. “That’s right, the four major families in the capital, outsiders don’t dare confront them, it’s only between families.”

“Who could it be then?”

“The Shen Family is more high-profile among the four major families but has a power similar to the Duan Family. They wouldn’t offend the Duan Family over this matter.”

Wang Meifeng began to analyze.

Admittedly, this woman had some brains. Having lived in the capital for so many years, she understood the political landscape even clearer than her husband.

Jian Zhongzhou’s face turned even paler.

“So, that means… the Xiahou Family?” He looked towards his wife in shock.

“Why would he do that? Xiahou Yi has already retired to Chongzhou, why would he still interfere in this matter?”

“…”

Wang Meifeng also fell into deep thought.

Yes, why? The Shengshi Group might be ranked first among the national wealthy conglomerates, but the Xiahou Family is tremendously powerful and wouldn’t need such things.

Could it be?

Wang Meifeng suddenly remembered, when Old Madam Wang acknowledged the Bai Family’s matriarch as her godmother, Xiahou Yi had some interactions with the head of the Bai Family.

Could it be that he had met her then and thus offered some help?

Wang Meifeng was lost in thought…
