CHAPTER 1096: 1173: WHERE DID THE WILD MAN COME FROM

Watching his twin brothers about to lose control, the eldest, Liang Zhichen, spoke up, "Lao San."

As soon as Zhichen spoke, Dong Huiying, who was chatting with Shen Qiuyang, also closed her mouth.

Everyone looked towards Liang Zhichen.

Shujun glanced at his elder brother and then huffed coldly, "Oh, where did this wild man come from? He looks a bit like my heartless elder brother, but my brother is probably dead outside. He hasn’t been home for a year or two and never sent word of safety. Who knows what he’s thinking?"

Zhichen let out a bitter laugh, "Why are you in Jun City?" He just wanted to divert Shuyu and Shujun’s attention to prevent the wife and Shen Qiuyang from talking too deeply and unknowingly getting the two of them angry. But unexpectedly, opening his mouth just ignited Lao San’s fire.

Shujun, looking as if not afraid of angering people to death, placed his hand by his ear and loudly exaggerated, "Huh?? What are you saying? Sorry, I can’t hear you!!"

Liang Zhichen: "..."

Dong Huiying: "..."

Shuyu: Well done, as expected of my twin brother, Liang Shuyu!!

***

Shujun made a scene, but he was quite measured, clearly understanding the notion of ’enough is enough.’ Otherwise, going too far might not bother the elder brother, but what if the wife finds him mean and sharp-tongued? That would harm his image, and that must never happen!

Thus, after throwing a few jabs at his elder brother, Shujun temporarily let the matter drop.

"These past two years, I’ve been going back and forth between Pingchang Prefecture and Qingfeng Prefecture every now and then. I have some businesses there too. Inns never feel as comfortable as home, let’s go, let’s return to Liang Mansion."

Liang Mansion was originally the Wang family’s residence, one of the Four Great Aristocratic Families of Jun City, but the Wang family had declined, even pawning the ancestral home. Shujun took advantage of the disorder to buy it at a low price.

Yi Ran, Uncle Jiang, Elder Sun, and Yu Xiu seemed particularly interested in infants. They were upstairs at the inn, gathered around Young Master Li’s bed, occasionally peeking at the child nestled in Young Master Li’s arm, their eyes nearly lighting up.

Yi Ran, this handsy fellow, even occasionally pinched the child’s cheek, scaring Young Master Li into a state of high alert, mistakenly thinking these rascals wanted to snatch his daughter.

Fortunately, these overexcited people were eventually called away by Lady Xiao Dong, letting Young Master Li wipe the cold sweat off his face, thanking the heavens.

Yi Ran and the others followed Dong Huiying, Liang Zhichen, and Liang Shuyu to the "Liang Mansion" Shujun mentioned.

There were many rooms in Liang Mansion, enough to accommodate Yi Ran, Uncle Jiang, and their considerable number of attendants.

However, just as Shujun finished arranging rooms for everyone, they suddenly heard a cup shatter from a guest room, followed by a loud thud as if a table was overturned, and then a groan of someone falling to the floor.

Dong Huiying looked at Shujun suspiciously, and Shujun pressed his temples in frustration. "Xiao Hui, go deal with her, I really can’t handle her."

"Her?" The wife blinked, then seemed to understand and immediately walked toward the closed guest room.

She knocked on the door first, but the person inside was dry heaving, unable to respond to her.

She frowned slightly, then pushed open the door, and the overpowering smell of alcohol surged out, almost causing Dong Huiying to faint.

She quickly held her breath, then focused her gaze inside the room, seeing a strong woman with a face full of desolation.
