Chapter 1102 – House Chen
Zhenhu listened to Liu Tianyi's report and took a deep breath, frowning. He didn't speak for a long time!
Originally, Zhenhu thought that after Lin Yi's treatment, he could live another ten years. With his old face, House Liu could hold on for a while longer. As long as he didn't die, House Liu would still have hope! As long as they managed it well, with a reasonable marriage with an ancient martial arts house, House Liu would continue to prosper!
Zhenhu's plan was to use Liu Jinghan and another young master of a martial arts house's child as the next head of the house, in exchange for the Liu surname. This way, the child would be able to learn the martial arts of a martial arts house, and when the child grew up, House Liu would become a martial arts house as well!
But, before this idea could be realized, a problem arose!
House Liu had already received the news of the upcoming noble house meeting. House Yu was planning to remove one noble house and make a new one! This would not only ensure House Yu's position in the noble house meeting, but it would also benefit House Yu when they became a new noble house!
Before, everyone thought that the new noble house would be removed would be Xiao family, but now, it seemed that this new noble house would be House Liu!
House Chen had at least one practitioner, Chen Yutian- his level was a bit low, but he was still a practitioner. House Liu, on the other hand, had none!
"Tianyi, Tianli, what do you think? How can House Liu maintain our current position in the upcoming noble house meeting?" Zhenhu raised his head and looked at his two sons.
Liu Tianyi and Liu Tianli fell into deep thought- in fact, they had been thinking about this problem ever since they got the news that Xiao family was supported by the hidden House Pi. It was just that they didn't have any good ideas.
"Tianyi, why don't you go first?" Zhenhu said.
"I'm thinking- is it possible to ask for House Wu's help?" Liu Tianyi's wife was the daughter of Wu Gonggao, the head of House Wu, and Wu Gonggao had just broken through to the middle phase of the mystic class- if he was willing to help, there should be a chance.
"What about Tianli? What do you think? "Zhenhu didn't comment on Liu Tianyi's idea and asked Tianli instead.
"Big Brother is right. Sister-in-law is a member of the Wu Family, so it's only right for us to seek help from the Wu Family! Other than that, I think we should build a good relationship with the Xiao family. The Xiao family needs business partners right now, and we can totally volunteer to do business with the Xiao family … "Tianli said after some thought.
"Jing Jing, why don't you tell us what you think?" Zhenhu turned his attention to his granddaughter, Liu Jinghan.
"Lin Yi …" Liu Jinghan pondered for a moment and only said two words.
"Lin Yi?" Tianli paused after hearing his daughter's words. "Jing Jing, why are you bringing up Lin Yi at a time like this? He's not from a noble house, and even if he was, he's a mortal enemy of House Yu. We've publicly supported Lin Yi, and that's already making House Yu uncomfortable. If we get involved with Lin Yi now, then House Yu will hate us even more. Wouldn't House Liu be the first to be kicked out of the list of noble houses? "
"Jing Jing, be more specific …" Zhenhu waved his hand, signaling Liu Tianyi to calm down. He then nodded to Liu Jinghan, allowing her to continue.
"Dad, both you and uncle are right, but have you thought about it? Since it's inevitable to get rid of a noble house, even if House Wu and the Xiao family speak up for us, what's the use? If they don't get rid of us, are they supposed to get rid of them? " Liu Jinghan said calmly, "House Xiao may have gotten House Pi's help, but they've just become a first-rate noble house from a fallen noble house. Under these circumstances, they'll probably choose to protect themselves and not interfere with House Yu's decision. If they want to gain a foothold, then that'll be in the next noble house meeting …"
"Even so, it shouldn't be a problem for the Xiao family to put in a good word, right? And what about House Wu? As long as House Wu speaks up for us, then House Chen should be the one getting rid of, right? " Tianli felt that his daughter's words made sense, but House Wu was an old noble house, and Wu Gonggao had always been a strong-willed person. If he were to speak up, then there shouldn't be a problem!
"Even if House Wu speaks up for us, who should we get rid of? From what I know, House Wu is trying to get House Kang into the list of noble houses this time, right? And House Xiao and House Kang seem to have a marriage relationship, right? Even if they were to speak up, it'd be for House Kang, wouldn't it? They can't wait for House Liu to get rid of, right? "Liu Jinghan said calmly.
Until now, the news of House Xiao and House Kang canceling the marriage had yet to spread. House Xiao was too embarrassed to say it, and House Kang didn't have the time to say it. House Kang was busy thinking about how to compete with Miracle Doctor Guan's medical company!
"This … But, if they were to suggest getting rid of House Chen, wouldn't that protect House Liu's position?" Tianli asked.
"Dad, even if that's the case, will House Yu listen to them? Don't forget, the Chen family has a marriage contract! "Liu Jinghan reminded.
Yes, if it weren't for Liu Jinghan's reminder, Liu Tianyi and Liu Tianli would've forgotten that House Chen still had an engagement! Many people knew about this back then, and it caused quite a stir. But as time went on, there was no more movement from that side, and House Chen didn't mention it anymore, so the engagement was forgotten by many.
Now, many people had forgotten about it. If it weren't for Liu Jinghan bringing it up today, Liu Tianyi and Liu Tianli would've forgotten about it already!
"Jing Jing, there's no movement from House Chen's engagement, it's probably off by now, right?" Liu Tianli frowned and asked after some hesitation.
"Whether it's off or not, only House Chen knows. Old Chen can sit on the fishing platform without showing anything strange, that's enough to say something …" Liu Jinghan analyzed carefully.
In fact, Old Chen wasn't too sure himself. There was no news from that side ever since the engagement, and they didn't send anyone to contact them for so many years. Although there was still some time before the agreed time, they couldn't just not send any news, could they?
His granddaughter wasn't a practitioner, so did they give up on the marriage?
