Xiao Zheng did not understand what Qiu Shou had given Shang Yao in return. But at least for now, Qiu Shou's actions were purely to sow discord between the Zhao clan descendants and the few factions they wanted to take revenge on.
Shang clan and Yan clan fighting, who would benefit the most?
Who would be happy to see the Yan Clan and the Bai Clan going to war?
Everyone knew about Qiu Shou's intentions.
But even though Shang Yao knew Qiu Shou's intentions, she still chose to consider and not reject directly.
This was human nature.
Usually, when one's own benefits were involved, then the big picture would become insignificant.
In the face of a national crisis, a group of corrupt officials were still scheming in the dark for their own benefits, targeting those brave warriors who fought for the country and its people.
Why?
Because once these people gained power, this group of inexperienced and corrupt officials would lose their value. At that time, no matter how strong the country was, they would not be able to do whatever they wanted. On the contrary, even if they lost the war and had to pay reparations, they would still have the upper hand. They could amass wealth and enjoy themselves.
This was the deep-rooted bad habit of humans. This was also the reason why traitors frequently appeared. Every man for himself, heaven and earth would destroy him. However, some used it for their own benefits, while others used it for the country's glory. The former were ambitious and ruthless. The latter were not tolerated by heaven and earth, and would go down in history.
Shang Yao knew Qiu Shou's intentions, but still chose to consider. Because Qiu Shou had provided Shang Yao with a plan that suited her own benefits the most. Once Bai clan was defeated, then the marriage between Shang Yao and Bai Wu Shuang would fall apart. Even if she cried and screamed that she wanted to marry Bai Wu Shuang, Yan and Shang clan would not allow it.
On the contrary, if Bai clan continued to rule White City. If she really married Bai Wu Shuang. Then no matter how strong Yan clan was, Shang Yao would slowly lose her right to speak. She would even be marginalized.
In terms of methods and clan status, how could she compare to Shang Jingtian? Moreover, the elders in the clan had already reached an agreement with Shang Jingtian to force Shang Yao to submit.
She had no other choice!
Qiu Shou's move could be said to have pushed Shang Yao into endless darkness, causing her to be in a dilemma.
The other side of the phone was silent for a long time. Then, Shang Yao's deep voice came slowly, "If I agree, do I still need to discuss with Boss Xiao?"
Xiao Zheng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. His expression changed as he asked, "What time tonight?"
A sly glint flashed in Shang Yao's eyes that Xiao Zheng didn't know about. She opened her red lips slightly and said, "Eight o 'clock." After a pause, Shang Yao added. "Do you want me to pick you up, Boss Xiao?"
"No need." Xiao Zheng shook his head and said helplessly. "I will be there on time."
Going to the Yan Family for a feast?
Even if they prepared a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, Xiao Zheng wouldn't be able to eat it.
A few years ago, he had offended everyone in the Yan Clan. Even Yen Teng-kuei's legs were broken by Xiao Zheng. Yan Shang's death had long been blamed on him.
Sneaking around, the other party could still turn a blind eye to it. Openly going to someone else's family feast — Xiao Zheng felt that even if he wore a bulletproof vest, he wouldn't be able to block the pair of eyes that could cut him into pieces.
After ending the conversation, Shang Yao slowly put down her phone. She turned around and looked at Yan Hong who was sitting on the sofa. It was her aunt.
"Why do you have to drag Xiao Zheng into this?" Yan Hong asked curiously.
"Because the problem I'm facing now is already unsolvable." Shang Yao sat down and took a sip of tea. "Right now, everyone wants me to marry Bai Wushuang and create a strong alliance. I can either marry him or let go of the power. There's no third option. "
"This is a trap that Big Brother specially set up for you." Yan Hong said bluntly.
"I know." Shang Yao nodded and smiled bitterly. "Father knows me very well, and he also knows where my weakness is."
"Even if Xiao Zheng is very powerful now, he can't influence the internal decisions of our clan." He can't influence the internal decisions of our family, "Yan Hong said with a serious expression. "He might even anger Big Brother."
"How do you know if you don't try?" Shang Yao narrowed her eyes. "I'm just trying everything I can to save a dead horse. If there's no other way, I can only give up my position. "
Yan Hong's brows furrowed slightly when she heard this.
Shang Yao give up her position?
Then as an outsider in the clan, she would have no right to speak.
Be it Second Brother Yan Jiaji or Big Brother Shang Jingtian, they would not tolerate her.
The current Yan Hong and Shang Yao were in the same boat. They were bound together for good or bad.
…
Before Xiao Zheng got off work, he texted Old Lin, but Old Lin only reminded him: Don't drink.
It was very suggestive, but it made Brother Ah Zheng grin from ear to ear.
In the past, Xiao Zheng would think about this every day, but he could not get it. Now, he did not even need to hint at Old Lin, the latter would take the initiative to bring up the topic.
There was always a process of development between husband and wife. Of course, the natural seductive and flirtatious woman was an exception.
After all, Old Lin was a woman who could only accept traditional positions, and did not have much fun.
Recently, Xiao Zheng had improved a lot, and developed Old Lin's upper position. On one hand, it saved him energy, and on the other hand, he could see Old Lin's shy facial expression more clearly.
Hmm, very restrained, and a little stiff.
But everything had a process. Xiao Zheng had waited for four to five years, he was not in a hurry.
Also, he had already thought of the next step.
Kneeling …
This was a great visual effect, and it was also an exceptionally stimulating body position. Xiao Zheng believed that it would make the bedroom more interesting.
At the very least, it would make Xiao Zheng more interesting.
What a sense of accomplishment it was to teach the cold and aloof Her Majesty the Queen to be like that.
He drank half a cup of warm water, suppressing the evil fire that was rising with his fantasies. He shook his head, took his jacket, and left.
It was already late autumn. The weather in Sijiu City was bone-chillingly cold, and the occasional cold wind blew. It made one's entire body feel cold.
After putting on his jacket, just as Xiao Zheng walked through the corridor, he bumped into a beautiful figure.
It was Blue Heart.
At first glance, Blue Heart's beautiful eyes were filled with exhaustion. Her jade-white face was also slightly pale. Her body seemed to be in bad shape.
"Chief Lan, are you okay?" Are you alright? "Xiao Zheng asked with concern. His tone became gentler and gentler.
Even though their relationship was still a secret. However, looking at Blue Heart's sickly expression, he couldn't help but feel moved and his emotions stirred.
"I'm fine." Blue Heart lightly shook her head, her snow-white face showing signs of weakness. "I've been busy these past few days, and my body is a bit tired."
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng got closer to Blue Heart and said gently, "I'll send you home."
