Jiang Chen sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be pitiful.
"Big brother, in this Mayor's Mansion, you are the one who dotes on me the most. I don't want to marry Lady Murong. Since you are my father's son, why don't you marry her?"
Jiang Chen said in a serious tone.
"Sigh, second brother, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I am still a foster son. Even if I agree, my foster father will not agree. This marriage was specially prepared by my foster father for you."
Jiang Ru Long said with difficulty, but his heart was blooming with joy. As long as this hedonistic son insisted on not marrying Lady Murong, he would have a chance.
"As long as big brother agrees, I guarantee that big brother will marry Lady Murong tomorrow."
Jiang Chen patted his chest and guaranteed.
"Are you for real?"
Jiang Ru Long was delighted.
"Of course."
Jiang Chen had a confident expression.
"Alright, since we are brothers, big brother will help you with this."
Jiang Ru Long had a righteous expression and was cheering for the heavens to open his eyes.
"You are really my biological brother."
Jiang Chen had a face of gratitude and almost burst into tears.
"Big brother, it's settled. Tomorrow in the grand hall, you don't have to say anything and just pretend that you don't know anything. I will settle everything."
Jiang Chen said.
"Alright, then big brother shall not disturb your rest."
Jiang Ru Long patted on Jiang Chen's shoulder again and left. He didn't know what method Jiang Chen was going to use to make this marriage against him, but with his understanding of Jiang Chen, it was possible that this hedonistic son would cause a scene at the wedding.
"As long as I marry Lady Murong, not only will my status in the Mayor's Mansion rise, but I will also have a place in Big Sister Murong's heart. This silly kid doesn't know how lucky he is and actually offered such a good thing to me. I will think of a way to get rid of him when I am in power."
Outside the courtyard, Jiang Ru Long immediately changed his expression.
In the courtyard, Jiang Chen had a cold smile on his face. "You want to play with me? Just wait to be played to death by me."
Early the next morning, the entire City Lord's Mansion was decorated with lanterns and streamers, and was very lively. Today was the day of the marriage between the two major powers of the Tian Xiang City, and was an unprecedented event.
"The head of the Murong Clan has arrived."
Accompanied by the guard's loud voice, a majestic figure stepped into the gate of the City Lord Mansion.
This man's body was extremely strong, even stronger than the mayor, Jiang Zhen Hai. He looked to be in his forties and was wearing a flowery robe. He walked with a majestic aura.
This man was one of the giants of Tian Xiang City, the head of the Mu Rong family, Mu Rong Zhan.
"Haha, welcome, Murong Xue. I apologize for not going out to meet you."
Jiang Zhen Hai laughed out loud and walked out with big steps. Behind him, Jiang Ru Long and Jiang Chen followed closely.
"City Lord Jiang is too courteous. Today is the day of the marriage alliance between our two clans. I dare not be negligent."
Mu Rong Zhan had a forthright expression on his face, but in Jiang Chen's eyes, he was just an old fox.
Jiang Chen's gaze fell behind Mu Rong Zhan, but he did not see Miss Murong. Mu Rong Zhan came alone. Of course, this was enough. In the entire Tian Xiang City, there were not many occasions where Mu Rong Zhan would personally appear. He alone represented the entire Mu Rong family.
"Brother Mu Rong, please come in."
Jiang Zhen Hai gestured for them to enter, and the group walked into the hall.
Inside the hall, Jiang Zhen Hai and Mu Rong Zhan sat opposite each other, while Jiang Chen and Jiang Ru Long stood on either side.
"Brother Jiang, you and I do not need to be so courteous. I am here today for my daughter's marriage. In my opinion, let your son and my daughter choose a date to get married."
Mu Rong Zhan said straightforwardly.
"That is how it should be. With the marriage alliance between our two clans, Tian Xiang City will definitely prosper in the future."
Jiang Zhen Hai nodded his head. He then turned to Jiang Chen and said, "Chen 'er, greet your father-in-law."
"Good, good, your son is so handsome, so handsome, so talented."
Mu Rong Zhan looked at Jiang Chen and kept praising him. Who knew how fake he was when he said this? In the entire Tian Xiang City, everyone knew that the second young master of the Mayor's Mansion was famous for being a spoiled brat. His talent was extremely poor, and he had wasted a lot of elixirs since he was a child. Now that he was 15 years old, he was only at the first level of the Qi Realm.
Mu Rong Zhan, on the other hand, was full of praises for him. It seemed like he was very satisfied with this son-in-law of his. Many times, the interest of the family was more important than anything else.
"Dad, are you mistaken?"
Jiang Chen's face was full of astonishment. "Isn't this marriage meant for big brother?"
Jiang Chen's words shocked both Jiang Zhen Hai and Mu Rong Zhan. Mu Rong Zhan looked at Jiang Ru Long and couldn't help but nod his head. This was a real talent, reaching the ninth level of the Qi Realm at such a young age.
"Chen 'er, don't talk nonsense."
Jiang Zhen Hai frowned.
"Dad, although I am not talented, I know that I am not good enough for Miss Mu Rong. If Miss Mu Rong were to marry me, it would be a great loss for her. My big brother is already at the ninth level of the Qi Realm at such a young age, and he is one of the most talented people in Tian Xiang City. My big brother is obviously more suitable than me to marry the Mu Rong family. Besides, I am still young and have no idea about marriage. Although my big brother has never met Miss Mu Rong, he has been in love with her for a long time. If he could marry her, then it would be a perfect match, and it would also improve the relationship between the Mayor's Mansion and the Mu Rong family."
Jiang Chen spoke with confidence, praising Jiang Ru Long to the heavens.
On the other side, Jiang Ru Long was so touched that he almost cried. He didn't expect his image to be so perfect in Jiang Chen's heart.
"Haha, so brother Jiang wants to arrange a marriage alliance for your eldest son. I didn't know that Jiang Ru Long has been in love with my daughter for a long time. How rare!"
Mu Rong Zhan laughed out loud. Although it was only for the benefit of the family, if he had to choose between Jiang Ru Long and Jiang Chen, even an idiot would know who to choose.
Jiang Zhen Hai's face turned green. He wanted to kick this unfilial son out of the house, but seeing how happy Mu Rong Zhan was, he had nothing to say.
Jiang Chen had already praised Jiang Ru Long to the heavens and said that Jiang Ru Long had been in love with Miss Murong for a long time. If Jiang Zhen Hai continued to insist, not only would his precious son not appreciate it, but Mu Rong Zhan would also be unhappy.
"Ru Long, quickly greet father-in-law."
Jiang Zhen Hai said with a forced smile on his face.
"Greetings, father-in-law."
Jiang Ru Long quickly bowed to Mu Rong Zhan.
"Kid, your heart must be blooming with joy right? Don't worry, you will be crying later."
Jiang Chen sneered. He coughed lightly and said, "Uncle Mu Rong, I was talking to my brother yesterday. My brother has another wish."
"Oh? What wish do you have? With me and Brother Jiang here, there is nothing to be afraid of. "
It was obvious that Mu Rong Zhan was very happy.
But Jiang Chen's words stunned Jiang Ru Long. He looked at Jiang Chen confusedly and couldn't remember what wish he had said yesterday.
"My brother said that he has admired the Murong Clan for a long time. If he could marry into the Murong Clan, he would have no regrets in his life."
Jiang Chen said with a smile. The fox's tail was finally revealed.
But as soon as Jiang Chen said this, Jiang Ru Long's face changed.
"Second brother, what are you talking about?"
Jiang Ru Long said in a low voice.
"Big brother, am I right? I know, you are the one who is embarrassed, but it doesn't matter. Second brother will say it for you. With Father and Head Mu Rong here, your wish will definitely come true. Plus, you have admired the Murong Clan and Miss Murong for a long time. Am I not speaking the truth? "
Jiang Chen's words made Mu Rong Zhan happy. He thought to himself that although Jiang Chen wasn't talented, he was good with words.
"Second brother, you …"
Jiang Ru Long was anxious. It was true that he wanted to marry Miss Murong, but he wasn't going to marry into the Murong Clan. Miss Murong marrying into the Mayor's Mansion and him marrying into the Murong Clan were two completely different concepts.
If he left the Mayor's Mansion, he would be a member of the Murong Clan. In the future, everything in the Mayor's Mansion would have nothing to do with him, and all the hard work he had put in all these years would be for naught. As for the Murong Clan, if he married into the Murong Clan, let alone being valued, he would definitely be looked down upon.
If this was the case, his future would be completely ruined.
"What? Could it be that big brother was lying to little brother yesterday? Could it be that big brother's words of admiration for the Murong Clan were all hypocritical? This isn't like big brother's personality. "
Jiang Chen's words made Jiang Ru Long choke back his words.
This bastard must have planned this on purpose. Jiang Ru Long clenched his teeth in hatred. He wanted nothing more than to strangle Jiang Chen to death. Jiang Chen's words gave him a fatal blow, and he didn't even have the chance to turn the tables.
Jiang Ru Long wasn't a fool. He knew that he had been tricked by Jiang Chen, but there was one thing he didn't understand. How did this good-for-nothing playboy suddenly become so smart that he even tricked him?
"You are still far from being able to compete with this Saint."
Jiang Chen sneered in his heart. Jiang Ru Long wanted to kill him, and he had to settle this score. Today's game was just the beginning.
"Haha, I didn't think that your son would admire my daughter to this extent. Jiang Ru Long is an outstanding talent of the Fragrant Sky City. If he could marry into our Murong Clan, that would be great. In the future, our two clans would be one family. In the Fragrant Sky City, who would dare to disobey?"
Mu Rong Zhan laughed heartily.
On the other side, Jiang Zhen Hai's face was gloomy. Today's events were completely different from what he had expected. First, there was a replacement, and now he was going to marry into the Murong Clan.
"Ru Long, have you thought it through?"
Jiang Zhen Hai looked at Jiang Ru Long. Jiang Zhen Hai couldn't bear to let Jiang Ru Long marry into the Murong Clan. The Jiang Clan's business was huge, and Jiang Ru Long was a capable assistant. But he wanted to respect his godson's decision. If Jiang Ru Long really thought this way, he could only agree.
"Dad, of course. I know big brother's thoughts the best. Now that his wish has been fulfilled, he must be overjoyed. Uncle Murong, when my big brother comes to your house in the future, you must not let him suffer any grievances."
Jiang Chen quickly agreed on behalf of Jiang Ru Long and didn't forget to get close to Mu Rong Zhan.
"Haha, don't worry. Who would dare to bully my son-in-law?"
Mu Rong Zhan's face was full of joy.
Jiang Ru Long's fists were clenched tightly in his sleeves, and his heart was burning with anger. He couldn't help but be angry. All his efforts were wasted, and all his plans were completely disrupted.
But in the current situation, he had no other choice. Mu Rong Zhan was already overjoyed, and if he were to spoil his mood at this moment, it would definitely affect the already bad relationship between the two clans.
"Haha, congratulations big brother, congratulations Uncle Murong. What a joyous occasion. Uncle Murong, since the marriage has been decided, shouldn't you let Miss Murong come over and let us see her in person?"
Jiang Chen repeatedly congratulated.
"En, Chen 'er is right. I have long heard that Brother Murong has a godson who lives in seclusion. Now that the marriage has been decided, it is time for this Miss to show herself."
Jiang Zhen Hai also said. Since the matter had been decided, he could only follow along.
"Haha, my daughter, Mu Rong Xiao Rou, is already on her way here. I believe she will be here soon."
Mu Rong Zhan stroked his beard and laughed. The hall was filled with cheers, and only Jiang Ru Long's laughter was forced.
"Wow! Miss Murong's name alone is enough to tell that she is gentle and lovely. A lady from a respectable family is indeed different. She is definitely as beautiful as a goddess. Big brother, you are really lucky this time. "
Jiang Chen praised this young lady that he had never met before and didn't forget to provoke the depressed Jiang Ru Long with his words.
Cough cough …
Hearing Jiang Chen's praise of his beloved daughter, Mu Rong Zhan didn't know why, but he actually started coughing violently. He even spat out the tea, which was a huge loss of face.
