Although their voices were not loud, Yuan Tangzhong had always been paying attention to them.
Especially when Yuan Xuan gave him a warning look from time to time. Yuan Tangzhong had been in a high position for many years, so it was impossible for him not to know the meaning behind that look.
Yuan Tangzhong's expression suddenly changed when he heard Yuan Xuan mention the reports from the masses. He could hear the clues in Yuan Xuan's words.
Capital City intended to promote him. Although the exact news had not been released, the internal personnel had already informed Yuan Tangzhong that he had to be careful before the reward came. He could not let his guard down and fail at the last step.
Yuan Tangzhong understood that if Yuan Zhe caused trouble at this time and Yuan Xuan had something to use against him, he might not even be able to keep his original position, let alone a promotion.
Yuan Xuan had always been a rock in Yuan Tangzhong's heart.
Yuan Tangzhong did not dare to slack off in the process of fighting for his career. Although his eldest brother was no longer around, the background that Yuan Tangbai had left for Yuan Xuan was not something he could compete with in a day or two.
He had been dormant in Luo Hai for many years and cultivated his strength to climb up. He did not expect that he would be seriously injured when Mu Feng was defeated two years ago and his promotion was affected.
Now that he finally had a chance to climb up, how could he waste it on these trivial matters?
Yuan Xuan did not inherit his father's military achievements and took another path into business. It was actually just a cover-up. Luo Hai's political and economic system was in his hands.
Yuan Xuan was young and mature. He was also very smart and good at playing with people's hearts. Yuan Tangzhong did not have a good time in Luo Hai.
If he stayed in Luo Hai, he would still be restrained by Yuan Xuan.
Moreover, Yuan Xuan had a close relationship with Capital City's Shao Family.
Back then, Old Master Shao and Yuan Tangbai pursued Jiao Shuzhen. Jiao Shuzhen later married Yuan Tangbai and married her cousin sister to Shao Jingshan. Their son, Shao Yibai, became Yuan Xuan's best friend.
The aristocratic families and politicians in Luo Hai had eyes and hearts. Even if they did not respect the dead Yuan Tangbai, they would still respect the Capital City's Shao Family.
His Old Mistress was on Yuan Xuan's side. If he did not take this opportunity to get closer to the center and continued to stay in Luo Hai, it would be extremely difficult for him to make a comeback in the future.
Yuan Zhe's bastard son was causing trouble for him at this critical moment.
Yuan Tangzhong warned Yuan Zhe with his eyes. "I'll deal with you when we get back!"
Yuan Zhe was very dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't dare to go against his father, so he was extremely sullen!
Yuan Tangzhong wanted to change the topic and said to Old Mistress, "The Yuan Family will worship their ancestors during the Lantern Festival in a few days. Mother, do you still want to send an invitation to the Hu Family in East City?"
Dongcheng Hu Family, the only daughter of the old lady married there.
Old Madam Qin said, "Butler Fu will deal with them!"
"The Hu Family has an illustrious status at the moment. It's not appropriate to just send the butler. Why don't I make a trip myself and bring my younger sister and brother-in-law over to celebrate the Spring Lantern Festival with Mother?" Yuan Tangzhong continued.
Yuan Xuan sneered inwardly when he heard this. Yuan Tangzhong had seen the meager amount of power his aunt and uncle possessed and was actively trying to rope them in. It seemed like they were at their wit's end.
"It's up to you. I'm just worried that you'll be working too hard, so I asked the housekeeper to send an invitation. It would be best if you could go. Yuan Hongmin hasn't been back for two years. Ask her to bring the children back!"
