"Can we find a place to discuss slowly?" There are too many idle people here, it's really not a good place for conversation, Dongfang Zhao thought.
"Go to the second floor over there." Dongfang Zhao didn't know what Yuan Shuhuan was up to, but it seemed like a secretive matter, or else he wouldn't have gone out of his way to find a secluded spot. Yuan Shuhuan directly told Dongfang Zhao to go to the small building across from them, and in reality, there wasn't much secrecy to speak of - as long as one had the heart, whether it was Fei Mingxuan or Xi Jian, they could both hear their conversation.
But this was not what Dongfang Zhao wanted, although the small building on that side might not be safe either, giving Dongfang Zhao some comfort. Although Yuan Shuheng felt that he really didn't have anything to hide, and even if someone overheard him, it wouldn't matter. But if he were truly being eavesdropped on, Yuan Shuheng would get very angry, this was the anger of having his privacy invaded.
Yuan Shu Han came downstairs and walked to the other side of the building, where two people sat in Yuan Shu Han's specially designed workshop. Although most of the time it was used as a laboratory, now it also served some purpose.
"Now it can be said." Yuan Shu Huan said to Dong Fang Zhao, his tone was neither sad nor happy.
"This time it's my cousin, her face has been ill since childhood, and when I was injured, she also suffered a few knife wounds. This time I want to ask if Miss Huan can treat her, because as a woman, such things are even more inconvenient, and Zhao can't make this matter public either."
When Dongfang Zhao said this, Yuan Shu Han could hear the seriousness and guilt in his words, as well as a hint of hard-to-conceal emotions. "Do you like your cousin? Or is she also a distant relative?" Whether he liked her or not was no longer important to Yuan Shu Han; what mattered most was whether this cousin was just like Pei Ming Xuan - merely Dongfang Zhao's "distant" cousin.
"She was the daughter of Third Aunt, but not quite a first cousin, as she was the daughter of the previous wife in that household. Third Aunt was married to the old master as his second wife after the previous one died of illness." Dongfang Zhao said this with great certainty, and also revealed the girl's unfortunate family situation.
"I actually don't mind what my cousin looks like, but she uses this as an excuse to reject me, always saying that she's not good enough...not worthy of me."
Yuan Shu Han looked at Dongfang Zhao, such a tragic girl with a sad life story, and to be honest, he didn't have much sympathy for her. Perhaps it was also because Third Uncle's status was too high, if the girl came from a poor family, even if you were willing to marry her, would your family agree?
"Is your third aunt a concubine?" In fact, families with some social standing are reluctant to give their daughters to another family as a second wife. Although she would be a legitimate wife, she would always be inferior to the original wife. If the previous wife had not left any children behind, it would be easier to say, but if she did leave children behind, then those born afterwards would be of lower status.
"Direct descendant." Yu Shu Han's cleverness at this moment made Dong Fang Zhao feel a bit helpless. Previously, Pei Ming Xuan had easily agreed to help, but now his own cousin was trying to pry into their family secrets. It seemed that Yu Shu Han also remembered Pei Ming Xuan's matter deeply, and it was fortunate that he had spoken the truth this time without causing any trouble.
"You personally bring people over, and my small courtyard can't accommodate them. You'll have to either arrange a room for your cousin in the nearby area or bring her over for follow-up appointments at regular intervals, ideally every three days." Yuan Shu Huan didn't want to add more burden to his own household, let alone this cousin wasn't in the same situation as Pei Ming Xuan.
At that time, Pei Mingxuan's situation was quite critical. If he had been far away, he might have easily lost his life. Since Yuan Shuhuan agreed to treat Pei Mingxuan, he would naturally do his best.
"Thank you, Miss Huan." Yuan Shu Huan is now in a state of disrepair, and such small matters would not be refused to herself. This is also the reason why Dongfang Zhao dared to come to the door. Moreover, after seeing the situation here, Dongfang Zhao is even more confident. Although it can be said that such things are actually not very righteous, Dongfang Zhao can only take advantage of the fire to loot.
"Just don't cause me any more trouble." The girl's background, Yuan Shu had some idea about it, enough to make the Dong family marry their daughter off as a concubine. Judging from the Dong family's merchant mindset of not getting up early without profit, did they still need to guess what was going on here?
Moreover, the reason why the girl rejected Dongfang Zhao may not be exactly what Dongfang Zhao said now. Yuan Shuhan can only make wild guesses, and after meeting that girl, things are no longer under the control of Yuan Shuhan or Dongfang Zhao.
Moreover, Dongfang Zhao didn't seem like the legendary romantic. She had appearance problems since she was young and later got stabbed a few times. If such a girl could still make Dongfang Zhao unforgettable, it would be too special, so Yuan Shuhuan had some curiosity in her heart.
If Dongfang Zhao had proposed treating the girl when she was still in her restored state, Yuan Shuhan might have believed in Dongfang Zhao's sincerity. But now, under these circumstances, Yuan Shuhan wasn't quite sure about Dongfang Zhao's intentions. Although those things actually had nothing to do with Yuan Shuhan.
"There's another thing." Dongfang Zhao hesitated to speak, the strange fabrics below were really too exciting. The fabrics that came with a fragrance were truly rare and precious. To be honest, the business opportunity here was something that Dongfang Zhao would definitely make a fortune from if he operated it properly.
"Dongfang Gongzi really has nothing to do with the Three Treasures Hall, Dongfang Gongzi just speak up." Yuan Shuheng first ridiculed a sentence, although he also had to rely on Dongfang Zhao's place. I hope this Dongfang Gongzi is not too greedy, otherwise she would rather use her clothes as a backing for Pei Mingxuan, let alone Yu Tiancheng can be considered a ready-made living signboard."
"The fabrics under the girl, I don't know if they are for sale or not. If the girl is willing to pass on the secret recipe, Zhao is willing to pay a thousand gold coins for it." Han girl said that there was no basis for this, and such things were not necessarily kept in her own hands, Han girl should have had a plan in mind.
"You really are a lion with a big mouth, even the evil doctor wouldn't dare to open this topic with me." Yuan Shu Huan arrived beside Dong Fang Zhao and gently grasped his neck. "It's better not to be too greedy when being human, this thing won't cooperate or sell, did you understand, Young Master Dong?"
Dongfang Zhao subconsciously wanted to struggle, but found that the young child in front of him had suddenly turned into a huge mountain. The previous vows and confidence had all become illusory bubbles.
"Miss Han, if I were to spread the news about Xuan Wang's evil deeds here in your place, do you think you would still have peace of mind?" Dongfang Zhao couldn't admit defeat, as the profits at stake were too astonishing, so he couldn't give up easily.
Moreover, the highest official in this place is now living in the building, can Yuan Shuhuan kill people without any scruples? Yuan Shuhuan himself doesn't care, but he also has two young children with him, will he not care about their safety?
"There's a way to get rid of the Eastern family once and for all, so they'll never have another chance to catch their breath. This secret can be kept even longer, right? It's also a good way to shift attention, you say that after the Eastern family is exterminated, who will think about the whereabouts of King Xuan."
Yuan Shuheng smiled and said this sentence, very few people in this place knew about it. Originally, this place was not very prosperous either. Yuan Shuheng had chosen this place because it was quiet. No one would come to disturb his and the children's lives. If Dongfang Zhao used this to intimidate himself, then Yuan Shuheng really didn't mind destroying the entire Dongfang family.
"Han'niang might have used some small tricks, but annihilating the entire Dong family is something I don't believe." Dongfang Zhao managed to say this sentence completely and clearly, but unfortunately, his face, which was already flushed with anger, betrayed him. Dongfang Zhao wasn't someone who was weak and powerless either; he had a foundation in martial arts and physical training after all.
Normally wandering around the south and north, even if not considered a top martial artist, self-defense is no problem at all. However, under Yuan Shu Huan's hands, I feel like I have zero resistance.
"Hah! What are you waiting for? Doesn't the Eastern Young Master know that killing someone doesn't always require a knife?" As for eliminating the Eastern family, Yuan Shu Huan really didn't have any plans. Eliminating the Eastern family wouldn't bring any benefits, and doing it secretly would be pointless. Creating karma through murder wouldn't have any impact on Yuan Shu Huan either.
"Dongfang was taken aback, please forgive me, Miss Huan." Yuan Shu Huan's demeanor was too calm and collected, the four words "wait with bated breath" made Dongfang Zhao unable to hold on, without being 100% sure how Yuan Shu Huan could say such words. Although Dongfang Zhao didn't fully understand Yuan Shu Huan, she still knew some of his habits.
Although Yuan Shu Huan is not a straightforward person, the phrase "not speaking deceitfully" is extremely suitable for him. Things that are not absolutely certain, Yuan Shu Huan will never say out loud. Just now I thought that even if Yuan Shu Huan had the ability, he would still consider the current situation.
However, Xuan Wang is still here, and Dongfang Zhao really doesn't dare to bet the lives of his family members. Moreover, if it's a bit later, Dongfang's family will be in a situation that Dongfang Zhao can't imagine, but one thing is for sure, Dongfang Zhao himself won't be able to get out of this gate. That suffocating feeling, Dongfang Zhao feels like he'll never forget it in his life.
Yuan Shuheng eased up a bit, not wanting to kill him after all. This guy was still somewhat sensible at the moment. Yuan Shuheng's fingers stroked Dongfang Zhao's face, lightly tracing his eyebrows and eyes. "This is what I like! Although I don't like that you introduced someone you shouldn't have, there's no other trouble for now, so I'll let you off."
"Han Gongzhu doesn't think that if it's Xuan Wang, it's worth taking a gamble. Dongfang Zhao himself would never let go of such an opportunity, but the person in front of him clearly had different thoughts. Being able to take advantage of this opportunity to climb up to the victorious Xuan Wang, no matter how you look at it, is all profit and no harm."
"That's your idea, but since you've solved my urgent problem, I won't do anything too excessive to you." Yuan Shu Huan paused for a moment, thinking about whether or not to follow the original plan and promote his clothing store. After all, such a good thing, he believed that Dong Fang Zhao wouldn't dare refuse now either.
Yuan Shu Huan turned around and prepared to walk back to his own seat, but Dongfang Zhao behind him made a move.
