Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy
Chapter 68 Yangcheng Sheng Family
The news that the second young lady of the Bai family had fought with Zheng Jiufu in the theater for Chunxiao, a famous actress from the Xiyan troupe, spread throughout He'an County in less than half a day.
"Huh? A fight? Did anyone say who won?" Nanchun put down the book and asked curiously.
Ah Fu was slightly startled, scratched his head, and said, "That's not the case."
Nanchun curled her lips, looked at Bai Xun and said, "Then this must be a rumor spread by our shameless nephew."
"Rumors? That's not true?" Ah Fu said in surprise.
Nanchun chuckled and said, "Why? Do you think I like to fight?"
After he finished speaking, he saw Bai Xun and Afu looking at him with certainty, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Okay, I know that my image of always fighting with others has been deeply ingrained in everyone's minds. But this time, I really didn't fight. If you don't believe me, ask your second young master."
Bai Xun nodded.
"Just tell me, how is it possible? It's all for an actor."
There were rumors flying everywhere, and Ah Fu was very anxious. After hearing what Nanchun said, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I hit him." Bai Xun said lightly.
"Ah? What?" Ah Fu widened his eyes, looking shocked. He had never expected this to happen.
Nanchun was amused by his funny appearance.
"Your Second Young Master took action because that shameless guy wanted to hit me."
"What? Is there such a thing? That Second Young Master fought well, brilliantly!" Ah Fu said indignantly, "What the hell! How dare he fight with the Second Young Mistress? Has he forgotten how servile he was when he ran to the Bai family's gate to beg for money when he was down and out?
If the patriarch hadn't been kindhearted and helped him out because his mother had some connection with the Bai family, this remote relative of the Bai family would have been torn into pieces by the casino people long ago! He took advantage of the Bai family's influence to make a name for himself, and now he dares to show his teeth to the Second Young Madam! He's really a dog that can't be tamed!
Nanchun looked at Bai Xun and said with a smile, "So that's how my second uncle came to be."
"Second Young Master, Second Young Madam, please don't take it lightly! Zheng Jiufu is a scoundrel! Alas, I said I wanted to stay by your side and serve you, but you didn't let me. From now on, I will follow you no matter what you say!" Ah Fu was extremely scared.
"There's no need to be so nervous. Your second young master is a martial artist."
"It's easy to dodge a spear, but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. Zheng Jiufu is a sinister villain! No, I have to tell the guards to be more careful on night patrols."
After Ah Fu finished speaking, he hurried out.
"Zheng Jiufu's brains are pretty quick. He knew he couldn't offend you openly, so he pushed me to the forefront. The second young master of the Bai family's wife had a big fight with him over a corner.
"Doesn't this mean I'm breaking the rules? Not only am I showing my face outside as a man's wife, but I'm also vying for favors with others for a role, clearly cheating on you?" Nanchun said with a smile.
Bai Xun poured him a cup of tea and handed him a piece of red bean paste cake.
"It's easy to cure him."
Nan Chun waved his hand and said, "Since he dared to do this, there must be someone supporting him behind the scenes.
Let's wait and see. If it's just fabricating rumors about me, forget it. There's no need to get into a fight with the people behind him over such a trivial matter."
Bai Xun frowned slightly and said, "How can this be called a small matter? You and I are one. We prosper together and suffer together."
Nanchun smiled and said, "If a dog bites you, you can't bite the dog back, right? Come on, don't let a mangy dog ruin your good mood! Isn't there a temple fair tomorrow?"
"Yes, it was organized by the He'an County Chamber of Commerce."
"The Chamber of Commerce has spent a lot of money to hire the Xiyan Band and organize a temple fair. Is there any good news?" Nanchun asked.
"It is said that he got in touch with the Sheng family in Yangcheng." Bai Xun said after taking a sip of tea.
"Sheng family?" Nanchun's heart skipped a beat and his expression became complicated.
"Well, the Sheng family is a business tycoon in Yangcheng. They own textile factories, coal companies, tobacco companies, transportation companies, and have also invested in finance and real estate."
Nanchun pursed her lips, pretending to be casual, and asked, "Who is the head of the Sheng family now?"
"Old Master Sheng is now just a figurehead, having actually retired behind the scenes. The main manager is the eldest master of the Sheng family, and the second master is in charge of finance and real estate. The third master of the Sheng family passed away early, and the fourth master of the Sheng family..."
Bai Xun paused for a moment because Nanchun's gaze was too fiery.
He couldn't help but smile and said, "Are you quite interested in these?"
Nan Chun coughed awkwardly and said, "I've occasionally heard people say that the Sheng family's power division was a big deal. But I don't know what the outcome will be, so I'm a little curious."
In fact, he didn't know the Sheng family at all before. After listening to what Bai Xun said, he guessed that this would happen.
Being a wealthy family with many children, there will definitely be a struggle for power and profit.
"It was indeed a big fight, but it wasn't the kind of fight where brothers were fighting and hurting each other. It was the kind where the Fourth Master of the Sheng family was going crazy himself," said Bai Xun.
Fourth Master Sheng!
Nanchun trembled all over. Whether in the previous life or this life, this person was the key to finding his grandfather.
"Oh? What is he doing?" Nanchun pretended to be calm and took a sip of tea.
"It's a long story. The first and second masters of the Sheng family were born to Mr. Sheng's wife. The fourth and third masters were born to his concubine. A wealthy family like the Sheng family is very particular about the hierarchy between legitimate and illegitimate children.
Coupled with the fact that his concubine died early, you can probably imagine what kind of life the Third and Fourth Masters Sheng led under the control of the First Wife. Fortunately, the First and Second Masters of the Sheng family were not harsh towards their two half-brothers, but they were not close to them either.
Perhaps because they had been guarded against by the eldest wife since childhood, the third and fourth masters Sheng had never been involved in the Sheng family's business. When I followed my grandfather and brother to Yangcheng, I only met the eldest and second masters of the Sheng family.
It was said that Mr. Sheng San was a playboy, not interested in business, but only in traveling. Even after getting married, he never returned home. He died in an accident at the age of 26.
Fourth Master Sheng was studying abroad at the time. Upon returning two years later, he learned his brother had passed away. He always believed there was something fishy about Third Master Sheng's death and devoted all his resources to investigating. He spent several years investigating this outside world, but one day, he suddenly returned to Yangcheng and caused a stir at the Sheng family.
Later, Mr. Sheng decided to let him manage transportation. At that time, the Sheng family did not have its own transportation routes. If they were in charge of transportation, it was just to pay tolls.
But no one could have imagined that in just a few years, Fourth Master Sheng would have established his own land and water transport routes. Today, Fourth Master Sheng has become a renowned transport tycoon in Yangcheng. A large portion of our Bai family's goods must go through his route."
After hearing this, Nanchun seemed to be thinking about something.
Why does grandpa have contact with such a big shot?
And as far as he could remember, his grandfather had never been to Yangcheng.
