Supreme Crazy Wife Chapter 918 - A Lure (5)

Chapter 918: A Lure (5)

“Why are you crying?” The Patriarch could not stand it anymore. He was very annoyed now. He hated seeing others cry, especially when it was an old man’s tears.
“I, I…” The Head Butler hesitated, finding it difficult to speak.
“If you have something to say, just say it. You’re stuttering like a woman.” The Patriarch was losing his patience.
“I went to deliver money and herbs to Ersha just now, but…” The head butler still didn’t dare to say anything, so he couldn’t continue.
“Did he bully you?” The Patriarch frowned, looking a little unhappy.
“No, I met the Matriarch on the way. She took a portion of the payment for Zheng Ersha, so he was very angry and kicked me out,” the head butler mustered his courage and said.
“Damn it, what does this incompetent old woman want? And you, you’re a dead person! You’ll give it to her just because she wants it?” After scolding his old hag, the Patriarch started scolding the butler.
“Patriarch, she’s the Matriarch. Do you think I would dare to refuse her?” the head butler said aggrievedly. He was very aggrieved, and he couldn’t help but feel uneasy. ‘You can’t even control your own wife, and you only know how to scold innocent people like us. What kind of ability is that?!’
“Butler, tell the Matriarch to return the money she took. Otherwise, otherwise, I’ll divorce her!” The Patriarch said ruthlessly.
“Patriarch, it’s not appropriate for me to convey that!” The butler said awkwardly. He really did not want to get involved!
/
“Patriarch, it is indeed inappropriate for the Head Butler to convey that,” the Sixth Elder said helplessly.
“Then I’ll go tell her myself. Sixth Elder, go and talk to Zheng Ersha!” The Patriarch calmed down a little and took a deep breath.
“Patriarch, go find the matriarch first! I’ll look for Zheng Ersha after I have the results.” The Sixth Elder said very implicitly. Sigh! He couldn’t go empty-handed! Otherwise, he would end up like the Head Butler.
“That’s the only way,” the Patriarch said helplessly. Then, he stood up and left the main hall.
The next day.
The Sixth Elder specially brought a few elders to look for Zheng En. Moreover, they conveyed the Patriarch’s intentions and asked Zheng En to stay for a few days. They would definitely pay the rest of the money.
Zheng En had also told them very clearly that he would give them a week at most. If they did not see any other remuneration after a week, he would leave the Wen family.
The Sixth Elder agreed readily and promised to gather the money within a week.
After Zheng En sent the Sixth Elder and the others away, he pestered Ye Chen and asked…
“Are we sure we’ll leave within the week?” Zheng En asked quietly, staring at Ye Chen with shining eyes. Ye Chen was the one who had asked him to give the Wen family a week to talk.
“Yes, I’ve arranged everything. However, in order not to arouse the Wen family’s suspicions, I’ll find a way to send Xue’er out first. We’ll leave a few days later,” Ye Chen explained. After all, with their current strength, it was unwise to openly make an enemy of the Wen, so they would have to outwit them.
“Yes, but what about that person? It will be difficult to hide from him, right?” Zheng En said worriedly.
“Don’t worry,” Ye Chen said confidently. “The man will be out of here in less than two days.”
“Hehe! That’s great,” Zheng En said happily. It had been a few days since he came to the Wen family. They did not dare to leave this place to see Feng Da and the others, afraid that it would bring them trouble. Now, they could finally leave.
As they were talking, the small black phoenix flew through the window again. Seeing this, Zheng En tactfully left the room.
The little black phoenix circled Ye Chen a few times, then chirped softly and flew away.
After the little phoenix left, Ye Chen’s lips curled into a smile. ‘Hehe! The gods are on my side! The news the little phoenix brought is wonderful for them.’
That was because the little phoenix had just told him that An You and Xue’er’s beasts had all come out of seclusion.
With An You out of seclusion, Xue’er’s sealed mystic energy could be unsealed, and with Dazzle out of seclusion, there was a higher chance that Xue’er would leave.
However, he did not expect the man to undo Xue’er’s sealed mystic energy before he left. This made him secretly vigilant.
Two days later, the man received a message from his Patriarch asking him to return quickly. He said that it was important, so he left Divine Continent in a hurry.
Late that night, Leng Ruoxue asked Dazzle to cast an invisibility spell on her and the freak. Then, the two of them swaggered out of the Wen family mansion.
After sending Xue’er to Feng Da and the others, Ye Chen immediately brought Dazzle back to the Wen family. After all, they still had to stay in the Wen family for a few days.
Leng Ruoxue’s disappearance did not cause much of a stir in the Wen family because they were all focused on detoxifying their clansmen. Leng Ruoxue was dispensable to them to begin with. Moreover, she was brought back by the Old Ancestor. Now that the Old Ancestor had left, it was natural for him to take her away, so they were very calm.
Leng Ruoxue returned to Feng Da and the others. Everyone was very happy, but because they were in the Wen family’s Divine Realm, they could not show too much excitement.
At the temporary residence of Leng Ruoxue and the others, the door was closed. Everyone was gathered in the courtyard, staring at her intently.
“Have you seen enough?” Leng Ruoxue felt everyone’s burning gazes with their pupils dilated.
“Miss, we’ve decided to cultivate diligently. We must protect you well in the future.” Feng Da was the first to speak.
“Miss, we missed you so much.” Lü Tao and Cui Zhu pounced to Leng Ruoxue’s side and grabbed her arm tightly.
“Silly girls, aren’t I fine? Don’t cry!” Leng Ruoxue coaxed helplessly.
“Xue’er, I have to cultivate hard too,” Leng Ruohan said unhappily. Xue’er had been captured, but he could not do anything as her Elder Brother. Now, he could not help her take revenge. This difference in strength, this sense of powerlessness that he had never felt before, had been gripping his heart since the day Xue’er was captured. It made his heart extremely heavy. Even though he knew that Xue’er would protect him but he was her elder brother! It was his responsibility to protect his little sister!
“Big Brother!” Leng Ruoxue’s beautiful eyes were filled with tears. She didn’t know what to say because she knew that even though she was the one who was captured, the people around her must be even more sad than her. She felt the same helplessness.
“Grandpa.” Leng Ruoxue turned her gaze to her silent grandfather and the others.
“Xue’er, it’s good that you’re back,” Leng Qingtian said after a long while. Even though he felt very aggrieved, his precious granddaughter had finally returned to his side. This was better than anything else. He would never allow his granddaughter encounter something like that again unless it was over his dead body.
“Girl, you’ve suffered,” Old Man Zao said emotionally with tears in his eyes.
“I’m alright,” Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile. Well! Now that she thought about it, other than being injured that time, she really didn’t suffer much in the Wen family. Sun Tao was forced to cultivate, so even if he wanted to harass her, he couldn’t. And the Wen family was busy detoxifying their poison, so other than not being able to move freely and not seeing her grandfather, the freak, and the others, she really didn’t seem to have anything to nitpick about.
“Master, we will also cultivate well and protect you.” At this moment, Charm, who had been nestled in Leng Ruoxue’s arms, couldn’t help but say. They didn’t expect that their master would be captured while they had been in seclusion for a while. Sigh! Fortunately, their master was fine now. Otherwise, they would blame themselves to death.
“Yes, yes, lovely master. Darling has to protect you well,” Darling agreed.
For a moment, all the beasts rushed to express their determination to Leng Ruoxue, and the entire courtyard became lively…
In the next few days, Leng Ruoxue stayed in their rented courtyard and waited for the freak to meet her.
At the Wen family mansion.
Ye Chen and Zheng En’s residence.
At this moment, there were still two days before the deadline they had given the Wen family.
“Hehe! We can leave in two days. That’s great.” Zheng En’s mood improved as the time approached.
If it weren’t for the fact that he didn’t want to make an enemy of the Wen family, they would have left long ago. Well! He wondered if they should thank the Matriarch of the Wen family. If it weren’t for the fact that the Matriarch had robbed the money that the Wen family and was prepared to pay him, he wouldn’t know what excuse to leave! Moreover, there were too many people in the Wen family, so this matter naturally couldn’t be hidden.
