Summary of the previous chapter: Although Ma Xiaoquan cured Dongfang Qinglang’s strange disease, he only treated the symptoms but not the root cause. He had to go back to ask for help...
Outside the study, the spies sent by Dongfang Qiang and his son heard the conversation between Dongfang Ye and his daughter.
The spy moved slightly and put his ear to the door panel...
In the study, Dongfang Ye and his daughter did not realize that the spies were outside the door at all.
Dongfang Ye said: "Qingxue, the sunny situation has become a little more stable. Well, you should pay more attention to his situation these days."
Dongfang Qingxue nodded: "It's father."
Dongfang Qingxue secretly sighed in her heart, as a daughter, she didn't know what her father was thinking.
My father has been thinking about becoming the head of the Dongfang family for a long time. However, my grandfather has always been in good health and has no intention of abdicating. Moreover, my grandfather has publicly stated that once he abdicates, he will definitely
The position of the head of the family will be handed over to the next generation, that is, she will choose from several children of her generation.
However... due to the fact that she is a girl, Dongfang Qingxue cannot inherit the great legacy of the Dongfang family. This means that even if grandpa wants to choose from her generation, he will only consider among men.
Outside the study, the spies had quietly left. When Dongfang Qingxue walked out of the study, there was already silence.
...
Dongfang Qingxue walked towards her boudoir, feeling unwilling and mostly depressed.
"Qingxue..." A tender voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
Dongfang Qingxue raised her head and flattened her mouth: "Mother..."
"Don't say anything anymore. Let's sleep with my mother tonight. Mother and daughter haven't had a good chat for a long time..."
"Um"
...
Half an hour later, Dongfang Qiang entered the house.
"Is this really the case?" Dongfang Qiang knocked on the table rhythmically. In front of him, half-kneeling was a wretched man.
"Second Master, it is absolutely true. I heard it very clearly. It seems that Ma Xiaoquan has left, but he did not publicly inform him."
"Well" Dongfang Qiang and his son beside him looked at each other, "It seems that Ma Xiaoquan must have a guilty conscience and there is nothing we can do about it?"
"In reply to the second master, I think so, but Master Qinglang is still in their hands..."
Dongfang Qiang waved his hand: "It's okay. Qingliang will always come back. It's just that his illness... ugh"
"Dad, I think tomorrow, let's go get Qinglang back early tomorrow morning, right?" Dongfang Qiang's son said.
Dongfang Qiang glanced at him and cursed: "You want to come back? For what reason? Do you and I still want to be infected with that terrible disease?"
"But Dad, Dongfang Ye said that the sunny situation has stabilized..."
"Humph, can you believe the bullshit of that bastard Dongfang Ye? Why don't you use your brain? You know how to eat it in one day. Look at you, you look like a pig... By the way, you will eat it in just one day."
Go down and write a letter to Qingkong and ask him to come back."
"Dad, Qingkong is still studying at the Zi Family Academy, and the old man Dongfang Lie, the head of the Dongfang Family, is also here."
"Well," Dongfang Qiang frowned slightly and murmured, "Yes, the eldest brother is still there. Well, let's not write it now. In this way, we will go to Dongfang Ye to ask for someone in two days. You can
Find a way to meet with the Zhao family and see if we can get the antidote."
"It's dad!"
...
Three days later, Dongfang Qiang led a large group of people to the gate of the Dongfang Family mansion.
"Dongfang Ye, open the door for me!" Dongfang Qiang slammed the door and shouted.
The door opened with a creak. Dongfang Ye walked out of the door and said respectfully: "Second uncle, you are here so early in the morning. Do you have anything?"
"Dongfang Ye, stop talking nonsense and hand over Qingkong to me!"
Dongfang Ye frowned slightly and said, "Second uncle, Qingkong has been isolated. If you take it back rashly, I'm afraid..."
"Humph, Qingkong is my biological grandson. I can do whatever I want. I don't feel at ease if I leave you here."
Dongfang Ye sighed: "Second uncle, I forgive my nephew for having difficulty obeying my order."
"Dongfang Ye, if you don't want to hand over my grandson, you might have been executed by Ma Xiaoquan, right? Tell me where Ma Xiaoquan is now and ask him to come out to see me."
Dongfang Ye smiled and said: "Fourth Young Master Ma has been thinking of ways to treat our illnesses. He hasn't slept for several nights. He is resting in his room at the moment. If my second uncle wants to see me, I can see him some other time."
"Nonsense! Ma Xiaoquan is not here at all."
Dongfang Ye's face darkened: "Second uncle, it seems that the presence or absence of Fourth Master Ma has nothing to do with you, right? At first you were afraid of being infected with the disease, so you insisted on sending Qinglang here, and now you are clamoring for someone else.
,Second uncle, nephew, I have to suspect that you have other plans."
"You!" Dongfang Qiang snorted coldly, "Dongfang Ye, you are so presumptuous!"
Dongfang Ye did not show any weakness and blocked the door, saying: "I can be as bold as I want. Anyway, if you want to go in and ask for someone today, uncle, just step over me."
As soon as Dongfang's night talk ended, Dongfang Qiang hesitated.
Although Dongfang Qiang is the elder, Dongfang Ye is his eldest brother's son. Besides, his original intention was just to see if Ma Xiaoquan was there. Judging from Dongfang Ye's refusal to let him in, Ma Xiaoquan must be gone.
"Humph Dongfang Ye, you're being cruel, let's go!" Dongfang Qiang waved his hand and led his servants away.
...
In the next few days, Dongfang Qiang came with his men to ask for people. As time went by, Dongfang Ye also understood Dongfang Qiang's motives. Of course, Ma Xiaoquan was indeed not here. Even if he knew that his second uncle's motives were here, he could not do anything.
action.
Another two days have passed...
At noon that day, a mysterious young man was welcomed into Dongfang Qiang's mansion.
"Young Master Wen Qiang, you have come in person... It really makes this humble house shine." Dongfang Qiang said to the short-haired young man in front of him with a flattering look on his face.
"Haha, Second Master Dongfang... I heard that an epidemic has recently occurred in your Dongfang family."
"To be honest, it is indeed true. Master Wen Qiang, since you are here, can you give us the antidote to cure the disease? Half of the people in the small town of my Dongfang family have died. If this continues,
I am afraid......"
"Well, I can't control this matter. When you begged me, I warned you again and again, but you didn't listen and insisted on spreading all the medicinal powder into the well. Now that it's fine, I don't have an antidote to cure the disease...
...According to me, the best and wisest thing you can do now is to pack up and leave here immediately."
"Ah? Young Master Wen Qiang, this...this is absolutely impossible. My Dongfang family's foundation is here, how can I..."
"I'm just suggesting that if you don't leave, you'll all die."
Dongfang Qiang was anxious: "Master Wen Qiang, are you being unreasonable? Killing a donkey and killing a donkey. I'm afraid it will be bad for everyone if this matter spreads, right?"
"Hmph, Dongfang Qiang, what do you think my Zhao family is? You can use it if you want? I understand your thoughts very well. You want that idiot Dongfang Qingkong to be the next head of your Dongfang family. You can control it easily, right?
