The top family in Jinling is also one of the five wealthy families in Jinling. It is said that they are descendants of Yuan Shao during the Three Kingdoms era. I don't know whether it is true or not.
However, the Yuan family is indeed equivalent to a local emperor-like existence in Jinling.
Business involves all aspects, whether underworld or white, there are a large number of contacts, even people in the officialdom have to fawn over and please the Yuan family when they see them.
The Yuan family is the head of the five wealthy families in Jinling.
It is said that the Yuan family is so powerful because of the support of the Yinwu family.
The old man of the Yuan family, Yuan Hongyuan, had three sons. The eldest, Yuan Cang, was Yuan Wenting's biological father, but he had died unjustly in prison.
The second eldest brother, Yuan Zhen, is currently the head of the Yuan family and the chairman of the Yuan Group. He is worth a fortune and is a prominent figure in Jinling. You can see him on TV almost every day.
The third youngest, Yuan Tianze, was in charge of politics and law and had great power in the officialdom.
This is the main line of the Yuan family. As for the other branches, they are also branching out. Some are doing business, some are engaged in politics, and some are joining the army, and they have all made great achievements.
The Yuan family is very large, with dozens of people in the main line and branches combined.
It can be said that everyone in Jinling knows about the Yuan family.
At this time, Chu Yun accompanied Yuan Wenting to stand at the foot of a hillside. Looking up, there were buildings on the hillside. From a distance, the pavilions and pavilions were very exquisite.
That is the Yuan family's mansion.
The Yuan family's mansion occupies a large area and is built around half of a mountain. It can be said to be extremely luxurious. The mountain is quite high. Standing here, you can undoubtedly have a panoramic view of Jinling.
This also reflects the Yuan family's ambition to be the emperor of Jinling.
A road was built from the foot of the mountain to the mountain. There were stone ladders on both sides of the road. The two people climbed up the ladder.
Yuan Wenting was full of thoughts, while Chu Yun was admiring the surrounding scenery with great interest. To be honest, this place is far away from the urban area, quiet and unique, and it can be regarded as a geomantic treasure.
Even Chu Yun felt that the spiritual energy here was stronger than other places. People who lived here for a long time would have better luck and health than others.
When the two of them reached the top of the mountain, the spacious mansion appeared in front of them, just like a Suzhou garden, with cornices, carved beams and painted buildings, fully reflecting the characteristics of Jiangnan.
At this time, the courtyard of the Yuan family was very lively.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and many members of the Yuan family have come back from all over to gather together. This is also a characteristic of the Yuan family.
I attach great importance to this kind of traditional festival. As long as it is a holiday like this, I will basically go back to this house.
Before he even got close, he heard noises coming from inside.
Chu Yun's spiritual consciousness swept over and saw several tables of banquets set up in the courtyard. The juniors were all drinking and fisting in the courtyard.
The elders were eating and chatting in the hall.
There were bodyguards guarding the gate. When they saw Chu Yun and Yuan Wenting, the two bodyguards frowned. One of them said, "I'm sorry, you two. This is a private residence and is not open to the public. Please go back."
Yuan Wenting said: "I am a member of the Yuan family. Please go and spread the word that Yuan Cang's daughter is back."
The two bodyguards were stunned for a moment and looked at them.
They didn't know much about the Yuan family, but they also knew that there was no one named Yuan Cang in the Yuan family, but judging from their extraordinary temperaments, they didn't look like liars.
The bodyguard on the left said: "Please wait a moment." After saying that, he hurried in.
"What? Yuan Cang's daughter!"
After hearing the bodyguard's report, the people sitting in the hall became uneasy. Yuan Hongyuan stood up with a loud noise, but soon sat down slowly again and said in a deep voice: "Let her in."
Yuan Zhen and Yuan Tianze had gleaming eyes.
Soon, Chu Yun and Yuan Wenting stepped into the courtyard.
The juniors who were drinking outside all turned to look, and one of them shouted: "Who are you? Why did you come to my house? Why don't you get out quickly?"
This man's name is Yuan Hai, and he is the son of the second eldest brother Yuan Zhen. He is the only male in the family, so he is very favored and is used to being arrogant and domineering.
Yuan Wenting ignored it and walked towards the hall.
"Fuck! You're deaf, right?"
Yuan Hai slammed the table and stood up. The other juniors also stood up. This was the first time they had encountered such a situation. Someone actually dared to break into the door of their Yuan family.
"Let her in."
At this moment, Yuan Hongyuan's voice came from the hall.
Yuan Hai frowned and snorted coldly.
Yuan Wenting and Chu Yun entered the hall, and other juniors of the Yuan family followed suit.
In the hall, the wine tables have been removed.
The patriarch Yuan Hongyuan sat on the main seat, and on both sides of him were two older men, Yuan Hongyuan's third and fifth brothers.
These three people are now the highest-ranking members of the entire Yuan family.
Below are sitting Yuan Zhen, Yuan Tian and others. The main veins and branch veins are added together, and there are dozens of people in total.
Everyone stared at Yuan Wenting who came in.
These older generations all know that Yuan Cang had a daughter, but she disappeared not long after she was born.
Everyone thought that Yuan Wenting was dead. It is said that it was because a Feng Shui master calculated that Yuan Cang's daughter was a broom star and that keeping her alive would bring disaster to the Yuan family.
A bodyguard was specially assigned to kill Yuan Wenting, but the bodyguard never showed up again. Yuan's family members all thought that Yuan Hongyuan should be the one to kill Yuan Wenting.
More than twenty years have passed since this incident, and everyone has forgotten about it. Unexpectedly, a woman appears now and claims to be Yuan Cang's daughter.
"Are you Yuan Wenting?"
Yuan Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Yes, I am Yuan Wenting, the daughter of the Yuan family." Yuan Wenting said loudly.
The corners of Yuan Hai's eyes twitched slightly as he followed in.
Then I heard a female voice say, "You said she is the eldest daughter, so she is the eldest daughter. Do you have any evidence?"
The speaker was Yuan Tian’s daughter Yuan Xueli.
Hearing this, Yuan Wenting was silent. She really had no evidence to prove that she was the daughter of the Yuan family, but now she was not here to recognize her ancestors.
It doesn't matter to Yuan Wenting whether the Yuan family is a daughter or not. What she wants now is to find out what happened to Ding Yongguo.
She looked at Yuan Hongyuan and said, "Did you send someone to kill Ding Yongguo?"
Yuan Hongyuan had a displeased look on his face. Being questioned like this by a junior made him embarrassed.
But before he opened his mouth, Yuan Tian had already scolded him: "You bastard, if you are really my eldest brother's daughter, shouldn't you kowtow to say hello to our elders when you see them? You actually came here to question your grandfather for committing murder."
"That's right. Regardless of whether you are true or not, since you said you are the Yuan family's daughter and you have not seen each other for more than 20 years, shouldn't you kowtow and say hello to us elders when we meet for the first time?"
"It's just that this person came from a mother without any father's teachings. I don't know where he came from. He also wants to pretend to be a descendant of the Yuan family. This is because he is interested in the Yuan family's property."
"Old man, according to me, she shouldn't be let in. If she is really Yuan Wenting, wouldn't it ruin the luck of my Yuan family?"
"..."
All the elders were sarcastic and didn't behave like elders at all.
Yuan Wenting ignored these voices, but stared at Yuan Hongyuan, her biological grandfather, and said word by word: "Tell me, did you send someone to kill my grandfather?"
She has a rising momentum, and she has no feelings for the Yuan family. She only wants to find out the truth of the matter this time.
Chu Yun didn't say anything and was going to leave it to Yuan Wenting to handle it herself. He came here to ensure Yuan Wenting's safety.
Besides, these are Yuan Wenting's relatives, so it would be inappropriate for him to take action.
Yuan Wenting is already at the peak of Qi refining, and Chu Yun has also taught her martial arts and techniques. It is not a problem to deal with these ordinary people.
