It's late at night, but the lights are still on in Ruoshuiju Flower Hall.
"Ah Yue, although you and your father have just said this, I still want to ask, do you really want to inherit Kunwu City? Although Kunwu City is a new city with only a few hundred years of history, its scale can be compared with
The thousand-year-old ancient cities Xuanjian City and Tianshui City are on a par with each other. They involve competing interests of all parties and are complicated. You yourself have been killed once, do you know the risks involved?"
Tang Yue solemnly said: "Mother, I know that both Xuanyuan Mountain and Wuji Mountain want to take Kunwu City into their hands, and my father still has the ambition to become the largest sect, so he has suppressed you over the years, but he is reluctant to let go.
The benefits brought by Wuji Mountain are both necessary and desirable. I also know that the reason why my father values Tang Wan is because he wants her to win Chu Tianshu's heart and coax Chu Tianshu into marrying into his wife. But let me tell you, my father and Chu Tianshu
It’s not certain who will be comforted and who will be used.”
Shui Yingrou was surprised in her heart, and then smiled bitterly. Her daughter was so young, but she was so aware of the situation in the city. When she was eleven or twelve years old, she was picking birds with her senior brother and picking flowers with her cousin. How could she have figured this out?
It was because she failed to protect her daughter that A Yue had to grow up, protect herself, and even protect others.
This is because Shui Yingrou blames herself too much. She is too kind to both the original owner and the current Tang Yue. It's just that Tang Yue had another life, and his mind has long been mature, and he is used to relying on himself in everything.
"Okay, now that you have made up your mind, your grandfather and I will fully support you. In this way, even the Shui family will put aside their prejudices and fully support your rise to power. I will write them a formal letter."
The big family protects shortcomings and will be angry with Tang Yue because of his legitimate son's accident, but it pays more attention to interests and will put aside hatred for the sake of long-term interests.
"Thank you, mother, for helping me."
She has no sense of belonging or honor towards the Tang family. Of course it is because of Tang Wenhua, but more importantly because her soul comes from the modern society of the earth.
Although this matter is very unfair, the mother and daughter did not think about achieving fairness, but joined in the unfair status game. There is nothing pitiful about that.
Wan'er can only rely on her marriage to gain status, and in the future she can only count on her son to bring her glory.
"Mother, I will definitely live up to your trust." Of course, the higher the cultivation level of my mother, the better.
Shui Yingrou looked solemn. From now on, she regarded Tang Yue as the heir who had to shoulder important responsibilities. Naturally, she would not just let her be happy as before.
"That bitch, because of her connections, actually deceived me to this point."
Tang Yue is not as persistent as Tang Wenhua, and has no ambition to establish the largest sect. He only hopes that the people in the city can live a better life, that the mortals can live and work in peace and contentment, and that the monks can improve their cultivation and be closer to the great road, which is good. So.
She is not afraid that Kunwu City will become a subsidiary city of Wuji Mountain in the future.
At the banquet, Kunwu Patriarch and Duan Yingda were suppressing him, but he couldn't even utter a word of objection. From tomorrow on, the news that Tang Yue might become the young city lord of Kunwu City will spread throughout the Liuzhou Continent.
In the original book, Shui Yingrou did not have the opportunity to advance to become a god, so when Chu Tianshu retaliated, she had no power to parry. If she had developed the ability to become a god, not only Chu Tianshu, but also other Xiaoxiao disciples would want to attack her.
, also need to weigh it.
"Mother, do you want me to help you take charge of Qionghua Pavilion temporarily?"
She vowed many years ago that her daughter would not lose to any young lady from a wealthy family. For this reason, she flattered and deliberately tried to please not only the city lord, but also Zixiao Mansion and Xuanyuan Mountain.
Zhuang Qiaohui promised her daughter: "Don't worry, I will find a way. I will find a way now. This Kunwu City will definitely be yours."
Shui Yingrou is still a little worried. After all, her daughter is too young. Although she has become enlightened for some reason, she has too little experience in life.
"It's right for me to help you. You have decided to fight for the position, so let's start from now on. I just have something to give you."
Palace Master Cao also has other ambitions. He is not satisfied with being just a palace master, but now his name is not justified and he needs to plan carefully.
But today, the illusion she created was completely shattered. Tang Yue dared to say openly that she wanted to be the heir, but her Wan'er did not have the identity and status to say such a thing.
There has long been separated from the clan society, and everyone is proud to be a member of society, rather than being proud to be a member of a certain family.
Besides, if she can't take care of her well, she can still use her young age as an excuse, which is better than Chu Tianshu, who has never taken care of anything for a day.
After years of painstaking planning, she poisoned the mistress, gave spiritual stones and treasures, and even stole things from the city lord's mansion...
Besides, becoming an affiliated member does not mean that the people in the city become second-class citizens. It is just that the city lord has to pay an annual tribute every year. However, the benefits of being attached to the big sect are also obvious.
Both Jiancheng and Tianshui City, a subsidiary city of Wuji Mountain, are much richer than Kunwu City.
In this way, Qionghua Pavilion will gradually put pressure on Zixiao's house, and he will be inferior to women. How can he endure it?
"You're right." Shui Yingrou comforted her heart. Unknowingly, her daughter was already someone who could help her.
Tang Yue held Shui Yingrou's hand and said, "Mother, you'd better go into retreat now. You have reached the point where you have to retreat. You cannot delay this matter any longer, otherwise it will damage your Taoist heart. This is one of the reasons.
.They are not prepared enough within two months and cannot carry out their poisonous plan. By the time they are ready, you are already a cultivator of the God Transformation. With the deterrent, it will be even harder to harm me. This is the second point."
Tang Yue asked curiously: "What is it?"
"Are you sure you can do it? You just made the bold statement that if you want to win the position of city lord, Palace Master Cao will find a way to deal with you. Now he has to manage Qionghua Pavilion for two months, which gives him a good opportunity to frame you.
"
It's just that others have more choices than the mother and son from the beginning.
Over at Zixiao Mansion, the master of the palace, Cao Yanjun, had not been able to control his emotions like today for a long time and broke a cup.
"Besides, it's not necessarily who has the chance." Tang Yue is confident in herself. There are many people who will help her, and she has many spiritual stones in her hands. It is still possible to produce miracles with great force.
"Mother, she actually wants to compete for the position of Young City Lord. What should I do? Will I lose everything?" Tang Wan's expression showed fear and worry that he had not seen for many years, which made Zhuang Qiaohui feel a pain in his heart.
"Yes, I will hand over the financial power of the city to you and ask your senior brother to help you. I hope that in two months, Qionghua Pavilion will have less power and you can win the hearts and minds of the people in the city."
Those who stayed up all night were the West Courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion and the Zixiao Mansion.
In fact, her plan was very good. Letting Tang Wan marry a promising man and use some resources was the best she could think of.
There are many changes in the city within a few years, let alone thousands of years. No one can say with certainty whether it will rise or fall. It is more practical to do a good job every day and focus on the present.
"I already felt my realm was loosening three months ago, and I wanted to break through the ranks and enter the Divine Transformation Stage. However, the city was busy with affairs. If I handed over the Qionghua Pavilion, I would lose a lot of power to the Zixiao Mansion, so I suppressed it for a while.
I can no longer hold myself back these days. I am going to retreat for two months to reach the realm, so you have two months of rest."
His little idea of suppressing Shui Yingrou through Tang Wenhua was like a fish in water, and the Zixiao Mansion had a tendency to overpower the City Lord's Mansion. The people in the city would rather offend the City Lord's Mansion than Zixiao Mansion.
If Chu Tianshu, a man with a foreign surname, becomes the lord of the city, he will inevitably rely on him to win over people's hearts. Then he will gain more and more power and may be able to swallow up the entire city.
If Tang Yue really becomes the lord of the city, then with the help of Wuji Mountain, she will gradually seize the power from him, and may even expel him from the city. In this way, he will not be reconciled to the destruction of many years of hard work...
The next day, Qionghua Pavilion publicly announced something that shocked the people in the city: Mrs. Shui wanted to retreat to the realm. She handed over Qionghua Pavilion to her daughter Tang Yue to take charge of it, and also named her "Young Pavilion Master"
