Chapter 945: 0919 She won’t let them go either!
Nan Shuyun nodded, looking at Su Ran with so surprise, but then thought it was perfectly natural. Xiao Ran had more well-inford sources than she did, and given the situation, she was likely to investigate CE.
Just ntioning Elaine made Nan Shuyun’s expression grow solemn.
“I once heard people from the Nan family ntion this Countess Elaine. She is different from the ladies of the Chu family and the Yang family; she inherently carries ambition. The three sisters were born in the slums, and anyone who has heard the na knows it’s not a good place. The slums are located at the border of our country, plagued by constant warfare, a grey area that no jurisdiction governs, infested with all sorts of demons and monsters.
There, it is extrely poor yet exceedingly wealthy. The people inside are either unbelievably wealthy, controlling the economic lifelines of many foreign countries, or extrely powerful, overseeing the military weapons of war-ridden countries in Europe and Arica, or fiercely evil, controlling the underground forces of the slums. The slums are ranked by force, and the higher the power, the higher the status. Although there are ordinary people in there, they are as lowly as ants.
The words ‘corpses strewn across the fields’ and ‘blood flowing like rivers’ might be things we’ve only seen on television or books, but that was the most real state of the slums until a mysterious big shot appeared, taking control of all forces within them, and only then did things begin to improve.”
Zhou Ziyi looked at the person speaking confidently in front of him in shock. Nan Shuyun had always left him with the impression of being a shy, introverted girl who knew little of the world.
Seeing her now composed, unhurried appearance was indeed an impression he rarely had.
But then he thought, she was after all the legitimate lady of the Nan family, which was a renowned family in Yong City. No matter how inexperienced she was, she couldn’t possibly be a complete rookie.
Moreover, those secretive yet legendary stories were the kind of real inside news that only these big families could grasp.
Zhou Ziyi watched Nan Shuyun and listened as she continued:
“So, people who co out of the slums generally are avoided by everyone, yet these three sisters, one married into the Yang family, one into the Chu family, and another married into the royal family of country A, becoming the now famous Countess.”
“Was there no opposition?” Zhou Ziyi asked.
“Of course there was. Country A places great importance on lineage and race. However, there have been instances of Chinese marrying into country A’s royal family. Many forr Queens and Princess Consorts in the royal family Yekaterinest were overseas Chinese, including Duke Claire’s grandmother and his late wife. But Ruan Peiyu was different; her origin destined her to face many obstacles. It’s heard that when she married Austin Claire, who was not yet a count, she faced opposition from the entire nobility of country A.
But that woman was very capable. She quickly subdued those opposing voices and truly established her foothold in the noble circles of country A. Later, she started her own business, leveraging the power and status of the Claire’s premier nobility, founding her own fashion brand, naming it CE after Claire and her English na. Since then, CE has beco the first choice brand for the elite won, noble ladies, and even the royal dukes of country A.
She also orchestrated her husband’s younger sister to marry the youngest son of the Martin family, hence Josie Martin is the union of the Claire and Martin families. Although the Martin family has been sowhat declining in recent years, it’s still one of the Five Great Nobles of country A, with its cal still stronger than a horse. Ruan Peiyu used her financial power and extensive, complex marital ties to support her husband’s successful elevation to a third-class count, making him one of the main contenders for the next Duke Claire.”
Listening to Nan Shuyun, Zhou Ziyi felt heavy and complex.
He had heard of Countess Elaine of country A, but never thought… she was so formidable.
How much courage and skill must a woman have to reverse her destiny while supporting her husband to the top?
However…
Are all the won nowadays this capable? President Su, the eldest miss of the Chu family, Josie Martin, Ruan Peiyu, even Nan Shuyun who always seed like a good girl has hidden depths.
When the won are so formidable, it makes the n seem particularly useless.
The pressure is imnse!
Hearing this, Su Ran raised her eyebrows aningfully; indeed, Ruan Peiyu’s ambition wasn’t ordinary.
The Chu family, Yang family, Martin family, and Austin Claire, rather than saying they are in-laws, it’s more accurate to say they are mutually supportive.
Ruan Peiyu helped Ruan Peishan and Ruan Peihong marry into the Chu and Yang families, seemingly out of deep sisterly affection and significant rit, but she herself holds her current status partly due to help from these two families.
Note, in such a lineage-focused country, in the face of absolute hierarchy and power, sotis abilities and thods beco worthless.
The Martin family’s decision to ally with Austin’s sister for marriage was also for this reason; they need to quickly escape the current predicant of the Martin family, while Austin similarly needs the Martin family’s mighty albeit fallen support.
The four families complent and support each other, united to elevate a third-class count, giving Austin a qualification to compete for the position of the next first-class duke.
Perhaps Ruan Peiyu still has plans for the Fu family. If Chu Xiyao successfully marries Fu Qiyuan and becos the matriarch of the household, then by that ti, Hua Country’s two most powerful top families will beco their greatest support.
And Austin will beco the most promising candidate for Duke Claire’s successor, without a doubt.
Otherwise, given Duke Claire’s children and descendants, why should Austin, this nephew, be one of the most powerful contenders for the title?
Perhaps Ruan Peiyu had this plot from the start, which is why she helped Ruan Peishan marry into the Chu family, attempting to use Chu Xiyao to pin down Fu Qiyuan. From the series of events that occurred, she was quite confident that Chu Xiyao could capture Fu Qiyuan’s heart, firm in her belief that the Fu family would beco their backing.
And Old Master Fu, probably also due to Austin’s current power, was vigorously trying to match Fu Qiyuan and Chu Xiyao.
Unfortunately, man’s plans don’t always go as intended, out of the blue she beca the unexpected spoiler, and Chu Xiyao never got close to Fu Qiyuan nor captured his heart. In Chu Xiyao’s mind, she and Fu Qiyuan grew up together, childhood friends, and they were destined to marry each other. They were the most suitable for each other. However, in Fu Qiyuan’s mind, they were rely neighbors with so family ties, this ‘neighbor’ was due to the relationship between the Fu and Chu families.
Now Fu Qiyuan is married to her, which undoubtedly stabbed a knife into Chu Xiyao’s heart, truncating Ruan Peiyu’s ambitious map in half, especially since Queen has now beco CE’s biggest competitor, steadily overtaking CE.
Thus, they will definitely not spare her; if anything, they probably even harbor murderous intentions, no wonder Nan Shuyun was worried.
But don’t worry, because…
She won’t spare them either!
