Chapter 794: 100 Family_2 Chapter 794: 100 Family_2 With this developnt, the ng Family Wine House’s business beca uniquely dominant.
Although many people suspected the ngs, the issues that occurred in their wine were eventually all resolved by the head of the ng family.
As for how these problems were resolved, outsiders had no clue.
The more Lin Yuan listened, the more she felt that there was sothing fishy about the situation, and she also started to worry about Liu Limin.
Back when she had acquired the Century-old Cake Shop, she heard that the ng family was among the competitors, but in the end, it was because Shopkeeper Liu had helped resolve the crisis for the Chen family that the Young Lady Chen agreed to sell the cake shop to her.
Now that she thought about it, given ng Tong’s character, it was impossible for him not to bear a grudge against Liu Limin, who had taken over the Century-old Cake Shop.
However, he indeed had not made things difficult for her.
The reason for that was that the old rogue had taken a fancy to Liu Limin.
No wonder that guy even sent fruits to Liu Limin during the New Year!
Despite that, both Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng were certain that behind the scenes, the ng family had sabotaged the other wine houses in Zhuma Town that had encountered problems.
As for the Chen family, when their household had been surrounded, Shopkeeper Liu felt that there was more to the story and sent people to investigate.
Sure enough, they found that soone had bribed a group of n to cause trouble, intending to coerce the Young Lady Chen.
However, they did not expect Lin Yuan to step in and seize the opportunity mid-sche.
As for the person behind the curtain, it was likely that ng Tong was involved.
“It’s not just these incidents.” Liuzi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, speaking more and more mysteriously, “I’ve also heard other things.
The head of the ng family is an old lecher.
Any woman he sets his eyes on, whether she’s a respectable lady, a brothel woman, an unmarried girl, or a married woman, he’d use every trick in the book to get her.
Consequently, in the ng Family Mansion, there are no less than twenty little concubines.
Oh boy, that old rogue is really sothing!”
While Liuzi was speaking, there was even a hint of envy on his face.
Perhaps for a man, to be accompanied by so many won was a great joy.
Lin Yuan scoffed, casting a sidelong glance at Xia Zheng sitting beside her, her aning clear without words.
Xia Zheng felt a tingling sensation down his back from her look and quickly defended himself with a righteous tone, “Don’t look at !
I am not that kind of man!”
“What kind of man?
Who is ‘that kind of man’?” Lin Yuan arched an eyebrow, with no intention of letting him off the hook just because of his words.
Xia Zheng bared his teeth and said, “You know, uh, the kind with lots of won!
Rest assured, you’re the only one for !”
Lin Yuan snorted, paying him no more attention as she turned to ask Liuzi so other questions.
Seeing that she had moved on, Xia Zheng quietly breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that he’d never been interested in won enough to have maids or concubines in the house; otherwise, he might not even end up with a wife.
“What about his legitimate wife and children?”
Liuzi was snapped out of his reverie of warm, fragrant, tender beauty and said sympathetically with a sniff, “His legitimate wife?
She hardly looks the part of a wife anymore and just has the title in na only.
In the mansion, those favored little concubines are much more prestigious than her.
She’s practically like an old wet nurse!”
While she did feel sympathy, Lin Yuan also understood a reality: there’s always sothing detestable in a person to be pitied.
If ng Tong’s legitimate wife was a bit stronger, she wouldn’t have allowed her status to be so diminished, especially considering she gave birth to a son and a daughter for ng Tong!
“But you know, despite appearing weak, the children she bore are formidable,” Liuzi remarked with a gleam in his eye as if watching a drama unfold, “Do you know why so many concubines in ng Mansion have not produced any concubine’s sons?
It’s not because they can’t give birth.
It’s that none of the children live beyond three years of age.”
Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng exchanged looks, both understanding the reason without saying a word.
They were not familiar with ng Chunyan’s elder brother, but they had encountered ng Chunyan several tis.
She might be a bit thoughtless, but crucially, she had the courage.
She might indeed be capable of orchestrating the demise of those concubine’s sons.
“No wonder that day at Li Mansion, ng Chunyan went to trouble my aunt.
It turns out she misunderstood and thought my aunt was seducing that old rogue ng Tong,” Lin Yuan sighed, feeling that being born into such a family, ng Chunyan really was quite unfortunate.
