Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 465: Chapter 3: Shou Zhe! Being handsome is the original sin_3

“I see,” Wang Shouzhe nodded, “The opposing party should only be a powerful seventh-rank family. If they were already at sixth-rank, Old Ancestor Zhou Bo would not dare to feud with them.”

A powerful seventh-rank family is the top-tier family in the Southern Six Guards area, even the Changning Wang Clan would not wish to offend them.

However, in the county town where prominent families gather, a powerful seventh-rank could hardly be considered top-tier but rather average. There were still many more powerful than them.

Old Ancestor Longyan had been quietly listening on the side. At this point, a flash of coldness passed through her eyes: “Hmph, that family is so arrogant and bullying. It is infuriating. Shouzhe, the Longzuo Wang Clan has been good to us. You must think of a way for Old Ancestor Zhou Bo.”

“Old Ancestor, rest assured.” Wang Shouzhe made a formal bow and said, “It was already in the plans to assist the Longzuo Wang Clan in town. However, our Changning Wang Clan’s foundation in the county town is still shallow and we lack detailed intelligence. Let me find a friend to inquire about it first.”

…

Two hours later, the headquarter of the Hundred Flavors Pavilion.

In a room on the third floor, Wang Shouzhe leisurely sipped the fragrant tea he held.

The room was decorated elegantly, with famous paintings hanging on the walls, incense wafting around, curtains hanging loose, and the faint sounds of stringed music drifting from below, creating a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.

Even without the delicacies, the decoration and atmosphere were enough to make people linger.

The tea being served to guests was lingering and aromatic, not inferior to that used by the Wang Clan itself.

The Hundred Flavors Pavilion has been passed down for a thousand years and truly had something special.

Just as Wang Shouzhe was pondering.

Suddenly.

A woman with a graceful figure lifted the curtain and walked in.

She was wearing a light crimson gauze dress. As she moved, the ethereal skirt gently swayed with her steps, showing a natural and captivating charm.

It was a charm that only married women possessed, mature and enchanting, especially her captivating eyes, filled with a charming lustre.

Wang Shouzhe looked up and smiled slightly, “My Lady Bilian, it has been a while. I thought you were not going to see me.”

“How could I dare not to see the family head of the prestigious Changning Wang Clan? On the contrary, it is Master Shouzhe who came to see me, an old acquaintance, which is quite remarkable~” Lady Bilian glanced behind Wang Shouzhe with a sidelong glance, “Where’s that gluttonous niece of yours? Hasn’t she come along with you?”

Clearly, Wang Licui had left a profound impression on her. The money spent treating her to a meal could be enough for ten meals for others.

“She has been traveling with her master for some years now, and I haven’t seen her for a while. Even for the clan’s celestial feast, she couldn’t make it back.” Wang Shouzhe picked up his teacup and took a sip, casually laughing, “If Lady Bilian misses her, I’ll let her stay here for a while when she returns from her travels.”

Upon hearing this, Lady Bilian who had just sat down almost dropped the tea in her hand.

She glared at Wang Shouzhe in annoyance, “I don’t miss her. Such a brilliant child, it’s better you Wang Family raise her~~ speak up, what’s the matter this time? In view of your handsome and valiant appearance, as long as it’s not too difficult, I will help.”

Indeed, Wang Shouzhe did have a request. Upon hearing this, he didn’t beat around the bush and directly asked, “Do you know about the Zhang family in Longzuo?”

“The Zhang family? So you came here for this.” Lady Bilian faintly frowned, “I heard that there is some enmity between the Zhang clan and the Wang clan. Over the past few years, due to industrial disputes, several conflicts have arisen.”

Her business, the Hundred Flavors Pavilion, is a thousand years old and has extensive connections. Particularly, the happenings within the county town seldom escaped her attention.

“Although the Zhang clan is not prosperous, it is a well-established prominent family that has come up in the past six or seven hundred years. Its network of contacts and relationships are much stronger than the recently declined Longzuo Wang clan, and even have some connection with my Yuwen Clan. However, in terms of relationships and resources, your Changning Wang Clan is stronger.” Lady Bilian looked at Wang Shouzhe with a smile, “If you have any needs, I can mediate and resolve the enmity between the Zhang Clan and the Wang Clan.”

“Mediation?” Wang Shouzhe shook his head, “Thank you for your kind intentions, Lady. But how could the Zhang family be willing to spit out the fat they have swallowed? Thanks to your warning, Lady, I know what to do now. Thank you for your help today, Lady. I will take my leave.”

Having said this, he put down his teacup, ready to bid farewell and leave.

“Hold on.”

Lady Bilian wasn’t going to let him off that easily.

“I’ve already helped you. You can’t just walk away like that, right? Right now I also have a difficult matter that I hesitate to bring up. I need your help. After all, Master Shouzhe is so handsome and excellent…”

During her speech, she sized up Wang Shouzhe with beautiful eyes, the light in her eyes indicating something.

This…

Wang Shouzhe felt a chill running down his spine. He thought to himself, “Could Lady Bilian have harbored some unruly thoughts because she had been living alone for so long and found him too handsome?”

He was awkward and quickly pretended to drink tea, “Lady, actually I’m very ordinary…”

“Master Shouzhe, do you believe that?” Lady Bilian shot a sideway glance at him, “For a man of such profound depth and outstanding posture like Master Shouzhe, it’s hard to find a few even if you search throughout Longzuo County.”

“Well….. but I’m not that familiar with the Lady. Since it’s hard for you to speak, you better not reveal it. Please excuse me.”

Wang Shouzhe cleared his throat and immediately made a quick exit.

Lady Bilian was fuming, “Well done, Wang Shouzhe! When you needed my help, one beg letter was all it took for me to push away important guests to see you. Now that I need your help, you’re telling me that we’re not familiar? Do you really think I’m easy to bully?!”

“No, I’ve been putting up with this matter for a long time. Only a man as excellent and handsome as you can solve it. A fixed price, fifty thousand Qian Gold!”

“What?”

Wang Shouzhe staggered, nearly falling to the ground.

No, has he been hit by a beauty with money again?

Isn’t it just that he looks a bit too handsome and a bit too excellent? Why is life so hard?
