Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1880: Chapter 168: Power! The Changning Wang Clan’s Heritage (Part 3)

Not long after, a member of the household staff reported back: “General Wang, the young mistress invites Manager Qian and the others to proceed directly to the Listening to the Rain Courtyard.”

Alongside the household staff member was a vibrant and charming head maid who came to greet them.

This head maid was naturally known to Wang Jee as well. She was the trusted chief maid from Qian Yurou, the young mistress of the Wang family, named Wang He.

Since marrying into the Wang family, Qian Yurou cultivated a team of maids, all of whom were talented, educated, and proficient in finance, each supremely competent, and their cultivation bases were remarkable as well.

There was no choice, for the chief wife of the Wang family, Liu Ruolan, was a hands-off manager who predominantly spent her time playing mahjong with several Void Realm bigwigs, rather than managing accounts. Meanwhile, the young mistress, Xu Pingting, always preferred tranquility and disliked managing affairs.

As a result, the overall household finances of the Wang family were almost exclusively managed by the young mistress Qian Yurou.

As the Wang family grew stronger, its family industries expanded rapidly, and there were numerous joint ventures with other prominent families. The complexity of financial transactions required a professional financial team to handle them.

And Wang He was the standout among Qian Yurou’s team of maids, a notable head maid within the Wang family who played an important role.

This time, with Qian Xuean’s visit, Qian Yurou went as far as to send Wang He to greet him, showing considerable respect to Qian Xuean.

Maid Wang He paid her respects to Qian Xuean and the others, then led the way, conversing as they walked, introducing the guests to various sights and residences along the way, subtly mentioning some points to note.

Her articulation was sharp, her mind agile, and her organization very clear, displaying an unusual grace that made her not to be underestimated, even as a maid.

The siblings of the Shen’s Clan of West Sea were visiting the Wang family for the first time, walking and observing along the way, their hearts filled with awe.

They had, of course, heard of the Changning Wang family’s renown, though they originally perceived the Wang family as impressive but having only recently ascended to the fourth grade.

They had heard that it was due to the Wang family’s connection with Emperor Zi’an that allowed it to rapidly ascend in a short time, and assumed a lack of foundational depth, suspecting a nouveau riche atmosphere.

As a Grade Five Prominent Family, the Shen family, even though slightly in decline now, boasted a history spanning over a thousand years.

Thus, they originally carried some pride, feeling that even if their strength couldn’t match others, their foundation should stand superior.

They never expected the fourth-grade Wang family’s foundation to be so profound.

The main residence of the Wang family, needless to say, was saturated with spiritual energy and overflowing with a celestial aura, surpassing even that of the Lingyun Holy Ground.

Moreover, within the Wang family, even a mere door guard or maid exhibited such extraordinary demeanor and remarkable grace.

Such individuals, if placed within the Shen’s Clan of West Sea, would hold the status of family elders!

Moreover, everything they witnessed as they walked further redefined their concept of a Grade Four Prominent Family.

With such a foundation, not to mention a declining Grade Five family like the Shen’s, even some of the Third-Class Aristocratic Families they’ve seen might fall short!

Profound Martial cultivators move swiftly, and soon, under Wang He’s guidance, they arrived at the Listening to the Rain Courtyard.

This Listening to the Rain Courtyard was part of the residential compound belonging to Wang Shizhao and Qian Yurou and was located by Zhuwei Lake.

Originally, because Qian Yurou loved listening to the sound of the spirit rain falling on the lake, Wang Shizhao specially asked his grandfather Wang Shouzhe and then had the courtyard expanded and the Listening to the Rain Courtyard constructed.

Later, because Wang Shizhao was often stationed in Shangjing City and only returned home during the holidays, Qian Yurou, finding the main residence too quiet, moved into the Listening to the Rain Courtyard.

Therefore, only very close relatives were invited into this courtyard for hospitality.

“Mr. Qian, Madam Qian, Young Master Shen, please take a seat and have some tea. My lady will be with you shortly after a brief grooming.”

Wang He escorted the three to a section of the Lake View Pavilion in the Listening to the Rain Courtyard, where various spiritual teas, spirit fruits, and exquisite pastries had already been prepared.

As Qian Yurou had not arrived yet, Wang He entertained them and took the opportunity to introduce the Listening to the Rain Courtyard and the scenery of the Lake View Pavilion to the Shen siblings who were visiting for the first time.

The entire Lake View Pavilion was constructed using spirit wood, with one half on the shore and the other extending over the water. It offered a full view of the lake, making it the best venue for entertaining guests.

As they were speaking, a spirit rain began to fall.

The raindrops, rich in spiritual energy, struck the water’s surface, creating a pleasant sound as the spiritual energy from the rain and water dispersed, forming a thin mist.

Shen Jinyu took a breath, immediately feeling invigorated, while secretly astonished.

The spiritual energy was so dense that cultivating in such an environment could save an unimaginable amount of resources in a year.

He took another sip of the spiritual tea, feeling a cooling sensation rush to his head, instantly dispelling the fatigue from his travels, leaving his mind peaceful and serene.

Even the distractions in his spiritual platform seemed to be gently brushed away by a soft power, his awareness becoming crystal-clear, and even the bottleneck that had troubled him for a long time seemed to loosen slightly.

“What is this?” Shen Jinyu was taken aback, abruptly standing up, “What tea is this?”

“Young Master Shen, this is Emperor Resting Tea,” Wang He introduced respectfully, “Drinking it can dispel disturbances of the mind, calm the spiritual platform, and also aid in breaking through cultivation bottlenecks.”
