Chapter 913: An Alliance
Translator: Lonelytree
I took the opportunity to ask, “Then how many people are there in the entire peony garden? I want to ask, how many women does Wen Dian have?”
Yang Yang did some serious calculations. “About twenty-five or twenty-six. Hmm, including you, there should be about thirty of them, right?”
!!
She looked at Zhao Mei with some uncertainty.
Zhao Mei was very calm. She asked me, “Does it matter?”
Wen Dian couldn’t be an iron kidney, right? But he was really something. He was enjoying the blessings of a harem in his own small world. He was just a local emperor. I didn’t know how his career was going, but the harem had been built. It looked decent. Even the palace fights were upgraded. The highly educated concubines had started the advanced version of the palace fights.
I deliberately thought for a moment. “What are we going to do when we form an alliance?”
Yang Yang and Zhao Mei looked at each other and clearly heaved a sigh of relief.
Yang Yang’s expression also eased up.
Zhao Mei smiled faintly. “Of course we’re going to deal with the others! In the peony garden, if you’re too favored, you’ll bee the target of public criticism. Unless you can keep young master’s heart on you, otherwise — a flower will never last forever. When the favor fades, everyone will push you down.”
I rolled my eyes disapprovingly. But before I could say anything, Zhao Mei interrupted, “Then no doubt everyone will be able to bully you. Your family will also be bullied by other families. When that happens, it won’t be your own problem, but your family will also suffer.”
I imagined in my heart that my family should be considered the Tong family. With my little uncle, cousin Mo, and Ye Qian around, which family would be so blind as to be willing to seek their own death?
‘What am I thinking? I’m Not Wen Dian’s concubine!
‘This Zhao Mei still has some skills. Her brainwashing skills are amazing!’
When she saw that I wasn’t speaking, she felt that the time was ripe, she said, “My family is in the rare metals business while Yang Yang’s family is in the jewelry business. Miss Nanxing, it all depends on you. As long as you’re willing, we can immediately send a letter to your family and get in touch with your family. Young Master’s full attention is now on you. I reckon that your family has already been infiltrated. If they take the initiative now, they can at least obtain the status of an alliance and not be annexed. I’m not trying to scare you. If you’re too late and end up being annexed, then you won’t have an easy time in the future.”
An unnatural expression flashed across Yang Yang’s face. It seemed that she was a living example.
“Do you have a way to contact my family?” This was the point that made my eyes light up.
Zhao Mei nodded her head in a reserved manner.
I extended my hand. “Alright, let’s form an alliance. It’s a deal. Tell me, what do you need me to do?”
Yang Yang and Zhao Mei looked at each other and smiled.
“Nanxing, what kind of business does your family mainly do?” Yang Yang asked in a friendly manner. She had also omitted the word “Miss”, which made us seem much closer.
I — my family does business in the underworld. My family has world-class assassins. Does this count?
I held back. I said solemnly, “I’m not too concerned about my family’s business. I only know about real estate, entertainment, food and beverage, mining, department stores, and a few listed panies. I’m not too sure about the exact number. You can ask your family to inquire about it. I’m just a wastrel at home.”
I immediately reported a few properties under Ye Qian’s and Jing Tian’s names to show my sincerity. No matter how hard they tried, they wouldn’t be able to find out our background. But as long as they mentioned my name, little uncle and the others would know immediately. The heavens had really opened a window for me.
