Free Web NovelChapter 3336: Chapter 3337: Time to Enjoy a Peaceful Life
The Lie Family and Ding Family were not closely related, but Jin Cuiniang used the Ding Family’s name to place her younger sister into the Lie Family as the Lie Family’s master’s concubine.
Who would have thought that a mere concubine could egg the Lie Family’s master into rebelling against Sky City because of Jin Cuiniang?
That’s quite a remarkable feat!
"How is it over there? Has anything major happened?" she immediately asked.
"Nothing major, don’t worry, nothing can overturn the sky," Lu Tianlan replied.
He was also reminding his wife not to tell everything to her family in the future, nor could she always back her relatives just because she was the City Lord’s Mansion’s mistress.
Some people are okay, but others, once they taste a little advantage, tend to inch forward endlessly.
"I remember you also stepped in for that woman from the Lie Family several times, didn’t you?" he reminded.
"Uh."
The City Lord’s wife was caught speechless by his question.
Back then, wasn’t it for the sake of her younger sister and brother-in-law? She thought there’s no harm in supporting her family a little.
Who would have known that her backing could allow Jin Cuiniang’s sister to wreak havoc in the Lie Family unscrupulously, and even cause the Lie Family to rebel against Sky City?
No one could have expected that.
"Did my parents... know?" she asked softly.
"Yes," Lu Tianlan replied.
Could the Ding Family not know? Lately, they’ve been keeping a close watch on the Jin Family, and with Jin Cuiniang’s sister placing the entire Lie Family on the grill, how could the Ding Family not have received the news?
"Alas."
The City Lord’s wife sighed lightly.
Even so, her mother used to complain that she didn’t convey the news of finding back her son.
She secretly felt grateful she hadn’t said anything, or who knows, the Lie Family might have gotten wind of it and done something even crazier?
"Now that Zimo is coming back, and Sangsang is about to move into the City Lord’s Mansion, it’s time for me to enjoy some peace," she said wistfully.
In the future, she wouldn’t want to deal with the City Lord’s Mansion matters anymore, just let Sangsang handle them, and she could peacefully ignore everything, hopefully living a few more years this way.
However, upon hearing her words, Lu Tianlan: "..."
Did his wife think too highly of their son and daughter-in-law?
Do those two look like people who would stay in the City Lord’s Mansion for a lifetime? Perhaps one day, if they blink, they’d be gone without a trace.
That’s certainly something they’re capable of doing.
Moreover, he believed those two probably thought, with their father being so young, staying to govern Sky City for another hundred, two hundred years would be no problem, and they could enjoy their free-spirited lives, right?
And who knows, perhaps one day they might run away with their son?
"Well, you just wait," he said.
To really wait safely for that to happen would be a surprise.
...
With a ’crash’ sound.
Everything on the table was swept to the ground, and the man’s face was gloomy, his eyes almost spewing flames.
"Arrived late again, what are you even doing?"
He took a deep breath, looked at the man in the silver attire, and questioned coldly.
The books in Zui Family Feng’s possession were very important to him and must be secured at all costs.
But now this subordinate was telling him he couldn’t get anything, those books had all been destroyed, burned clean by a fire?
