Chapter 1058: Chapter 1057: Everyone Has Their Own Plans

The City of Tianyuan was bustling with activity at the Shepherd Family’s wealthy estate due to the new son-in-law being injured. The Family Head treated the matter with great importance, hence not a single person in the Shepherd Mansion, which should have been rejoicing, had a smile on their face.

"It’s all right now, everything’s all right. In three days, I guarantee he’ll be jumping around full of life, not delaying your Shepherd Family’s lineage!" Two Immortal Kings, a man and a woman who looked like a husband and wife, walked out of the sickroom.

They were the ones who had treated the new son-in-law’s injury.

"Also, congratulations, Brother Li. Your new son-in-law is actually a Profound Immortal Second Grade, a truly joyous occasion!"

"Ha, hahaha, I’m rich, so rich, hahaha!" The Shepherd Family Head, also known as Fatty Li, laughed heartily and immediately ordered an old servant by his side, "Reward them, generously reward the two Immortal Doctors!"

"Yes... Immortal Doctors, please follow me," the old servant said with a beaming smile as he led the two Immortal Doctor-level healers away.

The Shepherd Family Head had plenty of Spirit Stones because the family’s main business was running a money exchange, dealing in Spirit Stones. Thus, hiring two Immortal Doctor-level physicians was no big deal.

After sending the Immortal Doctors off, the Shepherd Family Head then entered the sickroom with a group of servants.

At this moment inside the sickroom, Yusuf Zuck was wrapped all over in white bandages, with only his eyes left peering out, rolling around non-stop.

Actually, he had wanted to escape earlier, but he didn’t expect that Immortal King-level experts would treat his injuries. Therefore, he hadn’t made any rash moves. However, after the two Immortal King-level healers finished applying potions and bandaging him, his injury was mostly healed, and he could hear the noises outside.

"My lord," the Shepherd Family Head said with concern as he approached the bed, while Yusuf Zuck kept his eyes on the portly man. This man was short and stocky, and surprisingly, his Cultivation Level was also at Immortal King.

Indeed, this Shepherd Family Head was an Immortal King-level powerhouse.

"My dear son-in-law, can you hear my words? Rest assured and recover. By marrying into my Shepherd Family, you are now the Young Family Head. In the future, I guarantee you will enjoy endless blessings. As long as you can give us a son and a half with my eldest daughter, I will even entrust you with all of the Shepherd Family’s wealth to manage. But... ’your thing’ down there hasn’t been damaged, has it?" As the Shepherd Family Head spoke, he even reached out to grab Yusuf Zuck’s lower body.

"It’s not damaged, it’s not, perfectly fine!" Yusuf Zuck immediately mumbled in protest. Damn it, how could he run into such an unfortunate situation?

"Haha, that’s great. Come, servants, take good care of our new son-in-law. Give him whatever he wants. We’ll consummate the marriage in three days; it’s settled then."

"Yes..." All the servants bowed and agreed.

Satisfied, the Shepherd Family Head turned and left, while Yusuf Zuck remained motionless because he realized there were other experts in the estate, even more powerful than the Shepherd Family Head.

What kind of wealthy family was this? They hired Immortal King-level physicians, the family head himself was an Immortal King, and all the servants had Cultivation Levels, either Golden Immortals or Great Luos!

What the hell kind of wealthy family was this?

No sooner had the Shepherd Family Head left than Yusuf Zuck, bound up like the Michelin Man, suddenly sat up.

The servants in the room immediately cried out in alarm, "Young Master, please don’t move! You’re injured!" A servant, much like a eunuch, who was also of the Great Luo level, cried out in concern with a shrill voice.

"I’m fine. I am your family’s son-in-law, right? Now, I’ll ask questions, and you’ll answer," Yusuf Zuck said after a moment’s thought. "What does the Shepherd Family Head’s family do?"

"You don’t know?" The old servant and everyone in the room looked surprised. The new son-in-law actually didn’t know what the Shepherd Family Head’s family did? Then what was he doing catching the bridal ball?

"I’m asking you, spit it out," demanded Yusuf Zuck.

"Yes, yes, yes." The old servant nodded repeatedly, "Our lord’s family and The City Lord’s family are of the same clan; even the current City Lord must address our lord as Uncle.

"Our family’s main business is running a money exchange, dealing in all kinds of Spirit Stones, with numerous side businesses including cloth mansions, Rice Mansions, Spirit Medicine Mansions, and wine estates, among others.

"Of course, the family has also been involved in renting and selling storefronts and houses for many years. No exaggeration, more than half of the houses in the city were built by us, including the city’s planning and construction where our family has also contributed. As you may know, land in Tianyuan City is worth its weight in gold, and what our family has in abundance is houses and properties."

"Uh... a real estate developer, huh?" Yusuf Zuck was a bit perplexed. Tianyuan City should indeed be worth its weight in gold, since the spiritual energy here was two to three times higher than outside. Therefore, residing in the city would naturally result in faster cultivation.

This was why there were so many outsiders, and why he, the elder of the Shepherd Family, with his favorable conditions and being a relative of the City Lord, could easily distribute land and sell houses. Hence, it would have been strange if he hadn’t grown rich!

"What did you say, young master?" The old servant didn’t understand Yusuf’s comment.

"Did you just say our family also runs a moneylender’s shop?" Yusuf’s eyes suddenly lit up at this. A big financier in Tianyuan City who also runs a moneylender’s business would certainly have superior immortal spirit stones.

"Yes, it’s called ’Baolai Number.’ There are thirty-three Baolai branches in the city, and outside the city, in other towns, we also have branches of our Baolai Number."

"Oh, then tell me more about the Shepherd Family Head’s household situation," Yusuf nodded and requested.

"To reply to the young master," the old servant whispered, "the Family Head had one wife and six concubines in his lifetime. After his wife gave birth to the young lady, she passed away. The young lady was personally raised by the Family Head and a few ’secondary wives.’ Besides the wife, the secondary wives haven’t given birth to any children, so the Family Head only has this one daughter. However, when the young lady was six, she contracted a strange illness, which then caused her to start gaining weight, and now she has difficulty walking and needs to keep eating."

"The Family Head is heartbroken over his daughter, which is why he has organized this ball-throwing marriage proposal. Young master, you are a fortunate man. The young lady is quite pitiful; I hope you will treat her well in the future!"

"Oh!" Yusuf didn’t agree or disagree.

Just then, a maid walked in and Yusuf took a careful look; she was one of the maids who had supported the ’Pig Lady’.

"Young master, the young lady sent me to see how you’re doing. Mmm, you can sit up and talk now, which shows that your injury is getting better. Just now, the City Lord’s steward even came to personally inquire. Young master, rest assured and recover. I must go back and report to the young lady," the maid said quickly and left just as fast.

"Alright, you all can leave too; I need to rest!" Yusuf then lay down again, all the while rapidly strategizing in his mind whether to flee or to stay.

"It wouldn’t be difficult to flee, but the Shepherd Family’s moneylender’s business is really tempting!"

"If I don’t flee, do I consummate the marriage with a pig?" The very thought of such a scenario made Yusuf feel nauseated.

"However, I could discuss with the Family Head. If I cure his daughter and then he gives me a few superior immortal spirit stones, he should agree to this, right?"

"Hmm, no need to hurry off. I have nowhere else to go anyway. Let’s see how things unfold first!"

...

...

While Yusuf was plotting, the Shepherd Family Head and his pig-like daughter were also scheming.

"Dad, can we really do this?" At this moment, the pig-like daughter removed her mask, her face even plumper than a pig’s, her eyes reduced to mere slits, a small nose, her face covered in blemishes, her entire head like a ball!

She was speaking while eating; devouring an entire chicken at an alarming pace.

"We have no other choice," the Shepherd Family Head took a deep breath and said, "If we don’t do this, we won’t be able to ferret out the traitor or see who our external enemies are. I also can’t tell what your six aunts are planning, so this is our only option!"

"But what if this person truly harbors ill intentions towards me?" The plump woman asked doubtfully while eating.

"Then kill him!" The Shepherd Family Head snorted coldly, looking at his daughter with a mixture of pain and resolve: "I had no choice but to resort to this, daughter. Remember, trust no one, including Steward Shui."

"Is Steward Shui untrustworthy too?" The plump woman asked, startled.

"Not entirely untrustishworthy, but don’t trust him completely either. So it all comes down to your own judgment. You should also take the opportunity to gauge this young master’s character. If he turns out to be decent and useful, he might well prove to be a boon," the Shepherd Family Head said with a smile.

"I will," the fat daughter responded with a laugh, continuing to eat.
