Chapter 2283: Chapter 2283: Will They Know?

There’s a lot of room for manipulation here.

To say it’s simple—it is.

To say it isn’t—though a bit more difficult, it’s not impossible.

"I’ve been in Sky City all these years. Though I’m merely the commander of the guards, I still know quite a bit about certain matters in the city.

The Second Young Master you’re referring to—he’s a kind man on the surface, maintaining deep private relationships with virtually every powerful family in Sky City.

Moreover, he’s a charming and talented gentleman. Many women surround him, and these women are often connected to these noble families in one way or another. Many daughters from the side branches of the aristocratic clans have married him as concubines. Even among the legitimate branch families, there are a few who have become his concubines.

This type of man—his roots in Sky City run far too deep to be easily shaken."

"Damn!"

Upon hearing her father’s words, Lin Caisang couldn’t help but curse.

This Second Young Master of Sky City—is he aiming for the heavens? Based on this description, it sounds like he has more women than the emperor’s harems!

"Father, isn’t the Second Young Master supposed to be in poor health? How could he have so many women eagerly wanting to be his concubines? Doesn’t this seem a bit far-fetched? Isn’t it too abnormal?

These women—could they have been poisoned or threatened by him?"

"Sangsang’s point is valid."

Liu Yuyang echoed his daughter’s thoughts.

If the rumors outside are to be believed—that this Second Young Master is a frail man—how could he possibly have so many women who willingly become his companions?

There are only two possibilities: either his poor health is an outright lie, or these women truly were drugged or enchanted into entering his household as concubines.

One must understand—becoming a concubine means becoming essentially a servant. It’s a position beneath the legitimate wife, serving as her maid and slave!

"It’s just that no one knows the answer yet. However, this Second Young Master is absolutely not as simple as he appears on the surface," Lin Baizhong said.

When he first arrived in Sky City, the Second Young Master tried under various pretexts to form a connection with him.

But back then, he had suffered greatly, lost many memories, and resembled a hardened block of wood. No matter how much the Second Young Master spoke to him, he wouldn’t respond more than necessary.

His eyes were only set on the City Lord and the City Lord’s wife, who had taken him in.

Over time, the Second Young Master realized establishing a bond was impossible and stopped putting energy into it.

Of course, over the years, that Second Young Master has secretly sent people to trouble him no fewer than ten times.

But Lin Baizhong wasn’t as straightforward as people assumed. Additionally, the City Lord had been quietly supporting him, so the Second Young Master never gained even the slightest advantage when targeting him.

"Still, though no one in Sky City knows the true nature of this Second Young Master, I always feel the City Lord knows something," Lin Baizhong added.

"Do you think he knows?"

Lin Caisang blinked, looking toward her husband.

If what Yin Lvqing said was true, then the City Lord of Sky City must be Zimo’s father, correct?

She didn’t want her father-in-law to be some oblivious figure, easily manipulated and unaware. That would make her and Zimo’s future far more ’entertaining,’ so to speak.

"Regardless of whether he knows or not, when we go there this time, we must get to the bottom of everything, right? Zimo?"

"Yes."

Sui Zimo responded softly, nodding.
