Young Master Is Being Jealous Again!
Chapter 312: Sister, are you interested in the Third Young Master of the Fu Family?

Chapter 312: Chapter 312: Sister, are you interested in the Third Young Master of the Fu Family?

Qin Ruan noticed San Ye’s hesitation in his eyes. A faint smile played at the corners of her mouth, "Is there something I shouldn’t hear?"

San Ye’s slender, fair-skinned hand, resting on the dining table, began to tap lightly on the table surface.

Tap after tap, providing a rhythm.

He chuckled, "Not really, it’s just that some things the Nangong Family did were a bit dirty."

"How dirty? Better dirty than dead, anyway," Qin Ruan said dismissively, with a laugh.

She didn’t know the power the Leng Family had once held in Capital City. As their family never left the capital, it meant they were still alive.

As long as one is alive, it’s all good. As the saying goes, it’s better to live poorly than to die well.

San Ye sighed softly, and slowely said, "The Nangong family has built a prison in the suburbs of the capital, called the Zhenpin Pavilion. Those who have offended the Nangong family are mostly imprisoned there. Men and women of exceptional looks become playthings, while those who are old are made into slaves.

More than a dozen people from the Leng Family are locked inside. They are still alive, but it would have been better for them to be dead. Nangong Chang often invites subordinate forces to the Zhenpin Pavilion, and life there is worse than death."

The face of the young master of the Qin Family turned grim, "Is the Huo Family, as the head of the four major families, simply standing by and watching the Nangong Family run rampant to this extent?"

San Ye looked up at him, and casually swept him with a glance, "Do you think the Nangong Family stands at the head of the six aristocratic families because of what?"

"The foundation they’ve accumulated over the past hundred years?"

San Ye shook his head at him, "It’s because they are smart enough."

The people imprisoned in the Zhenpin Pavilion are all involved in dirty businesses. Take the Leng Family for example. Their rapid rise was tied to money laundering and human trafficking. How many lives were claimed in their struggles for interests? "

The eldest son of the Qin Family was in disbelief, "Surely not everyone locked up there is dirty?"

"I can’t say that everyone isn’t clean, but the vast majority are not. The Nangong family always covers its tracks when they handle matters. If you really offend them, like the Qin Family, they wouldn’t put you in the Zhenpin Pavilion. Instead, they would erase you cleanly on the spot, without leaving any trace."

"Damn it!" Qin Mei couldn’t help but spit out a curse.

Only Qin Ruan remained calm, her eyes tranquil.

She was accustomed to such things but this wouldn’t stir up too big a wave in her heart.

The dirty deals in West City, compared to those of the Nangong Family, might be rather crude, but they were still filled with various kinds of inhuman bloodshed.

San Ye looked at Qin Jingcen who had an icy expression, and in a gentle voice said, "So, Tang Ya must disappear. If the Qin Family finds it inconvenient, I will have my men handle it."

Qin Mei, gripping the tips of his fingers, his voice trembling slightly, "Do we really have to murder someone?"

San Ye spoke lightly, "There’s a saying that goes like this, wildfire can’t wipe out the grass, the spring breeze blows and life begins anew. Making someone disappear doesn’t necessarily mean killing someone."

"You scared the life out of me, I thought we were about to take a life."

Qin Mei relaxed his body and slumped in his chair, his voice tinged with residual fear and some relief.

San Ye’s deep, ancient well-like eyes stared at Qin Jingcen, as though they could devour one’s soul.

Qin Jingcen received the deep meaning in his eyes. The corners of his lips curled slightly, "I know what to do."

Regarding the security of the Qin Family, he had no choice. Tang Ya had to go.

His younger brother didn’t understand much, but he clearly understood the stakes in this matter.

San Ye’s mouth curled upward, and a faint smile appeared on his face, "If you don’t want to get your hands dirty, you can bear it for another year. After next year’s general election, the luck of the Nangong Family will wane. If there are any troubles that you cannot solve, just speak up. The Huo Family has plenty of idle manpower."

Qin Jingcen gently nodded, "Thank you, San Ye."

"There’s no need for formalities between family."

Qin Ruan wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin, watching the two foxes communicate. She said in a faint voice, "Are you done talking?"

Qin Mei didn’t understand the meaning behind the conversation between his elder brother and San Ye. Qin Ruan, however, understood everything clearly.

Whether Tang Ya lived or died, would now depend on her fate.

San Ye’s gentle gaze was fixed on her, "Does Ruanruan have something to say?"

Qin Ruan nodded at him, "The ones who have incited the Tang Family behind the scenes are Qin Anmin and Han Xian. As long as these two don’t end up in prison, I won’t be at ease."

The eldest son of the Qin Family said, "I already have the evidence of our uncle embezzling company funds."

"It’s not enough. Uncle’s greed for the Qin Group doesn’t implicate Han Xian and her daughter Han Kexin."

Ever since Qin Ruan was reborn and first met the mother-daughter duo, Han Xian and Han Kexin, she knew they were tangled in Evil Qi and wouldn’t meet a good end.

However, a month had passed, and the mother and daughter were still fine, which upset her.

As long as these two women were not defeated, she would not feel at ease for a single day.

San Ye interjected, "The mother and daughter expelled by their father-in-law?"

"Yes."

"They probably can’t be touched for now."

Qin Ruan did not look pleased, "Why?"

San Ye frowned slightly, "The Huo family has found out that the son of the Fu Family from the south has arrived in the capital and Han Kexin has made a connection with him."

Qin Mei, "That woman really has no shame!"

Qin Ruan furrowed her brows, "What does the Fu Family have to do with my issues with Han Kexin?"

San Ye gently patted her hand as a gesture of reassurance, "Don’t worry, your second cousin is already investigating this matter. The Fu family entered the capital without reporting it, and this matter could be widespread. The results will be out by tomorrow at the latest, and then we can assess the situation depending on the findings. Han Kexin is currently with the young master of the Fu Family, so some things might scare the snake in the grass."

"Is the Fu Family very influential?" Qin Ruan didn’t understand these things. Her question was very straightforward.

San Ye’s mouth curved into a helpless smile, not sure how to explain this to Qin Ruan.

The eldest son of the Qin Family timely said, "The Fu family is one of the top aristocratic families in the south, equivalent to the local emperor. Their influence is very extensive, covering the entire southern region."

The Fu Family was also a source of headache for the cabinet in the capital.

If this were in ancient times, the Fu family would be of the status of a vassal king.

Qin Ruan understood and slowly closed her mouth.

Due to the matters caused by Nangong, Tang Family, Qin Anmin and the mother-daughter duo Han Xian and Han Kexin, the three siblings of the Qin family hadn’t eaten much.

San Ye sat in the hall of the Qin residence, casually chatting with Qin Jingcen, discussing the current situation in the capital.

He sat up straight in an unimpeachable posture, exuding an elegant and gentle aura.

Third Master was incredibly handsome, his deep, affectionate peach blossom eyes were tender and moving. Facing the barrage of questions from Qin Jingcen, he showed no impatience. He maintained such a warm and gentle demeanor, demonstrating the good composure of one born from a prominent family.

Qin Ruan slouched on the sofa without any semblance of a gentlewoman, reading through the chat logs of the group [Emperor Beitai Reigns Supreme].

Master of Jade Star Road: [Master Hui Cheng, I heard you’re not in the Capital City recently?]

Nanyin Temple Hui Cheng: [Just arrived in the south.]

Master of Jade Star Road: [What are you doing there? Are you going to steam in a sauna this season?]

It was so humid in the south now that you felt like you were in a sauna the minute you stepped out. It’s unbearable.

For those who lived in the north for years, it was hard for them to adapt to the southern climate.

Nanyin Temple Hui Cheng: [I was invited by a big landowner, I dared not refuse.]

Qingcheng Wei Xishi: [@Nanyin Temple Hui Cheng/Fu Family?]

This person was direct and to the point, identifying the surname directly.

Master of Jade Star Road: [I just realized who you were referring to as the big landowner haha...]

Master of Jade Star Road: [@Nanyin Temple Hui Cheng/Did the Fu Family invite you to exorcise spirits, chant sutras, or resolve disasters?]

Maoshan Nine Miss: [Fu family? The local emperor of the south?]

Qiao Jiu, who followed our master back to Maoshan Sect, also logged in.

Qingcheng Wei Xishi: [Sneer.jpg]

Qingcheng Wei Xishi: [Calling him an emperor? A sycophant would be more apt.]

Maoshan Nine Miss: [@Qingcheng Wei Xishi/Xishi, do you have something against the Fu Family? It seems like every time we mention the Fu Family, you get upset.]

Qingcheng Wei Xishi: [How dare I? If this were ancient times, the Fu Family would be influential figures with great power. I’m just a commoner and I dare not have an opinion.]

Maoshan Nine Miss: [Hahaha... You’re roundaboutly saying that the people of the Fu Family are eunuchs!!!]

The voices of the Master of Jade Star Road and Nanyin Temple Hui Cheng disappeared from the chat.

The following conversations in the group were all mundane chitchat, mostly Qingcheng Wei Xishi expressing dissatisfaction with the Fu family.

Qin Ruan squinted slightly. She had an intuition that the issue with the Fu family was not simple, otherwise Master Hui Cheng would not refrain from revealing it in the group.

Thinking of Han Kexin getting involved with the scion of the Fu Family recently, Qin Ruan clicked on the profile picture of Nanyin Temple Hui Cheng.

Just as she was about to send a private message to him, someone in the group started speaking again.

Maoshan Qiao Master: [@Nanyin Temple Hui Cheng/I am back at the Sect, please contact me if you need anything.]

A few seconds later, Master Hui Cheng responded to Qiao Nanyuan.

Nanyin Temple Hui Cheng: [Brother Qiao, I am indeed in need of your help. The eldest son of Fu Family seems to be possessed.]

Qingcheng Wei Xishi: [How did he get possessed, how is he doing now?]

Maoshan Nine Miss: [Possessed? By a puppet spirit?]

Nanyin Temple Hui Cheng: [He’s still alive.]

These words were blunt enough but did not clarify the cause.

Maoshan Nine Miss: [Master Hui Cheng, there are no outsiders in our group. Can you tell us what happened to the Fu Family?]

Nanyin Temple Hui Cheng: [It’s not easy to explain in a word or two, it’s a bit complicated.]

Maoshan Qiao Master: [@Nanyin Temple Hui Cheng/I am free at any time. Call me if you need me.]

Nanyin Temple Hui Cheng: [Alright.]

Qin Ruan looked up, her gaze landing on Third Master, who was discussing matters with her elder brother.

She called out in a soft voice, "Third Master."

Huo Yunjiao, who was listening to Qin Jingcen’s analysis of the situation in Capital City, looked at her as he heard her voice.

Third Master asked gently, "What’s wrong?"

Qin Ruan: "You said that Han Kexin is involved with someone from the Fu family, do you know who that person is?"

"It’s said to be the third son of the Fu Family, called Fu Jin."

"Do you have a picture?"

"I don’t have one here, but our second cousin might have. Do you want it?"

"Yes!" Qin Ruan nodded without hesitation.

Third Master turned his head and signaled to Huo Chuan, who was not far away, with a nod of his chin: "Contact second cousin and get Fu Jin’s photo."

"Yes, Third Master."

In just a few minutes, Huo Chuan sent a photo of Fu Jin to Qin Ruan’s phone.

After that, again, Qin Ruan opened the group [Emperor Beitai Reigns Supreme], where the Fu family’s affairs were still under discussion.

Master Hui Cheng was still avoiding discussing the matter of the eldest son of the Fu family being possessed.

Qin Ruan started to type in the chat box.

[Does anyone know about the third son of the Fu Family?]

As soon as her message went out, the group fell silent. It seemed as if talking about the third son of the Fu family was a taboo for them.

The first to reply was Wei Xishi.

Qingcheng Wei Xishi: [@Qin Ruan/Sis, are you interested in the third son of the Fu family?]

Maoshan Nine Miss: [Sister Ruan, there is indeed such a person as the third son of the Fu family that you’re asking about, but he keeps a low profile. Nobody has ever seen him. We only know that such a person exists in the Fu family.]

Master of Jade Star Road: [Indeed, it’s rumoured that the third son of the Fu family is deeply loved by the family head. He’s been kept out of the public eye, which is also a way of protecting him.]
