Chapter 1342 - 1341: Brothers Turning on Each Other
Chapter 1342 - 1341: Brothers Turning on Each Other
Who is Tang Rao, a man that even the Pill Pavilion wants to cozy up to. Tang Rao's alchemy skills are flawless; it's only about whether he wants to make a pill or not.Rumor has it in the circle that Tang Rao helped Wen Jun refine pills. Speaking of that, both Wen Lei and Wen Jun treated Tang Rao well, and they even helped him a lot, yet Tang Rao still asked them for ten portions of raw materials.
What kind of move is that towards Zhang Yishan?
Without a second thought, he gave a seventh-grade elixir pill to Zhang Yishan. When Zhang Yishan was being suspected, Tang Rao personally vouched for him, telling everyone that the pills were from him and they were real. Instead of doubting Zhang Yishan, why not question Tang Rao's alchemical skills?
With such words spoken, what more could the people below say?
"Whether the pills are real or fake, we can't judge, but I have a question. When someone was kneeling at the doorstep begging Tang Rao to refine a life-saving pill, Tang Rao was heartless enough to ignore them. So why would he make a seventh-grade Youthful Appearance Pill, such a useless pill, out of filial piety?"
Was there really someone begging Tang Rao for pill refining that he refused?
As the topic was introduced, everyone's focus drastically shifted.
They didn't care about Zhang Yishan's filial piety or the authenticity of the pills. The only concern was, isn't it about Tang Rao?
At Mrs. Zhang's birthday, questioning Tang Rao? Have you lost track, young men?
"Though I don't want to respond to such a stupid question, I still have to say, young men, you're off-topic. Whether I want to refine pills or not is up to me, Tang Rao. If you want to continue questioning my character at Mrs. Zhang's birthday, then let me just admit, my character is indeed bad, so you can close your mouths?"
Hahahahaha.
Zhang Yishan wanted to say Tang Rao did a great job on stage, but worried others would say Tang Rao's views are crooked and that Zhang Yishan was also going astray. So Zhang Yishan refrained from expressing his, sometimes shocking, opinions.
"Alright, today is my wife's birthday. As guests I've invited, please fulfill your duties as guests."
The displeasure on the Zhang Family Master's face was becoming more evident, and his tone was sharper.
The crowd below quieted down a bit, and after the pill scandal, the banquet returned to looking like a banquet.
"Boss, I'm sorry for earlier. I didn't expect to drag you into this."
As soon as Zhang Yishan came down, he apologized to Tang Rao, who had already anticipated such a situation, waved his hand, determined to maintain his elegant composure.
You can't crumble over small matters.
"Boss, I saw Zhang Yuqi and his crony discussing something just now. Could there be a big event happening later?"
Don't blame Zhang Yishan for being so jittery about everything now; the troubles involving Tang Rao made him anxious.
"When the enemy comes, soldiers will counter; when water comes, we will block it. Don't you understand this principle?"
Zhang Yishan felt he learned a lot from Tang Rao.
"These useless ones, letting him slip away so easily. I didn't expect that Tang Rao would think so differently from us."
Just thinking about it makes me angry.
"What should we do next, just sit and wait, or continue to find a chance to mess with this kid?"
"Continue with it. I want to see when my uncle will finally erupt like a volcano."
A trademark sinister smile that made the crony beside him break out in goosebumps.
"Damn it, I knew there was nothing good about this, turns out it was Zhang Yuqi causing trouble. If you want to continue causing trouble, then I'll let you have your fun."
Tang Rao sent out Little Fire Ginseng, who casually took a stroll and narrated the entire banquet hall situation to Tang Rao.
"Master, it's not about Zhang Yuqi, it's about your alliance. Are you siding with the Zhang Family or the Song Family, or neither? This is crucial."
Little Fire Ginseng's timely reminder brought Tang Rao back from his thoughts.
"Of course, I'm siding with the Song Family. The Song Family Patriarch knows how to handle things. I look at the Zhang Family Patriarch and feel annoyed, but the Zhang Family has some good seedlings, Zhang Yishan is pretty good."
Little Fire Ginseng only listened to half of Tang Rao's words.
You want to take over the whole Zhang Family while keeping their son to join you? Others wouldn't dare to think about it.
"Little Fire Ginseng, do you think the Zhang Family Patriarch loves his wife more, or the Zhang Family more?"
Watching the Zhang Family Patriarch showcasing affection on stage with Mrs. Zhang, Tang Rao asked out of the blue.
"Probably the Zhang Family more. Among men, I've seen more heartless ones than passionate ones. Passionate and devoted, that's just you."
Little Fire Ginseng's high evaluation of Tang Rao left him slightly flattered.
"Oh, darling little sweetheart of Tang Rao, how come I didn't realize you were so good with words before? If I knew, I'd have kept you close and coddled you."
Kept close? Coddled? Another word and the little guy might just vomit.
"Honest advice, I still think it's better to take down the Zhang Family sooner for peace of mind. The Zhang Family Patriarch isn't much, but the collateral branches of the Zhang Family have begun to stir without you noticing."
Little Fire Ginseng brought up the collateral branches of the Zhang Family.
How could Tang Rao overlook what Zhang Yishan said, that the collateral branches of the Zhang Family play a crucial role?
"Why does every family's collateral branch have to be so annoying? Can't there be a decent opportunity for me to act?"
Though he said so, Tang Rao habitually shifted from being lazy to being observant.
His demeanor resembled that of an eagle in the night, and his gaze was intimidating.
Zhang Yishan applauded in support for his parents from the audience, proudly claiming them as his own. "My mother treats me well," he would say.
Tang Rao, with his keen senses, observed Zhang Yishan's every move.
This guy truly lacks the typical arrogance of a family's Young Master.
"Since so many have already given blessings to Mrs. Zhang, my sister-in-law, let me, as an elder brother, give a few blessings too."
Just as the Zhang Family Patriarch was about to invite everyone to enjoy the feast, an abrupt voice interrupted.
"Big brother, we appreciate your kindness, but time is limited. Maybe we can exchange blessings privately?"
The Zhang Family Patriarch knew well that his older brother wasn't easy to deal with, so he tried his best to postpone the words of his older brother.
But Zhang Wei wouldn't give Zhang Xiong any face. When Zhang Xiong tried to stop Zhang Wei from speaking, Zhang Wei insisted on delivering his 'blessings' in front of everyone.
"Why shouldn't I? Do I, as the elder brother, have no right?"
With Zhang Wei's outburst of anger, Zhang Xiong had no choice but to swallow his anger and give Zhang Wei some face.
"Big brother, then thank you."
