But Jiang Wang and Chong Xuan also busied themselves throughout the night, and this night was also the night when the Ju Bao Chamber of Commerce tossed and turned to save itself.

However, these ripples were not enough to stir the night in a great city like Linzi.

The silent night in Linzi passed.

The next morning, a servant arrived to summon the old marquis.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

Zhong Xuan Sheng was a bit tired, but his spirits were high. He simply said, "My uncle, he's not good at anything else, but complaining is his forte!"

Jiang Wang seized the opportunity to tend to Tiandi Gu Dao, listening to his complaints.

“My uncle told me that he was not good at studying or martial arts, but he was very favored since childhood.”

The uncle mentioned by Chongxuan was his cousin, Chongxuan Chu Liang.

In terms of blood relation, he is closer to Chong Xuan Mingguang. However, in terms of heart and mind, the two are worlds apart.

His uncle, Chong Xuan Chu Liang, was his childhood confidante. However, the irony lies in this: his greatest reliance was also the person Chong Xuan revered as his uncle.

Zhong Xuan Zun was also an outstanding junior of Zhong Xuan Chu Liang, a blood relative. Even with the domineering nature of a tyrant like him, it was impossible for him to truly harm his own kin.

“When I was a child, I always wondered how my grandfather could favor such a foolish uncle”

"I see things more clearly now!"

About when the situation reached a critical juncture, Chong Xuan became somewhat nervously agitated, speaking in a hurried and rambling manner. It was a way of soothing his emotions.

“My grandfather had four sons. My father and my uncle on my mother's side are both gone, while my great-uncle lives far away on an island and never comes back; we haven’t even heard from him. But my elder paternal uncle, though he doesn't like to be lectured, has moved out of the family home and lives by himself, but every day, whether in the morning or at midday, he always checks in.”

"As you can see, everyone has their own merits, and each person's preferences and what moves them are different! Even someone as foolish as Uncle Mingguang has his filial side. As for heroes like my grandfather, even when they get old, their hearts inevitably soften!"

"Did you think of this when you were little"

"Yes. When I was little, I always lay in bed alone, wondering what made me different from others, why I was different. Fourteen feared that I would starve, so she always sat by my bed feeding me food. And I would eat while thinking!"

Overthinking, does that make someone smarter Or is it sometimes the environment forcing people... to be smart

Imagine a lonely little chubby boy, agonizing over the reasons for his cold reception. That picture is bound to tug at your heartstrings.

Jiang Wang then deliberately smiled and said, "You're so fat, it must be Shi Si's responsibility!"

“Indeed, it’s all because of Fourteenth!” Chong Xuan said, then probably thinking that Fourteenth hadn't fully recovered yet, his interest in talking waned. He pushed the book in front of him aside: “Come on, accompany me to the Marquis of Bo望’s Mansion!”

When Jiang Wang finished his movements, he didn't ask why, and just got up to follow.

"Everyone says that once you enter a noble family, it's like plunging into the deep sea. Thanks to your good fortune, I came to Linzi and have already been in the 'sea' twice!"

Zhong Xuansheng burst into laughter and exclaimed, "Not bad at all!"

Following Chong Xuan Sheng directly into the mansion of Marquis Bo Wang, there wasn't much trouble.

This was the first time Jiang Wang saw Marquis Bo望 in person, at the main hall.

This was a majestic old man. Though his face was deeply creased, his aura was stern. He wore ordinary clothes, yet they seemed like battle armor. He sat with perfect posture.

He was tall and imposing, even when seated, giving the impression of a mountain.

Zhong Xuanming was not present, perhaps he didn't want to confront Zhong Xuansheng face-to-face, or there might be other reasons. Jiang Wang couldn't tell.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Just beside Marquis Bo望, unexpectedly stood a figure clad in black armor.

Who is it that should be recovering in the Chongxuan family's residence, but is not the Fourteenth

I don't know when the injury healed, but I didn't return to Chongxuan Sheng immediately.

This is a little reminder, in terms of identity, Fourteen is Zhong Xuan Sheng's personal guard, and also a family death soldier, prioritizing the family over the master.

Zhong Xuan Sheng first performed a courteous bow to Lao Ye Zhong Xuan, then burst into unrestrained laughter: "Fourteen!"

Shi Fourteen lowered her head slightly, as if in response. She glanced at Jiang Wang again and nodded.

For Fourteen, this was a rare recognition and greeting, still considering their past fights side by side on the sunlit battlefield.

Jiang Wangyi followed Chong Xuan's lead and said, "Jiang Wangyi has met the Marquis."

Zhong Xuan Yunbo raised a hand slightly: "There's no need for formalities. Chu Liang told me about you, saying you're not bad!"

To be mentioned by Chong Xuan Zhu Liang before the Marquis of Bowang, is truly an honor.

"I am unworthy of the praise given by Duke Dingyuan," said Jiang Wangqian.

"With just a slight nod, Chongxuan Yunbo turned to Chongxuan Shengdao, “Let’s talk amongst ourselves, members of the Chongxuan family”

Given his status, it's already quite a lot that he would even speak to Jiang Wang.

At this moment, there was something I wanted to tell Chongxuan Sheng, but I didn't think Jiang Wang had the right to listen.

>

Jiang Wang wouldn't argue with the old master of Chongxuan in front of him, so upon hearing this, he was about to take his leave.

But a fat hand grabbed him.

Chongxuan looked at the old marquis and said, "If it's just casual talk between grandson and grandfather, then it's only me and Grandfather speaking. If we're talking about matters concerning the Chongxuan family... Grandfather, my grandson has nothing that Jiang Wang can't hear. Fourteenth is the same."

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

"When my grandson had nothing, it was Shi Fourteen who accompanied him. When my grandson's future was uncertain, it was Jiang Wang and Shi Fourteen who, together with me, ventured into the Heavenly Vault Secret Realm. In Yangdi, it was the three of us who fought bravely, carving out our current position! Grandfather, my grandson's success is due to their contributions."

Shi Fourteen had always been taciturn, and Jiang Wang was also silent.

Zhonghuan Yunbo glanced at his grandson for a moment and said, “Mount Fu has been repaired, but it’s not as good as it used to be!”

Fourteen's armor, the Negative Yue Jia, had once been broken before. It was repaired after that, but on the battlefield in Yangdi, it was damaged again by Ji Cheng's arrow.

Zhong Xuan pondered for a moment, then replied, “There’s no need to be like before!”

Chongxuan Yunbo sighed: "The armor can be repaired, but people cannot."

There is a hint of sorrow in the words.

Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!

What Jiang Wang didn't know was that Ming Jia Fu Yue, had once been the Jia of Chong Xuan Sheng's father, Chong Xuan Fu Tu. As he died in battle, this Jia also shattered on the battlefield.

After being repaired, it was no longer as good as it once was. This item was left to Chong Xuan Sheng as a relic, and Chong Xuan Sheng passed it on to the fourteenth.

"Grandfather," Chongxuan said, "If it cannot be mended, then there is no need to mend. The same goes for objects and people!"

Zhong Xuan Yun Bo hopes for many grandchildren and a harmonious family, but how is that possible

He hoped so, but also knew it wasn't realistic.

Therefore, sighing, he replied: "I know you hate Jiang Wuliang, but he has been imprisoned for nineteen years. You really don't need to strike another blow and cut off his hopes for the rest of his life."

Jiang Wuliang's place of imprisonment is called Qing Shi Gong.

This palace name is very meaningful.

Besides the discussion of stones and jade, let me tell you about the character "青".

The prince generally resides in the East Palace, and since the east belongs to wood, it governs the color green, and a green palace often refers to the East Palace.

Although Qi Jun truly despised the crown prince, a sliver of unspoken expectation lingered in his heart. After all, he was his firstborn son, having accompanied him through arduous years.

And this time, Chong Xuan Sheng's letting go of the death penalty against Zhi not only punished the Ju Bao Merchant Guild but also dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Wuliang, pushing him further down into the abyss.

Just...why say that Chongxuan surpasses Hate Jiang Wu-Liang

Why does he hate the former Crown Prince

Jiang Wang remained silent, realizing that he was about to hear a long-forgotten story about the Chongxuan family and even the state of Qi.
