Quick Transmigration: Pangu is Actually My Brother

Chapter 370 A Step-by-Step Thrill (4)

After lunch, Wangyou pulled Ruoxi to digest their food, and then when they turned around, they saw a screen.

"This screen looks nice, but the people on it look somewhat familiar," Wangyou muttered, looking at the man on the screen riding a horse and cracking his whip.

Ruolan stared blankly at the screen, and Wangyou didn't ask any more questions.

Not long after, Wangyou took her leave.

When she got home and saw the busy figure in the study, Wangyou suddenly felt a slight pang of conscience, but she quickly put it out of her mind.

Instead of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Eighth Prince's Mansion next door was going to celebrate the Tenth Prince's birthday.

When Ruoxi came to find Wangyou, she learned that the Tenth Prince actually wanted Ruolan to handle the arrangements for him. The records said that the 893 people were exceptionally good, and now it seems that their relationship is indeed quite good.

However, the investigation data shows that the Ninth Prince was a business genius, but most of the money he earned went into the pocket of the Eighth Prince, making him seem like a sucker. But in such cases, it's a matter of one willing to give and the other willing to receive.

And then there's the Tenth Prince. If we're talking about Manchu bloodlines, the Tenth Prince's lineage is three times more noble than the Crown Prince's. After all, the Crown Prince's birth mother was just a concubine's daughter from the Hesheli clan. If it weren't for the complicated circumstances back then, a concubine's daughter wouldn't have been the Empress.

It's a pity that such a good prince was treated like a silly husky, following behind the Eighth Prince and wholeheartedly assisting him.

Both the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince were of higher status than the Eighth Prince, but he managed to win them over. One provided them with money, and the other provided them with connections. It was truly ingenious.

Wangyou dislikes children born out of wedlock because the Xie family only recognizes legitimate offspring. If any member of the clan has an illegitimate child, that entire branch of the family will be expelled from the Xie family.

Such things are discussed in the ancestral hall. She remembered that when she was five years old, a member of a collateral branch of the family fell in love with a woman from the foot of the mountain. This was not a big deal in itself, as the Xie family did not value social status. However, the problem was that the man was already married.

When the clan discovered the affair, the woman was already heavily pregnant. The clan chief was furious because it was impossible for no one to cover up such a serious matter, as the Xie family placed great emphasis on educating their clansmen.

The clan chief was determined to investigate thoroughly. After finding out the truth, all the members of that branch were brought to the ancestral hall. All the clan members went to the ancestral hall to watch. The clan chief opened the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors and directly removed all the members of that branch from the genealogy.

The moment their names were crossed off the family tree, the wooden plaques around their necks flew out, directly draining their bloodline. After that, the plaques disappeared.

Then, the group that had fallen into a coma was all sent down the mountain overnight. In less than two years, because that bloodline had been removed, that group became extremely weak. Many of the things they had learned in the Xie family gradually disappeared from their minds as they went down the mountain, and their lifespan was also running out.

Wangyou later asked the clan leader why that branch of the clan was expelled from the clan, since some people were unaware of the situation. The clan leader told her that as the head of a clan, one must consider not only immediate interests but also long-term interests.

Many families lived at the same time as the Xie family, but only the Xie family's history has lasted for five thousand years without interruption. This is because of the strictness of the Xie family rules. Letting those who are unaware of the truth go is like planting a time bomb for the Xie family, which may bring about the family's destruction at any time.

This is why the successors of the Xie family patriarch are all unmarried. Because with blood ties come ties, it's hard not to have selfish motives. And once they become candidates for patriarch, their relationships with other members of the family will gradually fade.

Wangyou and Xixuan are the most talented people of their generation. Wangyou is a silver dragon, while Xixuan is a black dragon. The clan leader told them that they were both included in the assessment.

Because of their unexpected birth, the strange fate was broken. Sending them down the mountain was both a trial and a chance for them to enjoy the only free time before becoming the clan leader. After all, if you can live for hundreds of years, it's okay to spend a hundred years playing around.

Wangyou thought a lot. In fact, she knew that the so-called candidates were only the two of them. Others no longer had the qualifications to compete with them unless they got married and had children. Otherwise, it was impossible to eliminate them.

A good leader is crucial for the development of the clan. If there is a best, one will certainly not settle for second best, unless both are incompetent.

After spending a few days with Ruoxi, Wangyou also got to know the other princes, all of whom were quite handsome.

Wangyou also learned why Ruoxi liked playing with the Tenth Prince so much. He could only be described as a breath of fresh air in the royal family, because while others had eight hundred schemes, he only had one or two, and they weren't even the best ones.

Playing with this kind of person is effortless. After getting to know them well, Wangyou successfully received an invitation to the Tenth Prince's birthday celebration.

"Xi Xuan, do you want to come along?"

"Sister, you should go too. I want to relax a bit." Xi Xuan was overjoyed that his sister had finally remembered him.

Time flew by and the day of the birthday banquet arrived. After much deliberation, Wangyou chose a red dress and Xixuan wore a purple robe.

After changing their clothes, the two took the gifts and went out.

The Eighth Prince's Residence.

Mingyu and Ruoxi started bickering as soon as they met. Ruoxi used to think of Mingyu as just an immature child, but after learning that Mingyu was the culprit who almost killed her, she no longer thought of her as just a child.

At this moment, Ruolan and Ruoxi met Minghui and Mingyu by chance. Ruolan, being gentle, pulled Minghui to bow, but Ruoxi refused.

"Ruoxi, I'm here." Wangyou called out and walked over, helping Ruolan up.

“I know that a concubine should bow to the primary wife, but I didn’t know that a prince’s wife should bow to a princess who has no rank. Is my information wrong, or are the so-called noble ladies really so ill-mannered?”

"Sister, they just want to bully people," Xi Xuan said with a smile.

Wangyou's words were a direct and blunt rebuke, and Minghui and Mingyu's expressions turned extremely ugly.

"I am the second young lady of the Guo Luo Luo family, how can you lowly sluts compare to me!" Mingyu said angrily without thinking.

"Slap!" Wangyou slapped him across the face. "Looks like your Guo Luoluo family has a lot of power."

“Sister, if you’re going to hit someone next time, tell me. What if your hand hurts? And that thick layer of powder on her face looks so dirty!” Xi Xuan said, handing Wang You a handkerchief.

"If you dare to hit me, my father will not let you get away with it."

"Slap!" Another slap. "Even your father wouldn't dare talk to me like that, who do you think you are!"

"Wangyou, Xixuan, you're here. What's going on?" The Tenth Prince walked over and noticed the tense atmosphere, so he quickly came over and asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that it's the first time I've seen a murderer so arrogant, so I'm just teaching him a lesson."
