Don’t be too poisonous to the concubine of the Wu family who was born in Wu

Chapter 519 177. Black market situation (Situ Lan reports on the black market situation)
  Situ Lan was afraid that the Shangguan Marquis would remain calm, and there was definitely a sense that silence was better than sound in this place——

You must know that the master in front of you is the man with the most powerful martial arts in the wealthy family and the most thoughtful person.

Shangguan Marquis, however, does not like to express himself or show off. Whenever he wants to appear in the limelight, Shangguan Marquis's behavior is puzzling. He hides and avoids whenever he can, and gives it to his elder brother. I will never let myself be exposed in front of others and keep a low profile that makes people laugh.

Why?

Others thought that he was hiding his capabilities and biding his time, and that he was doing so in order to maintain a harmonious relationship between himself and his eldest brother.

Shangguan Marquis never competes with his eldest brother. This kind of second brother who is both capable and reasonable will be praised by his elders for his understanding and general knowledge.

He will not take credit for himself or be arrogant or self-righteous.

In this way, it seems that the eldest son of his family is too pushy and cannot tolerate his second brother being even half better than him.

Others won't say much in front of others, but they don't have a clue in their hearts.

Who doesn't know that the Shangguan clan's statement is far superior to that of the Shangguan princes?
  Marquis Shangguan knew that his martial arts attainments far surpassed those of his brothers. At this time, the more he had to be humble and low-key——

A big tree attracts the wind, and a popular person attracts jealousy.

Not saying anything or doing anything has already attracted many looks of disgust.

Because of your existence, others will be overshadowed and dwarfed by you.

If you are more public and act in a high-profile manner, others will make a fuss about your character.

In order to destroy a strong man, things can happen out of nowhere, let alone such a common method to use the topic?

The only way for me to survive is to give up all my pride and be humble on the outside. Although my abilities are obvious to all, I don't fight for them. This is my way to survive.

Sometimes, not fighting is the real fight - the reincarnation of the world, the wind and water come and go, no one knows who's fate.

After Shangguan Marquis broke through the Nine Lotus Spirit Taming Technique, he deeply realized that there were too many others who congratulated and pretended to flatter him. How many people were gritting their teeth and jealous of him under this smile?
  Isn’t that what people are like? Is it possible to be jealous of others, but not to laugh at others?

Those superficial flashes are just flattering for themselves, but how many people actually sincerely wish you well?
  Marquis Shangguan, who grew up in a country of machinations and has lived to this day, knows better than anyone else the difference between the two faces in front of and behind others. Those who smile on the outside and lay bricks behind you will wait until you are unable to stand still and are on the verge of collapse. At that time, he kicked you so fiercely that you fell so badly that you were hurt. Instead of helping you, they would give you a few more kicks, fearing that you were not dead enough and that one day you would make a comeback, which would be the end of that person's death... …

Marquis Shangguan is very aware of the methods of those in the wealthy family, so naturally he is very clear-minded on some matters.

It may not be a good thing when someone favors you. It is very likely that those Machiavellian people have already drawn a trap for you and invite you to enter the urn. When you are stupid and unaware, others will try to catch the turtle in the urn. How can you even think of yourself? It’s unclear by whose hands he died.

Therefore, no matter what time you are, you must learn to be cautious in your words and deeds, assess the situation, and be prepared for danger in times of peace. This is the long-term solution.     Be careful about your own mouth, your own behavior, and your servants, and do not give others the chance to take advantage of you.

Of course, just defending yourself is not the best way to survive. If you want to live longer in a wealthy family, you must learn to find the shortcomings of others, give others their sweet spots, buy their good points, and discover their shortcomings. This is Your own life-saving talisman.

The two-pronged approach of clamping and sugar-coated bullets will make other people obey your orders and have no choice but to do so.

Dongfang Shuo had served Shangguan Marquis for many years, but he still did not dare to speak too much. He was observant and cautious.

Even close confidants like Dongfang Shuo couldn't figure out the nature and temperament of Marquis Shangguan. One can imagine how deeply this man hides -

No one trusts Shangguan Marquis and everyone is on guard.

For Marquis Shangguan, confidants are just relative items. In the eyes of others, the people whom Marquis Shangguan trusts so much are just chess pieces that he can easily use around him.

Dongfang Shuo leaned over carefully and said, "My lord, look at the waiter outside knocking on the door and bringing food. Do I want to..."

Marquis Shangguan waved his hand, signaling Dongfang Shuo to get the food.

Seeing this, Dongfang Shuo quickly walked out the door, opened the door, took the tray from the waiter, straightened his posture, and handed over the tray filled with food and drinks.

Marquis Shangguan raised his eyes slightly and continued to ask: "Over there in the black market, what's going on with your inquiries?"

Situ Lan was still pale and frightened just now. He thought that he had done something bad and made Marquis Shangguan unhappy, so he would not get any good results. However, he did not want Marquis Shangguan to ask again, so he hurriedly stepped forward with his fist and carefully reported back.

"Sir, the people in the black market have mixed connections. Among them, Huang Shiliang, a confidant of Mr. Shangguan, has been operating in the black market for many years. He has made a lot of money and enriched his own pockets. According to the investigation, because of his position as the leader of the black market, he has done something for himself. For personal gain, his harem already has five beautiful and fragrant descendants of Tianmen, allowing them to use them for personal use and deceive the superiors and subordinates; he also colluded with the dark witch clan, mixed some daughters of the witch clan with immortal status, and sold them to them at high prices. Shangguan clan, but he used these real identities of Tianmen spirit girls to bid and set up a secret auction. Most of the senior executives and nobles participating in the auction were from the ghost and witch clans. The one with the highest price won, and the blood of Tianmen continued to flow. Being alienated, the descendants of the Tianmen are no longer just the descendants of the powerful sect, but also the descendants of the Wu clan and the ghost clan. The order of the black market is becoming more and more chaotic. Huang Shiliang has already covered the sky with one hand and has become the leader here. The famous local snake. After all, in the land of Nanxiang, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Huang Shiliang alone has the final say on what to say and do. Besides..."

During the time when Situ Lan was reporting the information, Dongfang Shuo was quick and easy. He laid out the food on the table in a short time and conducted a drug test. Only then did he feel confident and boldly pour the wine for his master. Pick up vegetables.

Marquis Shangguan raised his glass with one hand, raised his eyes slightly and said indifferently: "So what?"

Situ Lan thought about it and bravely replied: "Besides... I don't know whether Huang Shiliang's actions were done by him alone or if there was someone behind the scenes. It's hard to say..."

As soon as these words came out, Dongfang Shuo couldn't help but interjected: "What did you say? Is there someone behind the scenes? Do you know that Huang Shiliang is the confidant of the eldest son Shangguan? If he is authorized to give instructions, wouldn't he be the eldest son?" also……"

But he didn't expect that at this time, Marquis Shangguan responded calmly: "Huang Shiliang was so bold that he sold that lowly and despicable dark witch's daughter to my wealthy family. This crime will be punished by our wealthy family. How can a descendant of this clan mix into such an unclean bloodline? Everything can be avoided, but this crime cannot be forgiven lightly."
