Chapter 17 Wangjiang City, The Powerful Wang Family

The night was long, and the love felt as if it could last a hundred years, yet it still felt insufficient.

As the morning light shone through the window, Wang Jiayun groggily sat up in bed, revealing her fair and radiant complexion.

The flush on her face had not yet dissipated, adding a different kind of charm to her delicate appearance.

Looking at the small man by the bed, she wondered when he had left.

At that moment, he was downstairs leisurely practicing swordsmanship.

Wang Jiayun faintly heard Ping'er clapping and praising him, her laughter clear and melodious like silver bells.

After dressing herself up, Wang Jiayun gracefully descended the stairs in a deep blue gown, her slender and straight legs faintly visible beneath the skirt, her movements gentle and elegant.

She had changed out of her favorite light purple dress, symbolizing a new beginning and bidding farewell to the past.

After a night of nourishment, Wang Jiayun's skin seemed even smoother and fairer than the day before. Her delicate features appeared full of vitality, with a straight and elegant nose, long and thick eyelashes. Even her daughter, Shangguan Ping, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Mother, you look so beautiful today!"

Honglin's eyes brightened, and she exclaimed, "It seems that Lady Wang had a good rest last night. Your face is glowing with energy, and combined with your naturally exquisite beauty, I can't help but wonder if you are Ping'er's mother or sister."

"Thank you for your compliments."

When the events of last night were mentioned, Wang Jiayun's fair face immediately turned red, and her beautiful eyes subtly glanced at Chen Changsheng.

She saw him smiling at her with a meaningful look in his eyes.

Zong Hong, on the other hand, tactfully looked away, afraid to boldly meet Lady Wang's gaze for fear of causing any misunderstandings.

After breakfast, the carriage set off once again.

Chen Changsheng still sat beside Wang Jiayun, his face showing no signs of anything unusual. Both of them remained calm, as if nothing had happened last night.

In fact, neither of them dared to take last night's actions too seriously.

Wang Jiayun had been experiencing intense emotional fluctuations recently, and as a mother, she didn't want to show any signs of weakness in front of her daughter. So behind her seemingly strong facade, she was actually on the verge of breaking down.

She needed to release her emotions and find solace in a safe harbor.

And the poison from the innkeeper happened to become the catalyst.

After the incident, both Chen Changsheng and Wang Jiayun chose to remain silent, treating last night as if it were just a dream.

...

A few days later.

The carriage arrived at Wangjiang City.

The scale of this city was incomparable to Heavenly Veil City.

From a distance, it resembled a crouching behemoth, exuding a vast aura. The glory of its history was engraved on every brick and stone of its walls, inspiring awe in those who beheld it.

"Senior Brother, there's a cavalry unit at the city gate. It seems like they're watching us," Zong Hong said in a deep voice as he drove the carriage.

Chen Changsheng lifted the curtain, and Wang Jiayun leaned in to take a look, softly saying, "Don't worry, it's my second uncle leading the team to receive us."

Just as the black market knew how to send messages with carrier pigeons, the Wang family naturally had their own carrier pigeons.

While on the road, Wang Jiayun had sent back detailed information to the Wang family.

A large group of cavalry rapidly approached and stopped on both sides of the carriage. The leader was a middle-aged man with a resolute face, sharp eyes, and a surging aura. At first glance, he appeared to be a seasoned warrior.

"Second Uncle!"

Wang Jiayun waved to the man, her face blossoming with a smile.

Wang Qingjun dismounted from his warhorse and walked to the front of the carriage. He said in a deep voice, "Have you been wronged? We will make the Shangguan family pay for this. Come, let's go home with us."

His gaze shifted to Chen Changsheng.

He found that he couldn't see through this man sitting next to his niece. He looked young and handsome, but his aura was unfathomable.

No wonder he was able to safely escort his niece for thousands of miles and easily evade the pursuit of the black market bounty.

This person is definitely a top Martial Artist!

Wang Qingjun sincerely and politely clasped his fists towards Chen Changsheng and the others, his voice resounding, "I am Wang Qingjun. Thank you all for escorting us all the way. Welcome to the Wang family in Wangjiang!"

"We can talk about pleasantries later. We have traveled a long distance for a month and are quite tired. Please trouble Brother Wang to lead the way into the city and welcome us." Chen Changsheng returned the gesture with clasped fists and smiled.

"Yes, it's my fault. I forgot about the main matter. Please follow me to the military camp."

Wang Qingjun rode his warhorse at the forefront, leading the cavalry to escort the carriage. The guards at the city gate did not dare to stop them and let them enter the city directly.

It can be seen that the Wang family has a high position of power in Wangjiang City.

Chen Changsheng's decision to escort them was correct. This city is vast and prosperous, and with the care of the Wang family, he believes that the days ahead will be quite comfortable.

After arranging everyone in the guest rooms of the Wang family courtyard, Wang Qingjun had two maidservants attend to Chen Changsheng's cleanliness. He changed into a luxurious silk robe and then brought out a variety of delicacies for him to enjoy.

"This is the enjoyment of life!"

Chen Changsheng, who had eaten and drunk his fill, leaned back in a soft and luxurious chair, enjoying the maidservants' shoulder and leg massages. He couldn't help but sigh.

The happiest days in Heavenly Veil City in the past couldn't compare to today's experience.

It's really comfortable!

"Do you know about Madam Wang's situation?" Chen Changsheng suddenly asked.

The two maidservants' faces changed slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded slightly.

Divorce has a great impact on a woman's reputation. Once a woman in this world gets divorced, she becomes a widow and will live a lonely life forever. No man will marry her.

The news that Madam Wang was abandoned by her husband and was being hunted down for six thousand miles had long spread throughout the entire Wang family courtyard.

"What does the Wang family plan to do?"

Chen Changsheng was not trying to test whether they would gossip, but wanted to know what actions the Wang family would take in order to judge the extent of their background.

"Naturally, we will go to the Shangguan family to demand justice and torture Shangguan Yu to death!" The maidservant who was massaging Chen Changsheng's leg clenched her fist and said fiercely, "Anyone who dares to offend our Wang family will pay a bloody price. If the Shangguan family cannot give a satisfactory response, the Wang family will surely crush the Shangguan residence!"

"Is the Shangguan family also in Wangjiang City?"

The maidservant who was massaging Chen Changsheng's shoulder answered, "The main branch of the Shangguan family is in Wangjiang City, while the collateral branches are in Heavenly Veil City. Shangguan Yu is the only direct descendant of the Heavenly Veil City branch, so his misdeeds directly affect the entire Shangguan family."

"I see."

Chen Changsheng chuckled lightly and said, "But you're wrong about one thing. It's not Shangguan Yu's misdeeds that affect the family, but rather his collaboration with the family in committing misdeeds. Over the years, I don't know how much money the Wang family has spent on him. This time, I'm afraid he will have to pay it all back."

"The Shangguan family is truly despicable. As the young master said, our Wang residence will be busy. I apologize for not being able to entertain you immediately. If you have any needs, just tell Xiaoying and Xingzhen. After the matter is resolved, the Wang residence will definitely hold a banquet to express our gratitude to the young master!"

"It's alright. If there is any new information, remember to inform me."

Chen Changsheng waved his hand, letting Xiaoying and Xingzhen leave the room.
