Rebirth of Coiling Dragon

Chapter 87 - Fiancé

In the huge living room of the castle, the giant glass ceiling lamp shone under the light of the candle, reflecting a charming light. The nobles of the Cerre City were gathered here.

"I heard that Count Wade's son is back. I wonder how the Mrs. Wade will deal with this."

"Who knows? But definitely, the Mrs. Wade will not give up her power. "

"Mrs. Wade is too ruthless. It was also her bad luck that her precious son died on a woman's stomach. This is hilarious. " The nobles were all whispering to each other.

Which noble in the Cerre City didn't know that the Mrs. Wade was a tyrannical and domineering woman? However, while living in Cerre City, they would at most mutter to themselves in secret, but they did not dare to offend the Mrs. Wade on the surface.

"Mrs. Wade is here."

Immediately, the nobles stopped their discussion and turned to look at Mrs. Wade who was walking down the stairs. Mrs. Wade's clothes were still luxurious as usual and her posture was still as haughty as before.

Mrs. Wade enjoyed being watched by everyone, her head raised slightly as she walked down the stairs.

"Everyone." The Mrs. Wade laughed and said, "Today is a day of great joy. My two poor children have suffered for eight years. I'm finally back today. "

At this moment, two people suddenly walked out from the staircase.

A teenager in black gentleman's clothing and a blonde girl in a white dress walked out together. Many of the nobles' eyes lit up.

Although Zhan Ni's clothes were simple and unadorned, matching with her appearance and body, coupled with his gentle and pure temperament. However, it caused everyone's hearts to tremble. Many young noblemen decided to ask about it later. A message from this woman.

"Zhan Ni, Ji En, come here." The Mrs. Wade warmly greeted.

Zhan Ni, Ji En also walked down the stairs and stood beside Mrs. Wade. Mrs. Wade introduced enthusiastically: "This is Zhan Ni. Look, what a beautiful girl. And this handsome youth is Ji En. " Mrs. Wade exclaimed: "Zhan Ni, Ji En has finally passed through those bitter days, but their mother, that good sister of mine …" Mrs. Wade's eyes were a little red, as though he was about to cry.

"Eldest Madam, if Second Madam knew that you were so concerned about her, she would definitely be very touched." An elderly voice sounded, as Lambert and Lin Feng walked out from the side.

Mrs. Wade glanced at Lambert.

Lambert had been the most loyal servant of the Second Madam. Even after her downfall, Lambert had followed her without any regrets.

However, Zhan Ni and Ji En felt very unsettled in their hearts.

They knew that the reason why their mother had died, the eight years of suffering they had suffered were all caused by the aunt in front of them. Zhan Ni still knew how to endure, but Ji En, who was only fourteen years old, could not help but ridicule his. "Aunt, why haven't you come to visit us these past eight years?

Mrs. Wade's expression did not change as she said with a sigh: "All these years, I have always been forcing matters of Cerre City to work hard, and I have never had the time to do it. Every time I think about it, I feel that I owe you and your brother too much. "

Lin Feng smiled and said directly: "Mrs. Wade, Lord Duke Wei De has passed away. Ji En is his successor. This time, the reason that Ji En rushed back was to inherit the position of City Lord. I wonder when Mrs. Wade is planning to let Ji En take over the position of City Lord? "

Hearing this, the entire living room immediately quieted down.

All of the nobles present understood that the main event had arrived.

At the same time, those nobles also looked at Lin Feng in confusion. They didn't know where this young man came from, but he had actually asked such a direct question.

"Mr. Lin Feng." "As their aunt, I am very grateful to you for protecting Ji En and Zhan Ni to the Cerre City. But letting Ji En inherit the position of City Master is an internal matter of our family, it's not good for an outsider like you to interfere. "

Lin Feng's face did not change, he turned and smiled at Ji En, because he remembered that Ji En's following sentence in the book was very impressive.

Sure enough, Ji En immediately retorted: "Who said Big Brother Feng is an outsider?"

"If he isn't an outsider, then what is he?" Mrs. Wade's face was very cold.

Ji En was startled, he looked at Lin Feng, and raised his head: "Big brother Feng is, is my sister's fiance, how can he be an outsider?"

"Fiancé?" Mrs. Wade was confused.

Zhan Ni was stunned.

Only Lin Feng laughed in his heart, he had been waiting for these exact words.

Zhan Ni's face flushed red.

"How is it?" Ji En proudly raised his head, "My future brother-in-law should have the qualifications to talk about this. Aunt, my father is dead, and my brother is also dead.

The Mrs. Wade was silent.

Everyone present looked at the Mrs. Wade, it was natural for Ji En to inherit the City Lord's position, as she was protected by the laws of the empire. They wanted to see what the Mrs. Wade would do.

"Haha, Ji En, what are you so anxious about?" Mrs. Wade laughed and said, "Your father died. Now that you are your father's only son, you are naturally the first successor. The City Lord's position must be yours. No one will fight with you for it. "

"Thank you, Auntie." Ji En smiled and said, "When will I take over as the City Lord?" The Mrs. Wade laughed and said: "There's no rush, there's no rush. Now, Ji En, you have not reached adulthood yet.

"Two years later?" Ji En glared at him.

However, the Mrs. Wade was smiling merrily, "Ji En, good child, you are still not an adult and have not enough power to manage a city yet. Don't worry, two years from now, you will definitely become the city lord of the Cerre City.

Becoming the next Mayor two years later? In two years, what wouldn't happen? How could Ji En endure being under the nose of the Mrs. Wade for two years?

"I think I can." Ji En said firmly.

Mrs. Wade's expression turned serious as she said, "Ji En, calm down. You're still a child. The master of the Cerre City is the person who manages millions of citizens of the empire, you can't afford to shoulder such a heavy burden right now. "" No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no …

At this time, Zhan Ni who was beside Ji En spoke out: "Aunt, the laws of the empire did not say, that the City Lord's position can only be inherited after he has reached adulthood."

Mrs. Wade looked at Zhan Ni.

Zhan Ni did not yield at all as he looked at Mrs. Wade, and the two women of different ages just stared at each other.

"Right." The Mrs. Wade laughed and said, "There is indeed no written rule in the laws of the empire, only after you have reached adulthood can you inherit the City Lord's position. "However."

Mrs. Wade said somewhat sorrowfully, "Not long ago, after your father passed away, the clan found out about this news. They originally wanted your big brother to inherit the City Lord's position, but, that poor child …"

When they found out that Ji En was only fourteen years old, they received an order from the clan. This Cerre City is one of the most important counties in our Northwest Administrative Province, and it is located right next to the provincial capital of 'Basil'. The management of the county city is extremely important, and the clan ordered Ji En to become an adult before he could take over the seat.

"Clan?"

Ji En and Zhan Ni were both startled.

Hearing Sect Master's order, Zhan Ni and Ji En were a little stunned. As members of the Jacques Clan, Zhan Ni, Ji En and the others knew what the meaning of the clan was.

"Aunt, did the clan really give such an order?" Zhan Ni stared at Mrs. Wade.

Mrs. Wade frowned, and looked at Zhan Ni: "Zhan Ni, do you think I would lie to pass down my clan's orders? Before Ji En inherits the title of City Master, I will temporarily take charge of all the matters in the County City. "

"I am the future city lord, I have the authority to decide who will be the acting city lord." Ji En shouted in dissatisfaction.

Mrs. Wade looked at Ji En coldly.

Lin Feng, who had been standing quietly at the side, finally spoke out. "Mrs. Wade, your so-called clan did not give an order for you to act as the City Master, right?"

Mrs. Wade was stunned.

No matter how bold she was, she wouldn't dare to make up the orders from her clan.

Zhan Ni and Ji En belonged to the Jacques Clan, and the Jacques Clan was one of the few powerful clans in the entire O'Brien Empire.

The Northwest Administrative Province, one of the seven great provinces of the O'Brien Empire, was controlled by the Jacques clan.

As for Zhan Ni, Ji En's father, Wade Jax, he was only a member of the Jax Clan's branch family. If it wasn't for the Jacques clan, how could that cowardly Wade Jax become the city governor of a prefectural city?

And now Wade was dead.

In the eyes of the Jacques clan, the Cerre City would naturally still need to be taken on by the Jacques clan's personnel.

Although the Mrs. Wade had married Wei De, the Mrs. Wade was after all not a descendant of the Jacques clan. It was unlikely for the Jacques clan to give the position of City Lord to the Mrs. Wade.

"Hmph, if it weren't for those ancient characters in the clan …" The Mrs. Wade cursed in her heart.

No matter how powerful the Mrs. Wade was, she couldn't compare to the Jacques clan. With a single word, she was afraid that a noble lady like her would go out on the streets and beg for money tomorrow.

"I'm not an adult, but my sister is. I will send someone to the provincial capital of Basil. I believe that the clan's elders will let my sister be the City Lord's representative and not you! "

Ji En said proudly.

The grudge between Zhan Ni, Ji En, and the Mrs. Wade was impossible to conceal.

Just a few words were completely exposed during the banquet. After all, the mother of Zhan Ni and Ji En was essentially persecuted to death by the Mrs. Wade. Zhan Ni and Ji En were assassinated all the way.

"Good, good, if you're capable, then please ask the clan. I really want to see if the clan will hand over the responsibility of acting as the city lord to an eighteen year old girl." Mrs. Wade raised her chin and said proudly.

Ji En's face was also filled with stubbornness.

A fourteen year old teenager was at his most rebellious period. The more arrogant the Mrs. Wade was, the more Ji En would resist. Ji En also believed that his clan would definitely stand on his side. After all, he was a disciple of the Jacques Clan.

In fact, Lin Feng had thought of using absolute strength to kill the Mrs. Wade at the banquet. Not only could he deal with this annoying woman, he could also intimidate the nobles of the Cerre City.

But after thinking about it carefully, Lin Feng gave up. After all, Ji En had just arrived at Cerre City, and his family's letter of appointment had not come down yet. Furthermore, the Mrs. Wade had a lot of accomplices in the Cerre City. If they were to directly kill the Mrs. Wade, not only would it fall to the demographics, it would also very likely cause a reaction from the supporters of the Mrs. Wade. The gains would not make up for the losses!

Oh right, he had to recommend it as well!

There was no need for that. It would take at least an hour to pass around a hundred thousand words!

This is the first chapter!
