Chapter 91: Taboo of the Wang Clan! (1/2)

“Lord, Fourth gongzi is here!”

Just as everyone was speaking, a black-armored Imperial Army expert with a thick spear in his hand walked in and kneeled onto the floor respectfully.

“Oh!”

Hearing those words, everyone’s eyes lit up. The old master also sat slightly more upright:

“Allow him to enter!”

“Little uncle is finally here!”

Standing by the side, when Wang Chong heard those words, his attention was piqued as well. The Wang Clan four siblings consisted of big uncle, big aunt, father, and not to forget, little uncle.

Even though little uncle didn’t live too far away, his condition was the most unique of the four. Little uncle was a commander of the Imperial Army Training Camp, and he shouldered the responsibility of picking out the elites from the various lands and train them at Tianzhu Mountain.

The further studies of the Imperial Army elites fell under his scope of responsibilities as well.

Thus, even though he didn’t live too far from the capital, as a guard of the Imperial Army of the Sage Emperor, his freedom was restricted.

“Hahaha, brother, sister-in-laws, big sister, uncle… You’re all here!”

From the entrance of the Four Quarters Embassy, a light-hearted chuckle sounded. Soon, a thin but powerful-looking, young, tanned general walked in.

“Father, son has returned to offer you blessings!”

Upon walking through the entrance, that young general respectfully bowed to the old master and old lady.

“Hehe, Mi-er, it’s good that you’re back!”

The old lady immediately grew agitated upon seeing the young general. Seeing his tanned skin, she felt her heart ache for him.

Wang Chong’s little uncle was the youngest of the second generation of the Wang Clan, as well as the only spouseless one. This was also the greatest worry of the old lady.

“Come in. You’ve worked hard at the Tianzhu Mountain.”

In contrast to the old lady, the old master was much calmer.

Little uncle nodded and glanced about. Very soon, his gaze fell on Wang Chong, and he secretly winked.

Wang Chong couldn’t help but smile.

Of the elders, Wang Chong was the closest to this little uncle. As his little uncle was the youngest of the second generation, the age gap between him and Wang Chong was the smallest as well.

More importantly, little uncle had a cheerful nature, so he didn’t bear much expectations of the younger generation. In his previous life, when Wang Chong was undergoing his rebellious phase, and all of the elders were disappointed in him and criticized him, only little uncle didn’t put on airs and joked around with him.

Thus, of all the elders in the clan, Wang Chong was the most fond of this little uncle, and he was the closest to him as well.

Little uncle walked over and sat beside Uncle Li Lin.

Little uncle has been busy on Tianzhu Mountain, and it was rare for him to come and visit. The old master asked him about his present condition, and little uncle replied his queries patiently.

“Now, only Yan-er isn’t here!”

Having the offsprings of the Wang Clan gathered here delighted the old master, and the smile on his face was clearly much brighter than before. However, when those words fell into Xing Yuan Chun’s ears, she coldly muttered:

“Hmph, isn’t there another one in the jail?”

Weng!

The moment Wang Chong’s big aunt’s words sounded, the atmosphere in the entire hall turned cold. Everyone fell silently, and their gazes fell onto Xing Yuan Chun.

Zhao Shu Hua felt a sour sensation in her nose, and tears nearly fell from her eyes.

Even Wang Chong turned solemn.

Wang Chong knew that Big Aunt Xing Yuan Chun was talking about his second brother, Wang Bei. Other than his little sister, Wang Chong had two elder brothers.

Big brother has followed father’s footsteps, and he was currently out leading an army. However, second brother’s condition was slightly unique, and he was currently locked up in a cell.

This has always been his mother’s sore spot.

But everyone knew that this wasn’t second brother’s fault.

Everyone in the Wang Clan knew that the issue regarding Wang Chong’s second brother was a taboo.

“Wh-What are you all looking at me for? It’s not like I’ve said anything wrong! …”

Big Aunt Xing Yuan Chun knew that she misspoke, but as the mistress of the main family and before such a huge crowd, she was unwilling to admit her mistake.

“Enough!”

Big Uncle Wang Gen’s complexion was awful.

Despite knowing that the old master didn’t like to hear such words, she intentionally brought this matter up. Wasn’t this an obvious attempt to sully the old master’s mood?

“Can’t my mother even speak of a fact?”

Displeased, Wang Li stood in front of her mother and stared furiously at his father.

Wang Chong ignored them, and instead, he was musing over another matter.

“Thinking about it, it has already been three months!”

Wang Chong thought.

“… I should pay him a visit.”

Among Wang Chong’s siblings and kin, the one whom Wang Chong was the most distant from, as well as the coldest and prideful person of the Wang Clan, wasn’t Cousin Wang Li, but Second Brother Wang Bei.

Cousin Wang Li was so arrogant that he would disregard Wang Chong’s mother, but compared to Second Brother Wang Bei, he was truly a hill before a mountain.

Second Brother Wang Bei was close with no one.
