Chapter 439: Chapter 107: “Pill Doctor Par Excellence” Gu Hanyu_1

…

Ping’an Town.

No matter what chaos and discord were outside, Ping’an Town always maintained peace and tranquility, and the lives of ordinary people didn’t undergo any changes.

For ordinary people, the strife among the prominent families was far away from their world. They didn’t really care which family became stronger and which one declined. To them, these issues were merely topics of discussion after meals, entertaining for a brief moment and quickly forgotten.

What they really cared about was their simple daily lives.

Over the years, with the rapid development of the industries under the Ping’an Wang Family, the opportunities to make a fortune increased dramatically. As a result, the townsfolk’s wallets grew fatter, and naturally, their lives improved.

The most obvious change was that there were more smiles on the faces of the townsfolk.

The common people are practical. They gravitate towards whoever makes their lives better.

As a result, the prestige of the Ping’an Wang Family in Ping’an Town has already reached an extraordinarily high level. Many people feel fortunate and proud to live in Ping’an Town.

Could the lives of people in other towns be as good as theirs?

As for the subsequent impact of the deaths of Huangfu Hua Ye and Huangfu Jinghuan, it will gradually emerge after some time.

Surely, for Wang Shouzhe, with the death of Huangfu Hua Ye, the Huangfu Clan of Changning is no different from a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, easily wrapped up.

Wang family’s main residence.

Wang Shouzhe’s courtyard remains the same, simple yet elegant, displaying a strong living atmosphere.

In the courtyard, besides the pavilion and stone table which once used to serve Fang Youan and Sister Green Fern, Wang Shouzhe is now sitting across from a man and a woman, drinking tea and chatting leisurely.

The woman, wearing a sword whip around her waist, is dressed in a red armor with a black banner. She’s in perfect physical shape and emanating a majestic air – it’s Wang Luotong.

Having spent many years on the front lines in Qianma Town, her temperament has become more refined. She now has a bit of the imposing demeanor of the Principal.

The man sitting beside her is a handsome young man from a prominent family, dressed with great care.

It is indeed Lei Bowu, the direct heir of the Lei Family in Changning.

Since being taught a harsh lesson by Luotong at the Xu Family’s Pill Furnace in Changning, he has taken pleasure in frequently “visiting” Wang Luotong in Qianma Town.

This infatuation has been ongoing for several years now, and Wang Shouzhe has even run into him a few times.

“Bowu, try this Cloud Mist Spirit Tea.”

Wang Shouzhe, with a faint smile on his face, personally pours tea for Lei Bowu, making no attempt to put on airs.

“Many, many thanks, Master Shouzhe.” Lei Bowu respectfully and nervously accepts the tea with slight apprehension, clearly awestruck by Wang Shouzhe.

“Fourth Brother.” Wang Luotong sweetly said, “Why are you so polite to him? Such shameless tagalong should be driven out of our Wang Mansion.”

Saying this, she frowned and shot a fierce look at Lei Bowu.

Lei Bowu’s hand shook, nearly spilling the tea, and his face flashed embarrassment.

“Luotong, Bowu is our guest, don’t be impolite.” Wang Shouzhe withdrew his smile, solemnly criticizing Wang Luotong’s behavior.

“Yes… Fourth Brother.”

Wang Luotong was somewhat wronged, but she didn’t want to linger and withdrew her gaze reluctantly.

While she was undertaking expansion and business development outside, she was a decisive and bold woman. In front of her brothers and nephews, she enjoyed her role as a domineering sister. Only in front of Wang Shouzhe, she behaves like an obedient daughter.

Has Lei Bowu ever seen her like this?

The typically charming and domineering “Queen Luotong” becoming soft and gentle could intoxicate anyone’s heart.

For a moment, he was so infatuated that he was lost in her charm.

“Luotong, don’t worry about your Fourth Brother. Come on, try the Red Crystal Cake I made myself.”

At this moment, Liu Ruolan, dressed in a long water-blue dress, gracefully arrived with some spirit fruit cakes. At this time, her temperament was dignified and gentle, very different from when she beheaded the Celestial being as the Hundred Islands Guard.

“Fourth Sister-in-law.” Wang Luotong quickly rose to pay her respects, accepted the fruit plate and helped to set the table, saying, “Fourth Brother taught me right, I was impolite.”

As for Lei Bowu, he too quickly stood up, cupped his hands in salute: “Lei Bowu, greets the Master’s wife.”

Being a part of the Heavenly Human Direct Lineage, when it came to manners, he was the epitome of a well-bred young master.

“Bowu, you are too polite, let’s continue our discussion while sitting down.” After greeting him, Liu Ruolan pulled Luotong’s hand and exchanged pleasantries for a while.

The group continued to drink their spirit tea, eat spirit fruits and cakes, and engaged in casual conversation.

During this time, Liu Ruolan held onto Wang Luotong’s hand and asked in a low voice: “Luotong, what do you think of Bowu? It seems he has fallen for you, heart and soul. Some time ago, the Lei family even asked my father to mediate a marriage proposal on their behalf. However, your Fourth Brother did not directly agree since he was unsure about your intentions.”

Although her voice was soft, the abilities of the other people present were not ordinary, so it wasn’t difficult for them to hear everything clearly.

Lei Bowu instantly became nervous, stealing glances at Wang Luotong, looking downward.

“Sister-in-law, Fourth Brother promised me that if I didn’t want to get married, I wouldn’t have to.” Wang Luotong subtly bit her lip, “Since I was little, I hated the phrase ‘girls eventually have to get married’. I have secretly vowed that I will prove myself and make a name for myself as a woman.”

“Sigh~”

Wang Shouzhe sighed inwardly. How could he not know Luotong’s thoughts?

This was all the fault of the Fourth Grandfather, Wang Xiaozhi, who held strong patriarchal views. He casually repeated the phrase ‘girls eventually have to get married’.
