Immortal Emperor's Life As A Son-in-law

Things are simple and not complicated, but there are still a few twists and turns in front of us.    

    

The reason was decades ago.    

    

At that time, Kong Yuan had yet to be born.    

    

However, Kong Yuan's father and second uncle, who were the current Kong family Master, had already grown up.    

    

Coincidentally, Kong Yuan's grandfather had grown up together, so naturally, the two brothers were pushed to the opposite side of each other in the competition for the position of the family master.    

    

The two brothers each developed their own methods and accepted a group of supporters.    

    

The competition for the new family head was getting fiercer and fiercer, but it had always been the eldest who had a slight upper hand.    

    

However, they were all family. No matter how they fought, their methods were still relatively mild.    

    

Until one day, an accident happened and drew an imperfect end to this competition.    

    

And the result was just like what Xiao Chen had heard just now.    

    

Kong Yuan's second uncle became the new family head, and Kong Yuan's father died in that accident.    

    

What was even more coincidental was that the old man, who was seriously ill, had also died.    

    

Kong Yuan's mother could not withstand the blow and also had an accident. In the end, she died on the operating table.    

    

In the end, in the Kong family's elder's room, only Kong Yuan, who had just been born, survived.    

    

After that, the new chief announced that he would adopt Kong Yuan in the future. He announced that he would treat Kong Yuan like his own son in the future.    

    

In fact, the patriarch of the Kong family had done the same.    

    

Just like what these guys had said, the Kong family Master had given Kong Yuan almost everything he could.    

    

Apart from one thing, it was the right to inherit the position of the next patriarch.    

    

This had become the trigger. Kong Yuan had disappeared not long after his cousin was appointed as the successor of the family.    

    

Although he didn't know the exact reason, there was a rumor that Kong Yuan had a big fight with the Kong family's master in the study before he left.    

    

Even after Kong Yuan left the Kong family Master's mansion, the Kong family Master had secretly sent someone to follow him.    

    

However, he had missed the time. Kong Yuan had already disappeared from the southwest. As for where he had gone, he hadn't been able to find out.    

    

Even so, the Kong family Master hadn't given up after so many years.    

    

Every year, he would send someone to search for Kong Yuan. He would give strict orders to bring Kong Yuan back.    

    

As for why this fellow knew so much about the inside story, it was actually the person who was sent out to hunt Kong Yuan. He was one of them. He also clearly remembered that when the patriarch secretly found them, he had once said something.    

    

That was to not care about life or death!    

    

One! A person who raised his nephew as his own son would say such vicious words?    

    

Obviously not!    

    

Therefore, although this person did not seek confirmation from the family head, he vaguely understood that there must be something fishy about this.    

    

And for the sake of his own future, this fellow had never told this matter to anyone else.    

    

After so many years, this was the first time this person spoke of this matter.    

    

The expressions of the rest of the people from the Kong family were indeterminate. Some of them were filled with resentment, while others were filled with astonishment.    

    

In total, of the four people, none of them had the same expression.    

    

"Kong Liang, shut the f * ck up! Don't forget that your surname is also Kong. You can't slander the family head."    

    

"Kong Chao, we were in the same team back then. You know what I know as well. Which one of my lies is it?"    

    

Before Xiao Chen could say anything, the two of them had already started arguing with each other.    

    

However, the more excited this Kong Chao became, the more reliable Kong Liang's words became.    

    

No one present was an innocent person. According to Kong Liang's words, he suspected that the death of Kong Yuan's parents wasn't simple.    

    

The Kong family Master didn't hesitate to order for the death of ___'s parents. It was obvious that he was feeling guilty.    

    

In other words, Kong Yuan might have mastered something that could threaten the Kong family Master.    

    

However, even Kong Liang wasn't clear about the details.    

    

Xiao Chen wasn't in the mood to interfere in the matters of Kong family.    

    

Compared to other reasons, this was the reason that made Xiao Chen feel relieved.    

    

The cold voice interrupted the argument between these two fellows, then he furrowed his brows and asked, "How many people have come from the Kong family?"    

    

"Just, just the five of us!"    

    

"In these two days, you have been searching everywhere in the city. I'm sure you know that other than you, there are also people who are looking for people in the Golden Orchid. Tell me how much you know about them, regardless of their size. "    

    

This time, even Kong Liang could only shake his head.    

    

Although they were all looking for people, they did not have any relationship with each other.    

    

Furthermore, the orders they received were not the type that could be spread around.    

    

Hence, during Jin Lan's investigation, the five fellows from the Kong family kept a low profile.    

    

They tried their best not to have any unnecessary contact with them in order to avoid exposing their identities.    

    

Xiao Chen only greeted Old Master Zhang when he saw that he could no longer ask any more questions.    

    

This was the Zhang family, so it was only natural that the people here would be handed over to the Zhang family.    

    

Old Master Zhang didn't stand on ceremony with Xiao Chen. He immediately called his men and dragged the five men away.    

    

Kong Liang had betrayed the Kong family. When he saw that he had been pulled away as well, he immediately panicked.    

    

"Master of Zhang family, I have already told you everything I know. You all can't go back on your word like this."    

    

Obviously, it wasn't just Kong Liang. The rest of the people of the Kong family also regarded Xiao Chen and the old man as a team.    

    

"I, Xiao Chen, am not that kind of person. They are going to Huang Quan. You can at least have a full meal."    

    

After saying that, Xiao Chen waved his hand and called the people from the Zhang family to take these people and leave.    

    

However, when they heard Xiao Chen's name for the first time, their facial expressions changed dramatically.    

    

"You are Xiao Chen? You are actually Xiao Chen! That and Upper Envoy, both... "    

    

"Hehe, I didn't expect my reputation to be so great that even the southwest knows about it." Xiao Chen even narcissistically said that.    

    

As he spoke, his expression immediately turned serious as he looked at those shocked fellows and grinned.    

    

"That's right! I am Xiao Chen. Now, all of you can rest in peace! "    

    

After saying those words coldly, Xiao Chen gave a look to the people from the Zhang family who were carrying five members of the Kong family.    

    

At this moment, those people from the Zhang family didn't stay any longer. They pulled the five men from the Kong family and left quickly.    

    

The previously noisy courtyard immediately became quiet after these people left.    

    

Looking at the mottled ground, the anger in Old Master Zhang's eyes had yet to dissipate.    

    

Xiao Chen, however, joked, "Isn't just the tea ceremony a little too boring? In the future, this place will be perfect for tickling green onions and all kinds of garlic. It will save you the trouble of flipping over the ground."    

    

The old man's eyelids twitched when he heard this. He glared at Xiao Chen unhappily.    

    

Of course, he could not really plant green onions and garlic in the yard, so he immediately ordered people to lay a new layer of grass.    

    

Xiao Chen didn't stay any longer and bid farewell to the old man.    

    

Staring at Xiao Chen's back as he left, the old man's eyes flashed for a while, but he still didn't say anything to persuade him to stay.    

    

After leaving the Zhang family, Xiao Chen furrowed his brows.    

    

He didn't care about a mere Kong family, but the person who sent the photos to the Kong family clearly didn't have good intentions.    

    

Obviously, that person was the one who brought Kong Yuan and the other three 'idiots' to the Golden Orchid.    

    

Even if they weren't the same person, there was definitely a connection between them.    

    

"I just don't know if the other people who came to look for them were also instigated. Looks like I have to verify it properly! "
