s no movement, opened the door and glanced at Lin Meiyu's room. The door was tightly closed, with a faint light coming out from under the crack. However, he didn't think much about it, quietly slipped...Li Nanfang is now very popular, many people are vying for him.

Yue Zitong, Huaye Shen, even He Lan Xiaoxin, are all mainstays of "Chasing the Deer in Central Plains". Now, Duan Xiangning has been added to the mix.

Although Duan Xiangning came from a noble family and was undoubtedly a gifted woman, the influence of the Dali Duan clan in the north was not very significant compared to the other women mentioned. As a result, her presence was almost non-existent.

This way, Yue Zizhong and the others would have the illusion that killing her wouldn't be much different from killing an ant, of course, they wouldn't take her seriously.

It was precisely because of this reason that when Yue Zitong and the others learned that she actually intended to abduct Li Nanfang during his amnesia, they burst into laughter in anger: "Is this woman's brain filled with water Otherwise, how could she come up with such a thing"

Only after Su Xiaoda called the representative of Duan, explaining everything in detail, did Yue Zitong and the others realize they had underestimated Duan Xiangning.

Or, it's underestimating the Duan family.

It wasn't Duan Xiangning herself who came to vie for Li Nanfang's affections.

Instead, Dali's Duan family!

Yue Zichong and others competed for Li Nanfang, vying for his person, his feelings, and his entire life.

What Dali Duan was vying for was the power behind Li Nanfang's scenes.

As long as Li Nanfang can be recruited as Duan's son-in-law, the gray forces behind him are very likely to cooperate with the Duan family at a deeper level.

In both business and politics, there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests.

The Duan clan of Dali had long remained in the remote southeast, keeping a low profile. Their presence was almost negligible among the powerful factions in the north.

But no one can deny that the Dali Duan clan truly belonged to the top tier, alongside prominent families like the Jinghua Yue family, He Lan family, Mingzhu Long family, and Lingnan Chen family.

Just as other powerful families could provide the gray influence backing Li Nanfang, they could do the same for him.

And more importantly, the Duan family, which has almost no presence, how much power they have accumulated in these years - people are precisely because they don't understand, but clearly know how huge the Duan family is, that they feel apprehensive and dare not offend it easily, only by constantly correcting their attitude.

To secure Li Nanfang as the son-in-law of the Dali Duan clan, and then cooperate with the gray power figures backing him, this is the primary reason why Emperor Duan Shuzhi personally traveled north.

Only then did Yue Zitong and the other understand that when the Duan family made this decision, they had already planned to use "giving advice" to try and win over Li Nanfang's plan.

Now, with Xiao Su's phone call saying that Li Nanfang has boarded the direct flight to Dali, Duan Shuchang's cunning plan has been perfectly realized.

As for the truthfulness of what Xiaosu just said, that's no longer important.

What's important is that this time, the Duan family took not Li Nanfang, but Ye Shen, who has nothing to do with Yue Zichong, Huaye Shen and others.

How could Li Nánfāng become Yè Shěn

Hmph.

This would have to be asked of Yue Zitong, Huanye Shen, and the others. The Dali Duan clan wouldn't care about these things.

They only cared that Ye Shen was the betrothed of Duan Xiangning, the eldest daughter of the Duan family. He looked forward to this trip to Dali to pay respects to Taishan Laojun.

No one forced Ye Shen to go to Dali, he chose to go there himself.

After Ye Shen went to Dali, the Duan family would give him the same treatment as other Duan family sons-in-law, allowing him to develop there with peace of mind.

Whoever decides that the Duan family's son-in-law is a talented individual and tries to win him over with schemes involving beauty, —ha ha, I'm sorry, do you really think the great and righteous Duan clan is so easy to deceive

Let every industry, on every battlefield, see who prevails!

It's clear that if Yue Zitong and the others truly started a conflict with the Duan family across various fields because of Li Nanfang, the Duan family would definitely leverage their history as warriors who fought for the country during a decade-long war that left only one surviving male, Duan Lao, to stand on a moral high ground and launch a powerful counterattack against them.

and be able to achieve the final victory.

This is not what Yue Zitong hoped to see.

Even if she was unwilling deep down, she didn't dare to start a conflict on her own.

So, just watch helplessly as her dear nephew was lured away by that cunning fox spirit from the Duan family, to reside in Dali forever

Impossible!

It's impossible, it's impossible——What can we do

Yue Zitong suddenly felt immense regret and dejection.

At first, if she hadn't forced Huaye Shenzhu to leave Li Nanfang, how could things have gotten this bad

It's not like that. Even if you gave the Duan family eighty more guts, they wouldn't dare to snatch away Ye Shen's man.

In that case, Li Nanshan would be under Yue Zitong's control no matter if he was in Jinghua or Qingshan.

She just needs to focus all her energy on dealing with Hanyue Shen.

With her extraordinary intelligence, it was only a matter of time before she outsmarted the Flower Night God, wasn't it

Okay, that's difficult.

And adding Helan Xiaoxin, adding Bai Ling'er, adding Jiang Mo'ran, plus Min Rou, and even being able to add Sui Yuanyue, adding Shangdao Sakura and the others

Yue Zisheng was absolutely sure he could control these six women.

If even with the help of these six women, Yue Zidong was still unable to defeat Huaye Shen, then she might as well just die.

It was precisely because she wanted to achieve a permanent solution. Seizing the opportunity presented by the country's need for her cooperation, she forced Huayè Shénzhǔ Qínzìwū to leave Huayè Shén. This gave Duan Xiāngníng the chance she needed. Duan Chǔhuáng then acted, using the guise of giving a wise suggestion, forcing her to watch helplessly as her beloved became someone else's husband.

With this belly full of blood, tears, pain, and regret, who to tell it to

"Sigh, have some water."

Helan Xiaoxin sighed softly and passed over the teacup.

Yue Zidong lowered his head, staring at the tip of his shoes. He moved with a diligence that was neither diligent nor lazy.

Faint, can't even die.

No matter how he tried, he couldn't escape the sorghum fields.

Suddenly, He Lan Xiao Xin thought of these two lines of folk sayings about Qingshan.

She didn't gloat about it, though she did secretly enjoy Yue Zitong getting hit, best if she got struck by lightning and turned into ash—but that was in the past.

Now, He Lan Xiaoxian must closely unite around Yue Zidong and help her strategize with all her might to get Li Ren渣 back. After that, the two sisters can finally have a "sibling rivalry" without any gunpowder.

Yue Zisheng didn't take the water cup. He Lan Xiaoxin had just placed it on the table when she suddenly grabbed it, just like Wu Erge, a fierce and taciturn man who drank his alcohol fiercely. She guzzled down several mouthfuls in quick succession.

He didn't even give her the chance to remind his sister that the water was too hot, he just went full steam ahead, recklessly.

With a bang.

After placing the teacup heavily on the table, Yue Zitong raised her hand to slowly wipe her mouth. She stared intently at He Lan Xiaoxin, saying nothing.

Xin Jie was a little scared by her gaze, and forced a smile: "Tong Tong, if you want to say something, just say it. Want to cry That's okay too. If you think crying will be embarrassing, I'll cry with you. I promise, my voice is louder and more melodious than yours. No matter what happens, don't scare me like this, and don't behave like Li Ren Zhe, losing your memory after being severely stimulated. That way, our lives would be impossible.

"Ha, haha."

Before Helan Xiaoxin's words could even finish, Yue Zitong burst into laughter: “Will I cry Do you think I will cry”

The last three words, her tone was very stern.

He Lan Xiaoxin waved her hand dismissively, arguing, "Of course you wouldn't cry! I was just casually saying that. You, the head of the Di family, have weathered countless storms and tribulations! How could a little setback like this bring you down"

"But—I just want to cry."

Yue Zitong suddenly threw himself onto his older sister's full and soft chest, bursting into tears.

Xin Jie was completely dumbfounded by her. She blinked hard, then slowly raised her head to look at the ceiling.

A moment later, a glimmer flashed in her eyes. She spoke in a low voice, "This is you pushing us to the brink of death. Don't blame me for being ruthless."

"You, you... what are you saying"

Yè Zǐ Tóng raised her head from his arms, her beautiful eyes red and swollen.

A look of utter bewilderment.

Even in extreme remorse and sadness, he could still maintain a good listening ability. The master of Yue's family is indeed not someone ordinary can compare to.

"I said, 'This is Duan Jia's countermeasure to my move.'"

He Lan Xiaoxin raised her hand, bending her spring onion-like right index finger and gently wiping away the tears from Yue Zisheng's smooth cheek. Then, she chuckled softly: "Since the National War, the Dali Duan clan has always been low-key, hiding their talents and keeping a low profile. But they have been desperately searching for an opportunity to rise again. Just like this time, they seized the best opportunity. Hehe. But they overlooked a fundamental reality."

Yue Zitong was amused by Xin Jie's soft, giggling laughter, which made her feel uneasy.

After hearing her scream of pain, the uncomfortable feeling in his heart disappeared. He immediately asked, "Spit it out, whatever it is, just get to the point. What reality has the Duan family ignored"

Their family is not large.

He Lan Xiaoxin raised her hand to rub her full chest, and said with a grin: "Don't look at the Dali Duan family who have been keeping a low profile for decades, their influence is growing significantly. Moreover, besides Duan Lao, there are three sons, Duan Erdai and so on, and Duan Chuo Huang, a grandson. But in reality, only Duan Chuo Huang is capable of making the Duan family thrive. Originally, Duan Erdai should also have great potential, but because the Duan family suffered heavy losses in the national war, Duan Lao has been spoiling his second son, who was supposed to be very capable, since he was a child."

There is a common saying that "a loving mother spoils her child."

A father who is kind and loving is like this too.

After the national war, the Dali Duan clan suffered heavy losses. Only one person, Old Duan, remained.

Mr. Duan had five more sons.

The eldest and the third son of the Can Duan family both died when they were just a few years old.

After two of his sons died in infancy, Lao Duan, who had previously believed that with five sons his family line would thrive, was dealt a heavy blow.

Instinctively, he was negligent in disciplining Duan Erdai's three sons. He only wished for them to grow up safely and bear children to extend the Duan family line. After that, he would cultivate true core members of the Duan family from the third generation.

In this way, under Lao Duan's intentional relaxation, the capable Duan Erdai became just an ordinary person.

Even so, Duan Erdai was much stronger than his two brothers.

Old Four was a simple man, a little foolish.

Segment Lao Wu was a man of little compassion and loyalty, quick to retaliate against any fault, making it difficult for him to achieve greatness.

By the time Lao Duan realized his initial plan was completely wrong, it was already too late to correct anything. The three springs had passed.

At the same time, it also became clear that I could no longer be so relaxed with my grandchildren.

Even if only one grandson, Duan Shouchang, was among the descendants of the Duan family, Old Duan would not dare to slack off. He could only discipline him strictly from a young age while doubling his protection and care for his growth.

Duàn Shǔhuáng did not disappoint Duàn Lǎo.

Otherwise, he would not have earned the reputation of Emperor Nanchu and been compared to Beifusu as the two outstanding young men of China.

"Old Master Duan spared no effort in cultivating the so-called "Four Phoenixes of the Duan Family" for this grandson, having them serve as sparring partners for Duan Shouchang. Hehe, so Duan Shouchang is truly the apple of everyone's eye."

After saying this, Helan Xiaoxin smiled again.

That smile still made Yue Zitou's heart uneasy, but Xin Jie was oblivious, only saying in a hoarse voice, "But what if Duan Chu Huang has problems"
