Chapter 314: Chapter 313: Dragon and Phoenix Twins, Conflict Arises Again

Huai Min directly targeted Wu Zhen’s life, her eyes brimming with murderous intent.

"You disrespectful thing! How dare you treat your sister-in-law like this? If your elder brother knew from the grave, he would definitely settle the score with you!"

Upon hearing this, Huai Min showed no fear and even scoffed.

"If my elder brother knew from beyond the grave, the first thing he would do is drag you, this venomous woman, to hell! You have turned the entire Marquis Residence into a place of dark and noxious chaos and yet you still have the face to mention my elder brother? If it wasn’t for your insistence on covering your cursed brother’s debts, would my elder brother have ended up dying from his illness?! Wu Zhen, everyone may have the right to mention my elder brother, but you are the last one who should!"

Speaking of the past, Huai Min was full of fury.

Even the four Elders looked at Wu Zhen’s face with a hint of scrutiny.

Wu Zhen staggered back a step, clenching her hands as she tried to restrain herself: "You have the nerve to say that? Had you not created chaos outside, accruing debts, and disturbing the peace within our residence, forcing the Marquis to exhaust his mind and body, he never would have suffered that way!"

These were also facts.

"I was trying to open up new industries for the Marquis Residence. And you? Your Wu Family is just a bottomless pit. When my elder brother was alive, you repeatedly took money from the residence to subsidize your family, eventually draining our resources when we truly needed money! If not for you, that business deal would not have broken down due to the lack of funds, and my elder brother would not have taken the risk. Ultimately, Wu Zhen, you are the main culprit who caused my elder brother’s death!" Huai Min’s eyes were bloodshot.

Back then, he had barely managed to secure a deal for some minerals.

Thinking it would elevate the Huai Family to great heights, who would have thought that when he went to retrieve the silver taels, he would find an empty treasury. Upon investigation, it turned out that Wu Zhen had taken the money to subsidize her frivolous brother, Wu Qiong.

This was what led his elder brother to entertain crooked thoughts of using Poisonous Insect Poison to control the mine’s boss.

But unbeknownst to him, that boss had a more terrifying ally, resulting in the boomerang effect of the poison, leading to the death of the Marquis of the Northern Border.

If it weren’t for his elder brother pressing his head on his deathbed swearing not to harm Wu Zhen and the Wu Family, he would have sent them all to accompany his brother long ago.

Wu Zhen turned pale, biting her lip: "How can you say such things? All these years, I’ve been painstakingly managing the Marquis Residence. You all live so extravagantly, have you ever thought about where that money comes from? I did subsidize my family, but my brother also helped his sister! As for you from the second household, only taking and never giving, even setting up Huai Yu to almost ruin her jade business, all of these, Heaven is watching!"

"Now that everything is out in the open, I have nothing to fear, Wu Zhen, you were unclean when you married my elder brother, giving birth to twins but ruining them on a trip home, and then claiming one was lost, who knows if you didn’t raise the other with your old lover!" Huai Min’s expression was cold: "Four Elders, you all know about these matters. Currently, it’s uncertain if Huai Yu is indeed my elder brother’s child, but Huai Xin, whom you watched grow, certainly is a true descendant of our Huai Family!"

"To usurp this marriage affair, you actually openly slander your own elder brother, showing your true ruthless nature! Elders, such a person must not remain in our Marquis Residence!" Wu Zhen retorted with equal determination.

As the saying goes, ’Everyone thinks they are in the right.’

The four Elders glanced at each other, but ultimately, an old man with a long beard sighed and stepped forward.

"The things you both mentioned are old stories; both children are quite fine. Instead, it’s the two of you adults who are increasingly disgraceful, creating endless strife every day, causing uproar in the residence," he said to Wu Zhen. "These years you indeed have had a tough time managing the Marquis Residence, but the second household makes a valid point – you truly lack a knack for management."

"Exactly!" Huai Min chimed in eagerly.

The Elder then turned to Huai Min: "You too should not create problems out of nothing. Huai Yu and your elder brother are almost cut from the same cloth, yet you insist on slandering him as not your own elder brother’s child, which is outrageous. As for the lost child... we’ve been searching all these years, and we may now have some leads."

Wu Zhen was stunned.

"What did you say?"

She had once returned to her family home, where on the way she was robbed by bandits, leaving only Huai Yu from the newborn twins.

Left with no choice, she claimed the sister was lost.

And then had Huai Yu impersonate the elder brother for all these years.

But now the Elder was claiming to have news of the lost child.

"...Are you serious? Has there truly been news about that child?" Wu Zhen’s hands and feet were ice cold, her first reaction was not happiness, but fear.

She feared that after finding the child, It would be discovered that Huai Yu was actually a woman.

The Elder nodded, "Our people have traced him to the Northern Border recently, so we’ve already dispatched more men to closely watch for women resembling Huai Yu."

"This is good news, madam", Cui Zhi reminded Wu Zhen at her side.

Wu Zhen immediately covered her face and wept, "My poor child, I am finally going to see him, I am truly overjoyed as a mother."

Huai Min stood aside, watching her pretentious performance with cold eyes.

The events of that year were shady in themselves.

Having just observed Wu Zhen’s reaction, she clearly wasn’t happy!

This might be his chance to seize a significant leverage.

Huai Min made a mental note and decided to send more men to seize control of that child before returning.

Then, he would negotiate terms with the malicious woman, Wu Zhen.

As long as he controlled Wu Zhen, he didn’t believe that the little bastard Huai Yu would disobey.

Then, the entirety of the Marquis Residence would be dictated by their branch.

Huai Min hid the gleam in his eyes, the people who were normally at each other’s throats, wishing death upon one another, were silenced by this sudden news.

Wu Zhen completely lost her spirit, she only wanted to return as soon as possible to think of a good strategy.

Seeing that they were no longer arguing, the bearded Elder spoke up, "This is how it should be, ’Harmony in the family brings prosperity in all endeavors’. If the old Marquis were alive, he wouldn’t want to see you argue like this."

"The Elder speaks rightly," Huai Min was the first to speak, "I was a bit hasty just now, I apologize to my sister-in-law, and hope she can overlook my past mistakes."

Wu Zhen saw the cunning in his eyes and almost ground her teeth in anger.

But at this moment, with the Elder playing peacemaker, she couldn’t dismiss his authority and could only say, "Little brother-in-law, what are you talking about? It’s common for family to quarrel, just take care of yourself in the future."

"Sister-in-law’s teaching is correct," Huai Min bowed and agreed.

Damn harlot, you will suffer eventually.

Wu Zhen looked at him, her face smiling, but disdain still evident in her eyes.

She had been lenient before, but after the matter with the Commandery Princess, she wouldn’t be merciful or soft-hearted again.

Didn’t Huai Min want his son to marry Yan Wanqing? She’d like to see if Yan Wanqing would still fancy him once she knew what kind of character Huai Xin was!

The two branches left dissatisfied with each other and went their separate ways.

Four Elders stood in the ancestral hall.

The bearded Elder stood with his hands behind his back, "We need to find that child before they do, otherwise the Marquis Residence might not survive this."
