All Hail Cousin Brother

Chapter 419: Fight to the Death

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As long as the Mu Residence gave the Leng Residence enough face, showed enough sincerity, and gave them enough benefits, no one would be willing to complicate matters for the sake of “benefits”. It was not impossible for both sides to stop fighting.

With enough face, sincerity and benefits, was there a need for the two sides to become enemies?

Not at all!

Fourth Young Master Leng had fallen from a height. It was not enough to kill him, and he even had a chance to live. However, as the Mu Residence had delayed treatment, he had lost the chance to be treated and died of pain.

A life fell from a height.

After having treatment delayed by the Mu Residence, a life was lost.

Yin Huaixi said calmly, “One life and two deaths. This isn’t something that can be brushed off with a single mistake. By delaying Fourth Young Master Leng’s treatment and causing his death, it’s not an exaggeration to say that he deliberately killed someone There were all kinds of people in the Flower Pavilion. At that time, there were many people present, and those who could visit the Flower Pavilion were basically all descendants of wealthy families. This matter will damage the reputation and dignity of the Leng Residence.”

If the Leng Residence let the Mu Residence off so easily, others would think that the Leng Residence was afraid of the Mu Residence. Then, where would the reputation and dignity of the Leng Residence as a clan go?

From now on, could anyone step on the head of the Leng Residence?

Even if the Leng Residence did it for the sake of the familys reputation a_nd dignity, they would not stop.

Furthermore, Eldest Young Master Leng had personally seen his younger brother bleed out and die in pain. This strong visual impact was not something that just a corpse could compare to. Reputation often overrode interests.

Benefits could be plotted.

On the other hand, reputation was built on the most fundamental foundation of benefits. It had been accumulated by the clan for generations.

Benefits were easy to obtain, but reputation was difficult to build. Everyone understood what was more important.

Yin Huaixi paused for a moment. “On the basis of the family’s reputation, once personal relationships are involved, it’s often easy to lose your mind and escalate the matter, making it easier to achieve the outcome.”

The secret guard thought of Eldest Young Master Leng hugging Fourth Young Master Leng’s corpse and shouting that he wanted to avenge his brother. He understood that Young Master had seen through him.

One life and two deaths. The first thing he had planned was the reputation of the Leng Residence.

Secondly, he was scheming against Eldest Young Master Leng’s personal feelings for his younger brother.

The combination of the two was definitely not as simple as one plus one.

Yin Huaixi chuckled. “It’s often not enough to scheme against the human heart and human nature if you want to scheme accurately. The human heart changes easily, and human nature is complicated. No one can boast that they can control the human heart and human nature. Therefore, the most brilliant scheme is often not targeting the human heart and human nature, using the human heart and human nature, to scheme against the fame and fortune that it represents.”

The secret guard was enlightened.

Yin Huaixi ordered, “Inform the magistrate of the Ji Residence so he knows what to do to provoke a feud between the Mu Residence and the Leng Residence.”

The Mu Residence and the Leng Residence were both entrenched in the big clans in Shandong. Their momentum was even greater than the government office. As long as the two families completely became enemies, the other clans would not be spared.

When the clans joined forces, the Mu Residence and the Leng Residence would not make a big deal out of the overall situation. They would definitely look for Li Qiguang to uphold justice.

A person’s life was at stake. It wasn’t something that could be resolved with perfunctory words. Li Qiguang couldn’t think of ways to smooth things over.

If Li Qiguang sided with the Mu Residence, the Leng Residence would resent him.

If Li Qiguang sided with the Leng Residence, the Leng Residence and the Mu Residence would definitely take this opportunity to demand an exorbitant price and make the Mu Residence bleed. The Mu Residence would not be willing to be cheated.

With the help of the court officials, the conflict between the two sides would definitely increase, and Li Qiguang would lose control of the clan.

So what if Li Qiguang guessed that all of this was a scheme of the Imperial Court?

If he couldn’t control the clan or the hearts of the people, he couldn’t control the situation in Shandong.

So what if the clan knew that all of this was a scheme of the Imperial Court?

The clans valued profits and each had their own plans. If they could not be of the same mind, how could they become powerful? If they could not become powerful, they would be like a plate of loose sand. How could they resist the Imperial Court?

In this round, he calculated the human heart and human nature.

It was human nature to be selfish.

People’s hearts were easily changed. contemporary romance

One life, two deaths. One plan, three uses.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of July. The army did not move, and there was no other news.

Yu Youyao thought that her cousin’s second letter would arrive in a few days. She was looking forward to the day, so she couldn’t help but feel bored. She went to her grandmother’s house to get a copy of the Buddhist Scripture and calmed down as she copied the scriptures. She hoped that her cousin would have merit and everything would go smoothly, and he would be at peace.

“Big Sister, Big Sister… A chattering sound came from outside the house.

Yu Youyao’s hand, which was holding the brush, couldn’t help but tremble. A drop of ink landed on the snow-white paper, and the scripture that had occupied most of the paper was ruined.

Yu Youyao put down her brush helplessly and looked at the door.

Indeed!

With a bang, the study door was pushed open forcefully, and Yu Shuangbai rushed into the study.

Yu Youyao gathered the few pages of the Sutra of the Buddha that she had copied just now.

Yu Shuangbai quickly snatched it from her hand and took a look. Immediately, she felt dizzy. “Big Sister, what are you copying? The words are separated. I recognize them, but when they’re combined, why can’t I read them?”

Yu Youyao took back the Buddhist scripture in her hand angrily. “This is the

Buddhist Scripture I copied for Cousin. Don’t touch it.”

She checked it carefully and realized that Yu Shuangbai knew her limits. The Buddhist scriptures were not damaged, so she couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. She rolled her eyes at Yu Shuangbai and took the camphor wooden box from the desk to open it.

Yu Shuangbai was curious for a moment. She leaned over to take a look There was already a thick stack of Buddhist scriptures in the wooden box. Her eyes widened. “These can’t be the Buddhist scriptures you’ve copied for Cousin Zhou recently, right?”

Yu Youyao lowered her head and sorted out the Buddhist scriptures.

Yu Shuangbai endured it again and again, but she still couldn’t help but say, “Big Sister, Cousin Zhou is only returning to Youzhou. Why do you make it seem like he’s going to the battlefield? You’re staying in the house all day copying Buddhist scriptures. Why are you acting like a little old woman at such a young age? Do you really have to pay your respects to Buddha like this!” Only an old woman like Grandmother liked to copy Buddhist scriptures!

The words “little old woman” made Yu Youyao choke. She held her breath and glared at her. “You’re already so old, but you’re still chattering all day. I should suggest to Second Aunt to make you copy more Buddhist scriptures. On the one hand, you can pray for Grandmother, and on the other hand, you can be trained.

“No, no, no…” Yu Shuangbai looked horrified. As she waved her hand, she retreated, wishing she hadn’t entered this door just now. “Big Sister, I’m sorry. I was wrong. I won’t say that you’re copying Buddhist scriptures anymore. You can copy if you want. You’re a magnanimous person. Don’t hold it against me…

Her mother had long despised her for playing all day and being unruly.

She was always looking for a way to treat her hyperactive illness.. If Big Sister really suggested that to her mother that she should copy Buddhist scriptures and pray for her grandmother, as a junior, how could she refuse?
