Chapter 180: Dragon Bed (Requesting Monthly Tickets) _4
This is a conclusion that Yuchi came to after silently studying the situation for a long time.
This conclusion applied to everything before, so there's no reason it would suddenly not work now, right?
It's like adding two values, everyone knows one plus one equals two, it's a sure thing.
But if it's two larger numbers being added, would the rules of addition suddenly have a problem?
That's definitely not possible!
If that's the case, then why just because the difficulty of the situation is different, does the attitude change?
Are we just going to dismiss all the trust in Yuchi, and instead show signs of starting over?
Isn't that absurd?
The more I think, the angrier I get.
Full of resentment.
"Is this still our Zhangsun family?"
"Where has our previous calm gone?"
"Why does our Zhangsun family exude a sense of impending doom everywhere?"
With a grip of her jade-like hand, Changsun Mei straightforwardly expressed her confusion.
Wow, has it really come to this all of a sudden?
Everyone, come look, our lady is anxious.
She's anxious.
Anxious indeed.
The maid was trembling with fear, and only when she was sure no one was outside the window did she anxiously say:
"Miss."
"You mustn't speak like that."
"If the master hears you say that, he will surely ground you."
Changsun Mei snorted coldly, folded her arms, and in her heart thought: Grounded? How is that any different from being under house arrest right now?
The maid bent down slightly.
Anyway, Changsun Mei says what she says, I won't listen; I have my own thoughts too.
She continued:
"So, I'll go on with my speculations, okay?" The maid tried.
"Go ahead, I certainly can't convince you. Your thoughts are just like my grandfather's." Changsun Mei rolled her eyes.
The maid was embarrassed.
After a brief pause, she continued:
"We just said that the matter is very serious, so Yuchi couldn't resolve it, and that's an external factor."
"Actually, there's also another internal factor at play here."
"I wonder if you've noticed this internal factor, Miss?"
The maid, having followed Changsun Mei for some time, was like a mouse by the cultivator's side, always stealing the oil.
She's gotten wise.
"What factor?" Changsun Mei mumbled, chewing on a piece of candied fruit, saying she was hungry.
"It's the master." The maid whispered.
"Grandfather?" Changsun Mei questioned.
"Yes."
"In the early days of the guild's formation, he hadn't realized he might not like the feeling of being ruled or controlled."
"But after the guild has been established for so long."
"He saw Yuchi being welcomed everywhere in the yamen, while he himself could not enter the yamen..."
"This causes a big psychological contrast."
Her voice grew smaller as she spoke.
A servant is not supposed to speak about the master's private matters in any setting, but this was because of her good relationship with Changsun Mei.
As she spoke, she also observed Changsun Mei's expression.
Only when there was no sign of anger from her did she continue:
"In Xufu Town, our Zhangsun family's seniority, nobody knows how many times higher it is than that of the Wei family."
"In the master's eyes, the Wei family emerged suddenly and is simply a nouveau riche."
"There is no reason Yuchi can accomplish this, while as the patriarch of our Zhangsun family, he cannot."
She glanced at Changsun Mei's little hand holding the candied fruit, ensuring it hadn't stopped.
Only then did she continue:
"So taking advantage of this opportunity, the master certainly wishes for Yuchi to fail."
"Then he can unite with other families to directly withdraw from the guild, and by then it wouldn't be said that the guild doesn't exist."
"But rather that the guild successfully excludes the Wei family!"
At this point, Changsun Mei's little hand stopped eating the candied fruit, while the maid was speaking with shining eyes.
She momentarily forgot her lady had a crush on Yuchi Honest next door.
Almost as if she were speaking without a filter.
"In that situation, the entire Xufu Town would be the domain of our Zhangsun family!"
"The master would gain a lot of prestige, including both what he wants and what he doesn't want."
"All of this would be attributed to him, and he would gain power and fame."
After the maid finished this long and exciting speech, Changsun Mei was so angry she rolled her eyes.
Candied fruit, tossed!
"Miss, if you're not eating it, I could have it. Don't waste food; if you're caught once, your image could collapse."
Gosh.
Did she really understand?
The maid didn't realize anything wrong with what she said, curiously watching her mistress.
No problem with what she said.
The master clearly has this kind of psychological factor, doesn't he?
"Thinking like this? That's absurd, I don't know what's going through your little head." Changsun Mei criticized.
"Miss, what do you mean? I don't understand; I don't think there's anything wrong with what I said." The maid was very curious.
Sorting through the logic in her mind.
If Yuchi falls, the guild belongs to the Zhangsun family, making Changsun Hao, as the patriarch, the leader.
Then Xufu Town belongs to Changsun Hao, and he could ascend to thrive, there's no problem with that.
