I am not Yuan Shu

Chapter 119 Anxious Yang Ci

After hearing this, Yuan Feng was obviously interested, so he looked at Yuan Shu expectantly.

"Shu, what do you think? If you want, your father and your third uncle can help you with this matter, and save you the trouble of running around."

Yuan Shu smiled and shook his head.

"As of now, my brother has done nothing wrong. If he is asked to give up his position as the eldest son, he will definitely feel resentful. It will also cause other family members to talk about it and have concerns. It may cause more family disputes and dethronement of the eldest son. This is not a long-term plan for the family. I hope father and third uncle will think carefully about it."

Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei looked at each other again, and they could see the deep regretful expressions on each other's faces.

The larger the family or power, the more they should follow the strict and detailed patriarchal system, because it is obviously in the interests of the ruling class. Deposing the eldest and enthroning the youngest is a practice that shakes the foundation and should not be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei could only give up this idea with great regret.

Afterwards, Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei discussed how to contact Yang Ci's people.

Xu Xu has already taken the initiative to ask for a meeting. As long as we convey to them the news that Yuan is willing to negotiate peace, things will move forward quickly.
However, Yang Ci and Zhang Ji have not yet asked for peace, and their eyes even seem a little red. Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei have not figured out how to approach them.

Yuan Shu thought about it and made a suggestion.

"Father, please let me go to meet him as the representative of the Yuan family. It is most appropriate for me to start this matter and solve it by me."

Yuan Feng frowned and thought for a while.

"But I am worried that Yang Ci, that ungrateful man, might harm you."

Yuan Shu shook his head.

"The more he shows off his power on the surface, the more fearful he is inside. As an official of the imperial court, Yang Ci will never dare to do anything out of line to me."

"even so……"

Yuan Feng thought about it again and again, and nodded: "Forget it, you can go, but take Xu Chong and your subordinates with you, and bring more people to protect your safety, otherwise your father will be worried."

Considering that Yang Ci was already a guy with negative credibility in Yuan Feng's eyes, Yuan Shu had no choice but to agree to Yuan Feng's request. The next day, he took Xu Chong and a group of high-quality men from Guanxi to visit Yang Ci at his residence.

To be honest, Yang Ci had a very hard time these days. He was in a state of extreme anxiety.

The specific condition is that I can't eat, I can't sleep, I'm like a zombie during the day, and like someone fighting zombies at night. I'm distracted at work, and I don't know the way home after get off work. My blood sugar is low, my blood pressure is high, and I have dark circles under my eyes.

In the end, he couldn't hold on any longer and had to take sick leave to recuperate at home.

There was no way out. The guys who had originally agreed to work together to ruin the reputation of the Yuan family jumped ship one after another, stabbed the other family in the back one after another, and all gathered around Xu Xu to actively seek peace with the Yuan family, putting the other guys who were too embarrassed to seek peace with the Yuan family in trouble.

So was Yang Ci and so was Zhang Ji.

It is said that Han Zong, the loser defeated by Yuan Shu, locked himself in the room and did not eat or drink for three days. His family members were so anxious that they broke into the room, carried him out, and forced him to drink rice porridge, which saved his life.

But Han Zong's heart was already dead, what good would it do if he was just a living body?
Han Zong was already like this. If the Yuan family really set their sights on Yang Ci, even though the Hongnong Yang family had three officials in two generations and was still a well-known and prestigious family, when facing the angry Yuan family, the Yang family's fate might not be much better than that of the Xun, Chen, and Zhong families.

But Yang Ci still didn’t know how to solve this problem.

He tried every possible solution, but to no avail.

He didn't dare to take the initiative to challenge Yuan Shu.

He was extremely anxious, his stomach was aching and he had headaches several times a day. If Yuan Shu came to see him a few days later, he would have to report to the ancestors of the Yang family.

Fortunately, Yuan Shu arrived in time and prevented Yang Ci from becoming a dead soul under the sword of anxiety.

Upon learning that Yuan Shu was coming to visit, Yang Ci was first overjoyed, but then he felt confused, worried, and fearful of the unknown. All these emotions intertwined together, making him feel a sharp pain in his stomach and a little unstable in his anus, as if something too overwhelming was about to burst out.

So he ordered the servants to invite Yuan Shu in, and then he quickly rushed to the toilet to solve the problem. He also asked someone to prepare scented clothes for him and change into them as soon as he came out of the toilet. He did not want Yuan Shu to smell the scent of the cycle of life and death on his body in front of him.

When Yang Ci finally solved the problem of the five grains cycle and met Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu was tasting the Yang family's special summer iced sweet drink in the living room. These days, any family with a little wealth will make some drinks for themselves in their own house besides wine.

Although wine is very attractive, it tastes a bit sour and astringent. Drinking too much will make you drunk, so not everyone likes it. However, sweet little sweet drinks are a common preference of human beings.

The Yuan family mansion has specially prepared sweet drinks, various fruit-flavored drinks, flower and fruit drinks with floral scents, drinks made with honey and goat milk, and even iced drinks in the summer. The Yuan family mansion has truly mastered the sweet drink category.

Now, this cup of iced sweet water with a cool mint flavor in the Yang family mansion is indeed delicious and very suitable for drinking in summer. Drinking a cup in the hot summer can make you feel that all your irritable and restless emotions can be dispelled.

Yuan Shu had just gulped down a cup, and now he ordered another one and savored it slowly.

It would be a waste not to take advantage of the Yang family. The more you drink, the more money you make.

When Yang Ci arrived, Yuan Shu stood up and saluted with a smile, greeted Yang Ci, and then chatted with him about family matters, talking about his conversation with Yang Biao in Maoling and his meeting with Yang Biao in Hongnong before coming to Luoyang.

After this chat, Yang Ci's tense mood was somewhat relieved.

I didn’t expect Yuan Shu to seem to have a good relationship with his son?

this means……

Is there actually room for easing this situation?
Yang Ci, who was almost collapsed by anxiety, felt like he was desperate and had to try any possible means. He even thought that he could ask Yang Biao to come forward and play the emotional card with Yuan Shu to quickly get rid of this public opinion storm. Even if it meant that Yang had to pay a price, he could still talk about it.

As long as we talk, it’s fine. I’m just afraid that you won’t talk!

However, Yuan Shu was always chatting about family matters, joking with Yang Ci about things between himself and Yang Biao, as well as some funny things that happened after arriving in Luoyang. He was reluctant to get to the point, which made Yang Ci very anxious.

If we hadn't been in a hostile relationship before, I would have really thought that you came to pay a visit to me, your elder. But now that we are in this situation, you take the initiative to come to my house but only talk about family matters. What does this mean?
Yang Ci felt panicky and his stomach was burning with discomfort. His anxiety quickly increased and he began to feel restless again.

Naturally, Yuan Shu's sharp eyes could not hide this change of his.

Although he took the initiative to visit Yang Ci, Yuan Shu had no intention of giving up the initiative. He had to let Yang Ci know that he was the active party in this relationship, and that Yang was the absolutely disadvantaged and passive party and had no right to bargain.

Yang Ci, who was in extreme anxiety, no longer had the time to figure it out. Seeing that Yuan Shu was slow to get to the point, he could no longer tolerate it, so he took the initiative to speak and broke this hazy "barrier".

"Mr. Yuan... Mr. Yuan, did you come to my house just to chat with me? Aren't you going to talk about what happened in Luoyang City recently?"

When Yuan Shu saw that Yang Ci finally lost his patience, he knew that his goal had been half achieved.

The next half will depend on his own Armstrong spinning jet super automatic mouth cannon.

"Shu is just an ordinary boy. Lord Yang is highly respected and virtuous. You can just call Shu by his real name. How can you call him a king?"

"Well... well, I'll be too arrogant."

Yang Ci took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and said, "Shu, what happened in Luoyang before, I wonder how you view it? And how does the Yuan family view it? Are you here by yourself, or are you representing the Yuan family?"

"I am here on my own behalf, and I am also here on behalf of the Yuan family."

Yuan Shu smiled and said, "On these matters, Shu and Yuan are one and the same. There is no difference. Shu's opinions are Yuan's opinions."

Yang Ci's heart trembled, and he understood the hidden meaning of Yuan Shu's words.

He knew that he could not treat Yuan Shu as an ordinary teenager. In this matter, the strength and appeal displayed by Yuan Shu were truly extraordinary. Therefore, in this matter, his opinion would inevitably influence the will of the Yuan family.

What’s more, Yuan Feng, the leader of the Yuan family, is his biological father!

So he also realized that Yuan Shu's visit should represent the overall will of the Yuan family and come to discuss some things with him.

Considering that a large number of former allies had defected and followed Situ Xuxu to seek peace with the Yuan family, leaving only himself and a few others who had not yet sought peace with the Yuan family, it was very likely that the Yuan family had already reached an agreement with those who had actively sought peace, and could now free up their hands to deal with himself and the few other families that had not actively sought peace.

Now, what should I do?
