Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 505 - 504: The Faction Splits in Two

"It’s such great news that the manor owner’s injuries can be healed!" Old Tang felt genuinely happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Indeed!" Duan Yunfei was also very pleased, "There’s finally hope."

He recalled the time when Duan Nian was ambushed and severely injured by the Thirteen Shadow Guards, covered in blood as he was carried back. Even now, the memory still made Duan Yunfei shudder.

"So... how do you plan to play this out?" Shen Qinglan asked in a low voice.

Duan Yunfei replied, "Chen Qi and my brother-in-law planned that when we return to the manor, my brother-in-law would secretly poison my father. At that time, my brother-in-law would deal with me, while he leads people to exterminate the rest of the manor’s people, and then annex Yongning Manor."

Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow, "So, what do you plan to do?"

Duan Yunfei said, "We plan to wait until my father’s old wounds are healed before heading back to the manor. Then, we’ll put on a show for Chen Qi."

"Then... how long will it take for uncle’s old injuries to heal?"

Duan Yunfei answered, "Back in the Capital, Elder Mu said that as long as he rests peacefully, he should fully recover within six months at most."

No wonder Luo Jing and the others weren’t in a hurry to return to Yongning Manor. So, this is the reason?

Old Tang pondered, "Two days ago, I heard two Jianghu figures chatting in a tavern about Haoyue Manor, saying that although Haoyue Manor appears peaceful on the surface, it’s actually divided in two, with one half controlled by Huang Shu and the other by Chen Qi."

Duan Yunfei sneered, "How could it not be divided?"

Old Tang was surprised, "Does the Young Master know the reason?"

Le Zhao took a sip of wine and smiled, "Huang Shu wants his own son to inherit the position of future manor owner, while Chen Qi wants Feng Wuya, this ’illegitimate child,’ to inherit it. Do you think the power wouldn’t split?"

Haoyue Manor is originally the Huang Family’s. How could Huang Shu just watch Chen Qi hand over their family’s things to the child of his rival?

Xuan Ying said, "Didn’t Qian San say that Chen Qi has already given up on that idea?"

"Giving up is one thing, wanting to give is another." Le Zhao snorted lightly, "Moreover, do you think someone like Chen Qi would make Huang Shu relax his guard just because he changed his mind?"

Definitely not; on the contrary, he would only strengthen his defenses.

Once a person harbors suspicion toward others, more doubt naturally follows. At that time, conflicts between the two will increase. The more conflicts there are, the more irreconcilable the situation becomes.

Chen Qi wanted Feng Wuya to take the position for two reasons: firstly, he’s the disciple of the top swordsman, Chu Wuqu, and secondly, because Feng Wuya is indeed far superior to Chen Feng.

If he could win over Chu Wuqu to join Haoyue Manor, it would be ideal. Even if they couldn’t win him over, people in Jianghu know Feng Wuya is Chu Wuqu’s disciple. Hence, they would naturally regard Haoyue Manor with more caution.

As long as he can control Feng Wuya, he can consolidate and elevate his status within Haoyue Manor and the Jianghu.

Most importantly, he can also use Feng Wuya to suppress Yongning Manor.

As for Chen Feng, he’s just a worthless fool who can’t be molded into anything useful; in Chen Qi’s eyes, he’s simply an expendable nobody.

Of course, for Huang Shu, it’s different. No matter how poor Chen Feng is, he is still her flesh and blood. Furthermore, Haoyue Manor has been the Huang Family’s legacy for generations. Would she just hand it over?

The answer is simply impossible!

Duan Yunfei sneered, "If Master Huang found out that the son-in-law he’s so proud of wants to give his life’s work to someone else, he’d probably turn over in his grave."
