Alluring His Wife: The Evil King's Fifth Consort Chapter 636

Chapter 636 - What's so good about a woman becoming the family head?

He had always been frantically trying to find Wei Yuanwei, even if it was just a corpse. He only wanted to sink into it, and wasn't willing to walk out.

Wei Yuanwei was already dead, so she couldn't possibly still be alive.

However, he had always been avoiding this question, as he was not willing to marry anyone in the face of Wei Yuanwei's death.

"I just want to find Wei Yuanwei's corpse. I don't want her to be alone in the ice-cold lake water. She's very afraid of the cold!" Mu Jin said with a hoa.r.s.e voice, his voice was filled with deep sorrow and pain.

Hearing Mu Jin's words, Shang Li heaved a sigh of relief.

At least Mu Jin now dared to face the truth of Wei Yuanwei's death head on.

He knew that Mu Jin would be able to walk out of there quickly.

"I'll definitely help you find it!" Shang Li turned and said as he looked at Mu Jin's abnormally sorrowful profile, outlined by the moonlight.

The morning sunlight penetrated through the dense gaps between the trees, casting mottled shadows on the ground.

The figure of Wei Yuanwei, who was sitting upright on a stone bench, was reflected long and clearly by the sunlight that shone onto the limestone ground.

Wei Yuanwei looked at the tree in the corner of her eyes. There was no wind, but the tree leaves were shaking non-stop.

Wei Yuanwei smirked: "Come out!"

Just as Yu Zheng and Yu Xiao were discussing how to obtain Wei Yuanwei's trust, Wei Yuanwei's clear voice that was like a jade bead dropping on the ground rang beside their ears.

The two of them froze for a moment, then walked out from behind the trees.

Yu Zheng fixed his sleeves with his hands, let out a few light coughs, raised the corner of his mouth, and revealed a warm smile: "I heard from my mother that father's daughter returned to the Jade Clan, so I came over with my brother to take a look!"

"Hiding behind a tree and peeping?" Wei Yuanwei looked at the two people in front of him with a smile that was not a smile.

"That's not it, it's just that when I arrived, I saw Yu Ming talking to you right now, so I didn't disturb him!" Yu Zheng affectionately called Wei Yuanwei his little sister.

This was undoubtedly a show of goodwill on Wei Yuanwei's part.

Yu Xiao reacted quickly as well. Seeing her brother like this, she said, "That's right, we are all very curious, so we came here together to see. I'm seventeen this year, should I call you sister?"

Such a friendly tone.

If it had been anyone else, they would have believed these two.

But from the moment these two people appeared, Wei Yuanwei had basically seen through their intentions.

Just by looking at their clothes and auras, one could tell that they were the main wife of the family.

So it was obvious that these two were inexplicably close and friendly, and naturally came for the Dragon Tiger Spirit Pearl.

There is no such thing as good in this world for no reason at all!

Wei Yuanwei sat quietly on the stone chair, looking at the two in front of him coldly. She did not say a word.

Yu Zheng and Yu Xiao looked at each other, and then walked over to Wei Yuanwei.

One was deep while the other was bright.

My name is Yu Zheng and he is the eldest son. This is my brother, Yu Xiao is also the eldest son, my father only married my mother, so he does not have a concubine! Yu Zheng said in a deep voice, and then said: "Of course, we do not have any intentions of targeting little sister when we say it like that, since you are father's daughter, mother will definitely treat you the same!"

"If the patriarch had been able to bring my mother back to the underworld clan, then with her ident.i.ty as the prime minister's direct daughter, she would have been the main wife, no?" Wei Yuanwei's tone was light.

Although she said that there was no difference in status, it was still to tell her that she was born in the outer chamber. In front of their son, she was simply inferior.

Yu Zheng and Yu Xiao were startled.

Wei Yuanwei's mother was the direct daughter of the Prime Minister, but their mother's status was not low either. She was the first daughter of the Jade City Lord.

Yu Xiao was about to say something, but was stopped by Yu Zheng.

They were here to obtain Wei Yuanwei's trust, not to fight over the t.i.tle of direct descendant.

"Little sister is right, and father seems to like little sister's mother more. After all, mother and father are the decisions of the elders, so it must be against father's will!" Now, no matter what Wei Yuanwei said, Yu Zheng had to let him go.

Wei Yuanwei laughed indifferently, and her gaze landed on Yu Zheng and Yu Xiao.

Yu Zheng was a bit older and he was also the eldest son. He was able to keep his cool, whereas Yu Xiao was obviously young and had a bit of experience, but he knew how to restrain herself.

"My mother and the Patriarch were in love with each other, and their relations.h.i.+p was even better than Jin Jian's, of course it couldn't be compared to other people's, even if they lived together for twenty odd years. It's a pity that the Patriarch left in a hurry, and my mother didn't notice the Dragon Tiger Spirit Pearl hiding in her earrings, or else she wouldn't have waited so many years!" Wei Yuanwei just wanted to see how long these two can endure.

Sure enough, the two of them were still young. Upon hearing how arrogant she was and how she had deprecated their mother to be worthless, both of them simultaneously revealed an angry look.

However, he still forcefully suppressed his anger.

The faces of the two people were extremely unsightly, and their eyes that looked at Wei Yuanwei faintly contained a hint of chilliness, yet they could not reveal it straightforwardly.

"When I heard my sister talking to Yu Ming earlier, it seemed like she didn't want to stay in the underworld clan. Why was that so?" Yu Zheng pursed his lips, then changed the topic.

The Dragon Tiger Spirit Pearl was the topic that they were most interested in, "Maybe little sister isn't a member of the underworld clan and doesn't know how important the Dragon Tiger Spirit Pearl is to the Jade Clan. With the Dragon Tiger Spirit Pearl in your hands, you currently have an advantage over others in the fight for the Patriarch's seat!"

"That's right, I don't know what benefits will there be when I become the Patriarch. Can I marry many men and become concubines?" Wei Yuanwei smiled and said.

Her words caused Yu Zheng and Yu Xiao to be completely shocked.

Married many men back as concubines?

Even the only woman who held the position of the head of the family all those years ago wouldn't dare to think of such a thing.

"The clan rules state that any child of the Jade Clan can run for the position of patriarch, but there are very few women who can run for the position of patriarch. Although there has been a female patriarch in history, all of these female Patriarchs, without exception, did not marry nor raise any children!" Yu Zheng was only speaking the truth.

If a woman were to become the Patriarch, she would be equivalent to the strongest person in the family. Who would dare to marry such a woman?

These words had already clearly told Wei Yuanwei that a woman who sat in the position of Patriarch would basically not marry her entire life.

There wouldn't be any children of their own, so the women who became the family heads would adopt some of the more experienced children as their foster children.

After receiving the approval of the clan elders, he could also compete for the seat of the family head!
