Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 220 Cooperation reached

Upon seeing this, the guests all fell silent.

Sheng Yuqing frowned and asked, "Old Four, what are you doing?"

"I overheard these three distinguished guests talking about something in the garden that I didn't know about. I figured since everyone's here today, we could confront them face to face and have it all sorted out. If these rumors are allowed to continue, they're bound to cause a lot of trouble in the future."

The three of them were sweating profusely, and the smugness they had just felt when they were gossiping was completely gone.

"Fourth Master, I just heard it from others...don't take it seriously." The man wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Yeah, don't take it seriously..." the other two people said hurriedly.

"I don't take what you said seriously. Zekai, come here!" Sheng Yu'an shouted.

The servant pushed Sheng Zekai over.

"Fourth Uncle." Sheng Zekai looked at him in confusion.

"These three distinguished guests said that you are a homosexual and that you fought with the young master of the Li family for a man." Sheng Yu'an said in a deep voice.

Sheng Zekai's heart was pounding, and he shouted with a dark face: "Don't you want your fucking mouths anymore? If this is a fight for a man, I'm fighting for your father! Hurry and send your own father to my bed!"

When the guests heard this, they were shocked at first, and then burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"how could it be possible!"

"That's what I'm saying! It's nonsense!"

Bai Xun's face was gloomy.

Although the Fourth Master deliberately concealed the name, these people should be referring to Nanchun.

Nanchun came over and took his hand, asking, "What happened?"

"Someone is talking nonsense." Bo Song's face was not good either.

"What nonsense are you three talking about?" Sheng Yuquan said with a dark face.

The three knew they had gotten into serious trouble and hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, Third Master Sheng! Second Master, it's our fault for not keeping our mouths shut... We were just guessing!"

"Please go back. The Sheng family does not welcome people who make up stories without any evidence and slander others." Old Master Sheng said.

The three men left in disgrace.

"If such rumors are spread again in the future, my Sheng family will definitely investigate it to the end." Old Master Sheng said with a cold face.

Nanchun nodded gratefully to Sheng Yu'an.

With the Sheng family blocking the way, no one would gossip about him because of that incident anymore.

"It's just an unpleasant little episode, please don't mind it. Please take your seats, distinguished guests. We have prepared some light wine and snacks for you to enjoy." Sheng Yuqing said with a smile.

After the guests sat down, Sheng Yuqing sent someone to bring the jade Buddha.

"Dad, this is the jade Buddha that I bought specially for you." Sheng Yuqing presented the jade Buddha.

The jade Buddha's texture was as smooth as fat, its color pure. The statue was carved with exquisite detail, its facial features fully defined, its hair clearly visible. The lines of its robe flowed naturally, its hem billowing gently, and every fold was lifelike.

Mr. Sheng smiled and said, "Zeqing is thoughtful."

"Dad, look at mine! I put a lot of effort into this birthday gift." Sheng Yuquan couldn't wait to take out the brocade box.

Nanchun's heart tightened, as it was another white porcelain plate with official Ding kiln style.

"Young Master, why is this exactly the same as the one you took home?" Nanchun asked in a low voice.

Bo Song shook his head and said, "Maybe it's from a set! There can't be just one of these porcelain plates."

"A white porcelain plate with official mark from the Ding kiln!" Sheng Yuquan said proudly.

Old Master Sheng took it and looked at it carefully. Nanchun saw a flash of anger on his face, but it quickly returned to normal.

Bo Song naturally noticed it too.

Mr. Sheng is knowledgeable and he must have figured out that it is a fake.

"That's thoughtful." He said and put the porcelain plate back.

Sheng Yuquan felt a little aggrieved when he saw his indifferent reaction.

"Dad, you don't like it?"

At this moment, Mr. Sheng just wanted to give him a big eye roll. He suppressed his anger and said, "I just think you shouldn't spend too much."

"I'm not as wealthy as my elder and second brothers. I only have two pieces of brocade. Please don't despise me." Sheng Yu'an said.

"This is the treasure of Fuyuanji. Few people can make this thing now. How could I despise it?" said Mr. Sheng.

Even the old man praised the fourth brother's two pieces of cloth, but when it came to me, it became a "don't spend too much"...

Isn't this telling everyone clearly that he doesn't like his birthday gift?

Thinking of this, Sheng Yuquan felt even worse.

Seeing this, Sheng Yuqing whispered, "If you have anything to say, let's talk after the birthday banquet."

Sheng Yuqing had no choice but to suppress his grievances and anger.

"Uncle, I want to talk to you about something." Bai Xun walked over with a wine glass.

Sheng Yuqing was a little surprised, but didn't refuse.

"Let's go to a quiet place." Sheng Yuqing said.

The two went to the tea room next door.

The servant brought tea and snacks and then left.

"I want to talk to you about building a power plant in Jincheng." Bai Xun went straight to the point without beating around the bush.

Sheng Yuqing was slightly startled, then chuckled and said, "You are quite straightforward. Is your Bai family now on the same boat with the Fourth Brother?"

Bai Xun said, "I only represent myself, not the entire Bai family. I only do things that are profitable, regardless of my position."

"In that case, what benefit can I get? Not to mention making money by selling it to him, my coal is in short supply, so I don't lack that much. Besides, helping the opponent grow and develop, isn't that something only a fool would do?" Sheng Yuqing said lightly after taking a sip of tea.

"You originally wanted to use Marshal Li as a pawn against the Fourth Master, but he was clueless. Not only did he fail, but he also made people lean towards the Fourth Master. Now you are the one on the defensive.

"Most of the routes to and from Yangcheng are controlled by the Fourth Master. This means that at least half of your wealth is controlled by him. If you want to break this situation, you must seize something that can control the Fourth Master, so that he dare not act rashly." Bai Xun said.

This is true.

Li Baiwan's incident put him in a passive position.

"Aren't you going to cooperate with the fourth brother? Why are you giving me advice on how to restrain him?" Sheng Yuqing asked in confusion.

"When gods fight, mortals suffer. Everyone who has cooperated with you, the Sheng brothers, hopes that you can achieve a balance of power and check and balance each other. Only in this way can everyone live in peace and make good money.

"If the Fourth Master's power plant is built, he'll need a large and continuous supply of coal. And coal is your leverage to contain him. As long as he doesn't want the power plant to shut down, he'll have to take your concerns into account, to some extent," Bai Xun said.

Sheng Yuqing pondered for a moment and said, "Did the fourth brother agree?"

Bai Xun said, "I own the majority of the power plant, so I have the final say. If you disagree, that's fine. My brother has already contacted the Western side, and the engineers have been to Jincheng to check it out. Hydroelectric power generation is not impossible."

This is what Sheng Yuqing fears most.

If the fourth brother bypasses him and finds a way to build a power plant on his own, it will be difficult to defeat him in the future.

"Okay, I agree to cooperate." Sheng Yuqing said.
