They were not loud, but Yuan Tangzhong had been paying attention to the entire conversation.

It was especially so when Yuan Xuan flashed him an occasional glance of warning. Being in a high position for so long, it was impossible for Yuan Tangzhong not to know that look!

Hearing Yuan Xuan said that the public had complained, Yuan Tangzhong’s face changed as he heard the meaning behind Yuan Xuan’s words!

The Capital City had wanted to nurture him. Even though there was not an accurate report, insiders had already communicated to Yuan Tangzhong that they should be more careful before the awards season and not slack off that might cause everything they had done to be for nothing!

Yuan Tangzhong understood, if Yuan Zhe was caught being disruptive by Yuan Xuan, his job would be lost, let alone an opportunity to get a promotion!

This nephew, Yuan Xuan, had always been a boulder in Yuan Tangzhong’s heart.

In his struggle of getting to the top, Yuan Tangzhong did not dare to lax. Even though his big brother was gone, the background Yuan Tangbai left for Yuan Xuan had been supporting him and not something he could win over overnight.

He had been in hiding in Luo Hai for years to cultivate his own influence in order to climb to the top. Unexpectedly, when Mu Feng was defeated two years ago, his promotion was deeply affected as well!

Now that he finally had a chance to move on and continue to ascend the ladder, why would he waste it away for menial things like that?

Yuan Xuan’s choice of not inheriting the military merit from his father, choosing to pursue the path of business was only a smokescreen. Luo Hai’s political climate had been held in his hands the whole time!

Yuan Xuan was young, but he was mature. His wisdom and charisma allowed him to sway hearts easily, causing plenty of problems for Yuan Tangzhong in the district of Luo Hai!

Even if he stayed in Luo Hai, he would still be suppressed by Yuan Xuan!

Furthermore, Yuan Xuan and the Shao Family from the Capital City were too close!

In the past, the master of the Shao Family and Yuan Tangbai were both pursuing Jiao Shuzhen. Jiao Shuzhen chose to reciprocate Yuan Tangbai’s feelings, and matched her own cousin to Shao Jingshan, who gave birth to Shao Yibai who became best friends with Yuan Xuan!

The aristocrats and politicians of Luo Hai had an internal scale of their own. Even if they were not keen on honoring the late Yuan Tangbai’s wishes, they would still honor the fame that came with the Capital City’s Shao Family!

Even within the family, Old Mistress was supporting Yuan Xuan. If he did not use the opportunity to lean toward the center, it would be hard for him to stay in Luo Hai and have a chance to rise again!

In this key moment, his idiot son, Yuan Zhe, was making more trouble for him!

Yuan Tangzhong warned Yuan Zhe with a fierce glare. “The things you’ve done, we’ll settle the account one by one when we get home!”

Yuan Zhe was upset, but he dared not to stand against his own father and could only endure the embarrassment!

Yuan Tangzhong wanted to change the topic, so he asked Old Mistress, “In a few days, during the Spring Lantern Festival, the entire Yuan Family will be worshipping our ancestors. Will you still send an invitation to the Hu Family of East City?

East City’s Hu Family was where Old Mistress’s only daughter was married into.

Old Mistress replied, “Butler Fu will handle that!”

“Hu Family is so prominent right now, it would be inappropriate to send a butler over. What if I go there myself to invite sister and her husband to spend the Spring Lantern Festival with you?” Yuan Tangzhong continued.

Hearing that, Yuan Xuan smirked silently. The little influence that his aunt and uncle have had been taken into account by Yuan Tangzhong. If he would recruit them that enthusiastically, he must have been desperate.

“You can do it. I was just worried that you might be working too hard, so I planned to let the butler send the invitation. It would be best if you can go. Yuan Hongmin hasn’t returned for the past two years, let her bring the children back!”

Speaking of her daughter, Old Mistress was longing to see her. The only worry she had was because Hu Family had some issues two years prior and got sacked from a governmental role. They did not dare to contact Yuan Family until recently when they had been reelected again.
