The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1343 - 1342: Strength of the Jade

The Zhang Family Patriarch tacitly allowed Zhang Wei to speak at the scene.Standing on the stage, Zhang Wei exuded more presence than Zhang Xiong, appearing every bit the head of the family as he looked disdainfully at all the guests below.

Tang Rao didn't like those leopard-like ambitious eyes.

"I, Zhang Wei, have watched as my brother's wife and my brother Zhang Xiong come together, watched as my brother Zhang Xiong forced his wife to marry him. Over the years, my brother has tried his best to show affection in front of everyone, so much so that we've all been moved. Today, with everyone here, I just want to ask my brother Zhang Xiong, the Zhang Family Patriarch, have you always had feelings for my sister-in-law?"

Even as an old husband and wife, Zhang Wei's question about whether Zhang Xiong has always had feelings for Mrs. Zhang seemed odd, and Zhang Xiong felt he couldn't follow his thoughts.

"Of course I love my wife, there is no doubt about that. I thought my elder brother would offer a congratulatory speech to prevent me from neglecting my wife."

Zhang Xiong tried to shift the topic towards what he was thinking about, but Zhang Wei, clearly there to cause trouble, wouldn't let Zhang Xiong off the hook.

"No, what I mean is, since you keep your wife close to your heart, and all other men know what your wife likes, why is it that only you don't know what your wife likes? I mean no harm, just want everyone to know, your wife might as well be someone else's wife, wouldn't that be more fitting?"

Hahahahaha.

Though the guests tried to hold back, hearing one person laugh caused everyone else to break into collective laughter.

In his life, Zhang Xiong hated most to hear someone talk about his wife having any entanglements with other men. He hadn't forgotten how his previous wife died.

It was because someone claimed Zhang Xiong's wife was fooling around outside, causing Zhang Xiong to become suspicious, often sneering at his previous wife when Zhang Yishan wasn't around, leading his wife to die in grief.

This was not the first time such a thing happened; before marrying, anyone rumored to be of questionable character wouldn't continue seeing him.

He wouldn't investigate the truth; sometimes, knowing the truth didn't require investigation, he could rely solely on his intuition.

Here, it was Zhang Xiong who called the shots.

The previous one can be forgotten, dead means in the past, now this wife spends as much time with Zhang Xiong as possible.

Such a woman should be trusted and understood, right?

But Zhang Xiong didn't think so.

If all her time spent with Zhang Xiong was just a facade, and Mrs. Zhang was using the brief moments to find a wild lover outside, Zhang Xiong, out of trust, might not think in that direction at all.

"Tang Rao is always giving away things to women and using my nephew Zhang Yishan to present precious top-grade Elixir Pills, doesn't that strike you as unusual?"

Ha?

Tang Rao gets dragged into this again.

This time by some old man Tang Rao has never met, Zhang Xiong's so-called elder brother.

He outlined every point meticulously and in detail, almost making Tang Rao believe Zhang Wei's nonsense.

Luckily, he was the person involved, and he knew the truth inside out.

"Can you stop dragging everything onto me? I'm just doing a good deed, and your family feud shouldn't be pinned on me. I'm too frail to handle it."

There's a kind of despair in being wronged time and again, wanting to explain the grievances in your heart but having no opportunity to explain.

Tang Rao wanted to speak, but he found his mouth seemed to be controlled.

He had a whole lot to say but only mouthed without any sound.

"Zhang Wei, what have you done to me?"

Tang Rao grew agitated, and the crowd could only see Tang Rao's animated and exaggerated movements, but could not hear any sound coming from his mouth.

"Tang Rao, we all know what you've done, there's no need to explain, and explaining is just covering up. My sister-in-law as well, as an elder brother, I'm saying this upfront; if there weren't evidence, I wouldn't suggest my sister-in-law is entangled with this man."

Ha?

What kind of reasoning is this? Tang Rao was almost scared by the bizarre logic.

"Powerful Soul, it's over, if I don't speak soon, this shit's gonna land on me. Aren't you gonna think of something?"

At this moment, no one else was there to ask help from, except for the Powerful Soul. Tang Rao couldn't think of anyone else to seek help from.

"I was anxious just now, more anxious than you. If you encounter someone with the same level of power it's still okay, but Zhang Wei is more powerful than you. What can I do?"

There are some things the Powerful Soul can help solve, and some things even it cannot handle, just as now.

"Then what to do, I wouldn't even consider a woman so much older than me if I were blind, and if she wants me to take responsibility, I can't just act as a fallback. Anyway, if I don't have a good day, don't expect to have a good day either."

Tang Rao gave the Powerful Soul a stern order. The Powerful Soul, residing within Tang Rao, occasionally had to gauge Tang Rao's mood. It wasn't the first time he was threatened, and by now he was used to it, trying to find a way to break the constraint Zhang Wei placed.

"Got it, I can let you speak now."

Indeed, under pressure comes motivation, and the Powerful Soul conjured a Jade out of nowhere, its entirety was warm and gave off a refined beauty.

"What is this thing?"

As Tang Rao spoke, the Jade had already reached his hand.

"It's my former Jade, when you wear it, for a short time you can have the power I had in my prime. Remember, it's just for a short time, once the time exceeds, you will faint due to exhaustion. This Jade's power can be reflected in your speech and combat."

If it weren't for being at the end of the road, the Powerful Soul wouldn't bear to hand the Jade directly to Tang Rao.

He just hoped this kid Tang Rao could toughen up a bit, so in the future, he could lead the Powerful Soul back to the top of life.

"So magical, how long is the short time you mentioned? At least give me a number?"

If it's a short time, Tang Rao would just finish trash-talking Zhang Wei and leave; if longer, he could do away with the entire Zhang Family. Of course, Tang Rao also wants to test how strong the peak power of the Powerful Soul is, in case he couldn't even beat Zhang Wei, what then?

"At most, about a day. The longer you exert energy, the longer you'll be unconscious. I haven't used the Jade for a long time, so I'm not sure."

Being able to last a day was more than enough for Tang Rao.

Tang Rao quickly clutched the Jade tightly, fearing the Powerful Soul might suddenly change his mind.

"Then just a day, and I'll take down the whole Zhang Family."

"Hey, hey hey!"

The Powerful Soul hadn't had time to stop Tang Rao, who had already vanished before his eyes.

"Zhang Wei, right? Were you happy pinning shit on me just now?"

Once Tang Rao could speak, every sentence was loaded with gunpowder.

"You, you can speak?"

Just looking at Tang Rao, Zhang Wei's eyes were filled with disbelief.
