"Three breaths have already passed!"
The situation turned out to be quite awkward.
This time, the shopkeeper had no intention of responding and acted as if he didn’t hear anything.
The shopkeeper was a smart person, dealing with four family heads on one side and over twenty people in another room.
So whoever wants to come can come, but I’m not going.
While Changsun Hao was quite puzzled, facing him was only one person, Wei Zhe.
"Wei Zhe, what are you doing here?" Changsun Hao was instantly confused.
Usually, it was Yuchi who attended such occasions, now that Yuchi had left, why was this scholar Wei Zhe in this place?
Wasn’t Wei Zhe usually working inside the Wei Family?
When did he start managing external affairs?
"Patriarch Changsun, what a coincidence, you’re here too," Wei Zhe mimicked Yuchi’s tone with a smile.
"...You just realized?"
Changsun Hao was speechless.
His eyes showed a lot of pride.
He rolled his eyes and then smiled at Wei Zhe, saying, "Come in and sit for a chat?"
Wei Zhe glanced at the closed wooden door behind him, where the other family heads of different towns were quietly discussing matters.
Let’s give them a chance to have a proper conversation and not pressure anyone too much.
In the future, we’ll all be friends; as they say, familiarity breeds friendship.
Wei Zhe was genuinely curious about what his third brother was doing in the Lamp Flower Tower.
The Bai Family and the other family heads looked at Wei Zhe inexplicably.
So it’s Yuchi’s Wei eldest brother, how come after the third brother left, there’s still an eldest brother?
Human nature is repetitive...
Their thoughts were exactly the same as Changsun Hao’s.
So the few people present certainly didn’t know what Wei Zhe meant by coming to the Lamp Flower Tower at this time.
By the basic situation analysis,
They had already kicked the Wei Family out of the association, and anything they did now would be in vain.
"Did Yuchi send Wei Zhe to plead for mercy?"
This possibility first appeared in Bai Rou’s mind but was quickly dismissed by Bai Rou first.
Although Yuchi failed this time, he was still young, and he might rise again in the future.
Not to mention that when he left, he didn’t even frown, making it impossible for him to ask his big brother to come and help.
Bai Rou was even more curious about why Wei Zhe was here: So what is Wei Zhe here for?
No matter what Wei Zhe was here for, Changsun Hao now looked at the Wei Family members as if he saw his father’s killer.
He directly said to Wei Zhe:
"This time it’s also our fault, alas, we should have advised that young Yuchi, and yet..."
"Alas, he just kicked us out of the Xufu Town United Commerce Association."
"As a result, our five families in Xufu Town can only huddle together for warmth, tell me, this matter was done so..."
"Alas, it really is."
As he spoke, he sighed, Changsun Hao’s expression perfectly demonstrated what it means to act innocent and be sarcastic.
He almost directly said that it was him, Changsun Hao, who did it, so come and cut me down.
Wei Zhe looked meaningfully at Changsun Hao’s vivid performance, with a strange expression, curiously asking,
"So now, is the Xufu Town United Commerce Association only left with my Wei Family?"
Nodding, Changsun Hao hypocritically rubbed his eyelids and said bitterly,
"There’s no other way, Wei eldest brother, we didn’t want to do this either."
"We used to really like that young Yuchi."
"He was very clever before, but now, for some reason, he’s become foolish as a rat!"
"We did this to protect ourselves!"
"To ensure we won’t be attacked by the other four towns, we were forced to leave the association!"
"I believe as businessmen, Wei eldest brother, you can understand us; we had no choice."
Changsun Hao repeated several times, his entire demeanor showing he was very sorrowful and was forced to do this.
After listening, Wei Zhe’s expression became quite rich.
He then glanced at Bai Rou, bowed, and said,
"Didn’t my third brother tell you the situation?"
"Did he not say from start to finish that there was no need to worry about the Xufu Town matter, and that he could provide the right solution?"
Wei Zhe was quite puzzled.
Clearly, my third brother said he would give them a chance.
He didn’t come with the intention of driving them out; he would definitely give them a chance.
As long as they showed some trust and even a little willingness to overcome difficulties together, he would let these five families stay in the association.
Consider it a sentimental and righteous act.
But now, according to Changsun Hao, did my third brother not do so?
Bai Rou unconsciously nodded and answered, "He did, he repeated it several times."
Wei Zhe adjusted his scholarly sleeves, very curious, and asked, "Then what’s going on?"
Bai Rou then began to explain.
"At the time, Yuchi said that he had many connections in Jiangzhou City."
"He said he sent a letter to friends in Jiangzhou City, and then those friends said the matter in Xufu Town would certainly be resolved."
