His every movement exuded an air of superiority and nobility, making it clear to anyone who saw him for the first time that he was from a prominent family.
Tao Fangfang became even more smug, giving the Tao family a look that said, "You need to curry favor with me," and said fawningly to Zi Cheng.
"To be honest, young master, my family has two daughters..."
"Eldest sister!"
Tao Laoda grabbed her hand and interrupted her with a smile, "Eldest sister, your eldest brother treats you the best, don't we need to talk about our sibling bond?"
"Brother Laoda, that's not right."
Tao Laoer pulled him away and said to Tao Fangfang with a smile, "Eldest sister, second brother raised you since you were little, and second brother has always treated you the best."
"This time, you must speak up for your eldest brother."
Old Master Tao and his wife also came over, wanting Tao Fangfang to do as they wished.
Only the third branch of the Tao family stood there quietly without speaking.
Tao Lengshuang glanced at the third branch of the Tao family, a smile of unknown meaning playing on her lips. This third branch was the smartest.
"Father, Mother, eldest brother, second brother, it's not that I'm saying this to you."
Tao Fangfang twisted her plump waist and said with a condescending pout, "Whether this noble young master fancies someone from our family is not such a simple matter."
Old Master Tao and the others mistakenly thought that Tao Fangfang had done something to catch the young master's eye, so they pulled her aside and said all sorts of nice things.
"Why isn't that family speaking?" Zi Cheng gestured with his chin towards the third branch of the Tao family and asked Tao Fangfang.
Tao Fangfang instantly lowered her stance to be obsequious and said with a smile, "This is my third brother's family."
"Forgive my公子 for seeing this, but my third brother and his family are just here to have a look, and they only want to find an ordinary person for their daughter."
Zi Cheng understood and said "oh," then waved his hand, letting his attendants drive out the third branch of the Tao family.
Seeing this, the third branch of the Tao family could no longer remain calm.
"Young master, you've misunderstood. We were just standing here quietly because we were afraid of disturbing your peace."
Tao Lao San hurriedly explained, regretting his thought of being a fisherman.
Zi Cheng did not listen and told his attendants to quickly drive out the third branch of the Tao family and not disturb his peace.
The attendants efficiently drove out the third branch of the Tao family and closed the large door.
The third branch of the Tao family regretted it to the extreme and blamed each other.
"Husband, it was all you saying we should wait and see. Now that we've been driven out by the noble young master, how can we get our daughter married to the noble young master?"
"How could I have known this would happen? Let's wait and see. I don't believe that the daughters of my eldest brother and second brother can marry the noble young master. How can their daughters compare to mine?"
The couple waited anxiously.
They waited until Old Master Tao and the others came over, full of joy.
"Father, what is this...?" Tao Lao San quickly went forward to inquire about the news.
Old Master Tao found him extremely displeasing to the eye and pushed him away, "Don't get close to me, I'm about to become a rich man."
"Old man, we need to prepare more betrothal gifts. This betrothal money can be earned back."
Madam Yu's greedy face was fully revealed, "The noble young master said he would choose one from the daughters of the first and second branches. We must raise these granddaughters well."
Upon hearing this, the minds of the third branch of the Tao family went blank, and their faces instantly turned pale.
How could this be?
In comparison, their daughter was the most outstanding in the Tao family. How could the noble young master possibly choose the daughters of the first or second branches?
Tao Lao San and his wife exchanged glances, seeing the ruthlessness in each other's eyes. Only their daughter could marry the noble young master.
Tao Lengshuang, who watched the noisy Tao family leave, her eyes grew a few degrees colder.
Next, there would be a series of good shows.
"The doctor's move, killing without shedding blood, is quite ruthless," Zi Cheng said with a smile.
Tao Lengshuang said calmly, "If others do not offend me, I will not offend them."
"If the Tao family hadn't repeatedly plotted against me, and even tried to harm my mother and son for their own benefit, I wouldn't have done these things."
Zi Cheng's eyes revealed a fierce glint, and his words carried a murderous aura, "That's too easy for the Tao family."
Tao Lengshuang understood, "You don't need to trouble yourself with this. It's just a small matter, I can handle it."
Zi Cheng was not too reassured. He was worried that the Tao family would act recklessly, "Doctor, why don't I completely resolve the Tao family?"
"It's not difficult to deal with the Tao family, the problem is dealing with the person behind the Tao family."
"That's a problem."
Zi Cheng's peripheral vision caught sight of a dark guard appearing, and he asked, "What is it?"
The dark guard bowed and said, "Reporting to young master, reporting to doctor, the matter the doctor asked us to investigate has shown some progress."
Tao Lengshuang immediately closed the door and invited the dark guard into the main hall to talk, "What did you find out?"
The dark guard said that there were five suspicious individuals in total, and the identity of the middle-aged man was estimated to be known by evening.
These five people were well-known in both Lotus Town and Dongdu, and all of them worked for others.
They were the kind of people who could do anything.
The scope had narrowed, and Tao Lengshuang breathed a slight sigh of relief, "It would be best if it could be clarified by evening."
"However, this person cannot be moved for now."
Zi Cheng understood this principle. There were plenty of pawns like this.
Even if this middle-aged man were eliminated, there would be another. It was better to control this person and find out who was behind the scheme.
Only by eliminating the mastermind would these troubles cease.
"Doctor and Xiao Feng, please be careful. If anything happens, leave it to the dark guards to handle."
Tao Lengshuang nodded. She was not an arrogant person and would not disregard anyone or anything just because she had poison.
"May I ask, what is Sheng Li's situation recently?"
Zi Cheng thought for a moment before remembering who Sheng Li was, but he looked at the doctor several times.
"Speaking of which, Sheng Li, like the doctor, was quite plump back then.
Later, Sheng Li used many methods to lose weight, but she refused to have children, preferring to take concubines for her husband and raise the illegitimate sons under her name.
She is quite well-behaved now. After the last incident, her reputation was somewhat affected, and her in-laws have many complaints about her."
Tao Lengshuang rolled her eyes and said impatiently, "I'm not asking about that, I'm asking about Sheng Li... Forget it, you wouldn't know even if I asked."
"Young master, Sheng Li once caused trouble for the doctor and designed to kidnap the young master," the dark guard added. "The reason was that Sheng Li's rice and grain shop disliked the doctor and the master."
Zi Cheng was amused to the point of anger, his eyes filled with coldness, "Sheng Li really has the nerve. Just because she relies on her father, she dares to disregard human life like this."
"Doctor, leave this matter to me. I guarantee that Sheng Li will have no words to express her suffering and will have to obediently eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures."
If it weren't for General Sheng's connection, Sheng Li would have died long ago. She still dared to harm Xiao Feng and the doctor. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Tao Lengshuang gave him an appreciative look and handed him a packet of pills, "To regulate your body."
Seeing the simple packaging wrapped in paper, Zi Cheng's mouth twitched, "Doctor, can you change to a more high-end packaging?"
