Surprise! My paranoid ex-husband has also been reborn

Chapter 176 Darkness Chen Cang
The most taboo thing in the cabinet is a person with both power and heart. If they are out of control, it will cause the cabinet to collapse.

But Wei Chen is different. He is suppressed by Wei Heng in every aspect. If he wants to break through this limitation, he can only enter the cabinet and use the cabinet to suppress the Wei family.

On the other hand, the cabinet will also make an exception to allow Wei Chen to become a member of the cabinet because it wants to check and balance the Wei family, especially Wei Heng.

"Check, is he pursuing the pavilion master's daughter recently?"

Wei Heng suddenly remembered that Lan Ya'er had said that Wei Chen mentioned the Heart of the Ocean twice in front of her, as well as the pavilion master's daughter.

Wei Chen is indeed pursuing the daughter of the pavilion master.

However, first he had to make sure that Wei Heng and the pavilion master Qian Jin had an intersection as the legend outside said, because this was very important to him.

The empire is governed by a cabinet, and cabinet members elect a cabinet leader.

The current cabinet leader, Long Aotian, has been in office for 15 years. The cabinet is reshuffled every three years and he has been the cabinet leader for five consecutive terms. What is impressive is not only his ability but also his means.

The Long Family was originally one of the top wealthy families in Sichuan City, but because Long Aotian had to cut off his business with the Long Family after being elected to the cabinet, Long Aotian almost left the Long Family and lived in the Cabinet Office with his wife and daughter.

He is known as a daughter slave.

His daughter said that if she wanted any stars in the sky, he could pick them for her right away.

He couldn't do it except one thing.

Three years ago, the banquet held when Long Aotian was re-elected as the fifth cabinet chief was the first time his daughter met Wei Heng. It was rare that she did not cry to him about marrying Wei Heng, but she never That night I started to get lovesick.

No matter how much Long Aotian asked others to insinuate themselves, Wei Heng could not get Wei Heng to come and see his daughter in person.

The news that the Pavilion Master's daughter was obsessed with the heir of the Wei family was a big sensation in Sichuan City at that time. Everyone wanted to see whether the powerful Pavilion Master was more powerful, or the heir to the Wei family who was famous for his vigor and vigor.

Unexpectedly, this imminent war disappeared unexpectedly.

No one can figure out why the Pavilion Master, who has always been so capable, kept such a low profile this time.

The secret is only known to the person involved.

"Xiaoling, why are you up? You have to go back to your room to rest after taking the medicine."

As soon as he entered the door, he saw his daughter sitting in the living room waiting for him.

Long Aotian rarely showed a long-lost smile.

"Dad, you are back. I have something to ask you for."

"Silly boy, just call me if you need anything and ask me to come back early. Why are you waiting here?"

Long Aotian stroked Long Xiaoling's dull and sparse hair distressedly.

Her complexion was getting worse day by day, and the doctor said there was no cure and the disease was finally over.

"I'm afraid I'm disturbing you. Mom said you've been busy lately."

"It doesn't matter how busy you are, tell me, what do you want Dad to do?"

In the past three years, the disease has tortured a beautiful girl into a beautiful girl. It is rumored that she suffers from lovesickness, and only the Long family knows that she has a genetic disease.

Three years ago, inexplicable symptoms appeared, and her physical condition declined rapidly, and she still couldn't see the sun. She was only 22 years old, but she was as pale as a little old lady.

"Wei Chen said he would take me out to watch the stars tomorrow night, is that okay?"

"Wei Chen?" Long Aotian frowned.

Recently, the sixth son of the Wei family somehow caught the attention of his daughter. Not only did the two of them chat happily, but from the look in his daughter's eyes, it was obvious that they were in love.

Judging from his daughter's condition, if it weren't for his status, Wei Chen would probably not even bother to look at her. However, seeing her so happy and smiling like this for a long time, Long Aotian really couldn't bear to expose Wei Chen.

Besides, the doctor also said that in the last three months, it is best to satisfy her wishes so that she will not suffer so much when she leaves.

"can."

After thinking for a long time, Long Aotian agreed.

When Long Xiaoling heard this, her bright eyes curled up.

She threw herself into Long Aotian's arms coquettishly, "I knew dad wouldn't reject me."

"Of course."

Where she couldn't see, Long Aotian showed a fierce expression.

He was angry that Wei Chen dared to take advantage of his precious daughter. On the other hand, he was glad that his appearance could make his daughter smile again. So, let him stay with his daughter forever.

the next night.

As expected, Wei Chen arrived at the door of the Cabinet Office.

after awhile.

The door opens.

A car drove out.Stopping in front of him, when the car window was lowered, Wei Chen saw the figure who often appeared in the news.

His expression changed, but he quickly adjusted himself. He bowed respectfully towards the person inside and said, "Hello, Mr. Pavilion Master."

Long Aotian glanced at him indifferently and said lightly, "Go in, you must leave before ten o'clock."

"Yes."

Wei Chen secretly rejoiced that Long Aotian was just like the legend, he would satisfy whatever his daughter wanted.

As the window went up, the car also left.

A woman who looked like a housekeeper walked up to him and asked, "Is this Mr. Wei? Miss asked me to take you upstairs."

"Thank you."

Wei Chen thanked him like a gentleman. Wearing a high-end and decent suit, he looked like a noble man, a gentleman and handsome.

The housekeeper nodded and led him into the Neike Mansion.

This was his first time here. He had made video calls with Long Xiaoling before, and occasionally saw every inch of decoration here from her background. But when he actually visited it in person, he realized that it turned out that the Cabinet Office was A majestic palace.

"You came?"

On the second floor, on the spacious open-air balcony, Long Xiaoling, who was sitting in a wheelchair, turned her head excitedly and smiled at the tall and handsome man walking towards her.

His features are good-looking.

What's more important is that he actually looks a lot like someone.

The man who had been buried in her heart for three years and had been tormenting her.

"are you cold?"

Wei Chen had video chatted with her several times, but when he saw her in person, he was a little shocked.

What kind of disease does she have that can actually make a good-looking girl look like this, with pale skin, thin and yellow hair, sagging skin on her face, but a pair of beautiful shining eyes.

It's a pity, if it wasn't for her illness, her appearance should be just as good as Lan Ya'er's.

He took off his coat and gently put it on Long Xiaoling.

She didn't refuse and said with a smile, "Do you think I'm ugly?"

Who doesn't love to be beautiful, but she was the only one who could say it so frankly when she became ugly due to illness.

It seems quite optimistic.

Wei Chen knelt down and looked level with Long Xiaoling in the wheelchair.

He replied, "Not ugly."

Long Xiaoling knew clearly that he was lying to make her happy, but she was very happy after hearing it.

"Thank you for the white lie."

"I'm serious." Wei Chen argued.

However, Long Xiaoling didn't seem to care about her current appearance at all.

"Push me over there."

She pointed to the small garden on the balcony.

"it is good."

Wei Chen stood up and slowly pushed the wheelchair over.In fact, he didn't quite understand why he was able to attract Long Xiaoling's attention.

Is it just because his surname is Wei?
"Do you know my fifth brother Wei Heng? I heard that three years ago, it was rumored that you had a relationship with my fifth brother?"

He was testing, and it was clear that it was nothing but nothing, but he still asked.

Long Xiaoling didn't answer, nor looked back at him, but just looked up at the starry night sky.

"You know it's a rumor and you still ask, but I do know that your fifth brother is getting married next month. Does the bride look good?"

"Beautiful." Wei Chen did not hesitate. Lan Ya'er was indeed the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

"That's good. Can you tell me how Wei Heng and his fiancée met? You don't know, right?"

Wei Chen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course I know."

How could I not know? I have already found out everything.

Next, he told Long Xiaoling about the various things that happened between Wei Heng and Lan Ya'er for nearly two hours.

Finally, she asked, "If I didn't get sick, would your fifth brother like me? After all, Lan Yaer hadn't appeared three years ago."

She thought that she knew Wei Heng earlier than Lan Ya'er.

"This, it should be."

Wei Chen's face darkened. Could it be that she accepted his pursuit because she wanted to find the shadow of Wei Heng in him?

However, originally he wanted to use the power of the Pavilion Master. If she was willing to take the bait, that would be the best. If not, then he would be willing to tell her more about Wei Heng.

"Do you still like my fifth brother?"

"You see it?"

Long Xiaoling breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to pretend to accept Wei Chen's pursuit, but when she saw him, she would think of that person.

However, she didn't dare to really meet that person, given her current appearance.She knew that she had always known what kind of disease she had, and she also knew that her time was running out, so she wanted to indulge her thoughts in these last days, but she didn't expect that Wei Chen's intrusion would cause her to suffer. She had a glimmer of hope, she despicably thought that being with Wei Chen was equivalent to being with that person.

The result is still different.

"If I can help you get what you want, would you like to help me first?"

"Tell me about it." Long Xiaoling asked without any hesitation.

"If you can convince the cabinet master to let me join the cabinet as a member, maybe I can find a way for you to enter the Wei family and see my fifth brother every day."

"It's a word."

The moment Long Xiaoling raised her head, Wei Chen was shocked by her persistent eyes.

I didn't expect that she could hide it so deeply.

on the way back.

Wei Chen turned around on his phone, still thinking about the agreement he had just made with Long Xiaoling.

There is only one way to let her enter the Wei family, which is to enter as his fiancée. Wei Heng and Lan Ya'er still need to stay in the Wei family's old house for more than ten days.

These ten days were enough for Long Xiaoling.

the next day.

The whole Wei family was in a state of uproar.

It's all because of Wei Chen's words, I want to marry a wife, and the object is the daughter of the pavilion master.

"Are you crazy? The pavilion master's daughter is suffering from a terminal illness. No matter how powerful a woman who is about to die is, what's the use? Are you not deliberately trying to piss me off?"

Wei Guo was so angry that his face turned red and his neck thickened. Shang Xue watched quietly from the side without making a sound.

However, a group of elders helped scold Wei Chen.

"Old Liu, this woman not only has power but also a life."

"That's right, besides, our Wei family does not participate in the cabinet. This is the ancestral precept. You suddenly said that you want to marry the daughter of the cabinet master. This is a blatant violation of the ancestral precept."

Wei Chen's face was gloomy. Of course he knew that the Wei family would not allow it, but he already had a countermeasure. "Dad, uncle, it is useless for you to object. The cabinet master has already agreed and nominated me to become a new cabinet member. Very soon." The approval will come soon, and I will definitely join the cabinet, and maybe I will be the new cabinet chief. Don’t you want the Wei family to truly control the entire empire?"

His ambition was never just about the Wei family, he wanted the entire empire.

"What a strong tone, I don't even think about whether you have this ability." Wei Guosheng's face turned green and white, thinking about that night three years ago.

Long Aotian also promised him this, but he couldn't get Wei Heng to agree.

Unexpectedly, this kind of thing would happen a second time, also to his sixth son.

Shang Xue examined it for a while, and finally found that Wei Guosheng had shaken his mind.

Just as he was about to persuade him, he was startled by the person who entered the door.

"How did you come?"

When Wei Heng walked in, everyone in the living room fell silent.

The father and son, who had been arguing so hard just now, suddenly shut up in unison.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Wei Heng didn't want to stay any longer.

"Sorry to bother you all, I just came in to have a word with my mother." He walked up to Shang Xue and said softly, "Mom, your daughter-in-law is looking for you."

"Oh, my daughter-in-law is looking for me. Where is she? Take me there."

Shang Xue got up from the sofa and hurriedly followed Wei Heng away.

Escape from this suffocating space.

"It's better for my son to be a hero and save his mother."

Shang Xue breathed in the fresh space outside and suddenly felt emotional.

"Don't get involved in this kind of thing." Wei Heng said coldly.

"I didn't get involved, so I can't escape. I'm the mistress."

"Didn't I take you away?"

"Thank you son."

Shang Xue saw Wei Heng's serious face again and tugged on his sleeves, "Good son, don't be angry. Mom will understand next time."

"Well, just remember."

Therefore, when he learned that Wei Chen was going to marry the daughter of the cabinet master and enter the cabinet, he immediately came to take Shang Xue away from this place of right and wrong.

Finally, Wei Guosheng agreed.

three days later.

Wei Chen's name was on the list of new members of the cabinet.

The day Long Xiaoling was taken to the old home of the Wei family.

All the respectable people in Sichuan City are paying attention to this matter.

After all, the pavilion master who has been in office for five consecutive terms married his daughter to the Wei family, and with the support of the towering tree of the Wei family, it would be difficult for Long Aotian to step down from the position of pavilion master.

This is also what those people fear most.

At the same time, bad speculations and rumors also emerged one after another.

Some people say that the master of the pavilion is playing a game of chess to win over the Wei family.

Another theory is that the Wei family will use this to replace Long Aotian and become the new head of the pavilion.

However, some people say that the daughter of the pavilion master obviously fell in love with Wei Heng three years ago and fell in love with Wei Heng, so why did she marry Wei Chen three years later? Is there some unknown secret in this?

"These people have nothing to do when they're full, so they just pass their mouths and hide."

When Fan Xiaoxi came back from Nanyang, she immediately went to Wei's house to meet Lan Ya'er, fearing that this incident would affect her mood of getting married.

After all, people outside also said that the Wei family was secretly plotting against Chen Cang, and that Wei Heng was enjoying the blessings of others, marrying Lan Yaer openly and secretly marrying Long Xiaoling.
