Chapter 306 - Marriage Certificate
Chapter 306: Marriage Certificate
If Ouyang Jinling and Ouyang Tian were not on the same side, then who was Ouyang Jinling’s backer? Or was she on her own side? Then what did she want to do? Did she have other plans to rope in Yan Kuan?
Ouyang Jinling was too mysterious. Whether it was her appearance, blood, or anything else, she looked like Ouyang Jinling. However, Yan Kuan would never mistake her. He would not mistake his own mother, even though his relationship with Ouyang Jinling was not good.
Things were getting more and more complicated. No one knew whether Ouyang Jinling was on Ouyang Tian’s side or his side. However, it seemed that she would definitely not be on Ouyang Tian’s side.
As long as she was not on Ouyang Tian’s side, Yan Kuan could temporarily relax a little with Ouyang Jinling. After all, his main opponent right now was Ouyang Tian.
“Yan Kuan, shouldn’t you tell me the purpose of that key and why the Ouyang family and the man in black are asking me for that key?”
Shen Xiaoxiao suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and asked Yan Kuan this question. Yan Kuan was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect this little guy to still remember this question. He thought that she had completely forgotten about this matter when she was just eating and drinking.
“Didn’t you only think about eating? I was the one who thought about all the brain-draining things that you said. Why are you paying so much attention and putting in so much effort now?”
“I’m not an idiot. I really don’t care about anything anymore. Moreover, this key has been passed down by my Shen family for a hundred years. Although the Shen Enterprise is currently dormant and is on the verge of bankruptcy in the eyes of outsiders, I still have Dongyou Country to support me. Once my Dongyou Country erupts, I will teach those people a lesson!
“My Dongyou Country is developing very fast. I’ll keep it for my babies in the future!”
Yan Kuan smiled and touched the top of her head. This little girl’s proud look was still very rare to him.
“Dongyou Country is indeed developing very fast. Even I didn’t expect it to develop so quickly. It’s only a matter of time before Dongyou Country breaks into the world stage! However, you don’t have to leave it to our children. You can keep it for yourself. There’s still me as a father!”
“You keep yours, I’ll keep mine. Don’t interrupt. Quickly tell me what’s going on with that key and why so many people want it.”
Shen Xiaoxiao was not so easily fooled. She looked at Yan Kuan and immediately asked again.
Yan Kuan helplessly pulled her over and pulled her into his arms. Then, he slowly said, “I remember telling you that the Ouyang family has been around for a thousand years. Do you still remember? To be able to survive for a thousand years is the most important thing of the aristocratic families. They don’t care about politics. Only then can they be allowed by the royal families of the various dynasties.”
“In the beginning, this inheritance was maintained very well. The Ouyang family did indeed become the only aristocratic family that survived for a thousand years. However, in the Ming Dynasty, the Ouyang family had a figure.”
“Ming Dynasty? Who?”
“Wei Zhongxian.”
“Wei Zhongxian, Ming Dynasty. Oh, the eunuch of the Brocade Guard. Is that him?”
“He was a famous eunuch during the Ming Dynasty. There’s no need to say anything else. It’s just that Wei Zhongxian was actually the illegitimate son of the Ouyang family’s eldest son. He had been living among the common people since he was young. Later, he entered the palace and became a eunuch.”
“When Emperor Xizong succeeded the throne, he was favored by Emperor Xizong. At that time, Emperor Xizong greatly favored Wei Zhongxian and asked him to take the lead in repairing the imperial mausoleum. Not only did Wei Zhongxian find out the whereabouts of the imperial mausoleum, but he also secretly stole all the items that were buried with Emperor Xizong and placed them in another secret place.”
“He used a key as a trigger and that place became his treasure trove. Later on, all the treasures that he embezzled over the years were placed in a secret place for safekeeping. That year, after Zhu Youjian succeeded the throne, he did his best to investigate Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian asked his confidant to return the treasures he obtained to the Ouyang family. However, when his confidant ran away, he accidentally fell off a cliff and went missing. This key then went missing!”
“Are you saying that the key to the Shen family actually belongs to the Ouyang family? Is that what you mean? It’s the key to the hidden treasure?”
Shen Xiaoxiao was shocked. She didn’t expect that it would turn out like this. If the key in her hand was originally from the Ouyang family, then she was really speechless.
“It should be this key. Otherwise, Ouyang Tian wouldn’t want to get it from you in such a big way. However, your family has been passed down for a hundred years. Didn’t you also say that there is a life-saving fund in it? The so-called life-saving fund might be the treasure passed down by Wei Zhongxian!”
“If the Ouyang family wants to achieve great things, the first thing they have to do is to obtain a huge amount of financial support. So now, they need the whereabouts of this batch of treasures even more. Since the key has been seen again, then you would naturally be the next target of the Ouyang family.”
“So I’m telling you to hide this key well. No matter who wants it, they can’t take it out.”
“How annoying. Money moves people’s hearts. This Ouyang family must be crazy about money! Alright, go to sleep. What nonsense are you telling me!”
Yan Kuan watched as Shen Xiaoxiao turned hostile and fell asleep. He was speechless to the extreme. This little thing was really getting more and more naughty.
The key had been found. Yan Kuan wasn’t sure if the Ouyang family knew where the treasure was hidden, but he felt that the Shen family would definitely know. Shen Xiaoxiao might know but couldn’t explain it clearly.
“Do you remember your grandfather telling you where the location of your family’s life-saving fund is?”
When Shen Xiaoxiao was about to fall asleep, she heard this. She opened her eyes and sat up again. The location of the treasure. Yes, this was also a big problem. Just with the key, they had to know the location.
However, it was not just her past life that she did not have any memories of it. After waking up in this life, she had also never known about this problem!
“I was kidnapped at such a young age, so I definitely don’t know. However, Third Uncle might know something. It’s just that I always feel that the black-clothed man is related to Third Uncle, so I’m not sure now whether Third Uncle knows about it or not.”
“Didn’t you say that Third Uncle is coming over tomorrow? At that time, won’t you know everything if you give it a try?”
“That’s right, Third Uncle is going to be a grandfather. I haven’t told him yet. This matter is really troublesome. I don’t know if Third Uncle will feel that I have humiliated his ancestors by having a child before marriage.”
When Yan Kuan heard this, he couldn’t accept it. What did she mean by having a child before marriage and insulting her ancestors? Was Yan Kuan that unpresentable? Yan Kuan immediately got out of bed, walked to the bedside table, took out a pile of things, and threw them on the bed.
“Look for yourself.”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Yan Kuan who suddenly got out of bed and brought a bunch of things over. She was a little puzzled. She slowly flipped through the pile of things. It was incredible to see that they were all marriage certificates. There were more than ten or twenty of them from America, France, Germany, and all over the world. She did not know what was going on with this person, but he actually brought out so many marriage certificates. Moreover, all of them were his and her names.
Shen Xiaoxiao immediately asked in anger, “Are you sick? Why are you bringing so many fake certificates here?”
Yan Kuan was angry. Fake? How could he have the leisure to bring over ten or twenty fake things?
“Open your eyes wide and take a good look. Are they real or fake? Every place that the Dark Empire touches has our marriage certificates.”
Only then did Shen Xiaoxiao take this matter seriously. When did this happen? Why did he get so many? What was he thinking?
In other words, she was already considered to be married, right? Was that what he meant?
