Everyone looked towards the source of the sound, and when they saw that it was Ge Ming, the elder of Miaodanfang, they were all surprised. Miaodanfang, like the City Lord's Mansion, has always been neutral and disdained to associate with the family, but Ge Ming's words were too obvious to protect the Tang family.
There was a gloom in the eyes of the other three major families. If the Tang family really had a good relationship with Miaodanfang, then the Tang family, which was the weakest, would really become a hard nut to crack.
Mr. Tang did not expect that someone would speak for the Tang family at this moment, and secretly nodded to Ge Ming to express his gratitude.
"I think let's just forget about it." Liu Wuhui knew that if he continued to pursue the case forcefully, he would not give face to Miaodanfang. This behemoth was not something the Liu family could compete with.
Everyone also sighed, since the Tang family was protected by the Miaodanfang, and Mr. Liu said so, what was originally a good show was broken up like this.
The city lord never showed up. Firstly, the guests had not arrived yet, and secondly, he wanted to see how Tang Yan, whom he had followed recently, could resolve the embarrassment of not having a seat.
Lin Xiao himself had guessed how Tang Yan would solve the problem, but all the methods he could think of might not be able to regain the position that belonged to the Tang family.
Who would have thought that Tang Yan would not act according to common sense and dare to attack the Qian family in the city lord's palace, nor would he have expected that Mr. Tang would disregard his face and attack the juniors of the Qian family.
But what surprised the city lord the most was that Miaodanfang actually stood up for the Tang family. What was the intrigue in this?
It seemed that Tang Yan had made a stupid move, but when a few things he didn't expect came together, what should have been a big deal was calmed down, and the Tang family won a complete victory.
Thinking that the matter would be over, Lin Xiao was about to walk out of the main hall when suddenly a very discordant voice sounded in the hall again: "What nonsense are the four major families? Their own dogs were beaten, and they didn't dare to let out a fart. What if? If something happens to my innocence, I guess I can only admit that I am unlucky and have wasted so many years of loyalty."
Tang Yan's seemingly plain words made the atmosphere that was originally calm become subtle again.
His own dog was beaten, and only the Qian family was beaten in the hall. The Qian family has indeed vassalized the Liu family in recent years. Isn't this just calling the Qian family the dogs of the Liu family?
The Qian family was angry, and the Liu family finally said to forget it. At first, no one was surprised by what the Liu family did. After all, Miaodanfang was such a big force, so they said forget it. If anyone makes an argument again, wouldn't it mean they don't know how to appreciate it?
But this matter was brought out by Tang Yan in public, and the taste changed again. The Qian family must have felt even more awkward. The originally close relationship between the Qian and Liu families would also be affected by this matter.
And other families that rely on the Liu family will also carefully consider whether the Liu family is reliable as a backer.
This playboy's simple words had such an obvious effect, successfully instigating the relationship between the Liu family and the affiliated families.
Mr. Liu's face darkened, why is this Tang family boy so vicious?
But if we hold the Tang family accountable now, we are really going against Miaodanfang. This dumb loss can only be swallowed temporarily.
"Wonderful!" The city lord clapped his hands and praised deeply in his heart.
Tang Yan sat down on his seat carelessly. Liu Zhi glanced at Tang Yan with amusement, and said leisurely: "Who did I think it was? It turns out to be Young Master Tang. I accidentally beat you up last time. I'm really sorry."
"Haha, Miss Lin was present last time. I relied on my grace and didn't care about you. In just two days, didn't I beat up Liu Yuan and Liu Quan? In a few days, I will go to Liu's house to beat up Liu Yuan and Liu Quan. Everyone in your family, young and old, will be slapped together." Tang Yan responded with a smile.
Liu Zhi's eyes gradually turned cold when he looked at Tang Yan, and he said quietly: "Then I really look forward to that day. Mr. Tang won't let me wait until the next life, right?"
"This is the first time I've seen someone like you who is begging to be beaten." Tang Yan had a very venomous mouth, and he could not say anything that others would say, which immediately made Liu Zhi furious.
I wanted to lose my temper again, but suddenly a hearty laughter came out: "Hahaha, thanks to everyone's support today, we gather here to make my city lord's palace shine."
"Where there!"
Seeing City Lord Lin Xiao and his wife walking out, everyone immediately responded with a smile. The tense atmosphere before has completely disappeared.
"Today is my birthday. Thank you all for your compliments. Let's open up the wine and drink. You must have a good time. Let me toast you all first!" Mrs. Lin picked up the wine glass with great grace and drank it up.
"Okay!" Everyone cheered in unison, and they all picked up their wine glasses and chatted happily. The atmosphere was particularly harmonious.
After everyone was seated, Liu He, the head of the Liu family, stood up, cupped his hands to Lin Xiao and his wife and said, "Today Mrs. Lin is celebrating her birthday, and my Liu family would like to give a congratulatory gift, two night pearls from the deep sea! These night pearls are the treasure of my Liu family. If they are placed in the room at night, they will be beautiful." It’s like daylight. And the aura emitted from it can soothe the mind and soothe the soul, and is of great benefit to the body. A mere gift is not disrespectful!"
After saying that, he took the wooden niche that the servant had brought up, opened the lid, and placed two fist-sized beads in it. Even though it was noon, they were emitting a faint light in the hall, and they were extraordinary at first glance.
"Brother Liu is interested." Lin Xiao thanked Liu He with a cupped hand.
"The Qin family gave Mrs. Lin a blue ice sword. It was made by the master swordsmith Lan Jin three hundred years ago. The blade is sharp, and the sword body has a good effect on promoting the true energy, which can improve the combat effectiveness. Zhu Lin Madam, the house is filled with gold and jade, and she is blessed with good fortune and longevity!" The Qin family, Qin Ling, stood up and said.
"The Wu family is giving you a silk vest made from centuries-old ice silkworm silk. It will be warm in winter and cool in summer, so you won't be afraid of the cold or heat!" Wu Bayang of the Wu family stood up and said.
Everyone in the hall was shocked when they heard the gifts from the three major families. Secretly sighing, they are worthy of being one of the four great families, with great wealth.
Every item here is a rare treasure. Many people have only heard of it and have never seen its true appearance. These big families have really spent a lot of money on it.
The gifts given by three of the four major families were so expensive and luxurious, which was eye-opening. Everyone's eyes fell on Mr. Tang at the same time, expecting another big gift from the Tang family.
When Mr. Tang heard the gift from the Liu family, he had a bad feeling in his heart. According to the conditions of the four major families, if it was just to celebrate the birthday of the city lord's wife, the value of such a gift would be far higher than the standard for giving a gift.
And when the Qin family followed closely and took out the same rare treasure, Mr. Tang instantly understood that they had already agreed to give some treasures to make the Tang family look embarrassed.
Sure enough, when the Wu family also took out the treasure, Tang Ling confirmed his suspicion.
He cursed the three beasts in his heart, but he was extremely anxious. Their three major families have already presented gifts, and the Tang family cannot escape.
But he only brought ten first-order high-grade elixirs. Compared with a small family, such a gift was expensive. But compared with the other three major families, it pales in comparison.
Will the city lord feel resentful because the Tang family's gift is too light?
