Zhang Kai has just recovered, after a few days of rest. He was grateful that the elder fan gave him a place and time to rest. Only he viewed him as an equal, not as a slave or servant.

"The scars are pretty good too" Zhang Kai looked satisfied, looking at his body full of whip wounds all over his body. To him, scars were the history and journey of life.

Although he had to cover them up, so as not to scare the children. Feeling that his body had fully recovered, Zhang Kai immediately changed his clothes and prepared to meet the fan elders.

The clothes given to him were also different, compared to the ones given to him by the third elder. The material was very soft and comfortable, and the room was very spacious.

The room was inside the elder fan's residence, he did not make or order his servants to sleep in the dormitory that had been provided. Zhang Kai truly felt that Elder Fan was very kind, despite his stern look.

After finishing dressing, Zhang Kai went out. But before that, he stretched his body that had been stiff for a long time. "How delicious" The sound of his bones was very pleasant to hear.

"If I'm not mistaken, I have to go straight to the study." Before he rested, Zhang Kai had only one order, which was to come to the study.

The problem was, Zhang Kai did not know where his office was. He was at a loss as to whom to ask, the fan elder did not have many servants and the residence was quite large.

Zhang Kai decided to wander around, looking around, if there was someone he would ask. After wandering around, Zhang Kai finally saw a servant sweeping the garden.

"You go straight, the room is right in the center with a plaque in front of it" said the servant, Zhang Kai nodded his thanks and immediately walked there.

Zhang Kai followed his direction, he saw the room in question. "Sir, it's me, the servant you took from prison" Zhang Kai didn't know if the elder fan still remembered him or not, so he explained at some length.

"Come in." After receiving permission, Zhang Kai immediately went in and saw Elder Fan. There was someone in front of him, as soon as he turned his head, it was Bai lan who was chatting.

"Ohhh, uncle has taken it" Bai lan said looking at his uncle, Elder Fan just smiled.

"I told you, he's useless if he's your subordinate." Elder Fan explained clearly.

"Yes, I know, you seem to be healthy. I'm sorry for taking you out so late, you seem to have changed a bit" Bai lan said as he looked him up and down.

"Of course you're late, you're about to get engaged" Elder Fan joked to his nephew, Zhang Kai was surprised.

"You got engaged to that woman yesterday, sir!" Zhang Kai was surprised, Bai lan nodded.

"It's thanks to you too, later come with me to the public auction. You can choose one item there, as my gratitude" Bai lan said.

Zhang Kai sensed that Bai lan had changed since they met. He had become calmer and less arrogant, meeting An Rui might have changed him.

"Thank you, sir, and congratulations on the engagement." Zhang Kai said with a bow, he was happy to hear the news.

"I'm not engaged yet, but I will be. That's why I need help finding a gift, can I borrow uncle?" Bai lan asked the elder fan.

"Just ask the person, he's not an item" Zhang Kai was touched to hear it, Elder Fan was really different from Bai lan. "I'll come, I'll choose the best one" Zhang Kai said seriously.

"Good good, then get ready tomorrow" Bai lan said, he then said goodbye to his uncle.

After leaving, Elder Fan looked at him. "Seeing as you have another job, just clean up this room. Before working properly later" said elder fan, Zhang Kai nodded.

Finally, Zhang Kai picked up the tools and cleaned up Elder Fan's room. Surprisingly, Elder Fan did not leave, even though there was quite a lot of dust flying around.

The news of the engagement, between the Bai family and the city lord's daughter. Shocking the entire plum wind city, many high-class families were looking for the Bai family.

note : Sorry, I wrote the name of the city wrong. The name of the city should be wind plum city and the name of the empire is silver river empire. Please forgive this mistake.

The reason is, this news is too sudden. The day after the party, this announcement was immediately publicized and made a commotion in many places.

This commotion also occurred in the Bai family, to be precise, the first and fourth elders. At this moment, they were even more shocked and confused. How did the two meet and get to know each other.

But there was one person who was extremely frightened, his face very pale and panicked. He was Qian he, as soon as he found out who the woman was, his face was as pale as a corpse.

He did not expect the woman he accused of being poor. It turned out to be the most influential person in the city, if he knew he would not accuse him like that. Even if he has 10 lives, he will be executed on the spot.

He even got permission, because he was too scared to go out. He was worried that if someone found out that he accused Princess An Rui, and reported him, his life would not be saved.

Not to mention, if this engagement succeeds. All the servants under the third elder, whom he had bullied. They would definitely take revenge, especially Zhang Kai who he continued to torment.

His position would change, once the engagement took place. Even his mother threw him out, once the news came to her, he was completely alone.

This fear didn't happen to Qian He either, but the fourth elder and Bai San as well. They initially didn't believe that the news was genuine, until everyone was talking about it.

Bai San was so angry, he destroyed his entire room. He had failed to get the position of chairman, his emotions were overwhelming and unbearable.

He had sweated a lot, just for the position. Of course she was angry that her coveted position would be taken away just because of this engagement.

He also did not expect that the woman was the daughter of the city ruler. If he had known, he would have distanced the two of them, so that they would never have contact with each other.

"ARGHHHH!!, Why do I keep failing!!!" He threw a chair against the wall. for the past few days the residence had been very noisy for him.

His father also added to his anger, having failed to make him proud. He even insulted him as a failure, making Bai san very hurt.

In fact, Bai San was willing to not play and focus on studying. But instead it ended up like this, it was annoying and sickening.

As someone knocked on the door of he room, Bai San stopped what he was doing. "Who!" he asked while shouting.

"Dad wants to talk" Bai San frowned, he opened the door and looked at him coldly.

Seeing his son's room, made him regret and disappointed. Instead of thinking, he vented his anger in this way.

"What do you want from this child" Bai San asked with a mocking smile, his father sighed.

"Look, do you still have ambitions to become chairman" asked his father seriously, Bai San frowned.

"Of course!!, So what" Bai San is the most ambitious person to get the position of chairman, he is willing to kill his brother though.

"Good, dad has a plan" he said, Bai San looked at his father. "What kind of plan" Bai San couldn't think of his father's plan, his mind was not clear.

"Follow dad, we're chatting in a quieter place" he said, Bai San who was curious about the plan, then followed his father.

"What kind of plan is dad preparing?" he thought with confusion.

When they were in his father's study, Bai San immediately sat down. "You know yourself, if the third elder manages to rise to the position what the consequences will be" said his father coldly.

During this time, the war between the third and fourth elders was bigger. Compared to the first elder, because both elders have almost the same strength.

If one of them managed to be stronger, his family's life would be greatly suppressed. Hence, the fourth elder had to stop this engagement at all costs.

"Of course I know, then what is father's plan" Bai San asked curiously.

"It's easy, we separate the two" said his father, but Bai San didn't understand what he meant.

"There are two ways to separate the two, one is the safe way or the hard way" said his father.

"Explain both, so that I understand the plan that you prepared" Bai San was really annoyed, his father spoke mysteriously.

"The safe way, we kidnap An Rui and take her hostage" said his father, immediately Bai San was stunned to hear it.

"What, that's impossible dad. How can we kidnap her!" Bai San was shocked, so he spoke in a high tone.

"Nothing is impossible. But if you want the hard way, then we have to do it carefully" her father said with a big smile.

"What is the plan like" Bai San was curious, then his father began to explain the plan. Bai San immediately stiffened when he heard the other plan.

"Alright, the first way" said his father with a big smile.

Meanwhile, in a place full of luxury goods. Everyone was busy arranging chairs that numbered in the hundreds, all the chairs were very nice and fragrant.

A man was giving orders to everyone, he looked very dizzy organizing everything. "Boss, everything is ready" said someone from next to him.

"The cursed ring has also been polished, right?" asked the man, the person next to him nodded.

"Good, I'm frustrated because of that damn ring. If anyone bids 1 silver, we'll sell it. I don't want that ring in our auction house anymore" said the man irritably.

There was a ring that never sold, after several years. I don't know what the reason was, but no one bid on it, and everyone who held it must have gotten sick and experienced strange events.
