"By threatening the Shangguan Family with Shangguan Fei's life, we'll force them to join us in dealing with the Ouyang Family."
Zhou Yuan's eyes flashed with a chilling gleam, "I suppose the Shangguan Family's alliance with the Li Family through marriage is also aimed at coveting the Chu Family's assets. If they would take action against the Ouyang Family, we could just watch the clans fight amongst themselves, just like the other noble families!"
Wang Liyun's expression froze, and she soon took in a sharp breath, "If we were to do that, the Chu Family would bear an eternal stigma. Leaving aside whether Shangguan Zhengtu would risk the fate of his entire clan for the sake of a son, even if they agreed, the slightest mishandling of the details could give others a just cause to act against us."
Success would be great, but the risks it entailed were enormous.
After all, how many of the clanic heads were fools?
She finally saw through Zhou Yuan's ambition.
