Chapter 1230

Zhu Yanyi shook her head slightly. "You don't need to step in. Let the local clans bite each other. The good ones will stay; the bad ones will be replaced. It is better for them to watch each other now. It is easier for us."

Even though Zhu Yanyi did not understand complex struggles, she understood this logic.

"How do you plan to make them act?" Yan Aohan asked, testing her. He agreed with her idea in his heart. "Those clans have old foxes guarding them."

Zhu Yanyi smiled. "It is simple. I will tell my senior brother. She knows people in those clans and saved them before. I don't need to appear. My senior brother just needs to speak vaguely. It will make those clans imagine many things."

"Imagine?" Zhu Shun Yao did not understand this word.

Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows. She realized this word did not exist yet. She explained seriously, "It means thinking wildly. Guessing things that are not true. People will imagine whatever they want, depending on how big their imagination is."

Zhu Shun Yao stared at her serious face, feeling stunned.

Yan Aohan nodded in agreement. "Yes. I can also create a false sense of reality. If the Zhu family people from the city are well-behaved and just here to play, I will not bother them. But if they cause trouble, then… sorry."

Yan Aohan did not like the Zhu family from the city. If Zhu Yanyi liked them, he might tolerate them. But since he had no goodwill toward them, he did not care. Whether they could stand firm in the capital depended on his mood.

Hearing this, Zhu Shun Yao felt pity for the city Zhu family. Why did they have to disturb them? Now his daughter was going to act. It would definitely not be good news for them.

Unfortunately, the city Zhu family did not know this. Because they did not know, they came to knock on the door. When Zhu Shun Yao saw the people at the door, his face darkened.

Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan noticed Zhu Shun Yao went to open the door but did not return. They hurried over and saw two unfamiliar middle-aged men.

Zhu Yanyi frowned slightly and walked to Zhu Shun Yao’s side. "Dad, are they your friends?"

"No," Zhu Shun Yao said calmly. "They are just people from the Zhu family."

Speak of the devil, and the devil appears. It showed one should not speak well of others behind their backs.

Zhu Yanyi shook her head slightly and looked at the Zhu family members. The two middle-aged men looked energetic. They did not look like schemers. But Zhu Yanyi was not naive. Such people were the most dangerous. Villains were not scary; hypocrites were. One could guard against villains, but hypocrites could stab you in the back. Many capable people died at the hands of hypocrites.

"This is Shun Yao’s child? Is it the eldest or the second?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yanyi knew that Zhu Shun Yao had protected her and Zhu Yan Li very well. They had never met these people before.
