Chapter 60 - Marshal Has an Heir (2/2)

Ren Tianzong did not say anything at all subsequently. At this point, his raised bowl had yet to be put down. He watched Ren Jie drink and heard him say he was leaving, but Ren Tianzong was dazed for a long time.

Ren Jie did not say much, but he had explained everything clearly.

Ren Tianzong really wanted to let out a long wail at the top of his voice. Big brother has an heir, the Ren family absolutely will not decline after its prime.

It turned out this rascal knew very well everything he was doing. He appeared to be a dandy and arrogant, but behind his unbridled behavior, he understood what he was doing.

It was sufficient, it was sufficient.

Ren Tianzong’s tears welled in his eyes. Then, he drank all of his wine in one mouthful and felt a lightheartedness he hadn’t felt in years.

Originally, he was worried about Ren Jie’s thoughtlessness. After all, the fight between the five big family clans was unpredictable. When they fought with a family clan, they had to take into consideration the three others. And more importantly, the royal family. Now it seemed that he didn’t need to worry at all. Ren Jie was very thorough in his consideration of everything.

“Marshal has an heir. I’d said, Marshal’s son cannot be that hopeless. I see… I see…” Just then, a person walked out of the other side of the forest. It was the stout Zhan Tianlong, Great General Zhan, in full armor.

At present, although Zhan Tianlong was fully armored, his voice was slightly choked up.

“Haha… yes, yes. This rascal fooled all of us. Originally, even I lost confidence in him. I never thought…” Ren Tianzong laughed with tears in his eyes. Ren Jie had surprised him enough the last time, but after today, he was really at ease.

“I was still not too convinced when you told me in the past. Now, I truly believe it. In the future, even if he wants to burn down the Ren mansion, we’ll add firewood for him. Even if he wants to beat up a prince, we’ll hold the prince down for him. Haha…” Zhan Tianlong sat down as he laughed. Picking up the bowl that Ren Jie had filled with wine not long ago, he downed it in one go too.

With regard to Zhan Tianlong, Ren Tianzong did not hide anything from him. Zhan Tianlong was also one of the very few people who could come into his space. Zhan Tianlong was in a really high position now, but he did not have actual power. His several requests to the emperor to go to battle had been rejected. He felt extremely depressed in recent years and often visited Ren Tianzong.

When Ren Tianzong told him that Ren Jie wasn’t truly foppish, he refused to believe it. Earlier, he had arrived slightly before Ren Jie. He’d found it hard to understand why Ren Tianzong was so indulgent of Ren Jie and even took the blame for his nonsense of poisoning others and the other incidents.

However, Ren Jie’s words just now left him startled and surprised. It turned out that everything had been intentional. It could be said that everything before was a cushion, using this opportunity to gather the support of a group of people and expanding his influence as the family head was the real deal. Moreover, it left no trace. To others, this still looked like he was messing around and even needed Ren Tianzong to clean up the mess.

If other people were worried, they would only be worried about Ren Tianzong, not much attention would be given to him. This was a hundred, thousand times more efficient than doing something furtively. Because, given his status and situation, regardless of how sneaky he was, it would be difficult to hide it from others.

Overt scheme, an absolute overt scheme. Upfront and publicly gathering support, publicly spreading the name of Ren Family Head. He simply wanted to be imposing, ferocious, to beat someone up…

If Ren Jie hadn’t said it personally, who would’ve thought of it? Even if they’d more or less guessed it, they would think it was an inner conflict within the Ren family, of Ren Tianzong behind him. No one would have guessed that everything had been Ren Jie’s doing.

Great, great, haha…

Ren Tianzong and Zhan Tianlong found it ingenious the more they thought about it. The two didn’t say much, they just savored the moment and what Ren Jie said earlier. If the conversation were to be mentioned, the most they said was, “Good, great, big brother has an heir now” and “Marshal has an heir now”.

Just like two people muttering to themselves, in the end, they suddenly felt really happy and agitated. Then, drink with one bowl for you, one bowl for me. Unconsciously, without needing any side dishes, the two were already dead drunk.
