Chapter 463: Unstable Soul

Meanwhile, Helian Wei Wei who had no idea about the Third Prince’s plan of giving her roses was sweeping across the crowd with her cold and sharp eyes in the mansion.

The stewards were smart enough to know that Helian Guang Yao had lost his power as they stood up one by one to shout of the existence of the Helian family’s successor bringing prosperity to the clan!

Helian Wei Wei did not buy it, she knew clearly that while these people could be used, they could never be trusted. Thus, she sat on the main seat with a faint smile as she said, “I’m sure you all know that I’ve never participated in a Clan Meeting before, so I don’t know much about family matters…”

One of them started to express his loyalty before Helian Wei Wei could even finish her words, “Eldest Young Lady, you can rest assured about that with us around, everything will be fine.”

“Yes, yes, you are right! Eldest Young Lady, you have nothing to worry about with us around!” Another person spoke up.

Helian Wei Wei glanced at the two stewards, the smile on her face unwavering. “Well then, I need all of you to report what property you were all in charge of.”

Upon hearing Helian Wei Wei’s words, the smile on most of the stewards’ faces stiffened. They would never have thought that a little brat like her would casually assume authority over them as soon as she stepped into power!

Reporting their property would be no different from disclosing their details and secrets!

The stewards looked at each other in utter regret of continuing Helian Wei Wei’s words.

However, as if she had planned everything ahead, Helian Wei Wei ordered the servants standing beside her, “Distribute paper and pens to all the stewards so that they don’t miss anything.”

This would mean that it was impossible for them to fool her!

The stewards gritted their teeth and kept their regret to themselves. They really should not have chosen such a demon to be the patriarch out of greed!

Helian Wei Wei might have looked laid back and harmless, but in actual fact, there was something wrong with her that they could not pinpoint and that kept them on their toes.

Yet, even so, they would not agree with anything that would jeopardize their interests!

“Eldest Young Lady!” A steward with a big belly and fleshy face stood up immediately, “How do you expect us to work if you restrain us like this?”

Helian Wei Wei’s smile did not reach her eyes. “Restrain? I just wanted to know the usual things you all do. How is that considered restraint?”

“You’re making us write down our property, isn’t that restraining us?” The steward said agitatedly.

The crowd below then began to show signs of restlessness and unsettledness.

Helian Wei Wei put down the teacup in her hands leisurely. “Da Xiong, Lao Ying, show Steward Wang my work ethic.”

The crowd had not managed to understand the meaning behind her words.

Then, they heard a snap.

Two men had appeared behind Steward Wang.

Each of them was holding a weapon-like long pipe as tall as a man and the sight of them alone was enough to invoke fear.

“Let him have it.”

Simple words came from her mouth.

Instantly, Steward Wang was kicked to a distance of one meter away by one of the men.

The stewards who had wanted to revolt froze in their places and looked at Helian Wei Wei with different thoughts running through their minds respectively.

Helian Wei Wei said with a smile, “I really hate violence and killing unless I’ve been pushed too far, so please, gentlemen, I hope you’re all understanding of the situation.”

The stewards paused and went back to their seats respectively.

How could they have forgotten that the hidden army had already acknowledged her as their master!

From now on, they had to think about the life-threatening consequences they would have to face before they wanted to do something.

At that moment, for no reason at all, it was as if the people could see the elderly figure who had leaned on the dragon-headed cane in his hand while giving orders in Helian Wei Wei!

Cold sweat covered their forehead as pressure and the feeling of guilt welled up. After all, most of them had failed Old Master Helian who had nurtured and trained them.

At this point, they came to realize why the hidden army was here.

Helian Wei Wei was displaying her authority!

She was telling them to toe the line, or else, their life would be in danger!

The henchman who had served Helian Guang Yao before had his whole back drenched in cold sweat as he trembled while writing down the property he managed on the piece of paper.

Looking at the paper collected, Helian Wei Wei tapped the table twice in satisfaction and said politely, “Good, I believe that the Helian family will grow into a better future with your cooperation.”

“It’s all thanks to Eldest Young Lady’s wisdom.” The stewards forced smiles on their faces as they suffered in silence.

Helian Wei Wei took a glance at Da Xiong and the others as she uttered faintly, “You can keep the guns now.”

Snap!

With just another sound of the guns, the stewards were frightened to death, even though they were still unwilling to submit.

Even if Helian Wei Wei had become the patriarch, she had no rank or achievement in the imperial court.

As a new patriarch without rank or achievement, she was required to prove herself within one month with results to show for.

Otherwise, she would be dismissed from her right as patriarch.

If she crossed any boundaries, someone would naturally come for her when the time came.

They were patient enough to behave themselves for the time being. It would suffice to just wait and watch how things would unfold.

Some day, Helian Wei Wei would have to kiss up to them.

After all, she was still too young and impulsive. She would not go far even with the hidden army on her side…

“These people will not give in to you.” As Chi Yan watched the stewards leaving respectfully with his gleaming eyes.

Resting her face languidly on her hand, Helian Wei Wei flipped through the family rulebook that had been passed down and grinned maliciously, “They think I won’t be able to make it through the month without any rank or achievement. It looks like I have to find a way to become an imperial official.”

Chi Yan smoldering eyes glanced at her face, his intense gaze finally falling on her neck.

Thinking that there was something on her neck again, Helian Wei Wei subconsciously covered it with her hand.

Then, Chi Yan said vaguely, “You’ve really changed.”

Helian Wei Wei thought that it was an unsafe topic to discuss. Chi Yan was smart and very loyal to Old Master Helian, the consequences would be uncontrollable if he found out that she was not the real Helian Wei Wei.

“People change.” Helian Wei Wei tried to maneuver her way out of this topic.

However, Chi Yan suddenly dropped a conversational bomb indifferently, “Is that why you’ve forgotten how you used to take a liking to me?”

Who? Take a liking to who?

Helian Wei Wei was stunned. Didn’t the old Helian Wei Wei only want to marry Murong Changfeng and no one else?

“It seems like you’ve really forgotten about it,” Chi Yan said slowly after taking a sip of his tea, “However, I’ve saved you twice before you found the hidden army. Once during the Flower Appreciation Festival where you were nearly molested by someone…”

Listening to his words, Helian Wei Wei’s soul wavered violently as images flashed through her mind where she had stood under a flowering Banyan tree watching the leaving silhouette of someone with her heart in pain…
