BXBX NOVEL Chapter 98: 84: The Chen Family? The Ever-Growing Power of Buddhism!_3
He quickly made his way in the direction of the Luo Family Ancestral Land.
…
The matter with the monks, though irksome to many,
was, by a small margin, still under control.
In addition, the origins of those monks were simply too mysterious.
And the King of Huai Shui, the Tang Family, and the Chen Family,
seemed to have yet to take action against these monks.
Therefore, the Luo Family did not choose to be the ones to stick their necks out and deal with the monks’ issue first.
“Family Head, Family Head…”
“There’s been an incident.”
In Qingshi Town, inside the room where the Luo Family Patriarch dealt with official business in the Luo Family Ancestral Land,
Luo Ping was sitting in his usual place at the head, just as he always did,
dealing with the mountainous pile of official business on the desk.
But before he had dealt with much,
a gray-clothed Luo Family servant hurriedly scurried into the room.
“What is so urgent?”
Seeing the gray-clothed servant in front of him, Luo Ping’s brows slightly furrowed, a look of displeasure emerging on his face.
Such panic, what kind of example was this setting?
Moreover, in the small world of Qingshi Town, what big incident could there possibly be?
“A father and daughter are blocking our door outside the clan’s land.”
“And quite a crowd of townspeople has already gathered.”
“Blocking the door?” Hearing this, Luo Ping immediately stood up, “What is the reason for blocking the door, is there a cause?”
“It seems like…”
“It seems that Young Master Luo Yao impregnated the girl outside and now she’s three months along, but Young Master Luo Yao refuses to recognize the girl…”
…
The words of the gray-clothed servant clearly entered Luo Ping’s ears.
And as the incumbent Family Head of the Luo Family,
upon hearing this, he couldn’t help but be slightly stunned.
“Luo Yao? Fathering a child and abandoning the mother?”
“What is all this mess?”
After a light sigh, Luo Ping reluctantly had no choice but to first call his second brother, Luo An.
After all, Luo Yao was Luo An’s second son.
As for Luo An’s eldest son, he was Luo Yang, who spent his days researching Elixirs to increase virility, hoping to strike it rich by selling them.
“Family Head, what is it you have summoned me for?”
Upon arriving in the room, Luo An spoke impatiently.
There were an extensive number of businesses within the Family Clan waiting for him to handle.
He did not have that much free time.
“Tell my second brother in detail…”
Luo Ping glanced at the gray-clothed servant in front of him and then spoke in a low voice.
And as the servant painstakingly repeated the matter concerning Luo Yao,
Luo An, standing silently in the room, gradually grew more and more upset, and rage began to flare in his eyes.
“That damn kid, I’ll break his legs…”
Having said that, Luo An turned his head and headed straight for the door.
…
If what the father and daughter outside the clan’s land said was true,
The woman was also carrying Luo Yao’s child.
So naturally, that father-daughter pair needed to be properly taken care of.
As for the Luo Family nowadays, don’t even mention raising two extra mouths.
Even if there were another two thousand, or even twenty thousand people, they could easily afford it.
And what about Luo Yao?
When Luo An sent people out to find him,
that rascal was still frolicking in high-end brothels, seeking pleasure among the flowers and willows.
It wasn’t until Luo Yao was forcefully carried back to the Luo Family by the servants that he still seemed a bit confused.
…
Breaking legs and such was naturally a joke.
But a brutal beating was inevitable.
So, after Luo An vehemently whipped Luo Yao,
Luo Yao confessed everything.
Luo An had thought that the existence of that father-daughter pair was already the limit.
However, what he didn’t expect was,
this rascal had even kept a dozen or so concubines in Qingshi Town,
and among them, roughly a third were already carrying Luo Yao’s children.
As for that father-daughter pair,
it was because Luo Yao had carelessly neglected to manage the situation, leading to this.
Otherwise, these matters wouldn’t have come to his father Luo An’s knowledge so easily.
…
“You’ve got some nerve, boy!”
“Directly keeping a dozen or so concubines outside?”
“Damn it, even I, your father, only have one, and I’m not as extravagant as you.”
Inside a room within the Luo Family Ancestral Land, with its doors tightly shut,
Luo An pointed at his son Luo Yao in front of him.
He was feeling a mix of anger and helplessness as he spoke.
“Dad, what should we do next…?”
Luo Yao asked cautiously.
“What should we do?” Hearing this, Luo An grew even angrier, “You still have the nerve to ask me what should we do?”
“Naturally, you will bring all those concubines back home.”
“What’s the point of keeping them outside?”
“And another thing, from now on you’ll work with your old man in managing the family’s businesses.”
“Take responsibility for your own women.”
“Don’t always think about asking your dad for money.”
Upon hearing these words, Luo Yao couldn’t help but show a bitter face, pleading, “Dad, Dad, please don’t, you can’t do this to me…”
“You, you can’t treat me like this…”
“Elder brother, isn’t he always idling around too?”
“Why are you only picking on me, and not on elder brother?”
“Do you even have the face to say that?” Luo An looked at his less impressive son Luo Yao, who was kneeling on the ground and clinging to his trouser leg, and said coldly, “Your elder brother, although he hasn’t done anything proper, his passion for and research on Elixirs is real.”
“What about you? Besides wandering around flowers and willows all day, what else can you do?”
“Alright, that’s settled.”
After finishing his words, Luo An pushed open the tightly shut door and left the room.
Of course, this was because Luo An was unaware of what exactly Luo Yang was researching in terms of Elixirs.
If he had known that his eldest son Luo Yang was spending all his time researching some sort of aphrodisiac Elixir…
He probably really would be so angry that smoke came out of his seven orifices.
