C1529 The Secret Treasure of the Wu Clan(3)
Fine, he kept saying that he was your grandson-in-law. But he didn't even tell your grandson-in-law the truth. So what if he was so hesitant? Even if you have one, you can't openly rob it! Why are you so nervous!
The more guilty Old Master Wu became, the angrier Fann Binn became. He frowned and said coldly, "Old Master Wu, let me ask you again. Have you really never seen any secret treasures?"
"I said I haven't seen them, but I haven't. Why are you so troublesome?" Old Master Wu also became impatient and said discontentedly, "Let's not talk about this matter anymore. It's your wedding with Wu Qi. Tell me after the date is set, I will arrange a banquet for you. There are so many relatives in Wu family. How can I not drink with my granddaughter's wedding?"
" Hmph, old man, your granddaughter is marrying me. I should be the one who decides the location of the wedding. I can tell you clearly now. If you are hiding something, I will not let Wu Qi and my wedding be held in Wu family! " Fann Binn rejected Old Master Wu's proposal decisively. He wanted Fann Binn to compromise without any conditions? No way! Since you are not sincere, then he will not treat you sincerely!
"What... what did you say? " Old Master Wu guessed that very few people would dare to confront him face to face, so he was immediately angered. However, he immediately calmed down. Don't look at how the entire Wu family used to be like this, he was a man of his word. He was full of dignity, but in front of Fann Binn, was he the patriarch of the Wu family? That was nothing! How could he not understand the recent major events?
In the past, he was able to destroy the seven great families of the eight great families of Jiangnan by himself, and now, he was even able to destroy the Ye family from the capital. The Wang family of Hanghai was destroyed by him, and he wanted to fight him with just his economic power. He was simply not qualified! Therefore, he could only suppress the fury in his heart. After taking a deep breath, he said, "Aren't you deliberately making things difficult for me? Fann Binn, the Wu family really doesn't have any secret treasures. What do I have to say to make you believe me?"
"Believe? I believe! Since the old man said that the Wu family doesn't have any secret treasures, how can I not believe him? Then I'll decide where this wedding will be held. " Fann Binn didn't give Old Master Wu any face and said in a serious manner. " The wedding between Wu Qi and I will be decided by us. There is no need for the old man to worry! "
"Good, good..." Old Master Wu was almost pissed off by Fann Binn's words. His chest heaved up and down violently. The way he looked at Fann Binn became colder and colder. However, he still didn't have the ability and courage to fall out with Fann Binn on the spot. He knew very well that if he fell out with Fann Binn, those who couldn't bear the consequences would... It had to be him.
What did he mean by strong? This was strong! If you have the ability, if you have the ability, others will have no choice but to compromise with you. Old Master Wu really wanted to throw his face at Fann Binn, but he knew that it was useless. He was stubborn. This young man in front of him was even more stubborn than him! Old Master Wu, who had no choice, finally couldn't help but let out a bitter smile and shook his head. " I just realized that after living for a lifetime, my face was ruined by a junior. Truly... "
"I don't want to break the old man's face, but the old man doesn't treat me sincerely, so I naturally won't." Fann Binn quietly looked at Old Master Wu as if he wanted to see through his heart.
In fact, Fann Binn also knew very well why Old Master Wu let Wu Qi hold the wedding in Wu family. It's actually a reputation problem, a face problem. Of course, as the head of the family, it was his granddaughter's wedding. If even the The Wus did not participate, then what kind of standard was that?
Therefore, he had to make Wu Qi marry in the Wu family, even if it was not the first time. It was only to protect the dignity of the Wu family, that was all. It was precisely because of this that Fann Binn was sure that Old Master Wu would compromise. In his eyes, there was nothing more important than the dignity of the Wu family. Using this matter to threaten Old Master Wu was naturally the best solution.
"I really didn't realize that you had already seen through me. Old Master Wu let out a bitter smile helplessly. He had completely lost his temper after being completely suppressed by Fann Binn. After thinking for a while, he finally compromised and sighed deeply. "Alright, I can tell you about the secret treasures of Wu family. But you must promise me that you can't tell anyone. Because, this is the shame of the Wu family... "
Fann Binn's eyes lit up again. He knew that there was a chance when he heard Old Master Wu's words. He nodded excitedly and said, "I promise you, I will never tell anyone else."
Actually, Fann Binn would never tell anyone else because the Tang Sect's secret treasure involved the golden needle at the back of his head. His wives still didn't know until now. This was the only thing he had hidden from them. It was not that Fann Binn did not want to tell them, but it was for their own good.
Regardless of what the golden needle or the Tang Sect's secret treasure were, if he told them, it was better to keep this secret to himself. Therefore, this was also the reason why he avoided Wu Qi and Old Master Wu's private conversation. Even if he really got the secret treasure from Wu family, he would not tell Wu Qi.
Sometimes, knowing too much was not necessarily a good thing for one person.
Seeing Fann Binn's sincere attitude, Old Master Wu took a deep breath and said slowly. "This matter... can be considered the eternal pain of Wu family. You are right. Each of the eight major branches of the Tang Sect has a secret treasure of the Tang Sect. After the division, these secret treasures were carefully kept by each branch. These secret treasures were the inheritance of each branch, so to them... It was the supreme glory, even though they didn't know how to use these secret treasures. Our Wu family also has secret treasures. Those secret treasures are very similar to what you said. It's a green spiritual pill. This matter was when I was almost thirty years old. Father told me about it."
It was true! When Fann Binn heard Old Master Wu's words, he immediately smiled excitedly. " Old Master Wu, the secret treasure is just an honor for you in the past. However, it has other uses for me. Can you give me the secret treasure? I will try my best to satisfy whatever you want."
Old Master Wu looked deeply at Fann Binn. Suddenly, he shook his head with a bitter and helpless expression, "I can't give it to you because... the secret treasure is no longer in Wu family."
"What did you say? Not in Wu family?" Fann Binn looked at Old Master Wu in surprise. Suddenly, he seemed to have realized something and spoke urgently. “ What do you mean? How is that possible! "
" Listen to me. " Old Master Wu saw Fann Binn's anxious expression and calmly recalled. "The Wu family has been through hundreds of years of ups and downs, and has always stood tall. It's all thanks to my ancestors' hard work. You probably don't know that the Wu family is such a prosperous and powerful family. Right? "
Fann Binn looked at Old Master Wu doubtfully and nodded. " This is something that I have been curious about since a long time ago. Logically speaking, a medical family like the Wu family would not only give birth to a single child like you. In that era, which family didn't have a few children? Unless your mother can't give birth to you after giving birth to you."
" Yes, in fact, many people would be curious and suspect this question. I have always used the single lineage as an excuse to tell the public that the core bloodline of the Wu family can only be inherited by myself. But in fact, no one knows that I originally... had two younger brothers and a younger sister. "
As if it was a long time ago, Old Master Wu's expression became even more intense as he recalled the past. His eyes flickered with grief and helplessness. "My parents gave birth to a total of four children. I am the eldest son, and the first one to be sensible among the younger generation of the Wu family. My two younger brothers are three years younger than me, and my younger brother is four years younger. Our childhood family is very happy, but unfortunately, although we are from the medicine family in Jiangnan, however, as doctors, the most terrible thing about us was our own illness."
"My sister died when she was ten years old due to child paralysis, and my mother seemed to have suffered a blow. She passed away when I was twenty-five. After that, my father and I raised my two younger brothers, but my father also left because of bronchitis. In other words, when I was 30 years old, I truly became the head of the Wu family."
" Two younger brothers... " Fann Binn didn't understand why Old Master Wu told him about the family matters, but he still asked curiously, "How are these two younger brothers now? Where are they?"
"Sigh... I am the eldest son of the Wu family. It is inevitable that I will become the head of the family. There is no doubt about it. However, my two younger brothers are dissatisfied with my father's decision. Because in terms of medical skills, I am not a match for them. But my father still entrusted the Wu family to me before he passed away. What he took a fancy to is my management ability. Not my medical skills."
"However, my two younger brothers didn't understand such an outcome, so they repeatedly tried to snatch the position of the family head away from me. Because they are my younger brothers, while ruining their plans, I didn't even think about how to punish them. " Old Master Wu said with a bitter smile, "But they still attacked me even more fiercely. They even tried to rope in the other relatives of Wu family to threaten me."
Fann Binn had never thought that there would be a scene where his brothers would fight for the position of the patriarch in the Wu family. He couldn't help but feel pity for Old Master Wu. In the feudal era, if nothing unexpected happened... It was the eldest son who inherited the wealth and power of his father. This was unquestionable.
However, Old Master Wu's two younger brothers thought that their medical skills were brilliant and wanted to snatch the position of the family head. This was indeed not right. It seemed that the greed in power had already made them completely lose their familial love and rationality.
