Chapter 4: Marrying Three at Once

  (New book uploaded, book friends, let's raise it first and kill it when it's fat!)

  "Master, the old master wants you to go in. Ah Wei, you stay outside and wait for Master, the old master has something to entrust to him!" Housekeeper Wang Quan walked out of Wang Xiao's study and said to Wang Yuze and Wang Wei.

  "Alright, Uncle Wang!" Wang Yuze nodded and took a deep breath before pushing open the door to enter Wang Xiao's office. This was his first time seeing his cheap old dad since his rebirth, who was also the renowned Governor of Western Sichuan, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command. How could he not be excited?

  Upon entering the office, what catches the eye is a large bookcase filled with various materials. The interior decoration of the office is very simple, except for a mahogany desk, a tea table and two sets of sofas, leaving only some green plants. It's hard to imagine that the office of one of China's most powerful men, the Sichuan-Xikang Circuit Intendant, would be so humble.

  "Father!" Wang Yuze came to Wang Xiao's desk and called out softly.

  At this time, Wang Xiao finally raised his head. Instantly, Wang Yuze felt that Wang Xiao's deep eyes could see through people's hearts, as if all the secrets in his heart were exposed to Wang Xiao. Fortunately, Wang Yuze was also a seasoned person, and this little problem couldn't stop him. He calmly faced Wang Xiao's sharp gaze, looking very natural, without any pretence. He knew that in front of a strong man like Wang Xiao, any disguise might have the opposite effect, so it was better to treat Wang Xiao just like an ordinary son would treat his father.

  Seeing Wang Xiao's seemingly sickly pale face, as well as that wrinkled face like an old tree bark, Wang Yuze felt deeply moved. This was his father, the 60-year-old Governor of Sichuan, right? How could he be so old? Was it all because he had exhausted himself for the development of the three provinces in western Sichuan over the years?

  "Yu Ze, is your injury okay? Does your head still hurt?" Wang Xiao asked with a gentle and loving tone.

  "Dad, I'm completely fine now. Dr. Schmidt has also given me a thorough examination and all my physical indicators are perfectly normal!" Wang Yuze replied.

  "Hmm! That's good! You sit down, I have something to discuss with you today!" Wang Xiao pointed to the sofa beside the desk.

  "Alright, Father!" Wang Yuze sat on the sofa, his back straight and his eyes fixed forward.

  "You were assassinated this time, and the Military Intelligence Bureau has investigated that it was done by the Japanese! Yesterday, the Military Intelligence Bureau had already made arrests, and more than 100 people have been caught. These people are mostly spies set up by Japan's special agencies in the three provinces of Sichuan over the years. Except for those who are particularly useful, I have ordered to execute all of them!" Wang Xiao said slowly, as if he had killed a hundred pigs, his expression did not fluctuate at all.

  "Those Japanese are too outrageous, we should drive them out of the three provinces of Sichuan!" Wang Yuezhe said with hatred. With his past experiences, he naturally had no good feelings towards Japan. The 30 million compatriots who died in the Anti-Japanese War made China and Japan have an irreconcilable blood feud. Wang Yuezhe suddenly thought that it was only 1890 now, and the Anti-Japanese War had not started yet, but the First Sino-Japanese War would start in four years. If he worked hard, maybe he could let the Chinese nation avoid this disaster. Japan, after the Meiji Restoration, had rapidly developed as a country, and their ambition was also rising, always thinking about biting off a piece of fat from the rotten Qing dynasty. Suddenly, his heart was burning with passion, to defeat the Japanese devils and make China avoid invasion became his top priority. However, to achieve this goal, he still had a long way to go. The three provinces of Sichuan alone were not enough to be Japan's opponent, they had to defeat the Qing court first and unify the country.

  "That's right! All Japanese should be killed! Yu Ze, remember. If one day you have the ability, you must kill all those beasts!" Wang Xiao's eyes were also filled with murderous intent.

  "Yes, Father, I understand!" Wang Yuze nodded repeatedly.

  "Yu Ze, I know you're naturally timid, and putting the heavy burden of Sichuan's three western provinces on your shoulders is indeed a difficult task for you. If heaven could give me another twenty years, or even ten years, it wouldn't be so hard." Wang Xiao sighed.

  Wang Yuze's heart tightened, and he felt that something was off about this. Could it be that Wang Xiao was already in a precarious state? But if anything were to happen to Wang Xiao, how would he be able to control those big shots in the military, and wouldn't the entire three provinces of Sichuan necessarily fall apart?

  "Dad, is your body all right?" Wang Yuze asked somewhat anxiously.

  "Old Mao is ill, but he should still be able to hold on for a few more years! Yu Ze, your time is running out. If you can't control the situation in the three provinces within this period of time, then get out of the country! My overseas business has already secured a life of comfort and security for you!" Wang Xiao waved his hand and said.

  Wang Yuze couldn't help but feel a pang in his nose, pitying the parents of the world. Wang Xiao, who knew his character, had already arranged everything for him. However, he was no longer the same person as before. Since he had come to this world, how could he not make something of himself? "Father, don't worry, I won't disappoint you!" Wang Yuze said firmly.

  "Alright, alright! You have this intention, I'm satisfied." Upon hearing Wang Yuze say this, Wang Xiao's heart was greatly comforted, his pale face filled with smiles, looking extremely delighted.

  "By the way, Father. Just now Uncle Xiong and Uncle Cai left. Uncle Xiong seems to be a bit dissatisfied with me!" Wang Yuez said.

  "It's okay, Old Bear is just that kind of person, just pretend you didn't see it. Old Bear only has one precious daughter, let him marry his daughter to you, he will certainly be unhappy. However, since I've put on this old face, how can he refuse?" Wang Xiao said with a smile.

  "Ah! Father, do I really have to get married so soon? I'm only 18 years old this year!" Wang Yuze was stunned. Although he had been reborn twice, he didn't even have a girlfriend, let alone getting married. Moreover, it was with someone he wasn't familiar with, which made him feel caught off guard.

  "Yu Ze, you're already 18 and not young anymore. Look at those ordinary people, many of their children are already working on the streets at the age of 18. Besides, I've met Meng Huan, that girl is knowledgeable, polite, gentle and kind, she's a perfect match for you. Lao Xiong is my old brother, over the years we've been supporting each other, which has led to the current situation in the three provinces of Sichuan. Unfortunately, Lao Xiong doesn't have a son, otherwise he would be a great help to you!" Wang Xiao said.

  Wang Yuze nodded, understanding the underlying meaning of Wang Xiao's words. He was still too young and had no prestige in the military. If he had the support of Xiong Wu, he would undoubtedly gain the support of the military, which would be a great help to him in controlling the three provinces of western Sichuan. Moreover, Xiong Wu had no son, only a daughter, and if Wang Yuze married his daughter, wouldn't he wholeheartedly support Wang Yuze? It had to be said that Wang Xiao's move was very high-level, easily binding Xiong Wu to their family's chariot.

  Although he had some aversion to arranged marriages, Wang Yuezhe also knew that this was an unavoidable thing. Moreover, this matter was very beneficial to him, and Xiong Menghuan was a rare beauty, what was there for him to be dissatisfied with?

  "Besides, your uncle Yang's daughter Yang Shilan and Uncle Zhou's daughter Zhou Rui are also good, so I'm thickening my old face to propose to you this time. Why don't you just marry them both at once!" Wang Xiao continued.

  "Ah!" Wang Yuze was shocked, his mouth wide open. He was completely thunderstruck. He had never thought that he would have to marry three women at once, and this made him, a good child born in New China and raised under the red flag, unable to accept it.

  Yang Shilan and Zhou Rui, these two girls he also knew, Yang Shilan was one year younger than him, Zhou Rui was two years younger than him, both were rare beauties, but did not think that this time they would also be married together.

  However, Wang Yuze soon found out why Wang Xiao would do such a thing. Yang Shilan's father, Yang Hua, is the current governor of Sichuan Province, and Sichuan Province is also the most important one among the three provinces in western China. With Yang Hua's support, he will undoubtedly get enough support from the government. As for Zhou Xue's father, his name is Zhou Rongxuan, who has been abroad for many years, managing the Wang family's vast overseas industries. Although the ownership of those industries belongs to the Wang family, they have been managed by Zhou Rongxuan for over a decade. Marrying Zhou Xue would be very helpful to him economically in the future.
