Chapter 394: Lost the Wife and Lost the Troops
Wen Lan and Wen Song both revealed looks of eager anticipation.
To take control of Donglin City, the Wen Family had made enormous sacrifices, but as long as they succeeded, everything would be worthwhile. Once they crushed the Jing Family, the Wen Family would greatly benefit from the resources produced in the region of Donglin City. After decades or even a century of management, they would be able to recoup the costs of this endeavor.
"Wen Clan Leader, I have already decided on the candidate for Donglin City Lord—it will be Jing Tianying, an elder of the Jing Family," Zhou Shangyun said, his gaze landing on the two men as he spoke slowly.
"Buzz!" The smile at the corner of Wen Lan’s mouth instantly froze.
In his mind, there was a loud bang, and everything went blank.
What did that mean?
What was going on here?
Hadn’t it been agreed upon, pretty much confirmed, that it would be Wen Song, an elder of my Wen Family, who would take on the role of Lord of Donglin City? How had it suddenly changed to a Jing Family elder—what the hell had happened?
Wen Lan was aware that Prince Zhou Shangyun should have known why the Wen Family was so adamant about controlling Donglin City—it was to oppose the Jing Family. But now, the Prince had directly appointed a Jing Family elder as the City Lord of Donglin City.
Wasn’t this a slap in the face of the Wen Family?
One could imagine that once this news spread, all the forces, big and small, in Lanqu County City would take this as a mockery of the Wen Family!
Wen Lan was stunned for a long while before taking a deep breath and looking at Zhou Shangyun.
