Chapter 297: Politics

If her life was a drama series, it will be a very boring one. Lyca thought as she stared at the clouds from the window of the plane. If her life was a drama series, then she would become a background character. A rich princess who vowed not to marry a man and live in her palace alone with her two beautiful servants.

Sadly, this life was too different.

Lyca sighed before she rested her head on Shen Qui's shoulders. On her insistence, they are currently in the economy class of the plane on the way to Ath Province. Lyca actually had a choice to choose first class, but she didn't. Of course, this was because she knew that Chu Yuyan was there. That woman actually had the same flight as them.

After Shen Qui woke up, the three families who planned to attack them were already considered ruined. Of course, Shen Qui didn't kill them. Without an heir, the Clint Family transferred to another city while the Chu Family lost the support of the main clan. Moreover, Matriarch Chu had a heart attack and was currently in the ICU. Rumors have it that the woman is in grave danger.

Lyca concluded that the reason why Chu Yuyan also came today was that she wanted to beg for the main family to take them again. However, Chu Yuyan being on the same flight as them was really too suspicious. Because of this, Lyca abandoned the first-class seat and found another two people who were willing to change their seats with her and Shen Qui.

Her reasoning was simple. She didn't want Chu Yuyan to suddenly ask to talk to her and ruin her moments with Shen Qui.

"I heard from father that you wanted to get rid of them?" Shen Qui's voice interrupted her stupor. She gave him a mysterious smile.

"Would you blame me?" she asked. For a few seconds, Shen Qui just stared at her, face unreadable.

"No."

"Then good." Lyca smiled. With everything that is going on, Lyca finally made a decision. She wasn't running away. And she is going to obliterate everyone who offended her. In that way, she won't have any problems in the future. Lyca wasn't a very forgiving person.

Shen Qui let out a sigh. In the end, Lyca still chose to end the Clint and Yun Family. Shen Qui made the two families leave the City, but Lyca was different.

"This is killing the chicken to scare the monkey," he heard Lyca said. Of course, he could understand her point of view. "Are you going to change my opinion?" she asked, her eyes still closed, her face calm.

"No," he answered. This was him being honest. The Clint Family along with the Yun Family colluded with the Long Family. This was already proven because of some transactions that the families made with each other. Because of this, Shen Qui suffered some injuries from the ambush. However, the Chu Family's involvement in the matter was not yet confirmed. "What about the— "

"Not going to touch them until they leave the City," Lyca smiled. If the current Chu Family won't leave Kong City, then she would not touch them. If someone would ask her why, Lyca's answer would be very simple. Because of the benefits that they could bring to their territory.

"I understand." Shen Qui nodded. Now that he was awake, the issue about the territory slowly died down. Some spies from the Clint Family were also caught. However, the two knew another storm is coming, and that is Lord Olfan. So, Lyca wanted this cooperation with the Chu Family to be completed before they come back and tackle the matter with this Lord.

After a few more minutes of flying, the two finally arrived in Ath Province. Though there were arrangements made by the Chu Family, Lyca still chose to arrange her own transportation with her husband. This was only because she honestly wanted privacy.

Arriving at the Chu mansion, Lyca realized that Chu Yuyan was already there with her assistant, who is surprisingly Jessica Dongfang. Lyca lifted an eyebrow as she met Shen Qui's eyes. She was certain that this Jessica wasn't on the plane with them. Moreover, the woman was still wanted for hurting her father. How could she come here? Lyca couldn't help but wonder if Chu Yuyan actually spent millions just to bribe people for Jessica? But why?

"Mr. And Mrs. Shen please follow me, I will bring you to your room." The butler named Anthony gave them a cordial smile.

"He can take my luggage," Lyca said when Anthony tried to touch the luggage which contains the poison.

"My apologies," Anthony gave a small bow. "Please follow me." Without waiting for them to say anything, he walked in front of them and led them to the second floor of the fifty-room mansion.

"So, Miss Chu Yuyan had been here for a few minutes now?" Lyca inquired.

"Yes, Madam. I am not aware that you are acquainted with Miss Chu and even had the same plane as hers. If we knew, we could have asked the older Madam Chu to arrange the same transportation as you."

"There's no need for that," Lyca said, a peculiar glint can be seen in her eyes. It seems that the politics in this Chu Family is deeper than she originally thought. However, this doesn't concern her anymore. "Mr. Anthony, can you please recommend us some good hotpot and maybe some hot spring?" she asked, her face showing an innocent smile.
