The real heiress has a super-rich system; it's your turn to fawn over her.

Chapter 217 Turn your elbows outward

Tian Zhenzhen nestled on the soft sofa, covered with a plush blanket, next to a half-person-high stove for baking.

It was topped with red dates, oranges, chestnuts, and black tea.

Just as he finished speaking, a chestnut burst open, releasing a sweet aroma.

Although Xiaomei still had doubts on her face, she didn't stop her hands and skillfully peeled open the chestnuts.

Place the roasted chestnuts, now soft, sweet, and fragrant, on a side plate.

There were already roasted chestnuts and red dates inside.

Tian Zhenzhen picked up a chestnut and started eating it. She was so comfortable that her bones felt like they were going to give way.

"Xiaomei, I want to eat chestnut cake tomorrow."

"Okay, boss, I'll arrange it for you tonight."

"Xiao Mei, you're so kind."

"This is what I should do."

The weather finally cleared up the next day.

However, the sun's warmth wasn't comforting, and the cold wind felt like it was blowing into your bones.

Tian Zhenzhen took Daqiang on a trip, and Sanqiang asked her to stay at the Feng family's house.

The Feng family's current strength is still too weak. Once the matter of the secret realm is resolved, the Feng family's affairs will likely be resolved as well. This trip will also solidify her power in the capital.

She and Kong Wei had been in contact before, and the two met up at a small hill in the secret realm.

However, the four major families were well-prepared today. Although this place was sparsely populated, they still set up checkpoints in the distance, prohibiting others from entering.

Tian Zhenzhen's identity was easily confirmed. After contacting Kong Wei, the people guarding the road quickly let her pass.

Just as Kong Wei hung up the phone, Kong Yingjie, who had noticed his movements, spoke up.

"Kong Wei, did you invite a friend over?"

Kong Wei's eyes flashed with a strange light. Usually, his older brother disliked him very much and was unwilling to say a word to him.

Today, contrary to my usual behavior, I took the initiative to talk to him.

"Yes, brother."

"Hmph, do you know that this secret realm is jointly owned by our four major families? How can you let outsiders in? I think you should call and have them leave."

Today is Kong Wei's death day, and Kong Yingjie doesn't want any more trouble to happen in the meantime.

It was clear from the beginning that Kong Wei had probably guessed something, which is why he hurriedly called for help, hoping to make a last-ditch effort.

Unfortunately, this was his predetermined fate, and no matter who was brought in, the outcome would not change.

"Why is it impossible? Didn't our family also invite Master Huikong and the Sword Sect Master for help? I think the other three families have also invited quite a few experts."

Kong Wei did not abandon his cooperation with Tian Zhenzhen because of Kong Yingjie's words.

Moreover, a bad thought arose in his mind, but he just couldn't believe it.

"Hmph, Master Huikong and the Sword Sect Master are both Grandmaster level experts. You yourself said they are experts. Could it be that your friend is also a Grandmaster level expert?"

These people are here specifically for the treasures within the secret realm. How can you let outsiders get a share? It's utterly ridiculous!

When Kong Yingjie saw that Kong Wei refused to cooperate, he shouted at him, which also drew the ire of other members of the Kong family.

"Kong Wei, Brother Yingjie is right. What use is there for you to bring an outsider here, besides sharing the benefits with us?"

"Kong Wei, you're not trying to squeeze out more benefits, are you?"

Don't even think about it. The family's allocation is fixed. Your friend will only be working for us for free; don't even think about taking a single rare and precious herb away.

"Kong Wei, you're supposed to be a member of the Kong family, yet you're siding with outsiders. I advise you to call him away now, otherwise, if he comes, we'll definitely teach him a lesson too."

"An outsider trying to take a share of our profits? He's dreaming!"

The Kong family received very little benefit this time, while the Dao Sect Master and Monk Huikong took away a considerable amount.

There are already many family members, and priority should be given to those family members with good talent.

What they already received was pitifully little, and then Kong Yingjie stirred things up.

Kong Wei has incurred the wrath of the masses.

"We're all brothers, so don't be too impulsive and speak nicely to each other."

I believe that Kong Wei's summons will definitely not benefit anyone.

Besides, whether there's one more person or one less, how much more or less will we get to distribute the spoils?

Good things are never meant for us.

In the end, it was Confucius who spoke up, and everyone who heard his words agreed that it made sense.

The things they receive won't increase or decrease just because of one person's appearance.

I didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore, but Kong Yingjie spoke up again.

"Kong Yan, what nonsense are you talking about? This time all three gates are open at the same time. The middle gate has not been open for more than two hundred years. Do you know how precious a two-hundred-year-old natural treasure is?"

How could you say such a thing? Did you and Kong Wei plan this all along?

Kong Yingjie's words were another excellent example of brainwashing.

Yes, normally when the secret realm opens, they can only share the rare and precious materials on the outermost edge with the other three families.

There are rare and precious herbs inside the central gate that are worth more than two hundred years. It would be a loss to send even one of them away!

"Big brother is right. Kong Wei, bring your men over here. Don't blame us for not showing you any mercy."

"Call him quickly, or things will get awkward."

Kong Yingjie's words stirred up the emotions of the Kong family members again, and they all showed dissatisfaction with Kong Wei, as if the people he had called would steal their benefits.

But they don't consider that those rare and precious herbs of high age might not even be available to them.

Good things are naturally reserved for the upper class first; even within a family, there are different classes.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Kong Yan could only try to persuade him.

"Kong Wei, for your friend's safety, I advise you to call him."

Kong Yan meant well, and he never expected that Kong Yingjie would make such a big deal out of such a small matter.

"The friend I invited is also a master, and he's here to help our Kong family. If you can drive her away, I won't stop you."

Kong Wei naturally understood Kong Yingjie's provocative intentions.

Of course, he wouldn't actually make the call. As for whether they could get rid of Tian Zhenzhen, that would depend on their ability.

This was both a suppression of the Kong family and a test of Tian Zhenzhen.

If he can't even get past this hurdle, then there's no point in continuing his cooperation with Tian Zhenzhen.

However, he still had confidence in Tian Zhenzhen, because only if Tian Zhenzhen was truly strong could he gain more benefits.

Only then can the fear that was weighing on his heart be dispelled.
