Chapter 257: Turmoil in the Fang Household, the Beginning of the End—"Please Vote with Monthly Tickets"
After leaving the Yuan Household, the Fang family head quietly headed to the Hua Household.
This was something the Yuan family head would never have imagined.
Of Cloudbrook Town's three houses, the Yuan Household was the most domineering, while the Fang Household was the foremost fence-sitter, leaning toward whoever offered the most benefits.
As for the Hua Household, it had the weakest foundations, but had grown through marriage alliances and possessed the deepest network of connections.
In the Hua family head's study.
When a guard reported that the Fang family head had come to visit, Hua Yunfei was surprised.
Although his household was inclined toward the Xu Household, it had not truly fallen out with the Yuan and Fang households. He still had to receive his visitor.
He immediately headed to the Main Hall.
"Brother Hongchang, what brings you here today?" Hua Yunfei asked with a faint smile.
"There is something I would like to seek your advice on, Brother Yunfei. What do you think of the Xu Household's recent affairs?"
Hua Yunfei cast him a sidelong glance, immediately understanding his purpose.
So that was what he had come for!
He smiled faintly. "The Xu Household obtained a fortuitous opportunity. Isn't its growth perfectly natural?"
"If your Fang Household or the Yuan Household entered the Skyreach Secret Realm and obtained such an opportunity, would you simply sit idle?"
"Brother Fang, no lineage in this world prospers forever. Even a golden core aristocratic clan may one day decline or perish, let alone the likes of us.
"If the Xu Household had not risen today, then a dozen years from now, it might have been the Xiao Household, the Yuan Household, or the Huang Household instead."
