The male supporting role was captured by the protagonist after his rebirth

Deng Yuanbo sat leisurely in the spacious study, teasing the mysterious black crow that lived in the exquisite birdcage with great interest.

At the same time, his other hand gently twisted a string of Buddhist beads that exuded a faint sandalwood scent.

A thin and frail girl stood quietly beside Deng Yuanbo.

The girl's skin was pale and almost transparent, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness, or had not been exposed to the sun for a long time.

However, in sharp contrast to this are her eyes that are as black as ink.

When people gaze into these eyes, they will involuntarily have an illusion - as if they are gradually sinking into an endless abyss of darkness and unable to extricate themselves.

"Xiaoya, you are lucky."

Deng Yuanbo teased the black crow in the cage for a while, then lost interest and started chatting casually with the girl.

From what he said, it turned out that the girl in front of him was the beggar Wu Ya who was as dirty as a savage.

After she washed and changed into decent clothes, she was like a completely different person.

Although her appearance is not outstanding, she has a clean temperament and at least looks like a normal girl.

However, there always seemed to be a cold aura around her, and she seemed unwilling to communicate with anyone.

Wu Ya lowered her head and said nothing.

Deng Yuanbo was not angry when he saw this, and continued: "It's been so long since Shentong brought you back, but I haven't seen you yet. Are you living well? If you need anything, just tell me."

Wu Ya twisted the hem of her clothes with one hand. The luxurious furnishings in Deng Garden made her feel very uncomfortable. She was still subconsciously afraid of these rich and powerful people.

"Nothing is missing. Thank you Mr. Deng for your kindness."

Deng Yuanbo smiled slightly, with a shrewd look in his eyes. He certainly knew that Wu Ya was not comfortable here.

However, since this little guy is able to own an Ipsilon-level beast at such a young age, he must do something to win people's hearts.

He turned around and picked up an exquisite wooden box from the table. When he opened it, a pair of jade bracelets lay inside, lush green and crystal clear.

"This pair of bracelets was originally intended as a gift for Yun Que, but she has never liked these things. In that case, I'll give them to you."

Deng Yuanbo handed the wooden box to Wu Ya.

Wu Ya looked up in surprise, looking at the box in Deng Yuanbo's hand, and was at a loss for a moment.

Zhu Yunque? Isn't that the current wife of the Deng family's head? How could she take the lady's things?

"Please accept it. This is a little gift from me." Deng Yuanbo said gently.

Wu Ya hesitated for a moment, but finally took the wooden box and thanked him in a low voice.

Although this pair of bracelets is not valuable in the end times, it is also a collection of wealthy families.

In the past, she would never have been able to touch such precious things until her death.

It’s so good to have power in hand... A hint of cruelty flashed in Wu Ya’s eyes. Now, money and supplies were within her reach.

Deng Yuanbo nodded with satisfaction.

Wu Ya carefully put the wooden box away and looked up at Deng Yuanbo, "Thank you, Mr. Deng. I like this gift very much."

Deng Yuanbo smiled and said, "As long as you like it, just let me know if you need anything in the future."

Wu Ya nodded and picked up the bird cage on the table: "If there is nothing else, I will go back first."

Deng Yuanbo was about to stand up and see him off when the housekeeper hurried in and said, "Master, the young mistress wants to see you."

"Let her in." Deng Yuanbo sat back in his chair, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Wu Ya stood up and bowed slightly, "Mr. Deng, I will leave first."

"Well, take care." Deng Yuanbo nodded.

Wu Ya turned and left, and just as she reached the door, she bumped into Zhu Yunque who was walking towards her.

"Ah!" Zhu Yunque exclaimed, took two steps back, steadied himself, looked at Wu Ya, frowned slightly, "You kid... who are you?"

"Hello, Madam." Wu Ya bowed her head, but she felt a little confused. The wife of the head of the family was very beautiful, but why did she have such a sour face and seemed very unhappy?

"Hmph!" Zhu Yunque snorted, walked around Wu Ya and walked into the room.

"Yuque, what are you looking for me for in such a hurry?" Deng Yuanbo put down the teacup and looked at Zhu Yunque.

"Uncle, you have to make the decision for me!" Zhu Yunque glared at Deng Yuanbo and talked a lot like pouring beans, telling him everything she thought about Deng Shentong and Zhang Yi's affair.

After listening to this, Deng Yuanbo paused for a moment and said, "Yuque, this matter cannot be trusted lightly. Empty words cannot be taken as true."

"Uncle, I saw them with my own eyes..." Zhu Yunque was interrupted by Deng Yuanbo before he could finish his words.

"Well, if this is true, I will not let that servant off easily. But accusations without any evidence will only hurt the harmony between the two families."

Deng Yuanbo stood up and patted Zhu Yunque on the shoulder. "Don't worry, I will investigate it thoroughly."

Zhu Yunque wanted to say something else, but seeing Deng Yuanbo's determined look, she had to give up and go straight to another topic:

"Uncle, I have been married to the Deng family for a year, and Deng Shentong has not contacted me at all. This is not appropriate... I am afraid that if I tell others, people will laugh at me."

"It's no big deal, no one dares to laugh at you. You know Shentong, he is very busy and has never had other women around him. It's normal for him to be a little shy." Deng Yuanbo said with a smile.

"Shy? Uncle, he is 33 years old this year! This reason is a bit too far-fetched, right?" Zhu Yunque widened his eyes, and his eye sockets gradually turned red.

Originally, she was just pretending to complain to Deng Yuanbo, but the more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, and her tears could not stop flowing down. "Uncle, I don't want to go on like this. Either Deng Shentong pays attention to me, or I go back to the Zhu family!"

Deng Yuanbo frowned, he stood up, walked to Zhu Yunque, patted her shoulder, "Okay, stop crying, I'll go talk to him for you."

Zhu Yunque stopped crying and looked up at Deng Yuanbo, "Thank you, uncle."

Since her goal was achieved, there was no need for her to stay, so she said goodbye and walked out.

After leaving the study, Zhu Yunque's maid came forward and said, "Miss, why did you cry just now? What if the master saw you, he would think you were wronged."

Zhu Yunque wiped away her tears and said, "I was just pretending. Otherwise, how could Deng Yuanbo feel sorry for me and stand up for me?"

The maid suddenly realized, "Young lady is still smart. But why does young lady have to win the heart of the son-in-law?"

Zhu Yunque's eyes were firm, "Since I married into the Deng family, I came here for wealth and glory."

"Just like my uncle said, if I can't firmly grasp Deng Shentong and obtain the inheritance rights with the bloodline of the Deng family, what's the point of my life?"

The maid nodded and said, "Miss, you are right. This Deng family will be yours from now on!"

Zhu Yunque sighed slightly, "We can only take it one step at a time."

As soon as Zhu Yunque left, the butler walked over to Deng Yuanbo, bowed and said, "Master, do you want to check on the matter between the young master and Zhang Yi?"

Deng Yuanbo waved his hands in annoyance: "Go to hell, what are you investigating? Do we need to investigate when they are like that? They are so brave to take away the position of the head of the family just for that guy!"

He pinched his brows in frustration: "I'm so pissed off... Why did this idiot Shentong fall for that guy? I've raised him for so many years in vain, but he always does such outrageous things to make me angry."

The butler stood aside with his head down, saying nothing, silently enduring Deng Yuanbo's anger.

After Deng Yuanbo calmed down a bit, he asked tentatively, "So...what did Madam just say? Do you want to tell the young master?"

"Convey the shit..."

Deng Yuanbo took a deep breath and sneered, "He, Zhu Zheng, wants to take away the inheritance rights of the Deng family with a child? His calculations are too loud... Shentong is still young."

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that the kid named Zhang Yi was not so difficult to accept. At least that guy was loyal to Shentong and would not pose any threat to the Deng family.

Except... Alas. Deng Yuanbo held his forehead and thought it would be better not to think about it.
