âDid I not say what it was?â The first elder of the Hong family said angrily.
âGreat elder! You didnât tell me!â The members of the Hong family all shook their heads and whispered in unison.
âI just found out about some of the Hong familyâs scandals from the Yan familyâs first elder, so I personally went to the prison to verify it. Hmph! Why didnât you guys tell me?â As long as the first elder of the Hong family thought about how he had been kept in the dark, the anger in his heart would surge.
âWhat scandal?â Everyone from the Hong family looked at each other and looked at their first elder in confusion.
âLian âer and Xinâ er, didnât you hear?â The great elder of the Hong family had a look of disbelief on his face because the great elder of the Yan family had secretly told him that this matter had already spread throughout Hong city. Since that was the case, how could the Hong family not know about it? This was really too strange.
âGreat elder! Did something happen to them?â Elder Shanâs face was full of question marks.
âYes.â The first elder of the Hong family nodded and told them what had happened. After hearing it, the Hong family fell silent.
After a moment, elder Shan, who had just reacted, said angrily,ââFamily head, those two wretched girls actually did such a thing and caused our Hong family to lose face. The two of them must be severely punished! I suggest that they be expelled from the Hong family. â
Elder Shanâs furious words immediately received a response from the people present. Although they were all a little surprised that the two daughters of the family head would actually do such a thing, since it had already been confirmed, the two of them naturally could not remain in the family. Otherwise, what face would the Hong family have left?
âWe definitely have to expel them, but theyâre in the hands of the Yan clan now. Iâm thinking, should we let them be in the hands of the Yan clan, or should we get them out with the other clansmen and then make a decision?â The first elder of the Hong family frowned and said in a somewhat conflicted manner.
âGreat elder! Why should we care about them after what they did? Just let them live and die on their own. â Someone suggested.
âYup! The great elder! Of the two of them, one has committed a shameful act and the other has betrayed the family. If they continue to stay in the family, many of the family members will not accept it. â Someone immediately agreed.
âGreat elder! Weâll just leave them at the Yan residence. As for how the Yan family wants to deal with them, we donât care. Weâll just pretend that we never knew these two. â Elder Shan said.
......
It wasnât that first elder Hong didnât have the thought of leaving the Yan clan behind. However, he thought about it again. If he left Hong Lian and Hong Xin behind in the Yan clan and didnât care about them, then they would probably be a level lower in front of the Yan clan in the future. Therefore, he was in a difficult position.
âGrand Elder, weâll listen to your decision.â Elder Shan couldnât help but ask anxiously when he saw that first elder didnât respond for a long time.
âLet me think about it. All of you can leave!â The first elder of the Hong family waved his hand, stood up, and went into the inner room. When the people of the Hong family who were left in the hall saw this, they could only turn around and leave.
The next day.
For some reason, gossip about the first elders of the Yan and Hong family had started to spread in the Yan familyâs main residence.
After the Yan clanâs great elder left his room early in the morning, he saw the Yan clanâs clansmen whispering to each other along the way. When they saw him, they all scattered like birds and beasts. Seeing this, the Yan clanâs great elder was extremely puzzled and couldnât help but secretly think to himself,âwhen did he become so terrifying? when the clansmen saw him, they were actually like mice seeing a cat. This is really too strange.â
Even though he was surprised, he did not think too much about it. Instead, he went straight to liuxiang residence where Leng ruoxue and the others were staying.
When he entered liuxiang residence, the Yan clanâs great elder was sitting in the living room, waiting for Leng ruoxueâs arrival. However, he noticed that Zi Yu and the rest were also looking at him in surprise. This made him even more suspicious. This, what exactly had happened?
âFirst elder, why are you here so early in the morning?â Leng ruoxue walked into the living room and looked at the first elder of the Yan clan, who was sitting uncomfortably on the chair. She chuckled and teased him.
âIâm preparing to go to first elder Hong to discuss the compensation, so I came here to see if miss Leng has any other requests. â Yan tribeâs first elder said honestly.
âOh! Didnât you guys talk about it yesterday?â Leng ruoxue asked out of curiosity.
âNo, I didn ât! That old man was in a bad mood yesterday. He didnât show up for the whole day after he came to see me this morning. â Yan tribeâs first elder said.
âNot in a good mood? âCould it be that you guys ...â Leng ruoxue smiled faintly, but she stopped mid-sentence.
âUh! Whatâs wrong with us?â Yan clanâs first elder looked at Leng ruoxueâs expression, and his face was filled with question marks.
âDid you guys quarrel?â Leng ruoxue asked nosily.
âNo, I didn ât! Itâs not my fault that heâs in a bad mood. â The Yan clanâs first elder instinctively explained. He didnât know why, but he had a bad feeling in his heart, as if something was going to happen. Wu ... Why did he have such a feeling? It was too strange.
âHow can it not be related to you? Arenât you two very close? Heâs in a bad mood and you didnât comfort him? Although thereâs a conflict between your two families, Isnât It a Pity to lose the person you like for the sake of the family?â Leng ruoxue reminded. Her words were like a sudden clap of thunder, blasting the Yan clanâs first elder out of his wits and almost causing his soul to fly out of his body.
âMiss Leng, you, what do you mean by this?â The Yan clanâs first elder asked in disbelief. He didnât hear wrong, did he? The meaning behind Leng ruoxueâs words shouldnât be what he was thinking, right? He could not help but console himself.
âGreat elder Yan, you canât control your emotions. I wonât laugh at you. On the contrary, I admire your courage. After all, itâs not easy to find someone you like.â Leng ruoxue said with a face full of envy.
âWhat do you mean by someone you like?â Yan clanâs first elder was somewhat dumbfounded. Could he be dreaming? Why did he hear that she had someone she liked? Who was it? Why didnât he know about it?
âThereâs no need to be shy, great elder Yan. Everyone in the Yan clan knows about you and the great elder of the Hong clan. Even we have heard about it.â Leng ruoxue consoled. Even though she didnât believe in any rumors, she couldnât help but doubt the authenticity of the matter when she saw the Yan clanâs first elderâs shock and his unwillingness to let others know.
