Chapter 378

“Ah, Mr. Butler, this is what I want to hear from the corner of the wall. Moreover, if we didn’t eavesdrop, how would we know so much information?” Chen Meng’er said to Mr. Butler before she blinked her big eyes and. “But, Mr. Butler, what is this Council of Elders? Is it very powerful?”

Chen Meng’er had heard of this Council of Elders in her previous life, but she had only heard of it. And the things that she had heard of were definitely things that people could know. Therefore, this information was simply impossible for Chen Meng’er to read. Therefore, she turned her gaze to the only person who could answer her question- Mr. Butler.

“Yes. The Council of Elders are all people with high positions in the family. Of course, they are very powerful,” Mr. Butler answered lightly.

“Does that mean that Uncle Arthur and Yuwen have to listen to the people of the Council of Elders?” Chen Meng’er tilted her head and looked at Mr. Butler to verify.

“It should be like this.” Mr. Butler did not know how to explain to Chen Meng’er the position of the elders in these ancient families. He also did not know how to explain to Chen Meng’er that the relationship between the elders and the family head... was a delicate relationship.

The Council of Elders had played a significant role in the second young master’s rebellion. If it were not for these elders instigating chaos and giving so-called support... why would the second young master have the intention to rebel? They had seen it clearly. How could the family head not understand the reason behind it?

This was also why, after the family head had captured the second young master, he did not punish him severely. He just did not ask anyone to remove the two silver needles from the second young master’s body.

However, if Chen Meng’er knew that Arthur’s punishment for Peter was this, she would definitely be unable to help but raise her two thumbs up and sigh at Arthur’s brilliant move. Others might not know how powerful Chen Meng’er’s silver needles were, but she knew very well that the pain caused by the needles on the acupuncture points in the body was life-threatening.

This kind of punishment was even more torturous than shooting Peter to death. However, these people didn’t know that Arthur didn’t know, and the people outside didn’t know. They only knew that the head of the Buyano family valued relationships and cared about the relationship between brothers.

Chen Meng’er touched her small chin as if she was thinking. However, Chen Meng’er was actually thinking about something. She was thinking back to when she eavesdropped at the door just now, it was very clear that... Yuwen Jing and Arthur rushed to the Council of Elders because the Hill family had reported the matter of Yuwen Jing breaking off the engagement to the Council of Elders. Then the Council of Elders would look for Yuwen Jing, and Arthur and his son... to settle the score...

Chen Meng’er had always known that Yuwen Jing held a special place in her heart. However, she had always felt that she was still young and had yet to consider the relationship between them. However, Chen Meng’er had to admit that when Snow Hill appeared in front of her with Yuwen Jing’s identity as her fiancée and showed off his power, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

As for Chen Meng’er, who had experience from her previous life, she quickly understood why she felt uncomfortable. In fact, she had always kept Yuwen Jing in her heart, in the position of the person she liked.

Since Chen Meng’er understood her feelings for Yuwen Jing, and she knew that Yuwen Jing did have feelings for her, this made Chen Meng’er, who had a deep regret for her secret crush in her previous life, clench her fists in her heart, she encouraged herself, “Yes, what belongs to me, Chen Meng’er, can never be snatched away from me.”

After deciding on her next step, Chen Meng’er turned her head and said to Mr. Butler, “Mr. Butler, let’s go to the Council of Elders to take a look.”

“Miss Meng’er, this can’t be done. Outsiders are not allowed to barge in. If they are caught, they will be severely punished.” Mr. Butler shook his head like a rattle.

However, even if Mr. Butler shook his head off... he could not shake Chen Meng’er’s determination to go on a one-day trip to the Council of Elders. “Mr. Butler, if you don’t bring me along, then I will go look for them myself. It’s hard for me, Chen Meng’er, to be there. However, Mr. Butler, if anything happens to me, Xibo will definitely be very worried. He was very angry. And Xibo handed me over to you, Mr. Butler.” Chen Meng’er stopped talking, however, she still looked at Mr. Butler from time to time. The meaning in her eyes could be seen even if she was a fool. Moreover, she was shrewd.

Mr. Butler was filled with regret now. Why did he feel that Miss Meng’er was a cute little angel? She was completely a little devil.

However, no matter how regretful Mr. Butler was, he could only grit his teeth and silently wipe away the tears in his heart. “Miss Meng’er, you should follow me.” The Buyano family was not the only place in the Council of Elders, they could not just barge in,

“Alright.” After achieving her goal, Chen Meng’er automatically returned to being an obedient child.

Chen Meng’er originally thought that the Council of Elders of these ancient families would definitely not be far from the main house. However, Chen Meng’er followed Mr. Butler and took many turns. If it was not for the fact that Chen Meng’er’s memory was better than the average person... she definitely wouldn’t know the way back. Finally, after taking ten more turns, an English-style building finally appeared in front of Chen Meng’er.

“Miss Meng’er, we’ve arrived at the Council of Elders. Look, we’d better not go in. We’ll just wait here for the Family Head and Young Master.” Mr. Butler tried to persuade Chen Meng’er to give up on this one-day trip to the Council of Elders.

But who was Chen Meng’er? Was Chen Meng’er the kind of person who would give up after being persuaded by others? Of course not. Therefore, Chen Meng’er shook her head at Mr. Butler and strode towards the Council of Elders. Mr. Butler could only follow.

Just as Chen Meng’er walked into the door of the building, she heard a loud and excited voice coming from her right. Chen Meng’er listened carefully and heard clearly what that person was saying.
