“Injure him? This should be counted as showing mercy,” Ye Qingtang scoffed. When she saw the Duan family’s Elders pressing the Second Elder on the ground, the anger that she had just suppressed a while ago started to rile up again.
What a brilliant Great Elder! What a brilliant Duan family!
“You, the Duan’s, are seriously becoming more and more impressive. Not only do you all want to interfere in the Ye family’s matters, you all still allowed the next family master of the Duan family to attack Family Master Ye? Your appetite is really getting bigger!” Ye Qingtang scoffed.
A Duan Elder frowned and said, “The Second Young Master did not want to offend your father intentionally. He just didn’t want him to be involved and hurt himself only. The Second Elder from the Ye family committed an atrocity and plotted to murder the Family Master and Great Elder of the Ye family. As in-laws with the Ye family, in addition to Xun’s close relationship with the Great Elder, of course the Duan family had to come and provide assistance.”
“Provide assistance?” Ye Qingtang’s lips curled as a frown hung at the corner of her lips. “Ye Xun is merely an adopted daughter of the Ye family and cannot be said to be a real member of the Ye family. She does not have the right to interfere in the Ye family’s matters. What more relation does the Duan family, whom she has an engagement with, have with the Ye family!”
Ye Qingtang did not give Ye Xun any face at all as she directly trashed Ye Xun’s public title as Lady Ye.
In an instant, all color faded from Ye Xun’s face as her hands that were hung on her side secretly balled into a fist.
“Or should I say that the Duan family’s ambition is growing? The Ye and Duan family are both part of the three greatest family clans in Lin Town. Now that the Duan family actually overstepped their authority to interfere in the Ye family’s matters, could it be that the Duan family wants to become the greatest family clan in Lin town?” Ye Qingtang looked at the few Elders from the Duan family coldly as the warmth in her tone suddenly vanished.
The Duan Elders’ faces darkened at her words.
They were requested to come here by the Great Elder to deal with the Second Elder today and had no other intention. However, Ye Qingtang’s words exaggerated the Duan family’s ambitions. If this were to spread, wouldn’t their actions sow discord both with the Ye and within Duan family?
The Elders from the Duan family frowned slightly. Looking at Ye Qingtang’s charming face, they suddenly remembered.
A few days ago, they had heard that Young Lady Ye was close to the Third Young Master Si and frequently visited the Si residence. If Ye Qingtang told the Si family about today’s incident,
won’t the Duan family…
Then, the Duan Elders’ expressions turned weird.
Ye Qingtang scoffed, “Duan Elders, how much longer do you want to lock our Ye Family’s Second Elder?”
Their faces froze. After weighing their options, they finally released their grip slowly.
They did not fear Ye Qingtang, but her relationship with the Si family did make them afraid.
In recent years, there had been no conflicts between the Duan and Si family. If they angered the Si family just because they helped the Great Elder with a small favor, they would lose more than they gained.
Free from suppression, the Second Elder stood up immediately and took a deep breath, forcing down the surging blood in his chest. His gaze landed on Ye Qingtang and surprise filled his eyes uncontrollably.
Was this still the little girl who had always cowardly hidden behind him and Ye Ling?
“Ye Qingtang, watch how you speak to these Elders from the Duan family,” uttered the Great Elder. He had never once thought that Ye Qingtang would cause his scheme to fail.
