Chapter 59: Revenge (2)
Ye Qingtang swept his gaze to the Great Elder and said while sneering: “I am the heir to the Household Head. I'm sure you're not in a position to dictate how I speak to others.”
The Great Elder's face turned grim in an instant.
“Tang Tang's…. Please don't misunderstand me. We were just helping dad to confront the traitor in our house. ” Ye Xun tried her best to show a good and sympathetic appearance.
Ye Qingtang looked at Ye Xun's annoying face with disdain: “Ye Xun, I'm surprised you haven't understood your own place. Allow me to enlighten you. Who are you to call the Head of the Household as a father? After all, our household affairs have nothing to do with you.”
“...” Ye Qingtang's words were like daggers piercing Ye Xun's pride, exposing her two-faced nature even with her wise temperament, she failed to maintain her sweet face.
“Qingtang, you've gone overboard with your words. Xun-er grew up in your household. So naturally, he wants the best for your family. You have misinterpreted his attitude of goodwill. ” Duan Tianrao spoke for Ye Xun as soon as he came to his senses.
“Aware of information, she was not 'raised' in our household, but raised out of pity, just as an adopted orphan. If you feel we have treated her badly, feel free to take her home. We don't need his good intentions. ” Ye Qingtang ignored all courtesy when he spoke to Duan Tianrao.
Even without her disgust at the man, Ye Qingtang hated him to the marrow of his bones, simply due to the fact that he had raised a hand against his father.
His ridicule but critical reprimand had left Duan Tianrao and Ye Xun speechless, completely ruining their pride, including the Elders of the Duan Household whose faces had turned sour.
“What is happening here is just an internal affair of our Ye Household. Member of the Duan Household, if you have no further affairs with us, please leave our place now. ” Ye Qingtang doesn't mind driving away unwanted guests.
With his blatant condemnation of their presence, no sane person wanted to stay. Moreover, since the Second Elder was already injured, the Great Elder should not face any more difficulties in dealing with him. So, leaving immediately is the best course of action to prevent further complications.
The Great Elder nodded at the gesture, although his expression remained gloomy. He did not mind them leaving because he had also anticipated that he could deal with the Second Elder himself, given the current conditions.
While the other Duan family members came out quickly, Duan Tianrao looked at the pretty face of Ye Qingtang again, before voicing his concern: "Qingtang, regardless of what you think, is, everything we have done today is for the best for your family. Your Second Elder Betrayal should not be left unchecked or he will remain a plague in your family life. ”
Ye Qingtang ignored him completely, without even glancing at him in the slightest and Duan Tianrao could only turn around and leave.
When they finally left, Ye Qingtang then approached the Second Elder, smiling: "Welcome back."
After witnessing his nephews daring action to turn the situation around, the Second Elder was delighted and relieved to see his character mature beyond his expectations.
But the Great Elder who stood by the side warned: “Second Elder has planned a murder against us. His crime was too much to forgive and he had to be executed according to our rules.”
Ye Qingtang turned to face the Great Elder and asked: "Is there any evidence?"
"Evidence?" The Great Elder sneered: “With our deaths, he will be the sole beneficiary. Is there a need for further proof?”
Ye Qingtang sneered and said without further ado: “That's just speculation and not proof. Last night when the killers infiltrated my father's residence, I happened to be around and had a disagreement with them. Although their prowess was clearly beyond my ability, I managed to catch a glimpse of the word 'Qin' embroidered under the collar of their sleeves. If you remember, is that the badge belonging to the famous assassin guild in our city, Qin Luo Pavilion?”
