Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 220: A Strong Fist Is the True Principle
Xia Mian didn’t mention Ye Ge’s treachery with half a word, but every word she spoke revealed Ye Ge’s treachery blatantly.
Xia Liang raised his head, his gaze scrutinizing Qin Ru’s face, "Your Aunt Ye just happened to pass by my granddaughter’s door in the dead of night? Qin Ru, do you think I’m a three-year-old child? So easily deceived?"
Qin Ru’s expression remained unchanged, still carrying Ye Ge with an innocent look, her eyes full of concern, "Father, whether you believe it or not, you can’t just listen to one side and start doubting my people."
After a pause, Qin Ru continued, "Father, Aunt Ye is the person the Great Elder of the Heavenly Maiden Clan relies on the most. Now that she’s injured like this, I hope for the peace between the two clans, you can first have someone help treat Aunt Ye’s injuries!"
Qin Ru raised her head to look at Xia Liang, retreating to advance.
The matters between Xia Liang and the Great Elder of the Heavenly Maiden Clan, others might not know, but she was very clear about them. Her father-in-law was never a virtuous man!
Sure enough, after Qin Ru brought up the Great Elder of the Heavenly Maiden Clan, Xia Liang’s expression slightly changed.
"The person the Great Elder relies on the most?" Xia Liang softly repeated this sentence and when he looked at Qin Ru again, his gaze had become somewhat complicated.
"Yes." Qin Ru solemnly nodded her head, "Father, what did Aunt Ye do to deserve such harm?"
Qin Ru had made up her mind; after all, Xia Mian and the others suffered no harm, the injured was Ye Ge, and she firmly held onto this result without admitting Ye Ge was sent by her to assassinate Xia Mian!
Qin Ru wearing a serious expression still seemed innocent indeed, which made Xia Liang hesitate.
Could it be, they wrongly accused Qin Ru?
Amidst Xia Liang’s indecision, Xia Mian turned and pulled Lu Zechuan’s hand to walk out.
Upon seeing Xia Mian’s action, it was obvious she was angry!
Xia Liang’s face stiffened instantly, "Don’t you understand what she’s done? Qin Ru, considering my slight ties with your Great Elder of the Heavenly Maiden Clan, I can give you a chance to confess voluntarily..."
Xia Liang finished speaking, casting a glance at Xia Mian only to see that she had no intention of stopping and kept walking outside.
Xia Liang became somewhat anxious; Xia Mian’s willingness to let people bring Ye Ge to see him was a test!
Otherwise, with Xia Mian’s abilities, Ye Ge would have been dead long ago!
If he couldn’t pass the test of his dear granddaughter, given her temper, she would definitely walk away without looking back!
"Qin Ru, stop your nonsense. I know clearly what Ye Ge has done. I’m telling you now, the Divine Clan claims Ye Ge’s life!" Xia Liang’s face grew stern, his voice cold and sharp.
After these words were spoken, Xia Mian paused at the doorway, just a step away from leaving the council hall!
Thankfully, he reacted fast enough to keep his dear granddaughter!
"Father!" Qin Ru raised her head in disbelief, her eyes full of astonishment as she looked at Xia Liang, "You weren’t like this before; how can you slander your daughter-in-law without distinguishing right from wrong?!"
Qin Ru wasn’t innocent, but she played her part so well that outsiders would see her as a victim!
Annoyed by Qin Ru’s noise, Xia Liang impatiently glared at her, "Qin Ru, despite being the third young lady of the Heavenly Maiden Clan, your talent is the worst of all. You should know how you entered the Divine Clan. So, behave yourself or you might preserve your life."
After Xia Liang said this, Xia Mian stepped out of the council hall.
Xia Liang was stunned.
"Dear granddaughter! Where are you going?!" Seeing Xia Mian leaving, Xia Liang disregarded Qin Ru and stood up to chase after Xia Mian.
Inside the council hall, Xia Weiyang, kneeling on the ground, looked on venomously, her heart reaching peak hatred at the moment!
Dear granddaughter?
In all her years, Xia Liang has never spoken to her in such a gentle and kind tone!
If not calling her by her full name, it’s already considered quite respectful!
Furious, Xia Weiyang gnashed her teeth, her eyes burning with red hate, but now, with Xia Liang on Xia Mian’s side, she had neither the confidence nor the capacity to harm Xia Mian.
She regretted it deeply; had she known it would end up like this, why did she provoke Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan?
Let them live peacefully in this present world!
Unfortunately, there’s no remedy for regret in this world.
Since Xia Mian’s arrival to the Divine Clan, within a few short days, she’s tilted the balance of power towards her!
"What is she?! Why does she get to take everything that belongs to me!" Xia Weiyang gnashing her teeth, indignantly turned to see Xia Liang smiling ingratiatingly, rubbing his hands awkwardly, laughing before Xia Mian, "Dear granddaughter, don’t rush to leave! If you’re dissatisfied with grandpa’s decision, state your terms, be it execution or anything else; it’s all up to you!"
Xia Mian turned slightly to glance at the kneeling Xia Weiyang and Qin Ru.
The two seemed to have not slept well last night, their faces pale, with dark circles under their eyes.
"There’s no need for execution, after all, I’m not that cruel," Xia Mian said softly, turning back slowly. Her gaze landed on Xia Weiyang and Qin Ru, with an added hint of playfulness, "Since they wish for a unique position in the Divine Clan, then strip their cultivation and expel them from the Divine Clan!"
"Xia Mian!" Xia Weiyang screamed sharply, "You vile woman! How can you be so ruthless!"
Although Xia Weiyang and Qin Ru’s cultivation wasn’t high, leaving the Divine Clan would allow them some self-protection ability. Losing their cultivation would make them no different from ordinary people!
But the Divine Clan nurtures people with naturally good looks, once outside, it’s easy for them to become targets of malicious intent!
Could their days still be enjoyable?
Xia Mian wasn’t bothered by Xia Weiyang’s curses, her smile growing even stronger, "Ruthless? Xia Weiyang, you’re truly double-faced! When you broadly offered rewards for the Mystical Sects to target my mom and Lu Zechuan, didn’t you think yourself cruel?!"
At that time, Song Juan and Lu Zechuan were just ordinary people!
Did they ever offend her?
It was merely because Song Juan had some past with Xia Zhun, wasn’t it enough for her to tolerate Song Juan?
Just because there was an ancestral marriage agreement between the Wood Clan and the Divine Clan, why can’t she tolerate Lu Zechuan!
What did Lu Zechuan do wrong? He knew nothing about this, yet suffered all sorts of calamities brought by her, is this fair to Lu Zechuan?
In this world, there’s never anything fair. Strength is the true reason for fairness.
