Everyone looked at each other. No one knew what their ancestor meant, so no one dared to speak first.

Second brother! Youre the one who brought him here, do you have anything to say? The master of the ning family lifted his eyes and looked at the second elder.

The second elder was his second son, but he was very old-fas.h.i.+oned. Therefore, their father-son relations.h.i.+p was more like a superior-subordinate relations.h.i.+p. The second elder respected him very much, but he never dared to call him father.

Second was his exclusive form of address, especially when he was unhappy. Otherwise, he would still give his son some face. After all, his son was not young anymore.

Hearing the word second, the second elder knew that he had angered the great ancestor. He was nervous, but he still braced himself and said,Master! There cant be peace without rules. I think we should give our clansmen an explanation for this.

Oh, really? Then do you know whos the one who drugged you? The master of the ning family squinted his eyes and looked at the second elder in an unfriendly tone. Although this son was a little old-fas.h.i.+oned, his character was still okay. It was just that sometimes he was overprotective and couldnt tell right from wrong, which was quite a headache.

Moreover, he was well aware that the second elder definitely knew who the culprit was. Otherwise, he would not have brought the person in front of him in such a grandiose manner.

This I heard from the head butler that this person is Leng ruoxue. The second elder hesitated for a moment before speaking. However, he felt a little depressed. He did not know whether it was right or wrong for him to bring people to the old Grand Madame. However, since Leng ruoxue was involved in this matter, how would he dare to deal with her so casually?

When Ning Yuan and the elder who did not know the truth heard the second elders words, they were shocked and their faces turned pale. Did second elder treat them as his mattress? He knew that Leng ruoxue was the one who did it, yet he still wanted them to embarra.s.s themselves in front of their Grand Madame? It was a good thing they didnt say anything more outrageous. Otherwise, their ancestor would make things difficult for them!

At this moment, they didnt dare to say a word and subconsciously kept their distance from the head butler. If they did, they would be scolded by the family head.

Actually, when they found out that Leng ruoxue was the elder ancestors G.o.ddaughter, they were clear of her position in the elder ancestors heart. After all, with the elder ancestors status, how could he casually take in a G.o.ddaughter? but once he did, it was enough to show how much importance the elder ancestor placed on this person. But now, the head butler actually dared to pluck a hair from the Tigers head. Wasnt he courting death? Right now, it was no longer important who was right or wrong. What was important was the old Grand Madames mood. If he was bent on protecting Leng ruoxue, why would he care about what others thought? They dared to use the clan to force other clansmen to commit crimes, but would they dare to force their own ancestors? That would be courting death!

In a short moment, many people saw the situation in front of them and decided to be onlookers. Their reaction naturally could not escape the eyes of the ning family master. However, the ning family master was very unhappy with their decision to go with the flow. He even made up his mind to let Xue er teach these old sly people a lesson. At this moment, it also decided the miserable life of their future generations.

Do you know why Xue er would do this? After a long silence, master ning spoke again.

Of course, its because Leng ruoxue is arrogant and domineering, using her status as the family head to oppress her clansmen. The second elder said without hesitation. Of course, most of what he knew was from the head butler. He trusted the head butler and knew that he wouldnt dare to lie to him.

His words made Ning Yan raise her eyebrows. Was this self-righteous second brother talking about little sister ruoxue? Why did she feel like they were two different people?

Are you sure? After a while, the master of the ning family asked in a somewhat resentful tone.

Of course Im sure! The second elder was very confident.

Did the head butler tell you this? The master of the ning family sighed. This son of his was really too immature. He actually believed everything he heard. It was a big taboo for such a person to be in a high position in the ning family!

Not all of them! Clan head, Ive interacted with Leng ruoxue a few times and I know a thing or two about her personality. The second elder could hear the displeasure in the family heads tone and quickly explained. Actually, from the first time he saw Leng ruoxue, he did not have a good impression of her. Otherwise, why would he allow Leng ruoxue to stay in a side courtyard? However, Leng ruoxue was the adopted daughter of the master. No matter how much he disliked her, he didnt dare to go too far. However, it was impossible for him to get close to Leng ruoxue.

Leng ruoxue had a beautiful face that could topple a city. Her personality was also extremely flamboyant, and she was born with a domineering air. In front of the family head, she could do whatever she wanted and be as flamboyant as she wanted. This was exactly what the inflexible and strict him did not like. It was also because of this that he was biased against Leng ruoxue. Hence, when the head butler had just come to him to complain and ask for his help, he had brought her to the family head without a second thought.

And the cause of all this was jealousy.

However, the second elder had no idea that his prejudice against Leng ruoxue was due to his jealousy.

He was jealous that Leng ruoxue could live freely in front of the master and do whatever she wanted. He was jealous that she could live so freely and was even more jealous of the masters unreasonable indulgence of her. Even Ning Yan would not be able to enjoy such treatment. However, the master had given all of this to someone who had no blood relations.h.i.+p with him.

Of course, this jealousy was hidden in the depths of his heart, and he had not noticed it at this moment. Hence, finding Leng ruoxues fault was the reason he naturally thought of the clan, even if this reason could not stand up to scrutiny
