After the master of the Hong family and the other elders were summoned by the seventh elder, they were all a little confused. The fifth elder looked at the seventh elder and said indifferently,””Seventh elder, why did you call all of us here in the middle of the night?”

“Family head, elders, we’ve found the person who betrayed our Hong family.” The seventh elder said with a heavy heart.

“Who is it?” All the elders were shocked and quickly asked. As members of the Hong family, they didn’t want anyone to do such a thing. Now that the seventh elder told them that the person had been found, their feelings were quite complicated.

“Men! Bring the man in!” The seventh elder shouted towards the outside of the tent. Then, two guards came in one after the other, and Hong Xin was in the middle of the two guards.

The elders stretched their necks and searched around, their faces full of question marks.

“Seventh elder, who is the person who betrayed the Hong family that you mentioned?” An elder could not help but ask.

“It’s our Hong family’s second miss, Hong Xin!” The seventh elder’s words were earth-shattering and caused a huge commotion among the elders. The master of the Hong family was even more furious and in disbelief.

“Seventh elder, you can’t say such things. Xin ‘er is the second miss of our Hong family. How could she do such a thing!” The master of the Hong family said unhappily with a dark face.

“Family head, the guards and I saw this with our own eyes, and we caught the second miss who was in contact with the Yan family. As a member of our Hong family, the second Miss May not have truly betrayed the family, but she betrayed the family to frame others, and that is unforgivable! If the patriarch has any questions, you can ask the second lady yourself. ” The seventh elder reminded with a faint smile.

“Xin ‘er! Did you really do this?” Master Hong’s face darkened as he questioned loudly.

“Father! I … I didn’t do it on purpose, father! You must help me!” Hong Xin stammered in fear. Ever since she was caught red-handed by the seventh elder, she had been in a state of anxiety and fear.”How did things turn out like this? how did the seventh elder find out?” she thought she was very secretive, but she couldn’t figure it out.

“Pa!” With a crisp sound, the master of the Hong family slapped Hong Xin’s face. In an instant, half of Hong Xin’s face swelled up, showing how much strength he had used.

“You actually dared to do such a thing!” The head of the Hong family said disappointedly. Lian ‘er’s previous scandal had already shamed him, and now this daughter he doted on the most had actually betrayed the family. According to the seventh elder, it was to frame someone else. This was preposterous!

Thinking up to this point, the head of the Hong family coldly asked,””Who do you want to frame?”

“I, I …” Hong Xin stammered, not daring to speak.

“Isn’t the master an advisor? The person that second young lady wants to frame is naturally the person that she is jealous of and hates. That person is Leng ruoxue. ” The seventh elder sneered. Although the Hong family was not considered a top family, it was still a disgrace for them to have such a young lady from the direct line. Therefore, the seventh elder was extremely angry.

“No wonder second young miss kept saying that Leng ruoxue betrayed the Hong family. So that’s the reason!” An elder said with a look of understanding.

“Second miss, even if you hate Leng ruoxue, you can’t sell out your family! Don’t forget, if you didn’t have your family to support you, would you be able to live so well? If our Hong family is swallowed up by the Yan family because of you, can you still be the young miss who swaggered around? Will the Yan family let you go?” All the elders chimed in, their words full of criticism.

“I, I …” Hong wanted to defend himself, however, he couldn’t even form a complete sentence.

“Elders, please be quiet! Since the matter has come to this, blaming second young lady is of no use. It’s better to first think about how to solve this matter!” The seventh elder said loudly.

“Of course, this matter has to be resolved. However, the second miss has betrayed the family and must also be severely punished.” An elder said.

“Master! You must give the clan an explanation for this!” Another elder said.

When the head of the Hong family heard this, he didn’t say a word because he really didn’t know what to say. A few days ago, Hong Lian had done a shameful thing and the elders were already very dissatisfied with him. Now, Xin ‘er had betrayed the family. These two incompetent daughters had met with mishaps one after another. To him, it was simply adding hail to snow. If this matter were to be spread back to the main family, he would probably be done as the head of the family. Thinking of this, he really wanted to cry but had no tears!

“Patriarch, you should make the decision on this matter!” At this moment, the fifth elder of the Hong family, who rarely spoke, raised his eyes and said calmly.

“Right! Master, you’re the head of the Hong family. We believe that you’ll handle this matter fairly. ” Another elder immediately agreed.

“Since the elders trust me so much, I will definitely not disappoint them.” He knew that if he didn’t express his attitude, the elders would definitely not let him off. Thus, the Hong family head could only force himself to speak. Not only that, this matter had to be handled strictly. Otherwise, his position as the family head would probably be over.

Although he doted on his two daughters, they were too disappointing. Moreover, compared to the position of the family head, these two troublesome daughters seemed insignificant.

Moreover, as long as he continued to sit in the position of the head of the family, he could get any woman he wanted! There would naturally be many children in the future, so why should he make these elders dissatisfied for his two crippled daughters? At this moment, his mind was spinning, and he quickly made a decision. That was to abandon these two daughters! Other than this, there was no other way!

“Take Hong Xin away and let the Yan family watch over him!” The head of the Hong family ordered the guard.

Then, he asked for the elders ‘opinion with an apologetic expression,””Elders, we can only imprison Xin ‘er for now. How about we deal with her after we return to the Hong clan?”

“Yeah, that’s the only way.” The elders said helplessly. This was indeed not a good place to deal with Hong Xin.

“Clan head, Hong Xin has betrayed the clan. I’m sure the Yan clan knows our situation like the back of their hand. It’s not a wise decision to remain in a stalemate with the Yan clan!” The seventh elder spoke again.
