“Cough cough!” Yin ping saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff and coughed lightly twice, pulling the elders ‘minds back.
“Clan head Yin Dai, the elders have no objections. You can decide how to deal with this matter.” Leng ruoxue chuckled in a good mood. Her participation in the elder’s meeting this time was not in vain. Not only did she get the position of third elder for no reason, but she also took the opportunity to deal with Xiao LAN and Yin bang, the two villains who colluded with each other. Her hard work in acting was not in vain.
“Since the elders have no objections, I will now announce my decision on Yin bang! First, remove elder Yin bang from his position and inform the entire clan. Second, banish the entire Yin bang clan to flowing Wind Valley, never to return to the main city. If there are no objections, then I will announce these two decisions on behalf of the patriarch and the elder Council. ” Yin ping looked at the elders present and said.
“Master! Yin bang only lent the token to Xiao LAN. Isn’t this punishment a bit heavy?” An elder who had a good relationship with Yin bang looked at Yin Ping’s expression and said carefully.
“Heavy? What was Yin bang’s purpose in lending out the token? Don’t you know how serious the consequences are?” Yin ping asked coldly. He didn’t believe that these elders, who shared the same pants as Yin bang, didn’t know what Yin bang’s goal was and what Xiao LAN had done! This was the best opportunity to get rid of Yin bang, so he would not let it go. This time, Yin bang could forget about turning the tables.
“Substitute patriarch Yin, there’s no need for you to be so angry. I’m sure many of the elders present don’t know what kind of consequences elder bang’s token has caused. Why don’t you order someone to bring the consequences in?” Leng ruoxue laughed coldly.
“Good! Bring in the grapes and lotus seeds. ” Yin ping nodded his head and ordered the guards beside him.
The guards received the orders of the acting family head and soon carried two stretchers into the meeting hall. The elders who were sitting looked at the two bloody women on the stretchers, whose faces could not be seen, and were shocked! Ugh! Were these two the grape and lotus seed that the acting family head had mentioned? How did he end up like this? Among those present, other than a portion of the elders who understood the truth, many of the elders were confused.
Previously, they had heard from Leng ruoxue and the others that Xiao LAN had tortured the two maidservants of the yin family. However, they did not expect Xiao LAN to be so harsh. One should know that even the yin family would not torture their clansmen who had committed a crime. At most, they would send them to a remote place and let them fend for themselves. However, Xiao Lan’s methods were clearly beyond their understanding, which made them a little angry.
The yin family had made a mistake, but they themselves were not willing to take action! Now, the two maidservants in the prison had been beaten by an outsider. This was a huge humiliation to the yin family. Therefore, in an instant, the anger in their hearts was ignited.
“Clan head, Xiao LAN actually beat up our clansmen like this. We can’t just let this matter go. We must punish Xiao LAN severely.” An elder shouted with righteous indignation.
“Right! Punish Xiao LAN severely. Since when did outsiders have the right to attack our Yin clan’s people! This is preposterous!” A single stone caused a thousand ripples. After seeing the two maidservants covered in injuries, most of the elders were furious.
Leng ruoxue watched all of this coldly from the side and laughed coldly in her heart. This was exactly the result she wanted. She wanted to clear Xiao LAN of the suspicion of stealing the token so that Yin bang would be dragged into this mess as well. The token in Xiao Lan’s hands was not stolen, so Yin bang would be charged with the crime of betraying others and colluding with outsiders to harm his clansmen. In this way, Yin bang’s reputation would be ruined, and his clansmen would all cast him aside! Oh! Could this be considered as indirectly helping Yin ping, the acting family head?
Seeing the fierce looks on the elders ‘faces, Xiao LAN was a little scared. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears as she cried,””It’s not my fault. Yin bang gave me the token, and he was the one who asked me to interrogate these two maidservants. ”
“You’re just an outsider. What right do you have to question our Yin clan’s people? even if it’s just two servant girls who made a mistake, you don’t have the right!” A tall and fierce-looking elder angrily rebuked.
“There’s no need for this elder to be so angry. In truth, my two maidservants did not do anything wrong, but Yin bang insisted on accusing them of stealing the things your head butler had given me. He even domineeringly locked them up and incited miss LAN to torture them. The true cause of this incident was my beast that had bitten miss LAN. Yin bang wanted to avenge her, so these two maidservants are completely innocent. They should not have been treated like this. ” Leng ruoxue said with a pained expression.
Her words caused many of the yin family’s elders who were considered upright to fall silent. After all, this kind of thing was not uncommon in large families, and it was rare for people to bring this matter up in public because of the two maidservants. However, Leng ruoxue had revealed the truth behind the scenes today, so they had no choice but to take it seriously. Even the elders who had thought that the punishment given to Yin bang by the substitute family head was too heavy did not dare to make a sound.
After a moment of silence, Leng ruoxue smiled and said,””The truth of the matter is already known to all the elders. If you have any opinions or thoughts, everyone can speak freely.”
“Acting patriarch, I think Yin bang’s punishment is a bit light! He’s such a traitor, and he doesn’t care about the morality of his race. We can’t let him off easily! We should expel him from the clan and inform the entire divine realm!” An elder suggested.
“I agree!”
“I also agree!” As soon as this elder spoke, it immediately received the response of many elders.
“I’ll consider your opinions, but expelling Yin bang from the clan is no small matter. I’ll have to ask the patriarch for instructions before I can make a final decision. As for Xiao LAN, you can deal with her however you want. There’s no need to give us face. ” Yin ping thought for a while and said. He didn’t want the elders to let Xiao LAN go just because of their relationship with her. In this way, he would have something to criticize in the hands of the elders. Now that he had lost his previous good impression of Xiao LAN, he naturally wouldn’t care about her life or death. Moreover, what Xiao LAN had done was indeed intolerable to the yin family.
“Uncle! You can’t leave me alone! It was Yin bang who made me do it! He said that he would think of a way to avenge me and even said that he would hand Leng ruoxue and the two maidservants over to me to deal with. I was also eager to take revenge, which was why I got involved with him! Uncle! Please help me!” After hearing Yin Ping’s words, Xiao LAN, who was already a little scared, became even more nervous. It was as if the end of the world had arrived. Her face was covered in tears, and she looked as pitiful as she could be.
However, not many of the elders present would pity her! Who asked her to do something that had already exceeded the yin family’s bottom line? As one of the eight great divine regions, how could the yin family tolerate an outsider riding on top of their own family?
“Clan head Yin Dai, Xiao LAN has injured my two maidservants so severely. Shouldn’t you give them an explanation?” Leng ruoxue smiled and said.
“What kind of explanation do you want?” Yin ping was a little surprised. He knew that Leng ruoxue wouldn’t let Xiao LAN off so easily, but he didn’t know how she was going to deal with Xiao LAN.
“I like to give her a taste of her own medicine. Since Xiao LAN has severely injured my maidservant, there’s no reason for her to be alive.” Leng ruoxue said without a trace of emotion.
“Then I’ll leave Xiao LAN to you.” Yin ping sighed lightly and said straightforwardly. He didn’t expect that Leng ruoxue would actually be willing to stand up for two maidservants. One must know that these two maidservants were members of their Yin clan! As the acting clan head of the yin clan, even though he could not act as he pleased like Leng ruoxue, he still had the authority to hand over Xiao LAN to them.
“Then I won’t hold back. After grape and Lianzi are done with their revenge, I will return Xiao LAN to you.” Leng ruoxue smiled in satisfaction.
“Yes.” Yin ping nodded his head. Although he really wanted to say that he didn’t need to return it, he didn’t say it out loud.
“No! Uncle, don’t give me to her!” When Xiao LAN heard that Yin ping wanted to hand her over to Leng ruoxue, she panicked and cried out in alarm. However, she was ignored by Yin ping.
“Aunt! Don’t let uncle hand me over to someone else! I’m begging you! Aunt!” Seeing that her uncle wasn’t even looking at her, Xiao LAN had no choice but to ask Xiao Lin for help. However, Xiao Lin had also turned her head and looked to the other side.
At this moment, Leng ruoxue stood up from her seat and took out two pills from her bangle. She stuffed them into grape and Lotus’s mouths. Not long after, the two maidservants stood up from the rack. Even though their clothes were still stained with blood that caused one’s heart to palpitate, the two of them knew very well that their injuries had all healed. It was just that their clothes were still a little scary.
“Miss!” After the two of them stood up, they looked at Leng ruoxue gratefully. Even though their minds were not very clear, they had heard the contents of the confrontation intermittently and knew that Leng ruoxue had done a lot for them. Hence, at this moment, their hearts were filled with gratitude and admiration for Leng ruoxue.
“The substitute clan head has already agreed to let you take revenge on Xiao LAN. Why don’t you quickly thank him?” Leng ruoxue pointed at Xiao LAN, who was still struggling on her deathbed, and said to the two maidservants.
“Thank you for acting patriarch’s fairness and severity.” Grape and lotus seed bowed and said.
“You have been wronged. The family should seek justice for you.” Yin ping said with some shame.
“Acting family head, we really didn’t take anything from the young lady. The young lady would give us anything she has. Why should we steal it?” Grape thought for a while and said.
“I know! I’m already clear on this matter. ” Yin ping said helplessly. He was already cursing Yin bang in his heart.
“House master Yin Dai, elder bang can be released from the inner hall.” Leng ruoxue reminded him with a faint smile.
“Yes, go and invite Yin bang out.” Yin ping ordered the guard beside him.
Yin bang, who was in the inner hall, was worried that Xiao LAN would expose what had happened between them. However, when he saw that the guard who had gone to invite him out was still respectful, he was slightly relieved.
When he came out, he saw that the elders ‘expressions were normal, and Xiao LAN was standing at the side like a wooden block. He felt more at ease.
“Xiao LAN! How dare you steal my token! You really don’t want to live anymore!” Yin bang shouted, trying to prove his innocence.
