The Rebirth Of The Strongest Empress
Chapter 55: Collusion (1)
Duan Tianrao instinctively protected Ye Xun as he clearly felt a powerful aura surging madly from within the Second Elder.
Upon seeing the two, the faces of the Duan Family Elders darkened, and they leaped forward Duan Tianrao and Ye Xun to block them.
“Second Elder, this matter has nothing to do with the slander of others. You know very well what you are doing, ”an Elder from the Duan family said in a low voice.
“What do I do?” The Second Elder sneered. “I have been in seclusion for a long time and have never once left a single step behind. Never did I think that you would all accuse me like this!
Seeing the strength of the Second Elder getting more and more berserk, another Elder from the Duan family protected Duan Tianrao while ridiculing. “If you want to do it, why do you do it personally? As Elders too, we know that you arrange for your minions to deliver food and clothing to you every day while you are in exile. It is not impossible if you entrust this matter to your henchmen. ”
Ye Ling understood the situation very clearly after seeing the commotion. He was initially confused by the reason for the Duan family's presence, but now it seemed like the Great Elder had come with preparations. He failed to get Ye Ling killed yesterday, and now, he really wanted to push the responsibility of evil on the Second Elder!
Ye Ling was not stupid. He was well aware of the reason why the Great Elder wanted to get rid of the Second Elder.
In the entire Ye family, only the abilities of the Second Elder could compete with the Great Elder. If the Second Elder dies, the Great Elder can freely handle Ye Ling and Ye Qingtang.
The Great Elder looked at Ye Ling and replied without much emotion. “Family master, I know that you are very close to the Second Elder, but there is an old saying: You may know a person's face, but not his heart. The Second Elder had been secluding himself lately, but such a big incident happened in the Ye family. If you and I died, the Ye family would naturally fall in his hands, and it was precisely because he was in seclusion that outsiders would not suspect him at all. This was all his plan for a long time. You shouldn't be blinded by his deception. ”
Ye Ling's face turned dark. He would definitely not believe it if anyone said the Second Elder was unfaithful. Moreover, he already knew from last night that the assassins were sent by the Great Elder. Whatever the Great Elder said today was simply to blame the Second Elder.
Yet…
Although Ye Ling knew who the real killer was, she understood the situation before her.
Even if he were to say that the Great Elder was the one who employed assassins, there would be no meaning at all.
Ye Xun had long been friends with the Great Elder, and the Duan family would naturally stand on the side of the Great Elder. Even if Ye Ling tried to reveal the true color of the Great Elder in front of everyone, the Great Elder would only seize the opportunity and silence him!
“Dad, Great Elder did this for you and the well-being of the Ye family. The Second Elder had malicious intentions and was planning to steal the position of Family Master. You should not care about your past friendship with her and be gentle. If not, there will be endless trouble. Even if you don't think about it yourself, you should think about Tang Tang.” Ye Xun said with a false worried tone. He persuaded Ye Ling on the surface, but in reality, he showed Ye Qingtang to force Ye Ling to prioritize Ye Qingtang's safety. If Ye Ling were to defend the Second Elder forcefully, they would not guarantee Ye Qingtang's safety.
