The Rebirth of the Strongest Female Emperor
Chapter 54: Second Elder (3)
There was no emotion on the Great Elder's face. Squinting his eyes slightly, he looked past Ye Ling and straight at the Second Elder. “Last night, four assassins broke into Ye's residence in an attempt to kill me and the family lord. Do you know about this, Second Elder? ”
The Great Elder's question surprised Ye Ling.
The Second Elder, who was completely unconscious, frowned slightly. He looked at Ye Ling anxiously, and after confirming that Ye Ling was not injured, he said in a low voice, “I have been secluded for a few days and have no idea about this incident. There are people in Lin City who actually dare to offend the Ye family?”
“Do not know about this incident?” The Great Elder suddenly sneered. “In the entire Ye family, there are only three people who can control: you, the family lord, and me. If the family master and I die, and considering that Young Miss is still too young, who do you think will be able to gain power and exercise control within the Ye family?”.
Although the Great Elder asked, everyone knew what he meant in his words.
If the Great Elder and Ye Ling died, the position of power in the Ye family would naturally fall into the hands of the Second Elder.
The Second Elder's expression darkened. “Great Elder, what do you mean by that?”
“Second Elder, the meaning of Great Elder is very clear. A smart person like you would understand?” Ye Xun looked at the Second Elder helplessly with a frown and continued. “Second Elder, do you really not understand or do you act like you do not understand? The Ye Family has always treated you fairly, and you hold an esteemed position as an Elder. My father has great respect for you, but it turns out you are too greedy. Not only are you dissatisfied with the position as an Elder, but you even want to kill others to steal their power!
The eyes of the Second Elder sharpened as he immediately looked at Ye Xun, who was full of slander.
“I have always had a clear conscience and never did anything to hurt Ye's family. Ye Xun, how dare you speak so recklessly and accuse me ?! ”
Duan Tianrao immediately raised his hand and patted the tiny hand of Ye Xun comfortably. Then, he looked at the Second Elder and said, “Second Elder, I used to call you as the Second Elder of the Ye family and have always respected your ability, Ye said, but you are a man and have to take responsibility like that. Everyone in Lin City knew that something happened in the Ye family yesterday. With Uncle Ye and the Great Elder being targeted for murder, who would dare to attack the Ye family if no profit was gained? Only you have in vain tried to steal the position of the family master and done such a terrible thing. ”
The Second Elder's expression darkened completely. He had just ended his seclusion and was completely unaware of everything that was happening outside. He never thought that when he ended his exile, he was accused of such a serious crime.
Moreover, seeing the intimate movement between Ye Xun and Duan Tianrao, the eyes of the Second Elder instantly darkened some color.
Duan Tianrao was obviously Ye Qingtang's fiancee, but now, he was actually having an affair with Ye Xun, the adopted daughter of the Ye family!
The Second Elder was wholeheartedly infatuated with martial arts and was neither married nor had children. He had long treated Ye Qingtang as his own grandson. As he looked at the two people in front of him, the one who was even accusing him, anger filled him, and he narrowed his eyes at them.
Suddenly, a powerful aura disappeared from him, and in an instant, several guards who locked his hands were thrown out by that power.
“Foolish boy, how dare you slander me!” the Second Elder commented coldly.
