The Rebirth of the Strongest Female Emperor

07: Breaking the Engagement 3

"Uncle Ye, as one of the heads of the family, do you consider what I said wrong?" Duan Tianrao finally revealed his true character. He had long known from Ye Xun that the Great Elder was the one who currently held the government within the Ye household and Ye Ling was only the head of the family alone.

"You …." Ye Ling was trembling with anger.

As Ye Xun watched this scene unfold before her, a subtle grin appeared on her lips, which she wiped away in an instant before putting on a face full of worry:

"Dad, please calm down."

"Quiet down? How do you expect me to calm down from this?" Ye Ling replied.

Ye Xun stared for a moment, at the tall and charming Duan Tianrao before saying: "Master Duan has his own problems, as the heir to the head of the Duan household, it is his duty to uphold the dignity of his family above all else. "Please understand, dad. Tang Tang was young, he was sure to find another suitor in the years to come."

"What did you say?" Ye Ling was puzzled as she stared in disbelief, at her adopted daughter whom she had raised since her youth. It was hard to imagine that at a time like this, Ye Xun would choose to support Duan Tianrao instead.

Ye Xun shifted her gaze from the enraged Ye Ling to the ever-silent Ye Qingtang, while placing before him, the Essence Vital that Duan Tianrao had given her.

"Tang Tang, Sir. Duan still has the best interest in your heart, you can tell from all the hardships that he went through, only to find this Vital Essence for your sake." A cold glint could be seen from Ye Xun's eyes as she spoke. .

To his knowledge, he was sure that Ye Qingtang was infatuated with Duan Tianrao. There was no way she would receive a gift in exchange for her consent in breaking off the engagement. In fact, he was more likely to beg desperately for Duan Tianrao to change his mind.

Hence, this Essence Vital remained his in the end.

While hiding such thoughts, Ye Xun remained in her gentle and encouraging manner.

Ye Qingtang watched his facade with cold eyes and a humbling grin in his heart.

Without consideration, his sadness embarrassed the Ye family, including Ye Ling, who vomited blood from anger.

But now, things are different ….

Ye Qingtang played a smile on his lips, and while Ye Xun was indulging himself, he took out a bottle of Vital Essence with his hand.

“Then, thank you, Mr. Duan, for your benevolent consideration.” With that, he inserted the bottle into his dimension ring.

The whole process happens quickly.

And while Ye Ling was still blinded by anger, Ye Qingtang suddenly commented:

"Dad, I agree with Mr. Duan's sentiment."

The three present became shocked at Ye Qingtang's sudden statement.

Duan Tianrao widened his eyes in shock. Initially, she had assumed that Ye Qingtang would definitely whine and cry at her intention to call off the engagement, she would never expect such a reaction from him.

Ye Ling was also surprised. He looked at his daughter with worried eyes, afraid that she might go mad from destruction.

"Tang Tang …. What are you talking about?"

Ye Qingtang, while remaining seated, looked at the dumbfounded trio before speaking calmly: "As a woman, I understand how awkward it is when her engagement is cancelled, she said, but since Mr. Duan was already the heir of the Duan 's household, it was natural for him to prioritize his family's standing, and besides, I was indeed no match for the First Lady's position.
