Chapter 345: Bai Shao’s Disappearance
Truthfully speaking, it really was getting angered by them to the point of laughing. Nearly two hundred people died in Linchuan River. What the situation was specifically, ordinary commoners may not know, but for them, they have fixed channels of information. Ruthless in killing, not leaving any survivors, the entire Chuanzhou Fu was all shaking in fear. Whoever Jin Qinwang says he will skin, he will absolutely skin alive, and definitely one that says what he ans. Yet, to actually say he doesn’t dare to? Hehe………
That good clan leader of theirs was just educating the younger generation like this? The clansn of the Pei clan that knew what circumstances the Pei clan was in weren’t few. Just, for the sake of the clan’s internal stability, no one prodded it out, all separately working hard on their own. But, the main family? All just a bunch of morons like this?
“Have them all taken down, and without my permission, don’t let them take a step out of their rooms.”
Even if not favored in the main residence, in front of the other clansn, they still believed themselves to be even more honorable. Never mind the twin sisters, the rest naturally won’t sit still, “What right does clan uncle have to do this?”
The man right now didn’t want to waste his breath with these idiots, directly waving his hand, letting the servants forcibly take them away.
After taking care of these idiots, he looked towards the inside of the room again, his temples suddenly pulsing. Although he didn’t want to have dealings with the clan leader, right now simply wasn’t the ti to bicker about this. The family clan’s life and death absolutely can’t be joked about. He ordered soone to quickly rush back to the ancestral residence, and at the sa ti, even sent letters to the other relatively important clansn to jointly discuss an important matter.
However, things really weren’t that simple. The people that got sent out all returned not long after, “What happened?”
“Old master, not long after we left the family gates, we just got intercepted, and the letters all got confiscated. Near the residence there’s a lot, a lot of black clad guards.”
The man weakly collapsed onto the chair. It’s over. The Pei clan this ti, afraid, really won’t be able to be saved.
His wife and children were all by his side. They weren’t the kind of people that would be muddled by the title of an influential clan. Not one wasn’t deathly pale, their expression fearful. For a mont, no one spoke. The room was terribly quiet No less than a cup of tea’s ti had passed, “Father, how about we divide out from the ancestry[1]? And if the main family won’t agree, then just voluntarily request to be expelled from the clan.”
Getting expelled from the clan, this kind of thing, wasn’t a joking matter. Under normal circumstances, that was having committed an enormous mistake. After getting removed from the clan, even if it wasn’t their fault, it would still be their fault.
However, at this mont, the people present all didn’t feel there was anything wrong with this, even having a trace of hope on their face.
As the head of the family, he naturally also thought of this bit, but at this ti right now, this kind of thing can’t be rashly done. If done, it was just throwing stones at soone who fell, being ungrateful and turning one’s back. Once the reputation is ruined, in the future, regardless of what one wants to do, at least, in a certain period of ti, it will all be very difficult to establish oneself. Unless absolutely necessary, this kind of step definitely can’t be taken.
But, if Jin Qinwang really wants to make a move on the entire Pei clan, then their final outco may not necessarily be better than voluntarily requesting to be expelled from the clan.
“…………..Even if alternatively defecting, Jin Qinwang may not necessarily be happy either, perhaps might even bitterly detest even more. Didn’t that good clan leader of ours, precisely because of acting on assumptions, thus suffered a huge loss. In fact, even now, he’s still unaware. Moreover, even if voluntarily requesting to be removed from the clan, it’s probably also too late. That’s why, we can’t be careless, absolutely can’t be careless. This matter, allow to think over, properly think over again.” He stroked his beard again and again, occasionally exerting too much force unintentionally, accidentally pulling out a few strands of beard, yet seemingly completely unaware.
Everyone once again sunk into silence. This absolutely wasn’t a laughing matter.
More importantly, right now, they knew inside information. Jin Qinwang, for the sake of better achieving his goal, this family of theirs, don’t even think about leaving Chuanzhou Fu. That’s right, even if wanting to have the children in the family arranged to elsewhere, it was all impossible. Clearly, it wasn’t them that incurred disaster, yet just because of coincidence, they have to directly face Jin Qinwang’s fury.
This silence just lasted for an hour, “Go prepare a generous gift. I’ll go request an audience with Jin Qinwang.” Precisely the so called ‘to untie a knot, need the person who tied the knot’. As long as Jin Qinwang relents, this matter naturally will be over with. As for what will happen to the main family and the other clansn, right now, all powerless to preserve oneself, so who would still bother with them, and moreover, one is unable to tend to anyways.”
Have to say, this was also considered the only advantage of coincidentally running into the point of the blade.
Speaking of which, no matter how generous this gift was, it was also just that. After all, Jin Qinwang wasn’t one that lacked money, and further didn’t lack good things. No matter how expensive of an item, no matter how rare of a plaything, Li Hong Yuan would all have a way to get his hands on. Many tis, rather than rarity, it was better to go with sothing to one’s liking.
Everyone all understood this reasoning. The head of the family’s wife imdiately went to prepare. Everything else aside, the most prominent two things, one was two pairs of jade pogranate, each one all larger than fists, the transparency level high, and more importantly, the cracked veins were perfectly split. And the two exposed rows of pogranate seeds were bright red and lustrous. At a glance, one would even think they were real. The auspicious aning also good, and the value in itself also sufficient. For the sake of the whole family, one can only endure the pain and part with one’s beloved treasure. As for the other thing, knowing that Jin Wangfei loves plants and flowers, there just happened to be a pot of callia at ho. This was the head of the family’s treasure.
The gifts along with the invitation card were sent to the villa Jin Qinwang was currently residing in, and afterwards, can only nervously wait.
After finishing up on this side, the servants finally ca to report Pei Xiu Ying’s condition. The situation was much worse than expected. The injuries on the body rather weren’t that serious, just needing ti to recover. The problem was her teeth has loosened, and the possibility of falling out in the end was over seventy percent. Additionally, it was just the hair. Because it was vigorously tugged over a large surface area, large chunks of the scalp on the top of the head had co off, with blood amassing under the scalp. Those hair most likely will all fall off entirely. This for a woman was definitely fatal, especially for one that still hasn’t married, and exceptionally cares about one’s appearance.
After hearing the report, never mind the head of the family, the others were also the sa, all not knowing what kind of expression to make.
Then, thinking again to the clan leader madam who was still unconscious in the room, just hanging by a thread, not knowing whether or not able to wake up, it truly was feeling more stifled the more one thought.
It was another whole night of difficult sleep. The only thing worth rejoicing was that the gifts that were sent out didn’t get returned. Then, there was still a thread of hope.
Fortunately, the next day, Jin Qinwang gave a reply. The family head of this Pei clan residence worked up his spirits and took his eldest son to go et Jin Qinwang.
Naturally it was being extrely deferential and respectful, cautious and careful in their speech. So words, they also didn’t dare to say bluntly, but that aning was also relatively obvious, just asking Jin Qinwang whether or not there was leeway to redy the situation. If there is, asking Jin Qinwang to please point out a clear path, just asking to be able to preserve the whole family, and will certainly go through fire and water, ready to risk one’s life to assist.
Li Hong Yuan calmly took a sip of tea, “If the Pei clan from the start was just this honest and well-behaved, why would this prince waste that much energy.”
The father and son pair didn’t dare to respond. Although it wasn’t their decision, but as the saying goes, one brush can’t write out two Pei(裴).
“Enough, seeing on behalf of those jade pogranates, this whole family of yours, this prince can spare, but what one shouldn’t do, don’t do.” That kind of auspicious thing getting tainted with the scent of blood ultimately won’t be too good.
“Many thanks wangye, many thanks wangye.” This was definitely joy beyond one’s expectations.
However, on that day, another unpleasant matter happened. Bai Shao disappeared.
[1] Dividing out from the ancestry is essentially dividing out of the clan. Unlike dividing the family when the parents die, where it’s just establishing a branch as its own household, but overall still part of the clan, dividing out of the clan ans establishing your own clan separate from the original, and no longer considered part of the original clan.
