Chapter 456 - 381 Plot Twist_3
Xiaofeng had just begun to understand.
Ye Cheng’s right to inherit was not set in stone; if Ye Cheng had a bad reputation, or if everyone unanimously agreed that Ye Cheng had poor character, then, they could jointly petition to revoke Acheng’s inheritance rights.
Therefore, today, that is, right now.
This matter must be dealt with clearly.
"Miss Su," Lady Cheng felt that Xiaofeng’s words were rather absurd: "Although you are Mr. Quan’s daughter, it is not strange that you, having been raised in the countryside since childhood, are unaware of how things are handled among the people of the Imperial Capital. This matter is not at all serious, why must you be so stubborn, letting others laugh at you? You’ve just returned to the Imperial Capital, isn’t it embarrassing if people mock you?"
"Embarrassing?" Xiaofeng scoffed lightly: "What could be more embarrassing than someone slandering my husband to my face? As for today’s matter, I simply cannot let it be trivialized."
"Madam Quan, look at your daughter, she’s become quite unreasonable, hasn’t she? This matter is really a trifle, isn’t it resolved if Young Master Gu just clarifies he did not harass any servants? Now, there’s even the issue of the Xu Family poisoning Young Master Gu, if this matter blows up, nobody will look good in the end."
To put it bluntly, even if the Xu Family did poison Young Master Gu, given the Xu Family’s power, could the Gu Family really afford to make a fuss in front of so many people?
Chu Qing smiled gracefully, her eyes full of doting: "Who is Young Master Gu? He is the lifeline of the Gu Family, the future Family Head of the Gu Family, and also the leader of all the families in the future. If he were to suffer any mishap, it’s not just a loss for the Gu Family but for all of us as well. With Young Master Gu’s health at stake, I believe my daughter is doing the right thing. This matter must be handled with care, and there can be no negligence."
Listening to Chu Qing’s words, the other ladies exchanged looks, feeling both angry and resentful.
