Conspiracy (1)

Chapter 55: Conspiracy (1)

Sensing that the wave of great power of the Second Elder had turned destructive, Duan Tianrao instinctively protected Ye Xun.

The elders from the Duan household hurriedly moved to protect the couple after realizing the impending danger.

“Nobody here is tarnishing your name. You know what you do.” An Elder warned seriously.

“What do I do?” The Second Elder laughed contemptuously. "I've been practicing seclusion for too long, giving people like you time to make false accusations during my absence!"

The frenzied Second Elder encouraged the Elders to increase their vigilance.

"It's obvious you're capable of committing a crime without being there directly, perhaps by making a hidden arrangement with one of your confidants or servants?" one of the Elders coldly replied.

Now, Ye Ling had realized the purpose of this failure. He had pondered the motives of the people from the Duan family, but now he could clearly say that they were part of the Great Elder's conspiracy to frame the Second Elder for the failed assassination!

Ye Ling knew very well why the Great Elder wanted to eliminate the Second Elder. In terms of strength, the Second Elder was the only equivalent to the Great Elder in the Ye household. If he left, the Great Elder would be able to face Ye Ling and Ye Qingtang without restraint.

The Great Elder glanced at Ye Ling. “Master, I know you are on good terms with Second Elder. But as the old saying goes, you can't judge a book by its cover. Such a thing only happened during his absence. Our death will mean the household falls into his hands. He was in seclusion at the same time too perfect to cover up. Don't you think this situation is too favorable for him to be a mere coincidence? Believing he is innocent will play in his hands, ”he said indifferently.

Ye Ling's face was clouded. He would never believe the allegations. Moreover, he knew that the mastermind behind the assassination attempt was the Great Elder himself. What surprised him was the Great Elder's courage and ruthlessness in making such a claim to trap the Second Elder.

Yet…

Even if he had all this information, the cold and harsh truth before him made him aware…

Even if he revealed what he knew, it would still be meaningless…

Everyone present, including Ye Xun, was on the side of the Great Elder. If he acted rashly and revealed the truth, the Great Elder would seize the opportunity to eliminate him as well!

“Dad, Great Elder only cares about your well-being and our household. Denying the Second Elder's crimes for the sake of the past will not work. Better to be safe than sorry. Be firm on this. Even if it wasn't for yourself, consider it as a guarantee for Tang Tang's safety,” Ye Xun voiced her concern, even though it was just a facade. His advice seemed sincere but mentioning Ye Qingtang served as a veiled warning to Ye Ling that the safety of her daughter would not be guaranteed if she refused to cooperate.

Seriate...
