The Rebirth Of The Strongest Female Emperor
Conspiracy (2)

Chapter 56: Conspiracy (2)

Ye Ling stared, with wide-eyed, at the disrespectful-looking Ye Xun.

Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that the daughter he had adopted and raised would turn into a heartless demon.

“Master, what Xun-er said is not without reason. As the head of the household, family safety is a major concern. Being lenient to such crimes is an act of complacency that will harm the interests and good name of the household. In such a case, a housekeeper had to be careful.” An elder from the Duan household voiced his advice as his gaze swept over the grim Ye Ling.

“I am the head of the family and the Second Elder is a member of my household. I can make judgments without the interference of others.” Ye Ling coldly replied.

“Uncle Ye, you shouldn't have said that. We are all part of a noble family in the same city. As such, your judgment in this case will affect us as well. ” Duan Tianrao warned.

"Silent. You are not in a position to speak. ” Ye Ling reply.

Duan Tianrao furrowed his brows, clearly displeased by that short comment.

The Great Elder came forward and said: “Master, I'm afraid you're still traumatized by yesterday's events, clouding your judgment. I think you should rest early. I'll take over from here. Don't worry, if we work together, I'm sure we can solve it. ”

With that said, he exchanged glances with the Elders from the Duan household. They had gathered at the command of the Great Elder and had intended to deal with the Second Elder from the very beginning. Now that the signal was given, they immediately attacked!

The Second Elder put on a serious and fearless face as he came face to face with that Elder.

Although Ye Ling did not expect the Great Elder to start the fight so blatantly, he was ready to fight alongside the Second Elder.

"Goddess. You are not my daughter.” Ye Ling shouted and wanted to push him out.

Duan Tianrao walked in at this moment and while protecting Ye Xun with one hand around him, he blocked Ye Ling with the other hand and said: “Uncle Ye, Xun-er did this for your own good. It was very dangerous to get involved in that fight. No one wants to see you get hurt.”

"Geez! This is none of your business!” Ye Ling warned.

Duan Tianrao remained firm without moving a single bit, “Uncle Ye, you are too soft for a housekeeper. The Great Elder thus volunteered to act on your behalf. Why are you so uncompromising? For your own safety, you gave me no choice but to keep you in control. ”

Ye Ling wrinkled her face in frustration and directly attacked Duan Tianrao!

Duan Tianrao sneered at Ye Ling in his mind.

If Ye Ling was still in her prime, she might be a worthy opponent. However, his health and strength had deteriorated in recent years and was no longer a challenge. What to look out for?

Duan Tianrao started to involve Ye Ling one on one.

Ye Xun had a worried expression on his face as he looked at their duel from the side, “Dad, Duan-lang! Please stop fighting! ” He voiced his anxiety as he tried to stop their duel, although secretly, he had interrupted between Ye Ling's blows, putting him at a further disadvantage.

On the other hand, the fight between the Elders from the Duan family and the Second Elder remained deadlocked. Even though the Second Elder was formidable, his victory was hindered by a greater number of opponents. When he saw Duan Tianrao and Ye Xun join hands against Ye Ling, he became distracted in the heat of the moment. The cunning Great Elder caught his momentary weakness, and with a single leap, he managed to get behind the Second Elder and land a fatal blow on his back.
