Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 117

Chapter 117

Faced with the clan leader's rejection, Tang Chujun did not hesitate, "This matter is not urgent, we will discuss it later."

"No need to discuss it further," a clan elder said forcefully, "There is no such precedent in the Shi family, and there is no such precedent in the North Wing."

Tang Chujun's eyebrows darkened, "Why can't the He family set such a precedent? Today's emperor is wise and open-minded, and he will definitely not stop it."

"Then let's wait until the emperor gives an explicit order! Genealogy is a sacred thing, passed down by a family, and you are not allowed to do anything wrong." Another clan elder twisted a few long beards and taught people a lesson, "Don't even think about using the property of the Duke's Palace. The forces are here to force us, an old man, to submit. To put it bluntly, their government does not dare to modify the genealogy at will."

Zheng Qiaoer smiled slightly when he heard this, "That's what the old man said."

The elders: “…” I thought they were going to have a quarrel, why are you joining in?

Tang Chujun didn't expect the clan elders to readily agree to modify the family tree, it was just a foreshadowing.

Shi Anxia smiled coolly and said gently, "Grandpas are right, genealogy is indeed a sacred thing. Mother, please sit down. The most urgent thing now is to deal with other things first."

Tang Chujun sat back in his seat cooperatively and heard his daughter say in a deep voice, "Doctor Shen, please come in!"

After a moment, Dr. Shen stepped into the main hall and saw many people sitting and standing in front of Wu Yangyang. He felt like he was seeing a three-chamber trial, and his heart trembled.

The food of rich families is not delicious.

He took a deep breath and said loudly, "The food in Haitang Courtyard is poisonous tonight!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of palace guards carried a large and exquisitely carved mahogany table into the Houde Hall.

The table was filled with delicious and fragrant dishes, as well as four pairs of chopsticks and four empty bowls. All the servants in Haitangyuan were also neatly arranged around the table.

Aunt Wen and Mother Liu were escorted in with cloth strips stuffed in their mouths and their hands tied behind their backs. When they saw the people in Houde Hall, both of them were stunned, their whimpers stuck in their throats, and they even forgot to struggle.

The clan leader was puzzled, "How are you sure it's poisonous? Do you know who poisoned it?"

Shi Anxia's eyes were dark, "Of course I know. Otherwise, mother wouldn't have invited the clan elders to be witnesses all night long."

She turned around and her calm eyes fell on the two embarrassed people, "Aunt Wen, are you so eager to harm me and mother? Do you know that if you eat this meal tonight, not only the people in our Marquis Mansion will die?" People, and the eldest lady of the Duke Protector’s Mansion!”

When the cloth in Aunt Wen's mouth was taken out, tears and snot flew from her nose, and she shouted at the top of her lungs, "You are harming me! It's not me! It's not me who poisoned me! Tang Chujun, you don't deserve to die! You robbed my son, but you also let your daughter Come and harm me!”

A woman stepped forward and slapped Aunt Wen on the face, almost breaking her jaw.

Shi Anxia looked at Xiyue and nodded.

Xiyue understood and stepped aside to get out of the way. Chen Yuan came in carrying a tied-up middle-aged man in one hand.

The two of them also had cloth strips stuffed in their mouths, whimpering and looking at Aunt Wen for help.

Aunt Wen's pupils suddenly dilated.

Mrs. Shi couldn't help but stand up, "Sister Xia, what on earth are you going to do?"

Of those two men, one was Aunt Wen's brother and the other was Aunt Wen's younger brother. They were both from Mrs. Shi's natal family.

Shi Anxia turned around slowly and said without any emotion in her voice, "Grandma, don't worry about it. My granddaughter is just inviting them to a meal."

Aunt Wen and Mother Liu looked at each other and, not knowing what they thought of, they both closed their mouths.

While talking, Chen Yuan threw the two men from the Wen family to several palace guards standing by.

The guards escorted them to kneel down at the table, pulled off the cloth from their mouths, pulled out a big knife and put it against their necks and ordered, "Eat!"

Xiyue calmly placed two plates of food in front of the two Wen brothers, and then a woman came forward and poured the food into their mouths.

Mrs. Shi was so angry that her whole body was shaking, she slapped the table hard and shouted, "Stop! Stop! Girl Xia, tell them to stop!"
