"Outrageous!" Yan Yang slammed the table fiercely, shouting loudly.
Yan Meishu, however, showed no weakness and instead raised her head, saying in a deep voice, "Father, the words I speak are from the heart. The rise and fall, even life and death of our Yan Family depends on the decision you make at this moment! We must not be blinded by the insignificant immediate gains; otherwise, not only will we have forsaken all our former achievements, but we might also offend Mr. Xue!"
Yan Yang let out a cold laugh in anger.
And the whole room erupted into an uproar.
"What’s gotten into the young miss? How could she be so defiant towards the Family Head for someone we haven’t met, whose authenticity is even uncertain?" someone said with a face full of astonishment.
"Indeed! Ever since returning from the Border City, Miss Yan seems to have gone mad, always talking about Mr. Xue, constantly mentioning Mr. Xue! But the problem is, does this Mr. Xue even exist, or is it all still unclear?" someone else said with a sneer.
"Exactly! If we listened to the young mistress, it would seem like everything that happened in Lihen Heaven was done by this Mr. Xue, but how can that be possible?" another person said with a look of disdain.
Amidst the boiling discussions, Yan Meishu remained entirely undisturbed, standing quietly, looking up at her father.
Yan Yang’s face was looking very unpleasant at this time.
Because he never expected his most esteemed daughter to dare to talk back to him publicly.
This filled his heart with rage.
But before he could speak up, Yan Mengtao had already gracefully stepped out from the crowd and first paid her respects to Yan Yang, "My dear father, please calm your anger!"
Then she turned her head, looking at Yan Meishu with a playful face.
"Tsk, tsk, elder sister, I truly admire you! You actually dare to talk back to our father in public. Aren’t you afraid of breaking father’s heart by doing so?"
These words seemed to be averting a dispute, but in fact, they were pouring oil on the fire.
In reality, Yan Mengtao was already excited as soon as she saw Yan Meishu step forward to speak because she knew her elder sister’s character very well.
Sure enough.
In just a couple of sentences, Yan Meishu had started a confrontation with their father.
When Yan Mengtao saw the anger in Yan Yang’s eyes, she knew the moment was ripe.
She could take this opportunity to sufficiently diminish Yan Meishu’s prestige.
That’s why she hurried to intervene and speak.
At this moment, facing Yan Mengtao’s questioning, Yan Meishu had a somber expression and gave her sister a cold glance.
"For the rise and fall, the life and death of the Yan Family, even if it upsets our father, I must speak!"
Yan Mengtao was inwardly overjoyed by hearing this, for Yan Meishu’s words were simply playing with fire.
Sure enough.
The complexion on Yan Yang’s face became so gloomy it seemed water could drip from it; with a snort of anger, he looked away from her.
Yan Mengtao became even more complacent and said with a face full of mockery, "Yan Meishu, setting aside your disrespect to our father, I ask you just one question, are you so certain that this so-called Mr. Xue will appear?"
Yan Meishu nodded, "Of course I’m certain! Because before he left, he said that the one he wanted to deal with was the Domain Lord of this realm, Lord Lihen, and as you all have seen, Lord Lihen is now dead! This naturally proves that Mr. Xue has achieved it! Do you still have any doubts about it?"
Many people of the Yan Family heard this and their expressions changed slightly.
Because no matter what, Lord Lihen was indeed dead, how could that be explained?
Yet Yan Mengtao remained utterly unconcerned and instead scoffed, "Well! Even if this Mr. Xue has shown his might and killed Lord Lihen, haven’t you thought about it? It has been more than ten days since the incident occurred. With so much time passed without his appearance, could it be that he has perished alongside Lord Lihen?"
