Chapter 2238
2238 Top-grade witness (1)
The day after the Man in Black left, the ning family’s master and the other seven family Masters were invited into the Yao family again.
Originally, the seven of them didn’t want to go, but the Yao family head used the poison as an excuse, so they had to go unwillingly.
On the way, the master of the ning family asked with concern,””Elder Yao Jiu, has your patriarch’s illness been cured?”
When elder Yao Jiu heard this, he was clearly stunned. Then, he reacted and suppressed his anger.”Master ning, my master is not sick!”
“Not sick? Then why did we hear that more and more people from the Yao family were poisoned, and that the head of the Yao family was also poisoned and was currently in quarantine?” The head of the Cheng clan asked in surprise.
The head of the family is in quarantine, and you still dare to come? Hearing these words, elder Yao Jiu couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, but he still put on a pained expression and said,””Patriarchs, my patriarch is perfectly fine! Besides, if something really happens to him, do you still dare to follow me to the Yao family?”
His original intention was to say,”none of you are stupid. You know that the master has something to do, but you still dare to go.” However, the master of the Cheng family and the others pretended not to know.
The head of the Cheng clan said carefully,””The reason we agreed to go to the Yao family was to verify the authenticity of the rumors. But if something really happened to your family head, even if we go, we won’t see him. So, he can’t harm us!”
“It is! He knew that he was sick, but he still invited us to discuss about being poisoned. Isn’t he clearly trying to trick us? Patriarchs, we have to be more careful and take protective measures in advance. Otherwise, if the old man of the Yao family goes crazy, we’ll be in trouble. ” The master of the yin family agreed.
At this time, the master of the ning family, who was already laughing in his heart, reminded him with a serious face,””Right! Everyone be careful later, don’t get bitten by the Yao family’s old man, otherwise, we might be implicated by him!”
As he listened to the clan heads cursing their own clan heads one after another, elder Yao Jiu was so angry that his face turned ashen, and he almost flew into a rage!
F * ck! His master didn’t have rabies, so how could he bite people?
No, his master wasn’t sick at all! It was even more impossible for it to bite!
Elder Yao Jiu was so angry that he secretly cursed. However, no matter how he said it, he felt that something was wrong. Then, he felt the strange and frightened gazes of the other clan heads, and instantly, he felt even more depressed!
Damn it! These people wouldn’t think that he had been poisoned, right?
In fact, he was right!
The Chi family and the other patriarchs saw elder Yao Jiu’s face flicker between light and dark, green and purple, and truly felt that he was also showing signs of being poisoned. In an instant, all the patriarchs made a decision and jumped thirty feet away from elder Yao Jiu.
This scene caused hazy white smoke to rise from the back of elder Yao Jiu’s head! This further confirmed the rumor that the Yao family was mentally unstable. Coincidentally, this scene was seen by the spies sent by the surrounding forces. Therefore, the spies quickly sent the news back. As for whether the news would change after reaching the destination, it was not within their scope of judgment!
Of course, elder Yao Jiu didn’t notice any of this at the moment. Otherwise, he would have died of anger.
As for elder Yao Jiu, he took a few deep breaths and decided not to argue with these hateful people. However, the truth was that they were all distinguished family heads. Even if he wanted to argue with them, they wouldn’t take it seriously. It was the same logic as the ruler of a country not arguing with the errand boys of another country!
To put it bluntly, he didn’t have enough weight. If it was his own family head, he could really make a fuss if he wanted to. When it came to him, there was only one word that could describe his situation, and that was ‘tolerance’!
After thinking through all this, elder Yao Jiu quickly calmed down and argued with a serious expression,””Family heads, my family head is currently alive and kicking without any problems, so please don’t believe in rumors. You should know that rumors are forbidden to the wise. I believe that you are all people with great wisdom and can naturally make an accurate judgment.”
Upon hearing this, the few family heads who wished for the world to be in chaos blinked a few times. Then, they looked at elder Yao Jiu in admiration and thought to themselves,’this guy’s mental quality is not bad!’ She had actually adjusted her emotions so quickly! Oh! He was a talent!
Seeing that the other family heads didn’t have much of a reaction, elder Yao Jiu thought that they understood and said,””Clan heads, please!”
After this small interlude, everyone continued on their way. For the rest of the journey, the patriarchs were much quieter. Even when they arrived at the Yao family’s main residence, none of them were looking for trouble. This fact immediately made the ninth elder of the Yao family, who had been on tenterhooks, let out a sigh of relief.
These ancestors were really not easy to deal with! No wonder the great elder and the others were not willing to step up!
Elder Yao Jiu wanted to cry but had no tears. However, this task was given to him by the family head, so he couldn’t refuse it even if he wanted to!
After inviting the family heads into the living room, elder Yao Jiu immediately disappeared without a trace. Of course, to the outside world, he said that he had gone to invite the family heads.
After waiting for a while, he still didn’t see the Yao family head.
Instantly, the various patriarchs who had just quieted down for a moment had the trend of exploding again.
“The Yao family’s old man is getting more and more arrogant. He invited us here and made us wait for him! Hmph!” The master of the ning family snorted.
As soon as he spoke, the maidservant who followed behind him, Leng ruoxue, immediately served tea and snacks. When master ning saw this, he nodded in satisfaction.
No one dared to eat the Yao family’s food anymore, so they all prepared their own food.
Seeing master ning eat as he spoke without any delay, master Cheng couldn’t help but reach out to grab a piece of snack and stuff it into his mouth. His impatient appearance made it seem as if master ning would snatch it back from his mouth.
“Old man ning, you really know how to enjoy life. You actually have such a clever and nimble-handed maidservant by your side. It’s just that he looks a little apologetic! But why is her cooking so similar to that girl ‘s?” The Cheng clan head looked at Leng ruoxue, who was disguised as a maidservant, and could not help but feel suspicious. However, Leng ruoxue merely returned him an ugly smile before turning her head away.
Hearing master Cheng’s words, the other Masters ‘gazes were immediately attracted by the maidservant behind master ning, and then they looked at the beautiful and exquisite dessert placed in front of master ning. They had to admit that master Cheng’s words were correct.
However, they weren’t as thick-skinned as master Cheng, who directly used snatching. Instead, they adopted a method of closely watching people. Their eyes were fixed on master ning, to see if he would let them eat!
In the end, the master of the ning family felt great pressure from their gazes. He gently pushed the dessert forward and said generously,””Have a taste! My maidservant has learned everything from Xue ‘er. Not only that, Lu Qi was her master for a period of time. Thus, her skills are really amazing!”
