Chapter 2717: Nonsense
“You are spouting nonsense!”
Old Patriarch Ruan’s expression was gloomy. His eyes were as sharp as a knife as he stared at Ruan’s Fourth Miss and yelled at her in a loud voice. Even though he was old, he was still vigorous, and his voice was accompanied by a strong pressure that hit Ruan’s Fourth Miss, allegedly with the intention of preventing her from speaking nonsense.
However, Feng Jiu just glanced at Old Patriarch Ruan and dispelled the strike with a light flick of her finger.
Her limpid eyes were filled with scorn as she looked at Old Patriarch Ruan, and she said coldly, in a slow and clear voice, “What? Are you enraged because you’ve been humiliated? Or do you intend to kill in order to silence her?”
When he saw that a young man had dispelled his pressure, his face sank and his eyes flared with rage and killing intent. “Don’t get involved in other people’s affairs, kid! This is our Ruan family’s matter!”
He paused and fixed his gaze on his granddaughter, who was hiding next to the young man dressed in azure and holding his feet. A grim and sinister glow flashed in his eyes.”As a child of the Ruan family, she should be killed because she has tarnished the family’s reputation!”
Patriarch Ruan’s eyes flashed and he looked shocked when he heard what Ruan’s Fourth Miss said. He apparently didn’t think she’d find out. In fact, his father told him that Ruan’s Fourth Miss was a woman with that type of physique. If she served as a cauldron for the elite children to cultivate, their Ruan family would reach its pinnacle, and the number of strong exponents among them would more than double.
A daughter, in his opinion, was useful for the alliance by marriage, and she would have to marry into another family in the future. His daughter’s most important role was to marry into a large influential family. Even his third daughter, who grew up close to him, was reduced to a marriage alliance tool.
As a result, when he and his father discussed it, they made a decision after weighing the pros and cons. But he didn’t expect her to know what they were up to and reveal it in front of so many people.
He was resentful when he saw his son’s and daughter’s incredulous gaze at him.
…
As a woman of such physique, she had demonstrated her greatest worth by contributing to the family. Why not sacrifice her alone in exchange for a large number of strong exponents for their Ruan family?
“Come! Bring Fourth Miss back!” He stated ominously, strengthening his resolve.
“Fa…Father, was what Fourth Sister said true?”
Young Master Ruan was so shocked that his voice trembled. He could never have antic.i.p.ated how things would turn out. He a.s.sumed that it was the family’s attention and clan’s ingratiation that changed Fourth Sister, but he never imagined that it was their father and their grandfather, who forced Fourth Sister to become such a person!
“Don’t pay attention to her nonsense! I think she’s going insane.” Patriarch Ruan stated calmly and with a straight face.
When the people around her heard this, their expression changed to one of shock. They gazed incredulously at that Ruan family member. Someone said, “Just now, the young man gave Ruan’s Fourth Miss the truth pill. She should not tell lies.”
“No wonder she fears her clan’s members so much. If this is the case with the Ruan family, their behaviour is excessive. Ruan’s Fourth Miss is the Patriarch’s own daughter, and the Old Patriarch is her grandfather. How cruel.”
“I heard before that Ruan’s Fourth Miss possesses exceptional talent; does this refer to her cauldron-like physique?”
