Chapter 4898: Flurry Of Footsteps
Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Elder Qingguang and Xuan Jialing reacted very quickly. They echoed each other and started to pour dirty water on Xuan Qingling.
If Xuan Yuze suspected them, things would be terrible.
The crime of murdering a top genius of the family was a serious crime that was difficult to bear even for an elder.
When Xuan Yuze heard the explanations from both sides, his brows furrowed even more tightly, feeling that his head was hurting.
Both sides insisted on their own words and blamed each other for their mistakes. However, both of them sounded very reasonable.
“Enough, quiet down!”
Xuan Yuze couldn’t take it anymore. He slammed the table, and the room fell silent again.
“Elder Jiuling, this matter…What do you think?” Xuan Yuze was silent for a moment before turning his gaze to Xuan Jiuling, the only neutral person present, to ask for his opinion.
” The two witnesses invited by Elder Qingguang shouldn’t be lying,” Xuan Jiuling said.” But what Xuan Qingling said should be true.” To tell you the truth, this old man has already met that doctor, Young Master Liu, while I was in Snowflake City. Young Master Liu’s testimony is exactly the same as Xuan Qingling’s. Every detail can be verified…”
“What’s so strange about that? This pair of lovers have been together for so long. I’m afraid they have already matched their words. How can you hear the flaws?” Elder Qingguang interrupted.
Xuan Jiuling’s expression was calm as he nodded.” Elder Qingguang is right. However, I have a friend in the military who vouched for Young Master Liu. With her strength and status, it’s impossible for me not to believe her words.”
“Ha, what a joke! What friends from the military? What power and status?” Elder Qingguang sneered. Elder Jiuling, why don’t you tell me the name? I want to see what she has to convince the Patriarch!”
Xuan Jiuling frowned slightly when he heard this.
When Huang Yueli and Li Moying’s names were announced, even Xuan Yuze had to be respectful but Huang Yueli wasn’t willing to reveal her ident.i.ty.
Xuan Jiuling thought for a moment, but still didn’t reveal her name.
Elder Qingguang thought that he was feeling guilty, so he curled his lips coldly and turned back to Xuan Yuze.
” It’s very clear now. No matter how Xuan Qingling quibbles, it’s a fact that she lost her virginity before marriage. Patriarch, please put the interests of the family first. You can’t be soft-hearted!”
Xuan Yuze frowned and thought for a while before gritting his teeth.” In that case, let’s first let Xuan Qingling…”
Before he could finish speaking, there was a sudden rush of footsteps at the door.
“Patriarch,” the Steward came in and reported.” The White Fen Clan has sent someone to give Miss Qingling a betrothal gift.”
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuze was stunned for a long while before he reacted.” Hurry up and invite them in,” he hurriedly said.
He didn’t understand what was going on. Didn’t they say that the White Fen Clan already knew about Xuan Qingling and the doctor? Why was he not here to break off the engagement, but to deliver the betrothal gifts?
Soon, boxes of gifts were delivered to the main hall and piled up into a small mountain.
Steward Meng of the White Fen Clan followed the last box in and bowed to Xuan Yuze. Before the other party could speak, he stood up straight.
” Patriarch Xuan, our Young Master asked me to come over and ask. I wonder how Miss Qingling’s preparations are going?”
His tone and att.i.tude were truly disrespectful.
However, Xuan Yuze was already used to the White Fen Clan’s behavior. He coughed lightly.” Steward, you’ve worked hard. Please sit down and drink some tea.”
Steward Meng waved his hand and said,”I still have something to do. I have to go back and report.” Our Young Master asked me to bring a message. There was a blind lecher hara.s.sing Miss Qingling, and he has already dealt with it on her behalf. Please don’t worry about the Patriarch and Miss Qingling. Just prepare for the wedding.”
After he finished speaking, he did not stay any longer and left.
Xuan Yuze’s worried heart finally relaxed.
“Alright, let’s end today’s meeting here. Since the White Fen Clan already knew about this matter, Young Master An didn’t mind. He just carried out the original plan. Prepare more dowry for Young Miss Qingling as compensation to the An family.”
Hearing this, Elder Qingguang and Xuan Jialing’s faces turned green.
