Free Web NovelChapter 3352: Chapter 3353: Such Shameless Words
"But when a child isn’t properly taught, the fault lies with the father. Sixth Elder, shouldn’t you be giving me an explanation about how you’ve been teaching that precious daughter of yours, that she dares run so wild she even wants to scheme against the Junior City Lord’s wife?!"
She harshly questioned the Sixth Elder.
"With a daughter like that, if you keep sitting in an elder’s seat, who knows what kind of trouble you’ll cause in the future. Get lost while you still can!"
"N-no, that’s not it."
At Elder Zhu’s words, the Sixth Elder was so shocked he could barely speak clearly.
How did this nice, simple matter suddenly get dragged all the way up to his position as Sixth Elder? It was just some petty squabble between kids, what’s the big deal?
"Master, isn’t this just Yuanyuan trying to make things difficult for the Junior City Lord’s wife? And she didn’t really manage to do anything to the Junior City Lord’s wife anyway. Didn’t you already stop her in time?
Besides, that’s the Junior City Lord’s wife we’re talking about. She’s going to be the City Lord’s wife in the future. If she can’t even handle a few little tricks from my Yuanyuan, how is she supposed to win the people of Sky City’s respect?
If you ask me, what Yuanyuan did makes sense. Of course you have to test whether the Junior City Lord’s wife has what it takes first."
He didn’t feel his daughter had done anything wrong at all. If Lin Caisang couldn’t even hold on to the position of Junior City Lord’s wife, then she should step aside and let someone more capable take the seat.
If there was anything wrong, the only mistake he saw was that Yuanyuan shouldn’t have been so reckless. She should have planned it out properly—how could she be stupid enough to let Elder Zhu catch her?
"You—"
Elder Zhu was almost angered to the point of collapse by his shameless words.
Looks like she really had treated this fellow too well, hadn’t she? To the point he couldn’t even tell high from low anymore?
Even if, in the eyes of the people of Sky City, the elders of the City Lord’s Mansion were lofty big shots, within the City Lord’s Mansion, elders were nothing more than subordinates at the City Lord’s side.
He actually dared put himself on such a pedestal that he wanted to point fingers at the Junior City Lord’s affairs?
Especially—he even dared to question the Junior City Lord’s wife!
"Shen Qian, you’re impressive. I’ll remember every word you said today."
She took a deep breath and spoke viciously.
"Uh."
Shen Qian choked on her words.
He knew what he’d just said was a bit over the line, but if he didn’t stand up for his own daughter at a time like this, who would?
Your own daughter is yours to dote on. Just like Commander Lin—didn’t he send his own daughter to the Junior City Lord, made her the Junior City Lord’s wife, and in doing so made his own position in Sky City even more secure?
If Lin Baizhong could do that, then why couldn’t he?
"Elder Zhu, I..."
"Elder, the Junior City Lord has sent someone over. It seems there’s something to be handled."
The Sixth Elder was just about to speak when he saw the same attendant who had welcomed him in earlier come in again and lean toward Elder Zhu to report softly.
"Oh?"
Elder Zhu gave the Sixth Elder a meaningful glance, the corners of her lips lifting in a faint, ambiguous smile.
"Invite the Junior City Lord’s people in," she ordered.
"Yes, Elder."
The attendant answered and left to bring them in.
Standing off to the side, the Sixth Elder watched the attendant leave, his heart pounding fast.
Why would the Junior City Lord’s people come to Elder Zhu’s place? Had they discovered something? Did the Junior City Lord find out what his Yuanyuan had done?
If that was really the case, then things were going to be very hard for him to handle.
