Chapter 170

"Mr. Xu did this for a reason; I hadn't finished speaking just now..."

"Shut up!"

Liang Yuan interrupted A Wei's words unceremoniously: "I'm talking to my uncle; does a servant like you dare to interrupt?"

"As an assistant and bodyguard beside the eldest young lady, you actually let the eldest young lady encounter danger in the Lighthouse Country."

"A useless thing like you is not worthy of staying in the Tang family to enjoy a high salary!"

A Wei's breathing stagnated from being scolded by Liang Yuan.

This time Tang Bingyan encountered Tattoo's hijacking, his responsibility was indeed unshirkable; even if Tang Laoyezi wanted to punish him, he would have no complaints.

But the Tang family's affairs were not for an outsider to point fingers at.

He also didn't accept someone who didn't understand the whole process making wild remarks in front of everyone and confusing right and wrong.

A Wei, who was so calm, was so angry, let alone those bodyguard teams who had just experienced life and death together.

Bai Lu clenched his fists and wanted to refute Liang Yuan, but was stopped by A Wei.

Liang Yuan snorted with disdain and never looked at A Wei and the others again, but shifted his gaze to Xu Tian.

"You, a grown man, ran away to save your own life at a critical moment; I feel ashamed for you!"

"In that kind of situation, you should have stayed and faced it together with everyone. You usually enjoy the high-quality life and infinite glory brought to you by the Tang family, but when it comes to life and death, you say you are not a member of the Tang family to draw a line. How can there be such a shameless villain as you in the world?"

"The dog raised in my house still knows how to protect its master. It's a waste of the eldest young lady treating you so well usually. Look at your cowardly appearance; where are you worthy of the position of the Tang family's son-in-law?"

"According to the Tang family's family law, the charge of escaping alone at a critical moment is enough to have your legs broken and be driven out of the house!"

A cold, vicious light flashed in Liang Yuan's eyes.

It was only a matter of time before a coward like Xu Tian, who feared death, was driven out of the Tang family, but he had enjoyed the treatment of the Tang family's son-in-law for so long; maybe he had privately saved up quite a bit of a small treasury, and he could live very comfortably even after leaving the Tang family.

Driving him away just like that was simply too cheap for him; he should be crippled for the rest of his life and live in misery; only then could this offset the jealousy in his heart!

The Tang family members around nodded frequently upon hearing this, clearly agreeing with Liang Yuan's proposal.

"A Yuan is still the one who thinks thoroughly; the Second Elder just asked him to avoid it, which was really too polite to him!"

"Regardless of whether he was the eldest young lady's legal husband before, from the moment he abandoned his wife and other members of the Tang family and chose to escape alone, he had already lost the qualification to be a member of the Tang family!"

"Now that he is still clinging to our Tang family and refuses to leave, wanting the so-called identity of a Tang family member, then we will fulfill him. According to the Tang family's family law, those who betray the family should have their hands and feet broken and then be driven out of the house!"

Several family members discussed how to deal with Xu Tian with frowning brows and glaring eyes.

Xu Tian just looked at those people coldly and kept their appearance in his heart.

Now was not the time to settle accounts; these people who didn't care about Tang Bingyan's safety at all and feared that the world wouldn't be in chaos would sooner or later be uprooted and cleared out of the Tang family.

Seeing Xu Tian remain silent, Liang Yuan thought he had nothing to say, and the expression on his face became increasingly proud: "Pretty boy, weren't you eloquent in front of Tang Laoyezi before? Why have you become a mute now?"

"Aren't you claiming to be the eldest young lady's legal husband and the Tang family's son-in-law? Now, do you still want this title of son-in-law?"

"Like you, a pretty boy who fears death and forgets righteousness for profit, you only have a skin, but you are actually not even as good as a woman!"

"Just by you, you are worthy of being the Tang family's son-in-law? You are not even worthy of being a lick-dog beside the eldest young lady!"

Xu Tian stared at this vicious-eyed young man and curled his lips slightly.

This Liang Yuan was also an old acquaintance.

Recalling the various experiences of his previous life, a cold light emerged in Xu Tian's eyes.

Whether in his previous life or this life, the only person he, Xu Tian, was sorry for was Tang Bingyan alone.

As for others wanting to point fingers at his identity, they were all looking for death!

"Hmph, being scolded until you are covered in blood yet not daring to let out a fart, you really are a coward!"

Liang Yuan felt that victory came too easily, and instead lost the pleasure that made his body and mind happy.

He had originally thought that Xu Tian could get Tang Bingyan's attention, so he must be a very powerful ruthless character, and even did quite a bit of homework in advance to smear him in front of Tang Laoyezi.

Now it seems he was overthinking it; like Xu Tian, this cowardly pretty boy would soon be disgusted by the Tang family even if he didn't take action.

However, just when Liang Yuan thought Xu Tian had admitted his fate in shame, Xu Tian just smiled lightly and said:

"You let me speak, then I happen to have a question I want to ask you."

Xu Tian still maintained a light and breezy posture, as if the person who had just been scolded by Liang Yuan wasn't him.

The calmer he was, the more he made Liang Yuan in front of him look like a clown.

"Speak if you have something to say; don't dawdle like a woman!"

Liang Yuan gradually lost patience, and his tone became increasingly impatient.

In his view, Xu Tian was just struggling on his deathbed at this moment.

"Mr. Liang keeps saying that as the Tang family's son-in-law, what I should do at a critical moment, that means you also know my identity is the Tang family's son-in-law, right?"

"Hmph, the eldest young lady and Tang Laoyezi both recognize your identity; what qualification do I have to oppose it?"

Liang Yuan curled his lips: "What exactly do you want to say? You wouldn't be deliberately dragging things out to delay time, would you?"

This is a fool; he would rather have his legs broken than give up the status of the Tang family's son-in-law; it's too ridiculous!

"Since you admit it, then it's easy to handle."

Xu Tian turned to look at A Wei: "A Wei, Mr. Liang's uncle is a Tang family elder; logically speaking, he is also considered a member of the Tang family. The Tang family's family law is strict, and the distinction between noble and humble is clear. You say he insulted the legal spouse of the family head in front of everyone; which family law did he violate?"

A Wei's expression changed, and he immediately replied: "Insulting the legal spouse of the family head should be..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Tian raised his fist and smashed it onto Liang Yuan's carefully repaired nose bridge.

"Ah!"

The intense pain immediately caused a scream to come from Liang Yuan's mouth.

Xu Tian's punch directly caused his nose to bleed profusely.

Liang Yuan didn't expect Xu Tian to suddenly take action against him, and the whole person was stunned.

"You dare to hit me?"

Everyone else was also stunned and turned to look at Xu Tian one after another.

Even Tang Laoyezi, who had always let others make things difficult for Xu Tian, couldn't help but raise his eyes and look in his direction.

"Insulting the Tang family's son-in-law, light punishment is a slap, heavy punishment is one hundred lashes."

Xu Tian withdrew his fist and said lightly: "Now everyone is busy investigating the Tattoo matter, so I won't trouble the enforcement elder in the family to carry out the family law."

"What right do you have to hit me? Are you worthy of representing the Tang family's son-in-law to exercise family law? You are just a pretty boy who eats soft rice; you dare to hit me?"

Liang Yuan's nose bridge, which had just been repaired for hundreds of thousands, was knocked crooked; he was furious and waved his fists, pouncing toward Xu Tian.

"You bastard, I'm going to clean you up properly today!"
