Chapter 42

After this series of questions from Yang Yu, Duan Lei's face turned pale:

"You, you don't talk nonsense, how could anyone follow Meng Yun's example, and how could I rebel!"

Yang Yu chuckled: "Don't look left and right, do you dare to say it again, Meng Yun shouldn't have been killed?"

Duan Lei stammered, unable to speak.

If he said he should be killed, it would be equivalent to admitting that Yang Yu was not wrong.

But if he said he shouldn't be killed, it would indeed mean that others could follow Meng Yun's example.

Both were unfavorable to him.

Yang Yu added: "A guard biting his master is a capital crime in any family. And you hesitated on this issue, I'm afraid... you Duan Lei also have the heart to bite your master!"

Then, Yang Yu looked at Bai Yuanzhong and the others and said: "Several clan elders, how should such a person be dealt with?"

Bai Yuanzhong was a bit surprised and a bit appreciative.

He didn't expect that this Yang Yu, having been splashed with dirty water, not only didn't panic, but turned passive into active and put Duan Lei in a checkmate.

And he said it flawlessly, leaving Duan Lei no room to argue.

After a pause, he looked at the other clan elders and said: "What Yang Yu said is not unreasonable. Meng Yun committed rebellion, and his death is not unjust. What do you think?"

"Hmm, no problem."

"Meng Yun started this bad precedent, if he is not executed, there will indeed be followers in the future."

"As a guard, one should respect the master's family."

"Uh... right."

Several clan elders, whether they were willing or not, expressed agreement.

Even Bai Qiang bit the bullet and nodded.

When Yang Yu's series of questions came out, no one could defend Meng Yun anymore, otherwise they would be a dangerous thinker...

"Forget it, a small interlude, let it pass, let the banquet continue."

Bai Qiang was frustrated again, not wanting to continue pulling on this topic, and took the initiative to raise his glass.

Unexpectedly, Bai Zhi stood up and said dissatisfiedly:

"Uncle is a bit too impatient, the matter hasn't been dealt with yet, and you're skipping it?"

Bai Qiang frowned and said: "How is it not dealt with, isn't it all clear? Meng Yun deserved to die, Yang Yu doesn't need to be punished, are you still not satisfied?"

Bai Zhi gave a light huff: "Yang Yu not being punished is as it should be. But what about Duan Lei? He tried to whitewash Meng Yun and maliciously targeted Yang Yu, should it just be forgotten?"

"You!" Bai Qiang was speechless.

Duan Lei was anxious: "Miss, I, I was just straightforward, and didn't cause any real bad consequences."

Bai Zhi scolded: "As the captain of the guard team, you don't even use your brain when you speak, which shows that you are not worthy of your position, and you should be expelled from the Bai Family! What do the clan elders think?"

"This..."

A total of eight clan elders looked at each other and said:

"Ahem, Duan Lei, you have worked in the Bai Family for many years, we won't let you suffer physical pain, you go."

Although, among the eight, more than half were like Bai Qiang, and they all opposed the marriage between Yang Yu and Bai Zhi in their hearts.

But Bai Zhi was the Family Head's own daughter after all, and her talent was excellent, very likely to be the next Family Head.

Now that she had made it clear, several people couldn't pretend to be confused.

Anyway, Duan Lei was just a captain, if he was expelled, he was expelled, and they could recruit a new one later.

"Don't, it was him, it was the Great Master who told me to do this, he told me to use Meng Yun's death to target Yang Yu... Great Master, help me say something..." Duan Lei was even more anxious, wailing repeatedly.

Among the brothers of the same generation as the Family Head, Bai Qiang was the eldest, and Great Master referred to him.

Bai Qiang's old face turned red, and he said fiercely: "Fart, when did I tell you to do this? Someone, drag this wild dog who ignores family law out!"

"Great Master, don't, you can't abandon me."

Duan Lei was forcibly thrown out amidst a burst of shouting...

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward.

Although many people guessed that Duan Lei was instructed by Bai Qiang.

But being said publicly, it was still very ugly.

"Alright, that's it. A good welcome banquet, turned into this."

Bai Qiang pretended to be indifferent and raised his glass again.

Bai Zhi was displeased and said:

"If Uncle has any dissatisfaction with Yang Yu, you can say it directly, no need to play these roundabout games."

"..." Bai Qiang's old face twitched.

Yang Yu also chuckled and said: "Azhi is right, I am also a person who doesn't like roundabout games, just say what you have to say, no need to pretend to be righteous."

"Hahahaha, what a big tone for a junior!"

Bai Qiang's anger rose, and he was laughed at.

Since it had come to this, he simply stopped pretending and said:

"That's right, I am dissatisfied with Yang Yu, dissatisfied with his marriage to Bai Zhi!"

Ning Wushuang slapped the table and scolded: "Bai Zhi is satisfied, I, her mother, am satisfied, is it your turn, an outsider, to evaluate?"

Bai Qiang looked disdainful and said endlessly:

"Sister-in-law, whether you are satisfied or not is not important. Bai Zhi was born in the Bai Family, any of her actions must consider the family's interests and follow the family's decisions."

"This Yang Yu comes from an ordinary background and cannot bring any benefits to the Bai Family or Bai Zhi, and might even drag them down. Not only me, but most of the other clansmen also oppose this marriage."

"So, we hope that she and Yang Yu will cancel the marriage contract, which is also a good thing for her. Wouldn't it be better for her to marry other family geniuses in the future?"

Ning Wushuang scolded:

"This marriage contract was set long ago, and the Family Head agreed to it himself, you say cancel it and it's canceled?"

Bai Qiang said as a matter of course:

"So what if it's already set, it can naturally be canceled. Not to mention it's just an engagement, even if they were married, they could still divorce."

"The Family Head agreed, but he was forced by the situation at the time, and he wasn't sincere. In fact, the Family Head is the biggest opposition, he's just too concerned about face and is embarrassed to say it."

"If he doesn't say it, we will say it for him! Clansmen, those who oppose this marriage, please raise your hands!"

Swish!

Suddenly, more than two-thirds of the people at the scene raised their palms.

"Madam, I'm sorry, we are also doing this for the family."

"Yang Yu is not worthy of Miss Bai Zhi anyway, breaking it off is fine."

"Even if you ask the Family Head, he has the same idea."

"Bai Zhi, you deserve a better man."

"There are so many outstanding young people in the Southern Region, which one is not better than Yang Yu?"

"You don't need to waste too much time on this kind of mediocre person."

The opposition crowd all put on a righteous look.

Ning Wushuang was so angry her face turned red, and she said: "You, you, why do you decide for my daughter?"

"In short, we oppose this marriage!"

Bai Qiang took the lead in shouting, and others echoed in unison.

As soon as the words fell.

Outside the banquet hall, a thunderous reprimand came:

"Hmph, my daughter and Yang Yu are a perfect match, is it your turn, you demons and monsters, to oppose it?!"

Appearing with the voice was none other than the Family Head Bai Sheng...
