Chapter 47: Accusations
Chapter 47 Accusation: "Grandfather is clear, no matter how bold I am, I don't dare to falsely accuse my cousin!" Chen Wen hurriedly spoke, "Grandfather, I know that you love your cousin, but you can't let her make mistakes like this!" β
"That's right, family master, in this matter, Murong Qianyan must give me an explanation." Lin Nilan said as she couldn't stop crying, "She harmed Wenwen like this, I will never give up." β
Looking at the three people kneeling there, Chen Shanghua felt upset, he waved his hand, "Okay, what's there, let's wait for Tianyan and Wenwen to come, now you all get up first!" β
"But, Masterβ"
"Didn't you hear me?" Chen Shanghua couldn't help but reprimand angrily, "Or are you kneeling here just trying to blackmail me?" β
After hearing Chen Shanghua's words, Chen Ruixing, Lin Nilan and Chen Wen, who were kneeling there, stood up immediately. They don't want to provoke the head of the house to rise before they have even started. If that's the case, it's too much of a loss.
Not only Murong Qianyan and Chen Wenwen, but Chen Shanghua also asked the three elders to be invited together. After all, this matter involves Murong Qianyan's body, and Murong Qianyan's identity is not what it used to be, so it would be better to let the three elders participate together.
Regarding Chen Shanghua's decision, Chen Wenqing agreed in her heart. The reason why she persuaded Chen Wenwen and instigated her eldest uncle and aunt was not to make things bigger? The bigger the trouble, the better it will be for her. As long as the matter gets bigger, then the head of the family wants to protect Murong Qianyan, and there is no way.
It didn't take long for Murong to walk into the front hall with a smile. She was the only one who came this time, Huang Fujue went to the Demon Realm and hasn't come back yet.
"Yo, such a crowd! Is it to be triaged by the three divisions? β
As soon as he stepped into the front hall, Murong Qianyan could already see the scene inside. My grandfather sat on the throne and looked helpless. The three elders sat in the lower seats, and they were looking at Chen Ruixing and the other three with dissatisfaction, as if they were very dissatisfied with their actions.
However, Chen Ruixing and Lin Nilan didn't see the dissatisfaction of their grandfather and the three elders with them at all. After seeing her walk in, both of them looked at her with hatred. As for Chen Wenqing, when she saw her, her face couldn't stop being proud.
Seeing such a situation, Murong Tianyan naturally knew what was going on. You don't have to think about it, you know that this must be Chen Wenqing's handiwork. She didn't agree to Chen Wenqing's request before, presumably Chen Wenqing designed all this to take revenge on her! However, it's a pity that Chen Wenqing only knows a little about what happened back then. Otherwise, I shouldn't have made such a quick move.
As if she hadn't seen the gaze of these three people, Murong Tianyan slowly walked into the hall, and after she nodded to Chen Shanghua and the three elders, she directly found a seat and sat down.
In this regard, Chen Shanghua and the three elders did not have any displeasure, because if you really want to talk about it, Murong Qianyan now represents the identity of the ancestor, which is even higher than them.
However, in the eyes of Chen Ruixing and others, Murong is pampered and arrogant. When they saw that Chen Shanghua and the three elders did not have any displeasure at Murong Tanyan's behavior, and even adopted an attitude that was close to connivance, their hearts couldn't help but feel a wave of jealousy.
However, they soon calmed down. This time, no matter what, Murong Qianyan was an unreasonable party. Moreover, this is no longer a trivial matter. Mutilating people of the same clan is a big crime, even if the head of the family wants to cover up, they can't resist the crowd outside.
"Murong Qianyan, what kind of etiquette are you?" Lin Nilan couldn't help but open her mouth to scold, "There are so many of our elders here, just don't salute after you come in, you don't even say hello." In your eyes, are there any of us who are elders? That's your tutor. β
For a long time, she didn't like Murong Tanyan. It's just a person with a foreign surname, but he is so favored by the head of the family. When she knew that her daughter had ended up like this because of Murong Yan's face, she couldn't hold back it even more.
"Hehe, aunt, why are you so angry?" Murong leaned his cheek on one hand and looked at Lin Nilan with a lazy look, "Grandfather and the three elders didn't say anything, why are you in such a hurry to interject?" As for my tutoring, you don't have to worry about it. β
can teach such an ungrateful daughter as Chen Wenwen, how good is this Lin Nilan's tutor? It's really a joke that he still has the face to discuss tutoring with her here.
"You-" After hearing Murong Qianyan's words, Lin Nilan's face turned red with anger.
"Alright, shut up." Chen Shanghua shouted directly, "Do you still have me in your eyes!" In front of me, you dare to make such a fuss. β
Seeing that Chen Shanghua lost her temper, Lin Nilan winced and didn't dare to say anything more. However, she still glared at Murong with hatred.
Soon, Chen Wenwen also walked in. This should be the first time in decades that Chen Wenwen has appeared in front of everyone. Since Chen Wenwen became a waste, she has never left her yard. Everyone doesn't know what Chen Wenwen has become now.
Today, when they saw Chen Wenwen again, everyone couldn't help but be surprised. No one would have imagined that the delicate girl back then, but after decades of hard work, actually turned into a middle-aged woman, looking even a little older than her biological mother.
But, come to think of it, everyone understands what's going on. Cultivation can keep your appearance young, and if you can't cultivate, you can only experience birth, old age, sickness and death like an ordinary person. Chen Wenwen has no way to cultivate now, and it is normal to become like this.
At this time, Chen Ruixing and Lin Nilan's faces couldn't help but flash a trace of guilt. In particular, Lin Nilan's heart was full of shame and sadness.
For so many years, she almost forgot that she still had such a daughter. At the beginning, at the beginning, she would still go to see this daughter. However, after a long time, she gradually forgot about it. Moreover, a daughter who has no way to cultivate will not bring her any benefits. So over time, she also forgot that she still had such a daughter.
Now that she saw this daughter again, she couldn't help but feel guilty in her heart. Either way, it's her daughter. But it is because of their neglect that over the years, Wenwen doesn't know how much she has suffered to become so old.
Thinking of this, Lin Nilan raised her head and looked at Murong Qianyan with eyes that could almost kill.
Noticing Lin Nilan's gaze, Murong grinned and didn't respond.
Lin Nilan's thoughts were almost written on her face, she just wanted to pretend that she couldn't see it, and it was difficult! However, for Lin Nilan's guilt for Chen Wenwen's actions, in her opinion, it is just a joke. Of course, this also includes Chen Ruixing.
If their couple really had a little affection for Chen Wenwen, Chen Wenwen would not have been so miserable all these years. Now they are jumping out to seek justice for Chen Wenwen, which looks like a farce.
"I've seen the head of the house." Chen Wenwen knelt down and knelt in the direction of Chen Shanghua and the three elders, "I've seen the three elders. β
For the guilty eyes cast by Chen Ruixing and Lin Nilan, she seemed to be invisible. After so many years, she has no feelings for her so-called parents.
"Get up!" Chen Shanghua's face was mostly emotional.
Chen Wenwen quickly stood up and retreated to Chen Wenqing's side.
However, she didn't even look at Chen Ruixing and Lin Nilan, as if the other party was just a stranger. Although they stood together, there was no communication in their eyes.
A hint of displeasure flashed in Chen Ruixing's eyes. In his opinion, Chen Wenwen is his daughter, so he should greet him first. I didn't expect that I hadn't seen him for so long, but this daughter turned a blind eye to him as a father, which is simply unreasonable. However, he also knew what the situation was like now, so although he was a little uncomfortable, he didn't say anything.
Lin Nilan is really sad, but now all the sadness is useless.
Chen Wenqing didn't have any interest in those things between Chen Wenwen and her parents, she just wanted to bring down Murong Qianyan as soon as possible.
Therefore, she stood up directly, arched her hand in the direction of Chen Shanghua, and said, "Grandfather, now everyone has arrived." I hope you can get justice for Cousin Wenwen. It was because of Murong Qianyan's persecution that Cousin Wenwen was abolished. β
As she spoke, Chen Wen lightly threw a provocative look in the direction of Murong Qianyan.
Hmph, Murong Qianyan, don't you think you're amazing? I'm going to see how you're going to dodge it this time. This time, I'm going to make you defeated. Let's see if you can be so arrogant in the future.
Facing Chen Wenqing's smug eyes, Murong Qianyan didn't even raise his eyes. Even, for that accusation, she didn't open her mouth to make any excuses for herself. As if that incident had nothing to do with her.
After Chen Shanghua heard Chen Wenqing's words, he didn't accept it immediately, his sharp eyes looked directly at Chen Wenwen, "Wenwen, you say, what Wenqing just said, is it true?" β
Under that piercing gaze, Chen Wenwen felt as if she had nothing to hide. Even if he is a cultivated person, under Chen Shanghua's coercion, it is very likely that he will be speechless. What's more, Chen Wenwen, a person who doesn't even have cultivation, feels that even her breathing seems to have become difficult.
For a while, she regretted it a little. regretted that he had promised Chen Wenqing and wanted to come out to testify.
"Cousin Wenwen, why don't you speak!" Seeing Chen Wenwen's appearance of not saying a word, Chen Wenqing was a little anxious, she directly touched Chen Wenwen with her elbow, with a hint of urging in her tone, "Grandfather is talking to you!" If you still don't answer, have you forgotten what happened before? Don't you want to get justice for yourself? β
There is no turning back from the arrows that opened the bow. Chen Wenwen, this waste shouldn't want to retreat halfway!
Seeing Chen Wen's light warning eyes, Chen Wenwen's whole person seemed to wake up immediately. Chen Wen's light words, she knew very well what they meant. Things had come to this point, and there was no turning back for her. If she doesn't bring down Murong Tianyan today, then you can imagine what kind of fate she will have at that time.
Thinking of this, Chen Wenwen took a deep breath, and after calming down her mood, she stood up, and then knelt on the ground, her face full of grievances, "Grandfather, what Cousin Wen said is true. Back then, it was because of Murong Qianyan's persecution that I lost all my cultivation, and not only that, but I could no longer cultivate. However, Murong was not satisfied, and she wanted to ruin my qualifications to be a mother. Grandfather, you want to get justice for me! β
When she spoke, Chen Wenwen's tears kept flowing down, coupled with her haggard eyes, which made people feel sad when they saw it.
At least, Lin Nilan couldn't stop her tears at this time and cried on the side.
Seeing Chen Wenwen and Lin Nilan's tears, a trace of impatience flashed in Chen Shanghua's eyes. He turned his head, looked at Murong Qianyan, and asked, "Tianyan, what do you say?" β
"Me?" Murong raised his head, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a lazy smile, "I admit everything she said." That's right, the reason why Chen Wenwen has become what she is now is because of me. It was I who abolished her cultivation. β
She never thought about hiding anything, and she never thought it was her fault in the first place. It's just that Chen Wenwen's courage is really not small! She dared to talk about the things back then.
After hearing Murong Tanyan admit everything so happily, everyone couldn't believe it. Everyone thinks that in the face of such accusations, no matter who it is, they will defend themselves first! But Murong Qianyan was so cheerful, and he directly admitted all this.
"You admit it, Murong Qianyan, you practitioner." Lin Nilan couldn't control the anger in her heart anymore, she took a step forward, pointed directly at Murong Tanyan's nose, and scolded, "Where did Wenwen offend you back then?" She was just a little girl at that time, and you were so ruthless that you ruined her life. β
Faced with Lin Nilan's attitude, Murong tilted his eyes and directly waved his hand towards Lin Nilan.
Lin Nilan was hit directly and took several steps back before she could stabilize her steps, but she could feel that she had been injured, and she looked up at the person who made the move in disbelief, "Murong Qianyan, you actually dare-"
"What am I afraid of?" Murong raised his head and looked at Lin Nilan, his eyes were full of coldness, "I hate it when people point their fingers at me the most." It's just a small lesson, and if there's a next time, I'll just cut your fingers. Also, I don't want to hear the word practice again, if I hear it again, then I will engrave the word practice on your face, so that you can understand what it means. β
Murong Qianyan's sudden move made everyone startled. Everyone didn't expect that in such a situation, Murong Qianyan would actually take action directly.
"Murong Qianyan, what are you doing?"
Lin Ruixing couldn't hold back any longer, he took a step forward and raised his hand, just wanting to attack Murong Yanyan. But before he could start, he was stopped by a light, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.
When he raised his head and looked at the person who had stepped in to stop him, he couldn't help but feel a pang of injustice in his heart, "Father, at this time, do you still want to continue to maintain Murong Qianyan?" β
When Murong attacked his wife just now, his father didn't make a move. But now, when he attacked Murong Tanyan, his father intervened to stop him. How could a father be so unfair? Could it be that in his father's heart, Murong Qianyan is more important than his son?
"Do you still have rules in your eyes?" Chen Shanghua glared at Chen Ruixing, "Me and the three elders are still here, so you dare to attack Yan Yan." If we're not here, aren't you going to turn the sky upside down? β
As he spoke, Chen Shanghua's eyes were full of disappointment. He did this not to save Yanyan, but to treat this stupid son of his own! What kind of cultivation is Tanyan, the boss doesn't know, but he knows it. If you wait for a while, the boss really doesn't have any room to fight back.
Chen Ruixing didn't know Chen Shanghua's good intentions, and his eyes when he looked at Murong Tanyan at this time were even more unkind. He had no way to blame his father, so he could only put all the blame on Murong Qianyan.
"Grandfather, now that my cousin has admitted it, shouldn't she be punished?" At such a chaotic moment, Chen Wenqing continued to speak, "If this matter is not handled fairly, then the rest of the Chen family will feel cold." β
Seeing that the eldest uncle and eldest aunt were suffering under Murong Qianyan's men, she could no longer endure it. The head of the family looks so fond of Murong Qianyan, if he doesn't solve the matter as soon as possible, he may wait for something to happen.
"This-" For a while, Chen Shanghua's face was full of embarrassment.
"Grandfather, you can't bend the law for personal gain just because you love your cousin!" Chen Wen immediately continued to speak, "If this is the case, then we are absolutely unconvinced. β
"Ask my father to seek justice for Wenwen." Chen Ruixing and Lin Nilan also knelt down and spoke in unison.
Chen Shanghua didn't say anything, just quietly looked at the three people kneeling there. For a while, he didn't know how to deal with this matter. If it is said that Murong is to be punished, it is absolutely impossible. But the eldest couple is pressing here step by step, and if he doesn't deal with it, it is obvious that they will not give up.
The atmosphere in the antechamber suddenly became condensed. No one spoke, and no one wanted to take a step back.
"Hehehe." In such a stalemate environment, Murong Qianyan let out a crisp laugh, she looked at the person kneeling there, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a sarcastic smile, "It seems that you have made up your mind today and will not let me go!" β
"Cousin Yanyan, don't you feel guilty at all when you do such a thing?" Chen Wen looked up at Chen Wenwen lightly, her face was full of distress, "Look at Cousin Wenwen's current appearance, if it weren't for you, she would still be the high-spirited Miss Chen today." It was you who ruined her life, and you can still laugh now. β
Chen Wenwen lowered her head and didn't say a word, no one knew what she was thinking.
Chen Ruixing and Lin Nilan looked at Murong Qianyan with hateful eyes, and they almost wanted to cut Murong Qianyan with a thousand knives in their hearts.
"Chen Wenwen, do you think the same in your heart?" Murong turned his head, looked at Chen Wenwen, and said, "Do you really want me to give you justice for that incident back then?" β
She spared Chen Wenwen's life back then, but she didn't expect that this Chen Wenwen still had the courage to jump in front of her, and she was really bold enough. It seems that the lessons of the year are really not enough, right?
After hearing Murong Qianyan's words, Chen Wenwen couldn't help but fight a cold war. She didn't even dare to look up at Murong Tianyan. I don't know why, when facing Murong Qianyan, a sense of fear swelled up in her heart. She could only lower her head and avoid Murong's eyes.
"Cousin Wenwen, you don't have to be afraid." Chen Wen stretched out her hand, gently pulled Chen Wenwen's sleeve, and said, "Just tell me honestly, grandfather and the three elders are here, and they will definitely seek justice for you." β
"Have you forgotten the days you've had over the decades? Who made you the way you are, are you willing to continue to go back to that little courtyard and continue to live like that? β
"Do you want to watch the people who hurt you continue to live at ease, while you yourself live in pain all the time?"
Sentence by sentence, word by word, like a knife, directly cut away the unwillingness and hatred in Chen Wenwen's heart.
She finally raised her head, looked in the direction of Chen Shanghua and the three elders, and after kowtowing, she spoke, "Grandfather, three elders, Wenwen begs you to seek justice for me." Back then, Murong Qianyan knew my identity, but he still did this, which is really unforgivable. β
