Chapter 19:-for-tat

The Great Elder Xia Wuxing has a very high prestige in the Xia family, and in terms of seniority, he can be regarded as Xia Ya's uncle.

It is said that when he was young, he was also known as a talented person in the Xia family, and Xia Fan's grandfather, that is, Xia Ya's father, was called the Xia family at that time.

However, because it was a concubine, he finally failed to defeat Xia Fan's grandfather in the process of competing for the patriarch, and instead joined the Xia Patriarchal Association.

When Xia Wudaunt joined the Presbyterian Church, it really caused a lot of controversy within the Xia family, because in terms of the age of the members of the Elders' Church, Xia Wudaunt was too young at the beginning.

In a blink of an eye, decades have passed,

In the past few decades, the Great Elder Xia Wuxing's reputation in the Xia family has grown, and many people in the Xia family are afraid of Xia Wuxing, even far above the patriarch Xia Ya.

After all, the specific family affairs are often all under Xia Wuxing's control!

And Xia Wuxing's temper is really irritable.

So when Xia Fan directly collided back in the face of Xia Wuxing's reprimand, this scene immediately startled everyone in the entire courtyard.

How many years has it been since no one in the Xia family dared to confront Xia Wudaunt in person?

Even Xia Fan, a well-known figure in the Xia family, has always been afraid of Xia Wuxing in the past, what is wrong with today?

The sudden silence in the courtyard made the atmosphere seem very strange for a while.

Everyone looked at Xia Fan's eyes full of consternation, and the Great Elder Xia Wuxing also had no psychological preparation for Xia Fan's confrontation, and the whole person was stunned for a while.

On the contrary, Xia Fan's face was full of mocking smiles.

"You...... You are presumptuous! Xia Fan! You're so disrespectful! Fang Cai Junkai also interceded for you, I hope that in this matter, we can deal with you lightly, I read that he is kind, and I agreed to him! But now it seems that it is this indulgent attitude towards you that has made you develop such a lawless character! For the sake of the whole family, I must teach you a good lesson today! ”

After being stunned, Xia Wuxing, who reacted quickly, turned red with anger for a while, and Xia Wuxing's roar resounded throughout the courtyard.

"Great Elder, I'm just telling the truth, why are you so angry? Does it seem to you that to be honest is lawlessness? It seems that the entire Daqian Dynasty has no such reason, right? ”

Xia Fan blinked, looking aggrieved.

"Tell me the truth? You say that there are no clan rules in my eyes, but you have become the truth? ”

Xia Wuxing stared at Xia Fan with wide eyes, and said angrily with a sense of absurdity: "Okay! In front of everyone in this courtyard! Tell me how I don't have a clan rule in my eyes! I've been in the Presbyterian Church for nearly forty years! Yiying family affairs have always been handled impartially, but I didn't expect that decades of hard work would be wantonly trampled on by juniors like you! Xia Fan! If you can't tell me the reason today, even if you are the son of the head of the family, I will punish you severely, and I will show no mercy! ”

"This ...... Not really, right? ”

Xia Fan scratched his head, and said with a look of embarrassment: "After all, Great Elder, you have made a lot of contributions to the family over the years, and it is understandable that you have made such a mistake once or twice, let's just treat it as if nothing happened, otherwise it will be a blow to your prestige, I can apologize to you for my attitude just now, it is better for this matter to end here." ”

"What did you say?"

Xia Wuxing stared at Xia Fan's face full of thought for his sake in disbelief, and the whole person was suddenly angry, and his anger was extremely strong, almost gritting his teeth and saying word by word: "I don't accept your apology!" Or, you just tell me what I'm doing wrong! Or, you just wait to eat the board! “

"I really want to say it...... Ay...... All right. ”

Xia Fan sighed, looking very reluctant and continued: "Great Elder, according to the rules of the clan, if it comes to matters that need to apply for arbitration from the Council of Elders, the first thing the Council of Elders needs to do is to summon the people involved. Then the two parties involved will explain each other's opinions and ideas, and the final result of the presbyterian arbitration will be voted on by a show of hands by the seven elders, am I right? ”

"Humph! The family rules are very clear, and this is naturally the process! ”

Xia Wuxing snorted coldly and said.

"Very good, since what I said is right, then the Great Elder, I would like to ask you, about my eldest brother's application for arbitration by the Council of Elders, I have just arrived in the courtyard of the Council of Elders, and the elders have just listened to my eldest brother's words, and have not given me any chance to elaborate at all, why do you think that this matter must be my fault, Great Elder? And ask me in advance if I know if I am wrong? ”

Xia Fan's tone was calm, with a puzzled look on his face, he didn't even look at Xia Wuxing's ugly face, and continued: "On the premise that the arbitration has not yet reached a conclusion, and it can even be said that it has not actually begun, you ask me if I am wrong?" Of course I don't know. The jury is still out and the arbitration has not yet begun, so how do you know who is right and who is wrong? Later, you directly used what my eldest brother said, fabricating charges against me, and it was obvious that I must be the one who was wrong, may I ask, who gave you the right to draw such a conclusion? I really want to ask if you still have clan rules in your eyes? With such arbitrariness and lack of awe, it seems that over the years, the Great Elder, you are really used to covering the sky with one hand. Or do you think you can already represent the clan rules and the entire Council of Elders? ”

Xia Fan's tone was much harsher by the end, and the content was even more severe.

The other people in the courtyard gasped almost at the same time, and looked at Xia Fan in shock.

Xia Wuxing's face turned pale when he heard this, because Xia Fan actually gave him back what he had said before, but he was still powerless to refute...... The slap in the face was too loud.

Xia Junkai also frowned, and looked at Xia Fan with a puzzled expression.

Only Xia Ya raised her eyebrows slightly, and a hint of a smile appeared on her face.

The others were shocked by Xia Fan's boldness, and dared to continue to confront Xia Wuxing like this after confronting Xia Wuxing.

Xia Wuxing was full of anger stimulated by what Xia Fan said, and at the same time, he was extremely surprised that Xia Fan was able to say this so reasonably.

This kind of performance is quite inconsistent with his impression of Xia Fan......

The reason why he directly scolded Xia Fan was because in his impression, every time Xia Fan saw him, it was like a mouse seeing a cat.

Xia Wuxing didn't know that his methods were simple and rude, full of loopholes, but he didn't expect Xia Fan to have the courage to really catch his loopholes!

And the words are thorough and clear...... Is this really what the unlearned gentleman can say?

Many thoughts flashed in his mind, and Xia Wudaunt stared at Xia Fan deadly, only to find that Xia Fan didn't even have the slightest look of fear in his eyes except for looking at him innocently!

This could never be the Xia Fan he knew in his impression!

Xia Wuxing took a deep breath, although the anger in his chest burned, there was no way to vent it, he knew very well that this matter was indeed his carelessness, if he forcibly oppressed Xia Fan as a great elder, it was just like what Xia Fan said...... There was no benefit other than great damage to his prestige.

Moreover...... Xia Yake was standing behind him......

Thinking of this, Xia Wuxing gritted his teeth, and was hit back by Xia Fan like this, which made Xia Wuxing feel disgraced for a while, but he still had to forcibly endure it, which was really a great pain.

"This matter is indeed something that the old man did wrong...... The old man apologizes to you! ”

After taking a deep look at Xia Fan, Xia Wuxing gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

The whole courtyard was in an uproar!

Great Elder Xia Wuxing, the person in the entire Xia family who is even more domineering than Patriarch Xia Ya...... Unexpectedly...... I even took the initiative to apologize?!

For a while, everyone's eyes looked at Xia Fan, and there was a huge change!
