Chapter 74: Li Weitian, Are You Guilty?
There are a total of eighteen elders in the Li family, half of whom are surnamed and half of whom are foreigners. On weekdays, there are five elders who have been guarding the Li family's private land in the Black Forest for a long time, in addition to a few elders who are outside to work on the affairs of the Li family, and the remaining older ones stay in the Loei province to retreat.
Now that the secret realm is about to be opened, all the elders outside have returned, except for one who still has a mission. And when Li Weitian came back from the Black Forest, he was accompanied by two elders.
Now these fourteen elders, none of them are gathered here, it must be because of something very important. If it was purely for Li Weitian's marriage, it would not be able to make such a big battle.
The current situation is more like a triage of three divisions than a marriage proposal, and the atmosphere is so serious and solemn that it makes people nervous. Moreover, Li Weitian found that these people, including his father, looked at Ling Ruo with unkindness.
He held the hands of the people around him and couldn't help but tighten.
"Father, is there something wrong with calling me back in such a hurry?" Although Li Weitian didn't know why, he specially didn't mention Ling Ruo and wanted to take her out.
Before Li Xian could think of how to speak, Zhao Yuehua next to him stood up uncontrollably, "Li Weitian, calling you and this woman over, of course, is to punish your crimes!" ”
Li Weitian's eyes were slightly cold, "Mrs. Li, although nominally speaking, you are my elder, you can't charge me inexplicably. I Li is the sky, I have always acted rightly, sat up straight, and acted worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of my conscience, and worthy of the Li family. Where did the sin come from? ”
"You!" Zhao Yuehua was so angry by Li Weitian's words that her face turned pale.
In a Xiuzhen family like the Li family, the internal status ranking has always been respected by the head of the family, the successor, and then the elders.
Zhao Yuehua is the wife of the head of the family and the hostess of the house, but in fact, she can only manage the affairs of the backyard, and her status is not high. This is the same reason that in the mortal realm, although the queen is the mother of a country, she cannot discuss the affairs of the world.
And Zhao Yuehua is not Li Weitian's own mother, and now he is arrogance to say such things to him who is second only to the head of the family. Li Weitian pointed out this point in front of her, so that her face, the eldest lady of Loei, didn't know where to enter.
Li Hong, who was sitting closest to Li Xian, glanced at Zhao Yuehua before she sat down angrily and closed her mouth for the time being.
Li Hong is close to eighty years old, but he has been tempered by his aura for a long time, and he looks like he is less than fifty years old, with black hair. He is the first of the elders of the Li family, and his cultivation is higher than that of the head of the family, Li Xian.
At the beginning, he practiced the Great Perfection of the body, and he fell short when building the foundation, and he did not succeed, but he used secret techniques to keep the sea of knowledge from chaos, so his cultivation can still be maintained in the realm of small perfection, unlike some monks, who fail to build the foundation and lose their cultivation.
The Li family has a population of nearly 10,000, most of whom are monks, and the wealth accumulated is comparable to that of a mortal city, so it is inevitable that there will be internal disputes.
Li Xian is only the ninth layer of refining body, and it is not easy to squeeze out so many Li family members who are better than him at the beginning, and it is not easy to sit in the position of the head of the family, Li Hong, who is his uncle, is his biggest backing, and Li Hong firmly supports him in major matters.
But between Li Xian and Zhao Yuehua, Li Hong is biased towards Zhao Yuehua. Because he is Zhao Yuehua's uncle, and he was the one who matched the two of them in the first place.
Zhao Yuehua is also a descendant of the Xiuzhen family, and Xiuwei is also worthy of the identity of the Li family's housewife, so when Li Hong promised her that after marrying Li Xian, she was the eldest lady of the Li family.
As a result, not long after she entered the door, Li Xian married the daughter of the Wei family in Linhai City. And in order to ensure the status of the other party, she was not only forced to become a concubine, but also ordered not to give birth to an heir.
Li Hong has always felt ashamed of her, so he will be somewhat biased towards her.
Just like today, he was called over by Zhao Yuehua and asked to come forward to ask Li Weitian, but he could only grit his teeth and agree.
After all, privately teaching the Li family exercises to outsiders is indeed a big deal, and Li Weitian doesn't want to escape this responsibility just because he is the eldest young master of the Li family.
In public and private, he can't let go of Li Weitian today, let alone Ling Ruo, who has become an outsider.
After pressing Zhao Yuehua, Li Hong motioned with his eyes to another elder, Li Changming, to come out and speak.
"Master Major, presumably our Li family's family rules, you must know very well. Therefore, the little old man doesn't understand, why would the eldest young master knowingly commit a crime? ”
Li Weitian's face was pale, "Elder Changming, what do you mean by this?" What house rule did I break against? When did you commit it? Why don't I know anything about it myself? ”
Since Zhao Yuehua sat in the position of the Li family's housemother, she disdained to hide her emotions. After waiting for so many years, even that woman waited to die, she couldn't catch the opportunity to breathe in front of the other party. Now, when there was an opportunity to trample the man's son under her feet, she was already impatient.
Now listening to Li Weitian's words, she couldn't help but jump up again, "Li Weitian, don't pretend to be confused!" Living evidence is standing by your side, and you can't deny it if you want to! If you are a man, you can simply admit it in front of all the elders today! ”
Ling Ruo next to him almost wanted to roll his eyes when he heard this.
This woman has said so many things, but she has not said a single point, and what she says is all nonsense! She has reason to suspect that the other party doesn't know anything at all, and is deliberately pretending to deceive Li for the sky.
Originally, Ling Ruo didn't want to take the lead in the affairs of the Li family, she just wanted to watch quietly from the wall, but now that the matter is on her, and this woman has done it so obviously against Li Weitian, she really can't bear it.
"This aunt, the living evidence you said doesn't mean me, a big living person, right? I'm curious, what evidence have I become? Can you prove that your Li family bullied a mortal woman who has not cultivated? Or can it prove that your Li family will take revenge on their former benefactor? ”
As soon as Ling Ruo's words came out, the faces of the Li family members present were not very good-looking, especially the head of the family, Li Xian, whose face turned red.
Li Xian designed to drive Ling Ruo out of the Loei Mansion, and most of the elders were in the know, but they all chose to watch this matter coldly.
There is no other reason, just because Ling Ruo at the beginning was of no help to their Li family, and it can even be said that they are dragging their feet. Li Xian got her away, and they were even happy to see it.
Li Xian was able to bully Ling Ruo so naturally, it was nothing more than seeing that she was helpless, and she didn't dare to speak up even if she was rubbed and rubbed by others, which could not affect the reputation of their Li family.
However, although they did it, it does not mean that they are willing to be pointed at and scolded. Ling Ruo put this matter on the table so bluntly, and they suddenly couldn't get off the stage.
They are a big family, and their face is more important than anything else. In the world of monks, it is a shameful thing to take revenge.
