Now, although Ye Wenzheng was in the capital city, the fact that he was conducting his affairs with his own people was no secret in the village.
Therefore, with today’s incident, Ye Jiu couldn’t help but suspect that someone was deliberately causing trouble!
Taking a step forward, Ye Jiu asked, "Mother, what’s going on?"
The moment Third Grandma saw Ye Jiu approaching, her morale boosted, "Ye Jiu, you’ve come at just the right time. Today, you must give our family an explanation. Otherwise, no matter how rich your family is, you can’t ignore the law. Don’t blame us for not considering the kinship, as we will go to the government office to accuse your family of murder!"
Ye Jiu initially wanted to see if there was any misunderstanding, but after hearing Third Grandma’s words, he instantly knew that they were indeed looking for trouble.
"Oh? Then Third Aunt, please tell me, what explanation do I owe your family, and who exactly have I plotted to kill?" Ye Jiu countered.
When He Shi saw Third Grandma’s fire directed at Jiujiu, she also exploded, "Xiaojiu, don’t bother arguing with that old thing. I think her old problem has flared up again; she’s looking for trouble and is begging for a beating!"
"Mother, they’ve already pinned the charge of murder on me. Let them finish speaking, so we can see who I’ve supposedly killed. We shouldn’t take the blame for something we haven’t done," Ye Jiu said with a cold laugh.
Today’s matter had even escalated to accusations of murder, and if they didn’t give Ye Jiu an explanation, he truly wasn’t prepared to let things slide.
It was not a matter of bullying by one’s power; after all, this family could sell off Ye Yun and had the audacity to force Ye Wenzheng’s mother and child out of their home. Judging from this incident, they were no good either way.
Some people could act arrogantly simply because they hadn’t been taught a sufficient lesson, but the current Ye Jiu was no longer someone who could be trampled upon at will!
Looking at Third Grandma’s family and the villagers around her, Ye Jiu’s demeanor suddenly became sharp, "Come on, Third Aunt, tell me who I have allegedly harmed?"
By this time, the Clan Leader had finally arrived in a rush. Seeing the imposing air behind Ye Jiu and He Shi and then looking at Third Grandma’s family, it seemed they wouldn’t be enough to knock down a single person.
At the same time, the Clan Leader was also very angry.
He didn’t consider the current state of the Ye Family’s home. He had planned to discuss after the New Year with Uncle Cheng on how to lead the clan to prosperity while the Ye Family flourished.
But now, before he could even raise the matter, trouble had already arisen, which was essentially dragging the clan down.
However, upon arriving, the Clan Leader had to greet with a smile, "What’s going on here? We are all members of the same clan and worship the same ancestors. Today, for the sake of my role as the Clan Leader, let’s all sit down and talk this through peacefully. If we resolve the matter, it will all be good, right?"
Although he was asking both families, the Clan Leader quite obviously directed the question towards Ye Gaosheng.
Given the vast disparity in the two families’ demeanors, the Clan Leader couldn’t believe that Third Grandma’s family would dare to start a conflict, so as long as he could appease Ye Jiu and He Shi, the matter would be over.
But this time, the Clan Leader was truly mistaken, it wasn’t He Shi who took the initiative to cause trouble. If He Shi and Third Grandma came to blows, it was mainly because Third Grandma’s words were too unreasonable.
In the current Ye Family, although Ye Gaosheng was still the head of the house on the surface, the one who made decisions for the household had openly become Ye Gaosheng, but in secret, they listened to Ye Jiu’s word.
