Therefore, when the Clan Leader asked, Old Man Ye didn’t nod his head immediately, but said, "I didn’t arrive much earlier than the Clan Leader. I followed over after hearing my wife quarreling with someone at home. After I got here, it was even more confusing, but today, in front of so many people from the village, our third sister-in-law said that we plotted to take someone’s life. I heard that much clear as day. Since the Clan Leader is here now, let’s all listen carefully to what our third sister-in-law has to say about who exactly our family has conspired against?"
By this time, the Clan Leader also understood what the Ye Family intended, especially since even the usually talkative Old Man Ye was unyielding.
This matter today, I’m afraid it won’t end well!
However, he also realized that the one stirring up trouble today wasn’t the dominant Mrs. He; it was purely the disadvantaged third grandma.
The Clan Leader couldn’t help but complain in his mind that this old lady really didn’t grasp the situation and thought too highly of herself.
Previously, due to Ye Wenzheng’s incident, a big scene had already been caused, and yet she now dared to confront Mrs. He head-on, wasn’t this just looking for trouble for her own family!
"Since everyone wants to know, then third aunt, please speak up. Who exactly did Wenzheng’s family conspire against?" the Clan Leader said helplessly.
The third grandma, who had already regretted causing trouble when this group of people stood behind Mrs. He, felt somewhat bolstered by the involvement of the Clan Leader.
After all, no matter how you look at it, she was in the right today. Just as she had said earlier, no matter how rich Mrs. He was, one cannot disregard human life.
Thinking this, the third grandma began, "The person they conspired against is none other than my grandson Wenzheng!
Originally, their Ye Jiu left with Wenzheng, claiming they were going to the capital city to do business. Ye Jiu has been back for almost half a year now, bringing with him great wealth for his family, yet my poor grandson Wenzheng has not been seen up to this day, and it’s unknown whether he’s dead or alive.
It was clearly the two of them who left together, and who knows, maybe Ye Jiu took the chance to harm my grandson. That’s why he also occupied my grandson’s share of the money. Otherwise, how could the Ye Family have gotten rich so quickly?"
If it weren’t for her past actions of driving Wenzheng’s family out, the third grandma now would truly seem like a good grandmother who is worried and frightened for her own grandson.
But a grandmother who could sell off her own granddaughter to pay off her son’s gambling debts, and a mother-in-law who drove her widowed daughter-in-law and grandchild out without a penny to their names, calling her a good grandmother is nothing short of an insult to the word grandmother.
"If I remember correctly, third lady had already chased Wenzheng’s family out a long time ago, right? Moreover, you severed ties. You nearly drove them to death back then, and only now do you come to grieve for your grandson—isn’t it a little too late?" Ye Jiu looked indifferently at the third grandma’s family. "Furthermore, I have already explained the matter regarding Wenzheng to Sister Wang. Wenzheng is still taking care of business in the capital city. Once things settle down there, he will naturally come back."
To the third grandma, however, Ye Jiu’s words clearly seemed evasive, which made her feel even more justified in her position. "Now, nobody knows where you and that boy Ye Changsheng whisked the Wang mother and daughter away to. You say you’ve explained things to Mrs. Wang, but who would believe that? Perhaps, you’ve already sold them off long ago!"
The third grandma’s demeanor was quite ferocious, almost like she was baring her fangs and brandishing her claws.
