Disgraced (5)

Xiao Jingrong, as the patriarch of the Xiao family, is not the only one who can punish the clansmen, but also invites the elders of the clan to witness together.

In the extremely dimly lit ancestral hall, Xiao Yanran knelt on the ground, Xiao Jingrong stood at the door, neither of them spoke again, silently waiting for the elders to appear.

Soon the elders rushed over with the people sent to pick them up, and they had already received some news on the way, but they couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Xiao Yanran kneeling on the ground.

This is the most talented and favorite child of the new generation of the Xiao family, how can he really kneel in the ancestral hall.

"Patriarch, how can you let Yanran kneel on the ground, if you have something to say, how can you bear such a punishment." An elder who loved Xiao Yanran the most immediately couldn't stand it, and walked in as he spoke, and was about to help her up.

"Yes, Jing Rong, how can you let the child kneel like this, it's not good to hurt the body."

"Second Elder, if you make a mistake, you will be punished, this is the Xiao family rule."

"So what, no matter how much you punish, you can't use it on Yanran, how much of a mistake can a small child make to make you so excited." The second elder would ask him angrily, the elders were older and older than Xiao Jingrong, so they didn't have much concern about him.

"How big a mistake?" Xiao Jingrong laughed angrily. "The mistake that can make the Xiao family destroy the door here, Second Elder, how big do you say this is!"

"What!" The second elder who bent down to help Xiao Yanran and the other elders who entered the door one after another froze when they heard this, how could it be so serious.

"Since a few elders have already arrived, let's take a seat first." Xiao Jingrong didn't say any more, just waved lightly to let them all in, and then ordered someone to close the door of the ancestral hall.

With a soft bang, the windowless ancestral hall lost its only light source, and immediately became a little dark beyond the reach of the fingers.

"Palm lamp." Xiao Jingrong gave a faint order, and on the bronze lamp stands on both sides, countless neatly arranged candles were quickly lit in turn, and the candlelight condensed together, actually illuminating the entire ancestral hall.

"Jing Rong, what the hell is going on?" The Great Elder saw that everything was ready, but they were still confused, so he took the initiative to ask.

Xiao Jingrong's eyes swept over Xiao Yanran, who had tears in her eyes but did not say a word of begging for mercy, and simply told what happened today.

When all the elders heard that she was actually jealous with Princess Yueya for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and angered King Calais regardless of her image, Qi Qi gasped, this is a matter of losing her head!

Xiao Yanran clenched her hands, her body trembling slightly.

Such a shameful thing, no matter how arrogant and domineering she is, she is always a woman who loves her reputation very much, but today she was ruined by her own hands.

"Do you still have to intercede for her now?" Xiao Jingrong asked coldly, how many people in such a ruthless jiashi could see that the woman in front of him was his favorite daughter.

"This ......" Several elders looked at each other, this matter is really a bit serious, but do you really want to expel Xiao Yanran from the house because of this?

The Xiao family doesn't have so many geniuses to replace her.

The second elder was calm for a while, and said: "Jing Rong, although this matter is a bit ridiculous, but it is also very strange, we don't know what kind of temperament Yanran usually has, and you are not clear about being a father?" Yan Ran has followed you through many big scenes since she was a child, and she has never had any problems, but this time she lost her demeanor on such a feast, don't you think it's a little strange. Besides, even if that's the case, it's not a big deal, Yan Ran will be the prince's person sooner or later, and it is not a good thing to finish the marriage of the two in such a smooth way. ”
