Chapter 921: A Self-Righteous Woman
ong Tie's face was filled with dejection. The vast difference in cultivation between the two of them left him speechless.Ye Bufan turned his head and looked at Joanna again: "Who gave you the courage...Seeing the two people get out of the car, Changsun Wenzhi immediately went up to greet them.
"Daughter, Xiaofan, welcome home."
After 20 years, she returned to the Changsun family. Changsun Dongju was still very excited and walked into the manor surrounded by people.
As the eldest grandson of a prominent family, he had a grand hall dedicated to gatherings, capable of accommodating hundreds of people.
Upon entering, Chang Sun Wenzhi walked to the front of the stage and addressed the audience below: "After 20 years, Dongju has returned to our Chang Sun family."
Before, I was familiar with Dongju. Everyone was close and friendly. Even the younger generations who weren't familiar with me got to know each other better. We are all family. Let's all get closer and strengthen our bonds.
Give everyone one hour, and then we'll hold a family meeting to announce something important.
After finishing his speech, the old man left the hall with Changsun Cangsong, leaving Changsun Dongju and hundreds of other members of the Changsun family behind.
"Si Mei, you're finally back."
After they left, a middle-aged woman accompanied by a pretty girl walked over. It was Changsun Cangsong's wife, Xu Manyu, and her daughter, Changsun Le.
When Chang Sun Dongju returned to the Chang Sun family, people's attitudes were obviously different. Some welcomed her, some resisted her, and some just watched coldly.
None other than Xu Manyu and Changsun Le would be the most welcoming to their return, as the mother and daughter were both deeply grateful to Ye Bufan for curing Changsun Cangsong's long-standing dementia.
For so many years, because Changsun Cangsong has always been a fool, both she and her daughter have suffered much criticism and scorn.
Now everything is fine, the family can finally live happily together.
"Hello Auntie Four, Hello Cousin Xiao Fan."
Changsun Le stepped forward and greeted, "How are you doing" Xu Manyu warmly replied: "Fourth sister, congratulations! Not only did you find your son, but Xiao Fan is so excellent as well."
Changsun Dongju originally had a very good relationship with this sister-in-law. Now that they met again, they chatted enthusiastically.
At a distance from them, two middle-aged women adorned in jewels were huddled together, glaring at this direction with ill intent.
They are all daughters-in-law of the Changsun family. One is the wife of Changsun Liyan and the mother of Changsun Li, Liang Meiyun.
Another one is called Wu Yanli, who is the daughter-in-law of Changsun Qingber.
Originally, Changsun Qingbai was just a branch of the Changsun family. But because he married Changsun Qiulan and had an exceptionally talented son, his status changed.
Therefore, these years at the Changsun family have been prosperous and successful, making him a powerful and influential figure.
Her son, Changsun Yi, was exceptionally talented in martial arts and considered the most outstanding among his family's three generations.
In his early twenties, he had already reached the peak of the Earth Grade, and most importantly, he received the favor of Changsun Wugong, who occasionally gave him guidance.
And Changsun Yi, being extremely intelligent, naturally wouldn't miss this rare opportunity. Due to their seniority, he couldn't formally become a disciple, but he always referred to Changsun Wu as his "master".
After befriending Changsun Qiulan and Changsun Wugong at the Changsun family, they naturally flourished. This led them to develop an arrogant attitude and look down upon others.
Wu Yanhui asked: "Second Sister-in-law, why didn't I see Qiulan today"
Few people knew about last night's events, and Changsun Wenzhi issued a gag order afterward, so these people were still unaware of Changsun Qiulan's whereabouts.
So this woman is very strange, as the head of the Changsun family, why didn't Changsun Qiu Lan appear today
"Who knows, maybe Third Sister didn't want to see certain people and that's why she didn't attend this kind of occasion."
Liang Meiyun looked at Ye Bufan and his son, her eyes filled with venomous hatred.
Changsun Liyan and Changsun Li are both simpletons, but Liang Meiyun is different. She is greedy, cunning, narrow-minded, and vindictive.
Before Changsun Dongju left the Changsun family, the relationship between the two was not very harmonious.
Changsun Li was driven out of the Changsun family, she was furious to death, but she didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction with the old man. She could only hate Ye Bufan to death, and at the same time, she hated Changsun Dongju even more.
You're right, I don't look up to people like that either. They were originally driven out of their homes, how did they suddenly come back
For someone like her, who was sweeping the floor to get by, being able to return to the Changsun family would be a tremendous blessing.
"Grandfather went to all this trouble, inviting her back. I really don't know what he's thinking."
Wu Yanli curled her lips. This woman had been proud and arrogant for years. She looked down on everyone except Master's granddaughter, Qiu Lan.
But today, Changsun Dongju and her son were obviously the most eye-catching people in the Changsun family, which made her extremely unhappy.
"I know about that. I heard that the wild herbs she brought back were wagered against the old man. If she could cure her grandson, Longsun Cangsong, the old man would have to publicly apologize and bring Longsun Dongju back to the Longsun family."
Liang Meiyun knew more about Ye Bufan because of her relationship with Changsun Li. Changsun Liran was also present when they made the bet that day and knew even more about it.
"Really, these young people are just reckless. They dare to use a bet to force the old man into doing this."
A disdainful expression crossed Wu Yanhui's face. Having spent so many years in the Changsun family, she knew Changsun Wenzhi's temperament very well: he valued his face above all else.
"So, even though they entered the Changsun family's door, mother and son have lost face with the old master. What good fruit can they possibly expect in the future They might even be kicked out one day."
In her opinion, Ye Bufan used a wager to force Changsun Wenzhi to bring back Changsun Dongju.
In that case, the old man naturally looked down on this mother and son pair, and they would definitely not have any status in the Changsun family in the future.
"You're right, that boy is absolutely despicable. He used some pathetic sword manual to blackmail my son and drove him out of the Changsun family."
Referring to this, Liang Meiyun was so angry she gritted her teeth. Just last night, Chang Sunli called her and cried, begging her mother to find a way to ask the old man to let him return to the Chang Sun family.
"Second sister-in-law, you don't need to take this to heart. After all, Li'er is the grandfather's own grandson and will be brought back sooner or later. Unlike some people who are bastards."
Wu Yanhui usually has a good relationship with Liang Meiyun, and at this moment, she stands on the same front line, targeting Ye Bufan and his mother together.
I know that, but I can't swallow my pride.
"This is simple, sister-in-law. We're going to give that woman Luo Luo a taste of her own medicine, just to let you vent."
"Will this work After all, he was just brought back by the old man."
Liang Meiyun hesitated a little. Although she was full of resentment, she was ultimately still afraid of Changsun Wenzhi's authority.
"Second sister-in-law, are you stupid Did the old man willingly ask her back He was forced to."
If we went right now and gave that mother and son a good thrashing, the old man wouldn't be angry, he'd be impressed with us. He might even be so happy that he would let Li return to the eldest grandson's family.
Liang Meiyun thought about it, and it seemed to make sense. If she upset the head of the Changsun family, there would definitely be no good fruit to eat.
"Okay, let's go together."
Two self-important women thought they had seen through Changsun Wenzhi's mind and walked towards Changsun Dongju and her son together., on behalf of the Divine Court, thank you!"Adam's eyes were filled with gratitude, for if not for his continued efforts, the divine court that had stood for millennia might have truly fallen to ruin...
