PDLP Chapter 253 Elder
Chapter 253 Elder
"Su Yuchen, you guessed it too, didn't you?" Yun Yao hooked her arm around Su Yuchen's neck and whispered in his ear.
Su Yuchen nodded, his expression very solemn.
He knew that Yun Yao was referring to the matter of these three elders.
During the few days he accompanied Yun Yao back, he did not come away empty-handed. He slipped into the study when Bu Lanying was not paying attention and found out some secrets of the Su family.
The three old men in front of me are probably the Su family elders recorded in the secret history. Hundreds of years ago, these so-called elders were the Su family patriarch's henchmen. In recent years, the Su family has declined, and their status has risen. They have appointed themselves as elders and have enjoyed the honor of being worshipped by the Su family for generations.
However, they usually don't show their faces unless something or someone threatens the survival of the Su family.
The secret chamber that Yun Yao explored today likely contains something powerful enough to shake the very foundation of the Su family; otherwise, they wouldn't be so nervous.
but……
He only learned about these unheard-of things in recent days.
Bu Lanying, how dare she forcibly seize the position of head of the Su family and confuse the public!
Just as Yun Yao and Su Yuchen were lost in thought, the three elders had already walked up to them and were looking down at the two who were "sticking" together.
The Third Elder was furious when he saw Su Yuchen's behavior and glared at him fiercely.
"Su Yuchen, as the most outstanding descendant of the Su family in this generation, you are actually being led by the nose by a woman. You are a disgrace to the Su family!"
Yun Yao, however, was somewhat impatient and looked at the Third Elder with a hint of mockery.
"You old Taoist priest, what did you say?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the room fell silent. Everyone looked at Yun Yao, who had spoken so arrogantly, in disbelief.
Bu Lanying's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
The Third Elder was shocked for a moment, and then a raging fire rose within him.
"Little girl, what did you call me?"
Yun Yao knew nothing of fear and stared directly at the Third Elder.
"Old Taoist priest, Su Yuchen, isn't that a perfect description?" She said lazily, with one hand on Su Yuchen's shoulder.
Su Yuchen, who was usually taciturn, nodded.
"Yes, that's a very vivid description."
Enraged, the Third Elder reached out with his hands, forming claws, to grab Yun Yao from Su Yuchen's arms.
"Little girl, you shouldn't have offended me! Today I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents!"
Yun Yao looked at the Third Elder, whose face was full of murderous intent, with a smile on her face, her expression unchanged.
The Third Elder's hand was about to touch Yun Yao's shoulder when it was blocked by another hand.
Su Yuchen raised his lowered eyes, exuding a terrifying aura.
"You dare to hurt her?"
His voice, as cold as ice, fell as he clenched his fist with the hand that wasn't around Yun Yao's waist, launching fierce attacks at the person opposite him.
The Third Elder looked at the two people in front of him in shock, struggling to withstand Su Yuchen's attacks.
The little boy who timidly hid behind Xiao Yun back then has grown up to this extent? She can force him back with just one hand?
Yun Yao, nestled in Su Yuchen's arms, still looked on with amusement, her movements against him becoming even more alluring.
The fight between Su Yuchen and the Third Elder was so fast that no one could see it clearly. The First Elder, however, looked somewhat nervous and hurriedly pulled the Third Elder away.
"Third brother, stop fighting," the eldest elder said in a deep voice.
Su Yuchen withdrew his attack, took the tissue Yun Yao handed him, and carefully wiped his fingers.
Although it was a ceasefire, the standoff between the two sides seemed to be far from over. Su Yuchen's extremely contemptuous gaze fell on the Third Elder's face.
The person who was blocked behind the Grand Elder glared fiercely at Su Yuchen.
Upon seeing this, Bu Lanying immediately stepped forward.
"Su Yuchen, how dare you disrespect the Third Elder? Have you forgotten all your manners? Apologize to the Third Elder right now!" Bu Lanying was certain that Su Yuchen would not apologize.
As it turned out, her guess was correct; Su Yuchen's gaze became even sharper, which instilled fear in people's hearts.
Seeing that Su Yuchen was truly angry, Yun Yao gently tapped his arm, signaling him to hold back.
Sensing Yun Yao's intention, Su Yuchen's gaze softened slightly. They could remain still, but...
"Apologize to her."
Su Yuchen said this to the Third Elder.
The Third Elder felt that what had happened today was too unbelievable, and he looked at Su Yuchen in disbelief.
The Su family has existed for so many years. Whether it was prosperous or declining, their status has always been very high, second only to the head of the family. But now, someone is openly showing contempt for him.
"Kid, if you do that again..."
"Hey? Why are you all so angry today? It's just because of some trivial matters. We're all family. What, do you want to kill each other?" The First Elder raised his hand to stop the Third Elder.
Since the First Elder had spoken, even if the Third Elder was resentful, he dared not disobey him. Moreover, he believed that the First Elder was the one among the three who valued the position of elder the most!
Sure enough, the Grand Elder's voice rang out the next second.
"Su Yuchen, out of affection we are your elders, and out of principle we are still the meritorious servants who have protected the Su family. You still need to apologize!"
"But I guarantee that as long as you apologize to the Third Elder, I will make him apologize to this young lady." The First Elder's words seemed to leave room for maneuver, but they were spoken in an unquestionable tone.
This not only angered Su Yuchen, but also Yun Yao, who wanted to reap the benefits without lifting a finger.
Meanwhile, Bu Lanying nodded to herself, her eyes filled with the satisfaction of a successful scheme.
The tactic of using someone else to do the dirty work is truly effective time and again!
Su Weiwen took in Bu Lanying's expression, but he made no move, simply lowering his eyes to peel the orange in his hand.
Yun Yao stood up, her fine red gauze flowing in the wind. She turned around and sat down next to Su Yuchen, crossing her legs and giving him a cold look.
"Gentlemen, this old Taoist priest started it, and now he wants us to apologize. What, are you planning to take advantage of your age in front of me?" In terms of age, the combined age of everyone present is less than a fraction of Yun Yao's.
At this moment, the Grand Elder, who was standing at the forefront, felt a shiver from his very soul—an instinctive reaction to danger!
This woman is definitely not to be underestimated!
But... if they suffer a setback here today, where will their authority as elders be?
Yun Yao noticed the murderous intent in the elder's eyes. She calmly accepted the water Su Yuchen offered her and took a small sip with an elegant demeanor.
“As far as I know, some prominent families will enshrine elders in their homes, but their duty is to protect their families. But I ask you, where were you when Su Feng died?” Yun Yao put down her teacup, making a crisp sound.
The elder's gaze faltered slightly, and the hand that had been forming a heavy fist behind his back gradually loosened.
"We need to see him dead or alive. Su Feng's body hasn't been found, so it's not certain whether he's dead or not." The Second Elder, who hadn't made a move until now, stepped forward and shielded the First Elder and Third Elder behind him.
This person is much smarter than the two of them, and Yun Yao also likes to play with smart people.
"Oh, is that so? Then please explain to me, Second Elder, why is the head of the Su family a person with a different surname?" Yun Yao's gaze fell on Bu Lanying.
