The man laughed smugly.
"Your foolish brother is really easy to use."
"I just showed him some fake stuff and said that you slept with his wife, and he turned against you without even thinking about it."
"You—" Ye Zunyu stared at him in shock and disbelief.
The Yan family and the Ye family have always been at odds, but this son of the Yan family was always abused by the Yan family. He even went hungry for a time and wore tattered clothes. Whenever he saw him, he would call him "uncle." Feeling sorry for him, he would often secretly bring him food.
I never expected to raise such an ungrateful child.
"And you're really stupid. I told you your brother tried to assassinate you in order to seize the throne of the Dragon Clan, and you actually believed me!"
"After that, I deliberately sent a letter to your parents, saying that you and your brother killed each other. After your parents received the letter, they left the Dragon Clan."
At this point, Ye Zunyu coughed up another mouthful of blood in anger.
He cried out weakly, "I should have... killed you back then!"
"Hahaha, kill me?" The man put the life-testing stone into his pocket, gave him one last look, and said, "Who dies first is still uncertain. Cherish the rest of your days."
"..."
Everyone stared in shock at the scene above.
Lord Yan, who originally wanted to take back the image, was now under the control of the Regent.
The Regent had been hiding his spiritual power for many years, a fact Ye Lanyin only learned after coming to the Dragon Clan.
I'm afraid my husband... is no ordinary person either.
"My God, I never imagined something like this happened back then?"
"I've never seen anything like it! The Yan family dares to scheme against the Ye family like this for the sake of the throne!"
"That's right! I've been fooled by him all along!!!"
"This is infuriating!!"
"Could there be some misunderstanding?"
"Lord Li, you're misunderstanding me! If you were in my shoes, what would you do?"
"I……"
"I understand. You're not supporting Lord Yan, are you?"
"No way..."
The situation spiraled out of control instantly.
Ye Yangyu clutched his chest, unable to speak from the pain. He had refused to believe it the moment his elder brother insisted on removing the dragon bone.
But after his elder brother left, there was no news of him. They couldn't find him at all, and their parents died of depression because of this.
"I never expected that my older brother would raise such an ungrateful child who would repay kindness with enmity!"
"That's right. If an ordinary person were hit like that, even if they didn't lose half their life, they wouldn't live much longer..."
Xiao Rui'an clenched his fists, desperately trying to control his urge to get angry.
So, after my maternal grandfather returned to his home, he began to feel unwell, but he did not tell his family.
No wonder my maternal grandfather died young; he was murdered.
"I never imagined that the dragon race could have such a despicable side, not even sparing those who have been kind to them for the sake of the dragon throne."
"So it was you who killed my great-grandfather!"
Ye Yangyu, leaning on his cane, walked up to Lord Yan and then slammed the cane heavily on the ground, making a dull thud.
He said sternly, "If I do not avenge my elder brother today, I am not worthy of being called a dragon!"
"You caused my family to be destroyed and my life to be filled with guilt. My Ye family will definitely settle this score with you to the very end!"
"That's right. Father said that you were the one who tricked him into the Dragon Tomb. You also secretly used evil magic on him, which damaged his vocal cords and made him unable to speak."
"Today, we will certainly hold you accountable!"
Lord Yan, restrained by the Regent, raised his head and said, "Your Ye family has sat on the throne for a hundred years; it's time to relinquish it. Which minister here doesn't harbor resentment?"
"That's no excuse for you to hurt my older brother!!" Ye Yangyu trembled with anger.
Back then, the Dragon King had no son, so he initiated a system of recommending a new Dragon King through the recommendation of his officials. With the recommendation of his officials, the Ye family received one more vote than the Yan family.
It was this vote that made the Yan family hate the Ye family.
Over the years, they have secretly fought countless battles, from the imperial court to the inner quarters.
"I never expected that the life-testing stone, which I nurtured with so much spiritual energy, would fail to erase Ye Zunyu's last image. This was my mistake!"
"However, even if you kill me, so what? The Yan family has so many descendants..." Lord Yan's evil face showed no remorse, only scheming and plotting. "Yan Chenghong will be back soon. He is also of legitimate blood, and then..."
"Hahaha..." Lord Yan laughed wildly and unrestrainedly in the main hall.
This is the day he's been waiting for; it'll be here soon...
"Snap!"
Suddenly, a leopard-print pouch fell out of Xiao Wanwan's arms, scattering melon seeds and peanuts all over the ground.
Everyone looked on curiously.
Xiao Wanwan awkwardly squatted down and picked up the food from the ground.
Waaaaah, my snacks...
"Hehe, haha, hehe..." she roared inwardly, but smiled awkwardly on the surface.
Just then, Lord Yan's eyes widened, staring intently at the leopard-print purse on the ground.
Trembling, he asked, "Where...where did you get this purse?"
Xiao Wanwan pinched the purse. "This?"
"On our way here, we caught a snake and made a bag out of its skin."
"What do you think? You think it looks good too?"
"Today is my first day on the throne. I was afraid of going hungry, so I specially asked Aunt Huaxin to pack a lot of snacks for me to eat. I originally wanted to eat them secretly, but I didn't expect you to find out..."
Ye Lanyin was completely unaware of this matter.
Seeing the sunflower seeds and peanuts scattered all over the ground, she took out the cloth bag that Wanwan had given her from her bosom and squatted down to help her pick them up.
