Lord Yan roared wildly, his hands trembling as he held the purse with the care of someone who had just recovered a lost treasure.
"You killed my son and used his dragon skin to make a sack!!"
"My son..."
His proud son, he thought, had gone to do something important, something related to the throne, so he hadn't told him where he was.
Who would have thought that I'd be exposed like this?
Tell me, where is my son?
Xiao Wanwan: "How would I know if you ask me?"
"Give it back!" She jumped up, snatched the things from Lord Yan's hands, and then stuffed all the melon seeds into them.
"It took me all night of baking and roasting to make this little purse from the leftover scraps."
"If you dare to steal from me, I will charge you with theft!"
Everyone: "..." She really would do that.
"You're talking nonsense! This is my son's dragon skin!!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wanwan withdrew her smile, recalling the time they were chased in the bamboo forest last time.
So, it was you who wanted to kill us?
She then turned and walked up into the main hall.
Because she wasn't tall enough, Ye Jianxing had to carry her to her seat.
“Since the old man has become mute, there’s no need to summon him. I don’t mind.”
"Uncle Yan, you killed my great-grandfather, stole his birth stone, and indirectly caused the deaths of my great-great-grandfather and great-great-grandmother. How could you be so evil?"
Lord Yan felt no threat whatsoever to the child before him, especially since the child was speaking with a smile, which made him even more convinced that she was unfit for the position.
When he saw the regent approaching, he took a step to the side, somewhat frightened.
"You killed my son, do you think I'll let you get away with this?!" He glared at the crowd, secretly summoning spiritual power in his palm.
But in just a moment, it was wiped out by a stinky bird that suddenly flew in.
She took a deep breath and said angrily, "Do you think you can convict me based on just that one image of the birth stone?"
"Even if you are the Dragon King, so what? I am still a veteran official here, and I have a voice in the court!"
He refused to believe that the child could do anything to her!
The old Dragon King sat to one side, his fists clenched tightly.
Upon hearing his words, Ye Yangyu felt a surge of anger welling up inside her, with nowhere to vent it.
Over the years, he hadn't had a single night of restful sleep. He finally learned that his elder brother's descendants were coming, and he thought his elder brother would also return. Little did he know that his elder brother had barely lived a few days after having his dragon bones removed.
"Yan Tianze, even if I die, I will take you down with me!"
Ye Lanyin clenched her fists, unable to suppress the hatred in her eyes.
If it weren't for him, my grandfather wouldn't have passed away so early, and this became the only pain in my father's heart.
Although her father didn't say it, she knew that he missed her grandfather.
Previously, I always thought it was because my grandfather was in poor health. If it weren't for the Dragon Clan's visit this time, I would never have known about these past grievances.
If Father knew, he would surely seek revenge.
"Let's see if you have the ability." Lord Yan suppressed his grief, glanced at Ye Jianyi, and quickly looked away.
"You killed my son, and the Yan family will never forgive you. When I get back, I'll tell my son, Dize, that your Ye family can just wait to collect his body!"
He looked at the child sitting on the dragon throne. Since the dragon throne did not belong to his eldest son, he would make the entire Ye family be buried with his son!
The Yan family had two sons, the eldest, Cheng Hong, and the youngest, Cheng Bai, both of whom he had groomed from childhood to succeed him to the throne.
He had been preparing for this move for many years.
Why not wait a little longer?
"Your youngest son?" Xiao Wanwan blinked and asked, turning her head.
"Yes, my youngest son!"
"Oh, is that the one who secretly takes care of your youngest son and calls you 'Dad'?"
Lord Yan was taken aback. "What did you say?"
“I didn’t say anything. I just said you’re rich, raising someone else’s son like a treasure.”
Upon hearing this, Lord Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Don't talk nonsense! Cheng Bai is my son, and it's clearly recorded on the birth certificate!"
"It will absolutely not go wrong."
But his hands trembled involuntarily as he said this.
The officials around him whispered among themselves upon hearing this.
Upon hearing this, Yao Qianshu became interested and grabbed Xiao Wanwan, asking, "Are you serious??"
“Yes.” She then whispered in Yao Qianshu’s ear, “Tianfeng said so.”
Lord Yan didn't believe it; he only felt that Xiao Wanwan had deliberately harmed him.
After all, he had used similar methods to frame Ye Yangyu back then, accusing Ye Zunyu of stealing his wife.
"Don't think I don't know; you've come here on purpose to provoke me."
"Let me tell you, even if you talk yourselves hoarse, I still won't believe you..."
"Then if I said he was your son, would you believe me?" Xiao Wanwan suddenly pointed at Ye Jianyi and asked Lord Yan.
Lord Yan's thoughts were abruptly interrupted.
He stared blankly at Ye Jianyi, who stood not far away, without saying a word.
"His eyes look a lot like yours, and his mouth looks a lot like yours too."
"And it was he who told you our whereabouts when we arrived that your eldest son died."
"It's all his fault!"
How would I know it's your son?
[That snake was trying to kill my parents; I was already being very kind by not chopping it into mincemeat.]
Upon hearing this, Lord Yan's eyes flashed with a subtle, almost imperceptible emotion.
The officials present, in particular, stared at Xiao Wanwan in disbelief.
"How could Ye Jianyi be a child of the Yan family?"
“That’s right, he is clearly born of Consort Xue, he is Consort Xue…”
"Good heavens, could it be that Lord Yan is secretly having an affair with Consort Xue?"
“I think it’s possible. You didn’t see it, but from yesterday to today, Ye Jianyi has been speaking up for the Yan family. I was wondering why Ye Jianyi would side with outsiders. Turns out he’s their son?”
"No, he is not my son, Ye Jianyi..."
"No?" Xiao Wanwan touched the Heavenly Phoenix and looked down. "Isn't there a life-testing stone? Can't we just do a quick test and find out?"
"Perfect timing. The birth test stone here was created by you through the later stages of your Gu cultivation. Why don't you just drop a drop of blood on it and test if he is your son?"
As soon as Xiao Wanwan finished speaking, Ye Jianyi's expression clearly changed.
He involuntarily took a step back and said, "No, I am a child of the Ye family, and I grew up with my eldest brother since I was a child."
"If it's a matter of compromise, then growing up with Ye Jianxing since childhood is no excuse!"
"Yes, now that the elder is here, we humbly request that the elder step forward and make the decision!"
