"Then why did Xu Yu look so serious? I thought..."
"What bad news did he receive?" He was still unwilling to give up.
"Because he used all his resources to launch this impeachment, it was a do-or-die situation, which is why he was so anxious about the outcome," Sang Hong explained.
Pei You was speechless. One was confident of victory but looked worried, while the other was clearly doomed to lose but had a big smile on his face. What was wrong with this world?
“Lord Sang, Gao Ying has managed to keep his soldiers under control these past few days. He said that if things get out of hand later, he can…” Pei You said, making a gesture as he spoke.
Sang Hong glared at him: "Nonsense! The Emperor and all the officials will be watching this soon. Do you want his entire clan to be exterminated?"
"What should we do then? Are we really going to let our ancestor become a traitor?" Pei You naturally understood the importance of this meeting; soon Zu'an would be doomed.
Sang Hong sighed: "Now that things have come to this, we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate."
His mood was not as calm as he appeared. Pei You and Gao Ying were just doing what was right because they were friends with Zu An. Even if Zu An really got into trouble, it wouldn't affect them too much.
But he was different. He had previously tied the entire Sang family to him, and if something happened to him this time, the Sang family would most likely be finished.
Qian'er, you won't blame your father, will you...?
Just then, a bell rang in the distance from the city, and everyone in the room was startled, realizing that the time was almost up.
Xu Yu glanced around and asked in a deep voice, "Has the Duke not arrived yet?"
At this moment, a subordinate reported: "According to the person who went to invite him, the Duke is in seclusion recuperating from his injuries and it is inconvenient for him to come out."
"I'm going into seclusion to recuperate," Xu Yu sneered, and said nothing more.
However, the others in the room sensed something was amiss. During this period, various major events had occurred in the Yu family, especially the matter of Yu Yanluo. Although the Duke of Yunzhong had initially made a strong statement, he quickly disappeared.
As is widely known, the relationship between the Duke of Yunzhong and Yu Yanluo is not limited to that of husband and wife, but also that of their most steadfast allies.
When the Yu family ran into trouble, many of the Jian family's forces became restless and rushed to see Jian Yanyou, but he consistently avoided them.
Rumors gradually spread within the Jian family that the Duke was no longer in the mansion, or even that he had died from his injuries.
At first, everyone thought it was a rumor, but the Duke never came forward to clarify, and even though many of the Jian family's forces were seeking other ways out, he remained indifferent. So everyone began to suspect that something had really happened to him.
ahzww.
The Yu family is finished, and so is the Jian family!
The leaders of the various factions in the room were like sharks seeing blood; they were determined to divide up the interests of the two families as much as possible in the coming period.
