"What right do you have to talk to me? Yes, I wanted Le Zhengpeng dead, but you did the same to him. What's the difference between us? We're both of the Le family bloodline, after all. Cold-bloodedness is ingrained in our bones. Nobody can say anything to anyone else."
With a cold curl of his lips, Green Tea revealed a mocking smile that was neither a smile nor a laugh. He couldn't believe that Le Zhengpeng, who was perfectly fine before, would suddenly turn out like this.
Undeniably, Lü Ming's feelings for Le Zhengpeng were not purely familial; rather, they were largely based on manipulation. Upon seeing Le Zhengpeng lying motionless on the bed, pale-faced, her first reaction was that he was dead. This subconscious reaction further confirms that Lü Ming indeed wanted Le Zhengpeng dead.
“You’re right.” Wuyou reached out and played with a stray strand of hair falling beside her temple, nodding in agreement. She herself was emotionally deficient, lacking in genuine feeling. “Lvming, you’re a smart person. Why don’t you guess why I captured you?”
"Why should I?" Green Tea retorted instinctively, only to feel a sharp pain on her face as she fell to the ground due to inertia, her cheek burning with pain.
It turned out that one of the two men next to Lvming had made the move. His eyes were wide open like copper bells, which made Lvming tremble all over.
"It seems it's been too long since anyone disciplined them; they've even forgotten the most basic rules." Wuyou narrowed her eyes slightly, a fierce glint flashing in her peach blossom eyes. Her emotions were partly influenced by Le Wuyou, after all, Le Wuyou's hatred for Lüming was the deepest.
"I..." Green Tea opened her mouth to refute, but another slap came as expected, and so on and so forth.
"I'll talk, I'll talk. You only brought me here to threaten Ye Fan so that the Le family can be safe." As an ancient family, the Le family's skills in training their servants are not to be underestimated. They used to be lenient with him, but Wuyou won't be anymore.
"Congratulations on answering incorrectly. Now I'm punishing you with a day trip to the Punishment Hall." Wuyou's face was cold and his eyes were sharp. Mo Ren uttered these words under Lvming's terrified gaze, watching helplessly as Lvming was dragged out, occasionally letting out sharp curses and screams.
Slowly straightening up, Wuyou walked leisurely to the bedside and looked down at Le Zhengpeng, whose face was pale and ashen. Wuyou remained silent, staring intently at Le Zhengpeng with her deep black eyes.
"What, what exactly do you want to do? I am your biological father. Those people from my Le family who you killed will not let you go." Le Zhengpeng trembled under that utterly unwitting gaze, and blurted out these words in a panic. He could find no other reason to live.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you." Wuyou tilted her head slightly, looking a little confused. In Le Wuyou's wish, he didn't want to kill Le Zhengpeng, but only to punish him. Since he didn't have this wish, there was no need for her to waste her time.
"Your health is not what it used to be. I don't know when you'll be finished. Why don't you give me the position of head of the Le family?" Wuyou said this with a slight part of her lips. It was so straightforward and yet so hurtful.
Le Zhengpeng felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if he had been shot with an arrow. This truth was hard for him to accept. But what did it matter how painful it was? He had no power to resist Wuyou, nor the power to control the entire Le family. Now, he was nothing more than a cripple clinging to life.
Having ambition is not a bad thing, but to realize one's ambition, one must have sufficient ability and conditions. Now, he is barely clinging to life, old and frail, with no other choice.
He used to think he was still young and in his prime, but reality slapped him in the face. Between his two daughters, Green Tea had become a useless person, and only his daughter, whom he had always looked down on and hated, could shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Le family.
"Fine, I can give you the position in the family, but you must protect my life and the Le family." Le Zhengpeng was breathing heavily; even breathing heavily was excruciatingly painful for him.
"Okay." Wuyou narrowed her eyes slightly and nodded without hesitation. Her straightforward manner made Le Zhengpeng breathe a sigh of relief.
Then Wuyou turned and left without hesitation. Just as she was about to step out the door, Le Zhengpeng's voice drifted over.
"Wuyou, you must protect the Le family well."
Wuyou paused slightly, then turned and left with a natural expression, it's unclear whether she heard him.
The Le family remained as calm as ever, as if nothing had happened, but the undercurrents there were palpable to everyone. The power of this ancient family was far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
Ye Fan originally planned to proceed slowly, but after Lü Ming was captured, he rushed to the Le family to break through in one fell swoop and rescue his woman.
Ye Fan's remarkable achievements could not escape the notice of these ancient families. As time went by, Ye Fan drew closer and closer to the Le family, and all the members of the Le family understood that they were about to face a powerful enemy.
Wuyou, at the center of the storm, remained remarkably calm, putting those around him at ease. Le Zhengpeng had officially handed the family over to Wuyou, who was now the rightful head of the Le family, with absolute obedience and control over all affairs.
If it were the old Le Wuyou, many people might have disagreed, but the current Wuyou is praised by everyone. After all, the current Wuyou has surpassed the Grandmaster level, which is enough to prove her talent.
Wuyou did not officially move into the main courtyard, but continued to live in her own small courtyard. Apart from the guards at the gate, there was no one else in the quiet courtyard. Wuyou meditated and cultivated alone in her bedroom.
