The Zhu family's head thought for a moment, his face becoming serious. He said solemnly, "This matter is our family affair, so please don't bother Miss Lan with it! Please go back!"
Directly issuing an order to expel the guest is clearly a failure to distinguish right from wrong. Is this a form of favoritism?
Lan Ziye's face instantly darkened, and he said confidently, "Zhu Fei is my good friend, and Zhu Ning is also my good friend. Now that this matter has affected both of my good friends, I must get to the bottom of this matter!"
The Zhu family patriarch's expression darkened as he stared at Lan Ziye fiercely, his aura fully revealed.
If it were any other youngster, they would not dare to persist even if they were not scared to death. However, Lan Ziye was not afraid at all. He raised his head and met the gaze of the head of the Zhu family directly. The aura of looking down on the world around him was even higher than that of the head of the Zhu family.
After a moment, the Zhu family's patriarch gave up, sighed, and said in a gentle tone, "Even if the eldest daughter-in-law did it, can I punish the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhu family for an illegitimate daughter?"
"Why not?" Lan Ziye said firmly, "Killing someone means paying with your life!"
The Zhu family head's face darkened again, and he said unhappily, "When I first suspected Zhu Ning, I never thought of asking him to pay for Zhu Fei's life. Similarly, I will definitely not let the Zhu family's eldest daughter-in-law pay for the life of an illegitimate daughter this time!"
Lan Ziye narrowed his eyes and said, "I once heard that the Zhu family's head doted on Zhu Fei. I never thought that in the end, this doting could not be exchanged for the truth or justice!"
"It doesn't matter what you say now. In short, this matter ends here, and no one is allowed to mention it again!" The head of the Zhu family gave a death order in a deep voice. Then, he turned to look at Zhu Ning with a loving look and said, "Come home, child! Since you can feel spiritual power, the family will focus on training you in the future, and all resources will be prioritized for you!"
Zhu Ning looked at the head of the family and then at Lan Ziye, feeling a little embarrassed. She really wanted to seek justice for Zhu Fei, but she knew that the head of the family was doing this for the good of the entire Zhu family. No family would punish the wife of the eldest son for the death of an illegitimate daughter.
However, Zhu Fei is not only her illegitimate daughter but also her good friend. She still has the pills prepared for her by Zhu Fei in her pocket!
After pondering for a while, Zhu Ning looked at the head of the Zhu family and asked weakly, "Can you call my aunt over to ask?" After a pause, he continued, "Dealing with her or not is one thing, but making the truth known to the world is another. Zhu Fei can't just die in such an unclear way. We must give her justice!"
The head of the Zhu family frowned and said unhappily, "Zhu Ning, do you know what you are saying? Don't forget that you are also a member of the Zhu family. If this matter is not investigated, the Zhu family can save face. But if it is investigated, regardless of whether your aunt is punished in the end, the Zhu family's face will be completely destroyed. Even your reputation and your marriage will be affected!"
Lan Ziye sneered, "Who says that whether or not to punish her will affect the Zhu family's reputation? As long as we investigate the matter thoroughly, follow the rules, and punish the eldest lady, the Zhu family will not only preserve its reputation, but also gain a reputation for being selfless and strict in family management!"
As soon as Lan Ziye finished speaking, before the head of the Zhu family had time to refute, a sudden noise was heard outside the hall.
The head of the Zhu family was already upset, and now hearing the noisy noise, he was even more furious. He turned around and ran to the door in two steps. Just as he was about to shout, he saw a man in a green robe rushing in.
