This time, Old Lady Fang acted with great vigor and decisiveness, showing some of the vigor she had when she was young.
However, no one knew that the reason Old Lady Fang was able to deal with Fang Yacun so smoothly this time was because she had the guidance of an expert and had secretly arranged the connections for her. Otherwise, given Fang Yacun's current situation, Old Lady Fang might not have been able to do so unexpectedly. Old Lady Fang believed that this was the result of the secret efforts of her daughter and son-in-law.
Except for the New Year and other festivals when the ancestors were worshipped, the Fang family had not opened the ancestral hall for many years. As for the grudge between Old Lady Fang and Fang Yacun, the other members of the Fang family were also confused. After all, this pair of legitimate mother and illegitimate son usually looked very loving and filial to each other. No one expected that they would either keep it quiet or make such a big fuss when they did.
Even though Fang Yacun was on guard, he did not expect that Old Lady Fang would suddenly gather so many people to open the ancestral hall and want to expel him from the Fang family. However, at the beginning, he was not worried that Old Lady Fang could bring him down with just a few words. Over the years, he had secretly gathered a lot of his own forces in the Fang clan.
Mrs. Fang Liu was almost thrown into disarray by this unexpected change. Fortunately, she had sent a letter to her brothers from her natal family early in the morning. Her natal family had some connections with the Fang family. Although this was the Fang family's family affair, if Mrs. Fang insisted on kicking Fang Yacun out of the house, Liu's natal family would not sit idly by.
However, on the day of opening the ancestral hall, Old Lady Fang took the foolish and naive Fang Yaxun and cried bitterly to the Fang clan members. The successive presentation of human and material evidence made Fang Yacun and his wife feel that something was wrong.
The Fang clan members' gazes towards Fang Yacun gradually changed.
After all, poisoning his brother and murdering the legitimate heir of the Fang family is a serious crime.
Although most of the evidence presented by Mrs. Fang points to Fang Yacun's biological mother, the long-deceased concubine, there is also evidence that someone continued to poison Fang Yaxun after the concubine's death. Could this person who continued to poison Fang Yacun be anyone else except Fang Yacun and Fang Yaru, the siblings who ultimately benefited?
After Old Lady Fang presented the evidence to her clan members for review, she threatened to report the matter to the authorities. However, some of the older clan elders disagreed. After all, this matter was not a glorious one for the Fang family. This kind of family scandal was usually resolved by the clan in the ancestral hall. In many cases, the clan law was more supported by the people in power in some large families than the laws of the court.
Fortunately, there were still some people who spoke up for Fang Yacun at this time. As for the fact that Fang Yacun's aunt poisoned Fang Yaxun, most people chose to believe it because of the solid evidence. Therefore, this part of people also defended Fang Yacun herself.
In the end, both sides insisted on their own opinions. In order to give himself a chance to catch his breath, Fang Yacun signaled to his people to take a temporary break. He needed time to find a way to get himself out of the current disadvantage.
The elders in the Fang family were old and a little exhausted after working all morning, so Old Lady Fang had no choice but to agree. She personally invited the respected elders to come over for tea and some food.
Fang Yacun could still maintain his courtesy at this time, but he only had some prestige among the younger generation. The old men and women didn't really buy his account, so he secretly called a few close people to talk to him aside.
Old Lady Fang saw this from above, but she just sneered and let him go. Compared to Fang Yacun's predicament, Old Lady Fang was confident that she had won.
Because the clan hadn't issued any orders regarding Fang Yacun, and Fang Yacun wasn't a criminal yet, and Old Lady Fang didn't stop him, no one else had anything to say.
