What exactly happened in Chapter 386?
When Mrs. Sun arrived at her youngest son's house with her entourage, she was worried that her youngest son and daughter-in-law would cause trouble. But it turned out that her youngest son and daughter-in-law had already started tidying up.
Sun found it even stranger.
More than anything, I want to know what happened?
Taking a moment to walk over to her youngest son, Mrs. Sun asked in a low voice, "Why is your wife so obedient? What happened?"
Xie Zhiyu also wanted to know. "Don't ask me, I don't know either. My dad had Uncle Liu tell us: if I don't move, he'll expel me from the clan, and if my wife doesn't move, she'll pack her things and go back to her parents' home."
Mrs. Sun was startled. "Is it that serious?"
Xie Zhiyu nodded. "Otherwise, why would my wife and I have moved? Mom, this matter can't just be left like this. You have to compensate my wife and me."
"Okay, hurry up and move it."
On the other side, Chief Xie summoned the clan elders and heads of various families to the ancestral hall.
The eldest uncle, the second uncle, said as soon as he arrived, "Why open the ancestral hall when it's neither a holiday nor a festival?"
Chief Xie said with a solemn expression, "Seventh Brother's wife has returned with the children."
Second Uncle said nonchalantly, "Let them come back, what can they possibly do to us?"
Chief Xie looked around to make sure everyone who was supposed to be there had arrived before saying, "The Crown Princess has sent people to bring Seventh Prince's wife and Seventh Prince's children and grandchildren to the palace. The people sent by the Crown Princess said that the Crown Princess wants to give them a welcome feast."
Although Chief Xie felt that Old Lady Tian and her group couldn't escape his grasp, just to be on the safe side, he still sent people to stake out the city gate. And what they found was this terrifying incident.
The people in the ancestral hall found it unbelievable.
"Why would the Crown Princess host a welcome dinner for them?"
"How could they possibly become the Crown Princess?"
"Has the seventh prince sided with the Crown Princess?"
"Impossible. With the Seventh Prince's temperament, even if the Crown Princess puts a knife to his throat, he won't back down."
"Why did the Crown Princess host a welcome dinner for the seventh prince's wife and his children and grandchildren?"
"Is the Crown Princess trying to use them to force the Seventh Prince to submit?"
Everyone thought this guess was the most plausible, so they all stopped and looked at Chief Xie and the elders.
Chief Xie: "I also think this is the most likely possibility."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard him say that.
Unexpectedly, Chief Xie continued, "Regardless of why the Crown Princess is hosting a welcome banquet for them, all they need to do is tell the Crown Princess that we've seized their family property and we're finished. To the Crown Princess, crushing us is as easy as crushing an ant."
Everyone's expressions froze instantly.
Chief Xie looked at the clan elders. "Do you think what I said is right?"
The elders remained silent.
Make them spit out what they've already eaten...
Why is the Crown Princess suddenly getting involved in this? Isn't the Crown Princess only interested in eating, drinking, and having fun?
Seeing that the elders remained silent, Chief Xie asked again, "Do you think what I said is right?"
The second uncle tapped the ground a few times with his cane. "That seventh son of mine, he's always causing trouble for the clan!"
The other elders also criticized Xie Fugui.
Seeing that they were still trying to evade the issue even at this point, Chief Xie stood up from his chair. "I know it's difficult for you to hand over the money you've already obtained. But compared to life, money is nothing."
“If you’re willing to give it to them, I’ll help you return it to Lao Qi’s family. If you’re not willing, I won’t force you.”
"Alright, that's all I have to say. Figure it out yourselves. I'm going to help Zhiyu move."
After saying that, Chief Xie was about to leave.
The crowd quickly reached out to stop them.
"Chieftain, you can't leave."
"Yes. What will we do without you?"
"It's not that we're unwilling to contribute, it's just that... it's just that..."
"I'm just not reconciled."
"Yes, I'm not reconciled."
"Clan leader, do you think they still know how to please the Crown Princess after living in the countryside for so many years?"
Chief Xie had a headache listening to this. "Alright! Enough! There are only two options now: one, return the Seventh Prince's assets and all his earnings over the years to him; two, gamble that the Crown Princess won't help the Seventh Prince's family. If you win, you won't have to spend any money; if you lose, you'll either lose your money or your life."
"Those who don't want to gamble, come with me to look through the account books and see how much money you've taken from Lao Qi's family."
"Those who want to gamble, go home."
"For the sake of our shared clan, I suggest you recall the Crown Princess's great achievements and think about how good she was to those around her?"
After saying that, Chief Xie pushed through the crowd and left.
On the other side, Old Master Tian was discussing with his two younger brothers: which lawyer should they hire if they were to sue the Xie family?
Tian Lao Er rushed in, his face beaming with excitement. "Father! Father! The Crown Princess has sent someone to invite my second aunt's family to the palace! The Crown Princess wants to host a welcome feast for my second aunt's family!"
The three old men jumped to their feet. "What did you say?"
"The Crown Princess is going to host a welcome dinner for my second aunt's family, and they have entered the palace."
Old Master Tian still couldn't believe it. "Second brother, pinch me."
The two old men couldn't believe it either. "Third brother, pinch me."
Third Master: "Big Brother, pinch me."
In the end, all three old brothers got hit.
Tian Lao Er took a few breaths. "I couldn't believe it either. I didn't believe it until my second aunt's family finished washing up and changed into the new clothes that the people who came to take them to the palace had prepared for them."
The three old brothers asked, "Did the people who came to pick up your second aunt and the others even prepare new clothes for them?"
