Chapter 220 From ecstasy to panic
The head of the family, seated at the head of the family, looked down at everything in the hall. It seemed the eldest son was unwilling to miss the opportunity to step on the second son! He didn't care about his sons' quarrels. He and his brothers had also grown up through quarrels in the past.
Of course, the premise is that the interests of the Wang family cannot be harmed. This time the matter has become a bit big.
He looked at Xiaoting's beautiful face and felt emotional. Judging from her appearance, she would have great achievements in the future, but why did she do these things?
"What are your opinions on Xiaoting's punishment?"
Xiao Ting was the first to speak: "Master, I request to be grounded for one year and have three years' salary deducted."
Xiaorong said, "Sister should be under house arrest. She has a terrible reputation in Qingwu City right now. My friend said yesterday that she wouldn't dare go out. It would bring shame to the family."
As she spoke, she glanced at the patriarch's face, which had indeed darkened. She knew that if the interests of the Wang family were involved, the patriarch would definitely punish her severely.
Dongfeng Lingshuang glanced at Xiaorong and said, "In my opinion, if Xiaoting never leaves her home again, the opinions of the cultivators in Qingwu City about her will never change. We might as well do something to change their opinions."
Zhou Zhimei looked at Dongfeng Lingshuang and said, "Second Madam really cares about Xiaoting. If she shows up outside, won't people say that our Wang family is protecting her and not punishing her? Isn't that going back on our word?"
Wang Chenhao said, "Then let's just ground him for a while and talk about it later."
Wang Chenhui said, "Is it just house arrest? Second brother, you only have this daughter, you can't spoil her too much! Otherwise, she will get into trouble in the future, which will be even worse!"
Wang Chenhao fell silent after hearing this, and everyone looked at the head of the family.
He said, "According to what the boss wants, how do you plan to punish me?"
After thinking for a while, Wang Chenhui said, "Send it to the manor outside the city, in front of all the monks in the city."
Dongfeng Lingshuang's face changed. Is he planning to kill Xiaoting? Once Xiaoting was sent out of the city, without the protection of the Wang family, it would be easy for the Wang family's uncle to harm Xiaoting. Unexpectedly, this man was even more ruthless.
She looked at the head of the family.
"Our Wang family's legitimate daughter..."
Halfway through his words, the head of the Wang family saw the housekeeper Wang walk in.
"The monks outside are clamoring for the Wang family to send the eldest daughter out of Qingwu City."
Wang Chenhui had an expression that said, "I knew it would be like this." Wang Xiaozhong's mouth twitched, and he pressed it down hard.
Zhou Zhimei glanced at Dongfeng Lingshuang and saw her looking at the head of the family nervously. She was very happy in her heart, but she had to pretend to be worried on her face. The expression on her face was a little distorted.
Patriarch Wang said, "Since we have just promised those cultivators, let's just do it..."
Xiaoting said with tears in her eyes, "Grandfather, don't you want Xiaoting anymore?"
The head of the family frowned. This granddaughter was indeed his favorite and her cultivation was also good.
Wang Xiaozhong said, "Grandfather, you must not be soft-hearted! What you decide affects the reputation of the Wang family! If the Wang family's reputation is ruined, how can we have the authority to manage Qingwu City in the future?"
Patriarch Wang looked at Xiaoting and said, "Although I think sending you out of the city is a bit excessive, we still have to put on an act for outsiders. At most, Grandfather will secretly send someone to protect you, but you must never do such bullying things again."
Xiaoting looked at the head of the family with tears in her eyes.
Zhou Zhimei and Wang Xiaozhong were excited as they were about to achieve their goal.
Wang Xiaozhong thought that as long as Wang Xiaoting was sent out of the city, he would have more room to operate. He could kill her without anyone knowing, and then blame her on those low-level monks or monsters.
Zhou Zhimei liked to see the desperate look on the face of the arrogant Dongfeng Lingshuang, and also liked to see the domineering eldest lady being stepped on and looking sad and angry.
Just when the head of the household was about to make a decision and everyone felt that the situation was settled, and even Xiaoting felt that she could not escape being sent out of the city, Dongfeng Lingshuang stood up.
Everyone looked at her, and she said, "Actually, I'm also responsible for Xiaoting's behavior. I didn't teach her the principles of being a good person. But she's not a bad person by nature. She was just led astray by someone with ulterior motives."
After hearing the first part of the words, Zhou Zhimei was hoping that Dongfeng Lingshuang would punish herself. But after hearing the second part of the words, her face changed drastically and she became nervous.
Xiaorong opened her eyes wide and dared not speak.
Wang Xiaozhong's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.
Wang Xiaohui asked, "Then who led him astray?"
Dongfeng Lingshuang took out something, which was a photo stone that was sent to her by Gu Yue.
She threw it into the air, injecting a trace of spiritual energy into it. The image stone was activated, and an image appeared in the air. In front of her was Wang Xiaozhong, dressed in a crimson robe, leaning lazily against the back of a chair.
When Gu Yue asked him why he did this, he said quietly but clearly, "My purpose is to ruin Wang Xiaoting's reputation."
When Gu Yue asked him again, "But what good will this do for you? How can you convince me that you would destroy the Wang family's reputation just to help us?"
The head of the Wang family glanced at Wang Xiaozhong with a gloomy face, then turned his head to look up into the sky.
Wang Xiaozhong smiled and said, "If she brings trouble to the Wang family, I will ask the head of the family to expel her from the Wang family, and then she will not affect the Wang family anymore."
Finally, Gu Yue said, "Oh! So Wang Xiaoting is so arrogant and domineering because of you! I understand."
He didn't refute it either.
The patriarch looked at this scene, his expression becoming even gloomier. He asked, "Xiao Zhong, what do you have to say?"
Wang Xiaozhong's face turned pale, his brain working frantically, thinking of a way to crack it.
He just looked at the angle carefully and it should not be the photo stone used by Gu Yue. It might have been originally in the inn. It must have been arranged by Dongfeng Lingshuang.
He said, "This must be a forgery. How could I possibly do such a thing?"
Zhou Zhimei's ecstasy suddenly turned into panic. She murmured, "How could this happen? It's obviously not like this."
Dongfeng Lingshuang looked at him coldly and said, "The evidence is here, you can't deny it."
As she spoke, she pulled her daughter to sit next to her and looked at the head of the family, wanting to see how he would deal with the matter.
"Master, the eldest son deliberately used Ting'er to destroy the Wang family's reputation, causing the Wang family to lose so many healing pills and spirit stones, and causing my Ting'er to become like this. What do you think should be done with her?"
Wang Chenhao looked at his elder brother with a look of heartache: "Brother, how could you hurt my Ting'er like this? I have always respected you the most."
Wang Chenhui looked at Wang Chenhao in shock and said, "Second brother, I know nothing about this matter, really!"
"How could you not know that Xiaozhong did such a thing? If you didn't know, then Xiaozhong is really reckless and doesn't take you seriously."
