"Young master, young lady, may I ask your honorable surnames, esteemed immortals?" Qian Manping practically groveled.
"Who do you think you are, to know the names of my young lady and her husband?" Although Xi Que didn't hear Qian Ying's instructions, she had been through so many storms with Ji Fengyao and had figured things out. At this moment, she looked very fierce: "Speak quickly if you have something to say, or shut up if you have something to say, don't delay my young lady and her husband's important business!"
Qian Manping was sprayed in the face by a sparrow, but seeing that Ji Fengyao and Shang Xiye also looked impatient, he didn't dare to get angry.
Qian Mancang quickly squeezed in and continued his clever maneuver: "My two esteemed immortals, it's like this, although we are also members of the Qian family, we are not with the family heads Qian Manguan and Qian Youying. As you can see, we live in separate courtyards. When you came in, I knew that both of your families came in from outside, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes," Qian Manping nodded vigorously, agreeing with the saying, "As the saying goes, misfortune should not befall the whole family. The father and son, Qian Manguan and Qian Youying, offended the Immortal, but we knew nothing about it, and we have no disrespect for the Immortal whatsoever!"
“My lord, my father is right. We are willing to sever ties with those two bastards, Qian Manguan and Qian Youying,” Qian Youduo said loudly, showing his ability to get along with others.
“My lord, I agree with my second uncle and eldest brother’s opinion. Our third branch is also willing to sever ties with those two bastards and expel those two, no, the entire first branch of the Qian family from our Qian family!” Qian Youlai and Qian Youfeng shouted louder and louder.
Qian Manguan knew that the second and third wives were always shrewish, but he still harbored some affection and illusions for them in the past.
He always thought that they were family, blood relatives, and that when the Qian family was in danger, they would naturally unite with him to resist the enemy and protect the Qian family.
But he never expected that the second and third wives would be so heartless at this crucial moment.
They didn't even bother to ask what happened before decisively extricating themselves from the situation;
He even wished he could personally escort the father and son to apologize to the young lady and son-in-law, just to get away.
“Ying’er, you’re right. It’s better to have no relatives like these tigers and wolves than to have any…” Qian Manguan’s round body swayed slightly as he raised his trembling hand to wipe his red and wet eyes.
Qian Youying quickly reached out to support Qian Manguan, his expression also extremely unpleasant. He used telepathy to comfort Qian Manguan, saying, "Don't worry, Father. We've cleared ourselves of these parasites and scoundrels in the clan. From now on, we'll wholeheartedly follow Miss and Son-in-law. The Qian family will become even more prosperous and powerful."
Qian Manguan choked back tears and turned away, not wanting to look at his blood relatives, brothers, and nephews any longer. He grabbed Qian Youying's sleeve and burst into tears.
"Are you willing to break away from the Qian family?" Ji Fengyao's phoenix eyes were cold as she glanced at Qian Mancangping and the others.
To detach, to break free?
Qian Mancang and Qian Manping were momentarily stunned by Ji Fengyao's choice of words.
This word doesn't sound like a good word.
But when they met Ji Fengyao and Shang Xiye's murderous gazes, they immediately became so cowardly that they lost their bearings, only thinking about saving their lives, and kept saying "uh-huh" as if they wished they could break their necks.
"And you, are there any of you who want to break away from the Qian family and sever ties with Qian Manguan and Qian Youying's branch of the family?" Ji Fengyao coldly glanced at the other Qian family members who had gathered in the courtyard and asked in a detached tone.
