Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 792: Chapter 9: This Day! Afraid It’s Going to Change (Requesting Monthly Ticket)_2

Wu Dianshan’s face froze instantly. You little lad have gone too far. This was no longer about skirting around the issues, it was completely ripping off old wounds.

Wasn’t Qianrou’s “illness” and refusal to see guests caused by your troublemaking?

However, considering the stark age and generational gaps between both parties, Wu Dianshan, despite his belly full of dissatisfaction, found little sense in taking it out on a child of around ten years old. He could only glare at Wang Zong’an, saying, “Young Clan Leader Zong’an, did you bring your grandson here just to cause me trouble?”

Wang Zongan, although choking back laughs, had to put on a serious face and say, “Commandery Prince, let us focus on the matter at hand.”

Watching this scene from the side, the An Commandery Prince and his consort were surprised. What, in fact, could have happened to cause such discord between a dignified commandery prince and a handsome, striking little boy?

If they were not in such a state of anxiety, they might have found the situation rather amusing, given how much the Commandery Prince had lost face.

“Right, let’s focus on matters,” Gongye Qingrui quickly interjected, “Young Clan Leader Zong’an , what should we do next…?”

“Consort, please don’t worry, the Little Princess is unhurt,” Wang Zong’an turned around and said loudly, “Little Princess Yiluo, the Commandery Prince and his residence have come to find you. Please come out.”

Yiluo?

Here!

Following Wang Zong’an’s gaze, the An Commandery Prince and his consort indeed saw their darling daughter, hiding and shrinking in the corner.

“Wu Yiluo, you dare… come over here right now!” Gongye Qingrui, relieved of a huge burden, berated her immediately.

Wu Yiluo and Wang Anye were of the same ilk, as they came up twisting and turning from the corner, their faces downcast and showing no sign of liveliness. On reaching Wang Anye, she even gave him a stealthy glance, seeming to blame him; otherwise, she, the little princess, would’ve been free as a bird now.

“Wu Yiluo, tell me exactly what happened!” Gongye Qingrui grasped Wu Yiluo’s hand, unable to contain her rage, “I want every detail, and if you dare hide anything…”

In the face of this, Wu Yiluo shivered, her eyes turning crafty. “Mother! I, I’ve been wronged. It was Wang Anye, look, he was the one bullying me.”

The only way to escape in this situation was to divert the attention.

And so, the eyes of the An Commandery Prince and his consort, as well as the Lord of the Left County, fell on Wang Anye. A chilly atmosphere instantly enveloped the place.

“I?” Wang Anye stared wide-eyed, “When did I ever bully you?”

“Are you denying it? Didn’t you deceive me into a jail and used the sword move – vast as the sea – which took you just the time of burning one incense stick to learn, to shatter my clothes?” Wu Yiluo brought up charges against him, “You, you even held me, is that not humiliating me?”

Clothes… shattered? Held?

The An Commandery Prince and his consort exchanged a glance, stricken as if hit by a bolt of lightning. Did this mean their darling daughter was…?

“You insolent brat, you…” Gongye Qingrui was trembling with rage, almost choking on her own ire.

Even the An Commandery Prince’s face turned ashen gray. His darling daughter, whom he had protected and cherished so dearly, was actually violated by this damned boy…

Even Lord Wu Dianshan of Left County was dumbstruck. Wang Anye, you are adventurous, aren’t you? You’d made my great-granddaughter ill due to some blunder at a matchmaking event half a year ago.

And it’s been so little time since then, you’re now involved with Little Princess Yiluo? So, are you aiming at the little princesses of the Commandery Prince’s family?

Wang Zong’an felt a tremendous headache coming on and quickly said, “An Commandery Prince, Consort, please calm down. There must be some misunderstanding. Please give Anye a chance to explain.”

Even though he was tempted to rebuke the boy himself, he knew his grandson well enough to be assured that he wouldn’t have acted so inappropriately.

“That is true.” Wu Dianshan, standing off to the side, also felt compelled to step in and mediate. “The Changning Wang Clan has a strict upbringing. While sometimes Wang Anye’s actions may be infuriating, he would never stoop so low. An Commandery Prince, Consort, let’s give him a chance to explain.”

“Of course.” The An Commandery Prince took several deep breaths to regain his composure, and restrained the raging Gongye Qingrui. “We of the An Commandery Prince’s Residence believe in justice. We will not solely listen to Yiluo’s version. Even if we are to hold him accountable, we need to have the facts and evidence.” He too knew that the Changning Wang Clan was not one to be trifled with easily.

“Very well.” Wang Anye remained as calm as ever. He took a moment to gather his thoughts before speaking, “This incident started at the County Town Post Station…”

He narrated the whole incident without rushing, using clear and eloquent language. Although Wu Yiluo tried to interrupt him a few times, Wang Anye only stated the facts…

A moment later!

Everyone now understood the ins and outs of the situation. When Gongye Qingrui asked softly, Wu Yiluo finally admitted saying: “Yes, that’s what happened, but he blamed me unfairly. He held me and shattered…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Gongye Qingrui covered her mouth. She was tired of her granddaughter’s habit of readily discussing such embarrassing topics.
