Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 841: Chapter 20: Wang Anye Accepts an Apprentice! Ding Duke’s Mansion Offers an Apology (Seeking Monthly Votes)_4

However, only a few people were aware of this series of plans. If the Heng Commandery Prince knew that all this had been planned, he might have clutched at his chest in regret for giving Wang Liyao a share of several million for no reason.

And if Wang Annan knew about this, he would probably be so angry that he’d vomit blood and be unable to get out of bed.

This was precisely why.

The various possible reactions of the Great Qian Wang Clan were all within Wang Shouzhe’s speculations. Certainly, the most likely possibility was the one mentioned by Wang Liyao.

“Eh? My great-niece is quite capable,” the Heng Commandery Prince said, quite surprised, his expression filled with astonishment, “Could it be that you have left your spies in the Duke’s Mansion?”

While they were talking, the Manager suddenly came in with a report: “Your Highness, Miss Liyao, Master Yuchang from the Duke’s Mansion is here at the tower and has sent a message asking to see Miss Liyao, saying he has come to apologize.”

“This really is… quite fast~” The expression of the Heng Commandery Prince flickered strangely, and then he realized, “No wonder, the Duke’s Mansion has been quiet for too long, and in recent centuries, they haven’t produced any Great Heavenly Proud. Their strength is nearly at the bottom among the Third-Class Aristocratic Families. If they could connect with my niece Liyao, it would surely enhance the family’s prestige greatly~~ Such an opportunity, how could they miss?”

“Please let Master Yuchang come in,” the Heng Commandery Prince said with a smile, “I’ve heard that this generation’s Master Yuchang is a clever young man, and the Duke’s Mansion has somewhat improved under his management. It seems he is indeed very clever.”

With the stature of the Heng Commandery Prince, there was no need for him to go out to meet Master Yuchang. If it were an Old Ancestor from the Wang family with Divine Skills who had come, he would definitely have run to the door to greet them politely.

Not long after.

On the Obsidian Fighting Stage, just as the ranking match of the Sky Pride ended, several soldiers in the dress of the Wang Family’s Heavenly Human House slowly carried a stretcher up to the stage.

This scene naturally attracted a great deal of attention.

“Eh? That on the stretcher, isn’t that the famous Wang Annan?”

“It’s not just similar, that is him… I clearly remember Wang Annan left on foot, has he been injured so severely? The Wang family bringing him here, could it be they are preparing to question the Great Heavenly Proud Wang Liyao?”

“Alas~ Miss Liyao was indeed a bit reckless this time. Although she is from the same clan as the Prominent Family, she ultimately comes from a Grade Six Prominent Family. The Duke’s Mansion, with an Old Ancestor of the Divine Power Territory, cannot swallow this insult easily.”

The murmur of voices from the audience sounded like gusts of wind reaching Wang Annan’s ears, and even in his despair, he couldn’t help but feel his face burning hot.

He, Wang Annan, had really lost face this time around. Sorry to the ancestors~~ he truly wished he could faint, so that he would know nothing, which would be better than suffering like this.

“Carry it slowly.” Master Wang Yuchang, with a grim face, walked behind the stretcher with his hands clasped at his back, “Let everyone take a good look, and let this wretch suffer more.”

“Yes, Family Head.”

The soldiers of the Wang Family took the command, thereafter further slowing down their already very slow pace to an excruciating crawl.

Grasping the intention of the Family Head, they not only slowed down but also started showing various delaying tactics, such as taking a roundabout way or walking three steps forward and two steps back, and so forth.

As a result, the whispers grew louder.

As Wang Annan half-lay on the stretcher, enduring the piercing gazes shooting at him from all directions, the whispers stung like poison, making him wish he could just die.

In the past, Wang Annan had been the apple of the eye for the elder clan members, a treasure in their hands, the cherished grandchild.

And now?

He had become a gift meant to appease Wang Liyao.

As if just to make Wang Liyao happy, not to mention breaking two of his legs, even breaking three would be gladly done by the old ancestors at home.

It’s just the Great Heavenly Proud, what’s so great about that?

Wang Annan sniffled miserably, tears of sorrow streaming down the corners of his eyes.

Finally making it to the stage.

Just under everyone’s watchful eyes, Family Head Wang Yuchang stepped forward, his face solemn and serious as he glanced towards the direction of the Heng Commandery Prince’s noble seat.

Just as countless people thought he was about to start reproaching.

Wang Yuchang cleared his throat and suddenly switched to a smile, his deep voice also rising at the same time, “Yao’er, our family’s Wang Annan, that scourge, dared to disrespect his elder and spoke wildly. I have already ordered your Shi Da nephew to personally do it and break his legs.”

“What?”

This situation was quite unexpected, and the scene instantly exploded into chaos. The expressions on many faces went blank for a moment.

The Duke’s Mansion was actually not here to accuse but to apologize?

But this was not the end.

Wang Yuchang then turned around on the platform, and harshly said to the person behind him, “Wang Shida, as the saying goes, the misdeeds of the son are the fault of the father. Since Wang Annan behaved so outrageously, you are not free from blame either. Quickly kneel down and apologize to your Aunt Liyao.”

As the words fell, a middle-aged man in fine clothes stepped out from the crowd behind, his head bowed as he approached Wang Annan’s stretcher.

Just as he was about to “plop” down on his knees.

Suddenly.

From the most elegant seat at the top of White Cloud Tower, a celestial figure gracefully descended, her hand raised slightly, and an invisible force gently supported Wang Shida in midair.

At the same time.

Her clear and gentle voice also followed: “Master Yuchang, do not be so hasty. Our Changning Wang Clan has not recognized relations with your noble family, nor have we verified the records of heritage. I, Wang Liyao, do not deserve this title of aunt.”

Wang Liyao’s voice was clear and cold, as if tinged with a sense of alienation.

Wang Yuchang and Wang Shida’s hearts sank at once, both of them secretly sensing trouble and involuntarily casting blameful glances at Wang Annan on the stretcher.
