C374 An Unfathomable Identity as a Son-in-law
Every time the sounds of whips came from outside, Zhao Wei's face would twitch as well.
No matter what, this was her own little brother, it would definitely hurt her heart to hit him.
As the Patriarch of the Zhao Family, he could only do so. With so many pairs of eyes watching from top to bottom of the Zhao Family, if he did not react, the people would definitely not be convinced.
Besides, his little brother was going too far. Now, he could set a trap to kill his niece just for the sake of the sabers that he had inherited from his ancestors.
If he were to not teach him a lesson, this fellow would probably do something that would harm the entire Zhao Family.
After nearly ten minutes, the entire clan's process finally came to an end.
Zhao Danchen cupped his fist and said to Zhao Dagang, "The family rules have been executed. Patriarch, please decide!"
Zhao Weidao was no longer in the mood to deal with his brother. He waved his hand weakly and said to them weakly, "Take him away. Find a doctor and have a look. Don't delay any longer."
At this moment, only Zhao Weide, Zhao Yingying, and Ye Chen were left in the room. Zhao Weide finally felt relieved and said to Ye Chen, "Alright, there are no outsiders in the room now. You two get up too!"
The two men looked at each other, then slowly stood up.
"Do you know why I have arranged for you to come here?" Zhao Weide spoke slowly with his eyes closed.
Ye Chen obviously knew that these words were directed at him, so he definitely shook his head: "Zhao Family Master, I really have not figured this out yet!"
A meaningful smile appeared on Zhao Weide's face. "I'm afraid you don't understand why I gave you the family heirloom blade that my little brother didn't give to me for decades, right?"
He finally got to the point. That was what Ye Chen wanted to know the most right now.
Ye Chen looked straight at Zhao Weidang, who was also looking back at him. "All the clansmen in Zhao Family are definitely discussing this behind the scenes, but I don't care."
"At my age, what can a person with no name or reputation do? What I care about is the future development of the entire Zhao Family!"
At this point, Zhao Weide suddenly stood up and came to Ye Chen's side, "Now, I plan to place this treasure on you!"
But at this moment, Ye Chen became even more confused: "Zhao Family Master, I really don't understand what you mean. What do you mean by placing the treasure on me?"
Ye Chen thought to himself, I'm not a member of your Zhao Family, so on what basis should I be responsible for the future of your Zhao Family? However, after waiting for a long time, Zhao Weide did not say anything. He merely turned around and looked at the four big words.
Just when Ye Chen was about to break down and start talking, Zhao Weide spoke first, "I know, you might not understand what I'm saying, but I can tell you that I've already understood the relationship between you and my daughter!"
His words were like a thunderclap, shocking the two of them so much that their jaws almost dropped.
He already knew the relationship between the two, what did it mean to have no relationship with them? At least, that's what Ye Chen thought.
However, what Ye Chen did not notice was that Zhao Yingying's face had a trace of an imperceptible crimson color, as if she was an adolescent girl whose heart had been caught by someone.
Ye Chen, of course, hurriedly opened his mouth to explain: "Zhao Family Master, I think you may have misunderstood this matter …"
However, Zhao Weide didn't even want to give him the chance to explain. He directly waved his hand and said, "Alright, you don't need to explain anymore. Although I'm old, I'm not blind. I'm also at your age. I know what you're thinking."
While speaking, Zhao Weide suddenly sighed, "Yingying's mother left early, but I really don't want to continue, but I don't have a son in this life, I can't possibly let Mo Yin's Zhao Family go to me."
"I was hoping that my second son would give birth to a son, but this guy is obsessed with martial arts and doesn't even think about it."
Suddenly, Zhao Weide patted Ye Chen's shoulder and said, "To be honest, I think highly of you. You are a promising young man, I can be at ease if you hand over your Zhao Family to your son-in-law."
Ye Chen even had the urge to kill someone. How could he do that? Good god, he even made arrangements for the rest of his life.
He didn't care whether he agreed or not. He just explained his point of view and how to trust him. The key point was, why didn't you ask me if he was going to do it?
However, at this time, Ye Chen looked towards Zhao Yingying. However, Zhao Yingying did not react at all, not even noticing the intention to refute.1
Ye Chen was speechless. He thought to himself, "You didn't listen to your dad before, how come you became an obedient girl now?"
Ye Chen even felt that the current situation was a trap set by the father and daughter pair. The only uncertain factor was only that Zhao Weiguang.
However, now that Zhao Weide seemed to have confirmed his thoughts, and seeing his daughter's attitude, he was sure that there was nothing wrong with it.
He directly took the treasured saber from the table behind him and handed it back to Ye Chen: "This saber is now completely in your hands!"
But when Ye Chen looked at the blade in his hand, he did not feel that it was anything good at all. Instead, he felt that this was a scalding sweet potato: "Zhao Family Lord, listen to me, how about this, you hand over the Zhao Family to me, I'm afraid that not a single clan member of the Zhao Family will agree, when the time comes there will be trouble …"
Zhao Weide's face turned extremely serious. He said in all seriousness, "You don't need to worry about this. I'll explain it to them. Trust them, I, the Zhao Family, am not someone who doesn't consider the benefits of the clan!"
Ye Chen wished he could slap himself on the face right now. He thought to himself why he was so tactful. Was it not good to be direct?
However, even if he wanted to explain himself, it was too late. Zhao Weide had already left. Ye Chen looked at Zhao Weide's little figure, but he still couldn't understand. Didn't he look down on him before? Why did his attitude change so quickly, almost to a hundred and eighty degree turn?
Now, only Zhao Yingying and Ye Chen were left in the ancestral hall. Ye Chen wanted to talk to her for a while, but he thought that the deeper parts of himself were too suitable. He directly grabbed Zhao Yingying's hand and said, "Let's go out and talk!"
As he spoke, he led Zhao Yingying out.
