Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss - Chapter 4171
4171 An ambiguous attitude
“Ling Chuxi, this is the aristocratic family’s judging selection. Watch your words. If you dare to say anything dirty again, be careful that I will expel you from the city amongst the clouds.” Seeing that Yuwen Siyuan had been provoked by Ling Chuxi’s venomous tongue to the point of almost going berserk, Zeng Zhengping quickly stopped Ling Chuxi from speaking any further.
“Alright, then I won’t say anything else. Those spots were originally given to my Ling family by the various domain Lords, and it has not changed for decades. Are you trying to go against the domain lord?” Ling Chuxi had come to the city amongst the clouds for the sake of the aristocratic family’s ruling selection. Humiliating the Yuwen family was just a spontaneous idea. Naturally, she would not neglect the fundamentals and chase after the trivialities, so she said this in a serious tone.
“This …” Zeng Zhengping was in a difficult position. Of course, he knew that what Ling Chuxi said was the truth. However, the Yuwen family and the Jin family had occupied these four places for many years. He could not possibly ask them to withdraw, right? this was not in accordance with the rules. More importantly, he was now on the same side as Yuwen Siyuan, so he would not want to embarrass him.
It was already embarrassing enough for the Yuwen family to be scolded by Ling Chuxi. If they were to give up these few spots, wouldn’t that be confirming Ling Chuxi’s words? he would definitely be even more embarrassed.
“Elder Gong, elder ding, elder Wang, please make the decision.” Left with no choice, Zeng Zhengping could only throw the hot potato to the elders and take the opportunity to see Elder Gong’s true attitude towards the Ling family.
Elder ding and elder Wang obviously didn’t have any right to speak. They looked at each other and then looked at Elder Gong.
“Young master Ling is right. These four spots were originally given to the Ling family after a discussion between the various region Masters. Although they are temporarily giving them away, as long as the region Masters do not distribute them elsewhere, they still belong to the Ling family. It is only natural for young master Ling to take them back.” Elder Gong pondered for a moment before changing the topic.”However, the adjudication election was decided a long time ago, and the great families here have also made a lot of preparations. It’s not appropriate to ask someone else to give it up now.”
Everyone looked at Elder Gong. His words were so ambiguous, what did he mean?
“How about this? other than these two hundred spots, this old man also has two spots. We can choose from the disciples of the other clans. Elder ding and elder Wang also have one each, so there are four in total. Why don’t you take them out?” Elder Gong thought for a long time before he said slowly.
Hearing Elder Gong’s words, elder ding and elder Wang almost cursed out loud. Why? it’s fine if you want to be the peacemaker, but why do you have to give away both of our spots?
It was true that the position of the ruling elders was high, but they were also human beings with emotions and desires, as well as their relatives, friends, and descendants. This spot was originally used to take care of their relatives and friends. After all, the threshold of the aristocratic family adjudication meeting was not low, and their relatives and descendants might not be qualified to enter the aristocratic family adjudication meeting.
Originally, they thought that they could still use this quota to promote a few descendants in this selection. Who knew that Elder Gong would be so generous?
However, after their anger subsided, the two of them were a little puzzled. Didn’t the Shangguan clan have a feud with the Ling clan? as Shangguan wuyou’s master, how could Elder Gong speak up for the Ling clan?
Others might not know Elder Gong’s personality, but the two of them knew it all too well. This person was narrow-minded and extremely protective of his own. It was already good enough that he didn’t oppress the Ling family, so why would he help them?
