Chapter 2234: The Yuan Family’s Little Note

“Apologize in person? What were you thinking? Do you take me for the current Emperor or Prince Kaoshan?”

The Laiyang King said angrily, “I do want to go and apologize, but do you think I can meet the Old Ancestor?”

It was no wonder he was angry; Dugu Xiu had been in seclusion for many years and rarely saw outsiders, and as a King, he didn't even have the qualifications to meet him.

“This…”

Lu Bingkun and the others were also dumbfounded, unsure of what to do for a moment.

The Laiyang Princess also knew fear now, and nervously said, “Father, quickly think of a solution!”

“You jinx, pushing our family into a pit of fire!”

Dugu Zhan glared at her fiercely, then paced anxiously around the room, suddenly stopping.

“Since I can't enter the palace to see the Old Ancestor, I can only settle for the next best thing.

Since that Ye could invite Mei Gonggong, their relationship must be quite close. All of you, go to the Gu Yi Men Clinic now and kneel at the entrance to beg for forgiveness.”

“What? Father, I'm not going!”

Dugu Hong immediately cried out.

She was the arrogant Laiyang Princess, always accustomed to having her way.

She only ever bullied others; when had she ever bowed her head and apologized to anyone, especially to a young Dr. she looked down upon?

However, this time the Laiyang King showed her no indulgence, saying with a cold expression, “You only have two paths now: either go and apologize, or I will expel you from the Laiyang Royal Mansion. You choose!”

“I…”

Dugu Hong realized her father was serious and was completely dumbfounded.

She had lived a pampered life for so many years, with everything handed to her, a complete good-for-nothing. She simply couldn't survive once she left the Laiyang Royal Mansion.

The Laiyang King ignored her, turning to look at Lu Bingkun: “Elder Lu, I think you should go too. Otherwise, if the Old Ancestor holds you accountable, even if you are in the Void Tempering Initial Stage, you won't save your life.”

In comparison, Lu Bingkun was much more rational than Dugu Hong. He sighed deeply and turned to walk out the door.

He was now severely injured, with less than one percent of his cultivation remaining, unable to even escape the Great Shun Empire. Now, he had no choice but to bow his head.

The Laiyang King waved his hand, and the remaining guards once again lifted Dugu Hong on the stretcher, following behind and rushing towards the Gu Yi Men Clinic.

After Ye Bufan left, Jiang Fangzhou and the others stayed to guard the clinic. They were sitting at the entrance chatting when they suddenly saw people from the Laiyang Royal Mansion return.

“What's going on? Why are they back? Are they here for revenge?”

Seeing this, everyone at the clinic prepared for a fight.

Xiao Qing's eyes also showed excitement. With Ye Bufan not around, there was no one to restrain her, and she could hit whoever she wanted, act however she pleased.

But to their utter surprise, the people from the Laiyang Royal Mansion arrived at the entrance, and with a thud, knelt on the ground. Leading them was the Grand Elder Lu Bingkun.

Even Dugu Hong, unable to kneel on the stretcher, was prostrate there, looking like she was admitting guilt.

Everyone at the clinic was stunned. What kind of move was this?

Jiang Fangzhou stepped forward and said, “What do you want to do?”

At this point, Lu Bingkun could only swallow his Face and respectfully said, “We are here to beg for forgiveness. We ask Dr. Ye to forgive our previous actions.”

Such a big commotion had attracted hundreds of people who gathered around, watching from a distance.

As soon as he spoke, the crowd erupted in an uproar.

“My heavens, I didn't hear wrong, did I? The Laiyang Royal Mansion is actually bowing its head and apologizing to someone? How is this possible?”

“Yes, I've lived in this Great Shun Empire Royal City for sixty or seventy years, and this is the first time I've seen a Royal Mansion bow its head to someone, let alone kneel and apologize!”

“My heavens, what kind of background does this clinic have? Even the Laiyang Royal Mansion can't afford to offend them…”

People whispered and discussed amongst themselves, all confused about the situation.

The people at the clinic, however, were not appreciative at all. They all pouted, quite disappointed that a fight hadn't broken out.

Jiang Fangzhou said, “My big brother isn't here. All of you, go back!”

“This…”

Without Ye Bufan's forgiveness, and unable to mend their relationship with Mei Gonggong, Lu Bingkun had no courage to return.

“Since that's the case, then we will wait here for Dr. Ye to return.”

Jiang Fangzhou waved his hand: “Whatever, as long as you're happy!”

After speaking, he turned and returned to the clinic, leaving nearly a hundred people from the Laiyang Royal Mansion kneeling upright at the entrance.

At the Minister of War's residence, Yuan Qihang, with his legs broken, lay on the bed. Yuan Dahua sat at the head of the bed, both staring at a small piece of paper on the Eight Immortals table in front of them.

This item had been suddenly shot in by a Black-Clothed Man an hour ago.

Although the mansion was heavily guarded, they couldn't even catch a glimpse of the Black-Clothed Man's shadow. Finally,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

they opened the paper and found a line of small characters written on it.

“The one who broke your son's legs was not Guan Qirui himself, but Ye Bufan from the Gu Yi Men Clinic impersonating him.”

Originally, after that night, the father and son had put the matter behind them, but seeing this note, they felt it wasn't as simple as they thought.

Yuan Dahua said, “Son, recall the situation again. How credible do you think what's written on this note is?”

“I think it's highly credible.”

Yuan Qihang said, “Before, I didn't think carefully, but looking back now, that night's Guan Qirui was indeed a bit off.”

Yuan Dahua asked, “What was off? Was his appearance different?”

“There were no flaws in his appearance.”

Yuan Qihang shook his head, “It was mainly in his behavior. That day's Guan Qirui was too different from his usual self.

Normally, someone of his caliber would try to curry favor with us. When would he ever dare to speak to us like that, let alone break my legs and tie the Laiyang Princess to a tree?

And if you think about it carefully, his actions don't conform to the Guan family's interests at all. It looks more like he was trying to stir up enmity for the Guan family.

I heard that the Gu Yi Men Clinic and the Guan family have a grudge. Considering this, Ye Bufan completely has the motive to do this.”

Yuan Dahua's expression was cold: “How audacious! I don't care what his relationship with the Guan family is, but provoking our Yuan family is absolutely unacceptable.”

Just then, the door opened, and a guard walked in from outside.

As the Minister of War, Yuan Dahua held great power, one of which was controlling the military intelligence of the entire Great Shun Empire. He could investigate anyone or anything very quickly.

The guard was the intelligence officer. After entering, he said, “Minister, the situation at the Gu Yi Men Clinic has been thoroughly investigated.”

After speaking, he handed over a thick stack of documents.

Yuan Dahua waved his hand, dismissing him, and then the father and son began to examine the documents.

After about half an hour, both of them had finished reviewing all the investigated information.

“Father, I never thought this kid had a connection with that woman Lin Sisi. Our chance has finally arrived.”

Yuan Qihang's eyes showed excitement, “I have a plan here. We don't even need to wait until the wedding day to bring down the Lin family and that woman Lin Sisi together.

As for that Ye, we don't even need to lift a finger; the Royal family will tear him to pieces!”
