Chapter 482: Chapter 484 The Exposure of the Conspiracy (Part 9)
In the eyes of these ordinary people, even being a side branch of the Yao Family warranted fawning and flattery.
“Hundred-man squad, at my command,” Mu Ruyue’s eyes darkened as she spoke coldly, “surround the Xiao Family. Without my order, no one can leave.”
“Yes!”
The entire group responded, their voices echoing in the air for a long time…
The Xiao Family Elders were so angry that their faces turned ashen. If not for saving face for Xiao Baixuan, they would have already torn this damnable girl to pieces!
“What has happened here?”
Just then, a robust figure quickly strode in from outside.
Yao Jing’s eyes swept over and landed on Yao Tianyu lying on the ground, his heart sinking with shock as he hurried forward, calling out anxiously, “Lady, Lady Tianyu! What on earth happened?”
As if hearing Yao Jing’s call, Yao Tianyu slowly opened her eyes…
“Lady!”
Yao Jing was overjoyed, “Lady, what is this…”
Yao Tianyu shook her head, puzzled, “I’m not sure. It seemed like someone attacked me just now, but I didn’t even see who it was.”
“Who was it?” Yao Jing’s expression darkened as he demanded coldly, “Who would dare to attack my lady!!!”
During his speech, his gaze swept across those present.
Third Young Master Xiao glanced at Mu Ruyue and sneered, “Lord Yao Jing, I just saw that the woman who attacked Lady Yao was this woman!”
Hearing this, Yao Jing’s gaze swept over to Mu Ruyue, he asked in a dark tone, “Was it you who attacked my lady?”
Mu Ruyue’s lips curled slightly, “What if it was?”
“Hmph!”
Yao Jing snorted coldly, his eyes icy and filled with lethal intent, “Do you know who we are?”
“I know, just the so-called side branch of the Yao Family?”
When Mu Ruyue spoke, she deliberately emphasized the words “side branch.”
Although they were all from a side branch, generally powerful families despised being referred to in such terms, as if removing those two words would turn them into descendants of the Direct Lineage…
“Knowing that we are the side branch and you still dared to attack her?” Yao Jing smiled coldly, “Girl, if you don’t give me a reason, our Yao Family will not let this go!”
“Reason? It’s simple,” Mu Ruyue chuckled softly, her eyes filled with icy coldness, “She tried to force herself on my older brother. Is that reason enough?”
“Your older brother?”
“Yes, my older brother is Xiao Feng, a descendant of Xiao Yun.”
Yao Jing was taken aback, he hadn’t expected Xiao Yun’s descendants to be so outstanding.
But as outstanding as they were, the Yao Family would not allow anyone to push them around.
“Young lady, even if you make up a reason, at least make it plausible. Our lady is noble-born, stunningly beautiful, and exceptionally talented. Usually, men only wish to follow her, but to force a man?”
Yao Jing mocked aloud, “Does she need to resort to force? With just one word from her, which man could refuse? Moreover, our lady prides herself on her purity, it’s impossible for her to do such vulgar things.”
Mu Ruyue’s brow swept upward, as she looked towards the naked Yao Tianyu.
Following her gaze, Yao Tianyu realized she was without a stitch of clothing, embarrassed to the point of wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
Yao Jing also felt this was inappropriate, quickly removing his clothing to cover Yao Tianyu.
“This really is maintaining purity.”
Mu Ruyue chuckled softly, “Could it be that someone forced her to take off her clothes?”
