Everyone felt their eyelids twitching.

Watching the ping-pong sound, the excited bird's beak started bombarding again.

"You little beast, you really don't know your place. Today I will tear your bird mouths apart..."

Xu Ruoheng was so angry that his eyes rolled back and he jumped up from the ground, trying to chase after the ping-pong game.

"Asshole!!!"

The old marquis roared, and the originally chaotic scene in the whole hall suddenly became quiet.

Xu Ruoheng quickly knelt down in front of the old marquis, with an attitude of sincerely admitting his mistake.

"Go to the ancestral hall! I'm going to clean up the house today!" the old marquis said in a decisive tone, enunciating each word.

"Old man, what are you doing?"

The old lady looked at the old marquis in panic, a huge sense of uneasiness spread throughout her body!

Xu Ruoheng was also panicked for a moment. He had never seen such a resolute expression on his father's face.

The old marquis walked towards the ancestral hall with firm steps, without even looking at the old lady and his eldest son.

He just coldly ordered his servants to drag the two of them into the ancestral hall.

He also ordered people to invite the elders of the tribe.

"Wancheng, have you thought about it carefully? Do you really want to do this?"

"Yes, old lord, although they are wrong, they shouldn't be so cruel, right?"

"Once he is removed from the family tree, he will be cursed by others. How will he live in the future?"

"Old Marquis, calm down. You are already this old, and if you still want to divorce your wife, you will be laughed at by the whole world..."

Soon, the elders of the Xu family came to the ancestral hall one after another to offer their condolences.

Over the years, the Xu family has been able to live a prosperous life relying on the support of the Loyalty and Bravery Marquis' Mansion.

Even though the old lady was arrogant and domineering and Xu Yanyan was the only one who doted on them, they were sometimes dissatisfied in their hearts, but they did not dare to care and could only pamper and protect her.

Now, I heard that the old marquis was determined to divorce his wife and expel his eldest son from the family tree.

This shocked them greatly.

After all, the debt collection incident just now had spread all over Kyoto, and people were talking about it in the streets and alleys.

And now, the old marquis is causing a divorce scandal and the scandal of being expelled from the family tree, which will probably push the marquisate to the forefront.

Then their hope and support would be gone.

Among them, the oldest uncle, puffing on his pipe, looked at Xu Wancheng seriously and said, "Wancheng, you are old now, you should think twice before doing anything!"

"The Marquis's Mansion now relies on Yanyan. You know that if her biological parents are driven out of the house, Yanyan will be extremely disappointed in the Marquis' Mansion when she finds out."

"Besides, in a few days, it will be the New Year. Yanyan is a goddess and she will pray for the people of the world. It will be a great honor for the Marquisate at that time!"

"So, we don't agree with your decision!!"

Third uncle knocked his pipe on the table a few times, "dong dong dong".

Every movement revealed strong opposition.

"Yes, old Marquis, for the reputation of the Marquisate and the future of future generations, you should think twice!"

Other elders followed suit to comfort him, fearing that the old marquis would really do this stupid thing in a moment of impulse.

"I have made up my mind. Stop trying to persuade me. Let's open the ancestral hall!"

At this moment, Xu Wancheng showed the same determination and courage as he had thirty years ago when he charged into battle with the late emperor.

There was unquestionable determination in his eyes.

"Old Master, you...you actually want to divorce me?"

"You have such a cruel heart. When my sister eloped with someone, I took her place and married you to avoid embarrassing you. Over the years, I have been busy running the entire mansion and have never complained, let alone told you a word of bitterness."

"If it weren't for me, do you think you could be so carefree and devoted to seeking the truth and following your master?"

"It was me who managed the family, educated the children and grandchildren, and nurtured Yanyan, and pushed the Marquisate to the pinnacle of honor."

"But what did I get in return? All I got was your cold sarcasm and indifference."

"Now, you actually want to divorce me? Hahahaha..."

"Why? Why did you divorce me? I didn't meet any of the seven grounds for divorce. Why did you divorce me?"

The old lady pushed away the servant who was holding her and rushed to Xu Wancheng with a fierce look.

"Snapped!!!"

He raised his hand and slapped the old marquis in the face.

The old marquis was so angry that he clenched his fists, making a hissing sound, "Why? Just because you murdered your own husband, you vicious woman!!"

After saying that, he took out a prescription from his pocket and threw it viciously in the old lady's face.

The old lady took one look and instantly collapsed to the ground.

How can it be?

How could he have this prescription?

She had ordered people to destroy this thing a long time ago, how could he possibly find it?

"Hou Zhuqing, open your dog eyes and see. If you still want to live, wait until I divorce you, then get out of the mansion obediently."

"If you dare to make trouble again, I will file a complaint and bring you to the Dali Temple..."

The old marquis's eyes were gloomy, like a sharp blade, slashing straight at the old lady.

The old lady couldn't stop shivering all over, and her lips trembled as she stammered, "Grandpa, no...it's not what you think..."

"Oh? Not what I thought. What is it?"

"Besides the fact that you want to kill me, should I investigate the matter of Luo Luo's disappearance?"

The old marquis's gaze at this moment was like a freezing ice cellar, and just one glance was enough to make people shudder.

"Bring the people up!!"

The old marquis gave an order, and then two guards came in, escorting an old man.

When the old lady saw this man, she trembled violently as if she had seen a ghost.

impossible! !

He...how come he is still alive?

Hadn't he been drowned long ago?

"explain!!"

"Now I'm giving you a chance to speak. If you don't, I'll have no choice but to send you to the Dali Temple. Over the years, you've been cheating and deceiving people, and I'm afraid you've done a lot of things that are against the will of heaven..."

Xu Wancheng's brows furrowed, sword in hand, and the coldness from his body burst out.

"My Lord, I say, I say..."

"It was all her fault. She asked me to do this. When you were sick and bedridden, she came to me and asked me to prescribe a tonic medicine. On the surface, it nourishes the yin and lungs, but in fact, if you use too much, it will be a poison that can kill you at any time."

"I agreed to her request because we were from the same hometown and the ransom was high. But I didn't expect that you would survive it, either because of your good physique or your good luck."

"She was afraid that I would leak the news, so she wanted to kill me to silence me. But she didn't expect that I was lucky enough to escape death."

"For these years, I have been hiding my identity and wandering the world, but I still fell into your hands. This is really retribution!!"
