Madam Yin sneered, "Why are you so anxious? What does opening the forbidden area have to do with you?"

The elder of the clan immediately showed dissatisfaction on his face: "Mother, how can it have nothing to do with me? The wealth in the forbidden land is Yue'er's dowry and betrothal gifts for marrying into the royal family. Now that she is married, then those things should naturally be redistributed to the whole clan. Isn't that right, Patriarch?"

Yin Nianyue's face darkened. This was the first time he agreed with the clan elder's opinion.

He was also thinking about those riches!

He spoke subconsciously: "Grandma, what my uncle said makes sense. Although the daughter of the Yin family is engaged to the royal family, this engagement is no longer valid. Therefore, all the wealth can only return to the Yin family!"

As his words fell, many members of the Yin family who had come with him shouted loudly, "Return to the Yin family! We all agree with the decision of the head of the family and the elders!"

Old Madam Yin was so angry that her eyes went dark. It was true that money could move people's hearts.

Now, these descendants of the Yin clan have even thrown away their dignity for the sake of the wealth in the forbidden area.

They were actually trying to rob an orphan girl of her dowry and betrothal gifts?

Why do they?

She pounded her cane into the ground and said, "How dare you! I'm not even dead yet, and I'm letting you divide up Yue'er's dowry and betrothal gifts?"

The elder of the clan was the first to retort, "Mother, you're wrong. How can it be considered a dowry or betrothal gift? Her engagement with the royal family has been annulled. You can't let her go to the current emperor and ask him to marry her while she's pregnant? How can that be justified?"

The eldest lady also spoke up immediately, "Unless there is another solution, that is, my daughter will marry into the palace as a concubine in her place. Then, if she becomes a noble lady, then our Shicheng Yin family will also be royal relatives, right?"

Everyone couldn't help but be ecstatic. Who wouldn't want to live a carefree life in the capital? Previously, because of Yin Yue's disappearance, the Yin family and the royal family were at odds.

Due to family rules, they did not dare to go to the capital.

As long as the two families restore their relationship, the Yin family will become the new noble family in the capital.

Many people have already spoken up: "The eldest lady is right, we can let the second young lady marry in her place. We all agree with this proposal!"

The eldest lady raised the corner of her lips proudly: "Mother, please don't stop me. You are the ancestor of the Yin clan. You also hope that all our clansmen can live a decent life, right?"

At this time, the Great Elder approached Bai Qiaoyin with a cold expression, "Yin Yue, why don't you quickly hand over the Heart-to-Heart Pendant in your hand? The forbidden land's wealth should belong to my daughter Yin Mingyue. Only if she marries into the royal family will this be the best outcome for the Yin Clan!"

Fang Qingshan and Lin Yiwan quickly protected her from both sides: "If you dare to take another step forward, don't blame the sword for being blind and chopping off your legs!"

The elder's eyes were filled with ferocity, and he did not believe their threats.

This is Shicheng, his territory!

If they dare to hurt him, they will never be able to step out of the Stone City.

Therefore, instead of stopping, he even planned to reach out to grab Bai Qiaoyin and try to snatch the heart-shaped pendant from her hand.

In a flash of lightning and with the flash of blood, the shrill screams of the clan elder suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

He staggered back half a step, and his left arm, which had just been fine, was now chopped off by the sharp blade in Fang Qingshan's hand and fell to the ground.

Blood gushed out and he almost couldn't stand due to the pain.

The eldest lady quickly stepped forward to support him and asked, "Husband, how are you?"

Yin Mingyue said angrily, "How dare you hurt someone in our Yin family mansion? Are you looking for death?"

She raised her hand, and many archers aimed at Lin Yiwan and Fang Qingshan.

Lin Yiwan, however, showed no fear at all. She taunted him, "The Yin clan is truly formidable. They even dared to threaten a great general sent by the imperial court. Especially you, who are so arrogant as to want to marry into the royal family? Are you worthy? You look so ugly, do you think my brother would be interested in you?"

Yin Mingyue was almost furious. What was so ugly about her?

Also, she, Lin Yiwan, has been surrounded, how dare she still be so arrogant?

Are they just relying on the secret guards they brought with them? Now those people have been drugged and unconscious, and they are now isolated and helpless.

Thinking of this, she said contemptuously, "Madam Hou, please don't be so stubborn. Since you refused my toast, you can only drink the penalty wine. I wanted to take back the Tongxin Pei and give you a chance to live. Who would have thought that you would rush to your death?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she gave the order: "Shoot, let them know that we, the Yin clan, are not pushovers!"

Dense swarms of feather arrows whizzed over and directly covered Lin Yiwan and others.

Seeing their expressions, Yin Mingyue couldn't help but laugh arrogantly: "Hurry up and beg me, kneel on the ground and hand over the Tongxin Pendant, and I will give you an intact body!"

Lin Yiwan sneered, "Do you really think that just because you knocked out those secret guards, I'll have nothing to rely on? I'm going to open your eyes and show you what it means to kill everyone!"

She quickly took out a lightning ball from her sleeve and threw it directly towards Yin Mingyue.

Yin Nianyue was the first to react. He immediately shouted, "Retreat!"

After all, they were still a step too late. The left side of Yin Mingyue's face was blown to pieces, and the Great Elder was blown into a bloody mess. How could he still have a breath?

The eldest lady's face suddenly changed. At the critical moment, she didn't care about collecting her husband's body. She dragged Yin Mingyue into the crowd and fled in panic.

The entire Yin family fell into panic and chaos, and Lin Yiwan had already brought Bai Qiaoyin and Old Madam Yin into the house.

After all, after the lightning ball explodes, there will be a lot of smoke and dust, which is not good for pregnant women.

Although Old Madam Yin could not see what happened specifically, her ears were extremely sensitive and she could guess that the group led by the clan elder must have suffered a setback.

She said angrily, "These ruthless bastards are so ambitious! They've already set their sights on everything that belongs to my granddaughter, and they're even trying to steal it. How dare they!"

Bai Qiaoyin comforted her, "Grandma, it's impossible to steal it. With Wanwan and my husband here, all the treasures in the forbidden area will be put into my pocket without a single cent missing!"

Old Madam Yin finally breathed a sigh of relief. She nodded heavily and said, "That's good. The inner house is in chaos right now. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Grandmother will give you all the precious jewelry hidden in the bottom of the box, so that they won't fall into the hands of those jackals!"

After saying that, she subconsciously stood up.

Bai Qiaoyin quickly held her down: "Grandma, leave it to me. Where is the thing? I'll get it myself!"

Old Madam Yin said lovingly, "It's in the green gauze cabinet next to my bed. The key is next to it. You can see it when you open it!"
