The Emperor is kidnapped, and the useless daughter destroys the three realms

Because of the funeral, the number of guards in the mansion was half less than usual, but Ruan Xihe did not enter through the main gate. Instead, she took Ruan Yi over the wall. Ruan Yi had no martial arts skills and no spiritual power, so it took her some effort to take him over the wall.

She came out only after she settled Ruan Yi in her own shabby courtyard.

Her courtyard was at the outermost part and there was no one there at the moment. She went to the outer courtyard first, but it was quiet. She then went to the inner courtyard, but the inner courtyard, which was the core place of the family, was also quiet.

Only the main hall is left.

Ruan Xihe was puzzled and walked through the gate of the inner courtyard.

There is a barrier above the main hall, and one can only enter through the main gate. Normally, there are more than four guards guarding the gate, but today, strangely, there is no one there.

She continued walking forward, and after a few steps she suddenly stopped and climbed up a tree.

There's someone in the lobby!

From where she was squatting, she could clearly see the scene in the lobby without getting too close to be detected.

The lobby was still luxurious, but a coffin placed in the middle added a touch of solemnity.

There were many people around the coffin, but there was only one young girl, kneeling in front of the coffin and crying bitterly. She was thin and her clothes were covered with patches of various sizes.

Because she was facing away from him, Ruan Xihe couldn't see her face and naturally didn't recognize her.

"If it is really as you said, why did this girl run to the Dark Moon Forest alone?"

Sitting on the main seat next to the coffin was a white-haired old man. He looked haggard and his eye sockets were swollen. He slammed the black cane in his hand heavily on the ground, scaring the people around him.

The girl the old man was referring to was naturally Ruan Xihe.

“Oh, why else? He believed the crazy words of the sorcerer and tried to seek opportunities in the forest. We stopped him many times when he tried to sneak away. But this time he sneaked into the trial team and ran away, and even caused my Naer to develop a demon in her heart!” The Fifth Elder shouted in anger, and his fists creaked.

He spoke bitterly, his poisonous eyes fixed on the coffin in front of him, "Since returning from the Dark Moon Forest, Na'er has always been haunted by demons every time she practices. She said that she felt guilty for not being able to save that piece of trash, and her cultivation even showed signs of regression! This piece of trash is dead and still caused a lot of harm to others!"

"Miss... I'm not a waste..." The girl with patches all over her body kneeling on the ground raised her head and retorted with sobs.

"Snapped--"

A crisp slap sounded, and a clear slap mark appeared on the girl's face, which was swollen.

"According to the rules of our Ruan family, since when has a maid dared to contradict her master?" The fifth elder retracted his palm, and the resentment in his heart finally found a breakthrough.

"Sure enough, a maid taught by a loser has no rules!"

"She dared to contradict her master in public. How can she continue like this? Come, drag her away and give her fifty lashes of the cane so that she can learn a lesson."

"It's you who harmed the young lady, it's you who harmed the young lady!"

The girl burst into tears, crawled from the door to the hall, and grabbed the old man's trouser legs, "Chief, the young lady was killed by them!"

After saying this, the old man frowned and glanced at everyone in the hall...

The clan leader is the head of the clan and the person who has absolute say in the entire family. His status is even higher than that of the head of the family!

So at this moment, being stared at by the old man, no one dared to breathe.

"What nonsense!" The fifth elder suddenly shouted angrily, "Why don't you quickly drag this crazy maid away? Otherwise, she will disturb the peace of the clan leader!"

Two guards stepped forward, lifted the girl's body and walked out. It was at this moment that Ruan Xihe saw the girl's face clearly. A memory suddenly flooded into her mind and her face changed immediately.

This girl is the original owner’s personal maid, Yinhuan.

No wonder she returned to her room that day. Although she was extremely poor, the environment was clean and tidy. It was all because of Yinhuan who cleaned it. When the disciples of the Ruan family bullied her, Yinhuan would rush up and take the beating for her...

A few days ago, Ruan Na said that Yinhuan had offended her and wanted to punish Yinhuan by making her work in the stable for five days. The original owner thought that the punishment was not too severe and agreed. Now thinking about it, it was probably just an excuse to get Yinhuan away and take her to the Dark Moon Forest.

Ruan Xihe frowned and immediately prepared to show up to stop the guards. Fifty lashes might not be a big deal for a cultivator, but for Yinhuan who couldn't practice, it could cost her half her life!

At this moment, a powerful pressure suddenly emanated from the hall, followed by a full-throated roar.

"I'm not dead yet!" The old man slammed the cane in his hand.

Everyone in the hall had heavy expressions and their bodies were shaking like sieves. The guards were also weakened by the pressure and let go of the girl and knelt on the ground.

The atmosphere was a little solemn for a moment. The fifth elder realized that he had said too much, so he lowered his head and silently reduced his presence.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man with narrow eyes pushed through the crowd and walked out. He bowed to the old man first, "Dad, don't be angry. I will get to the bottom of this matter and give an explanation to my eldest brother and the elders. I will also find out the reason why these disciples' cultivation has stagnated, eliminate their inner demons, and lead my Ruan family to become the leader of the four major families again."

The old man's anger was slightly reduced by these words. He glanced at the middle-aged man and hummed lightly.

The middle-aged man turned around, clasped his fists towards the Fifth Elder again, and said apologetically: "My eldest brother is not here, so I, as his younger brother, will apologize to the Fifth Elder on his behalf."

As he spoke, he quickly glanced at the coffin beside him. A flash of joy flashed across his eyes, and when he raised his eyes again, they were filled with deep sadness.

"We spoiled Xihe too much before, which is why she has caused such a disaster. We failed to teach her well. As an elder, I am also at fault, but Xihe is already like this. Fifth Elder, please stop dwelling on this matter and focus on removing the demons in the hearts of our children."

Before the fifth elder could respond, the beautiful woman behind the middle-aged man's eyes turned red and she covered her face with a handkerchief and sobbed.

"Master! Don't say nice things to her anymore. She has a stubborn temper. Normally, she would be willful by herself, but this time she has implicated so many people. Our Xizhi is still in a coma..."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man hugged the woman in his arms, patted her on the back and comforted her softly: "Alas, Madam, Xihe can't practice, it's only right for us to care about her a little more. Besides, the eldest brother is not at home, and this child is bound to be a little rebellious. I just didn't expect that she would lose her life because of this..."

"How am I going to explain this to my eldest brother when he comes back?"

The middle-aged man looked bitter and sighed.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of clapping from outside the door, followed by a clear, pleasant voice that sounded out of nowhere, causing everyone present to change their expressions.
