Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

On the day of Xie Xie's funeral, the side relatives suddenly knelt down in the yard and began to cry loudly.

Xie Yuchen walked in front holding his grandfather's tablet, while Xie Lianping, Xie Lianqing and Xie Liansheng followed behind in mourning clothes.

"Master! You died so tragically! You don't even know it! If you leave, someone will force us old men to death!"

The person who spoke was an old man with gray hair who coughed from time to time. The people behind him called him second grandpa.

Xie Yuchen thought they had some big tricks to play, but the result was to discredit him in front of the guests. But they didn't use their brains to think about it. These guests all came with their brains. Did they think that if they did this, the guests behind would blame him for their specious words?

Even if Xie Yuchen really did this, those people would have to accept this fact obediently. They would smile, bow, give a thumbs up, and praise: "Good!"

Xie Yuchen looked at the group of people kneeling in front of him with disdain, and said in a cold tone: "Xie Guanchang, what do you want to do? Are you going to delay grandpa's burial? If so, I want to see how you end up!" His eyes were full of threats and provocations, which made people shudder.

However, Xie Yuchen did not take action immediately. He knew his position and power well, and he did not need to solve these problems personally. So he just stood there quietly, waiting for his men to properly handle these troubles. He believed that as long as they were given some time, everything would be properly resolved.

At the same time, Xie Yuchen was secretly thinking about the next plan. However, he only needed to show an attitude and a glance to the outside world, and naturally there would be people with stronger power than this side branch to do things for him. This was also what Xiao Di had always taught him. With his status and position, he didn't need to waste words with those ants, because doing so would only lower his status.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "Boss, we are ready. Please tell us what to do next." Xie Yuchen nodded, then walked past the kneeling collaterals and gave them a condescending look, as if they were a group of ignorant people. The guests behind him saw Xie Yuchen's attitude, so they naturally had their own calculations in their hearts. After all, the world is bustling with profit.

If you can bring me enough benefits, then I can be friends with you. If you can't bring me enough benefits, I'm sorry, but are you worthy of being friends with me?

However, Xie Yuchen did not intend to guess what those so-called powerful people behind him were thinking. After all, his little father had always said to him: "My little flower was raised by me with great care. She is the most beautiful crabapple in Yanjing and even in the entire Dragon Kingdom!"

As a successor appointed by the Red and Hua Houses since childhood, Xie Yuchen had no time or energy to think about these things because of the responsibilities he shouldered. Because he knew what his most important task was now - that was to solve the trouble in front of him as soon as possible.

After all, the top priority now is to bury grandpa peacefully, rather than sitting here discussing these unfounded things with these worthless things.

Xie Yuchen's attitude had softened, and the crowd watching behind them were already whispering instructions to their secretaries or subordinates following behind them.

The group of people kneeling in the yard also clenched their fists with a grim look on their faces, and turned back to stare at Xie Yuchen's back with anger.

"Tie them all up and lock them up in the warehouse. After Jie Laojiu is buried, let Xiaohua decide whether they should go or stay."

A clear and pleasant voice was heard, and everyone looked at the person who spoke.

Xie Yuchen also looked at the visitor with a smile.

"Little daddy! Father!"

With a shout of surprise, the crowd watching the excitement at the door automatically made way for them, and Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling, who had rushed over exhausted, appeared in front of Xie Yuchen.

Xie Yuchen's eyes lit up, and a big stone in his heart fell: "You are finally here!"

Hua Yu nodded at Xie Yuchen, indicating that he should go and bury Xie Laojiu first and talk to him after it was over.

The guests who came to the funeral had never imagined that this small Xie Mansion was actually worthy of the young master of Wan Chongshan and the patriarch of the Zhang family coming in person to pay their respects.

For a moment, everyone looked at Xie Yuchen differently, and the three brothers Xie Lianping straightened their backs and greeted the guests with smiles on their faces.

Xie Yuchen didn't care about these. He just lowered his head and gave a few instructions, then took Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling to Xie Laojiu's mourning hall.

Zhang Qiling looked at Xie Laojiu's portrait and couldn't help feeling sad.

He thought of all the things he and Jie Laojiu had experienced together, and couldn't help feeling overwhelmed with emotion.

Xie Yuchen looked at Zhang Qiling, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes.

He knew that if Zhang Qiling and Hua Yu had not arrived in time, there would probably be more trouble at today's funeral.

At the same time, the other nine sects saw the appearance of Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling, and they all started to make plans in their hearts.

The Wu family is the worst hit, followed by the Huo family.

Huo Xian Gu, the current head of the Huo family, held his granddaughter's hand, with a golden light flashing in his eyes. He looked up at Xie Yuchen in front of him, and then looked at Wu Xie behind him.

She seemed to be thinking about something, but soon regained her composure.

Behind this seemingly peaceful funeral, a turbulent battle is quietly unfolding...

After Xie Laojiu was buried, Xie Yuchen asked two of the people who followed him to stay here with his uncle and others to entertain the guests, while he returned home to deal with the side branch of the family.

Xie Yuchen rushed back home without rushing to see those people in the warehouse. Instead, he threw himself into Hua Yu's arms, sobbing softly, telling her about the grievances he had suffered in the past few days and the sarcastic words of those so-called elders.

Hua Yu patted Xiao Hua gently on the back and comforted her softly: "Xiao Hua, your dad and father are here, right? With us here, no one can bully you! Don't cry, don't cry. Your crying makes your dad feel heartbroken." As he spoke, he gently wiped away the tears on Xiao Hua's face with his hand.

Xiaohua sobbed and hugged Huayu's arm tightly, as if she had grabbed the last straw to save her life. Her eyes were red and her nose was still twitching, but her mood had gradually stabilized.

Hua Yu looked at Xiao Hua with heartache. This child had been with him since birth. When had she ever suffered such an injustice? The people in Xie Mansion really didn't know what was good for them. He said to Xiao Hua softly, "Xiao Hua, no matter what happens in the future, you must tell your father immediately. I will definitely help you solve all the problems." Xiao Hua nodded vigorously, with a gleam of trust in her eyes.

Hua Yu was holding Xiao Hua in his arms. Zhang Qiling stood behind them, with his left hand on Hua Yu's right shoulder. Kneeling in the hall was the one who had just emerged - the second elder of the Xie family.

At this time, many people came to the Xie family hall one after another. Some were on good terms with the second elder, while others were enemies.

Hua Yu slowly picked up the teacup and fed Xiao Hua a sip of tea, then looked up at the other elders of the Xie family who were sitting below, "No hurry, everyone is not here yet, let's wait a little longer!"

The elders shivered and wiped the sweat from their foreheads with handkerchiefs, thinking to themselves: Why is this ancestor here? What has the second brother's family done wrong? It seems that this situation is not going to be settled peacefully, and they have to draw a clear line with the second brother's lineage.

When the people kneeling below could no longer hold on and were about to faint, Hua Yu waved her hand and a doctor in a white coat came forward with a small syringe and gave them an injection to wake them up.

In this way, the second elder wandered back and forth between coma and wakefulness for dozens of times, and finally waited for all the people from the Xie family to arrive.

"I know what you are thinking, but no matter what you think or what actions you want to take, hold it back!" Xie Yuchen jumped off Hua Yu, glanced at the elders present, and said again: "Otherwise, don't blame me for not showing you any mercy!"

The great elder who was sitting in the first position on the right said tremblingly, "I wonder what mistake the second elder made that the head of the family and Young Master Hua had to personally deal with him?"

Xie Yuchen looked at the Great Elder and answered their questions in a good mood. "This Second Elder is taking advantage of his age and thinking that I am young and ignorant, so he wants to be my master? He also said such specious words to mislead the guests who came today. Great Elder, what do you think we should do about this?"

Xie Yuchen kicked the ball back to the first elder. After all, the first elder and the second elder were a family.

The first elder looked down at the pale second elder, and the moment he opened his eyes, he had made up his mind. He knelt in front of the second elder and said to Xie Yuchen respectfully, "Xie Guanchang has already had two hearts, and is really not suitable to be a member of the Xie family. Please ask the head of the family to expel Xie Guanchang and his lineage from the Xie family and deprive them of their Xie family identity to serve as a warning to others!"

As soon as the Great Elder's words came out, there was an uproar behind him. Even the Second Elder did not expect that his own brother, his biological brother, would abandon him, his blood-related younger brother, just to please this young boy.

The second elder crawled forward a few steps, grabbed the first elder's trouser leg, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked up at the first elder with gritted teeth, "Brother, I am your biological brother! You actually want to abandon me! Are you really going to abandon me! Have you forgotten what our mother said before she died?"

The first elder waved away the second elder's hand and said, "Of course I remember, but since my mother has married into the Xie family, she is a member of the Xie family. Now that you have caused such a terrible disaster, do you want us to die with you?"

The Second Elder was already weak from being in a coma. After being pushed and provoked by the First Elder's words, he immediately rolled his eyes and fainted.

The sons and grandchildren behind him were also crying and shouting in a mess.

Hua Yu looked at the mess of people with a headache and asked people to send them all to the hospital.

Xie Yuchen saw that the Second Elder had been dealt with, and he felt that he had to strike while the iron was hot to deter people. He felt that he had to do something to stabilize the situation. So, he announced some of the Second Elder's usual things: "These people usually rely on the power of the family to do whatever they want, and they don't take the Xie family rules seriously at all. Not only did they violate the previous head of the family's lock, not allowing the Xie family to touch the activities below, but they also dared to embezzle public funds, accept bribes, bully men and women, and even kill and set fire. These are unforgivable crimes!"

At this point, Xie Yuchen paused, and then continued: "Of course, I will not abuse lynching. Their crimes will be judged by law enforcers themselves. However, if I find out that any of you dare to exonerate them privately, don't blame me for sending you all in as well!"

Xie Yuchen's words struck the hearts of everyone present, as if a heavy hammer had smashed the last illusions and flukes in people's hearts. Everyone was silent, some were as pale as paper, some had cold sweat on their foreheads, and some had weak legs and could hardly stand.

At this time, Xie Yuchen's eyes swept across the whole audience again, with a trace of unquestionable majesty in his eyes. He slowly said: "This is my decision, and it is also the future direction of the Xie family. We can no longer tolerate this behavior, otherwise the Xie family will be destroyed."

Xie Yuchen paused and continued, "Even though the Xie Mansion is gone, I am still the most honorable young master in Yanjing. But it's hard to say for you. You have no source of income, no one to rely on, so what will those people you have offended do to you? I don't think I need to say much!" After that, Xie Yuchen left the Xie Mansion with Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling.

Some of the people who were still in Xie's mansion could still stand, some had their legs weak and lay on the ground, and some did not know what was going on. All of this was seen by Xiaohua's men who stayed in the dark.
