Chapter 329 Expelled from the Family Clan
Even Ye Yu was surprised.
People from the sacred mountain?
"What else did the letter say?" he asked.
Mu Bai shook his head: "They didn't say anything else. With Lady Shaoyi not here, I don't have any ideas for the moment."
He looked at Ying Ze.
Ying Ze froze.
"Why are you looking at me? I don't understand any of this."
This is the truth.
He grew up in a clan and was pampered from a young age, so he never had to deal with these troublesome matters.
Moreover, this is the Taihao clan; if we are careless and offend them, then...
Ying Ze dared not be presumptuous.
If he doesn't dare, then no one else will dare either.
Di Xi glanced at the letter: "Since you've come as a guest, vacate the courtyard first. We can discuss the rest later."
Mu Bai smiled gratefully: "That's the only way."
He was extremely uneasy.
Even after I got back to the courtyard, my heart was still pounding.
How could Mount Shenshan be involved with Yunyun?
If we get caught... then...
"Father!"
Ji'er brought her younger siblings in and greeted them respectfully.
Mu Bai came to his senses and felt much more at ease after seeing the cub.
"Why are you here now?"
"I only brought my younger siblings back after I heard that my mother had written to me."
Mu Bai picked him up: "Your mother misses you and keeps talking about you."
Ji'er's eyes lit up: "Really?"
"Of course it's true." Mu Bai wiped his sweat. "Your mother also said that she'll come back after things are done and that you should stay home and behave yourself."
"Ji'er will definitely be good."
As the eldest brother, he will definitely be obedient and sensible, take good care of his younger siblings, and not let his mother worry.
Mu Bai felt a pang of heartache at her son's understanding nature.
"What's wrong, Father? Are you sad?"
Mu Bai smiled gently and patted his head: "Father misses you and Grandfather. I wonder how he is doing?"
"Grandpa?" Ji'er asked, puzzled. "Didn't Grandpa recover greatly after taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill given by Mother?"
Just the other day, Grandma held him; he's so nimble now.
"Father is worried and is going to check on things later."
“Then Ji’er will stay with Father.”
"No need, Father will be right back."
Mu Bai was unsure of what to do and felt extremely anxious. After calming the cub down, she went to find Mu Tian without wasting a moment.
Mu Tian has been in good health lately.
Since taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill, his back pain and leg soreness have disappeared. Especially now that farming is in place, he can even go to the fields to cultivate seedlings. If he gets tired, he can go to the Ying clan to have a drink with those old guys. Life couldn't be more comfortable.
"Clan leader."
When Mu Bai arrived at the field, he quickly removed the hoe from Mu Tian's hand.
“These jobs are done by slaves. The chieftain is not fully recovered yet, how can he do this?”
"Hey, give it to me." Mu Tian snatched the hoe away: "Go, go, don't trample my land, I finally finished it."
He added soil to the yard and planted wild vegetables, each one lush and green. He would think about his vegetables before dawn every day, and now they were his treasures.
Mu Bai refused, leaning the hoe against the courtyard wall: "Yunyun wrote that the Taihao clan of Shenshan wants to come and visit for a few days."
"What did you say?" Mu Tian stopped abruptly from picking up the hoe.
"Chieftain, I was really worried about what you said last time, and now the people from the Divine Mountain are coming again..."
"Okay, keep your voice down." Are you afraid others won't hear you?
Mu Tian called the people into the house. He stepped out of the courtyard gate and only closed the door after seeing that no one was there.
Mu Bai couldn't sit still. He looked at Mu Tian eagerly, wanting to hear his idea.
What ideas does Mu Tian have?
He sighed, and his expression was not good.
"The events of that year have been kept completely secret, and after so many years, there shouldn't be any major problems."
"What if?" Mu Bai asked worriedly, "Didn't the clan leader say that the eggs were stolen in the first place? What if..."
Mu Tian was absolutely furious with him.
"What do you mean by stealing? Didn't I already say that the old patriarch had no choice back then? How many of those people on Mount Shen are good?"
Mu Bai knew he wouldn't get any answers from asking.
This matter is too great; it is simply beyond the capacity of their Snow Weasel clan to bear.
He was trapped in such a huge secret every day, and just thinking about it made his heart race with anxiety.
"Look at you, so pathetic. I shouldn't have told you in the first place."
Mu Tian was starting to regret it.
Mu Bai is a coward who can't handle things.
He wouldn't have entrusted these last words to us if he hadn't been afraid he wouldn't be able to hold on.
Mu Tian stood up and shooed people out.
"Go, go, just keep this to yourself and stop thinking about it all the time."
"Clan leader..."
......
Compared to Mu Bai's fear and trepidation, Ying Rong was much happier.
"You mean, you're pregnant?"
Her voice was trembling; a huge surprise had hit her, and she could hardly believe the witch doctor's words.
She stared intently at the old woman in front of her, trying to discern a hint of uncertainty in her cloudy eyes.
But no.
The old witch doctor nodded emphatically, his eyes reddening.
"I'm sure the young clan leader is pregnant. I'm absolutely certain of that. There's no way I'm wrong."
Seeing that her eyes were red, Yingrong couldn't help but shed tears as well.
She's pregnant...
She waited most of her life, and finally her own child arrived...
She's going to have a cub, her cub, her own flesh and blood!
When the old nanny saw her crying, she couldn't stop her own tears from flowing.
"Thanks to the Beast God, our young clan leader's wish has come true. The eldest clan leader will be overjoyed to know this."
correct.
mother.
Yingrong wiped away her tears and called the slave over: "Quickly, quickly tell Mother this good news, so she can be happy too."
Upon hearing the news, the clan chief rushed over.
When Yingrong saw her mother, her nose tingled with emotion again.
"Mother..."
She is thirty-six years old this year. She has shouldered heavy responsibilities in the clan since childhood and has become sensible at a young age. It is rare for her to be called by such an affectionate name.
But at this moment, years of hardship made her unable to hold back any longer and reveal a hint of vulnerability.
The clan chief quickly embraced her.
"Why do you still cry like you did when you were a child?"
"Mother..."
The clan leader secretly shed tears. This was her first cub, whom she had personally raised and nurtured. How could she not feel heartache?
"Mother is here, Mother is here, Mother is not old yet, Mother will take care of everything for you. You just need to give birth to the baby healthy and strong, and you don't need to worry about anything else."
Upon hearing this, Yingrong cried even harder.
Her mother was always strict, and this was the first time she had ever coaxed her like this.
The old witch doctor, fearing she might cry herself sick, quickly offered some words of comfort.
"The young clan leader is pregnant, please don't be too sad."
"I'm not sad, I'm happy."
"Yes, yes, young clan leader, you must take good care of your health so that the cub will be strong when it is born."
Yingrong cried for a while and then stopped.
She was pregnant and shouldn't be too sad, but this pregnancy came so quickly that she wasn't prepared at all.
The maids chattered excitedly nearby, making quite a scene.
"Shouldn't we prepare clothes for the cubs?"
"Yes, definitely. The material should be as soft as possible."
"Yes, yes, and we also need to find wet nurses quickly."
“Slaves also need to be selected. When this cub grows up, the people around him must be carefully chosen.”
Yingrong smiled: "There's still more than a month until the baby is born, so there's no rush."
It's not that delicate.
However, she loved hearing these things, and her cubs naturally deserved to be pampered and spoiled.
"I don't know if it's female or male."
The clan chief tapped her head.
"It doesn't matter if it's male or female. If it's male, we'll find a lower-ranking one and have someone take it over. Once the cubs are born, we'll immediately adopt it."
“Mother, this is improper, and besides, my second sister…”
"Rong'er!"
The clan leader's face hardened.
“The clan has a strict order of seniority and hierarchy. You will be the successor of the clan in the future. Your second sister can only stay in the territory, and her cubs will no longer come to the main family.”
When there are many children in a clan, there will be struggles for power. In large clans, it is inevitable that brothers will kill each other. The eldest son is respected, and the second daughter cannot succeed to the throne. She must separate from the family early and go to her own territory.
"Besides, what are you afraid of? Let the elders talk if they want. With the precedent set in Beihai, who can say anything?"
She had planned and arranged all these things for her daughter from the very beginning.
No matter the difficulties, with her as her mother, she wouldn't let her daughter worry about anything.
Hearing her mother's words, Yingrong felt a warmth in her heart.
"I know, mother."
......
"What did you say? Say it again!"
Yingyu looked on in disbelief. She grabbed the little slave's clothes, her eyes looking as if she wanted to devour him.
The little slave trembled with fear.
"The young clan leader is showing signs of pregnancy, and the eldest clan leader says that Lady Shen and Lord Yingxu must leave the main clan immediately..."
"you're lying!"
Ying-yu screamed.
"How could my mother possibly be pregnant!"
She slapped the little slave across the face.
"You must be lying to me, right? Who taught you to say that? Tell me!"
The little slave lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to breathe.
Seeing that he didn't reply, Yingyu was furious and kicked him in the head.
"I asked you a question, are you mute?!"
The little slave was kicked to the ground and quickly knelt down, ignoring the blood on his head.
"My lady, please calm your anger. The young clan leader is indeed pregnant. The eldest clan leader sent me here to help you pack your things..."
"Pack your things! Pack what?!" Yingyu was going crazy. "So what if my mother is pregnant? The offspring hasn't been born yet, we don't even know if it's male or female!"
Her voice trembled as she tried to calm herself down.
However, she was becoming increasingly flustered, and her usual arrogance was completely gone.
She can be so arrogant because she is the only female in her family bloodline.
Only she can continue the bloodline.
Now tell her that her mother is pregnant?
What a joke!
The blood on the little slave's head flowed more and more, and his voice grew softer and softer: "The clan chief said that if all else fails, we should adopt an heir. There is a precedent in Beihai, so the clan elders don't say anything."
"absurd!"
Yingyu was completely panicked; an unprecedented sense of crisis filled her with fear.
Adoption...
The grandmother actually dared to suggest adopting a son for the sake of her stepmother's child.
What about her mother?
Who does her mother count for!
Her mother was also her grandmother's daughter!
"This is not fair! This is not fair!"
Yingyu screamed and rushed out.
"Lord Tianji!"
"Lord Tianji!"
"Lord Tianji!"
The family members guarding the courtyard quickly stopped her.
"How dare you! You even dare to stop me! Don't you want to live?!"
The young boys bowed in greeting.
"The chieftain has ordered that the princess pack her things and head to the territory immediately!"
Yingyu felt a chill run through her body, a coldness that seemed to rise from her feet to her heart.
"Grandmother...she could be so heartless!"
She looked incredulous.
To prevent her from causing trouble, they even called over members of her own family...
Where is Yingxu?
What was it like in Yingxu's place?
......
The old nanny actually felt a little sorry for Yingxu.
This child isn't a bad person, unlike Shen Ji. She's just easily influenced and has a quick temper. She's easily swayed by others and starts acting without thinking.
"Please don't blame the young clan leader, sir. The young clan leader cares for you. You've known this all these years."
Yingxu listened blankly to the old woman's words, his mind buzzing, and for a moment he forgot how to speak.
The mother-in-law became pregnant.
How can it be?
Just a few days ago at the grand banquet, his mother was still helping him find a suitable partner, truly considering his well-being.
And now, they've just kicked him out...
"Why?" The light in his eyes grew dimmer. "Granny, why did Mother do this? Why did she drive us away?"
The old woman's heart was breaking.
"As you know, the elders also know the rules of the clan, the order of seniority and the distinction between superior and inferior. The clan chief would never allow Shenji to stay in the main family."
"Moreover, the adults have reached a certain age, and even if they do not leave the main family, they still need to form a sworn brotherhood."
Bondage...
Yingxu felt a chill run through him, an intense chill.
"Those clans are nothing but sycophants. How could I, with my current status, possibly be of any interest to them?"
If it were the offspring of the mother, then so be it.
His elder sister will succeed him as clan leader. With his maternal clan as his backing, many clans will naturally come to curry favor with him.
now......
His birth mother held no real power.
My father's clan suffered this misfortune as well.
Who would want him?
Even if they were interested, how could they compare to the privileges afforded to the clan chosen by the Queen Mother?
"Please don't hate the young clan leader, sir. The young clan leader was thinking of you."
Yingxu's eyelids twitched: "What do you mean by that?"
"Since you are about to leave the main family, I will not hide anything from you. Shenji is not up to the task. The young clan leader originally planned to have you form a bond with Mu Shi, have a child and raise it by your side, and then have it succeed you as clan leader in the future."
"How can it be......"
Yingxu felt like he had just heard a joke.
The old woman's eyes were red.
"How could it be impossible? My lord, you don't know that Yunji gave birth to eight cubs this time. The young clan leader kept the news from her and didn't tell anyone."
"Sir, don't you think about it? If the young clan leader didn't care about you, how could such a good thing have fallen into your lap?"
"My lord is not grateful. It is wrong of the young clan leader to act on his own initiative."
Yingxu stared blankly at the old nanny.
Even though my heart had turned completely cold, I was still shocked by those words.
The person he once looked down upon has been ruined by himself.
I messed it up...
Yingxu couldn't catch his breath and fainted.
"grown ups!"
"Guards! The witch doctor! The master has fainted!"
