Chapter 537 - Forcing Wei Wei To Abdicate? Dense! (2/2)

The thunder rumbled.

The northern after-fall showers came and went in the blink of an eye. However, after the rain, it was pretty cooling.

The rain washed everything away.

At least nothing could be seen anymore at the compound of the imperial palace.

The Third Prince was summoned to the front of the hall as he was required to be present in order to punish the Elder Helian.

The Retired Emperor knew this better than anyone else.

Helian Wei Wei did not go with Baili Jia Jue, instead, she took off her commoner disguise and put on the clothes that she usually wore. At the entrance of the General’s residence, she stood with her tall and slender figure together with only the Little Seventh Prince.

However, Little Seven was enough to defeat hundreds of guards.

“Third Aunt, are we eating here today?” Little Seven was still holding onto the souvenir that he had gotten from the provincial capital… the big crab!

Along the way, the crab had been holding out its pincers in the air. If any ordinary people were to see the crab, it would definitely attack.

The Seventh Prince lowered his head and gave the crab a bite on its leg.

The crab was immediately intimidated by the bite.

For someone who could intimidate a crab with a bite…

The shadow guards looked up and turned their gaze toward the sky. In the whole world, only their little master could achieve that. With such magic, he could indeed accompany the Princess Consort into the manor alone. If things went south, he could still give each of the stewards a bite…

Holding the little man’s hand, Helian Wei Wei trod into the manor.

Every step that she took, the images of her being driven out last time were as clear as crystal.

And now… she was finally back!

Helian Wei Wei took a deep breath and tightened the hand which was hidden under her sleeve. With her long legs, she marched onto the steps.

Behind her was the setting sun, and as the light met the shadow, it was beautiful beyond words.

Whatever that had to happen would happen eventually.

There were a total of 49 stewards in the Helian Clan, and 41 of them came.

They had come to propose the removal of the family heir. As they looked toward Helian Wei Wei, there was despise in their eyes.

The Third Prince had always been thorough in dealing with matters. So up until now, the stewards in the Helian Clan had no idea that the ‘Lord Wei’ whom they had been hearing about lately was actually Helian Wei Wei. They still thought that Helian Wei Wei was just a poor and fair Princess Consort who had no power.

That was why they were gathered here to overthrow Helian Wei Wei.

Without any merits or fame, one would never be qualified to be the heir of the Helian Clan.

That was what the Old Master Helian had mentioned before his death, and it had always been one of the rules in the Helian Clan all this time. As long as there were more than 40 proposals submitted among the stewards, their plan would work.

Bang.

Someone knocked on the table with the tobacco pipe in his hand, and then opened his mouth without any expression, “Eldest Young Lady, you really had us waiting.”

“Sigh, Brother Guo, since the Eldest Young Lady is here now, let’s not waste time talking about nonsense. Tell the Eldest Young Lady about our intention and let her give up on the position herself, then both parties can go along their happy ways.”

“Brother Li is right. Eldest Young Lady, I think you should know the rules of the family very well. Although you have become a Princess Consort of the Royal Family now, the rules cannot be broken. I advise you, Eldest Young Lady, to hand over the power nicely and avoid everyone’s embarra.s.sment.”

At first, Helian Wei Wei did not speak, but instead, she walked up to the main seat. Crossing her slender legs and supporting her chin lazily with her left hand that had a silver ring on, she said wickedly and casually, “What did you say just now? Hand over?”
