Chapter 479: Crisis (1/2)
Jin Rou had finally reached home. Syni Su had almost didn't want him to go, but he managed to coax her. Besides, she fully understood that Jin Rou had something to do at home, so she was just being a little girly and all.
However, what met Jin Rou there was a heavy atmosphere that couldn't be described well. All of the Rou members, except for Yanlu Rou, were sitting at the dining hall without touching their food.
The atmosphere was awkward and heavy, so Jin Rou didn't know what to say at first. But eventually, he forced himself and said, ”What happened?”
His mother snapped back from her daze and immediately stood up after seeing Jin Rou and said, ”Welcome back, Jin'er. Have you eaten yet? Perfect, we're having dinner here.”
Her smile was forced. Very forced that Jin Rou could totally see it, ”I'm asking what happened.”
The room turned into dead silence once again. No one wanted to speak. Not Fan Rou or Lao Rou. They just wanted to keep quiet and slowly eat their food later.
Jin Rou knew there's something wrong. And he was not willing to remain oblivious of what happened. Thus he pushed and pushed the matter further. It was unfair on his part if his family would keep it a secret from him.
After several minutes of trying to break the ice, his mother finally spoke with a heavy sigh, ”Your grandmother, Yanlu, has been arrested by the Court Council.”
”Court Council?” Suddenly, Jin Rou's blood turned cold and asked, ”Why did they do that?”
”They are pushing the issue that your grandmother is the reason why a member of the Su Family had died in our place. Thus, they want to punish her as a warning to our family.” Jin Rou's mother said with a low tone.
This council had been trying to find fault with their family for millions of years. However, they couldn't find a mistake in the past to use against them. So of course, now that a reason was here present, they would grab it immediately.
Jin Rou researched about this council and learned that ever since time immemorial, they were trying to oust the celestial family into oblivion and they would rule the entire universe with their hands. The thing was, Yanlu Rou had suppressed them for so many times and long time so they couldn't move. After all, with Yanlu Rou's power, who would dare from the Court Council to scheme against her?
Unfortunately, the suppression wasn't long as they suddenly found a hole they could enter. Thus leading to Yanlu Rou being arrested.
Now, the council was using the reason that Keisa Su had died here to put a punishment on Yanlu Rou. And of course, with how the things work here in this world, Jin Rou knew what kind of punishment his grandmother would receive.
Jin Rou's body was turning cold, as well as the temperature of the room was dropping.
”Those bunch of old bastards seem to be asking for death now.” Jin Rou smiled and said, ”Mother, I will go and retrieve grandmother back. With me here, let's see how daring this council is.”
