395 Powerful Son

Lin Hang’s expression stiffened as he cursed the dead Lin Shu inwardly. She wasn’t cautious at all and got caught red-handed. “I think it’s the former Empress Dowager…”

“Lin Hang, watch your words! That vicious woman is unworthy of being the Empress Dowager, let alone being buried in the Imperial Tombs. I’ve already deposed her of her position as the Empress Dowager,” Ao Jie interrupted Lin Hang.

Lin Hang’s expression darkened. Although Lin Shu was vicious, she had raised Ao Jie for more than twenty years. However, he didn’t care. The humiliation the Ancient Kingdom had given the Lin family couldn’t be forgotten!

“I didn’t expect there to be such a scum in our family. However, even if she did something wrong, our family should have been the ones to punish her.” Lin Hang chuckled as he said with displeasure.

“Since she married into the royal family, she’s a member of the royal family in life and a ghost of the royal family in death. Moreover, we didn’t punish her. She was angered to death,” Ao Jie said with mockery.

Lin Hang smiled, but his smile was a little cold and he didn’t say anything for a long time.

Ao Jie continued staring at Lin Hang with a faint smile.

Lin Hang stared at Ao Jie’s smug face for a long time before saying, “I see. You can’t be blamed!”

Ao Jie smiled back.

Lin Hang suddenly closed his fan and said, “In that case, I’ll take my leave first. I hope I can sit here and chat with the emperor so calmly next time as well!”

Lin Hang’s words were threatening, but Ao Jie and the others didn’t take it to heart.

“Since the Lin Clan’s Patriarch is leaving, we won’t stay any longer either.” The Ji Clan’s First Elder also stood up.

“Go ahead!” Ao Jie had no intention of standing up to send him off.

“Wait, I still have something to ask Qiao Yanhui!” Ji Yueyue’s voice sounded a little incoherent. After all, her face was swollen, so how could she speak clearly?

The First Elder’s heart skipped a beat. He was afraid that Ji Yueyue would anger Qiao Yanhui and they would all die today.

After Ji Yueyue looked at the First Elder coldly, the First Elder immediately shut his mouth. Qiao Yanhui couldn’t be challenged, but they couldn’t provoke the Saintess either.

“Qiao Yanhui, are you really not going back to the Ji family with us?” Ji Yueyue warned, as if if Qiao Yanhui objected, there would be very serious consequences.

“Of course I will. I’ll bring your corpses back,” Qiao Yanhui said as dense internal energy condensed in his hand.

Ji Yueyue’s pupils dilated. How dare Qiao Yanhui challenge a secret family?

The First Elder hurriedly pulled Ji Yueyue away. Unexpectedly, Yuan’er, who was beside Qiao Yanhui, suddenly raised his hands and aimed the crossbow at Ji Yueyue.

“Be careful!” The Great Elder exclaimed.

“Swish!” A slender arrow whistled over with powerful might.

Bang!

The crossbow bolt pierced through Ji Yueyue’s ear and into the stone pillar behind them. The crossbow bolt was actually stuck into the stone pillar.

Ji Yueyue’s heart was in her throat. This was the second time she felt her life was in danger. The first time was when Lin Hang wanted to skin her, and the second time was because of a child? How could this child be so powerful?

Not only were Ji Yueyue and the others shocked, but even Lin Hang, who was about to leave, stopped in his tracks and his expression changed. At this moment, there was only one thought in Lin Hang’s mind. Xu Qing’s family was his greatest obstacle.

At this moment, the hall was so quiet that the sound of sweat dripping could be heard.

At this moment, a young boy said in a cold voice, “Father, I shot that fly. Where’s the reward?”

That voice sounded a little childish, but Ji Yueyue and Lin Hang could hear the threat in it!

Ji Yueyue turned around stiffly. Everyone in the hall could hear the sound of her neck cracking.

The crossbow bolt was pulled out of the stone pillar. There was really a fly stuck in the tail, but it was already badly mutilated.

Ji Yueyue’s face turned even paler as cold sweat flowed down her forehead. What precise archery and a powerful weapon! This child…

As Xu Qing looked at her son lovingly, she felt a strong sense of pride.

Qiao Yanhui, who was at the side, rubbed Yuan’er’s little head. “That’s right. If you want a reward, ask your uncle for it. Ask him for whatever you want. There’s no need to stand on ceremony.”

Everyone was shocked once again. How could Qiao Yanhui be so arrogant? Ask the emperor for a reward? Any reward? If he wanted the throne, would Ao Jie have to give it to him? Even if Qiao Yanhui was Ao Jie’s brother, he couldn’t be so willful!

Everyone subconsciously looked at Ao Jie while wondering how angry he would be. However, Ao Jie actually smiled. “What reward do you want? I’ll satisfy you!”

Everyone marveled at how much Ao Jie doted on Yuan’er.
