Chapter 362: 166 Evil Fate (Second Update)_2

Yang Ruoshui shook her head while crying, “Muxue, don’t blame your dad. He has no choice. The clan elders are forcing him. If he doesn’t divorce, he must adopt. It’s a pity that you’re not a boy.”

Liu Muxue clenched her teeth and cursed, “What era is this, still resorting to divorce? What do those old men think they are? Village emperors? It’s ridiculous. Your marriage is protected by law. If you don’t agree, no one can interfere in your marriage. My dad is such a coward, when he is pushed a little, he succumbs. In the future, won’t those old men continue to lead him around by the nose?”

“Muxue, how can you talk about your dad like that? He’s been devoted to me wholeheartedly. I’m already very content. At the beginning, I didn’t understand either and opposed his adoption, but after your Aunt Lan kept persuading me, I understood. The boy is only a son in name, and he is also blood-related. He’s your dad’s nephew, and once you have a brother, you’ll have someone to rely on after you get married. I have seen that boy, he is one in a million both in appearance and character…”

“Do you think a bad bamboo can produce a good shoot? Stop dreaming. At most, I will marry someone who will take my surname, and the child will bear my name, which can also continue the family line.”

Liu Muxue looked very impatient, hating herself for being born a girl, which caused her mother to suffer such humiliation.

Liu Muxue frowned. No, why should she hate herself for being a girl? Those clearly to be blamed were the old men stuck in their feudal ways.

She clenched her fists and asked coldly, “Is my dad at the ancestral hall now?”

Tears shimmering in her eyes, Yang Ruoshui looked up at her, “What… what are you going to do?”

Liu Muxue sneered, “What am I doing? Those old men are making things difficult for my mom and me, so I’m going to smash the ancestral hall.”

With that, she turned and ran downstairs.

Yang Ruoshui was shocked and chased after her immediately, “Muxue, don’t do anything foolish, come back quickly…”

However, there was no trace of Liu Muxue in the courtyard. Maid Liu came over, “Madam…”

Yang Ruoshui grabbed her hand anxiously and said, “Maid Liu, hurry… hurry to chase Muxue. She is going to smash the ancestral hall…”

A clan’s ancestral hall represents the spiritual belief of the family members and descendants. The Lius had prospered for hundreds of years, and their ancestral hall held great significance.

Breaking the ancestral hall was like provoking the whole Liu family. Those old men would be furious.

Maid Liu was dumbstruck and stuttered, “I… I’ll go chase her right away. Madam, rest assured, nothing will happen to the young lady.”

From a distance, Liu Muxue saw many people gathered around the ancestral hall. Liu Muxue shouted coldly, “Get out of the way!”

Upon hearing her command, the clansmen were startled and instinctively gave way, revealing a path for the exquisitely dressed young girl.

Everyone exchanged glances, their eyes filled with a mixture of fear and excitement for the upcoming drama.

In Liuxian Town, the name “Miss Liu” referred to only one person: the chieftain’s daughter, Liu Muxue.

She had been notorious for her arrogance and domineering behavior since childhood. Her reputation could stop children from crying and make the elders’ faces pale upon hearing her name.

She rarely returned home while studying abroad, but whenever she did, chaos would inevitably ensue.

However, from now on, this young lady would no longer be able to act so arrogantly.

The clansmen’s eyes carried a hint of schadenfreude as they looked toward the tall figure standing at the center of the ancestral hall.

The man wore a linen robe, his slender figure resembling a graceful pine and bamboo tree. His elegance, nobility, and aloofness stood out among the group of pot-bellied old men, making him look extraordinary.

“Jing Yun, from now on, you’re my eldest son, the one hundred and thirty-fifth direct descendant of the Liu family. I hope you’ll be self-disciplined and follow the rules and continue the family’s line for us…”

“Hold on.” Suddenly, a sharp female voice rang out, echoing through the entire ancestral hall.Liu Zhangshen looked at the girl coming in, rubbing his forehead for a headache.

He immediately scolded with a stern face, “Muxue, is this the place for a girl like you? Go back now.”

The elders sitting in the hall glared at Liu Muxue angrily. Zhangshen’s daughter was really unbearable and had disgraced the Liu family.

The oldest and highest-ranking elder had merely scolded Liu Muxue for being unorthodox and unruly before, but she had retorted by calling him “old fart.” The elder had almost died from anger.

Seeing Liu Muxue now, the elder’s face turned red and his neck thickened with rage, wishing he could hit her with his walking stick.

“Why can’t I come? What’s wrong with being a girl? Weren’t all of you born from women? And now you look down on us? Who gave you the right?” Liu Muxue was not afraid of these old men. They wouldn’t dare lay a finger on her in this law-abiding society.

Despite the commotion, the man in the hall didn’t turn his head. His back was straight, proud and aloof like bamboo or pine.

Liu Muxue’s words made the elders even angrier, almost dying on the spot. The people outside the ancestral hall also pointed at Liu Muxue and said some unpleasant things.

Liu Zhangshen shouted with a stern face, “Muxue, what nonsense are you talking about? Quickly apologize to the elders!”

But a glimmer of laughter flashed in his eyes, a slight smile emerged from the corner of his lips and quickly disappeared.

“What did I do wrong? Why should I apologize to them? Hmph! Why can’t I come to the ancestral hall? I am the younger sister of the person you want to recognize as a brother. How can I not see him myself? Is that right?”

Liu Muxue walked over and circled around the man, “To be my brother, not everyone can do it, especially the offspring of a mistress. What kind of good can come from a bad bamboo…”.

The word “bamboo shoot” was stuck in her throat, unable to come out.

Liu Muxue stared blankly at the young man in front of her, momentarily dumbfounded.

An elegant and handsome young man, holding a cup and looking at the sky, as radiant as jade trees in the wind.

The perfect gentleman from Jiangnan, exquisite and elegant, with a fragrant orchid aroma.

Thinking of this gentleman, warm as jade. In his humble abode, my heart is in disarray.

In that instant, many beautiful verses flashed through Liu Muxue’s mind. However, none of them could capture the beauty of the young man standing before her like precious orchids and jade trees.

His angled eyebrows flew into the hair on his temples, and his long eyelashes cascaded down to his eyelids. His brows conveyed a gentle, compassionate, and sorrowful air, making his entire character seem holy and unattainable.

As he lifted his gaze, time seemed to freeze. With a single glance and a smile, time stretched into eternity.

His peach blossom eyes held the most beautiful spring colors, clear and bright like wandering clouds and drifting colors. They reflected the hustle and bustle of the mortal world.

With a faint smile, the beauty mark on his brow appeared, noble and elegant, compassionate to all living beings.

Liu Muxue suddenly clutched her chest, unable to catch her breath. She breathed rapidly, her gaze fixed on the young man in front of her.

The elder spat, “Liu Zhangshen, look at the shameless daughter you’ve raised.”

Liu Zhangshen coughed and said with a stern face, “Muxue, don’t be disrespectful. This is your elder brother, Liu Jingyun.”

Elder brother, Liu Jingyun.

Liu Muxue suddenly fainted, her hand still clutching her chest.

The ancestral hall fell into chaos.
