C96 Ye Family
C96 Ye Family
The courtyard, the green brick and tile room, was filled with an ancient aura.
In the deepest part of the Ancestral Mansion, it was the most sacred place in the entire Ye Family Ancestral Mansion, and also the origin of the Ye Family's prosperity. The Ye Ancestral Hall!
Although today was not the day of Ye Family's yearly sacrifice, all of the Ye Family clansmen had already gathered outside the ancestral hall.
The Ye Family Ancestral Hall had already been decorated with many chairs, looking solemn and solemn.
At the highest point, three yellow rosewood chairs were placed side by side.
In the plaza outside the ancestral hall, stood Ye Family clansmen dressed in all sorts of clothes. These Ye Family clansmen had all rushed back from all over the country, and each one of them was an indispensable existence within the clan.
It could be said that the reason the Ye Family possessed such an extraordinary status and strength was greatly related to the clansmen of the Ye Family.
These people were spread throughout the entire nation, and engaged in various trades, making great contributions to the development of every aspect of Ye Family.
Standing at the very front of the crowd were the three remaining elders of the Ye Family. They were the ones who currently held the most authority in the Ye Family.
Compared to their usual high spirits, the three elders of the Ye Family had extremely ugly expressions on their faces.
The old man standing in the middle looked up at the sky and said, "Enter the ancestral hall!"
The three elders walked into the ancestral hall side by side. Behind them, many people from Ye Family entered the ancestral hall in two rows, and according to their seniority, they sat down in an orderly manner.
Moments later, all the seats were filled with Ye Family clansmen.
"Second brother, you tell me."
The old man on the left lowered his head and closed his eyes to recuperate. The old man on the right did the same.
The old man seated in the middle was the one with the highest status other than the old man in the Ye Family, and was also the largest out of the three elders.
The old man nodded and slowly stood up. All the people of Ye Family in the ancestral hall turned their gazes towards the old man at the same time, waiting for him to speak.
The old man's turbid eyes swept across the seated Ye Family clansmen, his heart heavy.
Even though he knew what kind of panic and shock the following words would cause to the Ye Family, he still had no choice but to tell it to the public.
The old man took a deep breath, and said with a deep voice: "The Chang Family is already over!"
As the sound of his voice faded, the entire hall fell silent.
Ever since Ye Tianren had taken over the position of Patriarch, the's resources had immediately slanted towards the Chang Family, causing the status of the Chang Family to skyrocket. Especially in the last two years, after Chang Qingtian had succeeded in becoming the next Patriarch.
The strength of the Chang Family had already exceeded the strength of the Ye Family.
At the beginning, there were many people from the Ye Family who disagreed with Ye Tianren's decision to help the Chang Family, but after Ye Tianren's willful decision and the rapid rise of the Chang Family, many people from the Ye Family kept their mouths shut.
The facts proved that Ye Tianren's method was not a problem. After the rise of Chang Family, although he did not shed tears of gratitude, he still returned the favor, contributing a lot to the development of Ye Family.
But now, Chang Family was dead!
This meant that the Ye Family had lost their greatest reliance, this meant that Ye Tianren and all the resources and thoughts they had for the Ye Family had all gone down the drain!
"How is this possible!?" With Chang Qingtian's status, how could he possibly cause the Chang Family to collapse?! "
"Elder!" Did you get it wrong! How could the Chang Family be destroyed!? "
… ….
Some people abruptly stood up from their chairs, their faces filled with disbelief, while some others coldly laughed and shook their heads, believing that their elders had misunderstood the news. To them, given their current status in the Chang Family, it was simply impossible for them to collapse.
The Great Elder's face slightly trembled, and said in a deep voice once again, "Chang Qingtian had already escaped with everyone with their Chang Family. He is heading overseas to seek asylum, and this matter will be known to everyone in the Jiangzhou before long."
"You should know how big of a blow our Ye Family will be once the news of our Chang Family being destroyed gets out. The reason why I've gathered all of you back tonight is so that you can think of a way to achieve absolute perfection today."
The Great Elder's expression was bitter, but his voice was exceptionally resolute, "Our Ye Family have been in the hands of this bastard Ye Tianren for hundreds of years, we absolutely cannot be destroyed!"
Hiss!
The ancestral hall fell into silence once more!
This time, the silence was not due to shock and fear, but from the heavy pressure!
Whether they believed it or not, the truth was right in front of them.
Once the Chang Family stepped onto the stage, the choice of life and death awaited the Ye Family.
After a long while, the Ye Family crowd gradually calmed down. A middle-aged man who sat closest to the three elders frowned, and said in a deep voice: "I told you before that aiding the Chang Family was the wrong decision!"
"Regardless of whether Chang Qingtian can become a representative or not, it is not a good thing for our Ye Family! Now that our Chang Family is done for, we will have to suffer the same fate! "
The Great Clan Elder waved his hand and advised, "Di Kun, stop talking. Since the situation is already like this, we can only think of a way to let Ye Family pass through the immediate crisis."
The Ye Family had a total of four inheritances, of which the old man was the inner chamber, a branch that inherited the Ye Family. As for the three elders, they were the outer chamber, and their descendants were all descendants that inherited the Ye Family.
When the old man was still alive, even though there were only a few people in the inner chamber, he was still able to suppress the people in the outer chamber, so a second voice other than the Patriarch's would definitely not sound out from the Ye Family.
However, once the old man left and Ye Tianren inherited the Patriarch's position, other voices started to sound out from the Ye Family, not only because of the large number of people outside, but also because of Ye Tianren's actions that made people unable to accept him.
Now, Patriarch Ye Tianren had died, Ye Loong had gone missing, and Ye Yue had left Ye Family with Ye Fann.
In the entire Ye Family, there was no longer anyone from the Inner Branch.
"Because of that bastard Ye Tianren, we don't even have 30% of the Ye Group's shares. Once the news about Chang Family spreads, we don't have the strength to keep the remaining shares!"
"If we lose our final stake in the Ye Group, our Ye Family will follow in Chang Family's footsteps!"
He was responsible for the external business of the clan. During the many years that his Ye Family had been established, Ye Xuantao had made an unparalleled contribution to the clan, and was a talent that had been praised by the old man back then.
However, right now, the face of the God of Fortune who was called 'Business' had turned extremely ugly.
These words were like a bucket of cold water that was poured over the hearts of all the Ye Family clansmen.
Without a stake in the deal and a backer to back it up, a single sentence from Ye Youting placed the bare facts right in front of him.
The ancestral hall fell into silence once more as the grand elder sat down dejectedly. He looked extremely exhausted. He had finally experienced the anguish of being in charge of a clan.
In the past, when the old gramps was here, the three of them did not need to worry about the troubles of their clan, nor did they need to worry about their own old age.
But now, as long as they thought about the crisis their Ye Family were to face, it would feel as though their chests were being blocked.
"You guys gave up just like that, and you think you can face the ancestors of Ye Family!?"
"The Old Master spent most of his life to manage the Ye Family to this day, and you juniors are acting like this right now, don't you think you're worthy of the Old Master!?"
An angry shout suddenly came from outside the door, causing everyone in the ancestral hall to tremble.
The three elders and all the members of the Ye Clan all looked towards the door.
At the door, a figure stood against the light.
Although it was slightly hunched, it looked really grand.
"Young Master Ye Loong is nowhere to be found, but Eldest Young Master Ye Fann is still around!"
With just one sentence, it caused the expressions of all the Ye Family clansmen and three elders to drastically change!
