Transmigrated Villain: All the Female Leads are Reincarnated
Chapter 7: What happened to the saying "three years east of the river, three years west of the
In the main hall of the Xiao family's front courtyard, Chu Yu sat on the throne belonging to the Xiao family head, with Luo Yin standing beside him, while the Xiao family elders stood on the left and right sides below.
Chu Yu did not speak, and they did not dare to sit down.
About fifteen minutes later, while the Xiao family elders were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, Chu Yu finally gestured to Luo Yin.
Luo Yin understood immediately and asked, "Where is Patriarch Xiao Ye?"
Upon hearing this, the First Elder immediately stepped forward and respectfully said, "The Patriarch is cultivating in the backyard."
"Cultivating in the backyard? Xiao Ye really has quite the airs. Young Master Chu has come to visit, and he doesn't even show up?"
The elders looked at each other, somewhat embarrassed.
They did not inform Xiao Ye of Young Master Chu's visit, but instead said they planned to contact Chu Yu first to establish a good relationship.
Unexpectedly, things have backfired.
"Miss Luo, please calm down. We will have the head of the family come over right away."
These words have already revealed Xiao Ye's status in the Xiao family; as the head of the family, he indeed has little standing.
Let the head of the family come over, instead of inviting him over.
Chu Yu smiled coldly to himself. The collateral relatives had been usurping the throne for years and seemed to really consider themselves the masters.
Xiao Ye's return, intended to thoroughly resolve the Xiao family's affairs, likely involves eliminating all these collateral relatives.
Even if the Xiao family is now despicable, if they are not eliminated, this matter will remain in one's heart and may cause inner demons in the future, which will be detrimental to cultivation.
Xiao Ye has only been back in the Xiao family for a few days, so why hasn't he completely eradicated the collateral branches yet?
The elders of the Xiao family quickly invited Xiao Ye over.
His dark robes accentuated his tall and straight figure, and his black hair was loosely tied up with a few stray strands falling over his eyebrows.
His sword-like eyebrows slanted upwards towards his temples, his peach blossom eyes had slightly upturned corners, and his pupils were an indistinct shade of dark brown. When he smiled, his lips curved into a nonchalant roguishness, while when he was cold, he exuded a chilling sharpness.
His features possessed both a youthful, clean-cut handsomeness and a cunning, ruthless wisdom that revealed his understanding of the world. He exuded an unfathomable danger and charm.
Xiao Ye walked over expressionlessly, having no intention of wasting words with those from the collateral branches.
But upon hearing that an important figure had arrived, and that it was related to Luo Yin, he came over to see what was going on.
But when he walked in and saw Chu Yu, he was clearly stunned for a moment.
Just as he was about to clasp his hands in a salute and shout "Godfather above," he saw Chu Yu shake his head slightly, and then he stopped all his movements, feeling somewhat puzzled.
Why did my godfather come to the Xiao family?
Could it be that they came to support him?
As for Luoyin?
He completely ignored her; women would only affect his sincerity in serving his godfather!
"Xiao Ye, this is Young Master Chu from Luoyun Manor. Hurry up and greet him!"
The elder saw Xiao Ye standing there in a daze, his brows furrowed tightly, and he felt even more disdain in his heart.
In the end, they're just twenty-year-olds with poor character!
A sharp glint flashed in Xiao Ye's eyes, but he still quickly clasped his hands in a salute.
"Greetings, Young Master Chu."
His words were spoken very respectfully, which pleased the elders.
That's right!
No need for formalities.
Chu Yu said calmly, having already made a mental note of the Xiao family members.
Bullying his obedient and filial adopted son?
Kill!
The First Elder hurriedly inquired, "Young Master Chu and Miss Luo's presence at the Xiao family today is an honor. May I ask what Young Master Chu's instructions are?"
He desperately wanted Chu Yu to give the Xiao family something to do, so that, not only in Qingzhou, but also within the Great Xia Dynasty, the Xiao family could thrive and hold a very high position.
Chu Yu ignored him and looked at Luo Yin instead.
Luo Yin was clearly taken aback when she saw Xiao Ye.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Ye remained so calm upon seeing him and learning his identity.
Wait a minute, shouldn't he be very excited?
Moreover, Xiao Ye gave her a very powerful feeling at this moment. Was it just an illusion?
Never mind, let's call off the engagement first!
With Chu Yu here, today's annulment of the engagement will definitely go very smoothly, and we might even be able to take this opportunity to get rid of Xiao Ye, this big trouble!
She gathered her thoughts and immediately said, "I, Luo Yin, am already your maidservant, and from now on I shall serve you. Therefore, the marriage agreement with the Xiao family should be null and void."
"It is the responsibility of the Luo family to annul the engagement, so please accept these gifts."
As soon as he finished speaking, a disciple of the Luo family carried in some boxes.
Once opened, it was filled with rare and precious treasures, as well as the inner cores of various mythical beasts.
Hearing Luo Yin's words, everyone was dumbfounded. The Xiao family elders stared at her blankly, but were soon drawn to the contents of the box.
So many treasures?
The Luo family is indeed very sincere!
Luo Yin kept observing the changes in everyone's expressions, while Chu Yu remained expressionless and calm.
The reactions of the Xiao family elders are irrelevant; the most important thing is Xiao Ye!
Seeing that Xiao Ye was dumbfounded, she was secretly delighted.
The other party definitely can't accept being jilted, so they should fight back just like in the storyline, get thoroughly humiliated, and finally utter that iconic line that becomes a famous scene.
However, she had no idea what Xiao Ye was thinking at that moment.
"My godfather has a maid?"
"For so many years, my godfather has always been surrounded by Elder Xiao Shengyun and the others. Not a single woman, not even the fish in the lake have been male. And now he's taken in maids?"
"Could it be that my godfather has taken a liking to Luo Yin? Hiss~ Shock, shock!"
"It's a good thing Luo Yin came to annul the engagement; it saves me the trouble of going to the Luo family myself."
After considering all this, Xiao Ye nodded solemnly and said, "Alright, the marriage between the Xiao and Luo families ends here. Congratulations."
"Huh? Ah?"
Luo Yin was full of confidence, thinking that Xiao Ye would be furious and rush over to argue with her, or even fight with her, and that Chu Yu would most likely intervene in the end.
But to everyone's surprise, Xiao Ye pulled this stunt.
"No, that's not right!"
"What happened to the saying 'fortune changes every thirty years'? Why don't you say so?"
"Could it be that things changed so much because I contacted Chu Yu beforehand?"
Luo Yin regretted it and almost slapped herself.
If she had known this would happen, she would have just followed the plot and started the war here in the end. Why did she have to contact Chu Yu so early?
That's good, it seems Xiao Ye isn't prepared to clash with Chu Yu.
What should we do next?
"You... you just agreed like that?"
Luo Yin was having a mental breakdown and felt like her brain wasn't working properly.
"Of course, it's a good thing that you're following Young Master Chu. I, Xiao Ye, am not an unreasonable person!"
Nonsense, how could he possibly cause trouble when his godfather finally has a woman by his side?
Besides, he really had absolutely no feelings for Luo Yin.
Instead of wasting time thinking about parental love, it would be better to squeeze out some time to figure out how to accomplish your godfather's grand plan; that would be the truly meaningful thing to do.
woman?
Too troublesome!
"Well, thank you so much."
Luo Yin wanted to cry but had no tears; things had changed so much!
"You seem unhappy?"
Chu Yu suddenly blurted out a sentence, which startled Luo Yin so much that her heart skipped a beat.
"Young master, you misunderstand. Luo Yin is very happy."
Chu Yu chuckled inwardly. This female lead has some issues; we should investigate her thoroughly to find out what's going on.
However, now that we've met Xiao Ye, there are some things we need to discuss with him in person.
"You may all step back."
Their gazes swept over the elders of the Xiao family, startling them so much that they quickly retreated from the hall.
"You can go down now, I'll talk to him."
"Yes."
Luo Yin was secretly delighted. Could it be that Chu Yu was going to stand up for her and completely eliminate Xiao Ye, this threat?
Heaven has finally taken pity on us and opened its eyes!
