Chapter 456: Retrieving The Clan
Everyone lifted their heads and set their eyes upon that extraordinary face, swaying uncontrollably.
This Helian Wei Wei in front of them was not the same trash as before, it was as if there was something else on her, she was able to give out a chilling and cool aura just by raising her arm.
Helian Wei Wei walked slowly toward the throne with everyone’s attention on her, imposing a powerful spirit. Her voice was soft, which was just nice for everyone to listen, “This seat seems to belong to me.”
Helian Guang Yao did not respond to what she said until he fully understood what she meant.
There was already a commotion going on down there, the sound of the stewards’ discussion was like a flood, with assumptions flowing everywhere.
Helian Guang Yao’s face tensed up, his fierce gaze pierced straight through Helian Wei Wei. “You shouldn’t cause trouble here, go back to your position and sit down, don’t break the tradition even before the Clan Meeting starts, even if you’re the Third Princess Consort now, you should still be aware of your sense of propriety.”
“Of course I know my sense of propriety,” Helian Wei Wei’s tone was calm as still water. “Maybe Mr. Guang Yao has forgotten, I am the true heir of the Helian bloodline, and you, are just a superfluous son-in-law. I couldn’t control whoever was sitting on this position back then when I didn’t have the right to attend the Clan Meeting. But since now that I do, don’t you think you should return the place which supposedly belongs to me?”
Helian Guang Yao was enraged when he was called a superfluous son-in-law, thus, he slammed on the wooden table heavily. “Helian Wei Wei! Let me repeat, even if you’re a princess consort, you can’t break the ancestors’ rules as well! If you can’t bear it, you can dismiss yourself from the meeting now!”
“The ancestors’ rules?” Helian Wei Wei laughed and commanded, “Steward Zhang, please tell Mr. Guang Yao, what exactly is the Helian Clan’s rule!”
The steward whose name was called could not sit still anymore, his forehead was drenched with cold sweat, but he did not answer.
Helian Wei Wei glanced at him with a faint smile, “Not answering? Fine, I have the genealogy here, it’s clearly written on this if the Head of Clan has passed away, the clan’s heir will host the Clan Meeting and claim the seat, regardless of their age, as long as they are authorized. All the attending stewards must have known about this right?”
No one spoke a word, the scene was in complete silence.
“Mr. Guang Yao, please move away from the seat.” Helian Wei Wei raised her brows provocatively, ignoring the oppressed rage on Helian Guang Yao’s face.
Helian Guang Yao’s body tensed up because of anger, his gaze was like blades, piercing through Helian Wei Wei!
Helian Wei Wei smirked, “What’s wrong? Is Mr. Guang Yao trying to disobey the Helian Clan’s rule?”
Helian Guang Yao finally noticed at this moment, since she walked in, she did not call him by his last name, the reason was clearly shown now.
Su Yan Mo who sat beside him thought of something, she sounded like she was trying to solve peacefully, “Wei Wei was too young back then, so she may have forgotten that if the heir has not fulfilled the right and age requirement yet, the elder has the authority to substitute as the leader.”
“As Madam Su said, he only needs to substitute as the leader, not taking the seat.” Helian Wei Wei glanced around her surroundings, smiling faintly and looked at Helian Guang Yao again. “Mr. Guang Yao, I’m still here, yet you’re sitting on my seat, claiming my family property as if that’s normal, isn’t that shameful?”
Helian Guang Yao clenched both his hands tightly. “You!”
Helian Wei Wei sneered, “Move aside.”
The discussion was still going on below, everyone was putting their attention on Helian Guang Yao.
Helian Guang Yao was suppressing his rage and spoke coldly, “I, Helian Guang Yao, has worked hard solely for Helian Clan all these years, even if there’s no credit, there should still be effort, yet I’ve been misunderstood in such a way, so be it, after the meeting, everyone will know what’s right, and what’s wrong.”
Helian Wei Wei ignored his hypocritical speech. She looked at him smilingly as what he had to say did not matter much because he would still have to give her the seat after all.
Helian Guang Yao had to give her the seat right now, but he believed that this little b*stard could only boast herself for a short while.
He would wait until the stewards made their decisions.
He would let her repay it the same way she treated him to get a seat!
Helian Guang Yao brushed his sleeves as he got up, he then strode toward the side and sat down, that seat was not low either, but compared with Helian Wei Wei’s master seat, there were a few levels of difference.
Helian Wei Wei did not sit down immediately, instead, she glanced over at Su Yan Mo who sat beside the seat; her gaze turned even colder.
That was supposed to be her mother’s seat.
In her memory, her mother sat beside her grandfather with full armored, ruling over a big clan.
Yet this woman, what was her right to sit there?
Helian Wei Wei smiled, but her eyes remained emotionless. She stared at Su Yan Mo but did not talk to her, instead she called out to the steward again, “Steward Zhang.”
The steward could not understand the reason why the princess consort could remember him so well today. He then answered her troublesomely, “Yes?”
“In this dignified Clan Meeting, how dare you to allow a second wife who has no relation to the clan to sit on the second highest seat,” Helian Wei Wei spoke coldly, “Throughout the seven years of my absence in the Clan Meeting, has the clan become undisciplined?”
The other stewards other than Steward Zhang needed to reconsider upon hearing that.
It was inappropriate for Su Yan Mo to sit on that seat in the first place.
Obviously, Helian Wei Wei would point this out.
It was not as difficult for steward Zhang to decide for Su Yan Mo as he did before for Helian Guang Yao. He stretched out his arm. “Madam, why not you change a seat?”
Except for that time on the street, Su Yan Mo had not been humiliated as such before in front of so many people like today!
Yet, the circumstances did not give her a choice to reject.
She had prepared for a whole day for this Clan Meeting, especially her outfit, she did all these with the hope of winning back her reputation.
However, now she was forced to change her seat. Su Yan Mo’s chest was filled with rage as if they would explode anytime, but she retained her smile. “It’s my fault, after all these years, I thought of myself as a part of the clan, but I can’t avoid being excluded, just as Guang Yao mentioned, we shall see what happens after the Clan Meeting has ended.”
Upon finishing her sentence, she stood up, planning to sit next to Helian Guang Yao, but she then realized that there was no space left, hence, she could only stand at the side awkwardly. Her eyes were filled with malicious intent, she wanted to see how that little b*stard would react once the hidden army appeared later…
