Chapter 678 - Three Girls Fighting for One Husband (2/2)

Wei Junce said, “I’m going back to prepare the dowry. We’ll send our granddaughter over immediately once you give us a reply.”

Chu Xuanyue was speechless, but at least the three old men finally left the house.

After the guests left, the direct descendants of the Qi family immediately held a closed door emergency meeting.

Qi Guofan said, “Let’s go over what happened today. How should we deal with it?”

Qi Yuhu, Qi Waner’s second uncle, said, “Master, what happened today really disgraced our whole family. How dare she openly disobey your order and go against the marriage, with the boy from the Qin family.”

“I don’t think she can still be a member of our family any more. She should be expelled immediately.”

Shi Zhixuan hurriedly said, “Wan’er has made a mistake, but she just wants to find a boyfriend on her own. It’s not a big deal, so why should she be expelled from the family?”

Qi Yuhu said, “Just a small mistake? Do you know how great is the loss that she has brought to our Qi family? She made us lose face in front of the other six families!”

“We’re one of the top aristocratic family in the capital and we’re different from the ordinary people. Reputation is what all we want!”

“If Qi Waner is not severely punished today, anyone can refuse the marriage arranged by our family. That will be crazy!”

Although he and Qi Yulong were brothers, they did not get along very well with each other. Both of them wanted to be the next master and finally Qi Yuhu seized the opportunity to defeat Yulong and he would not let him off.

Qi Yulong also knew what he was thinking. Now that the engagement party was over, he had calmed down and was ready to take action.

“Brother, what do you mean? I don’t think Wan’er should be punished, instead, she deserves to be rewarded.”

Qi Yuhu sneered and said, “Brother, what are you talking about? I really don’t understand. Wan’er has disgraced our family and she deserves a reward? Does that make any sense to you?”

Qi Guofan was sitting silently, as his two sons argued bitterly with each other. Qi Guoyin, the First Elder and Qi Guozhong, the Second Elder sat on either side of him. They were also silent.

The three old men had the same idea. They wanted to test Qi Yulong and Qi Yuhu’s ability through this matter.

Qi Yulong said, “Brother, have you forgotten that Wan’er’s boyfriend is a ninth-level grand master? If we had known that her boyfriend was so outstanding, do you think our Qi family would still be engaged to the Zhao family?”

The entire room fell into silence. The Qi family had been confused by the events that occurred at the engagement party, but they finally calmed down. Everyone realized that Qi Yulong was right. Although Qin Haodong had taken Qi Waner away, he was a ninth-level grand master.

“What…”

Qi Yuhu had wanted to take this opportunity to defeat his elder brother, but he did not know what to say now.

As a member of an aristocratic family, he was very clear about the importance of a ninth-level grand master to his family. If Master had known about Qin Haodong’s cultivation in advance, he would not have arranged a marriage with the Zhao family.

Seeing Qi Yuhu becoming speechless, Qi Yulong said complacently, “Qin Haodong is a ninth-level grand master and he also has hundreds of strong masters under his command. Besides, there are also another four ninth-level grand masters around him.”

“If we can make use of such strong powers, we Qi family will rise sharply. In the future, there will be no other seven well-known families and our Qi family will be the top one in the capital!”

“Well…”

Qi Yuhu had nothing to say now. He was very clear about the rules of the aristocratic families. There were no eternal enemies, no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Reputation is important, but it could not be compared with interests.

At this time, Qi Guofan, who had been silent all the time, finally spoke up. He looked at Qi Yulong with approval and said, “Yulong is right. Wan’er should not be punished and we need to reward her.”

“The party is over and the engagement has also been dissolved now. This must be God’s will and let’s just forget about the marriage plan between the Qi and Zhao families.”

“No matter what, Wan’er is the descendant of our Qi family, a fact which can’t be denied. Since she has been with Qin Haodong, he is the son-in-law of our family.”

Qi Yuhu was still a little unconvinced and said, “Master, the other aristocratic families will definitely accuse us of bad faith.”

“What are you talking about?” Qi Guofan glared at Qi Yuhu and said, “Just use your brain and learn from your brother. Do you think that the other families will laugh at us if we admit that Qin Haodong is our son-in-law?”

“That’s impossible! They will be jealous. It’s very simple because the other families do not have a son-in-law who has reached the ninth-level of the Supreme Power Realm?”
