Beauty is too weak to be bullied

Chapter 40 Are you going to protect her?

Everyone looked at Du Qingtan in shock.

A slender and weak girl, fair and beautiful, with a peaceful and gentle expression, even a little pitiful.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, who would have believed that she would hit someone.

And it was a hit, knocking a man like Liao Guanshi to the ground so easily, he couldn't get up for a long time.

The clan elder who had been lowering his head to play with the seal finally raised his head.

He squinted his eyes, looked at Du Qingtan standing outside through the deep ancestral hall, and then saw everyone's reactions in his eyes.

The sun shines down from above, wrapping the plainly dressed little lady in it, as if the whole body is shining.

She stood there calmly, neither frightened nor frightened, neither making noise nor crying, quite like a general.

It's the kind of calmness and domineering that has seen many big scenes, but ordinary little things can no longer impress her.

No wonder it made the Xiao family knock down their teeth and swallow their blood.

Unexpectedly, such a strange woman appeared in the clan.

He laughed, and looked at the patriarch Du Ke, whose facial muscles were already distorted: "It's really interesting."

Du Ke just woke up from his astonishment, and was preparing for the next round of blows against Du Qingtan, when he heard this sentence suddenly.

"Our family is going to have a wonderful girl."

The clan elder with white beard and hair stood up with a smile: "Today's sage is a woman, she said long ago that women may not be inferior to men.

But I still have to regret that Xiao Wuniang is just not Erlang, otherwise, the hope of Du's family may not fall on her. "

Although he was old, his voice was very loud, and all the clansmen present could hear him clearly.

They looked at each other and whispered: "What does Uncle Ninth mean?"

Du Ke's face turned serious, he stared at Uncle Jiu vigilantly, and said slowly: "Uncle Jiu, do you think it's right for Wu Niang to be disobedient, disrespectful to the clan, reverse black and white, and disregard the family?"

Uncle Jiu said indifferently: "If she really has these behaviors, it is wrong. But, even if the yamen interrogates a prisoner, she should be allowed to defend herself, figure out the ins and outs before making a conclusion, so that it is reasonable and legal, and can convince the public. National laws and family rules, It’s not something that can be counted by just touching the upper and lower lips.”

Du Ke sneered: "Are you going to protect her?"

Ninth Uncle put his hands behind his back, raised his chest and raised his head, and said loudly: "I protect the laws and family rules of the country! The Du family, a century-old family, established their family by relying on the rules of poetry and books, otherwise, the foundation will be damaged, and there will be no Jingzhao Du family in the world!

This time it is the Xiao family, next time there will be the Zhang family, the Li family!Without the protection of the clan, how can the daughters of the Du family gain a foothold in her husband's family?How dare a man from the Du family dare to call himself a man!

In my opinion, over the years, Mrs. Du has bowed his head for too long and tolerated everything too much, which caused other people to ignore us, and this happened! "

The clansmen nodded secretly and began to discuss in a low voice.

Yang's eyes were red and said: "Finally, someone who understands, that's the reason."

Twelve uncles also said: "This is the foundation of the long-term prosperity of the big family!"

Du Qingtan lowered his eyes halfway, and smiled slightly.

This man is right.

This ninth uncle was a generation older than the patriarch Du Ke, and he should have been the original patriarch, but because his son was involved in the son-in-law's treason case, he had to take a step back.

Many years have passed since that case, and it has long since lost its influence.

It is a pity that once the opportunity is missed, it is difficult to come back.

For these years, Uncle Jiu has been subservient to Du Ke, quite unwilling.

However, Du Ke has always been on guard against him, holding the position of patriarch tightly. Although he is mediocre and incompetent and is often criticized, there are no major mistakes for him to catch.

In addition, Du Ke has been in business for many years and has tied a group of supporters with benefits. He can only pretend to be deaf and dumb, and refuses to stand out easily in everything.

But this time is different.

Xiao's and Du's resignation disturbed the king of Liang and the current prime minister, and the whole Chang'an city was full of uproar, which became a major event that could shake the foundation of the patriarch.

This is one of the reasons Duco reacted so violently.

He stood up excitedly, pointed at Jiu Shuzu and said, "Are you blaming me? Could it be that Yang and Wu Niang did not have any clans and made their own decisions when things became like this?"

Ninth Uncle didn't speak, just looked at Du Ke quietly with his hands behind his back.

Another skinny clan elder stood up and said, "Don't worry, Seventh Brother. No matter how angry you are, you still have to respect rules and filial piety. Anyway, Uncle Jiu is also our elder, so it's too rude."

Du Ke was so angry that he stared at the thin old man gloomyly and said, "Third brother also thinks that I am unfair? So you want to help Uncle Jiu deal with me?"

The third uncle said fairly: "As far as the matter is concerned, how could it be against you? Seventh, I am not talking about you, you are a little biased."

Du Ke glanced at Ninth Uncle and Third Uncle with a sneer, looked at the other clan elders threateningly, and said slowly, "What do you guys think?"

Fatty is always his man, so he naturally wants to speak for him: "Seventh brother is fair, you can't talk about black and white just because Liang Wang and Yang Xianggong helped Wu Niang."

Four of the seven clan elders have been divided into opposing factions, and it depends on how the remaining three stand in line.

Yang was very nervous.

These power disputes within the clan are actually similar to those outside the clan, forming cliques for the greatest benefit, and the so-called justice is just a fig leaf.

Du Qingtan was not in a hurry, and watched the play calmly.

At this time, Guanshi Liao finally struggled to get up.

With half of his face swollen, he growled and was about to pounce on Du Qingtan.

Du Qingtan gave him another left uppercut with a blank face, knocking him to the ground again.

Yang Shi finally recovered from the excitement of the clan elders' quarrel, pointed at her in shock and said, "You..."

Du Qingtan nodded lightly: "I also learned it from a dream."

As for what I didn't want to talk to Dugu before, it's an excuse I learned from a book, go to hell, and come back next time.

"This..." Yang's heart, which had no place to rest, finally calmed down. The facts were before her eyes, and she couldn't help but not believe it.

Uncle Twelve was very relieved: "I really didn't expect someone to encounter a fairy beside me...Look, there is a quarrel inside."

Of the remaining three of the seven elders, two more stood in line.

Now it is three to three, and there is still one crucial person who has not made a statement.

This clan elder is the youngest, known as Nineteenth Uncle.

But in fact, as far as Du Qingtan knew, he was only one generation older than her and Tuantuan, so she should call him Uncle Nineteen.

It's just that there is a strange phenomenon in the clan. Most of the time, people are not commensurate by seniority, but only by power and status.

Those with low status, in order to show respect and curry favor, blatantly followed their sons and grandsons to call their juniors elders, and they called them loudly and affectionately.

Nineteenth Uncle stroked his beard in embarrassment, and said: "They are all elders, I am so embarrassed. But there must be a result, this matter..."

　There have been waves of various inspections this week, and I have been so busy, I will come to this update first, and then release it after it is coded.

　　Everyone, don't forget to cast all kinds of votes, there are really none, leaving a message is also a virtue, I love you all.
