The people around them frowned when they saw that it was Xia Houshuo who spoke.
Xia Houshuo is a descendant of Lei Jinghou's lineage, ranking ninth.
However, when Lei Jinghou was still around, the status of their lineage was still quite high. But with the death of Lei Jinghou, this noble status naturally disappeared.
At this moment, they were targeting Lei Jinghou's direct lineage, and when they saw Xia Houshuo dare to intervene at this time, they all scolded.
Xia Houshuo said loudly: "Master Hou still has an old friend, an existence that none of you can afford to offend. You will have to pay the price for everything you have done today!"
"Does Hou Ye have any old friends? Those old people heard that Hou Ye died, and no one came to visit him, which shows that the world is cold. If our Xiahou family doesn't improve their strength quickly, then the future will definitely be quite miserable!"
Xia Houyan vowed: "So, hurry up and hand over Lord Hou's inheritance, and improve the strength of our Xiahou family is the most important thing!"
Hearing Xia Houyan's words, other elders responded one after another.
In their eyes, there was a flash of greed that could not be concealed.
The majestic marquis, now that he is dead, how much inheritance can he leave behind?
"Xiao Jiu, step back first!" Mrs. Xiahou said anxiously.
Although she was also angry at these elders' actions of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, their lineage was not very populated after all, and they could not resist the aggressiveness of the collateral lineage.
Xia Houshuo said: "Ma'am, it's okay. That old friend of Lord Hou has arrived here!"
The old man of Lord Hou?
For a moment, everyone looked around.
Xia Houshuo sneered and said, "You were just pushed back, don't you know what to do? If you dare to step forward, I'm afraid you won't even be able to save your life!"
Everyone in the entire imperial capital knew Lu Yu's methods.
Kill decisively, revenge with revenge!
Many people trembled in their hearts when they heard Lu Yu's name.
"I laughed so hard! Put on airs, let him come out and let me see!" an elder sneered.
Hearing the elder's ridicule, Xia Houshuo immediately became angry.
He turned around and looked behind him, but suddenly froze in place.
I saw Lu Yu, who was still standing behind him just now, shot all these elders back.
However, when Xia Houshuo turned around, Lu Yu disappeared!
"Where did that person go?" Xia Houshuo panicked.
The reason why he has the courage to stand up is because Lu Yu is standing behind him.
But now, Lu Yu suddenly disappeared, Xia Houshuo didn't have the confidence to confront the elders and head of the branch family in front of him.
"Forget it, Xiao Jiu, do you think you can fool the seniors present with these small tricks?"
"Today, we are all thinking about the family!"
Several elders spoke uprightly.
Suddenly, a servant broke in from the outer courtyard and whispered something into Xia Houyan's ear.
Xia Houyan's face suddenly showed a look of joy, and he laughed loudly: "Ma'am, it's useless for you to object now. I have already found a backer for the family, and he has arrived now!"
What!
Mrs. Xiahou was shocked in her heart, and angrily scolded: "You guys are colluding with outsiders!"
"What is collusion with outsiders? If our Xiahou family wants to gain a foothold in the imperial capital, we must have a strong backer. We are acting according to the family's strategy!"
"You are a woman, it's normal not to understand these things! Now is a critical moment that concerns my Xiahou family and whether it will prosper in the future, so stop meddling in other people's business here."
