Chapter 538: Wei Wei’s Dominance Had Been Revealed

“This is also the most perfect strategy that we devised. After all, we could not possibly hand over the lives of ours and our families to a patriarch who does not have any achievements. Everyone tells me, is this not the truth.” The man holding the pipe stood up, turning to look at all the stewards.

There was an immediate response, “Steward Yu is right, in the entire Helian Clan, there are more than a hundred females, not to mention the males who are outstation. If there is no one able to take up the role of patriarch, who would protect the Helian Clan from trouble in the future?”

Helian Wei Wei listened to the people below echoing each other in agreement as her hand was toying with the jade ornament on her waist. She then said calmly, “Little Seventh, throw Steward Yu out.”

Little Seventh, who was biting on the crab that was in his arms, looked up and responded, “Yes.” His small body flew out and without even looking, he raised his arm, lifted Steward Yu and tossed him across his shoulder. It was like throwing some clutter away and a loud bang could be heard!

With his pipe still rolling on the ground, the man surnamed Yu was thrown out the door, hitting the door frame heavily!

Pfftt!

Fresh blood stained the ground.

The stewards were too late to stop it so they stood up in anger, “Eldest Young Lady, with your actions, do you intend to disobey the rules of the clan? Steward Yu had only said a little more than he should have, but Eldest Young Lady dealt with such harsh punishment! Truly unreasonable! You not having any achievements is something that is known to everyone, are we still not allowed to mention it!”

The stewards glanced at each other. They were hoping that Helian Wei Wei would lose her temper in their hearts.

Once she lost her temper, they would have even more of an excuse to dethrone her. Even though Elder Yun was not around anymore, the other three elders had sent messengers to remind them that the etiquette and customs of all the influential families must not be broken.

Once broken, they would personally go and reason with the Emperor.

Therefore, with the three elders backing them up, what else were they afraid of? If they did not overthrow Helian Wei Wei, someday the unlucky ones would be themselves!

The fact that she had not fully risen up yet must be used to their advantage to remove her!

Helian Wei Wei lifted her gaze and looked at the stewards who were talking heatedly among themselves. The corners of her lips curved up slightly. “Who says I do not have any achievements?”

Hearing this question, all the stewards were stunned, even the people who were talking fell speechless.

The air in the hall stiffened in an instance.

Everyone slowly turned to look at Helian Wei Wei.

“Da Xiong, read aloud to the stewards the imperial decree given down by the Retired Emperor after I returned to the Capital.” In contrast to the stewards who were on edge, Helian Wei Wei had been sitting casually on the wooden chair the whole time with her hand toying with the jade ornament on her waist. She was smiling faintly, as though she was in control of the entire situation.

“Yes.” Da Xiong stretched his left hand out, holding a golden imperial decree, “Under the command of the Retired Emperor himself, Helian Wei Wei had personally visited Fuping, with the pseudonym Wei Wei, had eradicated corrupt officials and solved the problem of the drought intellectually, thereby earning multiple achievements. With glory from this day forth, being able to enjoy the treatment of First Rank Minister!”

Wh-what!

“Wei Wei, Wei Wei!” The stewards stepped backward dispiritedly, falling back into their wooden chairs heavily.

Many of their facial expressions were starting to change, even the teacups in their hands were starting to shake as well.

How could she possibly be that Wei Wei!

Which meant, that Elder Yun was eradicated by... by her?!

The stewards shuddered from the bottom of their hearts while their pupils were shaking severely.

Since when did this little girl who has always been looked down upon by them, had firstly opened a world-renowned commercial firm, and then invited back the hidden army, and now... even Elder Yun had been pulled down by her!

What did she want!

What exactly did she want to do!

Helian Wei Wei stood up with a smile, “Looks like everybody has heard clearly, so now it’s my turn to speak. Steward Li!”

“I, I’m here.” Steward Li kneeled down, shivering.

Helian Wei Wei paced over to him. “When my grandfather was still alive, he treated you well, and yet, when Helian Guang Yao came out to fight for power, you were the first one who supported him!”

“I, I...” Steward Li could not even form proper words anymore.

Helian Wei Wei did not even intend to listen to what he had to say. With her long sleeves fluttering, she commanded, “Guards, take him away. Doesn’t he love to play with power and money? Let Steward Li have a taste of what it’s like to be pounded to death with silver coins!”

“Yes!” Da Xiong accepted the order with his gaze lowered.

Helian Wei Wei rubbed her hands. “Take Steward Yu too, the two of them are almost one and the same.”

“Yes!”

Of the eight big stewards, two of them had already been given the death penalty within such a short amount of time.

The remaining 33 stewards who were going with the flow, immediately scrambled to kneel on the ground, “Eldest Young Lady! Eldest Young Lady, please have mercy on us!”

“I’m afraid of killing you would dirty my hands.” Helian Wei Wei looked at them indifferently, “You all did not do anything awful toward Grandfather but you are all nasty cowards, your lives are not worth taking. From now on, hand in all of your estates, and leave the Capital, don’t let me see any of you again! I will not take your lives this time, but that doesn’t mean that I will not kill you if I see you again. Get off!”

The 33 stewards exchanged glances with one another.

From the aspect of martial, Eldest Young Lady already had the hidden army. Although they had never seen the hidden army in action, the power and prestige of the hidden army during those years were definitely not alarmist talk. So, on this matter, they had already lost.

From the cultural aspect, ah, the pseudonym ‘Wei Wei’ already stated that they had lost a long time ago.

Thinking of this, they did not dare to hesitate any longer and left the General’s residence immediately.

Helian Wei Wei looked at the six remaining stewards who were trembling with fear. She then lifted her thin lips and smiled, “Back then, you betrayed Grandfather and sought refuge with Elder Yun, helping Helian Guang Yao to gain the throne. Now you see that I have grown to be what I am today, are you thinking of how I would deal with you?”

“Eldest Young Lady, you can’t...”

Slap!

Helian Wei Wei slapped him in the face; her eyes were cold. “What I can’t do? Since I could displace the Empress, Prime Minister Su, eliminate Helian Guang Yao and even send Elder Yun to prison, naturally I can deal with all of you too! Da Xiong, take them all away, the Helian Clan does not need stewards like these who forget their morality when they see the money.”

“Eldest Young Lady! Eldest Young Lady!” One of the stewards held on to the hem of Helian Wei Wei’s pants, “I, I have something to say!”

Helian Wei Wei looked down at him condescendingly. “You have something to say? What is it?”

“The family property of the Helian Clan is extremely extensive, if Eldest Young Lady has us all killed, there will be no one left to manage the Helian Clan, how could the clan be glorified then? Is Eldest Young Lady really going to eradicate every last one of us just because of your selfish desire to take revenge?!”

Helian Wei Wei reached out and seized the collar of his shirt. “During the time when my mother was severely ill, didn’t all of you have pressed on at every stage? Not only did you all give Helian Guang Yao the supreme authority, but you all have even helped the Su family to slander my mother, letting her die in disgrace! Do you really think that without any of you, I, Helian Wei Wei, am unable to manage the General’s residence?”
