Rebirth of the Strongest Empress

Panda Novel

“The Great Elder is still powerful and managed to escape, but rest assured Young Lady Ye. We will be on guard here tonight. As long as the Great Elder returns, we will definitely take his life,” the leader of the group said.

Looking at the miserable situation in the courtyard, Ye Qingtang, however, shook her head and replied, “You all have already helped me to vent my anger. Thank you for the trouble today.” Then, she handed the remaining twenty thousand to the four men in black.

“It’s not early anymore, you all can return. I, Ye Qingtang, will remember this favor received from the Qin Luo Pavilion. As for the Great Elder, I will deal with him subsequently.”

It would be best if she could use the four men to get rid of the Great Elder. However, if that was not possible, Ye Qingtang did not dare to let the four of them stay on the Ye residence any longer as it would not be worth it should the Great Elder find an opportunity to push the responsibility of hiring assassins onto her.

Furthermore, if the four men were here, it would not be possible for the Great Elder to return to the Ye residence.

As the time the four men spent on the residence increased, troubles would be created instead.

Upon receiving the gold and hearing Ye Qingtang’s words, the four men naturally did not have any intention to stay any longer. They thanked Ye Qingtang immediately and flew away.

When the four men from the Qin Luo Pavilion left, Ye Qingtang’s eyes turned cold as she looked at the corpses that filled the courtyard.

These guards were originally servants of the Ye family and should be loyal to Ye Ling. Yet, they turned their backs on the family master and became the underlings of the Great Elder. Today, the Great Elder intentionally transferred the guards away from her father’s courtyard to allow the assassins from the Qin Luo Pavilion to kill Ye Ling.

Ye Qingtang was not the slightest saddened over the death of the group of unfaithful guards.

“Father, it’s not early anymore, and we still have to fetch second uncle tomorrow. You should return early and rest,” Ye Qingtang said with a smile. From the start, she had not expected the four men from the Qin Luo Pavilion to be able to kill the Great Elder since he was skilled and, thus, not an opponent that could be easily dealt with.

However, after the incident today, the Great Elder may not have the opportunity to harm Ye Ling anymore. With the Second Elder ending his seclusion tomorrow, she wanted to see how the Great Elder was going to start a commotion!

Only until late night when the Great Elder finally received news of the four assassins’ departure from the Ye residence, the Great Elder returned gloomily.

Up until then, he still could not understand why the Qin Luo Pavilion’s assassins he hired to kill Ye Ling suddenly turned to kill himself. If not for the fact that he was powerful enough, he would have died in their hands.

The more he wondered, the stranger it became. Not knowing the cause of the change, he could only put down the matter temporarily and prepare to further investigate it in the days to come.

Now that the Qin Luo Pavilion went against the agreement, Ye Ling could not be killed, and as such, the Great Elder would not be able to push any blame onto the Second Elder.

When he thought of that, the Great Elder could not help but frown. However, looking at the disorderly mess in his courtyard, he remembered something.

Assassinating the family master was a crime punishable by death, and assassinating the Great Elder of a family clan was similarly a crime punishable by death!

Ye Ling had been poisoned, and his days were numbered. Even if he did not die today, he would not have many days left. The real trouble was the Second Elder.

He would definitely not let the Second Elder and Ye Ling join hands.

The Ye family was sooner or later his!

…

The second morning, Ye Qingtang woke up, changed her clothes, and then headed for Ye Ling’s courtyard to find him and fetch the Second Elder together.

But when Ye Qingtang entered Ye Ling’s courtyard, he was nowhere to be found. She immediately asked the servants for Ye Ling’s location.

Only then did she realise…

The Great Elder actually pushed forward the time to fetch the Second Elder. After receiving the news, Ye Ling did not react much, but he did not want to wake Ye Qingtang, who was still sleeping. Thus, he headed for where the Second Elder was in seclusion in along with the Great Elder ahead of time.
