You Cannot Afford To Offend My Woman

Chapter 1284 (Handshake)

Among the courtiers, no one dared to answer this question; it was clearly a death trap, and whoever answered would meet their demise. Commonly known as taking the blame.

”How come no one is speaking?” Donghuang Ji Shang coldly shouted, creating an atmosphere of tension throughout the entire hall.

However, no matter how tense it became, no one dared to speak, as if offending anyone would be unbearable.

”Who among you holds the highest official position?!” Donghuang Ji Shang angrily questioned, as if trying to arouse the fear within their hearts.

All eyes turned towards Shan Junren. The latter remained calm on the surface, but inside, he was thinking, ʼDoes having a high official position mean Iʼll have to take the blame?ʼ

”You, come forward. Why did this situation occur? You are supposed to defend the dignity of the royal family, yet you let someone from an outside surname sit on this throne. Do you have any dignity left?” Donghuang Ji Shang questioned with anger.

Shan Junren respectfully replied, ”Ancestor, this matter is complicated.”

”Make it short,” Donghuang Ji Shang said indifferently.

”Itʼs because of Prince Ye.”

”Prince Ye? Whatʼs his full name?” Donghuang Ji Shang was puzzled. Who was this Prince Ye? It didnʼt sound very promising.

Shan Junren didnʼt dare to lie at this moment. Lying and seeking death were essentially the same thing now.

”Ye Hua,” Shan Junren said solemnly. Referring to Prince Ye in this way felt a bit disrespectful.

However, these two words exploded in Donghuang Ji Shangʼs mind.

Ye Hua!

Wasnʼt that the man?

Everyone saw the ancestorʼs expression change instantly. The speed of this change was even faster than that of a woman, and it carried a hint of terrifying fierceness.

Why would there be a trace of fear?

Everyone was a bit puzzled.

”Is it him? That tall and handsome Ye Hua? Always with a stern face? Itʼs like everyone owes him money, acting all high and mighty?” Donghuang Ji Shang described Ye Hua in a way that revealed his essence.

The courtiers never expected their ancestor to evaluate Prince Ye in such a manner. He truly captured the essence of Prince Ye.

Indeed, that was Prince Ye, no doubt about it.

”Ancestor, what youʼre describing should be Prince Ye Hua,” Shan Junren respectfully confirmed, still not understanding the reason behind it.

Donghuang Ji Shang was stunned. Even Donghuang Fei and Donghuang Qingrou in the crowd were shocked.

Can things be so coincidental? How is it possible to encounter this person???

Donghuang Ji Shang felt so frustrated inside. If possible, he didnʼt want to ask just now, and now that he asked, he didnʼt want to know anymore.

Why does fate torment people like this...

Donghuang Ji Shang suddenly stood up and said, ”Tell me... where did that Empress go yesterday?”

”Ye Yuanqing is still at home, in the Ye family...”

Donghuang Ji Shang instantly disappeared from his original position. His urgent manner was as if his wife was giving birth at home, and he couldnʼt afford to delay. ꞦãƝő𝐛Ęs̩

Of course, there was no room for negligence. Dealing with such a ruthless and explosive man, especially if he was a member of the Ye family, would be troublesome. Toppling even the Temple Master, what about himself?

On the streets of Spirit City, Donghuang Ji Shang began to inquire with passersby about the location of the Ye family and quickly rushed there.

This matter couldnʼt be handled carelessly. He had to invite that woman—no, invite the Empress to take her position.

Letʼs just pretend that nothing happened yesterday. Can you agree to that?

Donghuang Ji Shang arrived at the entrance of the Ye family and knocked on the door.

However, in other places, Donghuang Ji Shang wouldnʼt do such a thing. When did he ever knock on a door? Typically, he just pushed it open.

But under the current circumstances, dare he? Obviously not. These were ancestors... they were his ancestors.

Soon, a house servant opened the door.

”Who is it?” The house servant, unaware of the situation, was very arrogant. After all, the Ye family was different now. Did they not have royal relatives?

If it were in the past, Donghuang Ji Shang wouldnʼt care about such arrogance. But now, things are different.

”Excuse me, could you announce that Donghuang Ji Shang has come to visit?” Donghuang Ji Shang slightly bowed, appearing very pleasing.

However, the house servant raised his palm as if signalling something you should understand.

Donghuang Ji Shang, inexperienced in the ways of the world, didnʼt immediately grasp it and thought...

Shaking hands would be the best way to give him face.

”Are you crazy? Canʼt you understand this?” Suppressing the anger in his heart, Donghuang Ji Shang felt an intense desire to kill this humble person! If possible, he really wanted to eliminate him!

Now Donghuang Ji Shang understood. Carrying money doesnʼt signify dominance; the truly powerful carry treasures.

So, Donghuang Ji Shang handed over a bead. The house servant looked at it, shook his head, and casually said, ”Not bad, you can go in.”

”Thank you, young man.” Donghuang Ji Shang thought to himself; this young man was truly troublesome.

The house servant sneered, clearly a man who hadnʼt seen much of the world. He had the audacity to come to the back door and knock, even foolishly offering a treasure. Was this guy insane, or just plain lucky?

The Ye family was quite large, and Donghuang Ji Shang, in order to find the Empress, refrained from speaking loudly or asking indiscriminately.

Why is it that whenever you ask a question, people come asking for things and treasures? You give them, expecting them to speak the truth, and still end up with falsehoods.

ʼIʼve never seen such deceitful people; everyone here is a pain in the neck!ʼ

ʼEveryone seems to be against me, itʼs downright malicious.ʼ

Lost and frustrated, Donghuang Ji Shang found a place to sit and calm himself down. ʼDonʼt get angry; just level this place!ʼ

Suddenly, footsteps approached, and Donghuang Ji Shang said directly, ”Donʼt come asking me for things; I donʼt have any treasures.”

”Great Ancestor?!” Ye Chen exclaimed. He had seen him at the court yesterday, so he recognized him.

This person had driven him and his sister out yesterday. Why was he here today? What was the meaning of this?

”Who are you?” Donghuang Ji Shang didnʼt have any impression of this young man.

”Iʼm Ye Chen, Ye Yuanqing is my sister.”

”What! Youʼre Ye Chen! Take me to see your sister, hurry! Itʼs urgent!”

In Ye Chenʼs eyes, this ancestor seemed quite refined. Why was he so impatient and lacked composure? Why is it so urgent to see his sister? What was going on?

But considering the current situation, he could only take him to meet his sister. Perhaps there was still a chance for a turn of events.

Ye Chen didnʼt say much and directly led Donghuang Ji Shang to find his sister.

Ye Yuanqing was anxiously awaiting her big brotherʼs arrival so they could reclaim the throne. However, at the door, two figures suddenly appeared. Ye Yuanqing was stunned because one of them was Donghuang Ji Shang, the man who had driven her off the stage just yesterday.
