"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!"
