Instead, he readily admitted what he had done: "I did ask someone to deal with Qiao Nian's father. First, I wanted to teach her a lesson because she was so unruly at the Ji family last time. Second, I also had selfish motives. I think the reason she has come to this point and has such an ugly relationship with the Ji family is also related to the failure of the Jiang family's education!"
"Jiang Zongjin obviously had a good seedling in his hands, but he didn't educate her well, so she became as arrogant and lawless as she is now. That's why I took action to teach her a lesson!"
"Yeah." Ji Lingfeng didn't say whether he was right or wrong, he just said: "Sixth Uncle, your hand is too long."
Such a simple sentence.
Everyone in the Ji family changed their expressions and subconsciously looked at Ji Lingfeng and Ji Hongyuan.
Ji Hongyuan was rarely treated so humiliatingly in public. A blush appeared on his old face, his breathing became heavier, and his hands under the table were clenched into fists. But facing Ji Lingfeng, he did not dare to show his dissatisfaction in his heart. He just kept a gloomy face and said nothing.
"What is the Patriarch going to do with me?"
Ji Lingfeng glanced at him indifferently, as if he felt a little sorry. He put the teacup in his hand on the table and said slowly, "Sixth Uncle, you are my elder and have devoted your whole life to the Ji family. I, a junior, cannot say anything about you. As the elder in charge of the family's punishment hall, how do you think you should deal with what you have done during this period?"
"..." Ji Hongyuan hasn't spoken yet.
He reminded him indifferently, "Sixth Uncle, the Ji family's secret recipe for black gunpowder is still out there."
He undoubtedly meant it by a double entendre!
The Ji family's secret recipe for black gunpowder and the genius of the Ji family's direct lineage were all lost outside, and all of this was closely related to Ji Hongyuan's arrogance.
While Ji Lingfeng gave him enough face, he was also reminding him!
Ji Hongyuan opened his mouth, his old face looked a little depressed, and said, "I am willing to be grounded for a year."
One year of house arrest is nothing. The key point is that after this house arrest, Ji Hongyuan's status in the Ji family will drop significantly.
Ji Lingfeng smiled, and looked at him with a pair of dark brown eyes, showing no emotion: "Sixth Uncle, it's time for you to have a good rest. How about this, you don't have to worry about the Punishment Hall anymore, you just stay at home and take good care of your health?"
Ji Hongyuan was completely speechless now.
He sat there in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
He never thought that the punishment Ji Lingfeng gave him would be so severe. He directly deprived him of all the power in his hands, expelled him from the main members of the Ji family in disguise, and asked him to go back and reflect on himself.
He just touched Jiang Zongjin.
He's just a bumpkin from an independent state!
Do we have to bear such serious consequences
Ji Hongyuan was about to open his mouth to say a few words for himself, but his eyes met the coldness and majesty deep in the man's brown pupils.
He swallowed all the words in his mind and leaned back on the chair weakly. His facial muscles twitched as he squeezed out a sentence: "I accept the punishment."
Ji Lingfeng only glanced at him indifferently, then glanced at the Ji family members in the reception room, smiled slightly, and asked casually: "What about you, do you have any opinions?"
In this situation, who dares to object
Everyone shook their heads to indicate that they had no objection.
One person plucked up the courage to ask him, "Chief, will Qiao Nian accept our result? What if she continues to pester us?"
