Chapter 1984: Chapter 1984: How Dare He Bear the Sin of Matricide?!

"Mother, the power to head the family has always been in your hands, and it will not fall into Mianyi’s grasp. You needn’t worry about it,"

Old Madam Yue: "..."

Is that what she intended to say?

In Yue Chong’s view, after all she had said, was it merely to ensure the power to head the family did not fall into Luo Mianyi’s favorable position?

"Yue Chong, I think you’re really... too foolish!"

She shook her head helplessly.

In her heart, she couldn’t help thinking that if only Chushui were older, she would have asked the clan elders to decide right now, and given the position of family head directly to Chushui, without the need to appoint any Young Master!

"Let me tell you this, if you insist on opposing the Luo Family for the sake of Luo Mianyi, our Yue Clan will no longer have a foothold in Yunxia City. Do you understand?"

"Why?"

Yue Chong naturally did not understand and naively questioned his mother.

If it truly came down to strength, their Yue Clan was definitely no lesser than the Luo Family. How could it be that they had no chance of victory?

"Because the Luo Clan has someone supporting them, and we, relying on the kind of person Luo Mianyi is and her bad reputation in Yunxia City, will have no one willing to help you!"

Old Madam Yue directly said to her son.

"Isn’t there still you, Mother?" Yue Chong thought of turning to his own mother for support.

Luo Mianyi’s reputation might be tarnished, but his mother was well-acquainted with the matriarchs of other prominent families. With his mother’s connections, the Yue Clan could surely rest easy in Yunxia City.

"Heh."

Upon hearing her son’s words, Old Madam Yue only let out a cold chuckle.

"To expect me to sell favors for the sake of that woman Luo Mianyi, you can forget about it. How about this, Yue Chong, you can come over here and strike me with your palm, so I can go to the netherworld and meet your father. How about that?"

She raised her hand, pointing at her own chest, and made the suggestion to Yue Chong.

At her words, Yue Chong immediately stood up from his chair, his face turning deathly pale with fright.

"Mother, your words are too harsh."

He hurriedly performed a deep bow to his mother, nearly kneeling down.

"Your son misspoke, I beg for your forgiveness, Mother. As for the position of Young Master of the Yue Clan, let Mother decide. I will not interfere anymore."

Where would he still dare to say anything? He knew all too well that the Yue Clan’s smooth sailing in Yunxia City over the years was not because of his good leadership as the head of the family, but because of the Old Madam’s support for the Yue Clan.

How could he dare to commit such an outrageous act against the Old Madam?

Hearing Yue Chong’s words, Old Madam Yue let out a light sigh and shook her head.

"You may leave. Tomorrow, I will invite some clan elders over to discuss and finalize the appointment of Chushui as the Young Master. After the ceremony is completed, it will prevent certain individuals from scheming in the shadows,"

she said.

"Yes, Mother. Your son will take his leave."

Yue Chong looked up at his mother, then backed away to leave.

Only when he stepped outside Old Madam Yue’s courtyard did he move his body and realize that his back was soaked with cold sweat.

Turning around, he glanced at the courtyard once more and chuckled bitterly to himself. Why bother coming to his mother’s place and suffering this torment?

He didn’t even account for the scolding he received, and nearly scared himself to death.

The sin of matricide? How dare he ever assume such a thing!

...

While Yue Chong was almost scared to death by Old Madam Yue and hurriedly left, on Luo Mianyi’s side, the nanny had already found an assassin.
