Chapter 691: Chapter 693: Treatnt (Part 7)
Yao Jun opened his eyes, and his gaze fell sharply onto Yao Lin.
“My good son, over the years you have hidden too many things from . If it weren’t for my serious illness, having reached a state where I could not speak or was even unconscious, I fear you would not have confessed so many matters to .”
With a look of grief in his eyes, he said resentfully, “The son I was most proud of was actually murdered by him! To prevent others from usurping his position as Family Head, he even resorted to fratricide. If only the eldest son was not so cowardly, and his wife so inept, it would have been impossible for him to let the eldest survive, but the eldest had a good daughter. Moreover, after I had passed on the power of the Family Head to Qingqing, he once again initiated an attempt on her life! Perhaps if Qingqing was not a girl, she wouldn’t have been able to live this many years.”
It was precisely because she was a woman, and Yao Lin thought her harmless, that he spared her life…
Like a bolt from the blue, everyone surrounding the Family Head’s bedside was shocked by his words. Yao Lin, whom they had always revered, had actually committed such an unforgivable cri?
If the Third Master were still alive, they would never have supported him. It was precisely because the Third Master was deceased, and the eldest was weak, and they did not wish to see the Yao Family fall into the hands of outsiders, that they desired to support the Second Master in taking that position.
Who could have guessed that on his hands was the blood of his own brother!
If they had known this, even if it ant supporting Yao Yunqing, they would not have chosen soone who had killed his own brother and now wished to murder his niece!
To place the Yao Family in the hands of such a man? Could it truly prosper for long?
Yao Yunqing fell silent.
She had once heard her father ntion that she had an uncle, an uncle who was extraordinary and highly gifted, greatly cherished by Grandpa. Yet, at the age of eighteen, he died in an accident, without marrying or leaving any descendants, becoming Grandpa’s greatest sorrow and regret.
But what pained Grandpa even more was that the one who killed his youngest son was actually his second son!
Generally speaking, fratricide typically occurs among brothers of different mothers, but the three of them were indeed full siblings!
How heart-wrenching was this for Grandpa?
“Dad, I really know I was wrong, please spare ,” Yao Lin pleaded, his face deathly pale as he kowtowed forcefully. His forehead quickly turned bruise-blue, and blood began to trickle down, yet he did not stop.
Yao Jun closed his eyes once again, his heart hardened, and he declared, “Yao Lin killed his own blood brother and does not deserve to be part of the Yao Family, remove his na from the ancestral hall, and let him be put to death by lingchi!”
With that sentence, it seed as if all his strength had been drained, and his entire body lay down.
If it were his usual misbehavior, that might be one thing, but he would never allow the descendants of the Yao Family to fight amongst themselves. Now that he had injured his own brother, he must go to the Netherworld to apologize!
“Dad!”
The words, ‘put to death by lingchi,’ stabbed deeply into his heart, and Yao Lin cried out in agony, “Dad, I don’t want to die, I really don’t want to die, please let go. I realize my mistake. I will burn incense and paper for Third Brother, and I will visit him every Qingming Festival. I promise I won’t make the sa mistakes again. Dad, please spare .”
Yao Jun’s body shook, but in the end, he remained unmoved.
He had once given him a chance, but he had never cherished it. Now he had made such a grievous mistake, if he were to tolerate him further, who knows how many innocents would end up dead at the hands of this man…
