2079 Sixth Uncle, You’re Too Extreme Instead, he readily admitted what he had done. “I did get someone to deal with Qiao Nian’s father. Firstly, I wanted to teach her a lesson. Who asked her to be so impudent in the Ji family last time? Secondly, I also have my own selfish motives. I think that the reason she has come to this point is related to the Ji family’s failure in her education! “Jiang Zongjin clearly has a good seedling in his hands and hasn’t taught her well, causing her to be as arrogant and lawless as she is now. That’s why I made a move. I wanted to teach him a lesson!” “Mm.” Ji Lingfeng did not say if he did it right or wrong. He only said, “Sixth Uncle, you went too far.” Such a calm sentence. Everyone’s expressions changed, and they subconsciously looked at Ji Lingfeng and Ji Hongyuan. It was rare for Ji Hongyuan to be so disrespectful in public. A hint of red appeared on Ji Hongyuan’s old face, and his breathing became heavier. His hands under the table were clenched into fists, but facing Ji Lingfeng, he actually concealed the dissatisfaction in his heart and only had a dark expression. “Patriarch, what do you plan to do with me?” Ji Lingfeng glanced at him indifferently, as if he felt a little regretful. He placed the teacup on the table and said slowly, “Sixth Uncle, you’re my elder and have worked hard for the Ji family for your entire life. As a junior, I don’t have a say in how we should deal with you. As the elder in charge of the family’s punishment hall, how do you think we should deal with what you’ve done recently?” Before Ji Hongyuan could say anything, he reminded indifferently, “Sixth Uncle, the Ji family’s secret recipe for black powder is still outside.” There was undoubtedly a double meaning to his words! The Ji family’s secret gunpowder formula and the genius of the Ji family’s direct line of descent were not in their control, and all of this was definitely related to Ji Hongyuan’s arrogance. While Ji Lingfeng was giving him face, he was also criticizing him! Ji Hongyuan opened his mouth, his old face looking a little dejected. He said, “I’m willing to be suspended for a year.” A year of suspension was nothing. The key was that after Ji Hongyuan was suspended this time, his status in the Ji family would decrease greatly. However, Ji Lingfeng smiled and looked at him with a pair of emotionless dark brown eyes. “Sixth Uncle, it’s time for you to rest well. How about this? You don’t have to worry about the punishment hall anymore. You can rest at home. How about that?” Ji Hongyuan was completely speechless. He sat in his seat in a daze for a long time. He had never expected Ji Lingfeng to punish him so severely. He had directly stripped him of all his power, indirectly expelled him from the main members of the Ji family, and asked him to go back and reflect on himself. He had only touched Jiang Zongjin. He was just a bumpkin not from the independent continent! Did he actually have to bear such serious consequences? Ji Hongyuan was about to speak up for himself, but then, his gaze met the coldness and dignity under the man’s brown eyes. He swallowed his words and leaned weakly back in his chair. His facial muscles twitched as he squeezed out, “I… accept my punishment.” Ji Lingfeng only glanced at him indifferently and then swept his gaze across the Ji family members in the living room. He smiled and asked casually, “What about you guys? Do you have any objections?” Under such circumstances, who dared to have any objections? Everyone shook their heads to show that they had no objections. Someone mustered his courage and asked him, “Patriarch, will Qiao Nian accept this outcome? What if she continues to pester us?” Ji Lingfeng did not speak. He only stood up and pushed his chair, saying softly, “The Ji family can’t lower their heads for anyone.”
