Zuo Lengyue's intervention in this matter wasn't aboveboard because she didn't have the need and authority to meddle in it.
After all, this was an internal matter of the Seven Star Radiance. Even if Zuo Lengyue was the Empress, the head of the Three Emperors, she had no reason to meddle in other people's "family matters."
It was precisely because of this that no matter how excessive the actions of the six great clans were, Zuo Lengyue could only watch coldly from the sidelines and give some support to the Jiang Family behind the scenes.
When she found out about this matter, it was already too late. If she had known earlier, perhaps with Zuo Lengyue's power, she could have helped the Jiang Family avoid a disaster.
The Jiang Family's disaster was irreversible. Zuo Lengyue could only try her best to protect Jiang Zixue so that she wouldn't feel so guilty.
Throughout the entire process, the six great clans knew that Zuo Lengyue had intervened, but no one dared to say anything because Zuo Lengyue dealt with this matter in a low-key manner. If she didn't say anything, no one would dare to say anything first.
This was a method that Zuo Lengyue had no other choice. In order to stand her ground, she had to cast herself aside.
Even when Jiang Zixue was brought back to Hua Xia, Zuo Lengyue only met her once in order to avoid some unnecessary quarrels.
She handed Jiang Zixue over to Xu Yun because if she brought Jiang Zixue with her, she wouldn't be able to explain anything.
In that case, she would officially be meddling in this matter. In that case, the six great clans would be able to annoy her with a war of words.
As long as Zuo Lengyue didn't admit it and didn't make things so obvious, the six great clans would be very careful in everything they did. Zuo Lengyue could only do this to help Jiang Zixue.
Until now, Jiang Zixue hadn't really been exposed in front of the six great clans because of Zuo Lengyue.
After the appearance of the Five War Gods and Jiang Zixue's disappearance, all of these indicated that Zuo Lengyue was involved in this matter.
However, indications were only indications. Without absolute evidence, no one could prove anything.
If Jiang Zixue didn't get rid of her, the mission of the six great clans to "eliminate the root of the problem" would be tantamount to meaningless!
Therefore, to "cut the weeds and dig up the roots", one had to completely cut the weeds and dig up the roots completely!
Jiang Zixue was the root!
If not the intervention of Zuo Lengyue and the appearance of the five Gods of War, it was believed that all the members of the six major clans would be willing to stand out to be the one to "cut the weeds and dig out the roots". Because only those who cut the weeds and dig out the roots would gain more respect.
However, Zuo Lengyue had intervened. Although no one had pointed it out, who would be willing to take the risk to provoke the empress?
In the end, the plan to eliminate the root of the problem was reduced to drawing lots.
Unfortunately, the Tao Family's luck was too good, and they managed to grab hold of such a 'good opportunity'.
Obviously, whether to eliminate the source of trouble or not would still determine which of the six major clans would have a higher status and whose status would not be easily shaken by others.
However, danger also coexisted. No one knew the consequences, and no one knew what they would have to face.
In the end, the Tao Family didn't let the man come out because they knew in their hearts that this kind of thing still needed a woman to do it.
Because a woman's heart was more meticulous, and more importantly … if something happened, the Tao Family would lose a woman, not a man.
This point was very important for a major clan that valued males over females.
It was imaginable how complicated Tao Yinan's feelings were when she came out to do this. She didn't even know if the people in her clan valued her or if they only treated her as a chess piece that could be abandoned.
With so many emotions, and with things not going smoothly, Tao Yinan naturally wanted to explode.
On the day of her 36th birthday, she was like a person who had been abandoned and forgotten by her clan.
At this time, no one would stand by her side to help her. Everyone was thinking about the consequences if they offended Zuo Lengyue because of this matter.
All kinds of emotions made this 36-year-old woman somewhat haggard.
The moment she accepted this matter, she absent-mindedly felt that she was no longer the person who was described as forever young like a 20-year-old woman.
Tao Yinan's mind was in a mess. After coming to Hua Xia, she had been very careful in everything, fearing that she would make a mistake if she did something wrong.
Perhaps only she knew how terrible this feeling was.
The two men just now had followed her for many years. She had always been nice to them. It could be said that she had hardly lost her temper with them.
But this time, she couldn't control her emotions at all. She couldn't control the volcanic anger at all.
These two men were the only men who could help her in Hua Xia. If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't control her emotions, she wouldn't easily lose her temper with them.
Now Tao Yinan, who had calmed down, regretted it a little. Anyway, without these two men's efforts, she couldn't even know that Jiang Zixue had been to Qingdao.
Although she had lost the clue, it wouldn't be difficult for her to regain the initiative if she could deal with the matter more simply.
Thinking of this, Tao Yinan shook her head helplessly.
If the only two men who could help her left also stayed away from her because of her hatred, she would be really isolated and helpless.
The red wine in the glass seemed to have completely lost its effect on her at this moment. No matter how many glasses she drank, she couldn't relieve the depression in her heart.
…
The two men who left Tao Yinan were also a little depressed.
The Tao Family was clearly their main family. For so many years, they had never complained about working for the Tao Family, and the Tao Family had never mistreated them either.
In the final encirclement of the Jiang Family, they were the first to bear the brunt and worked together to defeat the Jiang Family's last resistance.
Even after the five war gods intervened, they didn't flee. For this, they both suffered different degrees of internal injuries.
One of them was called Tao Ruhu, and the other was called Tao Tianyi. They had been taken in by the Tao Clan when they were in dire straits, so the Tao Clan had saved their lives. Thus, they were given new identities and new names.
No matter where they were, their strength would definitely be at the top. They both had the strength of a Level Eight or even a Level Nine Martial Scholar.
No one knew about their past, and no one knew what their previous identities were. Perhaps only the Tao Family knew.
It was just that they had been working for the Tao Family for more than ten years. They were the absolute core talents that the Tao Family had left behind to expand their strength.
On the first day they entered the Tao Family, they were very clear that the Seven Star Radiance had already been broken. They were left behind to fight against the Jiang Family.
Moreover, these six great families were constantly increasing their strength, and everyone was scheming against each other.
Before they were able to get rid of the Jiang Clan, they had already started to plan for their own future. After getting rid of the Jiang Clan, how to ensure their own clan's status was a problem that the other six clans had been considering for many years.
If they hadn't been thinking about this problem, they would have already made a move against the Jiang Family ten years ago.
Why did they wait so bitterly until now? It was because they were all increasing their strength and making plans for after eliminating the Jiang Family.
Only when all the six great families felt that it was about time would the elimination of the Jiang Family truly begin.
It was also at that time that the new scheming of the six great families officially began.
All of them were the capital of the Tao Family. They were all preparations for the Tao Family to get the biggest share of the pie among the six great families.
They were all clear about this. A life-saving grace was enough for them to wholeheartedly repay the Tao Family and do everything that the Tao Family asked them to do.
