Chapter 150 The Frail Youheng's Heart Aches for a Long Time

Dai Youheng inwardly scoffed, "Just as I thought," but his face instantly erupted with even more intense rage, as if he had been completely ignited: "Dai Hao! How dare you slander and frame Princess Jiujiu!"

He called out the name in anger, his voice trembling. He seemed to be impulsively and mindlessly shouting out the name he had been waiting for, but in reality, he was deliberately making sure that the ears hidden in the dark could hear it clearly.

He knew that Xu Jiujiu must have sent someone to secretly follow him.

"Dai Hao, it seems your son is completely unyielding and stubborn. In that case, why not subdue him first, lock him up and let him calm down and reflect on his actions!" A cold and authoritative female voice suddenly came from the doorway.

A woman slowly walked into the mourning hall. She wore a tight black leather outfit that accentuated her hot and alluring figure. Her face was beautiful, but she also had a sharp and cold aura that was very intimidating. She was the typical woman of the Zhu family. Dai Youheng recognized her. She was Zhu Man's older sister and the current head of the Zhu family, Zhu Shu.

Not every generation saw a daughter from the Zhu family and a son from the Dai family paired up perfectly.

For example, in this generation, there was only one eligible girl in the Zhu family, Zhu Lu. After she became engaged to Dai Huabin, other girls like Dai Yueheng, Dai Youheng, and Dai Luoli had no other Zhu family women to marry, and instead gained the freedom to choose their own partners.

In the previous generation, Dai Hao alone corresponded to the two Zhu sisters. The younger sister, Zhu Man, married Dai Hao, while the older sister, Zhu Shu, with even greater talent and strength, inherited the position of clan leader. Her soul power cultivation was at the same peak level of eighty-nine as Dai Hao's. Even more troublesome was that Dai Hao and both sisters could unleash incredibly powerful martial soul fusion techniques.

"Hao." Zhu Shu looked at Dai Hao, the coldness in her eyes melting slightly, replaced by a hint of barely perceptible tenderness. "Let him calm down first, then we'll investigate the truth carefully, shall we?"

That's right, not only the younger sister, but the older sister also liked Dai Hao. Not marrying Dai Hao was her lifelong regret.

Dai Youheng couldn't help but secretly complain, "Dai Hao must have been a protagonist in a wish-fulfillment novel when he was young, so why are so many people in love with him?"

No way, he'll definitely have more wives than he does in the future!

Dai Hao took a deep breath and nodded, "Okay!" Now that things have come to this, we must first control the situation.

Seeing that the two men were locking onto him and about to attack, a cold snort, as sharp as ice, suddenly exploded in the mourning hall, "Hmph! What a White Tiger Duke's Mansion! So unjust and biased, so easily swayed by others, it truly broadens my horizons!"

The figure of Nebula Douluo Manyi appeared silently beside Dai Youheng like a ghost, and a faint pressure of a titled Douluo spread out, breaking the balance of the confrontation of soul power in the arena.

She was secretly alarmed. Fortunately, the princess had the foresight to do so; otherwise, how could she have known that Dai Hao would dare to throw such a vicious accusation at the royal family!

"Your Majesty Nebula!" Dai Hao's face darkened. "This is a matter for my Dai family. Are you trying to interfere in the internal affairs of my Duke's mansion?"

"So what if it is?" Manyi stood her ground, her gray hair moving without wind. "I am here on Her Highness the Princess's orders to protect Young Master Youheng. Young Master, it seems this mansion is no longer safe for you. Why don't you come back to the palace with me?"

"

"Fine!" Dai Youheng said without hesitation, his gaze sweeping across Dai Hao and Zhu Shu's faces like knives. "Dai Hao! Zhu Shu! You just wait! I, Dai Youheng, will avenge my mother and brother!"

At this moment, no matter how unruly he is, he has the moral high ground of being a "victim in grief and indignation".

Dai Hao frowned, looking at the defiant Man Yi, knowing he would find it impossible to keep Dai Youheng today. To openly break ties with a Title Douluo at this moment was unwise. He suppressed his anger, trying to salvage the situation, "Youheng, I'll give you a few days to calm down and think things through. Once you've made up your mind, the Duke's mansion doors are always open for you!"

In any case, Dai Youheng is clearly the victim in this matter.

"Hmph!" Dai Youheng responded with a cold sneer, turned around without hesitation, and followed Manyi away from the mourning hall that had "broken his heart".

Inside the palace, Manyi recounted everything that had happened at the Duke's mansion, especially Dai Hao's insinuations pointing to the royal family, for a long time.

"How dare he slander my royal family like this?" Xu Jiujiu's pretty face turned frosty upon hearing this, and she flew into a rage. She strode quickly to Dai Youheng, who had been bowing his head, shrouded in grief and silence. Her tone was urgent and earnest, "Youheng! Believe me, I have never hurt Aunt Bai and Luo Li. They are your closest relatives. How could I do such a thing? Do you believe me?"

Just then, Dai Youheng suddenly raised his head, his still-red eyes filled with pain and dependence. He suddenly reached out and pulled Xu Jiujiu into a tight embrace!

Xu Jiujiu's body stiffened abruptly, completely caught off guard. She was a noble imperial princess; how could she have ever been embraced so abruptly by a man?

However, Dai Youheng's next words made her forget to push him away. His voice was deep and hoarse, filled with an unprecedented vulnerability and dependence, completely different from his usual confident or clingy demeanor.

"Of course I believe you, how could I not? This was clearly the Zhu family's doing, Dai Hao's favoritism, how could I possibly suspect you? Jiu Jiu!" He buried his head in her neck, his voice muffled, "That father who blindly followed the Zhu family, I don't want him anymore, my mother and brother are gone too, from now on, I have no family. Jiu Jiu, you are my only family, promise me, never leave me, okay?"

When a man who has always appeared strong and even somewhat cynical suddenly reveals such complete vulnerability and dependence, this stark contrast is enough to break down any defenses.

For a long time, I felt as if my heart was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, both sour and astringent. The slight anger at being offended had long since vanished, replaced by a surge of protectiveness and heartache.

She could clearly sense that Dai Youheng's words came from the bottom of his heart; he truly had never doubted her.

"Okay." After a long silence, her voice softened unconsciously. She hesitated for a moment, then finally raised her hand and gently hugged his trembling back. "I won't leave you."

In a corner unseen by anyone, Dai Youheng, with her face buried in Xu Jiujiu's shoulder, possessed a deep, calm clarity in her eyes.

Of course he didn't doubt Xu Jiujiu.

Because the real mastermind behind all of this, from beginning to end, was just himself.

No one knows better than the person who wronged you how wronged you are; that's a truth.

Nowadays, the Xu family and the Dai family are suspicious of each other, and deep-seated resentment has taken root.

But no one would suspect him, because it was Bai Wanning and Dai Luoli who died, and he was the most painful "victim" who survived!
