Chapter 607 338: The Villain

The servers heard her and didn't dare move, all looking toward Father Miao.

Father Miao nodded, and only then did the staff file out of the living room in an orderly fashion.

"Daughter, it's rare for you to come home. Your mother and I are overjoyed, and it's been a long time since you've seen your relatives. It's wonderful that you thought to have the whole family get together."

"Let me make some introductions. This is your Uncle, and this is your Auntie... This is your Second Uncle from your third great-aunt's side..."

Father Miao glanced around at the relatives with a hint of pride, introducing them one by one to Miao Miaomiao and Zhao Rui.

After all, some of these relatives were from distant side-branches of the family. If Miao Miaomiao hadn't insisted that everyone come, they wouldn't have been qualified to sit in the main hall.

Miao Miaomiao simply nodded at each of them in greeting, her expression showing little joy.

But the relatives didn't seem to notice. When it was their turn, they scrambled to put on ingratiating smiles. "Yes, Miaomiao, we've all missed you so much! Come to think of it, the last gathering was almost ten years ago."

"I remember holding you when you were just a baby. Who would've thought that little child would grow up to be so successful?"

"You haven't changed a bit, you're still as beautiful and young as ever."

"When your father said you were coming back, we rushed right over, afraid we'd be late..."

Listening to their flattery, Miao Miaomiao only felt a wave of irritation. She raised a hand to silence them and said coldly:

"I called you all here today to announce something."

"What is it?"

"Yeah, Miaomiao, don't tell me you're pregnant?"

"Oh, that must be it! She must be pregnant! After all, he's the crown prince of our Blue Star. Miao Miaomiao, you're going to be the Empress!"

Their speculation grew more and more outrageous, and they even ignored the fact that Zhao Rui was sitting right beside her.

"All of you, shut up!"

Miao Miaomiao snapped coldly, directly unleashing the Divine Soul Secret Skill: the Six Trigrams Enchanting Immortal Technique.

Everyone instantly flinched. Their Divine Souls roiled in their minds like a war drum, making their scalps tingle and their heads ache with a dizzying pain.

"Daughter, what are you doing! These are our relatives."

Father Miao's expression darkened.

"From now on, anyone who considers themselves my relative must undergo a full investigation. If anyone is found to have broken the law, bullied others, or abused their power, they will be punished to the fullest extent."

Miao Miaomiao completely ignored her father's look and stated the purpose of her visit.

"Of course, you can also choose to sever all ties with me. But if you do, you are forbidden from acting in my name. If I find out that you have..."

Miao Miaomiao's eyes turned cold. A beam of light shot from her gaze, instantly shattering a vase in the corner of the living room.

The crowd shuddered in fear, their faces pale. They had no idea what was happening!

A few relatives with guilty consciences found their legs shaking uncontrollably.

Miao Miaomiao waved her hand, and immediately, guards brought forth a green-haired man.

The moment they saw the green-haired man, someone in the crowd cried out and rushed forward.

"My son! What happened to you? Why are you holding him? How dare you?!"

A woman shrieked at the guards who had entered, shoving them as she tried to pull them off and free her son.

But Miao Miaomiao was no saint. She immediately sent a slap flying through the air,

knocking the woman off her feet and sending several of her teeth flying.

"You dare hit me? Have you gone mad? I'm your First Aunt!"

After saying this, the woman's eyes suddenly met Miao Miaomiao's cold, indifferent gaze.

She shuddered in fear and hurriedly tried to explain, "That's not what I meant. I mean, we're family. If your cousin has done wrong, you should discipline him as you see fit. Punish him, beat him if you must. It's just, I..."

Before she could finish, Miao Miaomiao raised her hand and delivered another slap, knocking her so-called First Aunt unconscious.

Everyone present was scared into silence, staring at Miao Miaomiao with faces full of terror.

Panting heavily, Miao Miaomiao slammed her hand on the table and shot to her feet. "Do you have no respect for your elders?!" she roared.

"She's your First Aunt! How could you..."

"Dad," Miao Miaomiao cut in, "do you even know what they've done?"

Miao Miaomiao waved her hand, and her guards stepped forward, presenting the evidence of their crimes—all gathered in just two short hours.

This particular relative had been using his connection to Miao Miaomiao as backing. Not only did he throw his weight around in his hometown, but he also leveraged that connection to get close to Father Miao and secure an important provincial position.

Publicly, he acted all prim and proper. But behind the scenes, he oppressed the innocent and committed all manner of evil. His children were even worse, stopping at nothing and committing crimes too numerous to list.

And it was only because of Miao Miaomiao's status that no one dared to intervene, and no one dared to speak out.
