Once Uncle Roger made his accusation, the other three immediately followed after him.
"Yes, your excellency, I heard that it's because of the sacred guardian that Elliana let to stay beside the young miss!"
"That must be it. She's such a nasty woman. To think she would try to harm the young miss when the little lamb believes her…"
All sorts of accusations, along with the forged proof, flew in the air. The four didn't stop talking, and Grandpa Yofan had to raise his hand to stop them from speaking.
"Enough. I know what all of you want to do, but without solid proof, we can't just blame Elliana. That's not fair." Grandpa Yofan shook his head. Even though he knew that Elliana would be blamed sooner or later, at least he had to delay it.
All the authority was in his hand right now, and only when the family branches pressured him would he make a move to sacrifice Elliana.
Of course, that better never happened.
