At the Ji familrs old residence.
“Then, Elders, let’s begin,” Ji Xiao said with a smile. The Righteousness Hall buzzed with discussion.
“l think it’ll work!”
“Yeah, dragging it out isn’t a good idea.”
“The former Patriarch’s whereabouts are unknown. We need to choose a new Patriarch to lead the family forward…”
Ji Xiao looked around and then spoke to the elders. “Alright, which elder would like to go first?”
Ji Hongyuan stood up unhurriedly and then turned his head in Ji Ziyin’s direction. “l support Ziyin taking over the Patriarch position.”
Ji Ziyin met his gaze and smiled respectfully before bowing. “Thank you for believing in me, Sixth Elder.”
The people who went to the Tianshui Private Clubhouse yesterday had their own considerations upon seeing this scene.
The elders spoke one by one.
“In that case, I’ll share my thoughts. I also support Ji Ziyin as the next Patriarch. At the very least, she has some research results on black gunpowder.”
He said this for Xie Yun to hear.
Of course, Xie Yun knew their plan. She took a deep breath and looked at the few neutral elders.
“Fourth Uncle, do you also think that a person who has been expelled from the family tree can become the next Patriarch?”
The old man who was called out by her looked stunned. He did not dare to look her in the eye and hesitated for a moment before saying, “What they said makes sense. But according to the rules, she indeed doesn’t have the right to become the Patriarch…
Xie Yun unclenched her fists and her expression softened. Then, she firmly said, “Then let’s wait for Ji Nan to come back!”
Everyone in the Righteousness Hall looked at her.
Xie Yun straightened her neck slightly like a proud swan and looked around at these uncles and elders who harbored ill intentions. Then, she said with a graceful expression, “Ji Nan will be here in an hour. Uncles, you shouldn’t be in a hurry, right?”
She did not wait for Ji Hongyuan and the others to answer and continued, “Of course, if all of you plan to go ahead with this, we, orphan and widow, have nothing to say!’
“What are you talking about?”
“Yeah, we didn’t mean that.”
“What will people think of us if word gets out?”
The most excited elders looked at each other while internally blaming her for saying the ‘wrong’ words.
Xie Yun stood her ground and withstood all the pressure without a change in expression, unyielding and refusing to break!
“Since that’s not what you mean, everyone, wait for an hour for Ji Nan to get here. Otherwise, if the elders insist on finalizing the matter, I can only think that his elders don’t want to see him return!”
What could the elders say at this point?
All of them were rendered speechless by Xie Yun’s provocation.
Ji Ziyin’s eyes turned cold as she tilted her head and gave Old Madam Xie a look.
Old Madam Xie immediately understood and interrupted her, breaking Xie Yun e s imposing manner. “How can you speak to an elder like that? The Ji family elders are thinking for the family’s sake! I’m Ji Nan’s grandmother, and my heart aches for him, but I know that this kind of thing can’t be dealt with emotions alone. What will Lingfeng think of you? Will he be peaceful up there?”
The elders found it difficult to speak due to Xie Yun’s status.
But Old Madam Xie was different.
She would always be Xie Yun’s biological mother.
With a mother criticizing her child for doing wrong, would others feel burdened?
