Xing Ze nodded: "Yes, in other words, my life can only be temporarily extended."
Gu Siying's eyes flashed with helplessness: "Is there really no other way?"
Xing Ze shook his head, sighed leisurely and said: "Queen, everything in the world has its own natural laws, and people also have the cycle of life and death. We cannot change a person's life and death."
"So, I can only try my best to let the head of the family live longer."
Gu Siying understood what Xing Ze meant and knew that this was an unchangeable result.
"Brother, sister-in-law, uncle, he..." Murong Xiaofeng stood behind him with a look of despair.
He walked to the bedside with heavy steps, guilt and sadness that could not be wiped off his face.
"It's all because of me. If I hadn't been obsessed with ghosts, my uncle wouldn't be like this."
Gu Siying slowly stepped forward, patted the man's shoulder, and said softly: "Xiaofeng, uncle's current condition has nothing to do with poisoning, and it is not your fault."
The old housekeeper standing aside had red eyes at this moment and choked up his voice: "The head of the family has actually known for a long time that his time is short. His illness has accumulated over a long period of time and did not happen overnight."
"Back then, the head of the family carried the banner of the Murong family by himself. He worked day and night and was in a state of nervous tension all day long."
"The head of the family made the Murong family what it is today, but his body also collapsed because of it."
"So Young Master, Young Master Xiaofeng, the head of the family has always hoped that you can take over his position and carry the banner of the Murong family."
Looking at the pale old man on the hospital bed, the eyes of everyone present could not help but turn slightly red.
"Butler, I will definitely work hard and share the burden for uncle!" Murong Xiaofeng's eyes flashed with clearly visible determination.
The old housekeeper had a kind smile on his face: "Master Xiaofeng, the master of the house will be very happy to hear this."
"Master, did you hear that?" He gently wiped Murong Zhen's hands.
"I heard you, don't let me, an old man, have a good sleep." Murong Zhen slowly opened his eyes with a relaxed smile on his face.
Gu Siying's eyes moved slightly: "Uncle, you're awake, how are you feeling?"
Murong Zhen looked around and saw that everyone was present, and then he took a long breath: "I feel much better. Don't listen to Lao Li's exaggeration. How can he say it with such eyes!"
"But one thing he is right about is that you will have to carry the banner of the Murong family in the future."
Hearing this, Ye Xiu and Gu Siying looked at each other with a hint of deep meaning.
Ye Xiu stepped forward slowly, his thin lips parted and said, "Uncle, Xiaofeng is the perfect candidate to succeed you."
"With his ability, he can carry the Murong family."
Hearing the man's affirmative words, Murong Xiaofeng's eyes couldn't help but flash with shame.
"Brother, I can't do it alone."
Ye Xiu: "We believe you."
"A man can't say he can't do it."
Hearing this, Gu Siying couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"If you say this, aren't you unknowingly putting more pressure on Xiaofeng!"
The corners of Ye Xiu's lips raised slightly: "You will be motivated only when you are under pressure. What do you think, uncle?"
He turned his attention to the man on the bed and directly put the pressure on Murong Zhen.
Murong Zhen naturally understood what he meant and laughed loudly: "Yes, Xiu'er is right, only when you are under pressure will you be motivated!"
"Xiao Feng, this is Xiu'er's great affirmation of you. You must believe that you have this strength."
"Of course, not only your brother believes in you, but your uncle also believes that you can do a good job!"
Murong Xiaofeng looked at their affirmative eyes and felt extremely grateful for a moment.
For a moment, he felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier.
He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Okay, then I will take over this important task first!"
Hearing that he agreed, both Gu Siying and Ye Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Murong family will be left to you from now on." Ye Xiu patted the man's shoulder with great assurance in his eyes.
Murong Zhen's face suddenly became more relaxed, with a kind smile on his face: "I finally fulfilled my brother's wish, and I will be able to explain to him in the future."
Murong Xiaofeng's eyes shone with seriousness and determination: "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your and father's high expectations!"
Ye Xiu and Gu Siying finally felt relieved when they saw the result was satisfactory.
"Uncle, the disobedient shareholders in the company have been dealt with. There will be support for Xiaofeng to take over the company."
"Everything has been taken care of. It's time for Ying'er and I to return to the imperial capital."
