Jiang Li, a young man who had just turned eighteen, was sitting behind the desk, looking at the peace charm pendant in his hand with a touch of sadness.
On the pendant, there is a lightning bolt in the middle, and the words "ping" and "an" are written on both sides. Except for some mysterious lines, there is nothing too surprising.
With a "creak", the door was suddenly pushed open.
Jiang Li quickly put away the peace charm pendant and looked at the door. His personal maid Yuncai walked in.
"Sir, are you missing the eldest lady again?"
There is also a slightly sad color on the watercress surface.
"Is there a problem?"
Jiang Li had no intention of saying more about his mother.
"The master of the house invites you to come over to discuss matters. It seems that he wants to find a good marriage for you."
When Yucai mentioned this matter, she was happy from the bottom of her heart. As the eldest son of the Jiang family, the young master was ridiculed for not being able to practice. Now the city lord's palace is taking the initiative to bring together the eldest daughter of the Meng family and the young master. This is really a strange situation.
What a great happy event.
"I'm afraid it's a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a rooster, and he doesn't have any good intentions."
Jiang Li smiled coldly. He was well aware of the behavior of his uncles. They had nothing to gain and could not afford to stay early. Normally, they would feel disgusted even if they looked at him more than once. Now that they are planning a marriage for themselves, they may have other agendas.
But he still got up. The uncles didn't have to look down on him, but his father still had to give him face.
Soon, he arrived at the meeting hall.
"I've met my father, second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, and several uncles from the City Lord's Mansion."
Although Jiang Li was disdainful, he still followed the basic etiquette thoroughly.
"Li'er, there's no need to be so polite. Come and sit next to me."
Jiang Xiong spoke politely, but there was no expression on his face.
"Young Master is indeed a talented man with extraordinary talents. He and our City Lord's Mansion's daughter, Qian Jin, are truly a talented and beautiful woman. They are a match made in heaven. If they get married, the City Lord's Mansion and the Jiang family will truly be one family from now on."
The chief steward of the City Lord's Mansion, who was about forty years old, was wearing a light yellow robe and looked at Jiang Li with a smile.
"Quanzi has an ancient imperial body and cannot practice. He is considered a useless person. How can he match the richness of the city lord's palace? I think this matter needs to be discussed in the long run."
Jiang Xiong, who was sitting at the top, looked slightly serious.
He had heard about the scandal about the legitimate daughter of the Meng family. It was said that she took the initiative to seduce the young master of the Sword Sect and used sex to serve others. In the end, she was ruthlessly abandoned after losing her virginity. Now she is eager to get married to his Jiang family, but because
Her belly grew bigger, and she was eager to find a successor and wanted to cover it up. Apparently she was afraid that the matter would spread and damage the face of the city lord's palace.
As for why the child was not aborted directly, he guessed that it was probably because people from the City Lord's Mansion wanted to preserve the excellent genes of the young master of the Sword Sect.
"Master Jiang, these words are serious. Your son is the legitimate son of the Jiang family. Regardless of whether he can cultivate or not, he will be the head of the Jiang family in the future. His status is worthy of my young lady, and the matter of getting married is with the city lord of my family.
The person who nodded in person, the city lord, has just broken through to the extraordinary realm recently, I hope the Jiang family master will think twice."
Zhang Buer, the chief steward of the City Lord's Mansion, still had a smile on his face, but his words were a bit intriguing.
"Humph, you are threatening me!"
Jiang Xiong slapped the case and stood up, glaring angrily.
"Now that the words have been made clear, let me tell you straight away. Either in three days, the marriage ceremony of the Jiang family's legitimate son and the City Lord's palace's legitimate daughter will be held, or, in three days, the Jiang family will cease to exist!"
The smile finally disappeared from Zhang Buer's face. After saying a cold word, he turned around and left with the people from the City Lord's Mansion. Before leaving, he deliberately paused in front of Jiang Li and said meaningfully:
"This is a good opportunity for you to make a comeback. You must seize it."
He even wanted to pat Jiang Li on the shoulder, but Jiang Li dodged him.
After the people from the City Lord's Mansion left, the entire Jiang family meeting hall fell into silence.
"My son will never marry this immoral wife!"
After a long silence, Jiang Xiong spoke angrily.
Jiang Li didn't say anything. He had also heard about the scandal of Mengyue, the daughter-in-law of the City Lord's Mansion. Even in Vatican City, there were many people who knew about it. It was just that due to the power of the City Lord's Mansion, no one dared to say more.
.
Of course he is unwilling to marry such a woman, but he also understands one thing very well, that is, the decision-making power is not in his hands, not even in his father's hands. In Vatican City, the City Lord's Mansion is the only one. In the past, the City Lord and the ancestors of the Jiang family
, are both at the pinnacle of the Lingquan Realm. In terms of overall strength, although the Jiang family is a little worse, they are on the same level in terms of top-level combat power. There may be room for maneuver in the so-called marriage, but now, there is no turning around at all.
"Brother, I'm afraid this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run."
The second elder of the Jiang family was a thin middle-aged man. After taking a look at Jiang Li, he said to Jiang Xiong.
"What do you mean?"
Jiang Xiong was already angry, but now he heard Jiang Er's words and became even more angry.
"Brother, second brother is right. She is the legitimate daughter of the city lord's palace, and she is also a core disciple of the Sword Sect. To be honest, this is Li'er's blessing!"
Jiang San was chubby and echoed Jiang Er.
"Do you want this blessing? Can you let your son marry that slutty woman?"
Jiang Xiong slapped the table and glared at Jiang San.
"I think so too. It's a pity that your son is wanted by name. Who makes him the eldest son? He has enjoyed the blessings of the family for so many years, and he should make some contributions to the family now, right? Otherwise, he will have trouble in the future.
What qualifications do you have to be the head of the Jiang family?"
Jiang San’s yin and yang strange aura.
"What Third Brother said makes sense. The City Lord's Mansion has made it very clear. This marriage must be done whether it is a marriage or not. It is impossible for the Jiang family to be punished by the City Lord for such a trivial matter.
The government should be destroyed directly."
Jiang Si stood up and obviously advocated getting married in three days.
Jiang Xiong still wanted to say something, but his eyes moved down and Jiang Li had quietly left. He was the head of the family. Although he didn't want his son to marry such a rag, what could he do?
?Is it really possible for such a big Jiang family to bury his son with him?
Sitting down on the armchair slumped, Jiang Xiong said nothing. Not speaking actually represented a kind of acquiescence.
Jiang Li lost his soul while walking on the way back to his yard.
With a determined look in his eyes, he had already thought about what to do.
"Oh! Congratulations, the good-for-nothing eldest son of our Jiang family has become the daughter of the city lord's palace!"
Just as Jiang Li was walking forward, a group of teenagers blocked his path. The one who spoke was Jiang Tianyu, the eldest son of the second wife.
"Hehe, I heard that the daughter of the city lord's palace is beautiful. Jiang Li, you are very lucky."
Jiang Guangwei from the third room said jokingly.
"Isn't that right? If you are not beautiful, you can't seduce a big shot like the young master of the Sword Sect... Tsk tsk, our good-for-nothing brother can sleep with the woman that the young master of the Sword Sect has slept with. That is also a very fulfilling thing.
Bar."
Sifang Jiang Wude crossed his arms with his arms on his chest and had a bright smile on his face. However, he soon stopped laughing. With a "pop" sound, his mouth was twisted.
Even without any cultivation, Jiang Li still took action.
He has never been a coward who allowed others to bully him.
"How dare you hit me?!"
Jiang Wude quickly surged with spiritual power, and then punched Jiang Li's chest without hesitation.
