Sounds like a really sensible and considerate relative!
For the sake of the dignity of my in-laws, I would endure it no matter how uncomfortable it was, and wait until the guests had dispersed before speaking out.
But why do I always feel like something is wrong?
The second master forced a smile: "It's really hard for you..." After thinking about it, he tried to change the topic, "They did something wrong in this matter, and they will be restrained from now on. Don't worry, the second master guarantees it!"
Who would have thought that Ji Ling, who looked touched just now, immediately changed his face: "Second Master, this is too light! My aunt's death is in front of me, and my cousin's matter is in the back. You can make this happen with just one promise.
Has the matter been wiped away?"
Before the Second Grandpa could get angry, he said softly: "I naturally believe you, but you guys live far away from each other. How can the Second Grandpa guarantee this? Didn't the Second Grandpa find out about my aunt's death only later? If I can guarantee this, the Second Grandpa will
Don't say it easily. I really don't want an elder like you to be ruined by someone else's fault because of a slip of the tongue."
With these two consecutive words, he first threw down and then picked up the second prince. He couldn't get angry. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that what he said made sense.
Although they have the same surname as Ming, they have branched off a long time ago. How can I guarantee this? Although the Ji family is in decline now, but with the character of the eldest brother, it is uncertain when it will rise again. On the contrary, the Ming family is now involved in rebellion.
I still don’t know how the case will end. If I make a fuss over this matter in the future, wouldn’t I be shameless?
Some people cherish their reputation more and more as they get older. The second prince believed that he had been fair all his life, and he really did not want to gain fame for another distant nephew.
Thinking this way, his mind became biased.
"You are such a good boy who thinks about your cousin like this. So in your opinion, what should we do about this matter?"
Ji Ling felt reassured after hearing his words.
What he planned today is already inseparable.
He said: "Second Master Mingjian, my father only has one sister, and the younger generation only has one aunt and cousin. Now that my aunt has passed away, we must not let our cousin spend her whole life because of her ignorance. Since the Ming family can't take care of her,
Why not just leave her to us!"
Although the Second Master was a little surprised, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was reasonable.
Their two families have a marriage contract, and Xiao Qi will be a member of the Ji family in the future. Now that the Ji family sees that the Ming family is not treating her well, it is normal for the Ji family to want to take her away. What's more, it is her uncle's house.
So he looked at the fourth master: "Fourth master, what do you say?"
The fourth master was startled for a moment, frowned and asked: "What do you mean by the eldest brother of the Ji family? If you want to take Xiaoqi to the capital, there is no reason why we should stop her from going to her uncle's house. But what you said seems to be more than that.
Bar?"
Ji Ling smiled: "Fourth Uncle Ming, what I mean is that from now on, our cousin will be disciplined by our Ji family. The Ming family will not interfere in her affairs!"
Is this to sever ties?
"No!" the Fourth Master blurted out, his brows furrowed tightly, "You want to take her back, I have no problem with it, but you..."
"Fourth Uncle Ming!" Ji Ling raised his voice, "We, the Ji family, swallowed up the aunt's matter because the person involved is dead. Seriously, it's not just the Sixth Master who is at fault in this matter!"
This is a threat!
The Fourth Master was unhappy at first, and then felt a little guilty.
This fact was so unbearable that it finally came to an end and no one wanted to expose it again.
But asking him to nod and agree to let Xiao Qi sever ties with the Ming family was really something he couldn't do.
It's not just a matter of face, but also another hidden thought.
The Ming family was so sorry for her that they couldn't even keep her daughter? Even if Xiao Qi still went to her uncle's house and would marry her in the future, she would still be the daughter of the Ming family...
But looking at Ji Ling, he looked like he wouldn't give up until he agreed. The Ming family was in a troubled time, and my great-aunt fell ill again and couldn't stand the trouble anymore...
At this time, Mingsheng came over.
When Ji Ling was speaking, he came, listened outside for a while, and then walked in the door.
"Dad." He leaned over and said, "Come out for a moment. I have something to tell you."
"What can't wait?"
Mingsheng insisted: "It's a very important matter." Then he saluted the second prince and others, as well as Ji Ling, "I'm sorry, please wait a moment."
The fourth master had no choice but to go out with him.
Mingsheng pulled his father to the corner and said, "Dad, please promise me Cousin Ji!"
Seeing that he was talking about the same thing, the fourth master said: "How can you agree to it as a father? If you let go, Xiaoqi is no longer a member of the Ming family. Although your third uncle..." He paused and sighed, "He and
Your third aunt only has one daughter. If she leaves the Ming family, there won’t even be anyone to pay homage to her in the future."
Ming Sheng said: "Why is dad so pedantic now? What's the situation in our family now? Master Jiang let us go home not because we are innocent, but because we have done meritorious service and are merciful outside the law. When he will
The affairs of Dongning have been straightened out, and the Holy Spirit has decreed that we all go to the capital to wait and see. Don’t you know what the third uncle committed? This is a serious crime of treason, and he wants to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan. Mr. Jiang agreed to intercede for us.
, but if we are so sure, will the Holy Spirit show mercy?"
The fourth master was silent.
"Even if Cousin Ji doesn't say it, I still want to mention it. Not only Xiaoqi, but also Axiang, Xiaojiu... all those who can be sent to my uncle's house will be sent away. Tian'en Thunder, no one can predict the Holy Spirit
How will she be punished? Now Cousin Ji has said that we should just go with the flow and prevent her from being implicated by us if something unexpected happens..."
At this point, Ming Sheng felt sad: "We have already felt sorry for Third Aunt, and also sorry for Xiao Qi. I really don't have the face to ask her for forgiveness, so I'll just do the last thing for her!"
The fourth master felt sad after hearing what he said.
Ji Ling drank tea for a while and chatted with the second master. Then the fourth master and his son came back.
Before he could speak, the fourth master said: "Eldest brother of the Ji family, what you said makes sense. Our family really can't take care of Xiao Qi now, so why don't we leave it to your discipline. If it's over here, you can just take Xiao Qi back."
"
Ji Ling was surprised. What happened? Why did the Fourth Master have a completely different attitude when he went out?
He glanced at Ming Sheng and said with a smile on his face: "Thank you, Fourth Uncle Ming, for your understanding. But there is no basis for this matter..."
The Fourth Master interrupted him: "Then let's establish a written document."
"..." Ji Ling blinked.
Wait, why is it so straightforward? He thought it would take a little more effort.
Ming Sheng had already brought a pen and paper over there, so Ji Ling had no choice but to gather his thoughts and carefully discuss the contents of the document with the fourth master.
After setting up the document, Ji Lingzai read it carefully several times to make sure there was nothing wrong with it, and then carefully put it away.
Just as he was about to open his mouth, Ming Sheng had already taken the lead: "Dad, Xiao Qi is the only child of Third Uncle, so the property in Third Uncle's name should be handed over to her. Now that the document has been established, the property has also been delivered, right?
"
The fourth master nodded in agreement and asked him to get the account book.
Ji Ling had no need to speak out what he had prepared and swallowed it back.
This development is a bit strange!
He originally thought that getting property for his cousin would be the most difficult thing! After all, women's inheritance rights are limited. According to the laws of this dynasty, a household can only give their daughter half of the property. The second wife of the Ming family has not divided the family, so they really have to break up the family.
, I’m in trouble!
But judging from the looks of the fourth master and Ming Sheng, they plan to hand over all of Ming San's property, not even keeping the half...
