A play was going on in the hall of the Qin Mansion, and Xia Shang guessed it in just a few words.
Families have been fighting for power since ancient times. On the surface, the heads of major aristocratic families may appear to be glamorous and have a high status, but secretly they have to manage family affairs, make trade-offs, and work far more than they enjoy.
Being the head of a family is not that easy, nor is it a good job. But in the face of power, there are always some people who want to fight to the death.
The Qin family is not a big family. At most, it was prosperous fifty years ago, because at that time, the old general Qin retired from the army and came to Yangzhou as the founder of the country to spread the branches of the Qin family.
Nowadays, the decline of the Qin family is an indisputable fact. What is left is a group of veterans who obey the orders of the Qin family, and the old man who is like a living fossil. It can be said that in less than twenty years, the Qin family will
The family is destined to decline and will eventually disappear in the long river of history.
But even in such a family, there are still people who are eyeing the position of the head of the family.
The current situation is obvious. Qin Feng uses the strength of his entire family to go to Xiaoqingshan to help an outsider. The key is that there is a danger hidden in it. What if something goes wrong?
As the leader of a family, Qin Feng's actions are obviously very inappropriate and will definitely attract some gossip.
However, it seems too much to expand this matter to the level of a family clan meeting.
Now, all the elders in charge of the Qin family have gathered together to make a fuss about Xiao Qingshan's affairs. Someone must be behind this.
Xia Shang knew it, but he couldn't explain it. He could only whisper to Qin Huairou: "Madam, it seems that my father-in-law has something important to discuss, so we should go elsewhere."
"But..." Qin Huairou was worried. This incident started because of her, but now she wants to protect herself wisely and abandon her father?
Qin Huairou wanted to say something else, but Xia Shang gently squeezed his little hand to signal.
Qin Huairou was worried, but she did not dare to openly disobey her husband. With so many people watching, she was afraid that she would be taken advantage of again, so she and Xia Shang had to leave the house.
After exiting the hall, the two of them reached a deserted place. Qin Huairou couldn't help but ask what was in her heart: "Ms. sir, my father risked all his taboos to save you and touched all the power of the Qin family. Now my father is being embarrassed by his uncles."
, Mr. Xianggong, why..."
"Why what?"
"Why..." Qin Huairou was hesitant, unable to say those unpleasant words, and her expression was already a little unhappy.
Xia Shang smiled lightly: "Are you trying to tell me why my husband backed down from the battle?"
"..."
"Huairou, do you still regard Mr. Xian as the ruthless and meaningless playboy you were before?"
"No... Mr. Xian, I didn't mean that... Mr. Xian must have his own plans, right... I'm sorry."
The tall woman's posture when she shyly admitted her mistake was very beautiful. Xia Shang stroked the slender waist of the beauty next to him: "Although your husband-in-law is not a gentleman, I am grateful to see my father-in-law help me when I was in Xiaoqingshan.
In my heart. Besides, I am a loving father. My father-in-law is in trouble. How can I just let go? But after all, I am not a member of the Qin family. Although I have a variety of words in the room that can silence everyone sitting in the room, I can't speak in the end.
At that time. If I speak at that time, no matter what I say, it will be detrimental to my father-in-law. Others will say that I am arrogant. My father-in-law encourages outsiders to interfere in family affairs. It will not sound good if it is spread."
"What do you mean, sir?"
"I want to pay a visit to the old man."
…
The old man of the Qin family has been in Yangzhou for seventy years and is now a hundred years old. After returning home, he founded the Qin family in Yangzhou until now. In recent years, the old man has no longer presided over family affairs and lives in seclusion at home, keeping a low profile.
In life, there are few rumors about him.
Xia Shang had wanted to see this old man who was like a living fossil for a long time, and had imagined countless appearances and postures. But when he saw it with his own eyes, the old man's appearance was beyond expectation.
Qin Huairou took Xia Shang to a remote courtyard.
There are no green bricks and tiles here, only a bamboo fence, a thatched house inside the fence, and a vegetable garden outside the thatched house. In the vegetable garden, there is a short old farmer holding a hoe in one hand and a book in the other. He looks very out of place and skinny.
His body shape is also a bit weird.
No matter how he dresses up, such an old man cannot be associated with the dignified founding fathers and ancestors of the Qin family.
Xia Shang's purpose in finding the old man was very simple. No matter how much trouble the clan members made, since the ancestor was still alive, he had to get the old man's consent if he wanted to change the head of the family. As long as he could get the old man's support, everything would be simple.
The old man has lived for such a long time, his ears and eyes are clear, and his heart is very clear, so communicating with him is not difficult and is very purposeful.
Xia Shang was used to this way of talking, and he quickly reached an agreement with the old man.
After doing all this, Xia Shang went to pay his respects to his mother-in-law, and then took the bus back to Yulin County.
It had been a long time since he returned home, and he still didn't know what his home was like. Xia Shang was so anxious that he didn't have the time to appreciate the scenery along the way.
…
At this moment, the Liuzhuang incident seemed to have settled on the surface, with many people dead and many officials dismissed. But the fluctuations and influence behind the scenes were not over yet.
The influence of the imperial court did not seem to be as great as expected, but it caused an uproar among Jianghu forces and civil organizations.
Because of the sudden appearance of the White Lotus Sect, not only did they fail to succeed, they didn't even know who the emperor was, and instead got the information that they were all wiped out.
There are also rumors that Fairy Shuiyue encountered a mysterious master in the battle at Liuzhuang and eventually died, with her life and death unknown.
This incident is probably the most chilling news for everyone in the world.
Even Fairy Shuiyue failed to capture the emperor. Instead, she was severely injured by the masters around the emperor. You can imagine how terrifying the power the imperial court wields is!
However, there are still many mysteries surrounding the whole thing, and very few people know the key.
For example, Xian'er...
Three nights ago, Xian'er and Master Xian'er saw Fairy Shuiyue instantly kill nearly ten masters of her sect with the Jade Flute Tianyin Magic. Ye Xian also conveyed Fairy Shuiyue's request. So in the fairy land of Liuyun, and Bai Yi
A small number of people in the teaching know the true situation of Fairy Shuiyue.
But this does not mean that Fairy Shuiyue was not injured in Liuzhuang. There were experts who secretly observed that day and saw with their own eyes that Fairy Shuiyue was seriously injured by a mysterious person. Her injuries could be said to be fatal.
From being seriously injured to regaining strength, this cannot be accomplished by one's own strength.
During this period, some adventure must have happened to Fairy Shuiyue.
In the dim cabin, Xian'er stood to one side. On the bed not far away, Master Xian'er and another person were sitting opposite each other. The two looked at each other, and there was a faint red light in their eyes, which was very strange.
Master Xian'er's expression was calm and focused.
The people sitting together were confused and ignorant of people's affairs.
Looking at this man's clothes, he is clearly the bandit who once said he liked Yue Haitang. (To be continued)
