Chapter 153: Family Election
The elders all sighed and said, "Young Master Muxi is like this, there will be great disasters in the future." ”
"That's right, don't say that the other party is an important minister of the royal family, even in the face of ordinary people, you should show humility, how can you say such a thing. ”
"Lord Castle, what are you going to do?"
Mu Feng looked at everyone and said slowly: "I have locked Xi'er in the meditation room, let her reflect on herself." ”
The elders looked at each other, their faces showed embarrassment, and they were locked in the contemplative room, this kind of punishment is not painful, what use can it be.
A white-haired elder plucked up the courage to speak, "City Lord, my subordinates have a proposal, I don't know if I should talk about it or not. ”
Mu Feng replied, "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
The white-haired elder said in a shocking voice: "Temporarily remove the position of young lady and young master." ”
The other elders looked at the white-haired elder and nodded their heads, this was also the true purpose of their trip.
Mu Feng frowned and said, "The position of the young master has always been handled according to the family rules, Xi'er has not violated the family rules, how can the young master be removed?"
Mu Feng is not stupid, the position of the young master is related to the next city lord, he naturally wants to ensure that Ye Lingcheng is in the hands of his descendants, and those elders naturally have the same idea as Mu Feng, and they all want to fight.
There can only be three people for the position of young master, and the selection of the city lord is also carried out among these three people, if there is one less wooden Xi, it is the biggest obstacle for them, and the royal affairs just gave them an excellent opportunity, and the elders tacitly agreed.
The white-haired elder persuaded: "Miss's practice is no different from violating the family rules, and it is even more serious than violating the family rules. ”
"Yes, Great Elder Mu Yang is right, I hope the city lord will think twice. Another elder chimed in.
There has been a subtle change in everyone's address to Mu Xi, from the young master just now to the current young lady, and it seems that Mu Xi's position as the young master has been removed by default.
Mu Feng cursed in his heart: "A group of old foxes, do you think I don't know what you think in your hearts, Mu Yang, Mu Yang, you are not really stupid enough to think that Mu Yan can compete with Xi'er, right?"
Mu Feng's expression was indifferent, and he said with a firm attitude: "The family rules cannot be violated, and the matter of the young master will be discussed later." ”
How could the white-haired elder refuse to give up, and said unrelentingly: "City Lord, this matter can't just be left like this, if the young lady causes any more trouble, who can bear the consequences." ”
Mu Feng said helplessly: "Mu Yang, then what should you do? Even if you want to dismiss Xi'er, there must be a reason." ”
Mu Yang seemed to be prepared, and immediately spoke: "Activate the family election and see what the elders mean." ”
The Mu family's family election is the highest level of the family's deliberations, all the elders must participate, discuss a matter together, if the number of supporters is more than half, it can be enforced, and the city lord can represent five people.
Mu Feng had no choice but to agree: "Okay, just do as you say." ”
The white-haired elder's purpose had been achieved, so he said goodbye: "My subordinates have taken their leave." ”
The elders left one by one, and Mu Feng was the only one left in the main hall.
Mu Li knocked on the door of Siguo's room and said, "Young master, something is wrong." ”
Mu Xi asked inside, "What's wrong?"
Mu Li's tone was slightly anxious and said, "Just now, the elders met with the city lord and asked for the family election to be activated and your young lord removed. ”
Mu Xi smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "Then don't bother them, the family election should be a place to discuss important matters, just a young master's position, I will go to my father and tell me." ”
"What does the young master mean?" Mu Li wondered.
Mu Xi said: "I have to trouble you to go to my father, just say that I think clearly." ”
Mu Li was overjoyed, thinking that Mu Xi had thought about the matter with the royal family clearly, and hurriedly replied: "Okay, my subordinates will go to the city lord." ”
The corners of Mu Xi's mouth rose slightly, and his eyes were full of relief.
Mu Li came to the main hall and said happily: "Lord City, the young master has thought it through and wants to meet you." ”
A smile appeared on Mu Feng's face, and he said in surprise: "Is this true?"
Mu Li nodded fiercely, Mu Feng laughed, and said, "I knew that my daughter would definitely be able to figure it out, let's go, I'll go see her." ”
In this way, Mu Feng will have enough reason to refuse the request of the elders, and he will also be able to have a good relationship with the royal family.
Mu Feng came to the door of Siguo's room, lifted the seal on the door, pushed the door and entered: "Xi'er, I have wronged you." ”
Mu Xi got up and saluted: "Father's words are serious, and thanks to this thought, my daughter has now figured out some things." ”
Mu Feng nodded approvingly, and said, "Those old things want to take the opportunity to take away your position as the young master, and they are still having a headache for their father, but now you just need to follow your father's requirements, and I will keep you safe." ”
Mu Xi smiled slightly and asked, "What does Father want Xi'er to do?"
Mu Feng opened his mouth and said: "At the family election tomorrow, you will show your attitude towards the royal family in public, I expect them to never dare to say anything more." ”
Mu Xi nodded and agreed: "My daughter wrote it down." ”
Day 2.
Mu Feng summoned all the elders to the main hall and announced, "Today's opening of the family election is an important matter to discuss, I think you all know what is going on." ”
Mu Yang was the first to speak: "I know, about the removal of Miss Mu Xi's young master, Lord City, the rules are clear to everyone, let's start directly." ”
Mu Feng's face was full of confident smiles, which made Mu Yang and the others puzzled.
Mu Feng said: "Before that, I want to let Xi'er make a statement for herself, Xi'er also has her own thoughts about yesterday's events." ”
The elders didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the Mufeng gourd, but they couldn't object, so they had to say one after another: "Then please tell the young lady about it." ”
Mu Feng gestured to Mu Xi with his eyes, Mu Xi smiled slightly, and said in a clear voice: "Elders, Mu Xi needs to apologize to you before this, because a trivial matter took a lot of trouble to enable the family election, Mu Xi really didn't want to go. In addition, Mu Xi knows that everyone here is thinking about the overall situation, and I admit that yesterday was a bit abrupt, and if you offend the royal family, it is likely to affect the entire family. ”
The corners of Mu Feng's mouth went up and he nodded approvingly, everything went according to his expectations.
Mu Yang and the others were a little flustered, now that Mu Xi realized his mistake, if he promised not to make mistakes again in front of everyone and tried his best to get along with the royal family, they would not have enough reason to remove Mu Xi from the position of young master.
Suddenly, Mu Xi's words changed: "But Mu Xi would like to say sorry to you again, I know that it is of great benefit to the family to be friendly with the royal family, and I also know that the family wants to use me as a link with the royal family." I can swear that I can give my life for my family, but I don't want to give my freedom. ”
Mu Xi paused, and then said: "You can say that I am selfish, but I must also admit that I am not interested in the royal family, and I do not want to deal with the people of the royal family, and I ask you and my father not to use me as a tool to communicate with the royal family in the future." ”
The audience was stunned, how could this be completely different from what was expected, Mu Feng was also stunned at the moment, he never expected Mu Xi to say such a thing.
Mu Xi smiled sadly and said, "I think I am no longer worthy of the position of this young master, so I will take the initiative to request the removal of my young master." ”
Mu Feng said angrily: "Xi'er, what are you talking nonsense?!Quickly retract what you just said!"
Mu Xi saluted Mu Feng and said, "The daughter can't stand her father's cultivation, but the daughter has made up her mind, and I hope that my father will stop forcing it." ”
Mu Feng slapped his palm on the table in anger, and the solid table instantly turned into powder.
Mu Yang sneered and said proudly: "The city lord is angry, the lord is angry, since this is the young lady's own decision, we elders naturally can't interfere with anything." Guys, what do you think?"
"Miss Mu Xi has made her attitude, and I naturally want to support her. ”
"I also think Miss Muxi has a point, so it's better to do what she says. ”
More than half of the elders unanimously agreed, although Mu Feng was angry, it was useless, so he could only say helplessly: "Okay, since this is the case, then remove Xi'er from the position of young master." ”
Mu Xi saluted and said, "My daughter thanked my father, this is my young master's order, and I will return it to you now." ”
Mu Xi took out a token and respectfully handed it to Mu Feng's hand.
Mu Feng's eyes were distracted, and he took the young master's order with a dull gaze, and slapped it on the chair fiercely.
Mu Yang smiled and said goodbye: "Since this matter is over, I still have some things to do, so I will retire first." ”
Mu Feng waved his hand and said, "Disperse, disperse." ”
Everyone left in turn, leaving only a few of Mu Feng's henchmen and Mu Xi.
Mu Feng looked up at Mu Xi, suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and said in a trembling voice: "Do you want to be angry with your father!"
Everyone stepped forward one after another and asked one after another, "City Lord, are you okay?"
Mu Xi knelt on the ground and said, "My daughter is not talented, and I ask my father to punish her." ”
Mu Feng waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "That's it, that's it, God's will is like this, it seems that my Mu family is destined to have no such blessing." ”
Mu Xi returned to his house, lying on the bed thinking about things, Mu Li's voice came from outside the door, and Mu Xi said, "Come in." ”
Mu Li looked at Mu Xi and didn't know how to speak, Mu Xi asked, "How is my father?"
Mu Li replied, "Lord City, he was angry for a while, and now he is fine. ”
Mu Xi nodded and said, "You go out first, let me be alone for a while." ”
Mu Li clenched his fists and said: "The city lord said that your ban has been lifted, and you can go out at any time, and your subordinates will retire." ”
Mu Xi smiled bitterly and decided to go outside the city to relax.
Imperial.
"Chen Mohong paid a visit to the Nine Emperor Princes. Mo Hong saluted.
The Nine Emperor Princes personally picked up Mo Hong and asked, "How did I let you do?"
Mo Hong stood up and told the Nine Emperor Princes everything about this trip.
After hearing this, the Nine Emperors' face was slightly gloomy, and he said, "Mu Xi really said that?"
Mo Hong nodded and said, "It's true, prince, the minister has something unclear." ”
The Nine Emperor Princes asked, "What's the matter?"
