As soon as they left, the ancestral hall fell silent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info miserable white lanterns exude ghostly feelings. With the coffin in the center of the main hall, it is cool and cold, lonely, and cold.

Li Xianyuan sat cross-legged on the ground at the end of the coffin, facing the courtyard outside the ancestral hall. The pear blossoms in the courtyard bring a moonlit night, and the lonely moon wheel in the bright sky.

There was a dead silence all around at first, and as time passed, faint insect cries came from outside.

Li Xianyuan, who was sitting cross-legged, seemed to be sitting in meditation, and he didn't move until -

Twitter-

Birds land on tree branches. In the distance, a cluster of buildings, a red sun rises, dispersing the morning mist.

Twitter――

A sparrow landed in front of the ancestral hall, and a few jumped into the ancestral hall, jumped to Li Xianyuan's side, and tilted his head to look at it.

Li Xianyuan's eyelids trembled, and the sparrow was alarmed, fluttering its wings and flying away and landing on the eaves.

Li Xianyuan opened his eyes slowly, rubbed his eyebrows and stood up, he was too tired, and he fell asleep against the coffin before he sat down for half an hour last night.

Li Xianyuan subconsciously looked back at the coffin, and then chuckled, he also took a special look at the coffin, could it be that the old lady would be resurrected.

Walking to the spring-filled courtyard, stretching slightly, I saw Xiaohong walking into the courtyard.

"Li Gongzi, the eldest lady asked the slave to call you back to the guest room to rest. ”

Li Xianyuan nodded and asked, "What about the eldest lady?" ”

Xiaohong hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Some evil guests came to the door, and the eldest lady went to deal with it." She also asked the slave not to tell Li Gongzi about you. ”

"Villain?"

Xiaohong nodded, and her green face showed a little disgust: "Those relatives of the Pang family who were driven away by the old lady before are here, and they all want to come to compete for the Li family's property when they hear that the old lady is gone." ”

Li Xianyuan said: "Where are they?" ”

"In the reception hall. ”

Li Xianyuan rubbed his forehead and said, "Take me there." ”

Xiaohong naturally will not disobey Li Xianyuan, she takes care of the old lady all day long, of course she knows that the old lady treats Li Xianyuan as her own grandson. She also wished that Li Xianyuan could drive the Pang family, who was too deceitful, out of the Li family.

Follow Xiaohong to the reception hall. In the distance, the sound of quarrels was heard coming from inside.

Li Xianyuan stopped and said to Xiaohong: "You go to the carriage outside the mansion to find a guard named Song Shi and ask him to wait outside the reception hall, and I will come in as soon as I call him." ”

The little maid nodded as if she didn't understand, and trotted away. Li Xianyuan straightened his clothes, tied up his long messy hair, and stepped into the reception hall.

……

"Yujin niece, the old lady is gone, this Li family must be taken care of. Instead of letting the Li family's large and small industries follow a foreign surname, it is better to take care of it with their own people. A woman persuaded in the reception hall. She is about forty years old, her figure is a little bloated, and her facial features are a little bit beautiful, but she can be regarded as a beauty when she is young.

The rest of the Ponne relatives sat on the chairs on either side and nodded in agreement.

The eldest lady was delicate: "Grandma expelled you from the Li family a long time ago, and even the genealogy was removed, and you are also considered outsiders." ”

"Yujin niece, you can't say that. Your aunt hugged you when you were young. If your parents are here, they will still call me sister. , but after all, blood is thicker than water, and we are also very sad when the old lady dies......"

"Grandma expelled you from the family tree, although you are still surnamed Li, but you are no longer from the Wuhou Li family. I let you in today because you were my elders. The eldest lady was indifferent, she went south and north at the age of eighteen to take care of the Li family's industry, how could she believe what the woman said, and said coldly: "If there is nothing to do, please leave the Li family." ”

The woman made a bitter look: "Niece Yujin, have you thought about it? Now that the family tree is in a single line, you are the only one left who is still alive." You are the head of the house, and you will marry a stranger sooner or later. When the Li family's property is given to outsiders in vain, what kind of face do you have to treat the ancestors of the Li family and the old lady who passed away. ”

The eldest lady's expression froze, and she was conflicted in her heart. The world attaches great importance to the succession of ancestors. Naturally, she can't let the Li family have no queen, but she can't let these ill-intentioned guys return to the family tree.

"What's so difficult about this, give birth to a son in the coming day, let him be surnamed Li is. Suddenly, a voice came in from the sloping ground.

The woman turned in the direction from which the voice came from and said, "It's easy to say, you are willing to let your son change his surname...... Who are you?"

The woman noticed that the man who was talking outside the door was a young man.

"Under Li Xianyuan. The boy gave up.

The woman looked at the eldest lady: "Niece Yujin, is this your guest?"

Li Xianyuan was dressed in a white and green shirt, with red lips and white teeth, and a little bit of plum petal-shaped ink marks on his eyebrows, he knew at a glance that he was not an ordinary child. The woman was cautious for a moment, and did not dare to speak falsely.

The eldest lady glanced at Li Xianyuan and said truthfully: "I'm not familiar with him. But the old lady befriended him. “

This move is to avoid suspicion. If he said that he knew him, these relatives would definitely gossip and implicate Li Xianyuan.

"So it's an outsider?" The woman breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Li Xianyuan: "This little boy, you and the old lady are old friends, and you know the Li family's affection when you want to come." You have to persuade Yu Jin more, this Li family, you can't fall into the hands of outsiders if you say anything......"

The woman's words were tingling. The outsider here naturally refers to Li Xianyuan.

"Outsiders?" Li Xian was surprised: "The old lady once said that I would be my son-in-law, but I refused for the time being because I was still young, and I thought about it in a few years." Unexpectedly, the old lady suddenly died. If you don't believe it, you can ask the Li family and the people who attended the birthday banquet yesterday, who doesn't know about this?"

As he spoke, he walked over to the eldest lady and stood side by side with her. It's a pity that he is still young, and he is half a head shorter than the eldest lady......

Li Xianyuan looked up at the side of the eldest lady's face with a complicated expression. It was a good thing that his emotions gradually recovered, but at this time he would rather change back to his iceberg-like indifference.

"You disciple, what nonsense!" the eldest lady said in a low voice.

"The old lady once wanted to marry Wan'er to me. Li Xianyuan replied in a low voice.

He took advantage of it. Everyone present thought that Li Xianyuan was referring to the eldest lady, but it was actually Li Wan'er.

"Where did you come from, this is the Li family's business, what does it have to do with you!" The eldest lady opened her mouth and was about to ask for details, when a thin man in his forties and fifties suddenly got up, pointed at the eldest lady and scolded: "Li Yujin, I think you are on good terms with this little concubine, you have forgotten your ancestors, and you want to monopolize the Li family's property!

Sing with a red face, and go on stage with a white face. Li Xianyuan raised his eyebrows, and his eyes turned slightly cold.

"You ......" was inexplicably splashed with sewage, and the eldest lady lost her composure. As soon as she spat out a word, a strong man rushed in outside the door.

This is what the thin man wants, so that he can use the topic to play. He snorted coldly: "What, do you want to blast out our relatives?"

Unexpectedly, the strong man ran straight past him, ignoring it, rolling up a gust of wind and running in front of Li Xianyuan, kneeling respectfully and clenching his fists.

"Master Li!"
