Remember for a second No pop-ups

"That's what I'm going to ask."

In the midst of the surging crowd, Ash laughed.

There was no surprise on his unusually handsome face, and his hoarse and strange voice was neither light nor heavy, and it clearly penetrated everyone's ears, "What kind of bad thing are you going to do when you close the door and don't let anyone leave?" ”

The voice seemed to have the power to stir people's emotions, and someone knocked on the door, and the door closed tightly, and there was no sign of half of it opening. Went to the window, where the man in the suit poked coldly, blocking out the daylight that wanted to peek into the lobby.

They looked back in amazement and saw Ash elegantly spread out his hands, folded them in front of him, slowly bent down, and made a very exaggerated salute.

"Are you showing people your power? I'm glad you succeeded. ”

Everyone couldn't help but follow Ash's movements and set their eyes on Qiao Weihuan.

They didn't know that the wave of people who rushed over first outside was Ash's, nor did they know what that group of people were going to do, they only knew that it was Qiao Weihuan who gave the order to close the door and trapped them here!

The next moment, the dissatisfaction and shock in the lobby could no longer be suppressed,

"There are so many people here, why are you suddenly closing, what do you want to do?!"

"I want to leave, please open the door immediately!"

"Yes, open the door!!"

Doubts and accusations poured over all over the place, if it weren't for the man in the suit standing behind Qiao Weihuan, they might rush over and pull her to open the door.

Ash still maintained a saluting posture, but Qiao Weihuan saw a cold ridicule in those deep sea-like eyes.

"You think I'm really crazy and want to kick them out with violence."

Ash's thin lips opened and closed and she said in a voice that only she could hear, "But to them, you are the one who is crazy." ”

Qiao Weihuan's curled up fingers and quietly wiped off the fine sweat in his palm.

Whether Ash is really crazy or fake, she can't let these people go wrong in the slightest, and she can't let these people leave......

"I'm so sorry for the frightening of you."

Qiao Weihuan straightened her back and straightened her face, "I don't mean to let you leave, and I sincerely hope that you will stay and be witnesses." “

The agitation subsided for a moment, and someone couldn't help but ask, "Witness...... What witnesses? ”

Qiao Weihuan folded his hands in front of him, and looked at the gentleman who spoke, "Witness to the results of the family council." ”

There was a gasp of cold air, and the room was stunned.

Family Council ...... Demville's?

After being shocked, the people of the Nabo family reminded euphemistically: "I think this is probably not appropriate, the family council in Demville has never been involved by outsiders. ”

Qiao Weihuan smiled, "Just like Ash said, the law to be followed can be broken, since you have come to the manor and have decided to start the council without the duke present, then I think another law can also be changed." ”

The man coughed, and his face was very delicate.

Strictly speaking, these two rules are conventional, and the Duke of Demville and the heir to the family have always been the highest-ranking people in the family, and it is natural for them to preside over the council. However, the core of the council really cannot be said to revolve around the duke alone, so when Ashe asked for a council, and it was also a council about whether to keep the title, they came to the manor as a matter of course.

They clearly know that the irresolvable contradiction between the Duke and Ash is not mixed with an objective and fair position, and they conscientiously maintain the ability of the family council.

Now because Ash closed half of his eyes, he should also close half of his eyes for the duke......

The family side was silent and acquiesced.

Qiao Weihuan knew that these people didn't dare to say anything to death, so he smiled at them unexpectedly, and then looked at the others, "I want to know, are you willing?" ”

The crowd was silent for a long time, and then someone raised his hand weakly: "I do." ”

Demville's family council, I was lucky enough to participate once, and I could blow it for years when I went back!

The servants were very discerning, and quickly moved the chairs that had been prepared long ago to the lobby, so that everyone had a place to sit, and did not give them a chance to consider refusal.

Amid the low sound of chattering and the sound of a wheelchair scraping against the floor tiles, Ash slowly straightened up.

The servant moved the chair behind him, "Mr. Ashe." ”

Ash didn't move, his eyes didn't droop and he raised his cane back, the tip of the bottom pressed against the leg of the chair.

The servants couldn't advance or retreat, and beads of sweat fell.

Just when she was about to lose the pressure of the chair and the double pressure from Ash, the silver cane suddenly retracted.

"Unexpected development ......"

Qiao Weihuan heard Ash's strange voice, turned his head, and caught a glimpse of his pale fingers that looked like they had been brushed with opaque paint.

"Do you know why I didn't stop you?"

Outside the lobby.

Thick walls cut out all sounds, and the men in suits and Ash's wave of men were in a stalemate outside the building.

No one dared to really do it, and they were afraid of causing trouble to the one behind them.

Suddenly, a sharp female voice came from the door, and the two groups of people didn't raise their eyes, and they still stared at each other......

Vivien didn't see the atmosphere between the two groups, just looked at the bustling cars outside, and knew that it was true.

Cecil actually invited the nobles of Manchester to the manor, but she also missed the Xu family, she did it on purpose!

If she hadn't heard about it from someone else, Vivien wouldn't have known that Cecil could be so shameless!

Her brain circuit was strange to think that Qiao Weihuan came here just to disgust her, and rushed inward not to be outdone.

The servant guarding the door stopped her as usual, and Vivien was so angry that she smashed her bag and shouted angrily, "Why don't you fools let me in?" Fuck off, fuck me off!! ”

However, no matter how Vivien spilled, no one moved an inch and stopped her silently.

Vivien blushed with a pretty face, took off her shoes and threw them into the manor, "Cecil, get out of here!" ”

The people in the lobby couldn't hear the outside at all, and they were looking ahead intently.

Behind the round table, the thirteen family members sat upright, also looking at each other.

Ash was the only one in the audience who did not sit down, and he stood in front of him slenderly, and said unhurriedly, "Everyone, you must be very curious about the reason for convening the family council...... I am honored to announce that there is a statement about my previous renunciation of my title, which is false. ”

The audience was in an uproar.

This matter has spread in the aristocratic circle, and even the people in the family thought that Ash was going to give up the title before opening the family council, but he didn't expect him to give it first?

The buzzing discussion resumed, and the family members behind the round table were shaken and did not react for a long time.

Qiao Weihuan sat in the middle of the round table, his thumb touching the ring ring on his ring finger.

"Mr. Ashe." Her voice quieted the lobby slightly, "It's not up to you to decide. ”

Ash slowly leaned on his cane and looked sideways at Qiao Weihuan.

"So I convened a family council."

His nose was sharp, the corners of his lips were unbridled and wanton, and his cold-toned eyes turned half a circle along the round table, but nothing came into his eyes.

He didn't take these people seriously, including Qiao Weihuan.

It's just that the limelight will make him feel real, and he enjoys the moment.

"Then you should have asked the family's opinion."

Qiao Weihuan looked at the others, and after those people looked at each other, they seemed to have reached a consensus.

"I think it's a good thing that Ashe doesn't give up his knighthood."

"For the sake of the family's reputation, Ash really shouldn't give up his title."

"I think so, too."

Qiao Weihuan stopped moving, "According to the 'Nobility Title Law', a person who gives up his title is equivalent to giving up the qualification to be honored again in the future. Ash has openly entered and exited the House of Commons and declared his renunciation of his title by act, in this case, should the family still agree to keep his title? ”

There was silence at the round table.

This is true, but when it comes to the positions of the House of Lords and the House of Commons, the subtlety is difficult to describe in words. Ash walked around the House of Commons and didn't say "give up" in person, and Qiao Weihuan didn't say it very clearly, they didn't know what to say for a while.

"Beautiful lady, you know the 'Nobility Title Law', so don't you know that the renunciation of the title can only be established by my own declaration?"

Ash lowered his eyes, "Or do you want to unilaterally erase my honor without the Queen's consent?" ”

Qiao Wei looked at him with a stunned face, and said in a cold voice: "You don't need to deliberately induce, before you get the queen's consent, you need to decide whether you can still retain the title through the family council." ”

Ash shrugged his shoulders slightly, "But people don't want me to give up, you see." ”

He's right.

The last time the queen bestowed the honor of hereditary nobility was thirty years ago, and these years have been conferred on lifelong nobles who cannot be inherited, but the queen's conferment is decreasing, and the nobility is becoming rarer. Letting Ashe retain the title is indeed equivalent to retaining an honor for the family.

So the people of the family nodded at this moment.

"If the content of the council this time is only whether Ash's title will be retained or not, then I have already made a decision to agree that Ash will retain the title."

"I don't agree."

Qiao Wei stood up happily and pulled all his eyes to his body.

"Ashe's actions are there for all to see, and I'm sure you know what it means better than I do. If you keep the title of Ashe, it is not an honor, it is a curse. ”

Most of the people had already said this in a fog, but the people of the family instantly understood that Qiao Weihuan was alluding to the secret fight that Ash had provoked internally.

However, Ash himself just laughed, he slowly paced next to Qiao Weihuan, bent down slightly, the tip of his nose brushed the naughty strands of her sideburns, and lowered his voice and said: "It's not appropriate to mention this in the family council, you can actually discuss it with me in private, I'm very happy." ”

In the eyes of others, it was as if he and Qiao Weihuan were whispering very intimately.
