Xue Ling vaguely remembered that his uncle seemed to have said something similar.

However, unlike now, at that time, she didn't know how to answer, just hung her head and was silent.

The uncle did not wait for her reply, and finally only sighed heavily.

Later, the situation gradually got out of control, and the Jiang family withdrew, but she was already deep in the mud and couldn't get out.

Xue Ling thought about the past, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, at that time, to his uncle, he was like a dou who couldn't be helped.

When she thinks about it now, she can't help but laugh dumbly.

Maybe it's because of the suffering of the previous life that has tempered her body and mind. has made her what she is now.

Every hardship in life, in fact, is not in vain.

One day, what a person has experienced will be presented to him as a force.

It's a pity that the price of growth is too great,

With such a big price, she didn't dare to bear it a second time.

In order not to repeat the mistakes of the past, she must be thoughtful at every step.

Xue Ling raised her head, her voice firm, "Uncle, I took the initiative to deal with this matter. ”

Jiang Mingxu looked at her carefully, the niece in front of her did not have any doubts, her voice was resolute, her expression was firm, and it was not like she was insincere.

His hanging heart finally fell a little, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "I didn't expect that there would be a successor in the future, if he knew underground, he could also smile at Jiuquan." ”

When Xue Ling heard his uncle mention his father, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart and said, "Uncle, why do you say this?" ”

Jiang Mingxu didn't speak again, just pushed open the door of the study, and said casually, "Ah Ling, you sit first." ”

Xue Ling was not in a hurry, but sat down quietly.

The study room was very warm.

The little girl put on the tea and quietly withdrew.

Jiang Mingxu walked to the middle of the study and pulled out a book.

Xue Ling was a little puzzled, but he didn't make a sound.

After Jiang Mingxu took the book, he sat down at the desk next to Xue Ling and opened the book.

Inside was an envelope, and he handed it to Xue Ling.

"Ah Ling, open it and take a look."

Xue Ling took a breath, and suddenly a panic appeared in his heart.

What was inside, she had vaguely guessed, and opened the envelope with some trembling.

There are only two pages of stationery in it.

Really.

Familiar handwriting came into view, the handwriting was not ordinary, and there was hesitation in the strokes.

But Xue Ling could almost recognize it at a glance as his father's handwriting.

She looked closely.

I saw it written on the envelope.

Brother-in-law:

Now that I am terminally ill, I am lingering on the sickbed, but I don't worry about my wife and daughter, please ask my uncle to think of my relatives and take care of them.

I have repeatedly deduced that the next head of the Xue family must be Ah Ling, but unfortunately I lack the skills to return to the sky, and I can't plan for her, if she passively responds to the position of the head of the family, please take care of her brother, I hope she can live a safe life, if she takes the initiative to respond to this matter, please support her uncle, do not ask the Xue family to be rich and prosperous for a long time, only look forward to a lineage, not to be cut off.

Send it away.

Just a letter.

A layer of mist unconsciously appeared in Xue Ling's eyes, and the tears kept interrupting, but they could never fall.

She guessed that her father might have deduced that she would be the next head of the family, and at this point, it was finally confirmed.

It's just that she didn't expect her father to write such a letter to her uncle.

However, my father was terminally ill at the time, and it should not be possible to speculate more.

Xue Ling remembered what his uncle had said in his previous life when he announced his retirement from the witch doctor family in the witch doctor hall, "Ah Ling, are you really not going with us?" If you don't leave today, you won't be able to get out tomorrow. ”

Xue Ling shook his head, "I can't get out now, I was born in the Xue family, I grew up in the Xue family, and I left with my uncle today. ”

When my uncle was leaving, he just shook his head, "In this situation, my Jiang family can only be forced to leave, Ah Ling, I also have the lives of a large family hanging behind me, and I can't protect you after all." ”

At that time, she only felt so sad and guilty as an uncle because of the blood relationship between her uncle and nephew, and she didn't know that there was also her father's instructions before his death.

But the past is in the past.

Xue Ling blinked, the tears in his eyes finally slowly dissipated, and his voice became clearer and firmer, "Uncle, I took the initiative to assume the position of the head of the family, I have already thought about how to go next, and I am ready to take on everything, uncle rest assured." ”

Xue Ling put away the letter paper in his hand, folded it, and put it in the envelope.

"Okay, good," Jiang Mingxu nodded, relieved, "Ah Ling really has some ambitions, don't worry, I will definitely assist you as an uncle, after the beginning of spring, it will be the annual witch doctor exam, Ah Ling, how sure are you?" If I'm not mistaken, you will not be able to take over as the head of the family until you officially become a witch doctor. ”

Xue Ling said, "If I am not half sure, I will naturally not take the initiative to deal with the matter of the head of the family, and my uncle does not have to worry." ”

Jiang Mingxu sighed and said, "This year's choice of the witch master will be more special, and now several other masters are also paying attention to the movements of your Xue family, your clan is always an old fox, since the He clan chose you to be the head of the family, naturally they all have their own selfish intentions, Ah Ling, I have thought about it, there are good and bad." I'd like to hear your thoughts first, though. ”

Xue Ling said slowly, "The meaning of the Xue family is very obvious, I am a female streamer, and a junior, when the day the witch master chooses, the uncles and seniors of the other three major families will think that for the sake of me being a little woman, the net will be open, and the Xue family can at least keep some reputation at that time, which is the most stable method for the Xue family now." ”

Jiang Mingxu nodded and said, "Yes, but for you, at this moment, you must gain a firm foothold in the Xue family within five months, so that after the selection of the witch master, even if your uncles want to move you, it will not be so simple." ”

Jiang Mingxu casually took out a piece of rice paper, made a list, and put it on the table, "Now the Xue family has real power, and it is the five people on it." ”

Xue Ling looked over, and it was actually the same as she thought.

There were three ancestors and two uncles,

The three ancestors are the three younger brothers of Xue Ling's grandfather.

Although the second uncle and grandfather Xue Chengjing are concubines, they are the oldest and are old-fashioned and decent. is highly respected in the Xue family and has some right to speak.

But Xue Chengjing has always attached more importance to the third room.

The fourth uncle and grandfather are also concubines, and they have two rooms and one hill, and they are very profitable.

And the youngest uncle Xue Chengxiao and his grandfather are compatriots of the same mother, and they don't care much about these things on weekdays, but their identities are present, and when they talk, no one dares to refute them.

Jiang Mingxu pointed to the first name, "This Xue Chengjing is the most important among the elders of your Xue family, and now he has the highest status, but this person is too old-fashioned, if you want to win over, you must prove it to him, as long as you have the strength, he will definitely support you for the sake of the family." ”
