Chapter 178: General Affairs

But one thing that can be concluded is that the eldest grandson of the emperor has always had a lot of complaints about the witch doctor family, and in the previous life, because of the shirk of the major witch families in the south, it did give him a reason to justify the witch doctor.

At the same time, it also caused dissatisfaction in the emperor's heart.

Xue Ling had some doubts in her heart, Zeng Yi proposed to let her go, what was the reason for this.

She couldn't see what Zeng Yi was thinking in her heart.

Xue Ling sighed softly, since she was reborn, she has walked very smoothly until now, and every step has never been wrong.

But Zeng Yi's premature appearance was the biggest outlier in all her plans.

She wanted to know what Zeng Yi's purpose was and what she wanted to do.

Xue Ling was distracted, and Mrs. Xue asked, "Ah Ling, what do you want?" ”

"Grandmother, don't worry, I'll take good care of myself." Xue Ling came back to her senses and said with relief.

Old Madam Xue reached out, stroked her hair, and looked at Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue sat on the side, looking at Xue Ling, the reluctance in his eyes was hidden, and at such a glance, he only saw a face full of relief and encouragement.

But Mrs. Xue, who was a passer-by, still saw at a glance the sourness hidden behind this encouragement.

When her husband dies, the child in the palm of her hand is forced to grow up and begin to take on the responsibilities of a family.

No one knows the feeling of being a mother better than Mrs. Xue.

Sad, gratifying, intertwined with various emotions, what is presented to everyone can only be everyone's demeanor.

The sourness of each species is known only to oneself.

"Erxing Qianli's mother is worried, although your mother didn't say it, I also know that she is very worried about you, but, Ah Ling is older, since the path you take is different from that of the boudoir woman, we can't confine you in the backyard, just go out, remember to take good care of yourself."

After saying this, the smile on Jiang Yue's face paused for a moment before he continued, "If there is anything, remember to discuss it with your cousin, Ah Ling has grown up, and I am very happy." ”

Xue Ling responded one by one.

Jiang Yue's eyes were a little sour, so she got up and said, "Mother-in-law and Ah Ling are talking, and I'll go and pack some clothes for her." ”

Xue Ling looked at her mother's distant back.

The mother has a sassy posture and pays great attention to her demeanor, but in the past few months, the back has been lonely, and she has gradually felt a little lonely.

She remembered her promise to her mother, three years at most, to give her the kind of life she wanted.

Xue Ling put away his mood, turned around, and said to Xue Jiman, "I'm tired of the third uncle to send someone to inform the clan elders, I will leave the city later, and I have some things to explain." ”

This is the first order given by Xue Ling after succeeding to the head of the family, Xue Jiman was still in a trance, and he was a little uncomfortable, but he still got up and did it.

The clan elders also heard about going to the Northland to support, but they didn't expect Xue Ling to actually give the order of the head of the family.

Xue Chengli met Xue Jihong at the door, and couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect the little girl to really look like the head of the family, you are not here today, I didn't see her like that, I really didn't expect that she would pick up the shelf of the head of the family so quickly, since she is so arrogant to recommend herself, don't affect our Xue family at that time." ”

Xue Jihong said, "Who said no, I was also worried at the time. ”

"Uncle and second uncle are too worried," Xue Ling's voice came from behind him.

"Even if I pray for rain and fail, everyone will only blame me for my young age, and will never blame the Xue family. But the Xue family, as a big family in Jiangling, doesn't even have the courage to take responsibility. Even if my father is alive, there is no reason to be a turtle with a shrunken head. ”

Xue Chengxiao stood aside, couldn't help nodding, this time he followed to Rongcheng as a judge, he saw with his own eyes Xue Ling's response was easy, compared to other clansmen, he admired Xue Ling's decisiveness very much, he was the first to stand up and echo, "I think Ah Ling is right, this time it is an order issued by the court, no matter what happens to the Xue family, before the new witch master is born, the Xue family is still ranked first among the four major families, we can't compare with the Qiu family and the Wu family, this matter is a major national matter, shirk responsibility, endless troubles, absolutely not." ”

Xue Chengli disagreed, "You have always loved her, so naturally you are towards this girl." ”

Xue Chengxiao did not back down from this brother, "I am indeed towards Ah Ling, because I followed a trip to Rongcheng this time, Ah Ling can afford to be the head of the Xue family regardless of knowledge and cultivation, or courage, I didn't deliberately compare it, Ah Yuan was framed this time, but he was in chaos and at a loss, and Ah Hao, I won't say more, the third child, this child is not very old, you have to teach well." ”

Xue Chengxiao has always spoken straightforwardly, and he has always been outspoken about the shortcomings of his juniors, but he is by no means a person who praises the high and the low, in fact, even if he doesn't say it, everyone will see that Xue Yuan and Xue Hao are indeed far inferior to Xue Ling.

This time Xue Yuan passed the witch doctor exam, originally Xue Jiman should have some confidence when he heard such words, but Xue Jiman was shocked, but he didn't dare to answer.

Xue Chengjing had never seen it with his own eyes, and everything was heard of it.

He compromised the opposing opinions of the two sides, "This matter has been decided, and there is no need to say any more." Ah Ling came to us, but what's the matter? ”

Xue Ling looked at Xue Jiman.

Xue Jiman's heart jumped, and he stepped forward and said, "I've been a little tired lately, and I always feel exhausted and overwhelmed, since Ah Ling has taken over the head of the family, the affairs I manage on my behalf will naturally have to be returned." ”

This sentence stunned all the people.

Everyone knows Xue Jiman's temperament, and he seems to be gentle and gentle, but he has never done such a voluntary retreat.

Then there is only one possibility, Xue Jiman was forced to hand over his chores.

And it was no one else who forced him to hand over his chores, it could only be Xue Ling.

For a moment, I was a little stunned by the change in the situation.

Even Xue Jihong was a little surprised.

And Xue Chengjing looked at Xue Ling thoughtfully.

This was the first time he had officially examined this niece and granddaughter, and even if he heard about what happened in Rongcheng, he always felt a little unbelievable because he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

However, now, he really feels that Xue Ling has a bit of courage and ability.

If it was the first time that Xue Jihong was forced to hand over the things in his hand, he still felt that it was Xue Jihong's own problem, then now, he is almost certain that it is no accident that Xue Ling can sit in this position.

Xue Chengjing sighed and said, "Ah Ling, what do you think of your third uncle's matter?" ”

When Xue Jiman heard this, his heart couldn't help but fall to the bottom, Xue Chengjing had always valued him very much, but this time he didn't speak for him.
