Chapter 177: New Patriarch
When Ye Yuhan returned to the inn, it was already evening.
As soon as he entered the door, Ruoyun immediately greeted him, looking Ye Yuhan up and down: "Niangniang, where have you been?" Are there any injuries? ”
Ruoyun's chattering appearance, Ye Yuhan was not annoyed, but explained lightly: "I'm fine, just go out for a walk." ”
Walked around? An afternoon away?
Of course, Ruoyun won't say this, and she can only be confused when she understands it, and she doesn't want to say it, so no matter how much she asks, it's in vain.
"Niangniang, I went to inquire about the affairs of the Shangguan Mansion today, it seems that it is indeed the eldest master who has died, and they will elect a new patriarch in the near future!"
Ruoyun remembered what he found today, and said slowly.
Ye Yuhan was silent.
In Hucheng, the Shangguan family and the Bai family are evenly matched, although in recent years, the Shangguan family has gradually expanded, but it has not yet reached the point where one is dominant, and the most important role in this is to override the two major families, the establishment of a power system.
The Shangguan family and the Bai family respectively elected the big boss as the patriarch, and usually the two families seem to have nothing to do with each other, but when it comes to the interests of the two families, they can't negotiate privately, so they will hand it over to the patriarch, and there are other people below the patriarch.
It is equivalent to breaking away from the two families, but managing the two at all times.
Therefore, the patriarch is the one who is really in power.
Now that the patriarch of the Shangguan family is dead, a new patriarch will inevitably be elected, and the one with the best chance of sitting on the patriarch's position in the Shangguan Mansion is the second master, Shangguan Jian!
However, the election will be held under the joint witness of the two families, and the time will be tomorrow at noon, in the manor of the Shangguan Mansion, and the audience will be from the Shangguan Mansion and the White Mansion.
After listening to Ruoyun's words, Ye Yuhan became even more silent.
"Niangniang, what are you thinking?"
Ruoyun shouted softly, his eyes full of worry.
Ye Yuhan came back to his senses, then wiped away all the emotions on his face, and said lightly: "It's nothing!" ”
"Mother, when are we going back? Uncle Six Emperors has already sent a letter, let's go home as soon as possible! ”
Ruoyun hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but say.
As soon as the Sixth Emperor Uncle was mentioned, Ye Yuhan remembered that they seemed to have been away from Mocheng for several days, but there was no movement from the Sixth Emperor Uncle's side, and according to her understanding, it was estimated that he had not returned to Mocheng.
"What are you going to do back home? Why didn't he come in person? ”
Ye Yuhan asked rhetorically.
Ruoyun was silent for a moment, and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
The Sixth Emperor Uncle is not in the house at all, so isn't it a goof?
"Uncle Six Emperors is not in the house!"
The night rain and cold said slowly, and directly said the words from the bottom of Ruoyun's heart.
Ruoyun was startled, staring at Ye Yuhan in disbelief, and his expression seemed to say, how did you know?
"You told me!"
Ye Yuhan smiled.
……
This night, Ye Yuhan slept very early, just to attend tomorrow's ceremony.
In the early morning of the next day, Ye Yuhan wanted to pretend to be someone from Shangguan's Mansion to sneak into the manor, but she found that she couldn't get in at all, because people not only had to see people, but also had invitations.
Coincidentally, she didn't have anything!
Just as she was about to sneak in, a familiar figure approached slowly, still waving at her.
"Little fairy! Why are you so fast? Didn't you wait for me? ”
This voice made Ye Yuhan shudder, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently, but he didn't make a sound.
Ruoyun stood beside her and saw a man with an unattractive appearance walking towards Ye Yuhan, and couldn't help but wonder: "Do you know this person?" ”
