Early in the morning, in the royal hall, the monthly family meeting was held as usual.

A thin figure knelt at the entrance of the hall, while the second uncle Wang Tianyu, who was in charge of family affairs, stood beside him with an iron face. Many children of the Wang family gathered outside the hall, and there were many discussions when they saw this scene.

"What's wrong with this kid?"

"I heard that he lost the Flying Dragon Jade Pendant. ”

"What, this is the treasure of the family! This waste takes up a lot of resources, and it doesn't make trouble when it grows a little! ”

The kneeling young man is named Wang Xiaoyi, the eldest son and grandson of the Wang family, one of the three major families in Hengsha County. The young man looked handsome and delicate, but his face was pale, his eyes were full of worry, his brows were furrowed, and a little gray hair crept out of his temples. Dozens of taunts were even projected onto him with a hint of schadenfreude, unaware of it.

Knock knock!

As the drums sounded, the Wang family boiled and quickly assembled, and everyone stared sideways at the entrance of the hall.

The old man and his wife of the Wang family have been in retreat for a while, and their smooth exit directly determines the status of the Wang family in Hengsha. The sound of the royal drum every two times indicates the end of the retreat.

Sure enough, da-da!

There was a sound of low footsteps, and in the blink of an eye, I saw Mrs. Tai, the host of the Wang family, walking slowly over and sitting in the main seat of the hall. She is not tall and thin, but her eyes are very bright and bright, but all the descendants of the Wang family who look at her automatically avoid it. Although he deliberately restrained his true anger, the whole person was not angry and arrogant.

Old man Wang walked vigorously, and his posture was tall and majestic. The face of the Chinese character, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a flowing beard swaying in the wind. There are more wrinkles on the face, but the spirit is strong.

Standing in the front row of the hall are the four brothers of the second generation of Wang Tianyu, followed by the third generation of the Wang family, followed by women and children, and the servants are waiting in the side hall. Mr. and Mrs. Wang looked at the children and grandchildren in the room with a smile, their faces were radiant, their complexions were good, and they seemed to have improved a lot.

"Congratulations to my father and mother on my great increase in skills!" Wang Tianyu was the first to bow down on his knees, followed by many children of the Wang family who responded: "Congratulations to my father and mother (grandparents) for their great strength!"

"Get up, we have gained something from this retreat, but we are even more relieved to see you all alive. The old man smiled and raised his hand and motioned for everyone to get up, but no one noticed the sorrow that flashed between his eyebrows.

"Hey, why is Xiao Yi still kneeling, hurry up. Come, come to grandma, let grandma take a good look, I haven't seen it for a few days, and I've lost weight. The old lady looked at the only figure in the crowd who did not get up, and said softly, her eyebrows full of love and distress.

The descendants of the Wang family, she is loved, although sometimes harsh, but she does her best to cultivate them, and can even sacrifice her own life.

And the single figure in front of her is her favorite grandson, looking at him, like the warm sun shining into her heart, no matter how cold the winter feels, no matter how sad it is, it will disappear. No matter how big a mistake he makes or how big a disaster he makes, she can turn a blind eye and ignore it.

For a long time, Xiao Yi was still kneeling quietly, his palms clenched tightly, his body trembling slightly, who could see his lowered eyes full of tears. His dear and kind grandmother, he wanted to hold her hand eagerly, look at her a few times, and say a few words of kindness.

But he was so ashamed that he didn't even dare to look up, and he couldn't meet the eager and loving eyes.

"Mother, I was derelict in my duty and ineffective in discipline. Xiao Yi colluded with outsiders to steal the jade pendant of the flying dragon at home, and now the jade pendant has fallen into the hands of others. Wang Tianyu bowed down and said, his face was five points similar to Old Man Wang, but his expression was even more cold, and at this moment, there was a cold light in his eyes.

Since Mr. and Mrs. Wang often need to retreat, family affairs are gradually handed over to the second eldest Wang Tianyu. It was he who came out and accepted the crime of dereliction of duty.

Although everyone had heard about it before, it still caused an uproar and put Xiao Yi in a desperate situation.

Collusion with outsiders and theft of treasures is a great crime of treason, and the crime is unforgivable!

"I didn't betray the family!" Xiao Yi finally couldn't help but argue angrily when he heard this. The bloodshot eyes looked at the second uncle not far away, and the second uncle didn't like him, he knew it in his heart. His eyes glanced around, all of his brothers were full of contempt, and then he turned his gaze to the center of the hall to meet the loving gaze, and his heart trembled, and he bowed his head in shame.

After all, he lost the Flying Dragon Jade Pendant, which is a capital offense, for whatever reason.

"You still said no, the jade pendant is kept in the Moon Pavilion, someone saw you go in and out, and even saw that the jade pendant finally passed by your hand, but now it is gone. ”

"The Flying Dragon Jade Pendant is the heirloom of our Wang family, as a symbol of the identity of the heir of our Wang family, it was actually lost by Xiao Yi, and it really shouldn't be spared. ”

"Xiao Yi is too ignorant. Usually it's just a matter of spending a lot of time drinking, but this time it's a big matter, and it's really a big hidden danger. ”

......

The regular meeting of the whole family has become Xiao Yi's criticism meeting.

"Xiao Yi, be good, it's okay. You stand up. Mrs. Tai said softly, raising her hand to signal Xiao Yi to get up. The eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, full of love. At this time, the old man's face glowed with a strange flush, like a flower in full bloom.

Only the corners of Old Man Wang's eyes twitched from time to time, and his eyes were always focused on his wife.

"Mother, you are too used to Xiao Yi. Wang Tianyu spoke again in a cold voice.

Mrs. Tai slowly stood up, stared at Wang Tianyu and said slowly: "What's the matter, the old body spoils my own grandson and gets in the way of you?"

"Are you all finished, look at the way you fall into the well one by one, do you have a little uncle and nephew affection, if Xiao Yi's father is still there, will you say that?" Mrs. Tai stared at Wang Tianyu and them, her face flushed like the sunset on the horizon, and her chest trembled slightly because of excitement, "Is there any brotherhood" turned his head and looked at the third generation of the Wang family, and everyone who watched did not dare to say much.

"Do you think we're old and confused, and we don't know what you usually do to Xiao Yi?"

"Do you think it's the heirloom of the Wang family, and Xiao Yi lost it, and the crime is very evil?"

"Hehe, let me tell you, there is no one here who can accuse Xiao Yi of losing the jade pendant. Including you, including you, including all of us here. None of you are qualified!" Mrs. Tai pointed to everyone in the audience one by one, revealing a shocking secret of the Wang family, "Because this jade pendant itself was brought by Xiao Yi's mother! ”

"Ahh

Everyone who said this was shocked, and they always thought that the Flying Dragon Jade Pendant was handed down by the older generation of the Wang family. And Xiao Yi is also the first time to hear about it, he rarely even hears the family mention her mother, every time he asks, his father and grandmother say that he will know when he is older.

"Old woman, let's take a break, I'll talk about it next. The old man also stood up from the main seat, walked over to the lady, and helped her to the main seat.

"I think at the beginning, the two of us came to Hengsha County, laid a foundation with our bare hands, and then gave birth to children and took root in this place, and slowly you also grew up. But your mother suffers from an old illness that sometimes gets better and sometimes relapses. Later, the eldest went out and brought back Xiao Yi and his mother. When his mother learned that your mother was suffering from an old illness, she took out a piece of jade pendant, which was the Flying Dragon Jade Pendant, and let us use it during our retreat. I never thought that it was really effective, our old disease slowly improved, and we have been making great progress because of this Flying Dragon Jade Pendant skill. Xiao Yi's mother didn't want to be known by outsiders, so she claimed that it was a symbol of the royal family's inheritance, nothing more. ”

After speaking, the old man sighed heavily.

Everyone was silent, and a noisy regular meeting ended silently.
