The speed of post-war reconstruction was not fast, and there were many more ruined places in the Mengli family's residence than in non-ruined places, but although the lowly ones had a worse life, the noble still had a comfortable place to live, and Alice, the acting head of the family, was lying on a comfortable pink bed and half asleep.

"Miss, the interests of the family are the most important, isn't that right?"

"The only head of the Mengli family can only be me, and I have to make these choices in the face of the interests of the family, you all die!"

The chief housekeeper's eyes were apologetic to her and uneasy about the Mengli family.

......

Alice slowly woke up, with no one around her to serve her, and she returned to her habits of living with her orc parents and took care of herself.

Brushing her teeth and washing her face, dressing up, and putting on formal clothes, Alice, like an adult, walked gently through the aisle that still showed obvious traces of fire, and went to the hall of the family council, where she met many new servants along the way. These servants were taken in the name of the slave trade of the Mengli family, and when they saw Alice, they all quickly knelt down and saluted, and the expressions on their faces were extremely frightened.

Alice felt a lingering sense of guilt as she watched these people kneel down to her, she had lived in the lower classes for many years, and for a long time she had hated class exploitation.

In the past, she didn't understand the head housekeeper's statement about human trafficking, is the family's interests really that important? Even now, she still dislikes the slave trade industry of the Mengli family very, very much, to understand it, she hates it.

In the council hall of the Mengli family, the uncle who didn't often go back to the family finally returned, he didn't come back before because he felt that there was always something wrong with the Lund pretended by Rondo, although he didn't know the truth but he was still scared, so he used the excuse of traveling all over the world not to stay in the family often.

Alice's cousins and cousins also came, and they were all about the same age as Alice, but the panic in their eyes could not be concealed, and the look of fear made them denied by the housekeepers and deacons present. Alice was already the acting head of the family at this time, although Alice's uncle had some other ideas, such as supporting his own children to ascend to the throne. But after thinking carefully about the abilities of Alice and the other two children, as well as the current situation of the Mengli family, he finally gave up on the idea of supporting his own children.

These days, the post-war reconstruction work is going relatively smoothly, because they have the support of the Bernard family, and it is Alice who convinces the old enemy Leonard to work together. The Celtic family was annexed by the two of them, and the Morey family, who wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight to achieve their own ambitions, quietly collapsed under the alliance of Alice and Leonard. After these few days, whether in terms of blood or ability, Alice was recognized by the existing people of the Mengli family.

"As the head of the family, I hope to have everyone's trust and support, and the interests of the family can only be safeguarded by the concerted efforts of all members of the family. Our Mengli family has experienced many ups and downs and faced many disasters in the past hundred years, but I think that as long as everyone at this time can entrust their lives to me, then this crisis will not shake the foundation of our family. After Alice finished speaking, she bowed to everyone present without hesitation.

No one returned the salute, no one was afraid, they just asked a question.

"Acting family master, there is a question I want to ask you, I have heard one thing myself, that is, you do not like the family's slave trading business very much, will you gradually reduce the family's inheritance in the future?"

It didn't matter who asked the question, it was a question that everyone present wanted to ask, without exception, everyone was looking at Alice, their expressions and mood were a little uneasy and a little confused, they desperately needed Alice to give them confidence.

"There are things that are more important than life, or that is part of the lives of those of us who are in the upper class, and the power and honor of the family are the things that cause us to be feared and worried. Another point is that I don't think I'm going to die here, little princess, if you can survive the havoc in Snowhaven, you should be able to understand a little. ”

Alice suddenly remembered Leonard's words, which made her close her eyes and think for a while. Outsiders thought that she persuaded Leonard, but they didn't know that Leonard took the initiative to fight with her, on the grounds that it was beneficial to the family.

"This year's slave trade industry will remain the same in terms of purchases and shipments, and the Mengli family will continue to maintain this industry, so I will not break this business rashly, so please rest assured. ”

"The head of the house is wise. Everyone was overjoyed and quietly changed the title of the acting head of the family to the head of the family.

Tomorrow, when the Mengli family returns to the top, it seems that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

At the same time, at the Bernard family, several of the sons of the old Bernard family were kneeling on the ground and shivering, and the noblest of them was a middle-aged man with a dagger in his hand.

Leonard sat on the seat of the head of the family unharmed, and saw him smile lightly: "What is the crime of assassinating the head of the family?"

"There is no mercy for killing. The guards present shouted in unison without exception, and the momentum was terrifying.

"Damn, you want to get rid of us like this, I thought these guards were with us, but I didn't expect them to be bought by you a long time ago!" The middle-aged man's face turned pale, he had been negotiating with these guards who were loyal to them for a long time in the past few days, intending to eradicate Leonard's family cancer in one fell swoop, but what he didn't expect was that this was just a set.

"You died because of your own greed and stupidity, and no one else is to blame. After Leonard finished speaking, the head of the family's guard jumped forward directly and cut off the middle-aged man's head with a knife in order to invite merit.

These heirs of the old master Bernard screamed in fright, some cursed and some begged for mercy, and the mess became a mess, Leonard smiled and said: "I only kill the first evil now, not the roots, because the family still needs you, if you swear allegiance to me, I can forgive you for assassinating me today." ”

The person who is second only to the middle-aged man is the most sensible, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "I am willing to be loyal to the head of the family, and hand over all my property, spare my life, spare my life." ”

The rest of the people also instantly understood the situation at this moment, and climbed up one after another to show their loyalty to Leonard, who looked at the stupid appearance of everyone and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"This generation of the Bernard family is a waste, and I don't know if there is anything to be made in the next generation of those children. ”

......

"Let's sail!"

The ship industry in Snow Port has returned to normal, and the big ship with the banner of the Mengli family has set sail and headed straight for the East China Sea!

"Lena, are you seasick?" Li Gongzhe looked at Lina, who was standing unsteadily on the side and her face was blue, and asked with some concern.

"It's a little, but it's okay, Mentor, why did you get better so quickly, aren't you seriously injured?" Lena crouched on the deck with a stomachache on her face.

"My current body is already comparable to a monster, especially the ability to recover, and I am a little skeptical now, even if I have broken my hands and feet, can I grow it. Li Gongzhe looked at his body and said to Lina, but he found that Lina was not listening to his answer.

Because Lena had fallen to the ground, her eyes rolling.

"Seasickness is very serious, and it looks like you're going to suffer a lot along the way. Li Gongzhe said helplessly.
