Chapter 1204: Bai Yiming's Crisis
Chapter 1204 Bai Yiming's Crisis Chen Shuci's face suddenly became a little unnatural. He also borrowed the corpse to resurrect the soul, so he seemed a little uncomfortable for a while.
Liang Xi coughed lightly and reminded Chen Shuci, so he stuck Bai Yiming and said: "What's going on, you tell me what happened, and what I can do to help you, it's okay you say it slowly, we are not in a hurry." β
Liang Xi said, and ordered the maid to change into new tea and pastries.
After taking a sip of the fragrant hot tea, Bai Yiming felt that his limbs were warm, and his spirit was not so nervous, so he continued: "Then I'll start from the beginning, here's how it goes." You all know that I'm the next heir of the Bai family, right?"
Liang Xi and Chen Shuci glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of the same thing as themselves in each other's eyes, so they nodded in unison and said, "And then?"
Bai Yiming was silent for a moment, and then said heavily: "Because of the third uncle's return, this plan that was originally set from the time I was born may have to be changed." β
"You mean to change the head of the family?" Chen Shuci said in surprise.
As a member of the Bai family in the past, I still know a lot about the change order of the head of the family.
Generally, unless there is a special circumstance such as the violent death of the head of the family, the change of the head of the family will be considered, otherwise it will not be changed.
After all, the head of the family is the leader of the Bai family, and as a spiritual leader, he can't change it at any time.
In the long history of the Bai family, there has never been a temporary replacement of the established head of the family.
Hearing Chen Shuci's words, Bai Yiming's face was very ugly, and he nodded and said, "Yes, this matter has been rumored three months ago, but I have always regarded it as a joke, and let my subordinates not talk nonsense." After all, this is related to the foundation of our Bai family, but the first thing the third uncle did after he came back this time was to clearly mention the matter of changing the head of the family, and there are even many people in the clan who think that the third uncle is much more suitable than me!"
Bai Yiming looked a little indignant: "Those who fell to the third uncle never had any objections before, but this time, I don't know why, they suddenly changed their minds, and they all brushed upside down." β
"That's it-" Liang Xi touched his chin and deliberately guessed, "Maybe it's because you are not old enough and qualified, so those people originally disagreed with you, but now that your third uncle has come forward, they have defected." β
"No, it won't. Bai Yiming shook his head and said, "This is exactly where I suspect." The family rules of our Bai family's selection of the head of the family stipulate that the choice of each head of the family is selected when the child is only one year old, and then he will be cultivated to the position of the head of the family, and there is no saying that whoever is older and who is older will be the head of the family, so there is no question of whether to accept or disobey, these people used to be normal, and they began to have objections to me, that is, three months ago, when the rumor that the third uncle was going to be the head of the family began to circulate. β
"Three months agoβ" Liang Xi silently counted the time in his heart, "At that time, I should have just come out from behind the Ancient Bronze Gate, is there any connection between this?"
Bai Yiming didn't know what Liang Xi was thinking, and thought that he was listening carefully to his words, so he continued: "Actually, I vaguely felt a little uneasy in my heart three months ago, but I didn't expect things to develop to this point, I suspect that the third uncle has grasped the handle of these people and used it to blackmail them, but the third uncle has been expanding his business outside for the past five years, and he is not at home all the year round, how did he get the handle of these people?"
Liang Xi didn't mention this question, he snapped his fingers and said, "Go on." β
"Hmm. Bai Yiming took a sip of tea, and said with a look of displeasure on his face, "Actually, I wanted to ask you for help before, this time the third uncle is bound to win, I always feel that he has another purpose, the head of the family is not a child's play, and he must not be allowed to do anything wrong." β
"But what can we do?" Chen Shuci asked suspiciously, "It's not good to get involved in other people's family affairs." β
Bai Yiming shook his head: "No, only Liang Xi can help me in this matter, and only Liang Xi has this ability." β
"Why?" Liang Xi blinked in confusion.
"I already said that. Bai Yiming seemed to be chilled, his body trembled slightly, and he said with his lips pinched, " I suspect that the third uncle is no longer the original third uncle, he is obsessed, from the third uncle's entourage I heard a news, the third uncle's personality became very abrupt, as if he lived in a certain town, that night after someone came to visit, the next day the third uncle's personality changed, people are getting thinner day by day, with a cyan between the eyebrows, to be honest, when the third uncle came back, I saw him for the first time, and I was also scared, fortunately I saw him during the day, if it was night, I was afraid that I would suspect that I had met a ghostοΌβ
Bai Yiming swallowed hard, and there was a look of fear in his eyes that could not be concealed.
can scare a person like him who has been cultivated as the head of the family since he was a child, and it is enough to see how frightened this third uncle is.
Bai Yiming took a few breaths to calm down, carefully took out a listening stone from his arms and said, "It is inconvenient for that entourage to come out with me to see you, so I recorded his words with the listening stone." β
Listening to a faint yellow color flashing on the wind stone, a not very clear voice came from it, the things told by the voice were not much different from what Bai Yiming had just said, but there was a sentence at the end that was heard very clearly: "I dare to swear, a group of us didn't see the visiting person come out of the room that day!"
Chen Shuci looked at Liang Xi with inquiring eyes, Liang Xi was also kneading his eyebrows and thinking, and after a while, he looked at Bai Yiming and asked, "How old is your third uncle now, and what is your name?"
Bai Yiming didn't know why Liang Xi suddenly asked this question, and after being stunned for a moment, he wondered: "Does this matter?" The third uncle should be in his eighties this year, and because he is properly maintained, he looks almost sixty years old. His name is Bai Zhanhuai. β
Because Bai Yiming was present, Liang Xi used his spiritual power to communicate directly with Bai Mufeng's soul in Chen Shuci's body: "Bai Zhanhuai, do you have an impression?"
Bai Zhanhuai...... Bai Zhanhuai ......" Chen Shuci frowned, obviously thinking hard, and after a long time, he shook his head lightly and said, "According to the age, when I was alive, he was either just born, or he was still a child, and there were thousands of people in the Bai family, and he was not very impressed, according to Bai Yiming, he should beβ"
Before Chen Shuci's words were finished, a beautiful civet maid from the Lingmao clan outside the door entered, and after coming to Liang Xi, Ying Ying bowed down and said: "Lord Qiqi, there are people outside who claim to be the entourage of Bai Zhanhuai of the Bai family, and I want to see you if I have something." β
