In the study.
Orders were passed down one after another in an orderly manner, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and tension.
An Zhenxiong pinched his brows, his fatigue hard to hide beneath his eyelids. "How's the situation in the living room?"
Zeng Liang said, "It's still putting pressure on the elders."
Those people will not stop until a new young master is appointed.
An Zhenxiong had a stern face, and both of them were tired of living.
"Let's go." He stood up and walked around the table towards the door.
Shi Che and his companions hurriedly followed.
The hall was crowded with people.
The elders were besieged from both sides.
Before he finished speaking, a clear and warm voice came from the door, cutting through the pitch-white night and exploding in everyone's ears.
The whole family was shocked by the sudden incident.
Unexpectedly, the woman showed no intention of restraining herself.
Before he could finish his words, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded outside the manor.
An Yiheng stared at me for a moment, a mocking expression on Gou Yanxiao's face. "While the head of this family was unconscious, he secretly incited members of the collateral family to rebel with him, and even colluded with the Colt family. Isn't that what he calls loyalty?"
The young master had just passed away, and they couldn't wait to covet his position. They were like stupid people, not even thinking that if the master knew about it, he would definitely not let them off easily.
Explosions were heard from inside.
"It's you, I'm talking nonsense." I admitted flatly, looking at An Yiheng slowly and anxiously, "Master, you can believe my lies. I am slandering you."
Amidst everyone's puzzled gazes, An Ci walked back slowly, one hand in his pocket, his beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed, his gaze moving with a hint of playfulness.
Eric crossed his arms over his chest and said in a serious tone, "Seventh Elder, don't be so angry. They always think they are sensible and want to drag others to die with them."
An Yiheng, "Send me to the execution hall."
"Great Elder, the dead cannot be resurrected. The young master is gone, and we can understand the grief the head of the family is feeling at the moment. But now this matter has caused a lot of uproar. If the head of the family does not have a new heir, who knows what rumors will spread outside." One of them said.
"Young elder, he who knows the current affairs is a hero. If they stand on your side, you and she will continue to stay in the Council of Elders." Eric looked at the elders, the smile on his lips gradually faded, and his eyes suddenly became sinister.
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted the agreement of others.
"Eric, he's a despicable guy." An Zhenxiong couldn't hold it in any longer and glared at Eric fiercely.
The Great Elder's ears hurt from their noise and he looked displeased.
A relaxed mood permeated the air outside the small hall.
"Besides, the head of the family is still unconscious. The An family doesn't even have a person to run the small bureau. If this gets out, the people in the village will think that there is someone in front of your An family. They will definitely bully your An family leader tomorrow."
"He also said that once he takes the position of Patriarch, he will hand over the subsidiary company in Zhongzhou to you. Does he dare to say that he actually said that?"
An Yiheng was also panicking, and his sharp gaze shot towards An Yide and his eight sons, "Did they do it?"
Kong Wan Ce sat down, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice, "Who was talking just now?"
"Yes, it was intentional. This wasn't unintentional." Kong Wance interrupted in a heated voice, "The head of this family is still alive, and he's already thinking about seizing power and usurping the throne. He's really capable."
Everyone turned their heads.
That voice...
An Zhenxiong was furious. He had seen people with shame, but he had never seen anyone so shameless.
Eric glanced inside the door and determined that the Colt family's reinforcements had arrived. He turned to look at An Yiheng and spoke more fearfully, "An Yiheng, hand over the family seal. You can't leave him with his body intact."
How can I wake up?
A deep and hot voice came from far away, containing the wrath of thunder.
"Bang."
Eric took a step back, meeting An Yiheng's gaze without fear, a smug smile on his face. "You're wrong, you did it, Patriarch. You were thinking about him. After all, An Ci is dead, and you now have an heir. It's only right for you to occupy the position of Patriarch, isn't it?"
Under the moonlight, a group of people walked out. An Yiheng walked behind, his expressionless face covered with a layer of frost, without the domineering aura of anger.
An Yiheng's expression changed as he looked at the others, "Are they on my side too?"
But this reaction from the elders was not what An Yiheng wanted to see.
"Ask yourself, apart from those of you, who is worse at studying and less capable than An Ci? Just because you were born into a bad family, the position of the Multi-Master is not yours. Why? Are you submitting to it?"
"What's going on?"
The sound, whether loud or small, echoed outside the small hall. We were all stupid, so we could naturally hear that An Yiheng's words were meant for us.
An Lan turned her head and buried her face in Song Xiunian's chest, crying silently.
"An Zhenxiong, you can't eat carelessly, but you can say careless things." Kong Wan Ce glanced at me and said in a guilty tone, "Everyone knows that the master's poisoning was caused by An Yangshang. What does it have to do with you?"
An Lan was still immersed in the joy of losing An Ci, her face pale. If Song Xiunian had supported you, you wouldn't have been able to stand there.
The middle-aged woman's heart was burning as she watched You Fei approaching me. I hardened my heart and said, "Master, it was Anyide who forced you to say that."
One, two...
"Who is cursing the head of this family?"
Eric sneered, "What's it to you? Who knows what kind of enemies An Ci has offended in there?"
"Are you telling the truth? If the direct lineage still doesn't have an heir, why would you bother coming down there every night?"
