Wei Xiyin never thought of refusing.
She didn't think too much about it at first. She took the initiative to step forward and take over the mess because she wanted to save the Wei family for her grandfather, protect the clan land for the eldest branch, and provide the clan members with a place to live normally.
Later, she wanted to find her relatives and those tribesmen who were scattered outside.
In order to have enough strength to fight the zombies and leave Yizhou, he began to look for and accept survivors, strive to increase the population, and even set his sights on Princess Zhongshan in order to borrow troops.
But as time went by, the scale of the fort became larger and larger.
The responsibility on her shoulders is no longer limited to her own thousand people...
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
Since when, everyone has been dependent on her for survival, and they have all become her responsibility.
She couldn't just give up everything and hide behind out of fear because of her brother-sister relationship.
"I have raised your brother under my wing for many years, training him as my heir. I know this best."
Seeing his granddaughter remained silent, Wei Ji slowly spoke, "Wei Jie is a gentle and kind child, respectful and polite to others, but she is indecisive, easily influenced by others, and easily influenced by others."
Talking about his eldest grandson.
Wei Ji's eyes flashed with pity, and he sighed, "He is a good child. In a peaceful and prosperous era, the Wei family should naturally be handed over to him."
"But in this world, the clan needs someone with courage, strategy and determination to make decisions. He obviously can't do it."
The grandson he raised knows it best.
"Your brother is not suitable."
Wei Xiyin listened silently, still without saying a word. After all, she was her brother who had loved her since childhood, so she had her own filter when looking at people.
Wei Lang, who was standing aside, had his eyes blinking and rolling around.
"Grandfather, are you going to give the official position to my sister?" Wei Lang knew that his grandfather was a very high-ranking official.
Erlang's childish words dispelled the serious atmosphere in the room.
Wei Ji was too lazy to pay attention to him. He said with a stern face, "There's nothing for you to do here. Go back to your yard and rest."
"Why?!" Wei Lang was unhappy and pouted, "Grandpa just came back and he was busy talking to my sister and ignored me."
Wei Ji was speechless.
"Erlang, be obedient."
Wei Xiyin also felt helpless and turned to look at her brother. "Grandfather and elder sister are discussing business. Go back to sleep and come back later."
Wei Lang immediately became obedient.
But he looked angry, thinking that his grandfather and elder sister did not value him, so he stood up and walked out.
As the door opened, strong wind mixed with fine snow drifted in.
There is a screen at the door to block the water from entering the house.
It was just that Erlang interrupted me.
"Where were we talking just now?" Wei Ji sat cross-legged on the couch, rubbing his eyebrows with his hand.
Wei Xiyin: "Speaking of brother is not appropriate."
Wei Ji nodded and continued the previous topic, "It is rare for you to be recognized by the tribe as a woman. I have made up my mind, so there is no need to postpone it."
"My granddaughter didn't refuse."
Wei Xiyin stood up and bowed solemnly towards the couch. "My granddaughter is just thinking about the heavy responsibility on my shoulders. I hope that grandfather will be in good health and live a long life. I hope you will always be there to give me guidance."
She understood it in her heart and also had her own long-cherished wish.
Apart from finding my parents and brother, those zombies... shouldn't exist in this world.
Wei Ji nodded with satisfaction, "That's good."
He instructed Uncle Wu, "Send someone to call Mingze and the others over. The succession ceremony will be held in the next few days."
"Yes." Uncle Wu bowed and left to make arrangements.
Wei Xiyin looked at Uncle Wu's hunched back, thought for a moment, and said, "Grandfather, Uncle Wu is old, and the weather is unusual right now. His health is not as good as before. It's better to let him rest at home from now on."
Wei Ji glanced at her and said, "He is a person who can't sit still. If you don't believe me, go and talk to him yourself."
Wei Xiyin understood what he said. She thought her grandfather had already mentioned it, but Uncle Wu had not agreed.
At this time, a servant came to report outside.
"Master, young lady, the eldest and sixth ladies are here to pay their respects to the master."
Wei Ji: "It's cold outside, let them in."
"yes."
Wei Xirou and Wei Xiyao soon arrived at the main courtyard.
When the two came in, their eyes were red and they didn't look very well.
As soon as they entered the fort, their aunts and sisters from the clan rushed over when they learned they were back.
When the relatives got together, they hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Afterwards, Doctor Kang came over and examined the two children, so there was some delay.
Wei Xirou and Wei Xiyao packed up quickly and, not daring to delay any longer, left the child in the care of the female relatives and rushed over to pay their respects to the clan leader.
Unexpectedly, Dong Zhiyao also came to the old house.
It was Dong Zhiyao who suggested it himself, "Since we have come to the Wei family's fortress, we should naturally go and pay our respects to Lord Wei first."
Wei Xiyao felt that what Uncle Dong said made sense.
He could not hide the fact that he had saved the two sisters' lives, and he had to report it to the clan leader first.
But Dong Zhiyao was an outsider after all. After entering the old house, he stood outside and waited for Duke Wei to summon him.
He always has to wait until others have finished their family discussions before it is his turn.
It's windy outside.
Uncle Wu asked his servant to take people to the next room.
"Go in first, strong man, and have a rest and drink some hot tea."
The two sisters had already entered the house.
As soon as they came in, Wei Xirou and Wei Xiyao bowed their heads and kowtowed heavily, "We are nieces and nephews who come to pay our respects to the clan leader. Thank you for your concern." They had just cried, and their voices were still a little hoarse.
Wei Ji sighed heavily upon seeing this.
"Let's all stand up and talk first."
