It is no small matter to frame the elders. Not to mention Mrs. Shao, even their respective parents will not let them off easily! Shao Ya angrily covered Shao Ying's mouth and scolded in a low voice: "Are you crazy? What should be said and what should not be said, don't you know?"

Shao Ying finally realized that she had gone too far and quickly shut up.

Seeing that Shao Ying had taken her warning seriously, Shao Ya let go of her hand and said in a voice that everyone around could hear: "After the family meeting is over, you follow me to Great Grandma to receive your punishment."

"Oh, I see."

Seeing this, the people around no longer paid attention to the two sisters, but turned their attention back to Yun Mo.

Mrs. Shao and her son Shao Lin sang the same tune, presented facts and reasoned with each other, and used the excellence of their daughter (granddaughter) to block all the voices that tried to prevent Yun Mo from being included in the family tree.

Sun rises in the east and rain falls in the west.

The issue of Yun Mo being included in the family tree was resolved, and the clan elders started talking about Shao Lin's lifelong affairs.

It's just that as the head of the family, Shao Lin has to consider the overall situation and get married and have children as soon as possible to avoid the Shao family being left without a successor.

In the past, Shao Lin would have just said, "I haven't met a woman who can be the mistress of the Shao family and who shares my heart," and then would have blocked everyone away.

But today, he prepared a new excuse for the first time.

"I know that all of you uncles and aunts have good intentions and are worried about my personal affairs and the inheritance of the entire family. It is indeed my fault. I am over 40 and still single. My mother has been worried about me for so many years. As a son, I am really unfilial and unrighteous.

I am here today to make a promise to all of you and my mother. If I have not resolved my personal affairs and have no children before I am 45 years old, I will choose an outstanding nephew from among the young nephews in the family to be my heir. "

These words had a much greater impact than Yun Mo's life experience, and the roof of the entire ancestral hall was almost blown off.

People were whispering in groups of three or four, each with a different expression.

Yun Mo looked at Shao Lin on the left, and then at Mrs. Shao on the right. Both mother and son were equally calm and composed, and it was obvious that they had reached a consensus on this matter privately.

"Master, are you going to choose a successor from your own family or clan?"

"What are your requirements and conditions for your successor?"

After discussing for a while, some people who were impatient began to ask questions to Shao Lin.

Shao Lin calmly answered them one by one, "First of all, I have a prerequisite for selecting an heir from the nephews of the family, that is, he must have no family background and no offspring before the age of 45.

Secondly, I am choosing not only a stepson, but also the future heir of the family, so this condition and requirement should not be established unilaterally by me.

As for the rest, I will hold a small internal meeting with all the uncles and uncles to discuss it carefully when I have time another day."

"I agree with the Patriarch's proposal!"

"I agree."

Shao Lin's words were unanimously supported by the entire clan.

How could they not support it? Among the older generation present, there were few young grandchildren. If by some stroke of luck their grandchildren were chosen by Shao Lin, wouldn't it be a great success for all the family members? The family meeting ended with everyone's satisfaction.

Shao Ya followed the crowd out of the ancestral hall, and as she walked, she couldn't help but look back at the girl in white dress in the hall.

It is also a good thing for Shao Lin that he will choose an heir from the family. His younger brother Shao Yixuan is 15 years old this year and will be 18 or 19 in a few years, which gives him a great advantage in terms of age.

But she was also worried that Shao Mo would obstruct her brother's candidacy because of her personal grudge against her brother.

If she had known earlier, she should have stopped her brother when he went to cause trouble for Shao Mo that day.

Shao Ya thought with some regret and went back to the west courtyard with a heavy heart.

Shao Ying followed her with some difficulty, "Sister, please walk slower, you are in a hurry to be reincarnated..."

Shao Ya stopped and turned to stare at Shao Ying, "What should you call me?"

"Big...Second sister?"

Shao Ya looked at her seriously, "Shao Mo is already on the family tree. She is the eldest daughter of the Shao family recognized by all the family members. You and I have to move one position back in generation. Let it go this time, but if you call me by the wrong name again next time, I will never let you off easily."

Shao Ying was rather disapproving. "Big, second sister, are you really willing to accept this? You have been the eldest daughter for eighteen years, but now you have been robbed of your limelight by a country bumpkin who came from nowhere..."

"Shut up! She is my uncle's biological daughter and our eldest sister. If you don't know the etiquette and respect for others, you can go back and learn it!"

Shao Ya has always been very caring towards her younger brothers and sisters, and has never scolded them in public like she did today. Shao Ying felt angry and aggrieved, and her eyes were redder than a rabbit's.

"Big sister, you scolded me, you actually scolded me for an outsider..."

Seeing that Shao Ying was so rude and still kept saying that Shao Mo was an outsider, Shao Ya was too lazy to say any more and turned around and disappeared quickly.

Shao Ying stood there in a daze, completely confused as to what she had done wrong.

Until an old aunt who had a good relationship with the East Courtyard pulled her aside and talked to her, "You, you are so old, but your temper is still so impetuous. In this place with so many people coming and going, you always call Aya Big Sister, and say Shao Mo is an outsider. Don't you think about what your uncle and grandmother will think if these words get to their ears? Even if you are not afraid of making your uncle unhappy, you have to consider your eldest brother. Your eldest brother is the legitimate young master of the family and the most qualified candidate to be the heir to the head of the family. Don't ruin his future..."

Hearing this, Shao Ying immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"Fifth Uncle, what should I do now? What I just said must have been heard by others. Maybe one day it will reach the ears of Great Grandma and the others. It's over. If I cause Second Brother to fail to become the heir, my father will definitely beat me to death."

"You should be more sensible and learn more from your sister Aya. How can she feel comfortable when someone robs her of her good status as a young lady? But you see, she didn't show off and didn't let anyone see any fault. She scolded you just now for your own good. You should go find her and admit your mistake, then go home and tell your mother about it and let her find a way to make amends."

"Okay, I understand! Thank you, Fifth Uncle!"

After entering the west courtyard, Shao Ying went straight to Shao Ya's bedroom, but found that neither the bedroom nor the study was empty. After asking, she found out that Shao Ya had not returned to the west courtyard at all.

"Big sister, no, second sister! So you are here. I have been looking for you for a long time."

Shao Ya glanced back at Shao Ying, then turned around and continued to feed the goldfish in the pond casually.
