A deep and solemn bell sound came from somewhere, as if announcing that a certain time had arrived.

It turns out that there is such a large and magnificent ancestral hall behind the residential courtyard. The atmosphere in the hall is solemn and dignified. In front of the crimson columns on both sides of the gate, there are two couplets engraved in a flamboyant style: "The merits of ancestors and the virtues of ancestors will be passed down far and wide, and the filial sons and virtuous grandchildren will carry on the family tradition for generations."

It was an hour later when the ancestor worship ceremony was over. Under the guidance of the servant, Sheng Yuan came out and found the location of the bathroom.

Because it was a special day, everyone changed into solemn black or dark grey attire. In the clear mirror in front of the sink, the girl was wearing a pure black long-sleeved dress, and her long hair was tied into a neat low ponytail at the back of her head, revealing her slender porcelain-white neck. The decorative lights on the top shone down on her face as she was slightly bent over, lowering her eyes and quietly washing her hands.

Sheng Yuan took a piece of paper to wipe her hands and was about to go back. Just as she came out of the bathroom and passed a corner, she suddenly heard someone talking.

"Didn't I tell you not to mention this family's name again?!"

"But Dad, Xiaoyi is having a really hard time right now. She is forced to stay in that small place with limited resources and connections. She can't get out for the rest of her life. After all, she and I are cousins ​​who grew up together. When she complained to me, I felt really bad seeing her like this. Is there no other way? After all, this used to be her home, but now, they can't even go back for important days like ancestor worship—"

"Shut up! You're not afraid of being heard if you speak louder, right? They had it all their own fault in the first place, for doing such an evil thing. Fortunately, nothing happened to that little ancestor, otherwise, he wouldn't have been just a light punishment like being kicked out of the family. If you still want to be my son, then listen to my advice and don't get in touch with anyone from that family, otherwise..."

Sheng Yuan stopped at the wall. She had no interest in listening to others talking, but based on the atmosphere of the conversation, she felt that if she walked out at this moment and bumped into someone, the other person would definitely be embarrassed. After thinking for a moment, she turned around and simply looked for an exit from the other side of the corridor.

So she didn't know that just as she left, two footsteps were heard from the other end, one steady and one casual, but both went straight towards the corner.

The conversation came to an abrupt halt.

"It's Xiaoyi and Xiaoxi. When did you come here?"

As soon as this question was asked, the middle-aged man's face froze for a moment, and he laughed dryly, "No, we were just passing by. This kid got into some trouble outside recently, so I gave him a lesson. If he could be half as capable as you two brothers, I wouldn't have to worry so much."

Sheng Xi curled his lips and said, "Uncle, you are too modest. My cousin is obviously very outstanding."

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the situation had been smoothed over. But the next second, he heard Sheng Xi speak again, "I heard that my cousin is looking for a place to start his own business. What do you think of Fengcheng?"

"Although the economy there is a bit sluggish and the resources are all in the hands of the locals, outstanding people will continue to be outstanding wherever they go. In addition, there are people there that my cousin has always missed. Once we get there, we won't have to miss them anymore and we can meet them every day. It's the best of both worlds, uncle, do you think I'm right?"

After he finished speaking, the young man standing next to the middle-aged man had already fallen silent and dared not say a word. He and Sheng Xi were of the same generation, but at this moment he did not dare to raise his head and look directly into Sheng Xi's eyes.

Sheng Xi withdrew his gaze without any emotion.

After Sheng Yi said, "Uncle and cousin, please do as you please," the two brothers left.

It was not until the two figures completely disappeared that the middle-aged man's heart finally fell back into his stomach. The young boy next to him looked anxious and panicked, "Dad, what cousin Sheng Xi said can't be true, Fengcheng, how can I go to such a remote place!"

The middle-aged man looked disappointed and said, "Let's see if you dare to speak nonsense again in the future. Didn't you see how biased those three were towards that one? They were willing to let her sit in the main seat, and even when the old man was here, he loved her especially..."

Thanks to Xu, because of that, Xxdomg, Mi Chong Chong, and Bu Chi Strawberry Wife for their monthly tickets~~ I'm stuck, the Jiangcheng part is not good, there are a lot of foreshadowings, and tomorrow's plot is to return to Beijing City,
