Because there was a little snow on the ground last night, the road was a bit slippery, so Chi Xingyue walked carefully. When he arrived, there was already a commotion outside the door.
The side branch of the Ling family turned black into white, saying that Ling Youda had become rich and no longer recognized them as his poor relatives.
If you are not at your wit's end, who would want to come and bring bad luck during the New Year?
People around pointed fingers and thought what the other party said made sense.
Especially when I saw that their clothes were obviously different from those of the Ling family and were full of patches.
The sympathy and amusement of the group of people were clearly visible on their faces.
The old man was so angry that he pointed at the other person's nose and kept calling him "you you you" for a long time, but he couldn't say a complete sentence.
Ling Jiren was afraid that he would get hurt out of anger, so he quickly pulled them apart and faced these "tribesmen" who were eyeing him covetously.
He was not afraid of losing face and sneered, "Third Uncle must have forgotten how we, the direct descendants, were expelled from the family!
Do you want me to recall it for you?"
The Ling family's side branches were certain that the main lineage would not dare to reveal the truth, so they felt safe and secure.
"You tell me, if you have the guts, just tell me!"
Ling Jiren sneered: "Do you really think I don't dare? I am now a fourth-rank military officer, and I am not afraid of you scoundrels causing trouble.
"I just came out to explain myself because I was disgusted by the shit pot. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
The people around them gasped.
They only knew that the two grandchildren of the Ling family had returned with Zhou Chengyu and held high official positions. However, they did not expect that their positions would be so high.
The few families who had initially despised the Ling family for their bad behavior suddenly became silent and retreated, fearing that they would be hated by the Ling family.
It was appropriate for Ling Jiren to stand up and confront the side branch.
Not only because he holds the highest official position, but also because he is the eldest grandson of the Ling family and is qualified to handle these issues.
He did not hide anything and directly revealed the news that he was once the richest man in Jiangnan.
“Back then, the tyrant emperor of the Great Yong Dynasty issued an order to confiscate my Ling family’s assets and exile my direct descendants.
It was because you were afraid of being implicated that you took the initiative to sever ties with us and even erased all traces of your direct lineage from the family tree.
By the way, if you are from the side branch and have achieved what you have, you deserve to be worshipped.
What, you're still not satisfied? Seeing your direct lineage rising up, you want to get on top and suck their blood?
Let me tell you, no way!
Once we break off the relationship, there's no going back on it. From now on, I'll go my own way, and you'll go your own way. Let's not hang around each other!"
"You, you, you have no respect for your elders! I'll teach you a lesson!" Third uncle pointed at Ling Jiren's nose and cursed, and was ready to attack.
Ling Jiren raised a bloodthirsty arc at the corner of his mouth and roared, "Kneel down!"
The Ling family's side branches crawled on the ground subconsciously, and even many onlookers who lacked self-control fell to their knees with a plop.
Only when it touched the cold ground did I come to my senses and feel embarrassed.
Third Uncle's face turned pale and blue, and he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Ling Jiren looked at the people who were winking at each other and didn't intend to let them get up easily.
There are too many doubts here, and he needs to sound them out.
A group of people knelt at the door of the Ling family, and the scene was quite spectacular.
One of the young men was thin-skinned and asked angrily, "Your direct descendants don't have the family's protection, aren't you afraid that it will affect your career?"
Ling Jiren sneered: "You also said that we are the direct lineage.
Since we are the direct descendants, of course it is we who will exile you, the side branches.
As for the family tree, it’s not a big deal. I can just rewrite it starting from my grandfather.
The Ling family has been in business for generations, and by our generation, the family has changed.
As a fourth-rank official, I should have the confidence to reopen the family tree!"
"Aren't you afraid that we will file a complaint?"
"Ha, go ahead and sue me, sue me all you want. Did I get my position so easily?"
Before he joined the army, the Ling family had already been thoroughly investigated by Emperor Zhou.
Nowadays, nothing is surprising when something breaks out.
The people outside the door had no choice but to kneel for half a minute and then leave in embarrassment.
Ling Jiren gestured towards the shadows, and a man in black appeared and left behind the Ling family's branch.
Seeing this, the others smiled and wished the Ling family a happy new year, and then went back to their homes.
I was smacking my lips on the way, it felt so exciting.
The Ling family, the richest family in Jiangnan, was the Ling family. No wonder they were able to open several popular stores in such a short period of time.
It is indeed a family with a strong foundation.
Most importantly, they were exiled.
Not only were they not defeated, the four grandchildren of the Ling family were all outstanding.
It is true that comparing goods will lead to throwing them away, and comparing people will lead to death!
Because of this farce, the Ling family’s good mood was gone.
The old man sat in a chair and sighed, feeling both sad and disgusted.
Ling Jiren stepped forward to comfort him: "Master, if they are willing, they can help secretly after the relationship is severed.
But look, it's been several years since he showed up. Clearly, he doesn't take our family seriously!
I thought all our direct descendants had died on the road to exile!"
How could the old man not know that? He just, just, felt uncomfortable.
The old lady also felt that the side branches were excessive.
After doing such a heartless thing, they actually wanted to live in the Ling family and let their direct descendants provide them with food, drink and entertainment.
Knowing that the grandchildren of the Ling family have a bright future, he still said some nonsense to tarnish the reputation of the Ling family. He doesn't want to make things easy for them.
Seeing this, Chi Xingyue quickly exclaimed "Ouch", instantly attracting everyone's attention.
The old lady thought Chi Xingyue had a stomach problem and hurried to call Doctor Cheng.
Chi Xingyue smiled and said, "Grandma is fine, she just felt her stomach move a little."
The old lady was delighted and asked hurriedly: "Did the baby kick you?"
