This sentence shocked the whole audience, and the Qi family's bodyguards also followed into the living room. There were more than a dozen of them in a black mass. Suddenly, the only sounds in the living room were Shen Minglin's wailing on the ground and Shen Mingzhu's sobbing.
Seeing that the Shen family had stopped moving, Qi Mo's gaze paused on Shen Mingzhu for half a second and then moved away. He instructed the bodyguard behind him, "Take them to the guest room in front to rest."
Qi Mo's words undoubtedly gave Shen Anwen a heavy bombshell. The guest room in front of the ancestral house was where outsiders were received. Qi Mo's words undoubtedly excluded their family of seven from the Qi family, and they would not even be qualified to enter the Qi family's ancestral house in the future.
Upon hearing this, the bodyguard took action immediately, and regardless of Shen Anwen's questioning, he directly drove Shen Anwen and the Shen brothers and sisters to the small villa in front of the ancestral home.
Seeing Shen Anwen's family being driven away, Qi Minghe became extremely sober. Fortunately, she called her two sons, otherwise they would have been driven away by the bodyguards as well.
The two Xu brothers did not expect such an outcome, and their eyes changed when they looked at Qi Jing.
Although the Xu family's center of gravity is no longer in Beijing, they grew up with Qi Mingyi, and the most common thing they were taught was to respect the elders of the Qi family, especially their great-grandfather Qi Jun.
The Xu family also agreed with this kind of education. After all, no one could shake the Qi family's foundation in Beijing, and many of the Xu family's businesses needed the help of the Qi family.
Even if the two children of the Xu family cannot work in the Qi family, they still have to establish good relationships with their peers in the Qi family, which will definitely be of great benefit to the Xu family.
The living room finally quieted down. Qi Shuo, who had been motionless, kept his eyes on Qi Mo after he appeared, with hostility hidden in his eyes.
Although Qi Mo is the heir trained by Qi Jun, he was also trained by his father since childhood. He never thinks that he is worse than Qi Mo. At the same time, he also regards Qi Mo as his only competitor.
Qi Mo didn't care when he met Qi Shuo's gaze. He walked to Qi Jun and bowed respectfully, saying, "The ancestral hall has been decorated."
Qi Jun nodded, and stood up with the help of Qi Jing using his crutches. The others followed one by one according to their seniority.
When we arrived at the Qi family ancestral hall, we saw names engraved on each of the spirit tablets. Even the girls who had married out of the Qi family from generation to generation had their spirit tablets set up, as long as they were not expelled from the Qi family.
Qi Jing stepped forward and took a bunch of incense from the altar. He rubbed his palm across it, and the whole bunch of incense was lit. Qi Jing then wrapped it with a piece of talisman paper, moved his lips silently, and the talisman paper disappeared.
He took three incense sticks and handed them to Qi Jun, took the remaining incense sticks and gave one to each of them, and finally kept three for himself and walked alone to a small altar to worship.
This is his elder brother Qi Si. In the Qi family ancestral hall, only Qi Si can bear his worship.
After the worship, the incense burned out quickly, and Qi Jing then picked up the spirit tablet and placed it at the front of the altar.
The four generations of the Qi family followed Qi Jun's actions and began to worship. After three kowtows, Qi Jun inserted the incense into the incense burner, followed by Qi Mingwang's generation.
Qi Mo's generation lined up from oldest to youngest, with the elders standing to the side. Qi Jing coughed into his lips, "The Qi family's ancestral precept states that the head of the family is replaced every eighty years. The current generation of Qi family descendants, both men and women, must not lose their virginity before the head of the family is chosen, unless they voluntarily withdraw from the selection of the head or the assistant head of the family."
Qi Jing glanced at them from the oldest to the youngest and said sternly, "Those who are leaving now should go forward and burn incense."
Qi Yao was the first to step out, followed closely by Qi Yue. Qi Jing frowned and pointed at Qi Yue, saying, "Go back and stand still."
Qi Yue paused and was pulled back by Shen Ningjing beside him.
Following them were the two brothers from the Shen family and the two brothers from the Xu family. At Qi Mingzhen's reminder, eight-year-old Qi Nan also came forward, holding the three-year-old Qi Yuan's hand.
The two siblings were too small to reach the incense sticks, so their brothers came to help. After lighting the incense sticks, they immediately ran to Qi Mingzhen.
Qi Mingzhen picked up his little princess, took Qi Nan's hand, and the rest was just watching the show.
Qi Jing glanced at the two brothers Shen and Xu who had voluntarily withdrawn and nodded. "Although you are not surnamed Qi, you are also the blood of the Qi family. Whether it is your generation or the next, I hope we will not be estranged. Only by supporting each other can the family prosper from generation to generation."
The four of them agreed very respectfully. Being able to preside over the Qi family's ancestral worship and the selection of the head of the family, Qi Jing's status in the Qi family was definitely not inferior to that of the head of the family. Naturally, they would not be like Shen Anwen's family who were driven out of the ancestral home for such a small matter and even lost the qualifications to enter the Qi family's ancestral hall.
Qi Jing turned his head to look at the remaining people, Qi Shuo, Qi Mo, Qi Nian, Qi You, Qi Xin and Qi Yue.
Qi Jing continued, "First, decide who will help the patriarch in the future and take a step forward."
Qi Nian stepped forward, followed by the twin sisters Qi Xin and Qi Yue. Qi Jing looked at Qi You in confusion, but didn't say anything.
Qi Jing pointed at the incense in their hands and said, "I have cast a mantra on the incense in your hands. If what you say is inconsistent with the facts, the incense will burn faster. Do you understand?"
After the three of them answered, Qi Jing began to ask, "Have you ever had someone you liked before?"
Qi Nian replied, "Yes."
Qi Xin didn't think Qi Jing was really that capable of distinguishing whether someone was lying, so she said frankly, "No."
As soon as he finished speaking, the incense in Qi Xin's hand burned faster, and one-fifth of it was burned in an instant.
Qi Xin's face suddenly turned awkward. She wanted to explain but was interrupted by Qi Jing, "You only have one chance to answer. If the incense burns out before I finish asking, you will be considered unqualified. Remember this next time."
After saying that, Qi Jing looked at Qi Yue and said, "You continue."
"No."
Qi Yue answered softly, and the incense in his hand did not move at all.
Qi Jing nodded in satisfaction and continued to look at Qi Xin, who was full of doubt. "If you are not convinced, you can switch scents with them at will."
After saying that, Qi Jing turned around and pasted three yellow talismans on the edge of the altar, writing the names of three people on them, but only added a stroke under Qi Yue's name.
Of course Qi Xin didn't believe it. When Qi Jing wrote his name, he exchanged perfume with Qi Yue. How could such a thing happen? She absolutely didn't believe it.
After finishing writing, Qi Jing turned back and asked the second question, "Have you followed the Qi family's ancestral precepts and never violated them?"
This question made Qi Nian hesitate for a moment, but he still answered, "There is one thing that is violated."
As he finished speaking, Qi Nian's incense burned down a little. He looked at Qi Jing in surprise. Didn't he disobey for Lin Youyou?
Qi Jing explained, "The Qi family has three ancestral precepts. The first is that the generation that chooses the head of the family cannot lose their virginity before the head of the family is chosen.
Second, as a member of the Qi family, you must not do anything that harms the interests of the Qi family and the family.
Third, you must not commit crimes or do anything that is harmful to the world.
The Qi family rules don't restrict who you like, so it doesn't count. It just doesn't match the facts, so the Mantra has judged you as a liar."
Qi Nian understood, and Qi Jing then looked at Qi Yue, waiting for Qi Xin's answer.
