Chapter 577 Succession, the Symbol Ring



Yan Xiluo nodded. After all, the Su family was not a small or insignificant family, and not just anyone could casually infiltrate their ranks.

The IP address shows that the user is from the Su family, which only means that the user is from the Su family.

Moreover, someone who can collude with Yu is definitely not a lowly servant, unless that servant has other forces behind them besides Yu.

Putting all that aside, no outsider could know such a secret about the Yan family.

The affairs of the Yan family's head are generally not discussed with outsiders, unless they are family members who happen to overhear something while visiting the Yan family.

Yan Xiluo knew that this outcome was hard for them to accept, and it was normal that they couldn't understand it and found it difficult to accept.

Just like her reaction when she first found out the IP address.

"Grandma, I know what you're worried about. Aunt will be fine. Apart from the sect leader's ring and token, the person they're targeting is me."

"I can protect myself, and Ayan will protect me too."

Yan Xiluo comforted her grandmother, saying that with her skills, her family could rest assured.

Yan Chuxiao was different; she was a truly weak woman who didn't even have the ability to protect herself.

"Actually, I have many questions. Is it really true that the Su family and our family have no grudges against each other?"

"Or love, hate, and grudges?"

Yan Xiluo was not giving up. She wouldn't want to take anything from the Yan family for no reason. There must be some reason behind it, right?

Everyone looked serious, as if they were all hiding something.

"I heard Grandpa and Grandma Su say that my uncle had feelings for Mom. Is that true? Could it be that my uncle...?"

Yan Xiluo was unsure whether she should say it or not. Could it be that Su Yi wanted revenge because of love turned to hate, and that he didn't actually love her aunt, but only married her aunt out of spite after his father and mother got together?

She ultimately didn't ask, not daring to speculate, as that would hurt many people.

"Actually, the thing is like this..."

As the person involved, Li Shuwen had no choice but to personally resolve her daughter's doubts, as she already guessed what her daughter wanted to ask.

Yan Xiluo frowned slightly as she listened attentively to Li Shuwen recounting what happened back then.

"I understand, Mom."

Yan Xiluo had her answer. This was an unexpected gain for her. She just didn't know if her family knew about Yu.

"Grandpa and Grandma, Dad and Mom."

Do you know anyone around you whose name or nickname is Yu?

Yan Xiluo's eyes were full of anticipation; she was really afraid that Li Shuwen would say that the person was Yi Luhua...

"Yu? Which yu?"

Yan Zhiguo was puzzled, as were the others.

They know many people named "yu," which are homophones but written as different characters.

"Wait me a moment."

Yan Xiluo left in a hurry, went to the study to write Yu down, and then came back with the paper.

“This jade.”

All four shook their heads.

"This character is rarely used in names, and Grandma doesn't know anyone named Yu."

Liao Yufang was the first to speak.

"Yes, Grandpa doesn't recognize him either."

Yan Zhiguo, on the contrary, began to appreciate his granddaughter's handwriting, which was quite beautiful.

Neither Yan Youting nor Li Shuwen knew anyone named Yu.

Yan Xiluo was somewhat disappointed, but then again, this was probably just Yu's code name, just like her ghostly code name.

It's normal that family members don't know.

Well, for now we can only take it one step at a time.

If we could find that person from the Su family, perhaps we could force them to reveal information about Yu.

"Okay, then there's nothing else. I'll cook lunch today."

"Grandpa and Grandma, today I'm making your favorite mandarin fish."

"Don't worry too much about what just happened. Leave it to me and Ayan."

Yan Xiluo put on a smile, not wanting her family to worry too much.

After what just happened, everyone realized that Yan Xiluo was a ghost, and their expressions weren't as tense as before.

“Our understanding is too much, and it makes me feel even worse.”

"You Ting, quickly take out the ring and give it to Luo Luo."

Normally, Yan Zhiguo would be overjoyed to hear that Yan Xiluo was going to cook mandarin fish for them.

But now I can't focus on food.

After hearing what Yan Xiluo said, Yan Zhiguo became even more certain that such an important thing should be handed over to Yan Xiluo as soon as possible.

"I'll go get it right away."

Yan Youting quickly got up, not daring to delay for even a moment.

Yan Zhiguo nodded in satisfaction, while Liao Yufang was still thinking about things, feeling somewhat melancholy.

Li Shuwen comforted her from the side.

"Grandma, let me massage your acupoints."

After Yan Xiluo finished speaking, she sat down next to Liao Yufang, took her hand and massaged the acupoints on her hand to help her feel less depressed and more relaxed.

After massaging her hands, Yan Xiluo massaged Liao Yufang's temples and several other acupoints on her body.

Yan Zhiguo watched with envious eyes from the side.

Soon Yan Youting strode back carrying a wooden box.

"Dad, I've brought the keepsake."

Yan Youting carefully handed the wooden box to his father.

Yan Zhiguo stood up to accept it, but since there hadn't been a formal ceremony yet, the handover of the token to Yan Xiluo wasn't particularly grand.

With just a few of them around, there's no need to make a big show of it.

"Luo Luo, today Grandpa will hand over the position of head of the Yan family to you."

"This ring symbolizes your status as the head of the Yan family, representing power and wealth. You must keep this ring safe in the future and never let it fall into the hands of someone with ulterior motives."

Previously, the ceremony for the succession of the Yan family's head was that on the day each female head of the family got engaged, the previous head of the family would hand over a token to the new head of the family.

Later, the Yan family only had male heirs, and the succession of the sect leader became much more hasty. Only after the previous sect leader passed away would the next one succeed him.

Now that the Yan family has a daughter who is about to get engaged, the position of sect leader should be passed down according to the old rules.

All of this is for the sake of the female descendants of the Yan family, so that they will never suffer any grievances even if they are not at their maternal home in the future.

Yan Zhiguo solemnly explained to Yan Xiluo that it was precisely because of her enormous wealth that she had been the target of jealousy.

The Yan family endured being hunted down, escaping death, and being cursed...

They haven't lost anything left by their ancestors and have tried to preserve it to this day.

"Grandpa, I understand. I will definitely protect this ring!"

Yan Xiluo knew her mission was one she could not shirk, and she also knew the responsibility she had to shoulder as the only woman in the Yan family.

"Good boy, you can do whatever you want with the things in the secret room, but there are some things you must not touch unless necessary."

"It's really not easy for some things to have been preserved. Grandpa will tell you about them in detail when we have more time later."

The history and stories of the Yan family could be told for seven days and seven nights...

Yan Xiluo nodded, then opened the simple wooden box. It looked simple, but the workmanship was exquisite and meticulous.
