"Ji Haoxuan, don't go too far. Everyone knows that you already have two concubines. Aren't you just lying when you say this now?" Jiang Yuer said coldly.
"Haha, Jiang Yuer, you are not jealous, are you? Don't worry, my position as wife will always be yours, and no one can take it away. As for my marrying Sister Ruxuan, I have my own way, so you don't have to worry about it." Ji Haoxuan said with a smile.
"Elder Haoxuan, you are an elder of the Ji family, you should know that your ancestor has already established the rules. No matter whether you are a man or a woman, the members of your Ji family can only formally marry three wives at most, one principal and two associates. Do you think you can do whatever you want just by relying on the favor of the ancestor Ji?" Yao Xiuqi said in a deep voice.
In fact, it is not just the Ji family's rule that a clan member can only marry three wives. Basically, all the clans that are doing well in the Qiongzu universe have this restriction. After all, whether it is the principal wife or the concubine wife, they can be regarded as half of the clan members. This requires resources to support them, and the probability of having children is also high if you marry too many wives. Even if a clan is powerful, it cannot afford the endless consumption of future generations. Large families only want elites, not waste.
As for concubines, there are no restrictions. After all, the names of concubines cannot be included in the family tree. They are the personal behavior of the family members, and the family does not even need to spend resources to raise them. Even their offspring who are born by chance can only be regarded as side branches of the family. The family will not care at all. Of course, if they are extremely talented, exceptions can be made, but the probability of this is too low.
"Haha, Yao Xiuqi, don't put accusations on me. I will naturally not violate the rules of my ancestors, but can't I just divorce my concubine?" Ji Haoxuan said meaningfully.
Yao Xiuqi was furious after hearing this: "How dare you! Do you really think that my Yao family is easy to bully?"
Ji Haoxuan's two current concubines are both women from the Yao family. Although Yao Xiuqi is not familiar with those two people, as a member of the same clan, he would be ashamed if Ji Haoxuan divorced his wife. Since it is related to the family's honor, he has to make a strong statement.
"Just wait and see whether I dare or not." Ji Haoxuan said jokingly.
"You..." Yao Xiuqi just finished speaking when he was interrupted by the sudden noise in the field.
"Look, Senior Jiang Yuer's votes! How is that possible?"
"Haha~ I knew that Senior Yu'er is the best!"
"Sister Yu'er, we support you!"
"Cheating, definitely cheating!"
…………
Ji Haoxuan and others were attracted by the noisy sounds in the venue. They looked up at the vote count table in the sky, and saw that Jiang Yuer's votes were suddenly rising, rising rapidly as if they were free.
“Fellow Daoist Yu’er, you are too impatient!” Yao Xiuqi narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said to the Lingxiao Palace members: “My fellow palace members, although I, Yao Xiuqi, do not like to compete, but at this point, can we admit defeat? Everyone, cast all your votes!”
Yao Xiuqi's number of votes also began to rise sharply.
"Ruxuan's future depends on you all!" Sun Ruxuan also bowed to all the hall members. Her pitiful appearance immediately excited her supporters, and they voted for her without hesitation.
The Palace Master election has officially entered its second intense stage, and it seems to be the final one. After all, Ji Haoxuan has already gone all in, and the absolute advantage in votes is suffocating. Jiang Yuer and the others can only fight with their backs against the wall. They still understand the principle of "the first effort is the best, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted".
At this moment, everyone looked nervous, as whether or not they could become the master of Lingxiao Palace depended on this time.
Compared with Jiang Yu'er and the other two, Ji Haoxuan was much calmer. After all, he was far ahead in the vote count. He had the advantage, and his vote count was still rising. It had exceeded 10 trillion votes. The total votes of all the members of the Lingxiao Palace were only 32 trillion. Why was he panicking? In his opinion, there was no suspense about his election as the Palace Master.
…………
"5.5 trillion, why is it only 5.5 trillion?" Jiang Yuer murmured unwillingly as she saw her number of votes declining.
Yao Xiuqi also had a gloomy face. The number of votes he received was lower than Jiang Yuer's, only 3.9 trillion.
Sun Ruxuan was equally miserable; her number of votes was about the same as Yao Xiuqi's, just over 3.8 trillion.
Su Hong was a bit of a surprise. His salary increased from 3 billion to 210 million all of a sudden. This surprised everyone. They thought that Su Hong was not as honest as he seemed and he actually had a big move at the last moment.
But what's the use? Even if Su Hong made all the calculations, it was still only 210 million. He couldn't even compare with Sun Ruxuan, let alone Su Hong.
"Haha~ How do you three do? Are you convinced of your defeat?" Ji Haoxuan laughed loudly. At this moment, he had 10.7 trillion votes. Although it only increased by 1 trillion votes compared to the previous 9.7 trillion, his total number was there. What could others use to compete with him? He won the election completely. Thinking of how much his ancestor valued Lingxiao Palace, he was already thinking about how the ancestor would reward him. Before this, he had already been very favored by the ancestor. Now that he had made such a great contribution, wouldn't he be able to walk sideways in the family in the future?
"Ji Haoxuan, you are too happy too early. The total number of votes here is only 2.65 billion, which means there are still 550 million votes left to be cast." Yao Xiuqi snorted coldly.
"Haha, Yao Xiuqi, don't be naive. Isn't it normal for some people to abstain from voting? Besides, with the number of votes you have counted now, even if the remaining people cast all their votes for you, what can you use to compete with me?" Ji Haoxuan made no secret of his sarcasm.
"What about me? Brother Yao, Brother Su, Sister Ruxuan, since you have no chance of winning now, you can withdraw, right? If you withdraw now, even your ancestors won't blame you." Jiang Yuer said to them. She wanted to make one last effort. "Everyone, if you can withdraw now, I, Jiang Yuer, owe you a favor!"
