3917 Unscrupulous
Seeing that Ling Chuxi and the others were somewhat puzzled, he continued to explain,”the sun family is a small family attached to the Ling family. This kind of major matter of re-establishing the family head, even the family head does not have much say. That sun Haoyang is only the second young master of the sun family, not even the young master. What is he going to do?”
“Ahem, ahem, miss ou, you don’t know this, but I heard that the rules for re-establishing the patriarch are a little different from the past. Apart from our main family’s revered elders, the patriarchs of other branch families and their direct descendants are also qualified to participate.” The guard glanced at Ling huaixin and said in a low voice.
“How dare you! Don’t you know your own status? How dare you talk about this kind of thing!” Ling huaixin rebuked angrily.
“How impressive. Re-establishing the patriarch is such a big matter. Don’t tell me that even I can’t know about it?” Ling Zhongxiao’s face darkened as he sneered.
“Hmph!” Ling huaixin snorted coldly and did not speak again. Although he was third elder’s man, before third elder became the family head, he still did not dare to be too disrespectful to Ling Zhongxiao.
“You just said that in this re-establishment of the family, not only the family head of the other branch families has the right to participate, even the direct descendants are no exception?” Ling Zhongxiao asked the previous guard.
“En, I heard this with my own ears. Originally, our Zong family’s direct descendents also have this right, but fourth young master went out to travel while the other young masters and young mistresses were either in closed door cultivation or sent out to take care of the family’s businesses, so none of them had the time to rush back.” The guard said.
Since he had already said so much, the guard was too lazy to hide it. In fact, they were also quite disapproving of the third elder. First, he appointed someone as his family, and helped Ling huaixin, who was not presentable, to become the leader of the guards. Then, he used such a move to try to get a share of the family head position. Even these guards felt bitterly disappointed. If the third elder really became the head of the family, they were prepared to leave the Ling family and find another way to survive. There was no need to fear Ling Huai Xin.
“Despicable!” After hearing the Guard’s words, Ling Chuxi and Ling Zhongxiao both cursed at the same time.
Hearing this, if Ling Chuxi still could not guess what was going on, she would not be Ling Chuxi.
The last time the third elder sent Ling Huai ‘an to find trouble with uncle Tong and uncle Qin, he wanted to get their worship orders and use it to find another confidant to become a worship before helping him to ascend to the position of the family head. Although Ling Chuxi and the others had ruined his good plan, he did not give up and thought of a new move: The patriarchs, revered elders, and direct descendants of the various aristocratic families would vote to select the patriarch.
In this way, there would be more people involved, and the two worship orders in the hands of uncle Qin and uncle Tong would be dispensable. At the same time, if they sent the descendants who supported Ling mofeng to other places, even if they received the news and wanted to rush back, it would be too late. Those who supported the third elder had naturally received the news in advance and had long been prepared to support him in taking the position.
Ling Chuxi had never expected that in order to seize the position of the family head, this third grandfather whom she had yet to meet would actually use such a despicable trick. If there were no accidents, the position of the Ling family head would most likely fall into his hands.
“No, I have to go in.” Ling Zhongxiao had also thought of this point and hurriedly walked in.
Although he was a direct descendant of the Zong family and had at most one vote, he might not be able to turn the tide, but it was better than watching the position of the family head fall into the hands of the third elder.
This wasn’t to say that third elder would be disadvantageous to the Ling family just because he became the family head. It was just because they had different ideologies.
