The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

But in just a moment, the astonishment in Ming Zhao's eyes turned into determination, and he slowly stood out from the crowd, "Zhao'er, it's better to obey than to be respectful!"

As long as she was in charge, she was determined to get rid of these blood-sucking insects completely.

The Ming family's side branches were in an uproar!

Old Madam Ming wants Ming Zhao to be the head of the family!

What does this mean? All the men in the Ming family are dead, so they need a woman who is still waiting to be married to take charge of the family?

Or is it that the first wife's family has all died? Even if you line up, you can't get a third wife to take over the family!

This time, the three old guys all spoke in a tacit agreement and said firmly, "We don't agree!"

Of course I can't agree! Ming Zhao is just a stumbling block, a calamity that stands in the way!

Nothing can be accomplished as long as she gets involved.

Ming Chengzhong had no choice but to act like an elder and speak to the group of "unobjecting" young people of the Ming family, "As long as you still call me uncle or grandfather, you must listen to what I say!"

Hey, this tune is familiar! Shi Anxia smiled faintly and said, "Then everyone should stop yelling from now on."

Ming Chengzhong: “…”

If this wasn't the princess, he would have cursed at her.

Everyone from the side branches: “…” What, what, what does this mean?

Everyone in the main branch: "..."

The princess' words are golden and everything she said is right.

Bei Hui and other accompanying maids lowered their heads and laughed: Madam’s prescription is applicable everywhere, hehe!

In fact, the side branches did not believe that the main branch would be willing to split up the Ming family. The Ming family is now considered a large family in Muzhou Jiangcheng, and their side branches have no less influence than the main branch.

Once dispersed, the power of the Ming family would be diluted, which would have a great impact on their livelihood. This has always been a reason why the side branches hinder the main branch.

Even in the Chamber of Commerce, without the support of the Ming family's side branches, the main branch would be weak and powerless, so how could it have any say?

As long as the main branch wants to continue to make a living from spices and tea, it will have to rely on the strength of the side branches. This is their confidence.

Madam Ming ignored the suddenly chaotic atmosphere around her and waved to Ming Zhao with a smile, "Zhao'er, come here."

Ming Zhao walked over obediently and knelt gently in front of the old lady.

Madam Ming pulled Ming Zhao up and handed the jade ring to him. "I am old, deaf and blind. These years I have always wanted to keep things quiet. I also think that money and property are just external things. If it can bring friendship and peace, and help each other in times of crisis, it is worth it. But... Sister Zhao, you are right. Some relatives can only share wealth, but not adversity."

She looked at the people from the side branches, and finally her eyes fell on the old guys in Mingchengzhong, "You guys are going too far! You asked for the shop and the boat several times, and after I refused, you used Zhao girl's innocence to make trouble in order to force me to submit."

Ming Chengzhong stiffened his neck and said, "Nonsense!"

Ming Chengyi's eyes were red, "Nonsense!"

Ming Chengfu's face darkened, "You are making up a story!"

Madam Ming withdrew her gaze indifferently, and when she looked at Ming Zhao again, she had more expectation and kindness, "Zhao girl, now this family is handed over to you! You have a heavy burden! We all know that you are capable. Do whatever you want to do, and don't ask for my and your great-great-grandfather's opinions. Now, he has also figured it out."

As she spoke, she looked at her husband from a distance, "Don't you think so, sir?"

Ming Chengyuan nodded, "That's right."

Ming Zhao knelt down and kowtowed to Ming Chengyuan from a distance, "Zhao'er will do his best to live up to my great-great-grandfather's expectations." He turned around and kowtowed to Guan, "Zhao'er will live up to my great-great-grandmother's trust."

Guan nodded with satisfaction: "Good child, we are lucky to have you."

Tang Chuyu and Shi Anxia suggested that Ming Zhao be the head of the family. Guan had been considering this for two days and had just asked for her husband's opinion.

This was not an impulsive decision, but a well-considered one.

The side branches were stunned, thinking that Ming Chengyuan had also become confused. If they had known this, they would have…

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door, "Make way, make way, the clan leader is here!"

The head of the Ming family is here.

The clan leader Ming Jintong is Ming Chengyuan's uncle and the father of Ming Chengzhong. He is the only one of the Jin generation still alive, and he is also the highest generation in the Ming family.

He has the right to take advantage of his age, after all, he is over a hundred years old.

It must be said that when it comes to longevity, the men of the Ming family are second to none, and probably no one dares to claim to be first.

Ming Jintong was also pushed in in a wheelchair, with his head tilted, cloudy eyes, shoulders slanted, hands shaking, and drooling.

For a moment, everyone stood there in a stalemate, and no one said hello to each other.

Shi Anxia is a princess and represents the royal family.

If we talk about etiquette, Ming Jintong should perform the etiquette of respect for the elders first, and Shi Anxia should perform the etiquette of respect for the younger generations later.

But Ming Jintong is so old now, how can he perform the ceremony?

Shi Anxia also sat still.

Ming Chengzhong felt confident when he saw his father, the clan leader, coming. In fact, he had been exercising the clan leader's power on behalf of his father for many years. Just as he was about to say something to suppress her, he saw Guan stand up and say to his personal nanny Xu, "I'm tired, let's go back."

Nanny Xu took two steps forward and reached out to support the old lady.

Ming Zhao bowed and said, "Zhao'er respectfully bids farewell to my great-great-grandmother."

This is not even giving the clan leader face, really tearing the face off. Ming Chengzhong was so angry that his head was buzzing, "The Ming family is really strict with rules now!"

Shi Anxia said calmly, "You have to follow the rules in front of this princess, right?"

Then let your father kneel down and pay his respects first!

Ming Chengzhong: “…”

His deep-seated awe for the royal family left him speechless once again.

But Shi Anxia had something to say, "Great-grandmother, please stay. I have a few words to clarify in public."

Guan stopped and sat back in his seat.

Shi Anxia raised her voice and said, "More than two months ago, my uncle and I discussed returning to the Ming family to visit relatives, but we didn't know the Ming family's attitude. Before coming, we needed to understand and investigate the situation of the Ming family, so we sent someone to take Sister Ming Zhao away."

Everyone in the audience was shocked in their own way.

Ming Zhao, in particular, could not imagine that the princess would lie for her reputation. Thinking of how he had secretly deceived her in the past two days, he felt guilty for a moment.

Shi Anxia didn't care whether others believed it or not. He just wanted to give a clear explanation for Ming Zhao's kidnapping and not allow others to throw dirty water on Ming Zhao anymore.

She continued, "Later, when we sent Sister Ming Zhao back, my people told her not to reveal that we were going back to the Ming family, so she kept her mouth shut."

Ming Ruyi's father Ming Tiancheng was the first one to disbelieve it, "Impossible!"

Shi Anxia's indifferent gaze fell on Ming Tiancheng, "Hey, why are you so sure that it's impossible? Could it be that you hired someone to kidnap Sister Ming Zhao?"

Ming Tiancheng was furious, but he didn't dare to talk back to the princess, so he had to quickly deny it, "No, of course not."

Shi Anxia smiled coolly, "That's right, since he's not the person you're looking for, you should take back your 'impossible', otherwise I'll charge you with slander and defamation!"
