However, you cannot help right away, otherwise the other party will not remember your kindness.
Thinking of this, Bai Ze continued to wait and watch.
Soon, four old men came up.
One of them said to Gongshu Yao, "Today is not the day for a clan meeting, why are we old guys here?"
"Yes! I just coaxed my grandson to sleep, and your shout woke him up. The child is crying so hard that I am heartbroken!"
"Tell me, what do you want us to do this time?"
"Haha, we are all old, so we should leave the opportunity to the young people. They still need more experience. If it is not a big deal, let the younger generation come up with ideas themselves!"
Gongshu Yao bowed and said respectfully: "Uncles, today I want to discuss with you about Gongshu Yuan becoming the clan leader."
Upon hearing this, the four people who originally didn't care all showed different expressions.
Two of them looked somewhat excited, one showed no change in expression, and the other one looked at Gongshu Yao with a frown.
"Haha, I told you long ago that Gongshu Yuan is a girl, how could she take on the responsibility of the entire family? You didn't believe it at the time."
"Such an important task should be handed over to a steady and responsible young person. In some matters, a girl is a girl and she cannot be compared with a boy."
The two spoke without reservation, which made Gongshu Yuan, who was standing by, look extremely ugly.
"Haha, I don't care who becomes the clan leader, as long as he can lead the Gongshu clan to survive." An old man said with a smile, neither supporting nor opposing.
"What's wrong with a girl? If you ask me, you are just a bunch of old-fashioned people. Wu Zetian was also a woman, but she became an emperor."
"How many Wu Zetians are there in this world? How can this be compared?"
"I'm just making an analogy. You're an old stubborn person who still holds on to old ideas. Nowadays, people are advocating gender equality."
"You old idiot, who are you calling a stubborn old man?"
"I am talking about you!"
"If you dare, say it again!"
……
The dispute between the two became more and more intense, and for a while neither could defeat the other.
"Alright, alright, in front of the younger generation, can you two old guys behave like elders?"
The two stopped arguing.
Seeing the two stop, another person took the opportunity to say, "Since we are discussing Luan girl's problem, let's discuss it! We can talk about other things later."
The four of them looked at each other, and then all looked at Gongshu Yao.
"Tell me! What did Miss Luan do this time?"
Gongshu Yao then said respectfully, "My dear uncles, today was supposed to be nothing serious, but my disappointing son said a few wrong words, and he apologized, but Gongshu Luan wanted to punish him. It was not a big deal, but she had to make such a fuss. Our Gongshu clan has always been united, and isn't she destroying our internal unity by doing this?"
When the two opponents heard this, they immediately started to get angry.
"There is such a thing. Our Gongshu clan has never had any internal conflicts in the past hundred years, and this happened to Luan girl after she has only been the clan leader for a few days. It seems that she is really not suitable for this position."
"I think so too. Women are women after all. If they can't even unite internally, then we should replace them as soon as possible!"
Hearing the two people's opinions, Gongshu Luan frowned slightly, clenched her fists and said nothing.
At this time, Gongshu Yao and his son both had smiles on their faces.
Bai Ze saw all of this and understood the wishful thinking of Gongshu Yao and his son.
They originally wanted to support Gongshu Yuan and then use her for their own purposes, but now that they can't control her, they are thinking of replacing her. How insidious!
However, Bai Ze did not say anything, as it was not the time for him to take action.
At this time, another old man who supported Gongshu Yuan spoke up and said, "Everything must have a cause and process. You only said that she destroyed the internal unity, but did not say why. Isn't this a bit far-fetched? Let us old guys hear what happened. It will also help us judge whether Luan girl destroyed the internal unity or not!"
Another old man who held reservations also echoed: "That makes sense."
Gongshu Yao's face froze slightly. Originally, he wanted to smooth things over and remove Gongshu Yuan, and then recommend his own son to be the clan leader. However, if this matter was broken down, his son would also be held largely responsible.
After all, it was he who violated the clan rules first. Although he could accuse Gongshu Yuan of destroying internal unity, he had no way to erase his son's mistake.
Thinking of this, he knew that things today would not be perfect, but since Gongshu Yuan was disobedient, he had to make her step down from this position even if he had to pay a price.
Thinking of this, he glared at his disappointing son again.
When Gongshu Ye saw his father's gaze, he could only lower his head guiltily.
Then, Gongshu Yao said, "Haha, actually, this is what happened. My son, who was not very good at what he did, said some unpleasant things to these girls. He apologized and they forgave him. But Gongshu Yuan refused to accept it and insisted on punishing him in front of outsiders. Don't you think this is destroying internal unity?"
"Punishment is appropriate, but it's better not to do such a small thing in front of outsiders."
Hearing Gongshu Yao's words, several old men frowned slightly.
The two who opposed Gongshu Luan spoke up again: "Although Xiao Ye was wrong first, Gongshu Luan's approach was too radical and she didn't know how to be tactful. I don't think she is suitable for this position."
"Yes, I think so too. Being a clan leader not only requires you to uphold the clan's rules, but you also need to mediate and find the wisest solution."
"Hmph! I think what Miss Luan did is right. There is no order without rules. If it's wrong, it's wrong. How can't she be punished for her mistake?" the old man who supported Gongshu Luan said quickly.
"Haha, what you said makes sense."
For a moment, three old men started arguing, and one of them stood by without expressing his opinion.
After arguing for a while, Gongshu Yao saw that the time was right, so he said, "Since everyone has their own reasons, let's do it the old way and draw lots to decide! The one with the most votes wins."
"According to the clan rules, each branch of the clan has the right to one vote. It just so happens that all five of our families are here, so let's vote now!"
"Okay, let's do it, now vote!"
"Hey!" The old man who supported Gongshu Luan looked at her and shook his head at her.
Gongshu Luan also understood that she might no longer be the patriarch of the Gongshu clan after today. She did not make any excuses because she knew that no matter how she argued, she could not change these people's minds.
Gongshu Yao smiled and said, "Raise your hands if you object to Gongshu Yuan continuing to be the clan leader."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two old men and Gongshu Yao raised their hands at the same time.
Bai Ze narrowed his eyes slightly. He understood that if he didn't take action, he would not be able to change the outcome.
Thinking of this, he said without hesitation: "Wait."
