The reborn elder sister has gone crazy with killing, and there is a crying monster behind her

Today, the Shen family is not as glorious as it once was. Although it is at the bottom of the social ladder, it is still a considerable family.

The current head of the family was executed immediately by Shen Qiuchi, which will still have a great impact on the Shen family.

The death of the head of the Shen family earned the Shen family a reputation among the people for sacrificing their own relatives for the sake of justice, but everything else became very tricky!

But Shen Qiuchi had to do this. Her good father had done a lot of evil things. If she allowed him to continue living, countless people would suffer.

Before, she didn't have enough power and could only stop it, but now she has enough ability and she wants to nip it in the bud.

Now that the head of the family is dead, they have to choose a new head to replace him, and many members of the Shen family are eager to try.

"I know the purpose of your visit. I have already selected a candidate for the new head of the family and am just waiting for everyone to arrive." Shen Qiuchi has already asked people to find other branches of the Shen family, and even the side branches have been brought in.

The Shen family’s problems today must be resolved thoroughly, so that there will be no future troubles!

The Shen family members quickly gathered together.

Even the Minister of Works Shen Qinghe and the Vice Minister of Justice Shen Qingyan, who were left behind by Xiao Qi to discuss matters, hurried back.

"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness the Princess."

After all the Shen family members arrived, they bowed to Shen Qingxu and Shen Qiuchi together.

"I believe you all know why we gathered you here today." Shen Qiuchi sat upright on a high seat, looked at the people below and spoke slowly.

Shen Qingxu sat next to her, imitating her calmness. Although she was not as perfect as her, she never made mistakes.

"I know." said Shen Hanyang from the second branch of the Shen family.

When the eldest brother got into trouble, he, the second son, was the oldest.

He should be the one to step forward if anything happens.

"Since that's the case, I won't waste any more words. From today on, Shen Mingliang, the fourth branch of the Shen family, will become the new head of the Shen family! Do you have any objections?"

When Shen Hanyang heard this, his brows immediately frowned, and he was about to speak without thinking.

Xie Lianyi pulled him, wanting to wait for the third branch to speak first, but Shen Hanyang shook off Xie Lianyi's hand, walked into the hall, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Empress, I'm afraid this is not appropriate. When my eldest brother got into trouble, the position of the head of the family should fall to me, the second branch, or at least the third branch. How can it fall directly to the fourth brother? Where does this put us two brothers?"

Even though Shen Hanyang usually looks like a hopeless case, at this critical moment, he still knows to find someone to take the blame for him!

After all, the Queen Mother didn't even let her own father go. If he accidentally offended her, even if he was punished, he would at least have a companion!

But he wanted to fight for the position of head of the family. What if he succeeded?

"Oh? Tell me, what qualifications do you have to be the head of the family? Since the third branch has joined in, tell me too!" Shen Qiuchi's voice was cold and chilling. She swept her eyes over the Shen family and continued, "All of you can tell me. Whoever can convince me will be the head of the family. If you can't convince me, the fourth branch will be the head of the family, and you can't have any objections."

"In terms of age, besides my eldest brother, I am the oldest, so of course I am the most qualified to be the head of the family!"

From ancient times to the present, the position of the head of the family has always been ranked according to age, and there has never been any change! The eldest brother is dead, so he has a reason to fight for it anyway!

"Yes, Your Majesty, from ancient times to the present, the order has always been based on seniority. You previously asked the fourth branch of the Shen family to give all of their assets to this branch, which was already unreasonable. Now you are giving him the position of the head of the family as well, which is somewhat against tradition." Shen Zhaochang, the third branch of the Shen family, also stood up.

He is closest to the second wife, and is also at odds with the fourth wife.

He knew that no matter what, the position of the head of the family would never be his, so he might as well try his best to get it from the second branch, so that he could also benefit from it.

"It would be fine if you could talk about your advantages, but age is not ability. At best it only proves that you are old." Shen Qiuchi said word by word.

Shen Hanyang and Shen Zhaochang rolled their eyes inwardly. This Shen Qiuchi always picked out things they didn't want to hear.

She knew exactly what kind of people were here. There was a reason why the Shen family fell into decline!

She also knew why the second and third wives were fighting for the position of head of the family.

They just want to gain some benefits here so that they can enjoy themselves.

In fact, Shen Qiuchi could have directly issued an edict to let Shen Mingliang be the head of the family, but if so, I'm afraid that no one in the Shen family would be convinced, and they might even feel resentment towards Shen Mingliang.

It would be better to let them realize their own incompetence directly, so that everyone can be convinced of Shen Mingliang as the head of the family.

“I...I..." Shen Hanyang stammered "I" for a long time but couldn't say anything.

If he had known that the day would come when the head of the family would be replaced, he would not have lived a slacking life for so many years!

Now I have nothing to show for it, I have accomplished nothing, and I don’t even have the confidence!

"You said that the fourth branch cannot be the head of the family, but you don't have the ability to be the head of the family, so who can be the head of the family?"

"Although the fourth room is a concubine's child and younger than you, but for so many years, the fourth uncle has been managing the Shen family's business in an orderly manner. Your food and drink expenses are all earned by the fourth uncle outside. If it weren't for the management of the fourth uncle, the Shen family would have declined long ago."

"Moreover, the Shen family has always been ranked last among the big families and has never fallen down. In addition to relying on me being the queen, it is also because the eldest son of the fourth house is the Minister of Works."

"Tell me, if the owner of this family doesn't give the fourth room, who else can afford it?" Shen Qiuchi glanced at everyone in the Shen family with cold eyes.

They all lowered their heads and stopped talking.

"Even if the fourth branch has the ability and holds an official position, according to etiquette and order of seniority, the position of the head of the family should belong to our second branch!" Xie Lianyi, the wife of the second branch, said unwillingly.

"In this case, I will issue an order now to abolish this tradition."

"Come here, pass on my decree. From now on, the tradition of the elder inheriting the title of the head of the Shen family will be abolished, and it will be replaced by the capable one!"

"So, is Second Aunt satisfied?" Shen Qiuchi looked at Xie Lianyi with a sneer.

Her second aunt is not very smart. She and her second uncle together don't have even half the brains. And yet she wants to get her hands on the head of the family. Isn't she afraid of dying without knowing it?

Xie Lianyi gritted her teeth. Shen Qiuchi was really good at climbing up the pole. When she opened her mouth, she actually gave him something to talk about!

Seeing the frustrated look on the second branch, Shen Qiuchi sneered inwardly, "He's not good at anything, yet he wants to be the head of the family. Is he just daydreaming?"

Shen Qingxu: My sister is so domineering!

Xie Lianyi wanted to say something, but was stopped by Shen Hanyang.

Shen Qiuchi is the queen, so whatever she says is the final word. He has given up now and will not fight for the position of head of the family.

Shen Qiuchi said that Shen Mingliang should be the head of the family, but his wife jumped out again. Although he is a hopeless case, Shen Qiuchi kept him around to make an example of him.

He is pretty much useless as the head of the family, and he knows his own limitations. No matter how much trouble they make, they can't change Shen Qiuchi's mind.

If they insist on continuing to make trouble, it will only make Shen Qiuchi unhappy, and the second house will suffer.

Although he cannot become the head of the family, their life is still acceptable now. They have no worries about food and drink and have enough money. If he can't even take advantage of the situation, how can he get by?

Xie Lianyi turned around and saw her good-for-nothing husband in this state, and she was furious.

"It seems like you just came out to fart. I thought you were so capable and really wanted to give it a try!"

"Just shut up. It's good to fight for it. The Queen has already issued an order. Are you still rushing to seek death?"

"How could I marry a loser like you?"

"Stop it! You are so lucky to marry me. I wish you all the best!"

The two of them were whispering below.

Shen Qiuchi glanced at the two of them.

"Since the head of the family has been replaced, the Shen family will also be reformed from now on. Anyone who is lazy, idle, has no achievements, or violates moral laws will be punished according to the severity of the offense. The lighter ones will be reduced by half, and the heavier ones will be expelled from the Shen family!"

After these words were spoken, the second and third branches of the Shen family could no longer stand!

Shen Hanyang almost vomited blood!

Shen Qiuchi is clearly targeting them!

In the entire Shen family, only these two branches do nothing!

"Empress, you are too obviously targeting me..." Xie Lianyi couldn't help but speak!

"Yeah..." Shen Hanyang also echoed, and then his voice weakened!

"We were already living in poverty... and now..." Before Xie Lianyi could finish her words, Shen Qiuchi's eyes, as sharp as a knife, swept over and immediately scared Xie Lianyi back the rest of his words.

"Don't you have any idea why your family is in such financial difficulty?" Shen Qiuchi retorted.

"Yes, our family, ouch!" Shen Hanyang was about to respond when Xie Lianyi stepped hard on him!

"Just shut up, you lazy idiot!"

……

The elders of the clan did not say anything about this. It was time for the Shen family to make some corrections.

The second and third wives are really irrational, one loves eating and drinking, the other loves beautiful women!

If all the members of the Shen family were like this, even with these outstanding younger generations supporting them, it would only be a matter of time before they would be destroyed!

"Since everyone agrees, let the elders pick a good day to hold the handover ceremony for the head of the family."

The process of formally taking over the position of head of the family is actually very complicated.

They had to choose an auspicious day to open the temple and worship the ancestors of the Shen family. After that, they had to revise the family tree and finally go to the government to complete the paperwork.

Only then is it completed.

This is also the reason why Shen Qiuchi allowed the previous head of the family to continue to hold the title of head of the family.

She finds it troublesome.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Just when Shen Qiuchi and Shen Qingxu thought that the matter was settled and were preparing to go to pay tribute to their mother, Shen Qinghe, who had been silent all the time, spoke.

Everyone looked at Shen Qinghe in confusion, not understanding why he suddenly spoke.

The ones who benefit today are all the four rooms!

"Your Majesty, I feel that it is inappropriate to let the fourth house be the head of the family!"

"I hold an important position as the Minister of Works in the court. If my father succeeds as the head of the Shen family, I am afraid that people in the court will have complaints, which will be detrimental to the Empress."

"Please ask the Queen to revoke your order and choose another head of the family."

Shen Qinghe was in the court, so he naturally knew that everyone in the court was dissatisfied with Shen Qiuchi, and he also knew that Shen Qiuchi was in a difficult situation.

Today, Shen Qiuchi sacrificed her own relatives for the sake of justice. Tomorrow, those court officials might impeach Shen Qiuchi for being cruel and ruthless. If she lets the fourth branch, with whom she has a good relationship, become the head of the family, I'm afraid those people will directly accuse Shen Qiuchi of supporting the Shen family in its attempt to monopolize power!

If the emperor takes it seriously, he might be wary of Shen Qiuchi and the Shen family. At that time, it is possible that he will sideline the Empress of the Palace or take back power!

Xiao Qi: Brother, what are you saying?

Shen Qinghe didn't know how Shen Qiuchi and the emperor got along. He thought that now that Prime Minister Mu was in prison, his own strength was not enough to compete with those court officials.

Therefore, in order to prevent Shen Qiuchi from falling into a difficult situation, it is better for the fourth branch not to be the head of the family!
