I Am Actually the Old Patriarch of the Xiao Family

But some gaps cannot be made up with hard work after all, and no one knows this better than Ling Ying.

Although he himself was born in the ancient race, he is just an ordinary race, and it is not easy to cultivate to the present level.

Now that he is by Xun'er's side, he has found a good job for himself, and naturally he will have a good future in the end.

But that is without problems.

If something happened to Xun'er here, or if something happened.

Then the only way to wait for him is death.

He persuaded Xun'er to complete the task earlier and return to the family, but he actually had his own selfish motives.

Anyway, under Gu Yuan's arrangement, he has been bound to Miss Xun'er for the rest of his life. The longer he stays in the Xiao family, the more things may change, but if he returns to the ancient clan, it will be different .

"Since the young lady has made a decision in her heart, the old slave can't interfere with the young lady's decision. It's just that the clan is urging her more and more. I think it's because of the young lady's side..."

"Okay, Mr. Ling, you have been talking more and more recently. If you have this spare time to persuade me here, why don't you go to Brother Xiao Yan and see where he went."

After all, Xun'er is not a simple child, her soul is always much more mature than her peers.

"In my opinion, most of the secrets of the Xiao family can be found in brother Xiao Yan.

For the remaining part, maybe Brother Xiao Ding can also find some clues...

And that Concubine Ya, she might know a little bit.

Since the clan is so urgent, I really can't just do nothing, Mr. Ling, you should go and investigate Brother Xiao Yan's movements, and I will ask Brother Xiao Ding. "

Since Xun'er insisted on doing this, Ling Ying naturally couldn't disobey Xun'er's wishes.

Fortunately for him, the young lady finally started to get down to business.

Staying by Miss's side, sometimes Ling Ying doesn't know what Xun'er is thinking.

After all, Xun'er is not a simple child, but no matter what, now that she has started to do business, it is worthy of joy.

After Ling Ying and Xun'er confirmed what to do next, they left Xun'er's room.

Although there is a maid arranged by Xiao's family waiting outside Xun'er's room door, but for a fighting emperor, it does not take much effort to avoid the eyes of a group of people who have not practiced.

And after he left, Xun'er also showed a pensive expression on her face.

"This matter is really troublesome. The family has urged so many times for that piece of jade.

Thinking about it, if I don't do it again, it is very likely that the clan will use violence.

But so far, I haven't found out where that piece of Kodama is, what can I do..."

184 Xun'er's Exploration 【Subscription】

For the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade in the hands of the Xiao family, the Gu Clan actually spent a lot of thought.

After all, the soul of Xiao Xuan, the ancestor of the Xiao family, still exists in the celestial tomb. Gu Yuan is concerned about the relationship between him and Xiao Xuan, and will not tear himself apart from the Xiao family.

But other elders in the ancient clan may not be.

It was precisely because of this that Gu Yuan sent Xun'er to Xiao's house to get that piece of jade.

One is to let Xiao Xun'er have a happy childhood, and the other is to silence the old guys in the family.

As for her father's thoughts, Xun'er herself was also clear.

But as a daughter, she couldn't let her father bear too much pressure from the clan.

Even the patriarch can't decide everything by himself.

Especially for a big clan like the ancient clan, the forces within the clan are often intertwined, and it is very troublesome to calculate in detail.

The reason why Gu Yuan was able to become the patriarch was because he was strong and outstanding. He was able to balance forces in all aspects to maintain the stability of the clan.

But on another level, there are actually not a few people with such abilities.

It is nothing more than a little weaker than his strength, but when it comes to the size of the ancient clan, strength itself is not the most important thing.

It is the ability to maintain the stability of the group.

Gu Yuan has been the patriarch of the ancient clan for so many years, and his status has stabilized, so he has the courage to make his own claim on things like the ancient emperor jade.

But Gu Yuan has this ability, but it doesn't mean that Gu Xun'er also has it.

Even for the sake of her own father, Xun'er had to complete this plan to avoid being criticized by the group.

As long as she took Yu back, no matter how long it took, those old guys wouldn't say anything.

But if she can't take it back... Although those old guys dare not criticize Gu Yuan publicly, they will say bad things behind their backs.

So, she has to work harder.

When Xun'er found Xiao Ding, Xiao Ding was talking to Ya Fei.

Recently, there is nothing important to do at the Mittel Auction House. Wutan City has a high level of autonomy, not to mention most of the things are on the Xiao family's shoulders. For Ya Fei, she is naturally happy.

What's more, staying by Xiao Ding's side is something to be happy about.

Twelve or thirteen-year-old girls are just at the beginning of spring, and the appearance of Xiao Ding makes Ya Fei feel that her whole world is lit up.

During the recent period, she came to Xiao Ding on time every day as if she was working in Xiao's house.

Although Xiao Ding didn't bother her, but if there were too many times, he would delay the business after all.

"Can you stop looking at me like this? It makes me feel hairy."

"Don't pay attention to me, handle things well, I'll just watch you here for a while, and then I'll go."

Ya Fei supported her head with her arms, and looked at Xiao Ding with her big watery eyes.

Xiao Ding was very helpless.

Although Ya Fei said that he would leave after a while, in Ya Fei's definition, the word "a while" lasts from the time Ya Fei comes in the morning until she leaves at nightfall.

If Bai Yao is interested, then Ya Fei will stay here for dinner.

"By the way, have you finished dealing with the auction house? Why are you so idle recently?"

"Uncle Gu Ni handles the affairs of the auction house, let alone open it every day. I brought those stewards from home. Naturally, they can handle this matter well. Otherwise, why should I raise them?"

For Ya Fei, she doesn't need to worry about the affairs of the auction house at all.

Although she is capable, she should indeed be in charge of the affairs there, but even Hai Lao said that she can leave the auction house alone and just concentrate on doing what she wants to do.

"However, I see that you're bored sitting here, why don't you come over and help me with this."

Xiao Ding waved his hand, pointed to a large stall of official documents in front of him, and told Ya Fei.

Anyway, more than half of these things are related to the Mittel family, so there is no need to hide these things from Ya Fei.

Let Yafei help to deal with it, and it will save trouble.

As for leaks...

Xiao Ding didn't think about it at all.

The matter between Ya Fei and him has basically been settled by grandpa, whether it is grandpa thinking about him, or simply wanting to win over the Mittel family,

There is no possibility of turning this matter around.

What's more, Yafei is indeed a good girl, although at this stage Xiao Ding doesn't want to focus on his children's love,

But if necessary, he can certainly treat Ya Fei well.

After all, practice makes perfect for this kind of thing, and it's not the first time he has done it.

The two were sorting out official documents in the room when there was a knock on the door suddenly.

"Brother Xiao Ding, are you busy?"

Xun'er appeared at the door with a smile, glanced at the official documents on the table without leaving a trace, and then looked at Ya Fei in this direction.

"Sister-in-law is here, it seems that I interrupted."

"Sister Xun'er, what are you talking about?"

Yafei's face turned red visibly with the naked eye. Although she has honed her ability to remain calm in the auction all year round, it depends on the occasion.

Xun'er is a very smart person, although the Xiao family did not explain the relationship between Xiao Ding and Ya Fei, but judging from the number of times Ya Fei came and went to Xiao's house, as well as her usual behavior, she can naturally guess Ya Fei's true love. What is the purpose of.

As for this kind of thing, Xun'er can naturally understand it.

She is not a child who doesn't understand anything. She usually plays with children to maintain her innocence and to make herself look more like a child.

But if you really look at her as a child, no matter who it is, it's a little too naive.

It is for this reason that Xiao Ding never treats Xun'er as an ordinary child.

When he faced Xun'er, he treated her as an adult who could communicate with Xiao Yan the same way he did when he faced Xiao Yan.

It's just that when he was with Xiao Yan, he didn't speak defensively, but when Xun'er stood opposite him, he had to be more cautious when speaking.

"Why does my sister suddenly have time to come here?"

"Brother Xiao Yan didn't know where he went. I was bored by myself, so I just walked around. I happened to come here. I thought I hadn't seen my brother for a while, so I came in to have a look."

Xun'er looked at Xiao Ding's expression, and she was even more certain in her heart that Xiao Ding might know the existence of the ancient emperor jade.

After all, no matter in terms of age, ability to handle family affairs, or other aspects, Xiao Ding is the best candidate to be the next patriarch.

So, at this age, he has already come into contact with the authority of the family, can he know where the jade is stored?

Xun'er came here to make a surprise attack, but Ya Fei is here, so naturally she can't say too much.

What's more, talking too much will easily arouse Xiao Ding's vigilance. Xun'er doesn't want to startle the snake right now and expose her true purpose.

As long as Xiao Ding is sure that it is possible to know, then she can start with Xiao Ding's line next.

Everything was normal.

However, she did not expect that Ya Fei was still here at this time.
