Shuang Xiaohan and Meizi

"What happened?"

Coming in parallel with the man in gray, Qi Diaoming looked at the crying boy in front of him and asked Morun who was beside him.

"Father, it was the boy who broke into the garden and picked the water lilies, and the servants asked him for them, which scared him to tears." Morun explained simply.

"Elder." When the smart boy saw the man in gray, he immediately threw himself into his arms aggrieved.

"Why did you come here?" The gray-clothed man's voice revealed a hint of anxiety, and he looked worriedly at the ignorant Liyan of the young boy.

"I'm sorry, I lost my way and was bullied by bad guys, oh... Elder, this place is so scary, go back." The boy tugged on the sleeve of the man in gray and begged, even if he had already returned to his relatives, he couldn't make him forget what he had just done. People surrounded him and asked about the horrible experience.

"Okay, don't worry, it's all right." The man in gray didn't reply to his entreaty, but just wiped away the tears that gushed out again for him comfortingly.

On the side, Qi Diaoming stared at him, unable to tell what the surging emotions in his heart were, and frowned deeply inexplicably.

"Father, who is this?" Moran looked at the man in gray and asked him.

"This is the patriarch Ying Wumei of the Spirit Clan who came here for the Ascension Ceremony. This young man is exactly this generation of Lingzi." Qi Diaoming pulled his gaze back, pointing to the man in gray and the young man to introduce.

"Elder Ying." Mo Lun stepped forward to salute.

Ying Wumei looked at him and just nodded slightly.

His eyes became darker, and Qi Diao Ming said without moving: "Patriarch Ying, this is my eldest son and the next successor of the Qi Diao Mansion—Qi Diao Mo Lun."

"Mo Lun... Lun..." Ying Wumei murmured a few words almost silently, and suddenly her face changed drastically as if she thought of something.

"As the head of the family, can I talk to you alone about something?" He looked at Qi Diaoming with a cold expression.

Seeing his sudden abnormality, Qi Diaoming nodded, "Then invite you in the front hall." He made a gesture of invitation, then turned to Mo Lun and said, "You take Lingzi to the Chrysanthemum Garden and wait first."

"Yes." Mo Lun nodded, never ignoring Ying Wumei's cold expression since she knew his name.

"Elder." The young man looked at Ying Wumei with some hesitation. Although the person in front of him was a good person who helped him not to be bullied and promised to give him water lilies, he was still a little timid since he seldom went out since he was a child...

"Go, it's okay." Ying Wumei gave the young man a gentle and reassuring smile, watching him put his hand in Morun's hand unnaturally before being led out before looking away.

§§§§§

"Now, we can talk."

Returning to the front hall, Qi Diao Ming chose to sit down on the chair by the window.

"Of course." Ying Wumei nodded.

"Then Elder Ying can tell me, do you have any thoughts about Lun'er's succession as a representative of the Spirit Race?" Qi Diaoming looked at him coldly, to see how he would explain Morun's cold attitude.

"If my guess is correct, this eldest young master, the lacquer carving Mo Lun, should be the legacy of Ling Luomei." Ying Wumei said straight to the point.

"Yes, Lun'er is exactly Luo Mei and my child. So what?" Qi Diaoming didn't think it was something to hide.

"Sorry, according to the clan rules, Ling Luomei is a traitor. He knew the clan rules and had sex with you after the sacrificial period expired and gave birth to a child. What's more, he escaped everything by committing suicide. Therefore The elders of the clan made it clear that his child must never be married to Lingzi, and naturally, that is to say, his child must not inherit everything from the Qi Diao family." Ying Wumei stated the reasons for his objection with a cold expression.

Qi Diaoming raised his eyebrows, and said coldly: "This is just the rule of the Spirit Clan, what does it have to do with my Qi Diao Mansion? We just need to choose the most outstanding successor. On this point, everyone in the clan agrees child's ability."

"The head of the family is right. The successor of the new generation should be decided by the Qidiao clan themselves, and outsiders should not interfere, but..." Ying Wumei paused, "The spirit clan also has people who choose to combine with the spirit son. The right, this rule, the head of the family will not be clear."

"What Patriarch Ying means is that if the people of this generation are Morun, the Spirit Race will refuse to perform the ceremony?" Qi Diaoming narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes turned cold, "Patriarch Ying, do you understand that your words are threatening the I."

"Ying Wumei has no such intentions. Please don't misunderstand me. It's just that the spirit clan has its own rules on the matter of the son of a traitor becoming the heir." Ying Wumei's attitude remains unchanged.

"So the Spirit Race is insisting on this matter."

"As the head of the family, if I remember correctly, Qin Lian, the wife you are currently marrying, has given birth to three sons and four daughters for you. Could it be that none of these people is suitable? Why should the head of the family be obsessed with the descendants of the traitor?"

"Hehe..." Qi Diaoming suddenly laughed inexplicably, his voice was low and hoarse, and in this small space, his laughter at this moment was unexpectedly a little strange, "It seems that the Spirit Race is very fond of Luomei's birth. I really refuse to let go of the matter of having a child."

"Knowing the clan rules and disobeying them is a serious crime in the spirit clan. What's more, he violated the clan rules of the spirit clan and committed suicide. This is an unforgivable sin for a soul child." Ying Wumei said There was no ups and downs in the voice, and the flat tone perfectly matched the tone of an outsider's comment.

"Enough." With a deep and uncontrollable angry voice, Qi Diao Ming slapped the desk angrily: "Elder Ying may have made a mistake. Among the four sons and four daughters in the Qi Diao Mansion, except for Mo Lun, who was born to me by Luo Mei, there is only one time. The twins, Zi Mo Tan and eldest daughter Mo Ruo, are my own twins, and the others are all adopted by me, and none of them are qualified to inherit the Qi Diao Mansion. What's more..." Qi Diao Ming suddenly paused at this point, and he Standing up, his gaze instantly became cold and menacing, "Choosing Morun to be the new successor of the Qidiao Mansion is something that my Qidiao family has already decided, and no one can change it." In the last sentence, he could emphasize his tone Showed his determination.

"The elder should go back and have a good rest, and prepare for the Ascension Sacrifice. Don't worry about other things." Coldly throwing down the threat, he turned and left the front hall.

Seeing his angrily leaving back disappeared from sight, Ying Wumei turned around and followed the direction where the boy was taken away...
