Chapter 123 The Ancestor Wants to Host a Banquet

"You..." Mingcundao was annoyed. Therefore, there was no one more annoying than Yan Nianjun. He always talked about things that were not related to the topic. His words could make people feel choked. All the members of the Yan family had this problem.

Yan Nianjun glanced at him and spoke again leisurely: "I'm sure you all know that our Yan and Gu families have an engagement. I've made it clear that if anything happens to my daughter-in-law, don't blame me for turning my back on her."

The others looked at him in surprise, wanting to confirm the truth of his words. Why did the Yan family bring up this matter when the person disappeared? What kind of mentality did they have?

"What? You don't believe it? Haha, I've already made it clear in the clan that he is very fond of Master Gu, and is willing to marry only one wife in this life and never take a concubine. If anything happens to Master Gu, he will never marry his daughter again in this life. You tell me, you all want me, Yan Nianjun, to have no children or grandchildren, so why should I show you any mercy?" Yan Nianjun's tone was light, as if he was saying that the weather was nice today, but the weight of his words was so heavy that it made people feel breathless.

Ming Cundao felt even more depressed as if he had made a powerful enemy without realizing it, but he clearly just wanted to take advantage of the situation, so how did it end up like this? He couldn't figure it out, it seemed like fate was always against him.

The four old ancestors looked at the expressions of the people in the field, and they felt sad. The ancient saying goes: "When things are together for a long time, they will separate; when they are separated for a long time, they will come together." This is a wise saying at any place and at any time. When the Thirteen Protectors were passed down to this generation of the head of the family, there were too many uncertainties. People's hearts are fickle, and they are fickle. There are some trends that even they can't do anything about. While sighing, the four people were also glad that at least their family was not bad. Although they could not be compared with the next generation of the Yan and Gu families among the younger generations, they were also the best compared with others. There is a saying that it is better than the worst. As long as they don't do too much like the kid from the Ming family, as members of the thirteen families who are in a group, they will enjoy certain benefits if the heirs of any family are outstanding. The old ancestor Duanmu was happier than the other three. His grandson who joined the army sent back a message saying that he and the little girl from the Gu family were close friends, the kind who could trust each other with life and death, and asked him to take good care of the headquarters and not to make enemies with them. How could he make enemies with those two little guys? It's too late to make friends. It doesn't matter if you don't have the ability. It's also a skill to be able to flatter others. He doesn't mind. Just like him, he doesn't have much ability, but he has good eyesight. He follows Brother Yuan closely. Isn't he still enjoying a good life?

"My Yuan family stands on the side of the Gu family. Our thirteen families have been connected for hundreds of years. The younger generations of each family are our common foundation, especially the outstanding younger generations. They are our hope for the future. We should cherish them, love them, treasure them, and protect them. Instead of suppressing them or even murdering them." The head of the Yuan family did not look at the expression of his ancestor. It made no difference whether he looked at him or not. That's what he thought.

Then, Patriarch Xiao, Patriarch Duanmu, and Patriarch Wu also said something similar. After a while, Patriarch Tie, Patriarch Su, Patriarch Zhuge, and Patriarch Shangguan also nodded in agreement. Patriarch Li and Patriarch Leng looked at each other and agreed with Patriarch Yuan's words. Although they had their own little thoughts and looked down on the little girl from the Gu family, they were of one mind in terms of the big standpoint.

Ming Cundao was isolated again. He asked with a trembling voice: "You, you...what do you mean?"

Do you want to kick his Ming family out of the thirteen families? He doesn't want to be like the Gu family, who were neglected, excluded, and suffered for hundreds of years. If that happened, his ancestor's coffin would be shaken off.

"Use your brain when doing things next time, and don't be fooled by a few words. As for this matter, you can only wish for the best. It's best to pray that the little girl can return safely, otherwise I don't know how you will end up." The head of the Yuan family did not sympathize with him. Anyway, he really looked down on Ming Cundao. His narrow vision only saw the little benefits in front of him, but never thought about the tragic consequences of losing the watermelon and not even being able to pick up the sesame seeds. But as the head of the first main family of the Thirteen Protectors, he still gave him some advice from time to time.

Mingcundao...Why am I always the one who gets hurt?

He said hesitantly, "But I didn't do anything, and I didn't mean to hurt that little girl. The tempting idea was from Qin Yanqing, the deceptive news was from Kuikong and Guangrong, and the nail-cutting was done by people sent by Princess Xianyun. What does it have to do with me?"

Patriarch Xiao couldn't help but sneer, "It has nothing to do with you, so how do you know these things?"

He didn't even realize he was being treated as a fool. He really didn't understand how such a person could sit with them. Was there no one left in the Ming family?

"Of course they told me." Mingcun said with an expression that said "Do I need to tell you this?"

The head of the Xiao family was so angry that he turned his head to look at him. Talking to a fool will make you a fool. He wanted to stay away from him.

The family heads...their status has been lowered, and their IQ has also been lowered.

At this time, Patriarch Duanmu spoke up: "Ming family kid, I know the brainless woman Xianyun you mentioned, but what about Qin Yanqing? Qin Yingying, that kid, should know how serious it is to offend us. Could you be mistaken?"

Ming Cundao curled his lips and said, "Who knows, maybe that girl is hated by others."

Yan Nianjun thought for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, there must be someone in the Qin family who is confused. The first business of the Gu family, Songhua eggs, was a cooperation with the Qin family. At first, the cooperation was quite pleasant, otherwise the Gu brothers would not have followed the Qin family's motorcade when they came to Beijing to visit their children. This happened about two or three years ago. The couple was too excited and ran away. They forgot the car in the motorcade. When they remembered to look for it, the steward who led the team denied it. But because there were valuable items in the car, the Gu brothers and their husbands were unwilling to give it up. Later, Madam Tong came forward and went directly to the steward's house to catch them red-handed. Later, considering the cooperation, the matter was left unresolved, and later the Songhua eggs were handed over to the emperor. Maybe they hold a grudge against them because of this."

"Isn't this the Qin family's fault?" someone asked in confusion.

"Aren't there always some people with strange brain structures and ugly looks?" The head of the Xiao family said while glancing at Ming Cundao.

"Oh..." The head of the family who asked the question stretched out his voice and glanced at Ming Cundao.

Mingcun said: I know you are talking about me, but I can't do it alone and I dare not confront you.

"It seems that we old guys have not moved for too long and no one remembers us. Brother, let's go out for a stroll some other day." Ancestor Duanmu used to be a scoundrel, and everyone knew him.

Seeing that Yuan Laozu was still thinking, Ancestor Wu and Ancestor Xiao joined the group of people who were encouraging him: "Brother, we haven't shown up for a long time, why don't we take this opportunity to go out for a walk? It's rare to see old friends, why don't we meet at a tea party or something?"

The Yuan Laozu was finally moved and nodded in agreement. They needed to keep a low profile, but that didn't mean they could be provoked. In their opinion, the Qin family's move meant that they were not taken seriously.

When the four great ancestors were dispatched, the lower-class people in the capital were not affected at all, but a great wave was caused among the higher-ups.

In the palace, Wei Da was kneeling in the imperial study: "Your Majesty, the four ancestors of those families want to host a banquet."

The emperor, who was reviewing the memorial, paused, his expression stagnant, and after a long while he asked, "Do you know what this is about?"

Wei Da: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, for not knowing this."

The emperor waved his hand: "It's not your fault, get up."

After sending Wei Da away, the emperor sat there alone and thought deeply. Although the negotiations were not deep, those families had always been stable. What was the deep meaning of this move? He was puzzled!

However, Wei Da came back soon and solved his puzzle.
