Riding the Pheonix Chapter 147: Disconnect

Sounds like a really sensible and considerate relative!

For the sake of the dignity of my in-laws, I would endure it no matter how uncomfortable it was, and wait until the guests had dispersed before speaking out.

But why do I always feel like something is wrong?

The second master forced a smile: "It's really difficult for you..." After thinking about it, he tried to change the topic, "They did something wrong, and they will be restrained from now on. Don't worry, the second master guarantees it!"

Who would have thought that Ji Ling, who looked touched just now, immediately changed his face: "Second Master, this is too easy! My aunt's death is in front of me, and my cousin's matter is in the back. Just a promise from you will Can you wipe this matter away?"

Not waiting for the Second Grandpa to get angry, he said softly: "I naturally believe you, but you guys live far away from each other. How can the Second Grandpa guarantee this? Didn't the Second Grandpa find out about my aunt's death only later? If this is a guarantee, "Second Master, please don't say it easily. I really don't want an elder like you to be tarnished by someone else's fault because of a slip of the tongue."

His two consecutive words, first throwing the second prince down and then picking him up, made him angry. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that what he said made sense.

Although they have the same surname and the same name, they have already branched off. How can I guarantee it? Although the Ji family is in decline now, judging from the character of the eldest brother, it is uncertain when it will rise again. On the contrary, the Ming family is currently involved in a rebellion case, and they don't know how it will end. If there was a quarrel over this matter in the future, wouldn't I be shameless?

Some people cherish their skin more and more as they get older. The second prince believed that he had been fair all his life, and he really did not want to gain fame for another distant nephew.

When he thought about it this way, his mind became biased.

"You are such a good boy for thinking about your cousin like this. So in your opinion, what should we do about this matter?"

Ji Ling was reassured after hearing his words.

What he planned today is already inseparable.

He said: "Second Master Mingjian, my father only has one sister, and the younger generation only has one aunt and cousin. Now that my aunt has passed away, we must not let our cousin spend the rest of his life because of his ignorance. Since the Ming family can't take care of it, To discipline her, why not just leave her to us!"

Although the Second Master was a little surprised, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was reasonable.

Their families have a marriage contract, and Xiao Qi will become a member of the Ji family in the future. Now that the Ji family sees that the Ming family is not treating her well, it is normal for them to want to take her away. Besides, it was her uncle's house.

So he looked at the Fourth Master: "Fourth Master, what do you say?"

The Fourth Master was startled for a moment, frowned and asked: "What did the eldest brother of the Ji family mean by leaving it to you? If you want to take Xiaoqi to the capital, we have no reason to stop her from going to her uncle's house. But what you said, It seems like it’s more than that?”

Ji Ling smiled: "Fourth Uncle Ming, what I mean is that from now on, my cousin will be disciplined by our Ji family. The Ming family will never interfere in her affairs!"

Is this to sever ties?

"No!" the fourth master blurted out, his brows furrowed tightly, "I have no problem with you taking her back, but you..."

"Fourth Uncle Ming!" Ji Ling raised his voice, "Our Ji family has swallowed the aunt's matter because the person involved is dead. Seriously, it's not just the Sixth Master who is at fault in this matter!"

This is a threat!

The fourth master was unhappy at first, and then felt guilty.

This fact was so unbearable that it finally came to an end and no one wanted to expose it again.

But he was asked to nod in agreement and let Xiao Qi sever ties with the Ming family, but he really couldn't do it.

It's not just a matter of face, but also a hidden thought.

The Ming family has already felt sorry for her, but they can't even keep her daughter? Even if Xiaoqi still goes to her uncle's house and will marry him in the future, she will still be Ming's daughter after all...

Look at Ji Ling, who looks like he won’t give up until he agrees. The Ming family was in a troubled time, and my great-aunt fell ill again and could no longer withstand the hardship...

At this time, Mingsheng came over.

He came over halfway through Ji Ling's words. He listened outside for a while and then stepped through the door.

"Dad." He leaned over and said, "Come out for a moment. I have something to tell you."

"What can't wait?"

Ming Sheng insisted: "It's a very important matter." Then he saluted the Second Master and others, as well as Ji Ling, "I'm sorry, please wait a moment."

The fourth master had no choice but to go out with him.

Mingsheng pulled his father to the corner and said, "Dad, please promise me, Cousin Ji!"

Seeing that he was talking about the same thing, the fourth master said: "How can I agree to it as a father? If you let go, Xiaoqi is no longer a member of the Ming family. Although your third uncle..." He paused and sighed, "He and your third aunt only have one daughter. If we leave the Ming family, there won't even be anyone to pay homage to her in the future."

Ming Sheng said: "Why is dad so pedantic now? What's the situation in our family now? Master Jiang let us go home not because we are innocent, but because we have done meritorious service and are merciful outside the law." After he has straightened out the affairs of Dongning and the Holy Spirit's decree is issued, we will all go to the capital to wait and see. Don't you know what the third uncle committed? This is a serious crime of treason, and he wants to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan. Mr. Jiang agreed Please help us plead for mercy, but if we are so sure, will the Holy Spirit show mercy?"

The fourth master was silent.

"Even if Cousin Ji doesn't say it, I still want to mention it. Not only Xiaoqi, but also Axiang, Xiaojiu... all those who can be sent to my uncle's house will be sent away. Tian'en Thunder, no one expected it. We don’t know how the Holy Council will react. Now Cousin Ji has said that we should just go with the flow and prevent her from being implicated by us if something unexpected happens..."

Speaking of this, Ming Sheng felt sad: "We have already felt sorry for Aunt Three, and we have also felt sorry for Xiao Qi. I really don't have the face to ask her for forgiveness, so let's just do the last thing for her!"

The fourth master felt sad after hearing what he said. ~IndoMTL.com~ Ji Ling drank tea for a while and chatted with the second master. The fourth master and his son came back.

Before he could speak, the fourth master said: "Eldest brother of the Ji family, what you said makes sense. Our family really can't take care of Xiao Qi now, so we might as well leave it to you to discipline us. It's up to you to take care of Xiao Qi. Just go back."

Ji Ling was surprised. what happened? Why does the fourth master's attitude change completely when he goes out?

He glanced at Ming Sheng and said with a smile: "Thank you, Fourth Uncle Ming, for your understanding. But this matter is unwarranted..."

The Fourth Master interrupted him: "Then make a written statement."

"..." Ji Ling blinked.

Wait, why so simple? He thought he would have to spend more time talking.

Over there, Ming Sheng had already brought a pen and paper, so Ji Ling had to restrain his thoughts and carefully discuss the contents of the document with the fourth master.

After setting up the written document, Ji Lingzai read it carefully several times to make sure there was no problem before carefully putting it away.

Just when he was about to open his mouth, Ming Sheng had already taken the lead: "Father, Xiaoqi is the only child of Third Uncle, so the property in Third Uncle's name should be handed over to her. Now that the document has been established, the property has also been delivered. Are you done?"

The fourth master nodded in agreement and asked him to get the account book.

There was no need to speak out what Ji Ling had prepared, so he swallowed it back.

This development is a bit strange!

He originally thought that getting property for his cousin would be the most difficult thing! After all, women's inheritance rights are limited. According to the laws of this dynasty, Hu Jue can only give her daughter half of the family property. The second bedroom of the Ming family has not been separated. If they really break up, it will be troublesome!

But judging from the looks of the fourth master and Ming Sheng, they plan to hand over all of Ming San's property, not even keeping the half...
