Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

Chapter 2873  Itʼs Just an Hour. Uncles, You Shouldnʼt Be in a Hurry, Right?

At the Ji familyʼs old residence.

”Then, Elders, letʼs begin,” Ji Xiao said with a smile.

The Righteousness Hall buzzed with discussion.

”I think itʼll work!”

”Yeah, dragging it out isnʼt a good idea.”

”The former Patriarchʼs whereabouts are unknown. We need to choose a new Patriarch to lead the family forward…”

Ji Xiao looked around and then spoke to the elders. ”Alright, which elder would like to go first?”

”Iʼll do it.”

Ji Hongyuan stood up unhurriedly and then turned his head in Ji Ziyinʼs direction. ”I support Ziyin taking over the Patriarch position.”

Ji Ziyin met his gaze and smiled respectfully before bowing. ”Thank you for believing in me, Sixth Elder.”

The people who went to the Tianshui Private Clubhouse yesterday had their own considerations upon seeing this scene.

The elders spoke one by one.

”In that case, Iʼll share my thoughts. I also support Ji Ziyin as the next Patriarch. At the very least, she has some research results on black gunpowder.”

He said this for Xie Yun to hear.

Of course, Xie Yun knew their plan. She took a deep breath and looked at the few neutral elders.

”Fourth Uncle, do you also think that a person who has been expelled from the family tree can become the next Patriarch?”

The old man who was called out by her looked stunned. He did not dare to look her in the eye and hesitated for a moment before saying, ”What they said makes sense. But according to the rules, she indeed doesnʼt have the right to become the Patriarch…”

Xie Yun unclenched her fists and her expression softened. Then, she firmly said, ”Then letʼs wait for Ji Nan to come back!”

Everyone in the Righteousness Hall looked at her.

Xie Yun straightened her neck slightly like a proud swan and looked around at these uncles and elders who harbored ill intentions. Then, she said with a graceful expression, ”Ji Nan will be here in an hour. Uncles, you shouldnʼt be in a hurry, right?”

She did not wait for Ji Hongyuan and the others to answer and continued, ”Of course, if all of you plan to go ahead with this, we, orphan and widow, have nothing to say!”

”What are you talking about?”

”Yeah, we didnʼt mean that.”

”What will people think of us if word gets out?”

The most excited elders looked at each other while internally blaming her for saying the ʼwrongʼ words.

Xie Yun stood her ground and withstood all the pressure without a change in expression, unyielding and refusing to break!

”Since thatʼs not what you mean, everyone, wait for an hour for Ji Nan to get here. Otherwise, if the elders insist on finalizing the matter, I can only think that his elders donʼt want to see him return!”

What could the elders say at this point?

All of them were rendered speechless by Xie Yunʼs provocation.

Ji Ziyinʼs eyes turned cold as she tilted her head and gave Old Madam Xie a look.

Old Madam Xie immediately understood and interrupted her, breaking Xie Yunʼs imposing manner. ”How can you speak to an elder like that? The Ji family elders are thinking for the familyʼs sake! Iʼm Ji Nanʼs grandmother, and my heart aches for him, but I know that this kind of thing canʼt be dealt with emotions alone. What will Lingfeng think of you? Will he be peaceful up there?”

The elders found it difficult to speak due to Xie Yunʼs status.

But Old Madam Xie was different.

She would always be Xie Yunʼs biological mother.

With a mother criticizing her child for doing wrong, would others feel burdened?
