Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

Chapter 3422: Patriarch, Isn’t This Too risky?

Editor: Atlas Studios

“In the Ji family, only one person is truly qualified to lead the family—Qiao Nian. She’s from an orthodox family, a true direct descendant. In this aspect, Ji Nan is inferior to her.”

Xie Yun’s eyelids twitched. She controlled herself and drank half a cup of tea to suppress the anger in her heart.

However, she still could not control her cold expression.

She really did not expect Ji Lingfeng to mention his background in public for Qiao Nian. He did not hesitate to expose his scars for everyone to see.

Everyone knew that Emperor Ji was an illegitimate child back then!

However, over the years, no one had dared to mention the words ‘illegitimate child’ in front of him, but he had implicitly mentioned it in public today!

Xie Yun took a deep breath and tried to calm her chaotic heartbeat, but in the end, she couldn’t help but look up at the man sitting at the top.

The Righteousness Hall was in an uproar. Everyone was discussing what he had just said.

He was the only one sitting in the center of the storm, as if he had prepared everything and was just waiting for the outcome.

As for the process… he was not afraid even if he was smashed into pieces!

Xie Yun suddenly felt that she didn’t understand this man.

Or rather, they had lived together for decades, but she had never understood him.

Second Elder finally recovered from his shock, and his eyes turned complicated. “Patriarch, you mean… you want Qiao Nian to be the successor?”

“No.” Ji Lingfeng interrupted him. “That’s not what I meant.”

Second Elder frowned. “That is…”

Ji Lingfeng’s large palm brushed across the table. Even though he was ill, his aura was commanding!

In front of everyone, he stated his purpose for today word by word. “I’m not in good health. I’m afraid I don’t have the energy to nurture a successor step by step. Therefore, I called everyone here today to discuss how she can directly take over the Ji family.”

Silence.

It was like a bomb thrown into the ground.

Everyone was stunned.

Including Second Elder and Fourth Elder!

Restrained by his presence, they previously kept their voices lowered and discussed carefully.

But at this moment, they couldn’t control themselves anymore.

“What?! Letting a little girl become our Matriarch? That’s not appropriate!”

“Yes, what does she know? Can she control the Ji family?”

“That’s right! Even if she has some relationship with the First Research Institute, besides being talented in weapons research, she knows nothing about managing a large family! Is the Patriarch crazy? Why would he hand the Ji family over to a little girl?”

This was unheard of in the independent continent. It was even shocking!

The Ji family had suffered consecutive setbacks because of Ji Ziyin’s matter. During this period, their reputation in the independent continent had decreased quite a bit. Even the Chamber of Commerce Alliance and the Hacker Alliance dared to come after them… At this critical juncture with wolves and tigers surrounding them, it was too risky for Ji Lingfeng to suddenly suggest that Qiao Nian take over the Ji family.

At the very least, a few elders disagreed.

Fifth Elder’s expression darkened. He slammed his teacup on the table and rejected it without thinking.

“No! This is against the rules. Moreover, she’s not a member of our family. She isn’t even in the family tree. How can she bypass all the tests and directly take over the family?”

Fourth Elder pondered and frowned at Ji Lingfeng. “Patriarch, isn’t this too risky?”
