Chapter 182
That day, the clan elder was knocked to the ground by He Jingmin's punch. He was about to continue to fight for his daughter's right to have a share of the name list, but who would have thought that he was pulled down from the main hall by the eldest brother and presented with the Spring Mountain Painting that the family had been reluctant to lend to others.
In his opinion, it was simply ridiculous. By giving a gift, the elder's fault became theirs, and they were treated as inferior for no reason. As soon as he planned to make a fuss, the elder brought up the gift as an excuse.
He Jingmin said angrily: "In my opinion, my elder brother just doesn't take Xin'er to heart. After all, she is not their biological daughter, so naturally he doesn't care about their feelings. Otherwise, how could my daughter suffer such a great injustice."
The girl who had been hiding in the corner and eavesdropping came out and said, "Dad, you can't say that about uncle. In order to appease the anger of the elders, he took out the treasured Spring Mountain Painting. At most, he just said that uncle didn't understand these twists and turns."
As she spoke, she gently picked up the wrinkled letter that He Jingmin had pinched and asked, "So, sister is going back to Beijing? Can we be reunited?"
The woman nodded and said, "Yes, but I'm afraid your sister will be angry with the elders. I hope her temper is still the same as in her previous life."
"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? Why couldn't you help her solve it before my sister came? Instead, you left it to my sister to solve it herself? Aren't we a family? As family members, we should do our best to create a warm and comfortable home for my sister." As she spoke, the girl slid down from the chair and ran towards Grandmother He's house.
The woman looked at the girl, then at the man in front of her, and sighed, "Ning Xin has grown up and knows how to protect her sister." She then said meaningfully, "It's a pity that her father is just as strong as before."
……
Because He Xiangan's family was all about martial arts, no one in the family, young or old, had the habit of foot binding, so they ran very fast. Soon He Ningxin rushed to He's grandmother's house. Seeing the candlelight still flickering in the house, she immediately knocked on the door and shouted, "Grandma! It's me."
"Come in, cough cough cough."
He Ningxin stuffed the letter in her hand into her sleeve, walked quickly to Grandmother He, and said with concern: "Grandma, please wear more clothes. I will cook you some pear soup tomorrow. It's good for your health. But I came here this time to tell you a good news. Sister Guo Xin will come to the capital in a few days!"
Hearing this, Grandmother He, who was leaning on the bed, immediately sat up, grabbed He Ningxin's hand, stared at her and asked, "Really?"
"Of course it's true." After a pause, He Ningxin lowered her eyes and turned her mouth to one side, "But Sister Guo Xin has never been recognized by everyone in the He family. Will she be very sad? What if she is still troubled by those elders on the day she arrives, and they will think that we don't like her."
"How could that be! Don't worry, grandma will never let your sister be harassed by those elders on her first day here. Although I, your grandma, am useless now, I can still stop those elders for a day."
After saying that, he remembered that although the third son's daughter looked naughty, she was not a heartless person. He was afraid that she had other purposes for coming here, so he said, "What else do our Ning Xin want to say?"
He Ningxin leaned into her grandmother's arms and said aggrievedly, "I like Sister Guo Xin very much, but the elders have always been unwilling for them to officially join the tribe. This is different from our initial promise to them. But my father did something wrong again, and my uncle also thinks that we should be patient with the elders."
When Grandmother He heard this, she instantly understood that the little girl in her arms wanted her to help Xin'er's family be included in the family tree. However, she had been bedridden for a long time and was away from the core of power in the He family. The help she could provide was limited. Otherwise, why wouldn't she have included the three siblings of Guo Ruosan in the family tree as soon as possible?
How could the title that should have belonged to the legitimate granddaughter of the He family be turned into a title for a farmer's daughter? It was already unfair to the deceased Chengde, and now Chengde's children were also being treated unfairly. Thinking of this, Grandmother He shed two tears, which fell on He Ningxin in her arms.
He Ningxin panicked, hugged Grandmother He gently, and said in a panic: "Grandma, what's wrong? If it's really difficult, forget it. Sister Guo Xin must have a way to deal with it."
Grandmother He shook her head and said, "I just feel more and more sorry for your sister and the others, but I think your sister took the initiative to bring up the idea of returning to the capital because she must have already had a solution in mind, or wanted to solve it herself."
"Besides, I have lived with your sister in Suining City for a period of time. She is a very smart person. Not only is she good at identifying people and using them, but she is also decisive in her actions. A seemingly insignificant business can be turned into a success in her hands. Moreover, she can propose ways to combat corruption, so now she has a plan to deal with these minor difficulties."
After that, he sighed deeply, looked at the small corner of the letter paper sticking out from He Ningxin's sleeve, and said, "I guess even though she didn't clearly state the countermeasures in the letter, you can sense from the words that there is a way, right? In our branch, your uncle is obsessed with martial arts and is too weak in dealing with human relationships. Your father is the type of person who is easily impulsive. Although the fourth child is a writer, he is not smart enough to support the He family."
He touched He Ningxin in his arms and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the person who is most likely to stir up our lineage is Chengde's daughter."
Although her body was already half buried in the earth and there was not much she could do to help Guo Xin, she still had to give it her all.
Some time ago, she received a letter from Xin'er, saying that she had developed a new type of glass product that was much better than the current tribute. If she could use the glass to successfully complete the matter of joining the clan, then there would be no need to wait for Xin'er's grandfather to return to Beijing.
……
The southeast corner of the capital is the place with the most spiritual energy besides the palace. Many aristocratic families gather here. As a member of the aristocratic family, the Pei family naturally occupies a large piece of land.
Knock, knock, knock! Mo Feifei, wearing a waist-length veil, knocked on Pei's door. The servant opened a corner of the veil and asked who it was. Mo Feifei lifted a corner of the veil, and the servant's originally somewhat confused eyes instantly cleared up, and he respectfully welcomed Mo Feifei in.
"According to the time calculation, she should be here by now, right?" In the study of Pei's mansion, a man stood in front of a bookshelf with a scroll hanging beside him. The scroll was yellowed, and it was obvious that it was very old.
As soon as he finished speaking, the servant knocked on the door of the study and said, "Master, Miss Mo is here."
Before she could finish, Mo Feifei directly pushed open the door of the study. She had pushed open this door countless times, but it had been such a long time since the last time she pushed it open, so long that she almost forgot it.
"What exactly do you want me to do when I return to Beijing?" She looked at the man, her eyes naturally looking at the scroll beside him.
