"Um."
Hearing this, Xie Yun walked away with a slightly heavy expression.
She was right to worry.
She had only taken a few steps in the old house when someone hurried over to her: "Madam."
Seeing the anxious look on the man's face, Xie Yun felt a heavy weight sink in his chest. He stopped and asked him, "What's the matter?"
The man stood in front of her, breathing heavily, looking extremely panicked: "Madam, the third elder and others gathered in the Juyi Hall and publicly said that they wanted to elect a new clan leader. They also said..."
"What else did they say?" Xie Yun let out a breath and looked at him solemnly.
The man hesitated, "They also said... the clan leader has been missing for five days, and the possibility of survival is zero. They can't wait any longer, they must immediately elect a new clan leader to lead the Ji family into a new stage."
Anyone with eyes could see that these elders gathered in the Juyi Hall were not trying to elect a new clan leader, but were clearly trying to force the lady to abdicate!
Xie Yun had anticipated this scene since she received the news in the morning, but she didn't expect Ji Zinyin and the others to arrive so quickly.
And there was no time at all for Ji Nan to come back.
Her heart was beating very fast, and she immediately ordered the man: "Go to the manor to find Nan Tianyi and tell him that I asked him to come over."
The servant lowered his head: "Yes."
For now, the only power Xie Yun can rely on is the power of her brother-in-law Nan Tianyi, and she can't think of anyone else she can rely on.
She straightened the wrinkles on her collar, and with a sullen face, she told another servant: "Let's go to the Juyi Hall!"
…
Xie Yun had prepared herself mentally along the way to fight these people head-on, and she was determined to buy time for Ji Nan to come back.
Who knew that as soon as she entered the Juyi Hall, she saw Old Lady Xie sitting on a high seat. Xie Yun's face changed slightly, revealing a look of surprise: "Mom? Why are you here?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized why Old Lady Xie was here. Xie Yun was so exhausted that she almost vomited blood.
She immediately walked over and asked Mrs. Xie to get up: "What are you doing here? Go back! This is not the place for you."
Mrs. Xie looked unhappy: "I came to see you, what is your reaction."
As she said this, she brushed Xie Yun's hand away, as if she was unwilling to leave.
Xie Yun was almost pissed off by her, and she had no way to deal with her 70-year-old mother, so she could only stare at her.
Old Mrs. Xie pretended she didn't see it, turned around and said to Ji Ziyin with a smile: "I came here with Ziyin."
Xie Yun no longer wanted to pay attention to her.
Mrs. Xie was unaware of this. She turned her head to look at her and scolded her in a low voice with dissatisfaction: "I heard that you don't like Ziyin? Lingfeng's whereabouts are unknown now. You can't keep dragging it out like this. I know you have feelings for him, but the family is more important. You can't just act on your emotions!"
Xie Yun had long known that her mother's heart was set on the Yellow River and she only cared about her younger brother's family.
Never cared about her and Xie Tingyun.
Their marriages are all tools for family alliances.
It was just that she was unlucky and married Ji Lingfeng, with whom she had no emotional foundation.
Xie Tingyun was lucky because the person he liked happened to be the one the Xie family wanted to win over, and the two of them fell in love and got together.
She knew that big families put profit first, and she rarely resented Mrs. Xie's original decision over the years.
But at this moment, Xie Yun only felt cold all over, and even her lips and teeth were cold!
Old Madam Xie relied on her status and didn't beat around the bush with her: "Ling Feng used to care about Zi Yin the most. Now that Ling Feng is gone, Zi Yin should naturally inherit the family position. Don't ruin the entire Ji family for a little selfishness!"
