On the third day of the Lunar New Year, there was still one day before the Fu Family Hall Meeting was held.
All heads of the Fu family in country G have arrived in the imperial capital to wait. This is the first time the Fu family has held a meeting in more than ten years after the death of the previous head, Fu Yuan.
The purpose of this meeting must be clear to each family, which is to determine the next head of the family.
There are only two brothers, Fu Yuheng and Fu Yuxiu, in the direct line of the Fu family. Of course, this position is given to one of them.
Of course, the support rates of the two in the Fu family have basically reached an equal level.
Privately, the two forces have been fighting to the death for a long time. There are many people who are not taking sides. Those who are watching and waiting will eventually make a decision.
It’s really unclear who Mr. Fu will give his position to at this retirement party.
Due to the convening of the church meeting, the always bustling Imperial City has recently welcomed many prominent figures.
These people were also quietly waiting for the meeting to be held, waiting to see whose hands the Fu family would eventually fall into.
It was still quiet at the door of Li's house. Half of the soldiers guarding the house had been reduced, and Mo Wei no longer came here once a day like he did a few days ago.
No matter how much the Li family investigated, they couldn't find anything, so in the end they had no choice but to let it go.
In the imperial capital, if you want to shake the status of a big family, just this little bit is nothing.
"Second Lieutenant, is it time to retreat?" the subordinate asked.
Mo Wei glanced at the extremely quiet Li family, "Has anyone been here at noon?"
The man thought for a while and said honestly, "The eldest lady of the Li family has come back, and she seems to be accompanied by someone from the Fu family."
Mo Wei was silent for a while, then finally picked up the steps and walked inside, "Follow me in."
During this period of time in the imperial capital, many troublesome people have been pouring in because of the Fu family, and the superiors issued an order for him to withdraw from the Li family.
The defense of the entire imperial capital may need to be stepped up.
Mo Wei was always thinking about that half of the face. It was the second young lady of the Li family, and it was definitely not that person.
The hall of the Li family was quite quiet. Wen Li brought Fu Yuxiu over at noon and stayed there until now.
Because of the Fu family, Li Langhua was always with him.
"I think it's getting late. Why don't you, Master, stay here and have lunch." Li Langhua said.
Fu Yuxiu nodded, and Rachel over there smiled and went into the kitchen to tell the servants to cook.
Since Wen Li returned to Li's house, Fu Yuxiu accompanied Wen Li often in and out of Li's house, but this was the first time he had a serious meal at Li's house.
Sitting next to Li Langhua were Li Li and Li Ruobing. The two sisters were talking and laughing, but Li Yuanzhi had not been seen since they entered the house.
"Wen Li, how could you guess that Liu Xiangxiang killed Huang Ying?" Li Li asked about the doubts he had been having these days.
The case was closed yesterday morning. Liu Xiangxiang could not withstand the police's questioning, and her DNA was found in the autopsy results.
We were hired within an hour of going in.
I heard that Liu Xiangxiang and Huang Ying had a cooperative relationship at the beginning. Huang Ying promised to give Li Li 500,000 yuan after kicking her out of Imperial University.
As a result, Liu Xiangxiang failed to get the money, and she was ruined because of the streaking incident. There was a lot of negative information about her on the school forum.
In addition, Huang Ying withdrew her in order to save herself, Liu Xiangxiang was almost at the point where thousands of people would accuse her.
She also went to Huang Ying that night to get money from her, but Huang Ying refused.
The whole person became so angry that he accidentally pushed the person down.
As soon as he ran to the stairs, he saw Li Li going upstairs, so he hid and waited until his classmates caught up with him before pretending to be a witness.
In order to further ignore Li Li's accusation, he encouraged her to escape in her ears.
Successfully diverted everyone's attention to Li Li.
"I just didn't expect that Huang Ying and Liu Xiangxiang had such a good relationship at that time, but they ended up in such trouble." Li Li sighed.
Seeing her like this, she seemed to know nothing.
Wen Li looked at Li Ruobing, who gently shook his head at her.
Grandma had told her not to let Lili know about her father for the time being. She had just suffered this disaster and needed a good rest.
Li Yuanzhi had already left home yesterday, saying he was going to relax and not go to the company.
Li Langhua and Li Li were talking, and it was obvious how much the return of her granddaughter affected her mood.
As soon as Mo Wei entered the door, he heard Li Langhua's laughter. After all, he was the head of the Li family. Even at this stage, he was still as free and relaxed as ever.
"Master Li, after having trapped you for so many days, it's time for us to withdraw." Mo Wei came to Li Langhua and spoke.
He wore a dark green military coat on his upper body, and long military boots could be seen on his lower body, leaving light marks on the dark carpet.
"Second Lieutenant Mo came in a hurry and left in a hurry, why not stay for a meal?" Li Langhua sat up straight and smiled.
"Recently, the number of people coming and going in the imperial capital has been complicated, and my superiors have arranged for me to prevent and control security. I will not bother you for the past few days, but again, if the Li family abides by the law, I don't think the head of the Li family will see me again. of."
As he spoke, Mo Wei turned around and glanced up at the two people sitting opposite Li Langhua.
Both men and women have extremely outstanding looks, and it is very pleasing to the eye to sit together.
But when he saw the girl's face, Mo Wei squinted his eyes and glanced at her briefly.
If he felt similar when he saw Li Li for the first time, but now, it is no longer similar.
"Does Second Lieutenant Mo have anything else to do?"
Li Langhua noticed his eyes and felt a little dissatisfied.
"Who is this?"
His gaze was clearly directed at Wen Li. Fu Yuxiu sat up straight, just blocking Wen Li's face.
When he raised his eyes, the man's eyes were unkind and he glanced over lightly.
But with just one glance, Mo Wei stood still and did not dare to move. Like a prey being stared at, the coldness in the man's eyes was enough to freeze everything.
Even if Mo Wei doesn't know the young master of the Fu family, he still knows Fu Yuxiu.
I am afraid that no one who has stayed in H Continent will fail to remember this name.
Fu Yuxiu.
"That's my eldest granddaughter." Li Langhua said from the side, "Although she didn't grow up next to me, she is absolutely outstanding."
This last sentence seemed to remind Mo Wei.
He smiled, didn't dare to speak again, picked up the steps and walked out, but turned back after taking two steps.
"I wonder if the head of the Li family has a grandson who is similar to them in age?"
Li Langhua was a little stunned by this question, but quickly recovered, "I only have three granddaughters."
Mo Wei glanced at Wen Li, who was not looking at him, and chuckled, "I met an extremely powerful young man in S State back then. His facial features and eyes really looked like your eldest granddaughter."
The young man's heroic appearance will probably never be forgotten by the generals who participated in that war.
A young man who can single-handedly end the war and restore peace to the entire S continent.
"But it seems that I made a mistake."
Mo Wei walked out of the Li family's living room calmly. Li Langhua glanced at Wen Li and said nothing.
"I wonder if you have any particular tastes, young master? Are there any taboos?" Rachel came out of the kitchen and asked.
The man who was picking nuts for Wen Li looked up and said casually, "I will eat whatever she eats."
Already quite compliant.
Li Ruobing smiled and said, "Young Master and Wen Li have such a good relationship." If such a arrogant man could be defeated by a pomegranate skirt, then he would be accommodating to her. One can imagine Wen Li's status in his heart. .
"Young Master, can you have a chat with me before dinner?" Li Langhua suddenly spoke.
Fu Yuxiu gently put a handful of peeled nuts in Wen Li's hand. Before getting up, the man rubbed her head to comfort her.
"I'll be back in a moment."
Li Ruobing looked at the man leaving with envy. From the moment he walked in, the young master's eyes were filled with Wen Li.
It's great to be able to find such a man.
However, seeing Wen Li and Fu Yuxiu like this reminded Li Ruobing of something happened between them.
She was so happy these days because Lili was back that she forgot about it.
"Grandma said that your marriage to Yun Xiao has been decided. Are you sure about it?"
That face flashed before Li Li's eyes, resolute and aloof, and the hands holding her were so warm and strong.
"Sister, do I have to marry him?"
She knew what grandma meant, she wanted to hand over the Li family to her, and she wanted Yun Xiao to be her helper.
But she has always had a brother-sister relationship with Yun Xiao.
"Miss, the Yun family is here."
These few days of the New Year are also the busiest time for families like them. On the first day of the new year, all the descendants of each family will come to visit and pay New Year greetings.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, worshiping ancestors and burning incense was also a busy time.
It's the third year of junior high school for the Yun family, so they have to pay a visit.
"Invite them in quickly."
…
In Li Langhua's study, Fu Yuxiu and the old lady sat facing each other.
The atmosphere was solemn and very quiet. After organizing his words, Li Langhua finally spoke.
"Young Master, will you take the position of master?"
Such a straightforward question was the answer she wanted to know most.
Fu Yuxiu chuckled, "Master Li, are you asking this for the sake of the Li family?"
Li Lang shook his head, "I do it for Wen Li."
Now is the most dangerous time for the Fu family's power change. Whoever takes the position of head will directly determine everything that follows.
She knew Fu Yuheng's character well. If he took the position of head, the Fu family might not be able to develop very well.
Because to put it bluntly, the young master is a mediocre person who only has the support of Mrs. Fu behind him.
Now every family is facing the problem of taking sides. Ning Muzhang's father had already contacted her yesterday.
The purpose is very clear, she hopes that she can support Fu Yuheng during the meeting.
But beside Fu Yuxiu, after all, there is Wen Li and her granddaughter.
She must think about Wen Li.
"So, you are thinking about whether your granddaughter can become the mistress of the Fu family?" Fu Yuxiu said bluntly.
Li Langhua shook his head, that was not what she cared about.
"Wen Li didn't grow up by my side, and she finally returned to the Li family. I owe her a lot. If possible, I don't want her to get entangled with you, let alone become the mistress of the Fu family."
That position means more trouble and more danger.
With Wen Li's ability, she could afford it, but the child's temperament was too cold.
She has suffered a lot in the past twenty years, and Li Langhua hopes that she can spend the rest of her life in peace.
This is also the thought of the elders towards the younger ones.
"I still want to know, is the young master sincere to Wen Li?" Li Langhua hesitated for a while before asking this question.
The dignitaries in the imperial capital are sometimes prodigal in love, and sometimes they are consensual transactions.
"What do you think?" Fu Yuxiu asked back.
Looking at the old lady, her eyes were full of coldness.
She knew that this was the man's displeasure at her questioning.
In this case, she could see it clearly and understand it.
"If the young master needs it, our Li family is willing to go all out, but if the young master is not sincere to Wen Li, please return her to me."
Since everything is irreversible, it is better to restore the situation to the time when it is most beneficial to them.
If Wen Li and Fu Yuxiu were sincere, she could also see that Wen Li really liked the young master, and if Fu Yuheng took the position of the head of the family.
Then Fu Yuxiu will definitely not be merciful, and correspondingly, Wen Li next to Fu Yuxiu will definitely be affected.
She could only try her best to keep Wen Li and push them to the highest position, so that the child would be safe for the rest of his life.
"Master Li, you underestimate her too much."
Fu Yuxiu only said this sentence.
This stopped Li Langhua's thoughts and concerns, and it was indeed the case.
Li Langhua felt so sorry for Li Li that he planned to give her all the help, including marriage, and only wanted to give her the best.
Similarly, she also felt sorry for Wen Li, who had been wandering for more than ten years, and she wanted the best for her.
But they ignored the abilities of these children themselves.
"Can I understand that the head of the Li family thinks that I can't protect her? I'm not qualified to be with her?"
Fu Yuxiu seemed to understand everything with this glance.
"No..." she replied.
But the sound was very small.
Li Langhua's mind was also pricked. She did think about it. After all, Fu Yuxiu didn't have the support of his mother's family like Fu Yuheng, and they had also stabilized the foundation of the Fu family over the years.
Although Mr. Fu is very fond of this little grandson now, where is his origin? It is not clear whether he can be included in the Fu family's genealogy.
If Mr. Fu dies one day, Fu Yuxiu's advantage over the Fu family will be completely gone.
It is not certain whether Fu Yuheng, who takes the position of leader, will let Fu Yuxiu go, and the rumors outside these years are not all false.
Elders always have to think clearly about their children.
She also just wants to think about a better future for Wen Li. If Fu Yuxiu is not sincere, she must protect Wen Li.
At least the Li family can protect her and lead a worry-free life.
"As long as I, Fu Yuxiu, am alive, I will not let her suffer the slightest injustice or suffer the least hardship. The head of the Li family can rest assured."
After saying this, Fu Yuxiu walked out of the room.
Li Langhua was sitting on the sofa, not knowing what he was thinking.
