Chapter 60
The Lin family’s ancestral hall is in the southwest corner of Beixi Villa, where there is a separate house, which is completely built according to the ancient family temples.
The ancestral hall is very large. In addition to the main hall that enshrines the ancestral tablets, there is also a lounge and conference room.
Lin Shangyi lay on the rattan chair in the lounge, his eyes slightly closed.
Li Muchen sat aside, putting his finger on the old man's pulse door.
Lin Shangyi's qi is still stable. After the true qi extends his life, his vital signs stabilize, but his soul is still very weak.
It can be seen that the wizard who casts the book of Nailheads did not give up.
If that person is not found, Lin Shangyi will still die within three days.
Li Muchen knew this very well.
A wisp of true energy passed into the body, and Lin Shangyi slowly opened his eyes.
He sighed long:
"It's so comfortable! It seems that my old bones can live a few more days."
Li Muchen smiled and said, "Your health is fine, and if there is no accident, there is no problem living a hundred years old."
Lin Shangyi laughed: "Thank you for your good words. I am over 80 years old. It doesn't matter whether I can live past 100 years. In a century, I always have a thousand years of worry. Living for a few more years is also a few more years of sorrow. Now I just want to arrange my funerals and don't let any more trouble happen to my family after I leave."
Li Muchen didn't answer this.
He doesn't understand the Lin family's affairs and it is not convenient for him to interrupt.
But the old man didn't seem to think so.
"Mu Chen, my eldest nephew is indeed a bit dandy. He has lacked discipline since he was a child. For my sake, don't bother with him. Laifeng is the son of my eldest brother. When the Lin family suffered a great disaster, if it weren't for my eldest brother, I would have died then."
Li Muchen knew what the old man meant, so he said, "I didn't take Lin Shaoheng to heart, but if they messed with me again, I dare not assure you anything."
Lin Shangyi nodded and sighed: "Okay, if they commit evil again, I can't protect them anymore. You go to the conference room first to wait for me, and I will say a few words to Chanming and I will come."
The family conference room was on the second floor of the ancestral hall. When Li Muchen entered, it was already full of people.
Everyone's eyes fell on Li Muchen and they started whispering.
When I saw him and Lin Manqing, anyone who had never seen him guessed that this was the old man's designated by the Lin family's new son-in-law.
But they didn't expect that Lin Manqing would be so direct and brought him into the Lin Family Ancestral Hall.
According to the rules of the Lin family, only after formal marriage can the wife or son-in-law be eligible to participate in family meetings of this level.
The conference room was very large, and Li Muchen noticed that the Lin family's seats were obviously divided into two groups.
On one side, there are many people who are centered on Lin Qiusheng's family, including Lin Qiufeng and Lin Yue'e's and many others.
On the other hand, Lin Laifeng is the center, including Lin Laiyi and Yuan Guocheng, with fewer people than the former.
Although Lin Laifeng was sitting among the crowd at this time, he was worried. When he saw Li Muchen coming in, his face became even more ugly.
When Lin Laiyi saw Li Muchen, she was very angry and stood up and asked loudly: "What are you here to do? This is the Lin Family Ancestral Hall and a family meeting. What qualifications do you have to attend?"
"It was Grandpa who asked him..."
Lin Manqing just explained, but was interrupted by Lin Laiyi:
"Don't move the old man out at any time. The rules of the Lin family were set by their ancestors. Even if the old man designated a engagement for you, as long as you are not married, you are not from the Lin family and you are not qualified to enter the Lin family ancestral hall!"
Lin Laiyi is the eldest sister of the Lin family. She has always been strong and relies on her husband's power in Qiantang and has a great say in the Lin family.
What she said this time is true. The Lin family does have such rules. Li Muchen entered the ancestral hall and broke the rules.
People began to whisper:
"Yes, why did you come before you get married?"
"Young people today really don't understand the rules."
If there is an unknown situation, I asked: "Is this Manqing's boyfriend? Which family's son is?"
"I don't know, it seems that it is the doll kiss that the old man had given a long time ago."
"What kind of young master is there? I heard that I used to pick up rags. I don't know how much wine the old man drank back then, so I gave this relative to him."
"Picking up rags? It's impossible!"
...
Listening to these comments, Lin Manqing was very embarrassed.
But she is just a junior, and she has no say in such a place and doesn't know how to explain it.
Mrs. Lin Yan Huimin felt sorry for her daughter, so she stood up and said, "Sister, what you said is that the younger generation is ignorant, so it is not that serious."
Yan Huimin didn't know that Lin Shangyi asked Li Muchen to come, and she thought that Lin Manqing had decided to bring Li Muchen in private, so she felt a little guilty when she spoke.
Lin Laiyi sneered: "Younger is ignorant, are you not sensible? It is not serious to break the rules of the ancestors. It seems that the tutor of your Yan family is just like this. But don't forget that this is the Lin family's ancestral hall, not your Yan family!"
Yan Huimin's face turned red suddenly. Lin Laiyi was no longer attacking her, but taking her to her parents' home.
But it was hard for her to refute, after all, her daughter did it wrong first.
She glanced at Lin Manqing and couldn't help but blame her, why are this child doing so anxiously?
Lin Laiyi looked at Yan Huimin and Lin Qiusheng coldly: "Why, the head of the Lin family doesn't even take the rules of the ancestors seriously? Then will we discuss it later, change the rules or change the head of the family?"
Lin Qiusheng's face changed and he said in a deep voice: "Manqing, take Mu Chen home first."
Lin Manqing said anxiously: "Dad, it was Grandpa who asked him to come."
Lin Laiyi sneered, "Who are you lying to? The old man values the most rules. How could he let an outsider enter the ancestral hall to attend the family meeting? I think you are a slut and fascinated by this man, right? Such a person who has no father's teachings and no mother-raising is not qualified to marry into the Lin family. If you marry him, I see what face your father has to sit in the position of the head of the family."
Lin Manqing's face turned red.
A trace of cold light flashed in Li Muchen's eyes.
He ignored the people's gazes, whether ridiculed or pitying, took Lin Manqing's hand, walked through the crowd, came to Lin Qiusheng and Yan Huimin, and said, "Manqing, please sit down."
"What about you?" Lin Manqing seemed to feel what Li Muchen was going to do and looked at him with some concern.
"Me?" Li Muchen smiled, "Some people don't seem to welcome me."
He turned around and slowly walked to Lin Laiyi.
"Who did you just say that without fathers or mothers?"
"It's you..."
Your name has just been exported.
Bang!
Amid everyone's shocked expression, he slapped Lin Laiyi without warning.
The whole audience was in an uproar!
In the Lin family, Lin Laiyi is the eldest sister. Except for the old man, everyone is afraid of her.
Even the old man had never hit her.
Lin Laiyi stood there like a statue.
She couldn't understand where a son-in-law who had not come to the door got the courage to hit her.
Yuan Guocheng Teng stood up and waved his hand to hit Li Muchen, but when he saw Li Muchen's cold gaze, his hand shrank back.
"You...you..." Yuan Guocheng pointed at Li Muchen with trembling all over.
Lin Laifeng also stood up suddenly, looked at Li Muchen angrily, and said, "My surname is Li, how dare you touch my sister!"
Li Muchen looked at him coldly and said, "I promised you yesterday and let your son go. Today I just promised the old man not to bother with you father and son. But if you provoke me again, can you guess the old man save you?"
Lin Laifeng stared at Li Muchen hatefully, his eyes blew fire.
After enduring for so many years, if it weren't for this kid, his plan would have been almost successful.
But he finally sat down dejectedly because he knew that he had no chance to turn the tables, and today may be the last family meeting he attended.
Lin Qiusheng also stood up and said sternly: "Mu Chen, what are you going to do? This is a ancestral hall, so you are not allowed to do anything randomly!"
Li Muchen said: "It's nothing, this woman's mouth is too dirty. If your Lin family can't control it, I'll take care of it for you."
Lin Qiusheng couldn't help but feel a little angry.
It was not because Li Muchen beat Lin Laiyi, but Li Muchen's attitude.
This is not a son-in-law who has not arrived at the door, this is clearly the master!
