A lot of people have gathered in the courtyard, most of them are relatives of the Nalan family, and the others are some affiliated forces.
They said they came to express condolences, but there was no sign of pain on their faces. Some of them even had smiles on their faces and were discussing business with a few familiar people.
When a wall falls, many people push it; when a drum is broken, thousands of people beat it. This is an eternal law.
When their father was still alive, they would never have dared to make such a fuss and make trouble in such a big way.
But now that people are in Chaliang, how can they take Nalan Hsinchu seriously?
"Good morning, uncles."
Nalan Xinzhu walked out, and at this moment she looked like a strong woman again.
The courtyard suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes turned to her face.
"My virtuous niece, there is no resurrection after death, so you must show mercy and accept change."
"Firstly, we are here to express our condolences, and secondly, we are here to discuss the future path of the Nalan family."
"A country cannot be without a king for a day, and a family cannot be without a master for a day. There are still many things in our Nalan family that need one person to deal with."
…
It was obvious that they were impatient, and as soon as they arrived, they straight to the point stated their intention.
In fact, it’s no wonder.
In their opinion, the mansion of the Nalan family is about to collapse. Everyone wants to take this opportunity to gain some benefits. If they arrive late, they may not even be able to drink the soup.
"I don't need to worry about this matter, uncles and uncles. When my father was alive, he had already left the family affairs to my brother to take care of."
Nalan Xinzhu said calmly.
"Nalan Hsinchu, what are you talking about? Aren't we part of the family? Shouldn't we care if something happens to the family?"
"Don't forget, our surname is Nalan, and we have accumulated the family's fortune bit by bit. When we were going through life and death outside, you, a yellow-haired girl, was not even born yet."
"It's not that I'm relying on my old age. What time is it now? Do you still want to dominate the family business by yourself? It's okay if you leave the family to a knowledgeable person, but your brother, who is he? What ability does he have to take charge of family affairs?
?”
…
Everyone spoke, and Nalan Hsinchu suddenly became the target of public criticism.
"Nonsense."
Nalan Xinzhu was angry. Now she only had her brother as a relative. How could she allow others to slander him?
"In short, it is my father's last wish to leave the family to my brother. If you don't listen, then stop saying that you are from the Nalan family."
In fact, it doesn't matter who manages the family. What's important is that everyone must be united.
Otherwise, once the power is dispersed and the family property is divided, the Nalan family will be completely finished.
Not only is it impossible to securely occupy the position of a wealthy family, it may not even be considered a first-class family.
When the time comes, those enemies hiding in the dark will never let go of this opportunity and will definitely eat away at the Nalan family.
By then, there will be no chance for a comeback.
However, these people don't know Nalan Hsinchu's good intentions. They only care about their immediate interests. Who will care about the future?
"Nalan Hsinchu, don't be shameless. What qualifications do you have to expel us from the family?"
"Don't say it's you. Even if your father is still alive, he is not qualified to say it to us."
"Don't forget that your father's position as head of the family was also elected by us. We can push him to the position of head of the family, and we can also pull him down."
"Do you think we are doing it for our own interests? Can't you see that there are people outside who are targeting the Nalan family? We want to preserve some vitality."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense to this little girl, call in the housekeeper and the family accountant immediately, calculate the assets, and then divide them up on the spot."
"Yes, divide the money immediately, and then everyone will break up."
…
Seeing the ugly faces of everyone, Nalan Xinzhu was stunned.
Everyone was originally a family, and Nalan Hsinchu thought they would take care of their face to some extent, but he didn't expect them to be so shameless. They didn't even bother to talk about the situation, and just wanted to divide the family property.
"No, as long as I am here, you will not be allowed to touch the Nalan family's assets."
Nalan Xinzhu said categorically: "I said this for my brother."
After hearing this, everyone laughed.
Not to mention that Nalanbo is now crazy, what would he have done before he was not crazy?
After all, he is more than just a playboy.
No one cared about him at all.
In the past, when Nalan Yuan was still alive, everyone would still look up to him.
Now that everyone is dead, the remaining brother and sister are nothing in the eyes of everyone.
"Niece, don't hold on."
A man with some gray hair walked out of the crowd and said: "Those who know things well are heroes, don't you see? If these people cannot achieve their goals, they will never leave."
Seeing him, Nalan Xinzhu breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, not everyone has lost their mind.
The person speaking was none other than Nalan Yuan's cousin, Nalan Fei.
"Uncle, what do you think?"
Nalan Xinzhu pulled him aside and whispered: "You have the highest prestige here, please be fair."
"Well..."
Nalan Fei stroked his beard and said: "You are unwilling to give up power, just because you don't want power to be dispersed. I understand this. Everyone wants to divide the property, not necessarily for their own selfish interests, but maybe to preserve the fire.
There is nothing wrong with that. I have a plan that has the best of both worlds, which can dispel both of your worries."
"What kind of solution is it to get the best of both worlds? Tell me quickly."
Nalan Xinzhu's eyes lit up, as if he saw a glimmer of hope.
"Actually, it's very simple. It's just to choose a highly respected person to take over as the head of the family. In this way, power will not be dispersed, and other people will no longer have to worry about being leaderless, and naturally they will not have selfish motives."
Nalan Fei smiled and said, "Didn't my niece say that I have the highest prestige just now? Then I have no choice but to be respectful rather than obey."
boom!
Nalan Hsinchu was stunned instantly.
She originally thought that Nalan Fei was here to uphold justice, but she didn't expect that he was here to compete for the position of the head of the family.
"No, absolutely not!"
Nalan Hsinchu flatly refused.
"What's wrong? Can you still find someone with higher prestige than me? I've already discussed it with your other uncles and uncles, and the matter has been decided."
Nalan Fei waved his hand and sat directly on a chair nearby, looking aloof.
