The large hall was filled with people with different expressions.

There was no way around it, from Bai Yan Shi's faint cries, she had already understood that the main house of the Bai Family would be in a difficult situation today. She was a good-for-nothing, unable to protect the property that others had coveted in the Bai Family, and would become the sinner of the Bai Family.

Bai Ru Yue read through the memories of the original owner and knew that he was the Bai Family's oldest elder, Fifth Uncle.

The one who was called out to was Bai Ru Yue's father, the boss of Bai Family, and the current patriarch of Bai Family.

His face was sallow, his expression haggard, but after being questioned, he did not make a sound, and only silently looked at Bai Ru Yue. Although there was some disappointment in his eyes, he was more pampered.

"Changwu, I know you're in a difficult situation, but we need to come up with a plan!" Fifth Uncle knocked on the table:

"Ru Yue originally wanted to protect the Bai Family Herb Mountain's hope, but now that she's a Shi Mai, I can't rely on her. If we don't think of a way to deal with her, when the thirteen cities open the day after tomorrow, the Herb Mountain will no longer be surnamed Bai!"

"That's right!" The most pressing matter of all, the most important thing is for us to be able to preserve Herb Mountain! " Third brother Bai Chang Yu immediately followed up excitedly.

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. Bai Chang Wu pressed his hand on the armrest: "Third brother, what plans do you have?"

Ol 'Three immediately stood up and took a step forward, "Big Brother, don't be angry at me for saying these words. Your current illness is difficult to recover from, and your niece, Ru Yue, is a cripple with crippled veins. With such a hopeless situation, your Herb Mountain will definitely be taken away, why not … Give the position of Patriarch to Second Brother, stop those people's mouths. "

"Ai, you …" Second brother Bai Chang Feng was shocked.

"Bai Chang Yu!" Bai Yan Shi immediately slammed the table and bellowed: Are you still human? It's one thing for outsiders to come and snatch the position of Herb Mountain, but you're not thinking of ways to unite your forces to fight back right now, but you actually want to snatch the position of your big brother's Patriarch? "

"Sister-in-law!" That's not right! What do you mean by snatch the elder's seat? I'm letting second brother be the Patriarch, not me! Furthermore, if elder brother is well, or if he is as capable as Ruyue is, will I ask for such a thing? "

"You …"

"Stop fighting, I don't want to be the Clan Chief." Bai Chang Feng shrank his neck and waved, while his wife by his side widened her eyes and pinch him, he pouted but did not make a sound.

"Enough!" Fifth Uncle extended his hand to stroke his beard, "Changwu, I feel that Chang Yu's idea is not bad. You already have no way to protect Herb Mountain since you are injured, and in the past half year, the other twelve families have been keeping an eye on you. Now that Ru Yue isn't up to anything, you don't have the ability to protect Herb Mountain at all, how about …"

"Fifth Uncle, I cannot give up the position of Patriarch." Bai Chang Wu said in a deep voice: "If even I am unable to protect the assets of the Bai Family, Changfeng and Chang Yu would be useless as well.

"This …" Fifth Uncle was immediately at a loss for words.

"Big brother, those words make me feel uncomfortable!" Yes, Second Brother and I don't have much ability, and we're not stronger than you! But the problem is, can you still protect Bai Family Herb Mountain? Even if second brother and I are crippled, we would still be stronger than the current you and Ru Yue, right? "

Bai Chang Yu pointed to Bai Ru Yue as he spoke, "She is Shi Mai! This old one is crippled, this little one is also crippled. The thirteen cities will be opened soon, what are you going to use to protect Herb Mountain?! "

"We are trash, but Ruyue and young master Lu Family have an arranged marriage." Bai Chang Wu immediately opened his mouth wide, as though he was choking on something, he bitterly turned his head and sat down!

The overbearing aura in the hall was completely turned around by Bai Chang Wu's words, but Bai Ru Yue's heart was thumped: Damn it!

"Lu Family is currently ranked second in Thirteenth City. Although I'm a cripple right now, Herb Mountain is a treasure. As long as his marriage exists, it will be easier for him to obtain benefits than anyone else. He will naturally protect our Bai Family."

No one said anything after hearing his words. No matter how they looked at it, placing their hopes on someone else was a matter of life and death. However, this seemed to be their only choice.

"If that's the case..." Fifth Uncle stood up: "I hope you can protect Herb Mountain, but if in the future, Herb Mountain cannot …"

"Bai Chang Wu will be ashamed to face the ancestors, and be willing to resign as the Clan Chief, and split all of his assets among his family members, and take his wife and daughter out to wash up."

With these harsh words, Bai Chang Wu left one by one after they looked at each other.

"Big Brother, I have no intentions of becoming the Patriarch. You must hold on." Bai Chang Feng said to his big brother in a hurry. Under his wife's disappointed gaze, he left with his neck tucked in.

In the blink of an eye, only Bai Chang Wu, Bai Yan Shi and Bai Ru Yue were left in the hall.

"Yue Er, come here!" "Come to Father."

Bai Ru Yue walked over nervously, "Father … "I'm sorry..."

"No, it's not your fault!" Bai Chang Wu held her daughter's hand: "Bloodline Inherent skill is not something that we can handle. Actually, Father let you down, Father was useless, and couldn't properly protect you, allowing others to belittle you."

"Father..." Bai Ru Yue's heart ached.

She had never felt anything like kinship or parental love, but now that she had it, and it was in a family crisis, neither of her parents blamed her at all.

"Plop!" Bai Ru Yue knelt on the ground and said, "Father, Mother, I am sorry. My daughter's incompetence has caused our master to be wronged."

"I already said that I don't blame you, hurry up and get up..."

"But, I, I... I have already rescinded the engagement with Lu Zheng Hai. "

"What?" Bai Chang Wu and Bai Yan Shi were immediately dumbfounded.

"He loathed the idea that I was Shi Mai, so he publicly proposed to cancel the engagement with me. "I agree."

Bai Ru Yue did not bring up the matter of her falling to the ground today. She had no way of explaining to the two elders how she had beaten them.

Bai Yan Shi and Bai Chang Wu looked at each other for a moment, then reached out and hugged Bai Ru Yue: "My pitiful daughter! "How did you meet such a person!" Yue'er knows what kind of character Lu Lang is because of this. It's a good thing that the engagement was broken off! "

Hearing his parents comforting him, Bai Ru Yue raised his head uneasily and asked, "But what about now? What will happen to the thirteen cities the day after tomorrow?"

Bai Chang Wu bit his lower lip, "Father will definitely make a decision, so you don't have to worry about it! Go back and rest! "

Bai Ru Yue nodded and left. After leaving the great hall, she remembered the sickly look that Bai Chang Wu had and couldn't help but turn back, but in the end, she heard Bai Chang Wu's long sigh and his soft words:

"Go and clean up a bit more. Tomorrow night, bring Yue Er back to your family …"

"What?" "What do you mean …"

"If the Herb Mountain cannot protect me, then I am the sinner of the Bai Family. I will atone for my sins by dying to comfort my ancestors. Take Yue'er with you!"
