Chapter 540

I smiled lightly and said: "You are wrong, it's not that I can't refute it, but I stand on my own side and don't want to fight with you."

"Then tell me your reason." Li Qinghao asked gloomily.

I looked around and saw that Li Jiazhong's relatives present collectively supported Li Qinghao, but no one supported me, and they all looked uneasy, lest Qinglong would come to the door.

I slowly lowered my head and shook it with a wry smile, "Could it be that the Li family are all greedy for life and afraid of death?"

"Prince, what do you mean by that?"

"Whoever said that our Li family is greedy for life and afraid of death, we are preparing for stability and defeat in three years' time."

"The prince's words are a little too much, right?"

The audience seemed to be quite dissatisfied by me.

I slowly lit a cigarette, held it between my fingers, and pointed at them slightly, "Get ready? Are you all brainwashed? Or are you making excuses for fear? Who can resist the Li family except Wuming?" Got the four envoys of the Azure Dragon?"

"Once Wuming loses, the Li family will perish. Those who should come will still come. The so-called development is just nonsense! In the eyes of people like Qinglong, the so-called family aristocratic family is just a joke!"

"And starting to show weakness now will only make people think that the Li family is not confident enough. It is better to be strong, making people jealous of the Li family and making people unable to guess the confidence of the Li family."

"In this way, Qinglong might be afraid, the Fang family might be afraid, and even the Heavenly List forces might be afraid too!"

As soon as I blurted out, all the loyal relatives of the Li family were at a loss for words, their throats seemed to be sealed by shackles, unable to speak, and their expressions became stiff.

Especially Li Qinghao, a strong displeasure appeared on his face, his jagged yellow teeth clenched and merged at some point, his fists clenched tightly, and the gloom grew thicker.

Silence, death-like silence, the figure that originally supported Li Qinghao, but his heart seemed to gradually loosen because of my words.

Seeing this, Li Qinghao immediately provoked a contradiction, and said bitterly, "Prince Li, I admit that your words are not unreasonable, but there are also risks. If you drag the entire Li family into the water for your own benefit, is this appropriate?"

"It's not suitable, but it's also suitable, and I'm not doing it for myself, so you don't need to provoke conflicts like this. Everyone knows very well in their hearts that what should come will come sooner or later. The Li family doesn't have to show weakness to anyone. Since it is the first family, we must show the demeanor of the first family!" I countered.

"Well, everyone knows that what you and I said are reasonable, just like you are a radical and I am a conservative. If this is the case, how about making a vote now? Anyway, all loyal relatives are here , the vote is the fairest." Li Qinghao's face turned dark immediately, and his eyes looked like he wanted to tear me into pieces.

I raised my eyebrows, secretly voting? Li Qinghao has been in power in the Li family for many years, who would dare to disobey him? Who dare not support him?

As a prince who has just taken office, few people obey me. Isn't this suppressing me because of my prestige?

Besides, although what Li Qinghao and I complained is completely opposite, it is also justified. He relied on his status in the Li family for many years to vote, and the key point is that he said it so fairly. .

For a while, more and more people raised their hands in favor of voting.

"Yes, everyone here is the core of the Li family, and the voting selection is the most fair."

"That's right, this is the only way to appear fair and just. No matter how biased the old man is, he can't continue to help the prince instead, right?"

"Both sides insist on their own opinions. Vote, old man."

When everyone's eyes were on the old man, he gave me a complicated look, his tone was full of helplessness as the head of the family, and he sighed: "In that case, let's vote, whoever has the most votes, just listen to me." who."

Li Qinghao suddenly smiled slyly, and shouted, "I, Li Qinghao, temporarily ruled the Li family for many years when the old man was recuperating, and now...those who support me, please come to my side."

As soon as the words were blurted out, a group of people in unison immediately moved and walked behind Li Qinghao.

"I support Lord Qinghao."

"Lord Qinghao, this is a conservative strategy, and there is no great danger."

...

Soon, only one-third of the people in the ancestral hall did not move, and seemed to be struggling.

But under Li Qinghao's gaze, some of the one-third of the people began to move again.

The remaining eight or nine elderly middle-aged people bit their bullets and stood silently behind me, supporting me in a low voice, without any confidence in speaking.

"Prince, we support you."

"Although...they have a lot of people."

As soon as the voting results came out, the situation was one-sided, and it was simply horrible.

I feel that I, the prince, just set up an identity, not worthy of the name, mostly just lip service and dissatisfaction.

At this time, my mother came to my side and said in my ear: "Shaobai, don't blame the old man. Although he is the one who really makes the decision, as the head of the family, he has to care about the feelings of the people below. I don't want to provoke Qing Hao to make him leave the Li family, so I have no choice but to do it, you..."

"Needless to say, I know all of this. Everyone has their own difficulties." I raised my hand and interrupted my mother's words.

My mother bit her lip lightly, and tried to persuade Li Qinghao, "Qinghao, can you show me some face? After all, this is Shaobai..."

However, before my mother could speak, she was interrupted by Li Qinghao. He sneered and said, "Face? I'll give you face, so who will give me face? Mumei, let's not discuss this matter."

My mother still wanted to talk, so I blocked her and shook my head secretly at her, "Stop talking, it's useless, don't ask him."

When my mother heard it, she couldn't help but bow her head and sigh.

Seeing this, Li Qinghao sneered, and the corners of his mouth became more and more curved. He first cupped his hands at the old man, and then said: "My old man, since the voting results have come out, please do a notarization and make a decision."

The old man was helpless, his expression was unprecedentedly complicated, and he gave me a very tangled look, "Shaobai, this matter... just follow Qinghao's instructions."

"Thank you, old man, for your success." Li Qinghao showed joy and bowed involuntarily.

But immediately after, the old man became serious again, and said with a straight face: "However, this is just a delaying strategy. If Wuming does not lose after three years, and if there is still a chance for this marriage, it must be done."

"No problem, no problem, three years later... maybe it will develop into something, maybe Fang Dao will come out..." Li Qinghao laughed.

I clenched my fist secretly, feeling very helpless. Firstly, I had the old man's instructions before me, so I couldn't force Li Qinghao too hard. Second, I didn't have enough prestige in the Li family, so few people supported me.

Originally, I decided to marry Chu Yuyan quickly before Fang Dao came out, but now that it has turned out like this, I am afraid that the wedding date will have to be postponed again.

Most importantly, I feel that I was completely bullied by Li Qinghao this time.

And what I am most worried about at the moment is nothing more than that Fang Dao will play tricks to make Chu Wenyang bow his head and subdue him when he is released from prison.
