Chapter 173: Handing it over to Uncle
"Hand it over to Uncle?" The young girl was shocked.
The Family has its Legacy rules. The uncle Father mentioned is Father's cousin. Passing the position to a non-Direct Line Family member violates the Legacy rules.
This rule exists to ensure the orderly continuation of the Legacy and prevent internal strife among brothers.
Even with this rule, several of her older brothers are frantically fighting for the position of Head of the Family. If this rule didn't exist, and Father's various cousins joined in, wouldn't they just carve up the entire Ouyang Family?
Now that Father intends to let Uncle inherit the position of Head of the Family, her older brothers certainly won't agree. When that time comes…
Just then, the guard at the door said, "Head of the Family, Young Master Qin is here to see you."
"Quick, invite him in! Xiaoxiao, you go and welcome Qin Ming in!" the Ouyang Family Head said hurriedly.
"Yes!" The young girl received the order and immediately stood up to leave.
Qin Ming stood in the Ouyang Family's reception hall, quietly drinking tea.
A young girl in the prime of her youth ran over. Upon seeing him, she said with an excited expression, "Qin Ming, I see you again."
Qin Ming, who was drinking tea, heard the young girl's crisp voice, looked up, and smiled, "It's you."
Qin Ming still remembered that after he finished discussing matters with Old Master Ouyang last time, he had bumped into her.
"It seems you still remember me!" Ouyang Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
"Of course." Qin Ming nodded. It had only been a few days, and his memory wasn't bad, so how could he not remember?
Ouyang Xiaoxiao said, "Thank you. Father being able to recover this time is all thanks to your master. If it weren't for your master…"
Qin Ming waved his hand and said, "Our two families are allies; this is what we in the Qin Family should do. How is Old Master Ouyang now?"
"Look at my memory!" Ouyang Xiaoxiao tapped her head twice and said, "Father invited you in, and I was just busy talking to you…"
Saying this, Ouyang Xiaoxiao led the way and brought Qin Ming into the bedroom.
"Old Master Ouyang, Qin Ming pays his respects!" Qin Ming took a bottle of Medicinal Pill from his space ring and placed it on the table. "These are all Medicinal Pills to nourish Qi and blood. I hope you can recover quickly, Old Master."
"Qin Ming, you are too polite!" the Ouyang Family Head said with a grateful expression. "I am already endlessly grateful that you could come to see this old man; why bring gifts?
This time, it was also thanks to your master that we in the Ouyang Family haven't even thanked him yet, and now you have brought gifts. How can this be? Xiaoxiao, hurry and return them."
"That won't do, that won't do!" Qin Ming hurriedly waved his hand. "This is just a token of this Junior's sincerity. Members of the same Family don't talk like two separate families; you are being too much of a stranger!"
"Qin Ming!" the Ouyang Family Head called out.
"Hmm?" Qin Ming looked at the Ouyang Family Head.
"Thank you!" the Ouyang Family Head said with a sincere face. "The most correct thing I have done in my life is to form an alliance with your Qin Family, and the luckiest thing is to have met you.
I have lived for more than half a lifetime in vain, achieving nothing!"
"Old Master Ouyang, please don't say that. It is our Qin Family's blessing to be able to form an alliance with your Ouyang Family!" Qin Ming said modestly.
"Xiaoxiao, help Father sit up." The Ouyang Family Head looked at his daughter and said.
"Father, you…" Ouyang Xiaoxiao said with heartache.
"Help me up, Father is fine!" the Ouyang Family Head said.
Seeing her father insist, Ouyang Xiaoxiao helplessly helped the Ouyang Family Head sit up.
Qin Ming hurriedly walked over to help. With the assistance of Ouyang Xiaoxiao and Qin Ming, the Ouyang Family Head finally managed to sit up.
