Yang Chen stared ahead, turning a deaf ear to Yang Meilan's words.

None of Su Mengqi, Yang Lin and the others showed any surprised expressions, and even Yang Wen's reaction was very flat.

Yang Meilan glanced at a few people, and said a little sourly: "It seems that you have already known in advance that it is the real person in power of the Yang family. Someone will reveal the news at any time."

Her words were undoubtedly trying to stir up Yang Tiande's anger, making him angry at Yang Chen, Yang Lin and the others, but Yang Tiande didn't respond after hearing it, as if he didn't hear it.

"What's wrong with each one of them? There must be a word for success, right? What's the matter with them all looking like boring gourds?"

Yang Chen ignored Yang Meilan, but looked at Yang Wen and asked: "Wenwen, this is a major event in your life, everyone will follow your personal wishes, please express your opinion!"

"I--"

Just as Yang Wen was about to speak, she was interrupted by Yang Meilan, "Wait, what did you say? Our girls from the Yang family have always obeyed their parents' orders and matchmakers' advice when they get married. How can there be any reason to make decisions on their own?"

"Brother, say something to me as a father, our Yang family's ancestor worship ceremony is coming soon, we can't break the rules passed down by them in front of our ancestors!"

Yang Meilan's words immediately made Yang Chen feel the weight, even the ancestors of the Yang family were brought out, if Yang Tiande disagreed, wouldn't that be considered unfilial?

Yang Tiande's face immediately showed a bit of distress, and he said lightly: "Although it is true, it is not the past after all. There are some unreasonable rules, and they should be changed."

"Brother, isn't that what you said?"

Yang Meilan's face immediately pulled down, "Do you still remember how I married into the Hou family back then?"

"This one……"

Yang Tiande hesitated to speak, with a somewhat complicated look on his face.

"It seems that you don't remember, so let me remind you!"

Yang Meilan snorted coldly, and said slowly: "Fifty years ago, the war just ended, because our Yang family suffered heavy losses in the war, and our strength was greatly reduced. There are more than 50 people in the family who can't even eat. Brother, you should remember these things, right?"

Yang Tiande sighed slightly, "Remember..."

"At that time, the Hou family, who was opportunistic during the war, not only preserved its strength, but even grew stronger. With the help of many years of contacts in the capital, after the war, it was like a fish in water, and its wealth increased day by day."

"Our father, in order to maintain the livelihood of the whole family, took the initiative to approach the Hou family and propose a marriage. He wanted me, the number one beauty in Linhai, to marry Hou Yaozong, a well-known young lady in the capital, as his wife."

"Little sister, I really wronged you at that time. Without you, many people in our Yang family might starve to death."

"Brother, I have been wronged much more than you know!"

Yang Meilan said with some resentment: "I exchanged my life's happiness for the Yang family's respite. If there was no support and help from the Hou family back then, how would there be the Yang family today? But look, these Yang family's Junior, how do you treat my aunt?!"

Everyone was silent, Yang Tiande has always felt guilty towards his younger sister, so even if she allowed Yang Jing and Yang Lin to compete for the title of patriarch, he kept turning a blind eye and didn't care too much about it. .

As for Yang Lin and Yang Wen, as juniors, they had no right to speak at all.

At this moment, Yang Wei's figure suddenly appeared at the door of the reception hall.

"Sorry, I'm late, there are a lot of things going on at Tianshui Manor."

Yang Wei apologized with a smile, then nodded to Hou Jianhua and Hou Xiaonan, "Uncle Hou, did you enjoy your trip?"

Hou Jianhua hummed, "It's just that the masked dance was a bit of a disappointment. I don't even remember when it ended."

Yang Wei also smiled and said: "I am also like this, maybe I am too happy to play, what is the so-called lingering!"

As he said that, Yang Wei scanned the living room, and found that Yang Chen and the others had no intention of giving up their seats to his second brother.So he simply sat next to Yang Wen by himself, which was almost close to the door.

Seeing Yang Wei's arrival, Yang Meilan no longer recalled the past, and said to Yang Wei: "Ah Wei, you came just in time, your eldest brother went to F continent, now you, the second brother, should stand up and say something fair!"

Yang Wei hesitated for a moment, "Auntie said that it was Brother Xiaonan from the Hou family who proposed marriage to Wenwen, right?"

Yang Chen suddenly smiled, and copied what Yang Meilan said just now.

"It seems that the second brother's news is quite well-informed. According to my aunt, you are also the person in power in the Yang family."

"Ah Chen, stop teasing me. I'm afraid I'm the last person in our family to get the news."

Yang Wei showed a wry smile, "Now even the servants at home are telling about this in private. As the second brother, I really failed."

Yang Chen glanced at Yang Tiande, and vaguely guessed in his heart that this news was leaked by Yang Tiande himself at the behest of the housekeeper.It's just that he still can't figure out why Yang Tiande did this.

"Ah Wei, you, the second brother, tell me, should Wenwen's marriage be decided by your father, or by herself?"

Yang Wei pondered for a while and said: "Our Yang family's rules in the past are that the daughter's family is determined by the parents on behalf of the marriage, but now the times are different, we should also respect Wenwen's own opinion."

Yang Meilan gave Yang Wei an angry look, "No wonder no one thinks highly of you, the second brother. You don't have any ideas of your own. Who will take you seriously if you always say such two-faced words?"

Yang Wei didn't mind either, and smiled and said, "Since my aunt asked me to speak, then I have to speak my mind. Now that times have changed, we can't always abide by the dead rules set by our ancestors. We must keep pace with the times." That's right."

"Ah Wei, it's better for you not to say such things in the future! The Yang family can stand for hundreds of years, relying on the iron laws set down by the ancestors, how can you change it if you say it?"

"Yes, I was the one who made a blunder."

Yang Tiande suddenly said something coldly, which surprised Yang Chen and the others.

Yang Wei actually supported Yang Wen, but Yang Tiande objected. The positions of the two seemed to be reversed.

Yang Chen was also puzzled, so he said tentatively: "Uncle, even if it's Wenwen's lifelong event, you should be the one to decide, it doesn't necessarily have to be the Hou family, right?"

Yang Tiande glanced at Yang Chen expressionlessly, but didn't speak, as if he was silently acquiescing him to continue talking.

How could Yang Chen fail to see Yang Tiande's thoughts, so he continued: "If it is said that the Hou family was kind to our Yang family back then, then I didn't drive them all out this time, but just expelled them from the capital, which is already a good deal." It’s their kindness back then.”

"So, you don't have to marry Wenwen into the Hou family with the mentality of repaying your gratitude."

"Yang Chen, what are you saying is wrong?" Hou Jianhua said coldly: "Don't think that our Hou family left the capital because we were afraid of you Yang Chen. Do you think that with your ability, you are really the opponent of our Hou family?"

Yang Chen smiled slightly, "We're talking about my sister's lifelong event, but if you have any doubts about my strength, then I can only give you four words—come to fight if you don't accept it!"

"Hmph, the courage of a reckless man is nothing!"

"Hou Jianhua, ever since your Hou family provoked me, I have always been merciful to your subordinates. You'd better not take my tolerance as weakness. Once I lose patience, your Hou family will be in trouble!"

Yang Chen said lightly: "At that time, although the Xia Kingdom is big, there will never be an inch of land that can accommodate you. The Hou family will be in disarray, and there will be no future for eternity!"
