150: C150 Family Emergency Meeting

C150 Family Emergency Meeting

Ye Tian stared at him and thought to himself, "This brat is so lucky."

At the same time, a trace of sadness could be seen on Nangong Feiyan's frosty face.

Gently standing up, Nangong Feiyan walked out of the hall with delicate steps.

Ye Tian looked at Nangong Feiyan's back. Honestly speaking, the exquisite face that could be considered a work of art still made Ye Tian's heart beat faster.

Gritting his teeth, Ye Tian muttered: "She couldn't really have been taken in by that Murong Qi, right?"

Yeh Rong moved closer to Ye Tian's ear with ill intentions, "In my opinion, if you don't care, she might really be taken in by Murong Qi."

Turning around, he glared at Yeh Rong. Ye Tian took a deep breath and said: "I manage Imperial Household Department, so Ministry of Penalty should handle this kind of thing."

"Do you think that if Murong Qi successfully advances, once he becomes a Primary Magic Mentor, will Ministry of Penalty still be able to control him?" Yeh Rong asked.

Ye Tian continued to stare at him, "That is also not something I should care about."

Yeh Rong shrugged, "Alright then, let Murong Qi take her."

Ye Tian insisted, "Fine, fine. Anyway, it's not my business."

At night, the Nangong Aristocratic Family held an emergency meeting of the family. The focus of the discussion, was still on the conflict between Nangong Aristocratic Family and the two great families.

Nangong Feiyan sat on a large chair in the middle of the room with a calm expression on her face. Beside her, the heads of the several large businesses, including Nangong Aristocratic Family, sat on seats on each side of her.

At this moment, a middle-aged man sitting on the left side as well as the largest dye-making shop in the capital, Nangong Lengmo, the owner of the Rainbow Pavilion said first, "On the seventh day of last month, Murong Aristocratic Family explained to us that there are seventy-six textile shops on the two streets of Dongwu and Xiwen and gave us a discount of less than twenty percent to these seventy-six textile shops. As a result, their cooperation with the Rainbow Pavilion ended and they began working together with Lan Yi Zhai, a branch of Murong Aristocratic Family."

After pausing for a moment, Nangong Lengmo took a sip of tea and extended three fingers as he continued, "By the seventh day of this month, the profit of my CaiYi Pavilion has dropped by thirty percent." When he said till here, Nan Gong Lengmo sighed, and said somewhat helplessly: "I have already used the moves that I should use, I have also used the tricks that I should use, I have pulled the face that I should use, and I have also used the hands that I should use, but the result is, of my thirty people, now that they are lying on the bed, the medicine shop and the medicine store's people have all seen it, they already said they can't get out of bed in a month, and the main problem now is, not only do we have no path to get Murong Aristocratic Family, but also have hurt our own money, we are free and at ease."

Once Nangong Lengmo said those words, the entire hall immediately turned silent. Everyone knew that his Nangong Aristocratic Family had been severely suppressed by the Murong Aristocratic Family recently. In the past two months, the revenues and profits of the various businesses under Nangong Aristocratic Family have decreased to different degrees. If things continued along these lines, it would be no exaggeration to say that Nangong Aristocratic Family would not need to continue to exist in the capital in less than a year.

After a moment of silence, the two sides began to discuss in whispers. All sorts of biased opinions were expressed.

Now, the key problem was that Murong Aristocratic Family had already sent a formal letter to Nangong Aristocratic Family requesting marriage. Now that the two families had gotten into a fight with each other, it could be imagined that in the coming years or even decades, if the two families could continue to exist, they would continue to compete fiercely. And Murong Aristocratic Family had a deep background within the imperial government, so they naturally held the absolute advantage in the competition.

But if Nangong Feiyan marries Murong Qi, the two big families will be linked, and their businesses will be reorganized and merged to form a bigger united family. This will be a win-win situation, both from the point of view of power expansion and from the point of view of industry profitability. Moreover, once this united family was formed, it was very likely that it would surpass the strength of the Ouyang Aristocratic Family and become the capital's number one clan in one fell swoop.

Because of this, two factions with completely opposite opinions had already formed among the heads of the various large industries in the Nangong Aristocratic Family. The faction was in favour of accepting Murong Aristocratic Family's marriage request, and had an alliance with Murong Aristocratic Family to fight against the current aggressive development of the Ouyang Family. As for the other faction, they scoffed at Murong Qi's character and personality, and resolutely respected Nangong Feiyan's personal wishes. If Nangong Feiyan was willing to marry, then so be it.

At this time, an old man beside Nangong Leng Mo, who also owned a shop that specializes in high-grade clothing in the capital, Nangong Xi, the manager of Cloud Jade Temple, glanced at Nangong Feiyan and said in a low and hoarse voice, "Feiyan, I watched over you as you grew up. In my heart, I definitely do not want you to suffer a loss. But right now, Nangong Aristocratic Family is a matter of life and death. Feiyan, as the patriarch of the Nangong Aristocratic Family, you should put aside your personal likes and dislikes at this time and focus on the overall situation. For the sake of the clan's future and development, you should give yourself up. "

Hearing Nangong Xi's words, Nangong Feiyan stared straight ahead, saying indifferently, "So, Uncle Xi means that you agree to marry me off to Murong Qi?"

Nangong Xi did not expect Nangong Feiyan to reveal his idea so quickly. His old face reddened as he said slowly, "Feiyan, if our old bones can help our family get out of this predicament and regain glory in the capital, that would be killing us. We will not say a single word no. If we were to go to the higher ups of the imperial court, we would probably need to suffer some cold words. Now that our Murong Aristocratic Family has come looking for us, in the eyes of us old bones, it would be quite good if you could marry a man like Murong Qi. "

Nangong Feiyan was expressionless as she said softly, "Do you understand Murong Qi's character?"

Nangong Xi frowned. He thought to himself, "Murong Qi is a handsome man. If he had a decent character and a virtuous personality, you would have already married. Why are you hesitating so much?" It's precisely because of that fellow's evil deeds that you need to put aside your personal prejudices and put your family in the light, sacrificing your own will.

However, very quickly, an old man seated on the other side of the table, whose name was Nangong Wu, glared at Nangong Xi and said, "Nangong Xi, about the marriage, since Murong Aristocratic Family has already come asking for help, the main thing is Fei Yan's wish. If Feiyan likes Murong Qi, of course she can consider it. If Flying Swallow doesn't like him, then my old bones can't bear to see him suffer even a little bit. Marriage is a big matter, it's about both you and me being willing to marry each other. It's about the relationship between the two of us. Just look at Murong Qi, that dog of a bitch, doing that stupid thing, everyone in the capital knows about it. I'm just afraid that after Feiyan marries into his Murong Aristocratic Family, Murong Qi will be fresh for a few days, and soon, he will have his eyes set on someone's girl. At that time, it would be good for him to ignore Feiyan, and he might even strip her of her identity as his official wife and turn her into his concubine.

After a short pause, Nangong Wu continued to glare at him and said, "I'll put my words here today. No one can force Feiyan. If anyone forces Feiyan, they can force me. I'm not done with him."

Nangong Wu was the one with more authority in the family, even Nangong Xi had to give him face. As soon as Nangong Wu finished talking, no one from the alliance dared to speak up. Everyone fell into silence once more.

Nangong Xi raised his eyelids, looked left and right, then cleared his throat and said: "Since that's the case, whether it's a marriage alliance or a death match, things must have a conclusion. In my opinion, the most fair way is to vote by the family."

Hearing Nangong Xi's words, Nangong Wu snorted, but did not object.

The family vote was something that all the big families in the capital did when they were facing their own important decisions without any unified opinions.0

As long as the family had a position above the head of the industry, each person would write their opinion on the ticket and put it into the ballot box.

Afterwards, after a total of statistics, the one opinion that had the largest number of votes was the final decision of the family.

The best thing about this method was that it would be fair and equitable. It would lead to endless debate in the family meeting about all kinds of opinions and suggestions. In the end, the number of people and votes would be used to determine which opinions and measures should be taken.

At this time, after a brief moment of consideration, the organizers of the two rows nodded their heads, indicating that they could vote by their families and decide whether or not to marry Murong Aristocratic Family.

Nangong Feiyan continued to stare straight ahead, her face expressionless as she said lightly, "Since the uncles have already decided to vote for the family, then let's vote."

With that, Nangong Feiyan stood up and slowly walked to the back of the hall.

After Nangong Feiyan left, everyone else also stood up and left the main hall. Only Nangong Wu remained seated on her chair, looking at Nangong Yan with concern as she walked towards the back.

Nangong Wu had watched over Nangong Feiyan since she was young. She had always loved and cared for her, and at this moment, Nangong Wu could clearly see the sadness in Nangong Feiyan's calm eyes.

Nangong Wu's brows tightened as a dejected expression appeared on her elderly face. In all honesty, Nangong Xi's proposal for the family vote was not unreasonable. On the contrary, the family vote reflected fairness and fairness. However, Nangong Wu was also very clear that the result of the clan voting was very likely to be more votes in favor of the marriage alliance.

Raising her head, Nangong Wu looked up at the ceiling and muttered, "Is there really no other way? Is she really going to sacrifice the happiness of her entire life? "
