Chapter 250 Six Introducing Wolves into the House

As soon as Chen Xiaowan returned to the family, she received a voice transmission from her father, telling her to hurry to the family hall.She didn't know what happened, so she came to the square in a flash, and immediately walked to the front of the hall.When she came to the main hall, Chen Xiaowan found that all the elders of the Chen family had arrived. The moment she entered, many elders gave a sigh of relief, obviously waiting for her to come.

Chen Xiaowan glanced at everyone, then looked at her father, clasped her fists and said, "Father, my daughter has come as scheduled, what's the matter?"

Chen Kaiyun nodded, motioning for her to stand aside first, and then said to Chen Kaide: "Third brother, Xiao Wan is here, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

Chen Kaide smiled slightly, then stood up immediately, walked to the middle of the hall, coughed lightly, and said loudly: "Everyone, I think many people know the purpose of this family council, so I won't talk nonsense here. Years did not make the family stronger, and almost brought the Chen family into a state of doom, so in the name of the Great Elder, I propose that Chen Kaiyun give up the position of patriarch."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the elders were different. Some looked forward to it, some were surprised, and many of them seemed to be watching the show.

Chen Kaiyun looked indifferent, as if he knew that such a thing would happen, he said without saying anything, "I accept the third brother's proposal. From today onwards, I am no longer the patriarch of the Chen family."

Hearing her father say this, Chen Xiaowan was stunned for a moment, and said, "Father, why did you step aside?"

"There is no reason, I am not suitable for this position, so I have to give up." Chen Kaiyun glanced at his daughter, his eyes were full of helplessness, and then looked at Chen Kaide, and said, "Third brother, what you have done for the family over the years, It is obvious to all, so I suggest that you take over the position of patriarch."

Chen Kaide wished to be the patriarch now, but he waved his hands hypocritically and said: "How can this be done! How can I be the patriarch?"

Those elders who had already discussed how to act in private stood up one by one and expressed their thoughts.

Chen Kaiming was the first to stand up and said, "Fourth brother, you are the most suitable patriarch in the family. There is no one else who can take on this position except you."

"Yes! Fourth brother, you can be the patriarch!"

"This is the voice of everyone. If you don't become the patriarch, the Chen family will never be strong."

"..."

Such words sounded one after another, and Chen Xiaowan could tell that these things had been discussed long ago.

Chen Xiaowan was a little depressed, she didn't expect her father to be so cowardly, so he would give up the position of patriarch.Since she had already decided to give up, why she was asked to come, she really couldn't figure out what was the point of coming by herself?Thinking of this, Chen Xiaowan looked at her father again, and couldn't help asking: "Father, the Chen family has elected a new patriarch who has nothing to do with the daughter. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Chen Kaiyun didn't answer. He moved his mouth a few times, as if he wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it.

At this time, Chen Kaide walked up to Chen Xiaowan and said, "Niece, you can't leave. I've called you here this time, of course I have something important to discuss with you."

"Discuss with me?" Chen Xiaowan didn't like the third uncle in front of her at all, she snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Third uncle, I'm not the elder of the family, do you need to discuss with me?"

Chen Kaide was not angry either, he smiled slightly and said: "You are indeed not the elder of the family, but this matter must be discussed with you."

Chen Xiaowan really wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, and said, "Okay! I wonder if third uncle has something to discuss with niece?"

Chen Kaide didn't answer immediately, but shouted outside the hall: "Pengfei, come in!"

Outside the main hall, a young man came in. This man was Chen Kaide's nephew, Wang Pengfei, the eldest son of his wife's natal family.

Wang Pengfei was still wearing the yellow robe, but he was very energetic. When he entered the hall and saw Chen Xiaowan, he was very excited.Immediately, Wang Pengfei walked up to Chen Kaide, cupped his fists and said, "Uncle." After speaking, he looked at the other people in the hall, bowed politely, and said respectfully, "Pengfei has met all the elders. "

No matter how stupid Chen Xiaowan was, she could guess what was going on. She felt that this was a trick, a trap set for her.

Sure enough, after Wang Pengfei finished speaking, Chen Kaide coughed lightly and said loudly: "Everyone, Pengfei and Xiaowan grew up together and are childhood sweethearts. I believe everyone knows that. Today I propose that the two get married, and then choose Huang Dao On an auspicious day, I don't know what you guys think about getting them married?" He said, looking at Chen Kaiyun in the center of the hall.

Chen Kaiyun nodded, and said: "I have no objection, it is her blessing that Xiaowan is able to marry Pengfei."

Hearing this, Chen Xiaowan was stunned. She didn't know her father, and said in shock, "Father, you want me to marry him?"

"Why, don't you agree?" Chen Kaiyun asked.

Chen Xiaowan smiled, sneered, and said, "Father, have you ever thought about your daughter's feelings? You said back then that I would choose my future husband myself, but I didn't expect you to be a liar."

"Hmph! Father is doing it for your own good. Do you think you can decide about marriage and matchmaker's words?" Chen Kaiyun glared at Chen Xiaowan, and said in an irrefutable tone, "I discussed this matter with your mother. It's settled, today you have to marry if you marry, or you have to marry if you don't..."

Chen Xiaowan's eyes were full of tears, she was so disappointed in her father, she covered her mouth and was about to run out of the hall.

However, just as she ran to the door, two guards suddenly appeared and blocked her way.

"Three###, please go back to the hall. If you take another step, we will not be polite." One of the guards said coldly, without any respect in his words.

Chen Kaide waved his hand to the guards, signaling them to step aside, and immediately came to Chen Xiaowan, saying: "Xiaowan! Today is your big day, how can you do this! It's not that the third uncle said you, you are not young Yes, Pengfei is a good person, and he has broken through to the foundation building stage again, you will be happy marrying him."

Although Chen Kaide didn't make a move, his divine sense was firmly locked in front of Chen Xiaowan. As long as Chen Xiaowan walked out of the hall, he would subdue her without hesitation.

Knowing that she couldn't leave, Chen Xiaowan sneered and asked, "Happiness? May I ask third uncle, do you know what happiness is?"

"Love each other and live together warmly, that is happiness." Chen Kaide replied.

Chen Xiaowan laughed softly, and couldn't help asking: "You also know the definition of happiness, but do you think there is love between me and Wang Pengfei? Can a marriage without love be happy?"

"Love is cultivated slowly. After a long time, you will naturally be happy." Chen Kaide said this, turned to look at the rest of the elders, and asked in a deep voice, "Everyone, when do you think it is good to get married?"

"Three days later!" Chen Kaiming said, "The sooner the marriage, the better, so that our Chen family will have more young men sooner."

"I also suggest three days later."

"Yes, three days is a good day, just three days later!"

"..."

The elders seemed to have discussed it beforehand, and they all said in unison that it would be three days later.

Chen Kaide also nodded, and said pretendingly: "Since everyone said that after three days, I, the newly appointed patriarch, will not give you face, let's say three days later!" He paused for a while, and then said: " Now that the time has been set, this meeting is over, let's go back and prepare!"

Wang Pengfei walked up to Chen Xiaowan and said, "Xiaowan, I..."

"Don't call me Xiaowan." Chen Xiaowan's heart was bleeding, she didn't expect that her father who was so loving back then would push her into the fire pit.

Chen Kaide frowned, suddenly became unhappy, changed his attitude just now, and said coldly: "Chen Xiaowan, you'd better be obedient, otherwise, you don't even want to stay in the Chen family."

"The Chen family?" Chen Xiaowan looked at Chen Kaide coldly, and said word by word, "I don't want to stay in such a family for a long time, you have the guts to let me leave here."

Chen Xiaowan's expression changed, he suddenly raised his right hand, and was about to slap Chen Xiaowan.

At this moment, Chen Kaiyun stepped in front of the two of them and stopped him, "Third brother, have you forgotten what you said?"

"Third brother?" Chen Kaide glanced at Chen Kaiyun, and said sarcastically, "Brother, you called me wrong! I am the patriarch of the Chen family now, what do you call me?"

Chen Kaiyun's face was a little unhappy, but he didn't get angry. He cupped his fists and said, "Patriarch, please don't embarrass Xiaowan. I will persuade him to marry Pengfei in three days."

Chen Kaide laughed loudly, then put away his raised right hand, and said: "Your words are enough, I don't want any accidents to happen, otherwise you will know the result." As he said, he quickly walked to the outside of the hall. He walked, but just as he reached the gate of the palace, he retreated and asked in surprise, "You guys, why are you here?"

Outside the hall, a middle-aged man's voice came, "Patriarch Chen, you should fulfill your original promise if you take the position of patriarch."

"Promise, what promise?" Chen Kaide was stunned, puzzled, "At the beginning you just said to find Chen Xiaowan, you didn't make any promises!"

"That's right, we didn't mention it at the beginning, but now we have to add one." The middle-aged man sneered, and walked into the hall with a stride, followed by more than ten people behind him.

The person in the lead is no stranger to Chen Xiaowan, he is Sun Qinghong from Tianfengmen, and the person behind him is his grandson Sun Hao.Sun Qinghong was wearing a blue robe. Compared with three days ago, his cultivation had improved a lot, and he had reached the stage of the early stage of alchemy.Sun Hao and the others behind him were all dressed in red, so it could be seen that they were all foundation-building monks.

Sun Qinghong glanced at the people in the hall, then looked at Chen Xiaowan, and asked, "Where is Lu Yang?"

Chen Xiaowan suddenly realized that she already knew what was going on, presumably Chen Kaide and Sun Qinghong reached an agreement to help him get the position of the Chen family.Sun Qinghong also used Chen Kaide to lure him out, and his father was also under great pressure, so he had to betray her and let her come here.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiaowan sneered, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Senior, when I separated from Lu Yang, he left alone. How could I know where I am now?"

"Chen Xiaowan, stop pretending to me, Lu Yang will definitely be with you." Sun Hao glared at Chen Xiaowan, gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't hand over Lu Yang today, I don't need to say the consequences! Not only will you die, but your father will also die." If you want to die, even everyone in the Chen family will die here..."
