537: C537 The Bai Mei Ji Clan

C537 The Bai Mei Ji Clan

Ji County, Jingji.

This was a county that belonged to the capital.

It was only about a hundred li away from the capital.

Ji County was a first-class county.

Its population was around a hundred thousand.

Most of them had the surname Ji.

They had the same ancestor and belonged to the same clan.

As a result, Ji County got its name.

The biggest family in Ji County was naturally the Jee family.

However, the Jee family was not a noble family.

It belonged to the local tyrants!

To use a noun to describe it, the Jee family was not a famous family, but a prestigious family.

The history of the Jee family was even longer than the Charm Country.

Before the Dongzi were given the title, the Jee family had already become one of the most powerful families in the world.

Logically speaking, this family had a longer history than Baimei.

They should have become a famous family a long time ago.

However, the Jee family had never evolved to the level of a famous family, and had always remained a noble family. Forcibly ranked!

This was not because the descendants of the Jee family were incapable of doing so.

It was because their way of handling things was smarter!

Those who were famous had always been a thorn in the side of the ruler, a thorn in his flesh!

Even though the ruler had also suspected Hao Qiang, he was far from reaching the level of a noble family.

The successive patriarchs of the Jee family had always been in control of the development of the family.

They had always placed the Jee family on the line between a noble family and a powerful family.

They did not participate in the politics of the dynasty, nor would they support officials to endorse them.

On the contrary, if Bai Mei had any difficulties...

They would always be the first to stand out and support her.

If the Imperial Court was short of money, they would donate money!

If the Imperial Court was short of people, they would hand them over to their family servants!

This way, the Bai Mei Imperial Court would naturally not suppress a powerhouse who was wholeheartedly loyal to the Imperial Court!

Furthermore, the Jee family had a good reputation in Ji County.

Hence, in the thousand years that Bai Mei had established the country, all the famous families and families had risen and fell, but the Jee family had never fallen!

However, today, everyone in the Jee family had a serious expression on their faces.

The atmosphere in the family was also rather depressing.

The Imperial Court was going to recruit a son-in-law!

This was not good news for Jee family.

The Jee family had been able to reproduce until now.

Furthermore, the population of the family was increasing.

They relied on... to recruit male orphans in the various countries of Exile Continent!

Then, from these male orphans.

He would choose a person with an outstanding appearance, talent, and temperament to be the son-in-law of the Jee family.

These son-in-law were adopted in the Jee family since young.

They wanted to complete the family succession for the Jee family.

And have to get involved in the family business.

It could be said that these people were all high-level talents!

The world called them child-raising son-in-law!

To many men, being able to become the children's son-in-law of Jee family was a supreme honor!

But now, the Imperial Court decreed that they wanted to recruit a son-in-law!

The sons and daughters of the Jee family were naturally included in this list.

This was practically severing the roots of the Jee family!

A group of high-level talents from various industries had allowed them to enter the army.

This was simply a waste of heaven's gifts!

In the lobby of the Jee family.

The family head, the elders, and the young ladies were all gathered in the lobby.

Of course, there were also those children and grandsons!

"Tell me, what plans do you have for the Imperial Court's decree?"

The patriarch of the Jee family, Ji You, swept his gaze across the crowd and asked.

If they were to send their children and sons to the army...

It would be a disaster for the Jee family.

They couldn't bear such a huge price!

"Mother, this order from the Imperial Court is ridiculous!"

"No matter how intense the wars of the previous emperors were, they had never given such an order!"

"We, the Jee family, must not be ordered, or our family will be finished!"

The eldest daughter of the family, Ji Wen Wen, said angrily.

She and her husband had just consummated their marriage not long ago.

She was just craving for her husband's body.

If they really had to follow the orders of the Imperial Court and allow their husband to enter the army...

Then wouldn't she have to guard an empty room by herself?

She was the dignified young lady of Jee family, how could she accept such a fate?

"Young lady is right!"

"This order from the Imperial Court is too much!"

"Our Jee family's son-in-law has occupied half of the main branch's population!"

"If they are dragged away by the Imperial Court's men, what can we use to control the various branches?"

When the various elders heard this, they echoed in unison.

If the imperial court wanted money and people wanted it, they, the Jee family, could give it to them!

But if they wanted a son-in-law, that was out of the question!

Firstly, this had already touched their interests.

Secondly, it was also related to their happy lives in the future!

Don't look at how the son-in-law's status was low in other places, and he could be called a lowly commoner.

But in the Jee family, the status of the son-in-law was quite good.

They couldn't bear to part with their husbands.

When the family head Ji You heard this, she felt a slight headache.

She could understand the thoughts of each of the rooms.

After all, her husband was also a son-in-law!

"What about the other rooms?"

"What do you all think?"

"Second, third, fourth... youngest, let's talk about it!"

Ji Youyou rubbed her forehead and asked.

"Eldest sister's meaning is our meaning!"

"That's right. We can give way to the Imperial Court in other aspects, but we can't enlist a son-in-law!"

"Mother, the few of us aren't married yet. Once our husband is enthroned by the Imperial Court, wouldn't our efforts be in vain?"

The second, third, and fourth chambers... all expressed their stance in unison.

Their attitudes were extremely firm!

They were unwilling to cooperate with the imperial court's decree!

Hearing these words, Ji Youyou fell silent.

Although she was also very dissatisfied with the Imperial Court's decree.

However, she was still the clan head after all, and she saw things far ahead of others!

"Have you thought about the consequences of opposing the Imperial Court?"

Ji You sighed and said.

The moment he said this, the clamoring rooms all fell silent.

After a moment, the second wife said as if she was angry.

"The Bai Mei Imperial Court has always been weak. I don't believe that the Imperial Court would dare to touch our Jee family!"

As soon as she said this, a young girl sitting at the end of the table couldn't help but shake her head.

"Second Sister, have you forgotten that the Imperial Court is no longer the same as before!?"

"Now that the Prince Regent is in power, his words carry weight in the Imperial Court."

"Any objections will be uprooted by him!"

"Didn't you see that the capital has been slaughtering people these past few days?"

"Those who died were all nobles!"

"If our Jee family angers the Prince Regent, they might attack our Jee family!"

The girl's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's heads.

It made all the rooms in the Jee family feel a chill in their hearts.

That's right, the Imperial Court was now governed by the Prince Regent.

Not only was this person violent, he was also extremely bloodthirsty!

There were so many nobles in the capital, but they were all killed without leaving a single one alive.

How brutal was this!?

If he was truly angered, would the Jee family be able to have a good end?

"Baby, do you have any suggestions?"

The patriarch, Ji Youyou, looked up at the young girl and asked.

There was a hint of expectation in her tone.

The young ladies were all her daughters.

However, these mistresses were all mediocre people.

In other words, their youngest son had always had some insight.2

Therefore, at this moment, she really hoped that her youngest son could come up with a two-pronged solution!

"Mother, my daughter doesn't have any countermeasures either."

"However, Nanmo has always been resourceful and resourceful. You might as well ask him!"

The girl heard this and shook her head.

However, in her words, she mentioned a person called Nanmo.

This was her future husband!

Today, he was the son-in-law of the Jee family.

He was different from the other son-in-law.

This Nanmo wasn't good at all worldly businesses.

On the contrary, he was skilled in strategizing.

Therefore, he had become a different type of son-in-law in the Jee family.
