Chapter 989 - Princess Establishing Power

In China, since ancient times, the main seat had always been sat by the head of the family.

Now that Old Madam Wei was standing at the side, Xia Wanyuan was sitting on the main seat leisurely. No one dared to imagine the meaning behind this.

“Mother, what are you doing?”

“Grandma?”

The Wei family members in the room had ugly expressions. Even a fool could tell that Old Madam Wei was preparing to hand the Wei family over to Xia Wanyuan.

Old Madam Wei held a walking stick and stood beside Xia Wanyuan. She waved at everyone, signaling for them to quieten down. “I said last year that I would retire at the end of the year and hand over the power of the family to Xia Wanyuan. It’s not a temporary idea. I’ve already completed all the relevant legal procedures.”

Old Madam Wei’s words completely shattered the hope in everyone’s hearts.

“The Wei family will be handed over to Xia Wanyuan in the future. From now on, you must help her with all your might.”

As expected, when Matriarch Wei said this, the hall was silent.

After all, who in the hall did not want to sit in the main seat?

“Haha.” Wei Zhong suddenly laughed and clapped. “Congratulations, Mother, for finding a suitable successor. I believe you still have a lot of things to do, so I won’t pester you anymore.”

With that, Wei Zhong pulled Wei Jin up and was about to leave.

“Wait,” Xia Wanyuan said.

“Why? Although you control the Wei family’s power, it’s only the Wei family in Beijing. You have no right to interfere in our Jiangnan Wei family’s matters.” Wei Zhong turned to look at Xia Wanyuan.

“It’s true that I can’t interfere, but I’m afraid you can’t either.”

“What do you mean?” Wei Zhong’s eyes were filled with confusion.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside the door.

“I heard that someone wants to take my granddaughter-in-law away. Why didn’t anyone inform me?” The energetic Old Master Mu walked in.

Wei Zhong was stunned. “Old Master Mu, what do you mean?”

“Your daughter and my grandson have already gotten married and registered their marriage. They’re legally married. Even if you’re her father, you don’t have the right to take her away casually.” Old Master Mu sat down on the chair beside him.

Wei Zhong turned to look at Wei Jin. “Is what he said true?!”

Wei Jin clenched her fists and subconsciously glanced at Xia Wanyuan.

Xia Wanyuan nodded at her. Wei Jin seemed to have gained courage. “It’s true. Mu Feng and I have already registered our marriage.”

“Bastard!” Wei Zhong raised his hand to hit Wei Jin, but Old Master Mu stopped him.

“What are you doing?”

Wei Zhong glanced at Old Master Mu and then at Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting behind him.

The north was originally the territory of the Wei family in Beijing. In addition, the Mu family was also very important. If he fought them head-on, it would probably be difficult for him to leave Beijing today.

After weighing the two, Wei Zhong’s expression quickly changed. He smiled and looked at Wei Jin. “Daughter, your mother misses you. You haven’t been back for so long. Don’t you miss your mother?”

As expected, when Wei Zhong said this, Wei Jin’s face instantly turned pale. She looked at Wei Zhong hesitantly. “I.”

“In half a month, the Wei family is going to hold a banquet for the guests.” Xia Wanyuan walked down and interrupted Wei Jin. “Knowing that Cousin misses Mother, I’ve already gotten someone to bring Cousin’s mother over from Nanjiang City in advance. Second Uncle, youcan stay too. Wouldn’t it be better for the three of you to reunite then?”

“What did you say?!” Wei Zhong looked at Xia Wanyuan in disbelief.

How was that possible? Third Brother and Fourth Brother all knew that Wei Jin’s mother was the rope that pulled Wei Jin. How could they allow others to take Wei Jin’s mother away??

“Cousin, really?” Wei Jin’s eyes suddenly lit up as she looked at Xia Wanyuan in surprise.

“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan nodded. “She should be in Beijing tonight.”

“Good, good, good.” Wei Zhong said three ‘good’s in a row. “As expected of the good successor chosen by Auntie. You’re indeed capable.”

Wei Zhong understood that the only leverage he had to restrain Wei Jin was gone. He had completely lost his wife and his troops by coming here today.

No matter what, he could not take Wei Jin away today. Wei Zhong looked at Xia Wanyuan hatefully. “Let’s wait and see.”

With that, Wei Zhong flicked his sleeves and left without looking at Wei Jin.

Old Master Mu chuckled. “Congratulations, Matriarch Wei.”

Xia Wanyuan smiled. “Old Master, you’re too kind.”

Old Master Mu stroked his beard. “Thank you for your help today. I’ll bring my granddaughter-in-law back first.”

“Okay.”

With that, Xia Wanyuan nodded at Wei Jin comfortingly. “Go. Your mother will arrive in Beijing tonight.”

“Thank you, Cousin.” Wei Jin’s eyes were red.

She knew how deep the Wei family’s influence was in Nanjiang City. To be able to bring her mother out of the Wei family’s old residence, Xia Wanyuan must have paid a considerable price. Furthermore, at this moment, the Wei family of Jiangnan and the Wei family of Beijing had completely fallen out. To Xia Wanyuan, it was a huge problem.

“You’re welcome.” Xia Wanyuan could tell what Wei Jin was thinking.

However, to her,

It was not a bad thing to break this stalemate.

Only when there is destruction could there be formation.

Since she had taken over the Wei family, she had to unite the already torn Wei family.

The head of the Wei family should be the head of the entire Wei family.

Old Master Mu left with Wei Jin. Old Madam Wei removed the burden on her and returned to the backyard with the butler’s help with a tired expression.

The hall was silent.

Everyone waited silently. Xia Wanyuan did not speak and sat quietly on the high seat drinking tea. The entire hall had a strange atmosphere.

“I’m tired. Let’s go.” Wei Yu suddenly yawned and rolled her eyes at Xia Wanyuan. She stood up and walked out the door.

Tsk, it was just because she had married a good man. If not for the Jun family’s support, how could Xia Wanyuan be the head of the Wei family??

“Sigh, I’m a little tired too. Let’s go.” With someone taking the lead, the other juniors followed Wei Yu out.

Although the elders did not move, they did not stop these juniors.

“Stop,” Xia Wanyuan said from the main seat.
