The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile

Chapter 290 Clan Elders

"Sir, the old man of the Li family wants you to come over. He said someone from the family is coming."

Shang Ruoyi nodded thoughtfully, thinking that Li Wenshan and his son must have invited all the elders of the Li family.

"I understand." She changed her clothes, put on the mask, and walked towards the main hall.

Before she reached the main hall, she heard several voices coming from inside.

"Huai'an, you are already old now, you should let the younger generation take care of the family affairs."

"That's right. Wenshan and Quan'er didn't make many mistakes when they were managing the Li family. It's really inhumane to kick them out just for some minor things."

"That's right. Now you have to call us old bones over to help you handle the household affairs."

Li Huaian, the old man of the Li family, said in a deep voice: "It is my family's business to expel the father and son from the Li family. The uncles are old and if you think it is troublesome, just ignore it."

"You fellow, we old guys came to help you solve your problem, and you didn't even thank us, but you actually said such things. You are becoming more and more unruly. Since you set up your own house, you have been increasingly looking down on us old guys. How can you disrespect your elders just because your business is big?" The old man sitting at the head of the table sneered, "I see that you are not as good as that teenage kid Quan'er."

Li Huaian frowned. Facing these elders, he was angry but didn't dare to express it, for fear that he would really make them hurt.

Just then, a servant came over with a tray with teacups on it. The servant was Li Yin.

"Where are you taking this?"

"Miss." Li Yin said softly, "This is to be sent to the main hall."

Shang Ruoyi turned her head to look towards the main hall, and saw several gray-haired old men sitting inside. She took out a porcelain bottle and poured the spiritual spring water into the teacups, fearing that she would say something that would make them so angry that they would faint. So she took the medicine first to avoid any trouble.

Li Yin saw this and said nothing, but just brought the teacup in.

At this time, the people in the main hall were talking till they were thirsty. When they saw the tea being served, they all started drinking it at the same time.

After taking a sip, you will feel refreshed.

Everyone couldn't help but drink a few more sips.

Li Huaian also felt that today's tea seemed more fragrant than before.

After drinking the tea, I felt better.

The old men recovered their strength and continued to persuade him, "Huaian, you only have one son, Wenshan. If you don't give this huge family business to him, are you going to give it to someone else?"

"Outsider?" Li Huaian smiled and said, "Who is the outsider that my uncle is talking about?"

"You drove Wenshan and Quan'er out of the house. Now the Li family only has Xia Xia, a girl, left. She will get married sooner or later. Are you going to hand over our huge Li family business to someone else?"

Li Huaian sneered: "Second Uncle, I don't know how much the Li family has, but there is one thing I do know. The Li family can be what it is today because of our branch's accumulation. Now it seems that it is not up to others to tell me who I should give this family business to."

"You!" the old man said coldly, "Your father has never made such a clear distinction between us, but now you are here and you are talking to us like this. Do you still have us old guys in your eyes? Do you still respect the elders and the younger ones?"

"That's right. You can't write two Li characters with this stroke. After all, we are all family. We share happiness and adversity. Now that you are rich and powerful and have opened some purple oriental pearls, why do you want to distance yourself from us old men? It's a bit ungrateful."

Li Wenshan and his son stood behind those people and sneered. Now, the only ones who could deal with this old guy were the three most experienced members of the Li family.

Although the Li family is a merchant family, they still attach great importance to the respect of seniority. Li Huaian's face turned pale and he wanted to get angry but he suppressed it.

At this moment, Li Xia Xia stood up and said in a deep voice: "Three great grandfathers, this is our family's business after all, aren't you meddling in too much?"

When the three heard this, they put down their tea and slammed the table heavily: "Huaian, is this the family teacher of your Li family? Now that the elders are all here, how can she, a junior, have the turn to speak?"

"That's exactly what Big Brother said. Not only that, but she's a girl. Girls are always money-losing. How dare she be so unruly in front of our ancestors? She should be sent to the family ancestral hall and taught a lesson."

Li Wenshan said coldly: "You don't know the rules. How can you have the right to speak in front of my great grandfather? Why don't you go back to your yard? Reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors!"

Li Quan also curled his lips: "That's right, how can you have a say here?"

Upon hearing this, Li Huaian pointed at Li Quan and said, "You! Cough cough cough." Before he finished his words, he started coughing.

Seeing this, the old man in the lead hurriedly said, "Huaishan, you are not in good health, so you should hand over the Li family to the young people earlier. Wenshan has been in charge of the Li family for many years and has never made any mistakes. Quan'er is young and full of youthful energy, so you just need to pay attention to him in the future. Why do you have to be so fussy?"

Li Huaian was annoyed by the constant chatter of these old men and wanted to argue, but when he thought of their old age, he couldn't bear to open his mouth. Li Xia Xia, who was wiping tears beside him, dared not say a word.

Seeing this, Li Wenshan and his son couldn't help but look at each other. It seemed that their return to the Li family was just around the corner.

At this moment, a sneer came from the door: "What do you mean you should hand over the Li family to others just because you are not in good health? If that's the case, you guys know you are old and confused, so don't meddle in other people's family affairs and just take care of your own business."

A few people looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man in a black robe and a mask on his face standing at the door. There was a sneer on the corner of his lips and he looked at them with cold eyes.

"You! Who are you? How dare you speak nonsense here!" The old man in white knocked heavily on the cane in front of him and said angrily: "The Li family has turned the tables. I don't know where some random person can talk to our ancestors in the main hall."

Shang Ruoyi looked at him and sneered, "Ancestor? This is really the funniest joke I have heard today. Whose ancestors are you? You have no children? Why do you have to be the ancestors of someone else's family?" She glanced at Li Wenshan and his son behind them and sneered, "I see that this father and son seem to want to be your grandchildren. Although they have been kicked out now, if you like them, you can pick them up."

Shang Ruoyi's words successfully made the faces of the people in the main hall change suddenly.

Li Xia Xia looked at her with admiration, worthy of being Sister Shang.
