In troubled times, the daughter-in-law returns

Chapter 158
The old city lord's face immediately sank, "Ah Ye, I'm not here to discuss things with you. You should know that you haven't officially taken over Yecheng yet, and I'm still the lord of Yecheng!"

Sikong Ye smiled strangely, "Father finally spoke his mind?"

Even his biological son has become alienated in the face of power.

The expression on the old city lord's face was very embarrassing. He saw that his son was so mature and excellent, with extraordinary abilities, and that Yecheng under his management was more prosperous and stable than before in his hands. He was relieved and awkward at the same time.

There is also faint jealousy, he is jealous that that person is not him!
But he also knew that he shouldn't have such thoughts, and having a perfect heir should be ecstatic good news.

So he tried his best to suppress such strange emotions, and tried his best to act like a good father, who would give everything he had to his excellent son in the future.

But in fact, because of all kinds of jealousy and uneasiness in his heart, he did not completely hand over Yecheng to Sikong Ye after he became an adult, and he still yearned for the wonderful feeling of being in power. You are still young and need to be tested.

But the eyes of the world are discerning, it is clear that no matter what ability, Sikong Ye is far superior to him.

Now that Sikong Ye poked his mind face to face, the old city lord blushed, but he still insisted on saying: "Don't think wildly! We are now discussing the return of Sikong Zhen's body and not allowing you to marry Xiao Yunqing!"

"Okay." Sikong Ye looked calm and leaned back, "Then father, what if I don't agree to these two things? Are you going to take back the management of Yecheng from me?"

The old city lord did not give a positive answer, but asked: "Even so, you don't change your mind?"

Sikong Ye tapped lightly on the table with his fingers, "Father, unless you take back all the power, I will definitely rectify the Sikong family.

"The matter of Sikong Zhen is an excellent starting point. As for my marriage with Xiao Yunqing, I don't think there is anything wrong with me getting married to her. She is smart, capable, and has outstanding martial arts. Don't you think that I have such a person to assist me?" Would it be of great benefit to our family or to the whole Yecheng than marrying a vase home?"

The old city lord was silent for a moment, the embarrassment and flush on his face faded, but his eyes became sharper, "That is to say, you will not accept my conditions no matter what?"

"It's not unacceptable," Sikong Ye said with a very calm expression, "I said, as long as I am not the person in power in Yecheng, my words will naturally no longer be effective. But since I am not the person in power in Yecheng, then my marriage There is no such thing as what my father and mother said to shame the City Lord's Mansion."

The veins on the old city lord's forehead were throbbing, "Are you forcing me?"

"Don't dare," Sikong Ye bowed slightly, "Father is wise, he should know what is best for Yecheng."

The old city lord's expression fluctuated. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't believe that Sikong Ye would hand over the power he got. As a man, he knew how attractive power was.

So he concluded that it was Sikong Ye who was threatening him, but who was he?Not only the city lord of Ye City, but also Sikong Ye's father, if he compromised in front of Sikong Ye and spread the word, where would his face be?
He asked unwillingly: "So, you will never give in and retreat?"

Sikong Ye also showed his own attitude: "Yes."

"Okay," the old city lord gritted his teeth, "Then you hand over Yecheng again, and go home and contemplate your mistakes behind closed doors!"

Disappointment flashed across Sikong Ye's eyes, but no change could be seen on his face, he only responded softly, "I'll hand it over right away."

Immediately let Gu An come in, "Is everything I asked you to prepare ready?"

Gu An turned around and waved immediately, handing over a few guards, each of whom was holding a big box in their arms.

Sikong Ye raised his hand and pointed: "Father, look, here are all kinds of files, all of which have been sorted and sorted out. It also records the various changes I have made since taking over Yecheng. If you think it is not good, please return Can be changed back.

"As for personnel deployment and the like," he said unhurriedly, "I have single-handedly promoted all the positions now. If my father doesn't want to use them, he can be dismissed with a word. After all, the clansmen say that we are The young faction crowds out the old."

Speaking of the latter, there was already a bit of sarcasm in his tone.

The old city lord was completely stunned!He was just threatening, and he didn't expect Sikong Ye to be so straightforward, so for a moment, he couldn't say a word.

After a long time, the guards had put down the boxes full of files neatly and retreated out, the old city lord raised a finger and pointed at Sikong Ye, "Are you picking me up?"

"No," Sikong Ye shook his head, "Father, it was you who gave me such a difficult choice, and the balance between the two is the only way I can do it.

"Before, in order to sort out Yecheng, I didn't even have time to sleep. Too many things happened in the past six months. I haven't had a good rest for a long time. I'm going to take Qingqing out to relax. Father didn't opinion?"

The old city lord seemed ten years older in an instant, he raised his eyelids and looked at Sikong Ye, "I object, will you obey?"

Sikong Ye chuckled, "Of course not."

The old city lord's breath was blocked in his chest, this son!Disobedience!

But unfortunately, his wings are hardened, and he can't restrain himself at all!

Sikong Ye bowed to him, "In that case, my son will take his leave."

After he finished speaking, he got up and walked out without hesitation.

The old city lord Sikong hurriedly called him, "Where are you going? Even if you no longer manage Yecheng, this is still your home!"

Sikong Ye paused slightly, "Father, if I still live here, I will still be the young city lord in the eyes of the world. After all, since I took over Yecheng, Yecheng's big and small decisions have been made from here. Therefore, From now on, I will move out of Yecheng."

The old city lord was very annoyed, "Why, you don't even want your parents if you don't like one?"

"I didn't say no," Sikong Ye said calmly, "Father, you and mother gave me life, and I will not be less filial at all. However, I am also a mortal and I will be tired. I will rest for a while. Time, go out for a break, can't you?

"When my parents are here, there must be a way to travel. Wherever I go, I will definitely tell my parents." But whether they agree or not, he will go.

The old city lord was speechless for a while, watching Sikong Ye drift away.

Those confidantes who followed Sikong Ye also followed silently.

Even if the old city lord wanted to keep them, he couldn't, because these people were all single-handedly selected and trained by Sikong Ye, and they only obeyed his orders.
