Chapter 1204 Bai Yiming’s Crisis Chen Shuci's expression suddenly became a little unnatural.
He was just resurrecting a dead body, so he seemed a little uncomfortable for a while.
Liang Xi coughed lightly to remind Chen Shuci, then she stopped Bai Yiming and said, "What's going on?
Please tell me the whole story and what I can do for you.
It doesn't matter.
Just tell me slowly.
We're not in a hurry." ” As Liang Xi spoke, she ordered the maid to bring new tea and cakes.
After taking a sip of the fragrant hot tea, Bai Yiming felt that his limbs and bones were warm, and he was not so nervous anymore, so he continued: "Then I will start from the beginning.
This is how it goes.
You all know that I He is the next heir to the Bai family, right?"
Liang Xi and Chen Shuci looked at each other, and they both saw something similar to what they were thinking in each other's eyes, so they nodded in unison and said, "Then what?"
Bai Yiming was silent for a moment, and then said seriously: "Because of the return of my third uncle, this plan that was originally made when I was born may have to change."
"You mean to change the head of the family?"
Chen Shuci said in surprise.
As a former member of the Bai family, I know the order of succession of family heads very well.
Generally, unless a special situation occurs such as the sudden death of the designated head of the house, changing the head of the house will be considered.
Otherwise, it will not change.
After all, the head of the family is the leader of the Bai family, and as the spiritual leader, he cannot be replaced at any time.
In the long history of the Bai family, there has never been a temporary change of the established head of the family.
Hearing Chen Shuci's words, Bai Yiming had a very ugly expression on his face, nodded and said: "Yes, this matter was already reported three months ago, but I always treated it as a joke, and asked my servants not to say anything casually.
After all, this is related to the foundation of our Bai family, but the first thing I did after Third Uncle came back this time was to clearly bring up the matter of changing the head of the family, and many people in the family even think that Third Uncle is more suitable than me.
"much more" Bai Yiming looked a little aggrieved: "Those who fell in love with Third Uncle had never had any objections before, but this time, for some unknown reason, they suddenly changed their minds and all fell over."
"That's it."
Liang Xi touched her chin and deliberately guessed, "Maybe it's because of your age and lack of qualifications that those people were dissatisfied with you.
But now that your third uncle has stood up, they have turned against you."
"No."
Bai Yiming shook his head and said, "This is what I doubt.
Our Bai family's clan rules for choosing the head of the family stipulate that every head of the family is selected when the child is only one year old, and then He was not trained to be the head of the family.
There is a saying that whoever is older and senior will be the head of the family, so there is no question of acceptance.
These people used to be normal, but they started to have objections to me, that is, three months ago, the third uncle wanted to be the head of the family.
When this rumor started to spread."
"Three months ago" Liang Xi counted the time silently in her mind, "I should have just come out from behind the Taikoo Bronze Gate at that time.
Is there any connection between this?"
Bai Yiming didn't know what Liang Xi was thinking, and thought he was listening carefully to his words, so he continued: "Actually, I felt vaguely uneasy three months ago, but I didn't expect that things would develop to this point.
I doubt The third uncle got the handle on these people and used it to blackmail them, but the third uncle has been developing business abroad for the past five years and has been away from home all year round.
How did he get the handle on these people?"
Liang Xi did not mention staying on this issue.
He snapped his fingers and said, "Continue."
"Well."
Bai Yiming took a sip of tea and said with a look of shame on his face, "Actually, I wanted to ask you for help before.
This time, the third uncle is bound to get it.
I always feel that he has other purposes.
Regarding the matter of the head of the family, This matter is not a child’s play, and we must not let him do whatever he wants.”
"But what can we do?"
Chen Shuci asked doubtfully, "It's not a good idea to interfere in other people's family affairs."

Bai Yiming shook his head: "No, only Liang Xi can help me with this matter, and only Liang Xi has this ability."
"Why?"
Liang Xi blinked in confusion.
"I just said it."
Bai Yiming seemed to have a chill, his body trembled slightly, and he licked his lips and said, "I suspect that the third uncle is no longer the original third uncle.
He is like a man possessed and never follows the third uncle when traveling.
I heard a piece of news from the attendants.
The third uncle’s character became very abrupt, as if he lived in a certain town.
After one night, someone came to visit that night.
The next day, the third uncle's personality changed.
He became thinner day by day.
There was a green color between his eyebrows.
To be honest, when the third uncle came back, I was the first to Seeing him scared me a lot.
Fortunately, I saw him during the day.
If it were at night, I would probably suspect that I encountered a ghost."
Bai Yiming swallowed hard, with a look of fear in his eyes that couldn't be concealed.
To be able to scare someone like him, who has been raised as the head of the family since childhood, is enough to show how scared this third uncle is.
Bai Yiming took a few breaths to regain his composure, carefully took out a wind-listening stone from his arms and said, "It's not convenient for that follower to come out with you to see you, so I recorded his words with the wind-listening stone."
A dark yellow color flashed across the wind stone, and a not very clear voice came from inside.
What the voice told was not much different from what Bai Yiming just said, but the last sentence was particularly clear: "I dare to swear, A group of us didn’t see the visiting person come out of the room that day.”
Chen Shuci looked at Liang Xi with questioning eyes.
Liang Xi was also squeezing her eyebrows and thinking.
After a moment, she looked at Bai Yiming and asked: "How old is your third uncle now and what is his name?"
Bai Yiming didn't know why Liang Xi suddenly asked this question.
He was stunned for a moment and then said suspiciously: "Does it matter?
The third uncle should be over eighty this year.
Because he takes good care of himself, he looks almost sixty years old.
His name is Bai Zhanhuai."
Because Bai Yiming was present, Liang Xi used her mental power to directly communicate with Bai Mufeng's soul in Chen Shuci's body: "Bai Zhanhuai, do you have any impressions?"
"Bai Zhanhuai, Bai Zhanhuai."
Chen Shuci frowned, obviously thinking hard.
After a long time, he gently shook his head and said, "Judging from his age, when I was alive, he was either just born, or he was still a child. , there are thousands of people in the Bai family, so the impression is not very deep.
According to Bai Yiming, he should be " Before Chen Shuci finished speaking, a beautiful maid from the civet tribe walked in.
When she came to Liang Xi, she bowed down and said: "Your lord, there is someone outside who claims to be a follower of Bai Zhanhuai of the Bai family.
I want to see you for something." you
