Chapter 2871
"Mm."
Xie Yun walked away with a heavy expression.
She was right to be worried.
She had only taken a few steps into the old residence when someone rushed toward her. "Madam."
Xie Yun's heart sank when she saw the person's anxious expression. She stopped in her tracks and asked, "What's the matter?"
The other party panted heavily with a flustered expression. "Madam. The Third Elder and the others gathered in the Righteousness Hall and publicly said that they wanted to elect a new Patriarch. They also said..."
"What else did they say?" Xie Yun let out a shaky breath, and her expression turned solemn.
That person stammered. "They also said... the Patriarch has been missing for five days. The possibility he's alive is zero. They can't wait any longer. They have to immediately elect a new Patriarch to lead the Ji family to a new stage."
Anyone with a brain could tell that the elders gathered in the Righteousness Hall were not selecting a new Patriarch. They were clearly forcing Madam to abdicate!
Xie Yun had expected this since she received the news in the morning, but she did not expect Ji Ziyin and the rest to arrive so quickly.
They did not give Ji Nan the time to come back.
Her heartbeat accelerated, and she immediately instructed him, "Go to the manor and get Nan Tianyi. Tell him that I've asked for him."
The servant bowed his head. "Yes."
Xie Yun could only rely on her brother-in-law, Nan Tianyi, for now. She could not think of another person to ask for help.
She tidied the creases on her collar and instructed another servant with a dark expression, "Let's go to the Righteousness Hall!"
Along the way, Xie Yun mentally prepared to fight the elders to the end. No matter what, she had to buy time until Ji Nan returned.
Unexpectedly, the moment she entered the Righteousness Hall, she saw Old Madam Xie sitting on the high seat. Xie Yun's expression changed slightly, and she revealed a stunned expression. "Mom? Why are you here?"
However, she realized what was happening before she even finished speaking.
Xie Yun's breath rushed to the top of her head, and she almost vomited blood.
She quickly walked over and asked her to get up. "What are you doing here? Go back quickly! This is not a place for you."
Old Madam Xie looked displeased. "I'm here to see you. What's with your reaction?"
She pushed Xie Yun's hand away and refused to leave.
Xie Yun was almost angered to death, but there was nothing she could do about
her 70-year-old mother. She could only stare at her.
Old Madam Xie pretended not to see it and turned to Ji Ziyin with a smile. "I came here with Ziyin."
Xie Yun did not want to talk to her anymore.

Old Madam Xie did not seem to notice. She turned back to her and reprimanded in a low voice, "I heard that you don't like Ziyin. Lingfeng's whereabouts are currently unknown. You can't keep dragging it out. I know you have feelings for him, but the family is more important. You can't just rely on your emotions!" The content is on Novelxo.org!

Xie Yun had long known that her mother was biased and only cared about her
brother's family.
She never cared about her and Xie Tingyun.
Their marriage was just a tool to further the family.
It was just that she was unlucky to marry Ji Lingfeng, with whom she shared no emotional foundation.

Xie Tingyun was lucky. The person she liked happened to be the person the Xie family wanted to rope in. They were in love and were glad to spend their lives together. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest

She knew that big families prioritized benefits, so she did not resent her mother's
decision back then.
However, at this moment, Xie Yun felt a chill run down her spine, and her lips went cold!

Old Madam Xie did not beat around
the bush. "Lingfeng valued Ziyin the most in the past. Now that he's gone, Ziyim should naturally inherit the Patriarch position. Don't harm the entire Ji family for a little selfishness! The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
