Chapter 134: The dispute between the head of the family
Xu Youyou really didn't know where her confidence came from, and she couldn't figure out how He Zhilan had a smart face, so how could he believe these strange words.
The Qilin jade pendant in her mouth was not an ordinary ancient jade pendant, but more like a magic weapon that gave birth to a magic weapon in a fantasy novel.
"Did your family think too much? Is it so effective? Don't do things in a vague way." Xu Youyou said helplessly.
He Zhilan explained: "Miss Xu, you should have heard a saying: After eliminating all the impossible, the guess that stayed, even if it is outrageous, must be the truth."
Xu Youyou nodded slightly, and these words seemed to be from a detective TV series.
He Zhilan continued: "My ancestors have recorded that they have lost this Qilin jade pendant several times, but they will be found by their children and nephews in the end. These children and nephews, without exception, are the best juniors in the He family."
"Later, my ancestors chose to succeed the head of the family in this way. Whenever the head of the family handed over, the senior head of the family would deliberately send out the Qilin jade pendant. Whoever could find the jade pendant was the next head of the family, and the owner of the jade pendant outside would be the closest partner of the He family."
Xu Youyou said, "You are so sure? Haven't you ever had any trouble in recent years? For example, the senior head of the family secretly told the place of the jade pendant to his favorite juniors?"
He Zhilan smiled and nodded and said, "Everyone has selfish intentions, and this kind of thing is naturally inevitable, but the Qilin Jade Pendant has a spirit. Even if you know where it is, you may not be able to get it."
Xu Youyou opened her eyes slightly.
He Zhilan explained: "There was a head of the family who wanted to pass the throne to his own son and buried the Qilin jade pendant in his backyard. He just waited overnight. Unexpectedly, the jade pendant was dug out by an uninformed servant and sold it secretly."
"Finally, three years later, he appeared thousands of miles away from the He family's base camp and happened to meet a son of a branch exiled by his family. This person who was not valued and forced to leave his home was my great-grandfather, and he became the head of the He family because of this."
When Xu Youyou heard her tell this story, she felt like she was listening to a cool story about a male counterattack.
"The Qilin Jade Pendant is the most important treasure of the He family. It will filter out the real Qilin son of the He family." He Zhilan's face was shining with a strange light at this time.
Now that she gets this jade pendant, it means she is the next head of the family that is for sure.
But Xu Youyou still thinks this fact is too ridiculous and doesn’t look like the decision a big family should have.
"If you don't judge this person's character, rely entirely on a jade pendant. Could it be that this jade pendant is not wrong?" Xu Youyou asked.
He Zhilan lowered his voice and said, "People's judgment is sometimes not as good as this jade pendant."
"During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, my ancestors tried every means to send this jade pendant to Emperor Jianwen, who had just been made the grandson, and wanted him to become a destined person for the He family, but in the end this jade pendant appeared in the hands of King Yan Zhu Di."
"Short after Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, King Yan Zhu Di gave this jade pendant to his family generals as a wedding gift."
"The wife of the family general, He, wore this jade pendant and returned to her parents' home after half a year of marriage."
"According to the choice of Qilin Jade Pendant, the person who is destined to be the King of Yan Zhu Di, and the next head of the family should be this He woman who married out of the country."
"But the He family felt that Emperor Jianwen's throne was stable and he was unwilling to recognize a daughter married outside as the head of the family. He thought that the Qilin Jade Pendant was wrong." "After Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, he strongly advocated the reduction of the vassals and forced the Queen of Hunan to death. King Yan Zhu Di raised an army to rebel. After the Jingnan Campaign, the branch of the He family was brutal as the remnant party of Emperor Jianwen, and one out of ten was not left. However, the ancestor of the daughter married outside and his close relative were able to save their lives because they stood in the side of the King of Yan."
"The remaining He family, even if they are unwilling to accept a female head, will rename the female ancestor who married out of the country as the head of the family after the King of Yan ascended the throne."
"In the years when Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism was most popular, no matter how many strange sounds there were in the outside world, whether it was a married daughter or a widow, as long as the head of the family selected by the Qilin Jade Pendant, whether it was a man or a woman, he could be the head of the He family, and the He family has been passed down to this day."
Xu Youyou's face showed a shock. How many lives did this Qilin Jade Pendant be saved by the ancestors of the He family in his previous life? Repaying kindness for thousands of years.
At this time, she vaguely believed He Zhilan's statement. After all, outsiders don't know, but Xu Youyou knew in her heart that the system had cheated her, and she was not an ordinary person.
Xu Youyou was also a little curious and asked, "In the past century, how did your He family choose?"
He Zhilan knew everything about Xu Youyou and explained:
"The destined person who was following our family resolutely joined the revolution of the War of Resistance Against Japan. In order to support him, the head of the hometown sold all his family business and exchanged materials to support the front line, and sent several family children to the front line to fight against the war and save the nation. Unfortunately, the destined person died on the battlefield, and most of the family children were unable to come back."
Xu Youyou sighed when she heard this and admired the He family more. She acted so decisively, no wonder she was always one of the four antique families.
He Zhilan was also quite helpless about this and said, "Since the He family stood in the wrong team between Emperor Jianwen and Emperor Chengzu of Ming Dynasty, which almost caused the whole family to be overthrown, we will no longer dare to disobey the Qilin Jade Pendant."

The Qilin Jade Pendant seemed to be too effective, and Xu Youyou was reluctant to sell the Qilin Jade Pendant to the He family for a moment.
However, she also knew in her heart that she would forcibly keep such items that were deeply entangled with a family, but she was afraid that she would not be able to use them for her.
"I'm actually exposed to the Qilin Jade Pendant, otherwise you might not be willing to sign Miss Zhiting to me."
He Zhilan smiled and said, "The person who chooses the Qilin Jade Pendant will definitely not be a traitor or a villain. Miss Xu's company must be cleaner than other companies. I have nothing to worry about."
Xu Youyou could only comfort herself and did not lose money. She earned 100 million in vain and selected a female artist with top potential for the company.
"Happy cooperation." Xu Youyou stretched out her hand, which recognized the identity of a destined person.
He Zhilan shook his hands back: "Ms. Xu, from now on, the He family will be Miss Xu's most determined partner and will unconditionally support all Miss Xu's decisions."
Xu Youyou actually couldn't understand what it was to have an antique family as a partner. After all, she never needed help from others when she found a bargain.
"Miss Xu, I have a heartless request. When you bought this Qilin jade pendant from the auction, do you have relevant certificates? The He family confirms the position of the head of the family, and also traces the 'adventure route' of the Qilin jade pendant outside." He Zhilan asked politely.
Xu Youyou nodded: "Looking back, I will ask the housekeeper to send you the relevant vouchers from Shanghai City."
