439 You should ask your wife to know the answer

"Brother, what kind of question is this? Are you doubting our father? You insinuating that he took part in the death of my son, his own grandson?" Ling Li could not stand it and started shouting, he was not believing what his big brother was talking about.

"Son, did you bring us here just to ask me that?" The old man asked Ling Xi with a solemn face.

"Yes"

"Son, before you answer that question, could you answer one thing?"

"What question?"

"Son, are you proud of your wife's achievements? Or do you feel good about being someone who is in a lower position than a woman? "

"Dad, what are you asking?"

"Son, just answer me"

"Of course I feel proud of my wife's achievements, for her achievements are also my achievements, we both share that. Xiao Zi always says that if I was not with her, she would never have achieved the current achievements. I have always been by her side and sharing her burden.

In the Nine Worlds, custom is patriarchy, where man is the most important and holds more power, but after spending these last three hundred years with Xiao Zi, I began to realize many things, one of which was the difficulty of the patriarchs of others clan or the elders of the Xiao clan, accept Xiao Zi as leader, although she is much stronger, clever and talented than many of them. These men could not accept a woman in a position equal to theirs, even if she were stronger in every way.

Xiao Zi endured all this and managed to become one of the great matriarchs of the clan Xiao and the leader of the Mercantile Alliance after much struggle and pressure the other clans, in the end, all could only accept her because Xiao Zi was the most qualified person for this. Xiao Zi always thanked me for being by her side and never forsaking her.

So I am grateful to have a strong wife like Xiao Zi, and I will never regret having married her. The only thing I regret is that I have not helped Xiao Zi much more, and have support more of her burden.

Dad, you asked me if I'm proud to be in a lower position than a woman, right? I say that I am proud because the woman above me has fought twice more and has had twice as much determination to get where she has arrived. This proves her willingness to fight and not give up.

And I'm even prouder that this woman is my precious wife with whom I have two beautiful daughters."

Each word of Ling Xi was spoken of his heart, contained every emotion he felt during the nearly three hundred years he spent beside the matriarch. Each moment of the two together was turned into words, but there were still millions of things he could not speak for there was no way to describe the emotions he felt when he saw his wife's smile after a long day at work.

"Son, is that your answer?"

"Yes"

"Son, your thinking is different from mine. This must be because of the fact that I've always been at the top and you're not. Son, one day you will understand my words"

"Dad, did you kill your own grandson cause it? Just because a woman controls a clan? Father, you must know that over the years, in the history of the Nine Worlds, there were thousands of leaders who were super powerful women without comparison"

"I did not kill my own grandson, he who killed himself, he was weak and useless. I spent hundreds of years' efforts to train him, and he died so pathetically. I can not imagine him being my grandson, my two sons are so good, but my grandson is useless, this is a waste.

Son, this may be true, but in my generation there was none, but in the present generation there is only your wife. But in the end, it's just her, there's no other. Son, one day you will understand that a woman is not meant to control a clan or lead an organization, even if she is the most appropriate person. You will see when the time comes, before that, live well or die like any other person."The old man's words were like blades cutting Ling Xi's heart, he never imagined that such a thing could happen, his father, the person who always cared for him and cared for the clan, became a heartless person who would kill his own grandson.

The same was true for Ling Li and his mother, they could not believe what they were seeing, the old man they were familiar with would never say something like that, they immediately thought there was something wrong.
