Shui Long was slightly puzzled as he looked at this beautiful man. At the same time, out of the corner of his eyes, he stared at the two people holding the jade medallion. He had a premonition in his heart. A jade token was something that belonged to the Shui Family's elder.

"Eastgarden Suiyun pays respects to Eldest Miss." The man's voice was hoarse, with a hint of coldness within. It gave people a feeling of being difficult to get close to.

"Suiyun, why did you come!" When Madame East Garden saw the newcomer, her expression improved. Replacing it was a look of worry for the newcomer.

The young miss of the Shui family was very strange. It was not as easy to deal with as the rumors said. If anything were to happen to Suyun, how … how could she survive?

Hearing the question from the East Courtyard Mistress, the man named Suiyun gave her a helpless look and then said, "On father's orders, I have come to deliver a joint letter for mother."

"A joint book?" "Mother, did you forget?" The man snatched her away just as she was about to ask something else. Didn't father want you to bring a joint book to meet the young miss? "

"Ah?" Ah, is that so? I, I was too worried about Eldest Miss, so I forgot to listen. " Madame East Garden smiled awkwardly and told a lie that no one would believe.

However, in this situation, no one would be able to pry it apart.

Shui Long swept a glance at Mistress Dongyuan before his gaze landed on Suiyun, "A joint book? "What's that?"

Hearing the question, the man handed over the Xuan paper in his hands and said, "Eldest Miss, the master is currently too ill to take charge of the Shui family's affairs. We would like to request Eldest Miss to elect the heir to the Shui family and hand over the Shui family's matters to the new heir. "According to the agreement between the Shui Family and the branch families, as long as more than four branch families join hands, the Shui Family must follow the requirements of the joint book."

The man's words caused Shui Long to frown. He had said something about choosing an heir, but he was clearly trying to force the Shui family to hand over all their assets!

"Ha!" "My appetite is really big." Shui Ruo taunted.

"That is not our wish either." The man's answer was watertight.

"Isn't that what you want? "Fine, go back and tell them that I'll be the heir to the Shui Family."

"..." This, is not good right? " The man felt a moment of awkwardness as he stared at the water. He couldn't believe that she would say something like that. Could it be that she didn't want to marry anymore? Well, she really couldn't seem to get married.

"What's not good?" Shui Ruo asked.

"Eldest Miss, you are a woman after all. You cannot pass on your legacy to the Shui Family. Plus, you …" "Eh, you still can't seem to get married. The issue of the next heir to the Shui clan is still far away, I'm afraid you won't be able to become the next Patriarch."

"So as long as I can get married?" The water played for a long time.

"I'm afraid not. If you want to be the master of the Shui family, you must be his son-in-law. If not, the master of the Shui family can't be you no matter what." Suiyun's attitude was firm. As he looked at Shui Yuehan, the doubt in his heart grew stronger. How did this young miss do it? You actually want to be the head of the family?

However … It was probably impossible for her to become the Patriarch. Even marrying her out of the family would be harder than ascending to heaven!

As expected, his inability to marry had something to do with these seven branch families! If he had only been guessing at this before, then now, hearing Suiyun's request, Shui Ruo could be sure. Their goal was to have the Shui family become their possession.

Thinking of this, Shui Ruo couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Everyone looked at Shui Long and suddenly laughed, thinking that she had been provoked. However, before the crowd could react, her laughter stopped abruptly. She looked at Suiyun and said word by word, "Good! It was decided. If I am unable to meet your requirements within three days, I will agree to this alliance on behalf of my father. "

What could he do in three days? Clearly, nothing could be done. She hadn't been able to get married for the past ten years, let alone three days. Hearing Shui Long's words, the man only felt that it was funny. It seemed like he was overthinking it. Perhaps this young miss was no different from the usual informants who reported that she was reluctant to hand over the Shui family, so she wanted to buy some time.

Those guys have been waiting for so many years, they can't be more than a few days away. It would be a good thing if he could make Shui Long hand over the power of the kingdom on his own accord within three days.

After weighing the pros and cons, the man smiled and slightly bent over as he said, "In that case, I hope that little miss can accomplish what you wish for. Mother, let's go. " The man's tone was indifferent. After he finished speaking, he supported the East District's Mistress, who should have been punished by Shui Ruo, and left.

After they left, the man with the jade medallion and mask also left. Obviously, these two people were here to testify, to prevent the Shui family from reneging on their debt in the future.

Heh! These branch families had prepared quite a bit for the sake of the Shui family's property.

"Miss! How could you agree to them! These people clearly have no good intentions. " After everyone had left, Bing-Er's face was full of hate for not being able to make it. She was questioning Shui Ruo.

Shui Ruo listened and looked at Bing-Er blandly. He didn't reply to her and just looked at her coldly.

"Young, young miss." Bing-Er was scared out of her wits.

"There won't be a next time. If I ever hear you yell at me again, I'll kick you out." Shui Yuehan's voice was cold, without the slightest hint of a joke.

Bing-Er looked at the water and was shocked. Fear! Right, fear. This was the first time she felt fear towards this young miss who was usually distant from others.

Miss changed. Compared to before he killed himself, he had to be more indifferent, and... It had an imposing manner.

"This servant knows her wrongs." Bing-Er was a smart girl. She knew what to do and what not to do. Soon, she accepted the carefree attitude of Shui.

Seeing that Bing-Er adapted so quickly, Shui Ruo was very satisfied. He gave her a smile and said, "Bring a few servants with you and come with me to the streets."

Bing-Er was surprised. Go on the street? What?
