Chapter 725 - 717 Qualifications (1)_1
People in this world are not afraid of death. Look, Third Elder Master Xiao of the Xiao Family isn’t afraid to die either, as he stood up and said, "Family Head, what you’re saying is wrong. It’s not that you’re our puppet and your marital affairs must be approved by us. Rather, precisely because you are the Family Head, your wife will be the main matriarch of the Xiao Family. And let me tell you, not just anyone is eligible to assume that role." Third Elder Master Xiao said this and glanced at Situ Xin, his gaze conveying clearly that this woman was not fit to be their Xiao Family’s main matriarch.
Even though Situ Xin was nibbling on some snacks, apparently not paying attention to the commotion below, she observed every move made by Third Elder Master Xiao with absolute clarity. Just as Xiao Muli was about to speak up in retort, a delicate hand grasped his. With a gentle squeeze, she made him instantly close his mouth.
Situ Xin had said before that from the moment she acknowledged Xiao Muli as her fiancé, she would not let her fiancé face the battle alone. And to her, this really wasn’t much of an issue.
"Oh, then may I ask Third Elder Master Xiao, who is qualified to become the main matriarch of the Xiao Family?" Situ Xin asked, swallowing the pastry in her mouth with an air of nonchalance.
"Who asked you to speak?" Third Elder Master Xiao didn’t take Xiao Muli’s words to heart at all; as soon as Situ Xin posed her question, he rebuked her sharply.
Before Third Elder Master Xiao could finish his curses directed at Situ Xin, Xiao Muli’s expression darkened. He rebuked Third Elder Master Xiao, "Third Uncle, I give you respect by calling you Third Uncle, and now you’re really taking yourself too seriously. How can my fiancée not have the right to speak? Huh?"
"Hehe. Muli, don’t be angry, it’s not worth getting upset over these irrelevant people," Situ Xin was far from angered by Third Elder Master Xiao’s words. However, Situ Xin was not someone to be easily provoked; the repeated condescension and challenges from Third Elder Master Xiao had exhausted her patience, and she hadn’t intended to be polite anyway. "I’ll also refer to you as Third Uncle. If you won’t answer my question, I’ll answer it for you. Isn’t it that you want to introduce your brother-in-law’s granddaughter to Muli, hoping she’d become the Xiao Family’s main matriarch? However, looking at your brother-in-law’s granddaughter, she’s nowhere near qualified to sit in the position of the Xiao Family’s main matriarch."
