Section 141: The OuYang Family

The Ouyang family

The Ou-yang family ranks third among the seven prominent families in Linhai City. With roots dating back to the late Qing Dynasty, they have weathered tumultuous times. After a period of recuperation, they have once again flourished in recent years.

Over a century of accumulation has allowed the Ouyang family to become a prominent family that no other family dares to underestimate. It is precisely through its hundred-year foundation and accumulation that the Ouyang family wields immense influence in the military, political, and business spheres.

Over the years, the OuYang family has also deliberately cultivated its own people to enter these fields. With the strong financial resources and connections of the family backing them, they often have a faster promotion speed and greater gains in power, pushing the OuYang family forward even faster.

This all works together harmoniously.

Now, there is such a big family. The next heir cultivated by the Ouyang family, the grandson of the current head of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Wudi, was cruelly murdered.

Even someone as experienced as Lian Youwu, who had weathered countless storms, couldn't bear to look at the gruesome sight of his grandson after his head had been severed.

He, was furious. For how many years had it been since he last felt such a burning rage, coupled with such profound pain.

Because he felt that this was a challenge to the authority of the Ouyang family, a naked provocation.

At this moment, Ouyang Wudi lay in bed. His family doctor had just finished administering his medicine to him. Yes, he was sick. After learning that his own grandson had been brutally murdered, he spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed.

In the living room on the other side of his bedroom, his three sons, as well as some elders and prominent figures from the OuYang family, were present. They whispered to each other, discussing the murder of OuYang Yu and the illness of Old Master OuYang.

No large family is always united, especially when faced with the temptation of power. The Ouyang family has been passed down for over a hundred years, and naturally there are many branches. And they are unwilling to let the eldest branch always occupy the position of the head of the family, although there is a rule in the family rules.

But times are changing, aren't some rules also due for a change If emperors can be democratically elected, why should the head of a family have to inherit their position Why not have a democratic selection instead

Ouyang Wudi is almost eighty years old. He is elderly and now ill.

This is a chance, everyone has their own thoughts.

Only Ouyang Yingliang, the father of Ouyang Yu, the eldest son of Ouyang Wudi, had no other thoughts. The pain of losing his son was more important than power. Besides, he had always been out of favor in the Ouyang family, and the only thing that comforted him was having a very capable son.

But now this future head of the OuYang family has been cruelly murdered.

Can he, not feel pain

Seeing his two younger brothers, and the complex expressions on the faces of the elders of the Ouyang family and his fellow clan members, he felt even more confused and pained.

Were you born into the OuYang family

At this thought, he stood up a little dazed and was about to walk outside. He wanted to look at his son's urn and take one last look at his son's picture.

"Big Brother Ot, where are you going" Ot was at that moment sitting beside Ou Yang Ying Liang on his left. His younger brother, Ou Yang Ying Ke, said with a hint of displeasure(3). "In such a serious setting, you just stand up when you say so, and leave when you say so! Do you think everyone is nothing" Ou Yang Ying Ke thought angrily in his heart.

Ouyang Yingliang turned his head and gave his younger brother a deep look, a sneer playing at the corner of his mouth. He didn't care about his reminder, just wandering forward aimlessly. He wanted to leave this place quickly, this room devoid of human warmth and familial affection.

Yuang Yingke wanted to reach out and grab his elder brother, but he was held back by his younger brother, Yuang Yingcheng, who shook his head at him secretly.

Those elders of the clan saw that Ou Yang Yingliang was a little lost and disheartened, none of them stopped him. Several elders also sighed softly, looking at this most incompetent person in the Ou Yang family with a bit of pity.

Some elders still thought with ill intentions: How could a powerful figure like Master Ouyang have such an incompetent son Did they slack off during his birth Look at his two younger brothers, each one more capable than him.

Ou Yang Yingliang's departure did not cause much attention. In their eyes, Ou Yang Yingliang had never existed and never would.

There was also a very capable son, Ouyang Yu, who everyone feared might take over the family business. That's why they dared not make things too difficult for Ouyang Yingliang. But now

According to family rules, Ou Yang Yingliang had the right to inherit his father's position. But now who would take him seriously As a result, there were too many variables in this position.

The third brother, Ou Yang Yingcheng, leaned his head towards the second brother, Ou Yang Yingke's ear and whispered: "Don't bother with that useless fellow, let him go (4) to hell."

But... But Ouyang Yingke seemed hesitant to speak.

Although he wore a face of grief, his heart was blooming with joy. After learning that his nephew, Ouyang Yu, had been murdered, he was first shocked, and then overjoyed. However, he concealed it well, always appearing consumed by pain. Who could possibly know the happiness hidden in his heart

Yuanyang died, and his older brother, Ou Yang Yingliang, was incompetent. According to the family rules, if he didn't meet with an assassination accident, the next head of the family would definitely be him.

Can you blame him for being upset

However, seeing so many elders and relatives from his clan looking at him with complex eyes filled with jealousy and envy made him feel a little ashamed. That's why he wanted to bring his older brother along, so the three brothers could work together and achieve their goal swiftly. Even if he helped his older brother ascend to power and then acted as regent, it wouldn't be impossible.

If it were any other day, he wouldn't even bother with the most inept person in the Ouyang family.

He even thought to himself: after he becomes the head of the family, should he expel his elder brother Because he doesn't do anything in the family, he just eats and drinks for nothing. Moreover, he has a special hobby, which is to love calligraphy, and he wastes a lot of high-quality Xuan paper every year. And the old man keeps satisfying this boring hobby of his.

Just as everyone was feeling different emotions, Ouyang Wudi's fifty-something butler quietly walked into Ouyang Wudi's bedroom. Seeing Ouyang Wudi awake, he walked over and said respectfully: "Master Ouyang, the Yun family called, should we answer or not"

"Oh, Cloud Family Ouyang Wudi weakly sat up and asked: 'Did the Cloud Family call' "

"Yes, Yun Hongsheng came by. " The butler looked respectfully at him.

"That boy... Oh, Ou Yang Wu Di seems to have remembered something, and said lightly. "
