After picking up his sister, Brother Jin gave her his life

Chapter 338 Clan Elders

The housekeeper led Ming Nanjin and others through the old house of the Bei Ming family. Along the way, everyone was shocked by the grandeur and majesty of the old house.

Jiang Shiyu widened his eyes, looked around curiously, and couldn't help but sigh: "Jin, how big is your old house!"

Ming Nanjin remained silent and did not answer. His eyes revealed a complex emotion. For him, this place had never been his warm home, but a cold place full of interests and exploitation. Here, he could not feel any family affection and love, only endless calculations and struggles.

The group continued walking forward and passed through the backyard. The scenery in the backyard was completely different from the luxurious front yard. It seemed more quiet and peaceful. A small courtyard-like house appeared in front of them.

As the housekeeper walked, he explained slowly, "The house in front was built later by the head of Bei Ming Mo family. Several elders didn't like it and still preferred to live in a courtyard like this. They felt that this kind of house has the original atmosphere, so the house in front is usually for servants to live in."

When Jiang Shiyu and the others heard what the housekeeper said, their mouths opened wide in surprise. They couldn't believe their ears. The house in front of them, which looked so luxurious and exquisite, was actually just for servants to live in. How rich was Bei Mingmo's financial resources?

Jiang Shiwen turned to look at Ming Nanjin, and a wave of worry surged in his heart. If the situation is really as the housekeeper said, then Ming Nanjin's next path will be extremely difficult. You know, Bei Mingmo is not the real head of the family yet, and he has such a huge amount of funds in his hands. Now that Ming Nanjin has suddenly returned, Bei Mingmo will definitely realize that his position as the head of the family is threatened. With his personality, he will never let go so easily.

Jiang Shiwen thought to himself, frowning. He knew that Bei Mingmo's methods were always cruel and ruthless. In order to maintain his position, he would probably do whatever it takes to deal with Ming Nanjin. Thinking of this, Jiang Shiwen couldn't help but worry about Ming Nanjin's future.

Yan Zeyu also realized the seriousness of the matter. He patted Ming Nanjin's shoulder gently, as if wanting to give him some silent support and encouragement.

Little Chengcheng didn’t quite understand the complicated thoughts between the adults. He just looked at everything around him curiously, his little hands tightly holding the corner of Ming Nanjin’s clothes.

Ming Nanjin's face was very solemn. He knew very well that this time he would face a difficult battle. But for his mother and the truth about his family, he was ready to face all challenges.

They followed the housekeeper and continued walking towards the courtyard. The stone road under their feet was winding and the flowers and trees on the roadside were neatly trimmed. The breeze blew by, bringing a faint scent of flowers, but it could not dispel the haze in Ming Nanjin's heart.

The butler walked in front, his steps steady and calm. He continued to introduce: "Although this courtyard looks plain on the outside, the interior is very well decorated. Each room is carefully decorated according to the preferences of the elders, and the furniture and decorations used are all valuable antiques."

Jiang Shiyu couldn't help but interrupt: "What do the elders usually do here?"

The housekeeper smiled and said, "The elders spend most of their time discussing family affairs or receiving important guests. Sometimes, they also hold some family activities here."

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the gate of the courtyard. The gate was open, as if welcoming them.

Walking into the courtyard, the first thing that comes into view is a small and exquisite courtyard. There is a pond in the middle of the courtyard, with a few goldfish swimming freely in the clear water. Next to the pond is an ancient osmanthus tree, which is in bloom at this time, and the golden flowers on the tree are emitting a rich fragrance.

The rooms of the Siheyuan are built around the courtyard. The doors and windows of the rooms are made of wood and are carved with exquisite patterns. A plaque is hung at the door of each room, which states the purpose of the room.

Ming Nanjin looked at all this familiar yet unfamiliar stuff, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart. He knew that from the moment he stepped into this courtyard, he had no way out and had to bravely face everything that was coming.

The butler led them into a main hall, where several armchairs were placed and portraits of the family's ancestors were hung on the walls. In the center of the main hall was a huge table, on which were placed some tea sets and four treasures of the study.

"Please wait here for a moment. I will go and inform the elders." After the butler said this, he turned and left.

Ming Nanjin and others were waiting in the main hall, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing. Jiang Shiwen tried to break the silence and said, "Jin, no matter what, we will support you."

Ming Nanjin looked at him gratefully and nodded.

Time passed by minute by minute, and every second was a torment for Ming Nanjin. Finally, the housekeeper came back and said, "Elders, please come in."

Ming Nanjin took a deep breath and led everyone into the inner room. What awaited them was an unknown fate.

The moment the elders saw Ming Nanjin coming in, they were amazed. Ming Nanjin had an upright figure, a cold and resolute temperament, and her deep eyes seemed to contain countless stories. When they looked at Xiao Chengcheng in Ming Nanjin's arms, the elders were even more shocked. Xiao Chengcheng's delicate little face and lively big eyes, if not for the red heart birthmark, looked exactly like Bei Ming Nanling when he was a child.

"These are the elders of the Beiming family, Master Jin." After the housekeeper finished speaking, he tactfully withdrew and gently closed the door. The room immediately fell into a depressing silence.

Although the elders were all surprised, their faces were still serious. One of the elders said in a strong and old voice: "Except for the Beiming family, all other irrelevant people please leave!" The voice seemed to carry an irresistible majesty, and Jiang Shiwen, Jiang Shiyu, and Yan Zeyu were all shocked. They didn't expect the elder to be so direct and tough.

The three of them looked at each other and were about to leave when Ming Nanjin, holding Xiao Chengcheng, said coldly: "They must stay with me." His voice was firm and resolute, without the slightest hesitation.

The elder stroked his beard and looked at Ming Nanjin with narrowed eyes, and a wave of emotion rose in his heart. They had not expected that Ming Nanjin cared so much about these three people.

"Tell me why?" The elder said with a smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes, making it difficult to guess his true thoughts.
