Chapter: 3444
In the middle of the spacious and luxurious main hall, a fan-shaped arrangement of multiple yellow sandalwood chairs had been set up according to ancestral traditions.
In the center of the fan-shaped arrangement, Old Master's seat was situated, with dozens of chairs on both sides.
These were the seats for Ye Family's direct lineage members.
Around the perimeter of the fan-shaped arrangement, hundreds of simple folding chairs were neatly arranged, which were reserved for outsiders.
Leaf Qing pulled Leaf Chen to the front of the main seat and pointed directly at the position next to him, saying to Leaf Chen, "Chen, if your father were alive, this spot would be his. Now that he's gone, you've returned to Ye Family, so this spot naturally belongs to you!"
Leaf Qing directly had Leaf Chen sit down next to him, which immediately shocked everyone.
Because of the rules, outsiders would come to pay their respects soon, with Old Master sitting in the center, the eldest son sitting at the left bottom corner, and the second son sitting at the right bottom corner. The sons' generation sat on both sides before passing it on to the grandsons' generation.
After the grandsons' generation had sat down, daughters and granddaughters took turns sitting next to them on the outside.
As for great-grandchildren and great-grandniece from outside the family, they were not allowed to participate, so Ye Changmin's husband and children didn't come.
Since Leaf Changning, the younger brother, had passed away, according to old customs, Leaf Changyun should take his place in accordance with the rules.
Twelve years ago at the previous ancestral worship ceremony, Leaf Changyun indeed took Leaf Changning's place.
But this time, Ye Zhongquan didn't give Ye Changyun a chance.
Ye Changkong felt that his father was too biased towards Ye Chen and couldn't help but speak up: "Dad, Chen just got back. You're fond of him, I understand, but these rules can't be changed at will. Longwen is gone, so this position should go to Changyun, and Chen should sit together with his uncle Xiaofeng."
Ye Changyun's heart felt slightly more at ease.
Watching Chen take over his position, he felt extremely displeased.
But he couldn't dare open his mouth to argue with his father, fortunately, his older brother stood up to speak for him.
Ye Zhongquan dismissed Ye Changkong's words with a snort and said calmly: "Rules are made by humans! I'm the patriarch of the Ye family. If I say how things should be arranged, that's how they'll be arranged."
He then looked at Chen and said confidently: "Chen, you just sit down here!"
Of course, Chen had no objection.
Right now, he not only wants to sit next to his grandfather, but in a short while, he will take over his grandfather's position and sit in the main seat.
So, today, I'll offend my uncle and third uncle, but it's just a small appetizer.
One day, I'll make all the Ye family members bow down and apologize to me.
However, he didn't care; after all, one must bear the weight to wear the crown.
I want the Ye family to surrender, so I need to offend them all thoroughly first.
Then, I'll govern their foul temper, one by one, until they're well-behaved. JrNovels.com
