Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heires

Si yiyan nodded and said, " even so, the Qin family has always been overbearing. He didn't dare to act brazenly out of consideration for the seven families. Instead, he resorted to underhanded means. However, his connections and channels are limited, and his methods and plans are restricted. This gave the SI family a chance to deal with him and take a breather. &Quot;

&Quot; after all, the SI family has been rooted in yundian for hundreds of years. Their Foundation is even deeper than the Qin family's. It's not easy to gnaw on this bone. The two sides have been fighting for many years and both sides have lost their strength. But in general, the SI family has suffered more losses. &Quot;

The SI clan had been passed down for hundreds of years, and each bloodline had only one heir, so they had very few children.

Having a thin lineage also had its advantages. A line of inheritance, with the dedicated guidance of the elders, could not be too bad. It was the foundation of the family.

Having a large number of children also had its benefits. After all, the prosperity of a family depended on its branches and leaves. However, the huge interests behind the seven families and ten families were too tempting. With a large number of children, it was easy to have the desire to fight. This was the sign of chaos in the family. If the children fought with each other, it was easy to consume the strength of the family, causing the foundation of the family to be unstable.

The seven surnames and ten families had changed their strength and surnames over the past hundred years. Even the Qin family was an exception. However, the SI family was the only family that had been rooted in yundian for hundreds of years and had not fallen.

This was also the reason why no one dared to provoke the SI clan even though it didn't have a prominent ranking among the seven surnames and ten families in the past. How could it be easy to deal with a Foundation that had been established for hundreds of years?

Wen Xinya seemed to have understood a little. &Quot; &Quot; the Qin clan and the SI clan fought and were at a stalemate, which consumed the strength of the Qin clan. At the same time, it also gave you the opportunity to grow. After you grew up, you launched a fierce counterattack against the Qin clan. That was how you suppressed the Qin clan and took control of the power of the seven surnames and ten families. &Quot;

Back then, before her father-in-law passed away, he arranged for his subordinates to send si yiyan to the capital city to seek protection from her grandfather. Apart from preventing the Xiasi group from falling apart, the most important reason was to guard against the seven families and ten families. After all, the seven families and ten families had eyes and ears everywhere in the world. The only one who could truly protect si yiyan was her grandfather, who had a slight influence in the seven families and ten families.

As expected of a family with an ancient heritage.

Even if her eunuch's heart was like dead ashes and he had the will to die, his thoughts were still so meticulous.

"That's right!" Si yiyan nodded.

Yundian was the foundation of the SI clan. Since the Qin clan intended to destroy the foundation that had been passed down for hundreds of years and take over the SI clan, of course, he had to teach them a lesson.

Wen Xinya continued. &Quot; among the seven families and ten families, how's the relationship between the SI and Wei families? " she asked.

Although this Wei San had schemed against them before, he had more or less kept some size. Although she was annoyed, she did not hate him.

Si yiyan smiled strangely and said, " "What do you think?"

Wen Xinya thought for a while and said, " third Wei is a cunning and shrewd man. He's also very calculative. He'll be more cautious and thorough if he's too calculative. I'm guessing that the Wei family is doing things in a moderate way. &Quot;

​ &Quot; on words: mediocrity ": " the Doctrine of the Mean is virtue, and it is the ultimate. &Quot;

The Doctrine of the Mean referred to an impartial and neutral attitude. This was the essence of how the Confucians conducted themselves.

However, Wen Xinya did not comment on Wei san's character.

However, this third Wei had too many thoughts and too deep of a scheme. He was far from the word 'virtue'. But even so, the Wei clan's hundreds of years of inheritance was placed here, so it must have some outstanding aspects.

Si yiyan laughed and said, " you're right. This is indeed the Wei family's way of doing things. The Wei family isn't very powerful among the seven families and ten families. However, they're the family with the longest history and the most profound heritage apart from the SI family. That's why Duke Qin was willing to give the Wei family some face no matter how angry he was. &Quot;

The Wei family and the SI family had a moderate relationship, and they did things in a fair and peaceful way. Although they had many schemes, they kept their limits and never really violated anyone's interests.

Wen Xinya was suddenly enlightened and said, " &Quot; I thought the Qin family was already the most powerful family among the seven surnames and ten families. Now it seems that the Wei family is the one who is truly hiding their true colors. Although this third Wei is lacking in maturity in his conduct, when he came out to mediate the dispute between you and the Duke of Qin, he was quite impartial. It is indeed rare to find a compromise in the world. &Quot;

Si yiyan agreed.

At this time, the auction on the stage was already nearing its end, and the items being auctioned were also getting better and better. The originally uninterested crowd also had some thoughts of fighting for it, and the bidding below was still considered hot.

At this time, the auction on the stage was a gauze dress with gold and Jade. The entire gauze dress was woven with extremely rare golden silk from the Western regions of the Tang Dynasty. It was inlaid with gold and Jade, and it was extremely beautiful.

&Quot; this is the legendary jade burial suit! &Quot; someone exclaimed. &Quot; Lai Yi Pavilion really has eyes and hands everywhere! &Quot;

Si yiyan could not help but be interested.

Wen Xinya glanced at it calmly. &Quot; the clothes are pretty, but they're not very useful. They're just decorations. &Quot;

It wasn't as if she didn't have any clothes made of golden silk.

She had a black qipao with a Phoenix embroidered on it. The Nine-Tailed Phoenix on the entire qipao was embroidered with gold silk. It was beautiful and exquisite. Because it was too expensive, she did not dare to wear it outside.

Indeed, after she said that, si yiyan lost his interest and casually asked, " &Quot; the following items are all pretty good. Don't you plan to bid for a few more? "

Wen Xinya shook her head and said, " forget it! It's already a pleasant surprise to be able to obtain the violet Jade and the thousand year old wild ginseng." She then winked at si yiyan and said with a mischievous smile, " &Quot; if this continues, Wei San will probably cry. It's better not to attract too much jealousy and hatred. &Quot;

Wei san's previous promise did not limit the number of items to be auctioned.

Wei san's words earlier were obviously meant to get her to bid for more items. The higher the value, the more benefits he would get from si yiyan.

Now, these words had turned into a trap.

Fortunately, Wen Xinya knew her limits and knew when to stop. If they had really encountered a greedy person, the Wei family would probably have lost all their capital.

Si yiyan pinched the tip of her nose gently and said, " "It's narrow again, isn't it!"

If he really didn't want the Wei clan to lose everything, he could just pay for the next auction items according to the auction value. These words were clearly a joke.

Wen Xinya retorted. &Quot; how am I being mean? I'm clearly being kind. &Quot;

Si yiyan smiled without saying a word.

Indeed, Wen Xinya couldn't hold it in any longer. She couldn't help but join in the bidding.

Meanwhile, in the private room opposite Wen Xinya's, Wei san's heart would tremble every time he heard Wen Xinya bid.
