Chapter 3614: 4.1214 A Settled Matter

"She even abandoned her Mu family surname; why should she be the Family Head?" Mu Jingfeng's face twisted slightly.

Elder Qing's expression was complex. "That's right, and the Crown Princess hasn't been back in Shenzhou for long. To have her shoulder the entire Mu family's future? Wouldn't that be taking it too lightly?"

"The Crown Princess is too young, it's not suitable."

"Indeed, as a royal daughter-in-law, the Crown Princess will have many responsibilities in the future. It wouldn't be good to trouble her with Mu family matters."

All sorts of voices emerged, but every statement was negative towards Qiao Mu succeeding as Family Head.

"Of course, the Family Head's decisions over the years have also caused considerable damage to the family's interests. Especially regarding the attitude towards the Long family, there were mistakes. Old Family Head, you can choose another suitable disciple to inherit the position of Family Head."

"Oh? Elder Fu, who do you think is suitable to inherit this position of Family Head?" Mu Cang looked at the elder who had just spoken so presumptuously, asking with a cold gaze.

"I think Jingxing is quite suitable." As these words were spoken, Mu Jingxing immediately bowed to the elder who nominated him, unable to suppress a smile. He humbly declined, "Elder Fu praises too much. In terms of seniority, Jingxing might not be enough, and Jingxing certainly has no intention of stealing Big Brother's thunder."

After speaking, he bowed again to Mu Jingfeng, who had a grim expression, looking utterly smooth.

Mu Cang snorted, then suddenly slammed his hand on the table. "Silence!"

"Jingxing, you are indeed not qualified to be the next Family Head." The Old Master's single sentence instantly made Mu Jingxing's face turn ashen.

He understood his father very well.

Since his father had completely dismissed him with a single sentence, it meant that he had absolutely no hope for the position of Family Head.

However...

To have to respectfully address this young girl, Qiao Mu, as Family Head from now on, was something he found incredibly difficult to accept!

Thinking of this, Mu Jingxing said with a strained expression, "Father, although Old Ancestor Chaoyang personally nominated Qiao Mu for this position, however!"

"It's clear that this child is still young, lacking experience, and unsuitable in all aspects to be the Family Head of our Mu family."

"I agree with Jingxing's statement."

"I agree too."

Mu Jingfeng saw that the entire family held opposing views, and his face, which had been as dark as a black pot's bottom, finally looked a little better.

As long as everyone unanimously opposed it and there were no other suitable candidates in the family, then for now, the position of Family Head wouldn't change.

This kid Mu Jingxing had grown arrogant in recent years and was starting to have special ideas. It seemed it was time to show him who's boss.

Lest he think he could surpass his elder brother and always get the upper hand.

Thinking this, Mu Jingfeng's gaze darkened even more when he looked at his second brother.

However, the very next second, his expression drastically changed.

He heard Old Master Mu Cang say in a deep voice, "I gathered you all here not to solicit any of your opinions, but to inform you that regarding the position of Family Head, I will strictly adhere to the Old Ancestor's wishes. Jingfeng will abdicate and yield the position to Qiao Qiao. You only need to understand this point."

Although the Old Master's voice was extremely calm, the unchallengeable firmness in his tone was powerful and instantly silenced everyone.

Qiao Mu blinked. As the person concerned, she was also somewhat bewildered at this moment.

Family Head?

Her?
