Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

As for Teng Sen, although they didn't set any signal, according to the time, they should have rescued the people. After all, at this time, he had been taken to the front hall of the Teng family. All the elders of the Teng family who were still able to move were invited out, and a group of people surrounded him as if he were a monster.

"Is this really Tenson?"

"He's grown so big! He was just a child when he left!"

Teng Sen looked at the old guys pretending to cry and couldn't help but smile. He was already in his early twenties when he left, how could he still be a child. But... Teng Sen tilted his head to look at Teng Qiao, and sure enough, his face became uglier and uglier as the elders "wailed".

After all, he was taught by the Teng family. Even though he has been the young master of the Teng family for so many years, he is still not satisfied.

"Okay, stop arguing~"

As soon as Teng Sen finished speaking, the room fell silent. It had to be said that in terms of momentum, Teng Qiao really couldn't compare with Teng Sen. Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't dare to speak since he was sitting next to Teng Sen.

"Teng Sen~ Oh no, you should call me Young Master. The position of Young Master of the Teng Family originally belonged to you. If you hadn't insisted on leaving to venture into Tai'an alone, the Teng Family wouldn't be here now..."

The Third Elder was about to say something when the Second Elder stopped him and signaled him not to say anything. The Third Elder was interrupted for a moment and then he remembered that Teng Qiao was still there. He glanced at Teng Qiao with a guilty conscience and found that he was not looking at him, so he felt relieved.

"The old patriarch died of illness last year, and the young master has been in charge of the Teng family for the past year."

"Including pushing a saint who has not been baptized in the Saint's Temple?"

Teng Sen's words left the elders speechless. Some lowered their heads, while others looked at Teng Qiao with a slight anger on their faces.

Seeing them like this, Teng Sen knew that they must have been caught in a weak spot and that was why they were so angry but dared not speak out.

"Brother~"

Teng Qiao, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"You haven't been home for a long time, so you probably don't know much about the situation in Miaojiang. As the eldest son, you should have married the Miaojiang Saint, but you sneaked out of the Teng family for your own selfish desires, causing your father to fall ill. Naturally, the responsibility of the head of the family and the order of marriage fell on me.

Two years ago, the last Saint suddenly fled for some unknown reason. This man can be picked out of the Teng family at random, but it is not so easy to train a Saint. There are also many people from Miaojiang who come to seek treatment. In order to prevent the Saint from escaping, I can only find someone to replace her.

The discarded ones in the Saint Maiden Hall were disposed of, and the new Saint Maiden candidates are still too young, so I had to find someone from the folks who is good at the art of medicine, who can at least treat some diseases. "

Teng Sen spoke so earnestly that it sounded as if others had wronged him. One of the elders could not help but complain to Teng Sen.

"Young Master, you don't know that although that woman has some abilities, Master Teng Qiao kept her here mostly for his own selfish desires. He wanted that woman to marry him as a saint!"

"Oh? Is that so?"

Teng Sen looked at Teng Qiao in surprise.

"I'm going to marry the Saint eventually, so why can't I marry someone I like?"

"That makes sense~"

Teng Sen looked at the elder on the other side again.

"But! There have always been certain choices for the Saint. In the past, it was a bloodline inheritance, but now that the bloodline is gone, we must be extremely cautious about their abilities. How can we just pick anyone to be the Saint?"

"Has her ability been tested?"

Teng Sen asked Teng Qiao.

"Her abilities are naturally not bad. Although not outstanding, it will be difficult to find a suitable candidate for the time being! When the next Saint reaches the age, this position will naturally be handed over!"

Teng Qiao's face was a little dark. These elders relied on Teng Sen's return and thought that someone was backing them up, but Teng Sen had been away from the Teng family for so many years, and even if he came back now, he would never give up the position of the head of the family to him!

Teng Qiao secretly clenched his fists and seemed to have an idea in his mind.

"Okay~ These things are not important. We are all family. As long as it does not affect the interests of the family, other small things can be tolerated."

Teng Sen smiled, seemingly trying to help them reconcile, but in fact, he didn't want to get involved in these matters. However, it was obvious that the elders of the Teng family still respected him, but even so, he made the waters of the Teng family even more muddy.

Teng Sen turned his head and looked at Teng Qiao.

"You've worked hard this year, but now that I'm back, you can relax a little. Oh, and by the way, you'll have to find the token of the head of the family soon. I'll go to the funeral hall to apologize to my father, and I'm also going to swear in front of my father's tablet that I will take on the responsibility of the head of the family in the future."

"elder brother?"

Teng Qiao was stunned, and so were the elders present. No one had expected that Teng Sen would be so eager to take over the power of the family after just returning. However, this was exactly what the elders wanted. After all, Teng Sen had been away for many years and had no power in the mansion. If they supported Teng Sen to take the position, then the Teng family would be decided by the elders. Teng Qiao grew up in the mansion, and many elders in the mansion listened to him. Every time a decision was made, the two sides would compete secretly.

Several elders glanced at each other, and then one of the older elders spoke.

"Young Master, what you said makes sense. You should be the head of the family, regardless of whether you are the eldest son or the heir. However, the Second Young Master has been fulfilling the responsibilities of the head of the family for more than a year. He has been in charge of all matters in the mansion, from the financial accounts to the purchase of servants. Therefore, many matters in the mansion may need to be sorted out by the Second Young Master before they can be handed over to you. It is better to give the Second Princess one night to sort them out, and then give you the head of the family token tomorrow."

The elder's words seemed to be meant to help the Second Young Master out of trouble. There was no difference between asking him to hand over the family head token on the second day and on the first day.

Teng Qiao secretly squeezed his thighs to control his expression.

"Okay, since Big Brother and the elders have said so, as the Second Young Master, I will obey."

Teng Qiao stood up after saying this.

"I will go back and sort out the account books and send them to your room tomorrow. Oh, by the way! You have not been home for a long time, so your original room must have been in disarray. Why don't you live in the west wing today and don't ask the servants to tidy it up later."

"How can this be possible? The west wing is for guests to stay in. This..."

Some of the elders disagreed, but were interrupted by Teng Sen.

"It's okay, let's arrange it this way~"

Teng Sen certainly didn't care about that. But Teng Qiao was busy all night making fake accounts, and the elders were busy selecting gifts and sending people to monitor Teng Qiao's movements. They were so busy that they had a lot of fun.

The next morning, when everyone was waiting for Teng Sen to get up for breakfast with dark circles under their eyes, a servant came to report.

"The eldest master...ran away again!"
