The three idiot cat musketeers—oh no, I mean her three uncles—soon arrived in front of her.

Yi Yi bowed slightly to them, but was met with a sarcastic remark from her fourth uncle: "We cannot accept such courtesy from the head of the family. Please rise quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Yi nodded slightly, and then stood with her hands behind her back. Despite her young age, she stood there like a tall pine tree, because she was standing on the steps of the ancestral hall, even a head taller than the people below.

The three uncles were surprised that she would actually disregard all manners of seniority. Their eyes widened immediately, and they were ready to make things difficult for her and embarrass her. However, their plans to prevent her from getting up when she bowed were completely useless.

Just then, Yi Yi preemptively said, "Uncles are right. In terms of seniority, I am now the head of the Zhu family, and it is you uncles who should pay your respects to me first."

After all that, the second uncle was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot and his face turned ashen. For a moment, it was hard to tell whether it was his face that was black or his clothes that were black.

He trembled as he extended a finger, pointing directly at Yi Yi and stammering "you you you" for a long time without making any sense.

Yi Yi gently reached out and brushed away the finger pointing at her nose, then said, "However, having studied abroad for a few years, I don't think this little bit of etiquette is very important, so I won't blame the three uncles for their disrespect."

Seeing that her third uncle seemed to want to say something, Yi Yi, determined not to give up the preemptive right to speak, made a decisive move. Her slightly smiling face turned serious as she said, "But what is the purpose of you uncles dressing so flamboyantly during the mourning period for my father and your elder brothers?"

In short, he finally pointed out the biggest problem with the three of them.

The three of them never expected that their attempt to dress up nicely for the banquet would actually help them make more good connections.

After learning that his nephew had already announced his succession as the head of the family in front of everyone, he was so angry that he wanted to settle accounts with him immediately.

His slight slip-up, made in the heat of the moment, was caught red-handed by his nephew.

Perhaps it wasn't that he was too angry to think things through, but rather that he was just taking advantage of his status as an elder, thinking that his nephew, who rarely showed his face in public, wouldn't dare to make things difficult for him, so he didn't care at all.

When they heard that the eldest son of the family had come to the ancestral hall, they brought their own people over without thinking twice.

But now...

Looking at the old man standing next to his nephew, he knew that he was actually a distant uncle of the Zhu family. Although he did not have real power in the Zhu family and usually acted like a servant guarding the ancestral hall, he was indeed the most senior person in the Zhu family and had a certain amount of influence.

Seeing that her uncle's expression turned serious, seemingly prompted by Yi Yi's words, he noticed that his three uncles' attire was inappropriate.

Third Uncle swallowed hard, and taking advantage of Yi Yi's moment of silence, he seized the opportunity to accuse her first: "Our attire is indeed inappropriate, but there are many important people at the banquet. We were just afraid that our mourning clothes would offend them, and we were also thinking about the reputation of our Zhu family. Nephew, aren't you making a mountain out of a molehill?"

Fourth Uncle immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, to be honest, it was because we learned at the banquet that you, my dear nephew, had taken over as the head of the Zhu family without consulting us elders at all. In our haste, we forgot to change back into mourning clothes when we returned to the ancestral hall. After you explained the situation to us, we punished ourselves by keeping vigil for seven days for our brother and sister-in-law and copying Buddhist scriptures every day to help them pass on to the afterlife."

“That’s right, you should explain to your uncles first. Why did you take over without consulting the family?” Second Uncle chimed in.

The three silly cats, one after another, managed to steal the spotlight and try to label Yi Yi as disloyal and unfilial.

Will Yi Yi allow this crime to be firmly pinned on her head?

Of course it won’t!

Because "Horse Line" involves a lot of family feuds and power struggles, Yi Yi is very familiar with the Zhu family's situation.

Her grandfather had already passed away before the original owner of this body was born.

The grandmother, who was left behind as the person in charge, also passed away unexpectedly when he was young.

As the eldest son, the original owner's family naturally inherited the family business. However, due to the hidden will, the original owner's family was in an awkward situation, which also made the three uncles eye the family business covetously.

The original owner's father established his position by following the traditional system of seniority and illegitimate children, which naturally made the family's atmosphere somewhat rigid and feudal.

But now, her father's methods don't quite work for Yi Yi.

Considering that Liang's storyline involves almost no domestic power struggles and the female lead has never worried about family matters, Yi Yi is determined to handle everything properly today so that these troublemakers won't affect the main plot.

Taking a deep breath, Yi Yi ignored the three musketeers' attempt to intimidate her by using their status as uncles, and calmly said, "In terms of seniority, I am the eldest son of the eldest branch. In terms of talent, I started managing the family business with my parents when I was twelve. We have managed the family's internal and external affairs in an orderly manner. In terms of the current situation, my parents have passed away unexpectedly, but the Zhu family cannot be without a leader for a day. At such a critical juncture, is there any problem with me, the young master of the Zhu family, taking over the position of family head?"

Every rule and regulation is reasonable and justifiable.

The advantage is in my hands. If those three idiots still want to cause trouble, they can only repeat things like "there are still several uncles above them" and "the succession was too hasty without discussion."

Sure enough, faced with Yi Yi's question, the three idiots' arrogance immediately subsided.

Women had already rushed over to see what was going on. Seeing that the situation was settled, the second aunt stepped forward to offer a way out for both sides, saying, "Master, the young master's ascension to the throne was indeed hasty, but what he said is also true. I think we can follow the family's etiquette to complete the succession ceremony later."

But my second uncle was clearly still angry; his usually dignified face was now ashen with rage.

He shoved aside his wife, who was trying to play the good guy to avoid incurring Yi Yi's wrath in the future, and said fiercely, "Get out of the way! We men are talking, what right do you, a clueless woman, have to interrupt?!"

Seeing this, Yi Yi frowned and instructed the maid beside her to quickly help her second aunt, who was about to fall down from the push.

Although I knew the historical context, I was still genuinely angry to see this situation.

She spoke with displeasure: "I know Second Uncle is in a bad mood today, but isn't it inappropriate for Second Uncle to discipline Second Aunt in such a public manner? And Second Aunt's words make sense, so why are you so resistant, Second Uncle?"

Upon hearing this, the second uncle raised his eyebrows and roared angrily, "You brat, you still have me in front of you! How dare you overstep your bounds and act as the head of the family?!"

In the end, he still revealed his true intentions, and his ugly face was so obvious that if Yi Yi didn't know that the first couple had indeed died in an accident, she would have thought that he had been involved in this matter.

But one thing is certain—

The original owner's second uncle had been eagerly awaiting his elder brother's death for a long time.
