"Fine, since there is an imperial decree, we will not make things difficult for you."

In the end, the elders of the Jiang family finally reached a consensus.

Therefore, they sent Jiang's third uncle to Xu Leyao to speak.

There was nothing they could do; they simply disliked Xu Leyao's unruly and arrogant attitude.

Xu Leyao looked up, her eyes filled with a hint of doubt as she gazed at Jiang's third uncle.

Seeing her like this, Uncle Jiang couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

If he hadn't witnessed Xu Leyao's fickleness firsthand, he probably would have thought she was easy to manipulate by now.

Uncle Jiang cleared his throat before continuing.

“Jiang Yuwei, although you can be included in the Jiang family genealogy, it is only because of the imperial decree. Once you understand this point, we can continue.”

Hearing him engage in this kind of formalism, Xu Leyao felt a little impatient, but she still nodded and reluctantly cooperated with him.

"Please speak, Third Uncle."

"You will be included in the Jiang family genealogy, but you will not be allowed to enter the Jiang family ancestral hall in the future."

At this point, Uncle Jiang's expression turned serious.

“You are just a girl after all. If you enter the Jiang family’s ancestral hall like this, you will inevitably become a laughing stock.”

The third uncle of the Jiang family believed that their request was not excessive.

After all, it was already quite remarkable that Xu Leyao was able to be included in the Jiang family genealogy as a daughter.

However, to her surprise, Xu Leyao's expression instantly turned cold.

Xu Leyao sneered and refused outright.

“I have been included in the family genealogy, and after a hundred years, I will naturally be eligible to be enshrined in the Jiang family ancestral hall.”

As she spoke, she glanced at Uncle Jiang's third uncle.

"If I'm not allowed to enter, does that mean that anyone who's registered in the family genealogy is forbidden from entering the Jiang family ancestral hall?"

Hearing Xu Leyao's eloquent words, the third uncle of the Jiang family's face instantly turned ugly.

Logically speaking, Xu Leyao should naturally be able to enter the Jiang family ancestral hall.

The mere fact that she was included in the family genealogy had already made the Jiang family a laughingstock among the aristocratic families and common people in the capital.

If we wait until a hundred years later, we can allow her to enter the ancestral hall.

Uncle Jiang could hardly imagine what would happen next.

He shook his head and refused outright and firmly.

“If you disagree, even at the risk of disobeying the imperial decree, we will not agree to include you in the Jiang family genealogy.”

Upon hearing his words, Xu Leyao's face turned cold.

The two locked eyes, neither willing to give in.

Just then, Mr. Jiang wanted to step in and smooth things over, but hesitated after meeting Xu Leyao's gaze.

There was no other reason than that Xu Leyao's gaze just now was so intimidating, it didn't seem like she was his daughter at all.

“If Third Uncle disagrees with the elders of the Jiang family, then there is no room for discussion on this matter.”

After saying that, Xu Leyao turned and left.

Watching her departing figure, Uncle Jiang was so angry he was about to blow his beard and glare.

He had just managed to persuade those stubborn old men in the Jiang family with great difficulty, but now Xu Leyao was embarrassing him like this.

At this moment, Uncle Jiang felt that he had lost all face.

However, Xu Leyao wouldn't care about any of that.

If it weren't for wanting to find a place for Jiang Yuwei to rest in peace, so that her soul could find peace.

Xu Leyao wouldn't waste her time getting entangled with the Jiang family.

Having been a wandering ghost herself, she naturally knew how difficult those days were.

And now, thanks to the original owner of this body, she has the opportunity for revenge.

Based on this alone, they are bound by cause and effect.

Xu Leyao felt she had to repay this debt of karma.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have started planning so early and dealt with the Jiang family for so long.

As Jiang's father watched Xu Leyao's departing figure, he felt somewhat lost and helpless.

Xu Leyao just left him here like that?

"Look at the fine daughter you raised! She won't even agree to something like this. Do you really want the Jiang family to become a laughing stock a hundred years from now?"

The third uncle of the Jiang family directly targeted Jiang's father.

Father Jiang shook his head, his expression complicated.

He gave a wry smile.

"Third Uncle, how could I possibly make such a decision?"

Seeing the bitter smile on Jiang's father's face, Jiang's third uncle couldn't help but sigh.

Ever since he met Xu Leyao last time, he knew that Xu Leyao was not someone to be trifled with.

If that's the case, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult for Jiang's father to raise her.

But if Zheng Zhihe really likes Xu Leyao, would the Jiang family dare to send her into the palace?

He thought about what he had said when he was negotiating with the other clan elders a little while ago.

The third uncle of the Jiang family lowered his voice and leaned close to Jiang's father's ear to ask.

"Are you really going to send her to the palace in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang's father paused for a moment.

According to his previous plan, he did indeed intend to send Xu Leyao into the palace.

After all, Mr. Jiang had personally witnessed how much Zheng Zhihe loved her.

However, Xu Leyao's unruly behavior is truly causing Jiang's father distress.

He certainly didn't want to send in someone who was a troublemaker.

If Xu Leyao brings trouble to the family in the future, who will be able to save them?

Thinking of this, Jiang's father shook his head.

"I no longer have that idea, it's just that Zheng Zhihe's side..."

Before he finished speaking, the third uncle of the Jiang family understood what he meant.

"You mean, that person really wants to bring her into the palace?"

When asked by the third uncle of the Jiang family, Jiang's father nodded.

While other things are uncertain, he is confident about this one thing.

"Alright, alright, I'll talk to those old fogies about this. You should go back and try to persuade her. If she really can't be enshrined in the ancestral hall, it's not a big deal."

Upon hearing these words from Uncle Jiang, Father Jiang immediately clasped his hands in gratitude.

"I will always remember my uncle's help today."

After hearing what Jiang's father said, Jiang's third uncle finally nodded.

“We are related by blood, and you call me Third Uncle. If I don’t help you with these things, who else can?”

Hearing his righteous words, Jiang's father sneered inwardly.

If it weren't for the fact that Uncle Jiang's own nephews and nieces were so disappointing, why would he treat him so well?

In any case, it's all just paving the way for the future of his own descendants.

However, in this particular matter alone, Jiang's father did indeed owe him a debt of gratitude.

For this reason alone, Father Jiang will help him out in the future.

The third uncle of the Jiang family clearly understood these things, which is why he went to great lengths to help Xu Leyao get included in the family genealogy.

"Okay, you go back first."

Uncle Jiang waved his hand.

Mr. Jiang nodded and then took his leave.

After he left, Uncle Jiang then went to the other clan elders and started arguing with them.

Although the process was a bit complicated, the final result was good.
