Chapter 198: Entrusting the Orphan

Hearing the Old Matriarch's words, I nodded sadly and said: "Rest assured, I will treat Xiaohuan like my own younger sister!"

The Old Matriarch Zheng weakly took Xiaohuan's hand, placed it on mine, and continued: "Xiaohuan, you must remember, although these are all your relatives in the Zheng family, no one can be relied upon. From now on, you must listen to your Brother Yang Yun!"

"Mm, mm, I will definitely listen, definitely listen, Grandmother, you will definitely be fine!" Xiaohuan said to the Old Matriarch Zheng while crying.

The Old Matriarch Zheng then continued to say to me: "Yang Yun, I don't ask anything else of you. I only ask that you must preserve the Zheng family's face. No matter what anyone in the Zheng family does, I beg you not to expose it. My unfilial sons will definitely not accept my will, but after all, they are also members of the Zheng family, so I request that you must spare their lives. You must never take their lives!"

I looked at the situation outside and sighed powerlessly. The current situation of the Zheng family is indeed worrying. From the people at the door, it can be seen that these people are determined not to let Xiaohuan inherit the Zheng family's business. The uncles and aunts at the door are now staring at the door, and there are quite a few people at the door. It is clear that they want to take action. To be honest, although I have some strength, facing the entire Zheng family, I have no way at all now.

The Old Matriarch Zheng saw my worry and continued: "You don't need to worry about the Zheng family's affairs. The entire Zheng family is not all people of the eldest and second. I also have some confidants. Later, they will listen to your and Xiaohuan's orders. These people are trustworthy and will help you!"

Hearing this, I felt much more relieved. After all, I have no power here. Fighting against these people in the Zheng family, I simply can't win. If I say I'll take Xiaohuan away, it's possible, but if I say I'll protect Xiaohuan to become the head of the Zheng family, without the Old Matriarch Zheng's help, it's simply impossible to do.

Immediately after, the Old Matriarch Zheng said to me: "There are some things I want to say to Xiaohuan alone!"

Hearing this, I understood and immediately left the ward and came outside. Outside the ward were still that group of people from the Zheng family. Seeing me come out, their eyes were fixed on me. I knew they must be eager to know what the Old Matriarch had said to me, but hindered by so many people, and the Old Matriarch still inside, they didn't start asking immediately.

The Old Matriarch Zheng looked at Xiaohuan and cried unbearably: "Xiaohuan, you have lived a hard life since you were young. I know you are still a bit unaccustomed to coming to the Zheng family until now, but despite this, the Zheng family is still your home. Although the Zheng family's business is not much, it is not little. After you inherit it, someone will naturally help you, and you have Yang Yun beside you to help you, so I can naturally rest assured. As for Yang Yun, I know you like him, but there's no way. He already has an engagement, and the other party is a very terrifying family, so Xiaohuan, if it doesn't work, just give up!"

"No, I don't want to. In this life, I will only marry Brother Yang Yun, I don't care!" Xiaohuan shouted while crying.

Hearing Xiaohuan's crying, the Old Matriarch sighed helplessly and said: "Sigh, then Grandmother supports you. Women must fight for their own happiness. It's not certain that our Xiaohuan is worse than others. Moreover, men having three wives and four concubines is a common thing. As long as you don't mind, and your Brother Yang Yun doesn't mind, it's fine!"

Xiaohuan heard the Old Matriarch's words, her expression was a bit disappointed, then she raised her head and gritted her teeth and said: "I don't care about these, as long as Brother Yang Yun can be with me, it's fine!"

Seeing her granddaughter say this, the Old Matriarch Zheng was very helpless. Although she had long expected this result, she still found it difficult to accept in her heart. After all, she only had this one precious granddaughter, and the others were all coveting her property.

"Xiaohuan, let me tell you a secret!" The Old Matriarch Zheng was unusually serious at this moment.

And I was outside the ward, standing at the door, because the ward was soundproof, I couldn't hear what was being said inside at all.

However, Zheng Hong, Zheng Han, and Zheng Yun at the door were all staring at me. Zheng Yun was the one who had the earliest contact with me, and even the name I use in school now is Zheng Yun. I know these three people in front of me all want to talk to me, but they are hesitant.

Sure enough, someone couldn't help it first. Zheng Hong pulled me aside and whispered to me: "Little Brother Yang Yun, let's talk somewhere else!"

However, seeing Zheng Hong do this, the other two were certainly not convinced, especially Zheng Han, because the one most capable of competing with Zheng Hong in the Zheng family was this Zheng Han. Zheng Han grabbed Zheng Han and said: "Big Brother, why are you doing this? Is there anything that can't be said in front of everyone?"

Hearing Zheng Han's words, Zheng Hong's face was ugly and he scolded Zheng Han: "What? Who doesn't have a little privacy? What does it have to do with you where we want to talk?"

As for Zheng Yun, he still had a Buddhist attitude and didn't care about this situation at all. Perhaps the only one in the Zheng family who wouldn't pose a threat to Xiaohuan was this Zheng Yun.

I looked at the two people in front of me at loggerheads and hurriedly said to them: "I know what you want to ask. I just want to say, actually, the Old Matriarch didn't say anything when she went in just now, she just specifically told me to take care of Xiaohuan, after all, this girl has had a hard life since she was young!"

Hearing my words, Zheng Hong smiled and said: "Xiaohuan, we will definitely take care of her, after all, this girl is also our niece!"

Zheng Han on the side also agreed. Seeing the replies of these two, I smiled disdainfully in my heart. They are all smiling tigers. Now they say niece, but later I don't know what they will say.

Just at this moment, a very loud crying sound came from inside from Xiaohuan. I knew the Old Matriarch was mostly failing. I and these uncles and aunts of the Zheng family hurriedly rushed in. When we went in, we found that the Old Matriarch had already stopped breathing, leaving only Xiaohuan crying desperately.

Zheng Han, Zheng Hong, and Zheng Yun saw this scene and all cried and knelt on the ground shouting: "Mom, Mom!"

I stood on the side, looking at the deceased Old Matriarch Zheng, feeling very uncomfortable in my heart. The pillar of the Zheng family had fallen, and the storm that might follow the Zheng family might also come.

Just at this moment, a professional man wearing a suit holding a document entered the room, looked at everyone, and began to say: "Next, I will announce the Old Matriarch Zheng's will, regarding the distribution of family property!"

Hearing this, everyone was nervously looking at the person in front of them. ===== CHAPTER 199 =====
