The Second Elder had been busy strategizing how to counter Yun Yao’s use of Sufeng’s death as a pretext for an attack, but he never expected her to switch topics in the next breath!
What could be the reason for letting Bu Lanying hold the Head of Family Token? It was simply to ensure the Su Family remained firmly under the control of the Elders Hall! However, without a suitable excuse, this woman would not let the matter rest. After careful consideration, the Second Elder spoke with a grave expression.
"The previous Head of Family died suddenly. We couldn't choose a successor until the three-year mourning period had passed, and by then, Su Weiwen was so distraught over Xiao Yun’s death that we shelved the idea of pushing for a new head," the Second Elder explained. "Oh, and there was Sufeng, but he was too obsessed with worldly pleasures to take on such a heavy responsibility. As for Su Yuchen, he was too young and lacked the qualifications. During this time, Bu Lanying has been managing the Head of Family Token; she has been steady and prudent, and we felt she was someone we could entrust with it."
