"Old Seventeen, what do you think the second master and the eldest son will do when they receive the mourning letter..." Lin Xuhong asked.

"The second master is stuck in Dongyang, so he will probably send the fourth or sixth son here to observe his filial piety. I don't know about the eldest master." Lin Fu said vaguely.

If Lin Fu takes a big step back, the struggle for power in the Lin family will not be transferred to him, Lin Tingli, Lin Xuwen and others.

According to the regulations of this dynasty, the young master Lin Xuxi, who is the designated heir, is still young. In addition to Lin Tingli and Lin Xuwen, those who can participate in the decision-making of Lin family affairs include Lin Tingxun's third wife and the sixth wife Shan, the biological mother of the young master Lin Xuxi.

, one is Mr. Sun Lin Zhaoyi’s biological mother, Mrs. Ma; obviously, the third wife, the sixth wife and Mrs. Ma are all women and cannot really show up to take charge. Even if Lin Tingli and Lin Xuwen cannot come in person, they will appoint agents.

To participate in the affairs here, the previous leaders of the Lin family, including the three elders, Lin Xuhong, Lin Zonghai, and the seventh wife Gu Yingxiu, will be marginalized.

Lin Xuhong came to Lin Futou at this time, of course he didn't want to be marginalized.

"By the way, Uncle Mengde just told the three clan elders and me that he would let us take care of Jiangning's affairs. Since all the members of the family are in Jiangning, it would be unreasonable for him to continue to take Jiangning's affairs into his own hands.

It's not appropriate," Lin Xuhong said, "It's just that even if the second master and the eldest son send someone over, they won't be able to arrive for a while. No one can make an accurate decision on everything here, so we can't just let it be a mess, right?"

"Second Master, hurry over there. Send someone across the river to report the news. We will hear back in three more days," Lin Fu said. "Let the Second Master make up his mind first. When the eldest son comes in person or sends someone to come, we can all come together."

Even if we discuss it, nothing will be delayed. You live at the mouth of the river, and although the conditions are difficult, you don't have to worry about anything else."

Lin Fu was sure that Lin Tingli would not be able to escape and come to Jiangning. His arrangement only required two things: first, Lin Tingli would leave Lin Zonghai in Dongyang and send one of his two sons to come over; second, Lin Xuwen would remain in Dongyang for the time being.

Yanjing.
