Chapter 3518: Strict Family Rules (Revised)
ready recovered her own voice. As soon as Qiu Ge and the others heard it, they understood her true identity.Looking at Tie Ruo's male back, Tie An sighed and took a step. As he walked, he swung his sl...Jiang Yun originally wanted to reach out and help Rumei up, but upon hearing Rumei's words, his outstretched palm froze in mid-air, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
What shocked him was not that the dream's name was Jiang Yuting, nor was it the shock that Jiang Yuting addressed him not as "brother" but as the rather formal "elder brother".
What truly shocked him was that Jiang Yuting actually claimed to be a descendant of the Jiang family, the seventh generation in direct lineage!
Any group of people naturally has its first generation of founders, that is, the ancestors.
Although Jiang Yun had forgotten the memories of his first life, in everything he knew about the Jiang family lineage, he had never heard anyone mention his grandfather, his elders, or the origins of the Jiang family.
Not even my own father has ever said that.
Ginger Cloud had also thought about this question, and in the end, she could only think that her grandfather was perhaps not strong enough, or maybe his fame wasn't widely known. It was even possible that he had already passed away, which is why no one mentioned him.
The strength and prestige of the Jiang clan all stem from their own father, who single-handedly established it.
However, at this moment, Jiang Yuting clearly told him that her Jiang family line had not only ancestors but also, passed down to her generation, was already the seventh generation.
Since one's own father is the sixth generation, then those from the ginger clan above the sixth generation, one's grandfather and ancestors, what kind of people are they
"Ginger Cloud!"
Seeing that Jiang Yun was completely stunned, and Jiang Yuting remained in the posture of salutation, Jiang Qiuge couldn't help but speak softly to remind her.
As an outsider, he naturally didn't know the inheritance situation of the Jiang family, so he had no thoughts about the fact that Jiang Yuting was the seventh-generation descendant.
Hearing Ginger Autumn Song's voice, Ginger Cloud only then came to his senses. He hurriedly retracted his palm and instead used his sleeve to wave out a gentle force, supporting Ginger Rain Ting's body and saying, "Sister, no need for formalities!"
Ginger Yuting straightened her body, finally gathering her courage, and looked up at Ginger Yun.
Although she had met Ginger Cloud before, she had only seen Gu Si. This time, she was truly meeting Ginger Cloud for the first time.
When their eyes met, Jiang Yuting's eyes immediately turned red, and mist rose in them.
And Ginger Cloud didn't know what to say for a moment. Instead, Ginger Autumn Song laughed and teased: "Yuting, how did you know that Ginger Cloud is your older brother What if he's just older than you"
Jiang Yuting shook her head solemnly, "In our Jiang family lineage, seniority is not determined by age, but by generational rank."
My great-uncle is the sixth generation's eldest son. Since my elder brother is the great-uncle's son, he is naturally the eldest brother of all seventh generation descendants of the Jiang family!
"Oh!" Jiang Qiuge nodded, a look of interest on her face. "The Jiang clan is indeed interesting. You actually determine seniority based on generation."
Ginger Cloud was taken aback once again.
If one's father is the eldest son, it means that one's father also has siblings.
While the father's reputation was formidable, even if he had brothers, although their strength might not equal that of their father, it wouldn't be much different.
Why has no one ever mentioned Father's brother
Especially when the Jiang clan was facing a great calamity, only their own father stood alone to face it. Where were their father's brothers at that time
Looking at Jiang Yuting, Jiang Yun's mind was truly filled with too many doubts.
Therefore, he couldn't help but stop being polite and finally couldn't hold back, asking: "Yuting, how many brothers does my father have"
After asking the question, Ginger Yun noticed a flicker of hesitation on Ginger Yuting's face, as if she didn't want to answer. But in the end, she still spoke: "The sixth generation of the Ginger clan has three direct descendants. My uncle is the eldest son, my aunt Ginger Qiuyue, and my father, Ginger Qiucheng, is the youngest son!"
Ginger's eyes were a little dazed as she looked at Yuting and said, "So, I have another aunt, and an uncle"
Jiang Yuting nodded lightly and said, "Yes!"
Where are they now
After asking this question, Ginger Cloud suddenly came to a realization.
Since I have never heard anyone mention my uncle and aunt's names.
Furthermore, Qiu Ge also mentioned that Jiang Yu Ting came here alone to find her relatives, so it naturally means that her aunt and uncle must be gone!
To ask Ginger about this would be to bring up her sad past.
However, Jiang Yuting hesitated for a moment before saying, "Brother, I'm sorry, but I can't tell you where my uncle and aunt are!"
Although Ginger Yuting couldn't speak, Ginger Yun's pupils suddenly contracted: "They, are they still alive"
Jiang Yuting nodded again and said, "Of course, it's about living!"
"Ha!"
A wisp of air escaped Jiang Yun's mouth, and he tilted his head back to gaze at the sky.
To be honest, Ginger Yuting's answer, while bringing him joy, also filled him with disappointment.
The joy is, of course, because blood is thicker than water.
Uncle and aunt, both are elders of their own family, and they belong to the same lineage as themselves. Their living is good news.
...But the disappointment stemmed from this: Qiu Ge, someone with no blood relation to the Jiang family, could think of avenging their father and the Jiang family.
But their own uncles and aunts, they probably don't have that idea.
If they are still living well, then over all these years, how could there be no news about them
Jiang Yuting is also a clever and intelligent person. Although Jiang Yun concealed it very well, she saw a trace of disappointment in his eyes. She hurriedly said: "Brother, you misunderstood. Father and Aunt didn't want to find Uncle, but they were also forced by circumstances."
That's why they let me sneak out to look for your and Uncle's whereabouts.
Jiang Yuting didn't explain, and it was fine. But when she did, a sneer appeared in Jiang Yun's eyes: "They let a little girl like you secretly come out to find us"
"What a life out of one's own control!"
Upon hearing Jiang Yun's words, Jiang Yuting's anxious expression deepened. She opened her mouth several times, as if she wanted to explain something to her father and aunt, but the words died in her throat.
At this time, Ginger Autumn Song couldn't help but transmit a voice to Ginger Cloud: "Ginger Cloud, Rain Ting and I have also chatted a few times."
Although we haven't spoken much, Yu Ting has never casually revealed anything about your Jiang family lineage to me.
I can tell she doesn't want to say it, but she's afraid to.
Also, haven't you noticed that Yuting has always called you "brother"
"I'm from a small family. In our family, we call anyone older than us within the same generation "brother." No one has ever called someone "elder brother"!
"As for the title 'elder brother,' it's far too formal. From this, I can see that your Jiang family rules are quite strict. So, Yuting must have her reasons."
"Strict house rules"
Jiang Yun let out a cold snort.
As a descendant of the Jiang clan, he had no right to evaluate the rules of his own family. However, thinking that his line of the Jiang clan was now practically nonexistent, and Yu Ting was still clinging to such strict family rules, it was truly ironic.
However, he also knew that his attitude was not quite right.
He could see that Yuting truly treated him like an older brother and was genuinely alone in coming to find him. For that reason, he shouldn't make things difficult for her.
Therefore, Ginger Cloud's face regained its smile and said, "Yuting, I meant nothing else, just some sentiment."
No matter what, the uncle and aunt are still alive, that's great news.
Jiang Yuting also squeezed a smile from her face and said, "Yes, they'll be so happy to know that their elder brother is still alive."
Speaking of which, a hint of hesitation flashed across Jiang Yuting's face again. She changed the subject and said: "Brother, this is our first time meeting. Can you tell me about these years Where have you been, and how have you been"o be discovered by someone with malicious intent, they would follow the clues and eventually trace it back to themselves. At that point, they would have no way to explain themselves.After a moment's t...
