In fact, Chen Xinran and Xinluo's wedding was on the third day of the next month. However, the date that the Chen Family sent to the eight aristocratic families was the first day of the next month.
The reason for this was that it would be inappropriate for the family heads of the eight aristocratic families to attend the wedding because Xinluo and Chen Xinran's status was not high enough.
But at that time, before the Chen Family's elders and other members of the Chen Family had decided on a new master, the invitations had already been sent out.
However, Chen Hongning was also worried that something might happen, so he did not give too much information in the invitation.
He did not even upgrade the invitation to an urgent one!
In addition, the Chen Family was going to choose Chen Hongyuan as the new family head. It did not matter if the family heads of the other eight aristocratic families came or not.
This was because they knew that the Chen Family did not have a high status among the nine aristocratic families. Hence, the other aristocratic families might not give them face.
Because of these uncertainties, the Chen Family's seemingly ordinary yet inexplicable invitation letter had reached the hands of the heads of the Eight Great Clans just like that.
However, they did not know that the more ambiguous something was, the harder it was to reject it.
This was because no one knew if something big was going to happen. If something big was going to happen and the aristocratic families did not know about it, wouldn't that be terrible?
In the end, the family heads of the eight aristocratic families all arrived at the Chen Family before the first day of the next month.
The person who arrived on the first day was the family head of the Situ Family, Situ Xiong.
"Chen Family, why did you gather the family heads of the eight aristocratic families in such a hurry? Did something big happen?" Situ Xiong asked impatiently in the Chen Family's guest hall.
Since he had decided to come to the Chen Family, he was even more anxious on the way, afraid that the other aristocratic families would beat him to it.
He wanted to get hold of all the information as soon as possible!
"I am honored that the family head of the Situ Family invited me. Something big is going to happen in the Chen Family. However, the other aristocratic families have not arrived in the last three days. Hence, I hope the family head of the Situ Family will forgive me. When the nine aristocratic families have gathered, I will definitely tell them everything! "Chen Tianxing did not expect Situ Xiong to come.
This was because he knew that the Chen Clan didn't have much influence among the Nine Great Clans, while the Situ Clan was one of the top three clans among the Nine Great Clans. This was undeniable.
Originally, he thought that even if the Patriarchs of the other aristocratic families came, the Patriarchs of the three aristocratic families might not come.
In the end, Si Tuxiong still rushed over immediately, which really surprised him.
However, to be honest, it was indeed appropriate for the Chen Family's new Family Head to be present.
However, after so many years, the status of each aristocratic family was different. Most of the time, other than the three aristocratic families, when the other aristocratic families' new patriarchs succeeded their positions, the three aristocratic families' patriarchs would usually not attend.
Because they felt that their status was too high, they wouldn't give them face at all.
But this time, Situ Xiong still came to the Chen Family so quickly.
Of course, Chen Tianxing did not know that it was because of his strange invitation that the big families thought something big had happened that Situ Xiong rushed over so quickly.
If he knew that it was only because Chen Hongyuan was going to become the new head of the Chen family, he wondered what kind of expression the heads of the eight big families would have.
Maybe they would vomit blood!
If they knew in advance that the Chen Family was going to change their Family Head this time, they would never have come to the Chen Family.
"Chen Family Head, since I'm already here, why are you still hiding?" Situ Xiong was unwilling to give up.
Didn't he rush over so quickly because he wanted to be the first to know the news?
In the end, Chen Tianxing still kept him in suspense, which made him very unhappy.
"Situ Family Head, you should wait patiently for a day or two. I believe that the other aristocratic families are also on their way, and they might even arrive at the Chen Family soon. When they arrive, I will definitely tell everyone about it!" Chen Tianxing said after thinking about it.
He also knew that if they knew that it was because the Chen Family was going to change their Family Head, with Situ Xiong's temper, if he told him now, he might lose his temper and leave, which would be embarrassing.
"Chen Family Head, can you really not tell us now?" Situ Xiong was still a little unwilling!
"Please forgive me, Situ Family Head. The Patriarch has instructed that we must wait for the eight big families to arrive before we can tell you, so please wait patiently for two more days!" Chen Tianxing said.
He knew that if Situ Xiong continued to insist, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on, so he could only bring up the Patriarch.
Moreover, this matter was indeed arranged by the Patriarch, and he was just following the Patriarch's instructions.
"Even the Patriarch of the Chen Family knows about this?" Situ Xiong was shocked.
Although the Situ family was the top three aristocratic families among the nine big families, his strength was only at the Great Vehicle Stage, so he did not dare to be too arrogant in front of the Patriarch of the Chen Family.
After all, he was now in the Patriarch's territory, and he did not want to offend the Patriarch of the Chen Family without knowing the details of the matter.
If even their Patriarch knew about this, it seemed that this matter was not simple.
"Yes, this matter was actually arranged by the Patriarch, so without the permission of the Patriarch, I really can't tell you, so please forgive me!" Chen Tianxing said apologetically again.
"Well, since the Patriarch of the Chen Family doesn't allow me to tell you, then I will wait for a few more days!" Situ Xiong had no choice but to give up asking.
He did not know whether what Chen Tianxing said was true or not, but he could see that Chen Tianxing really did not want to tell the truth, so he could only give Chen Tianxing face for the time being.
After a few days, when all the people from the eight big families arrived, the Chen Family could not hide it anymore!
"Thank you for your understanding, Situ Family Head. I have already arranged the best room for you, and I will ask someone to take you to rest now!" Chen Tianxing also breathed a sigh of relief.
"This is not urgent, actually, I have another matter that I want to know Patriarch Chen's reply about!" Situ Xiong said as he waved his hand.
"May I know what the matter is, Patriarch Situ?" Chen Tianxing's heart skipped a beat, as if he already knew what Situ Xiong wanted to ask.
This was because Situ Xiong had sent him a letter some time ago, and he had not given a reply. Now, it seemed that Situ Xiong had come in such a hurry because of this matter.
However, now that Chen Xinran and Xin Luo's marriage was imminent, he did not know what Situ Xiong's reaction would be if he told the truth.
"Patriarch Chen is really forgetful, of course, it is about the matter that I mentioned in the letter I sent you some time ago. May I know what Patriarch Chen has thought about it? My Kang 'er heard that the Fifth Miss of the Chen Family is not only amazingly talented, but also extremely talented in cultivation.
If the Chen Family is willing to be on good terms with the Situ Family, it will definitely be good for the Chen Family. The Situ Family will even support the Chen Family to become the third big family. What do you think, Patriarch Chen? "Situ Xiong said with a smile.
