Hearing Yang Guangrong's words, Zhao Rufa and Qian Laifu exchanged a glance, both of their expressions filled with worry.
The other three family heads felt the same.
Finally, after hesitating for a moment, Zhao Rufa said, "My Zhao Family naturally follows the Yang Family's lead."
"Whomever Brother Yang says should take the seat will take it."
Qian Laifu followed suit, adding, "Of course, Brother Yang, we all listen to you."
"Amongst the Six Great Noble Families, whether in terms of seniority or age, Brother Yang far surpasses us. Once the Elder passes, Brother Yang will naturally be the next King of Jiangnan."
"We're all willing to follow Brother Yang. The Yang Family eats meat, and we're content with sipping the soup."
Indeed, ginger is the spiciest when old!
Knowing when to advance and when to retreat! Even if it means nodding and bowing!
Before the news that Yang Huazhi was being called back had been shared, they might have still been able to contend with the Yangs.
