The Liu Wang family here naturally refers to the old lady. The old man is the elder of the Liu family. He is close to sixty years old. He is in his sixtieth year and has a seniority higher than the late Xingyong Marquis. She is his father's cousin, so it is natural to call his mother Liu Wang.
Looking at the Hou Mansion in front of him, he sighed in his heart.
This place was originally the place of glory for the entire Liu family, but luckily, it has fallen into today's situation. Even the heirs have to rely on concubines to inherit. I don't know if this is a kind of sadness.
"Old lady, people from my hometown are here. In addition to the mother and son, the elders of the Zu'an clan are also here. They are at the gate now. Do we need to go out to greet them?"
Yang Xinju, Grandma Zhou stepped forward and reported to the old lady.
The old lady rubbed her forehead and said, "Then let's go take a look together. You can inform Yuhang and ask them to gather at the gate."
If it was just the mother and son, the old lady was not even interested in meeting her. They would rush to greet her and it would depend on her mood. But the clan elder was also here, so she had to meet them.
She was even received with the highest standards. After all, she was only the daughter-in-law of the Liu family. Even if her identity had changed now, she was still a member of the Liu family. To neglect the elders of the clan, she could not bear the accusation of being unfilial.
In the study, Zhang Yuhang also closed his book, knowing that it was someone coming from his hometown, and Zhang Yuhang also knew that the Hou Mansion would definitely not be clean next time.
But it's okay, only in this way can the old lady's energy be tied up, and she will even have to rely on herself to give them a platform when the time comes. Otherwise, if you want Liu Ziheng to enter the family tree, you will have to spend too much energy.
"Husband, this mother and son are here with bad intentions, and there are also elderly members of the clan. What should we do?" Liu Shirui whispered from the side.
Zhang Yuhang smiled slightly: "Madam, don't worry, my husband is here and I will definitely support you. However, the clan elders are also here. Some things cannot be rushed and have to be dealt with slowly. You should understand this." "
It doesn't take long. There are less than twenty days before King Zhou's birthday. As long as he survives this period, it's time to put an end to his grudges with the Marquis Mansion.
The two of them came to the gate together. After all, it was their first meeting, and no one wanted to leave a bad impression in front of this elder.
When they arrived, everyone in the Hou Mansion had already arrived. Except for the old lady, Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Sun, they had also arrived early. Only the two aunts who were still at home to visit the bride were not back.
When the old lady saw Elder Liu Zu'an walking in from the gate, he also said enthusiastically: "Brother Zu'an, we have been waiting for you for a long time. We have always invited you to come to Kyoto as a guest, but you have always refused to come. This time You have to stay here for a while, and let me entertain you on behalf of my late husband and Guangli."
Liu Guangli is the son of the old lady and the holder of the title of Marquis Xingyong.
When Liu Guangli was mentioned, Liu Zuan also sighed deeply.
"Guang Li was once the glory of our Liu family. It was he who made our family from a small place become a wealthy family in this great Zhou Dynasty. Our family members also received too much care from him."
When the old lady heard this, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she choked with sobs: "It's just that this child doesn't have this life, and he has built such a big industry, but he..."
Zhang Yuhang sarcastically said in his heart, if such a person were still alive and knew what you people did, and knew that he would give birth to such a shameless daughter, he might be angry to death.
The old lady continued to play, without the slightest concern that so many people were watching, and said: "My son has paid so much for this family and the entire Liu family. It was not easy to build such a foundation, but it was just a defeat." , not only did he die on the battlefield, but also the sons and sons of the Hou Mansion also died.
Now there are still people who want to inherit my son's title. Brother, I have to consider the lives of us orphans and widowed mothers. After all, we are my son's closest family members. "
Faced with such a promise made in public, Liu Zuan didn't know what to say for a moment. He just said nonchalantly: "That's for sure. You are Guangli's mother and the current head of the Hou Mansion. Without your permission, , no one can claim to have inherited the title of Guangli without permission, don’t worry about this.”
When they met for the first time, Liu Zuan saw how difficult this younger sibling was. After this conversation, he also knew very well that this younger sibling was not willing to let Liu Ping, the son of a bastard, inherit the title.
The next step was very harmonious. The old lady enthusiastically introduced everyone present to Liu Zuan one by one, and then arranged the banquet and reception.
After all, it was like a family dinner, so there was nothing to avoid. However, from beginning to end, the entire Hou family seemed to have a tacit understanding of treating the mother and son as if they were nothing, and no one paid any attention to it.
Zhang Yuhang left after saying hello because he had to go to the Supervisor's Office, and did not participate in the banquet.
After drinking and eating, Liu Zuan took the initiative to propose that everyone get together to discuss the proposal of letting Liu Huairen be adopted into the name of the Liu family. After all, this is what he came for this time. Even though he knew that Wang Liu was unhappy, he still had to say It has to be said that {Liu Shirui's mother is Liu, because her surname is also Liu in the setting, so she can't be called Liu Liu. (❁´◡`❁)}
When they came to Yangxin Residence, they sent the Sun family away in the name of getting together as brothers and sisters, leaving them the only ones who were most directly involved.
But before leaving, Mrs. Sun saw that she was the only one being excluded, and her dissatisfaction was particularly heavy. She thought to herself: "It's time to bring those two back, otherwise the prince's house will not talk about heirs in the future, whether there will be them or not." There is no guarantee of their position. Only if the three of them stand on the same line can they have a chance to fight for their interests."
When everyone was seated in Yangxin Residence, the old lady's face changed, as if her heart had been pricked, but she quickly calmed down and said: "Brother, I don't agree with this matter, although there are no men in the Hou Mansion now. Ding, let alone a suitable heir, it would not be Liu Ping's turn, the son of a concubine, to inherit the title of our Marquis Mansion.
What's more, Shirui and Yuhang have a daughter now, and they will have children next. The child they give birth to is the most suitable person to inherit the title of the Marquis. Moreover, Yuhang is the son of Marquis Yongchang, and our Marquis's family still has to Relying on Mr. Zhang, how dare you offend him like this? "
Xue Fang and her daughter just did it quietly without any reaction, while Liu Zuan's lips flashed with a contemptuous smile and said: "Brother and sister, you don't have to prevaricate me like this. If we dare to come, we must have done it before." Some understanding.
It is true that Zhang Yuhang is the son of Marquis Yongchang, but he is just a bastard and is not popular. Besides, this is our Liu family's business after all. Even if he is the Marquis, he cannot interfere with our internal heirs. "
Then he glanced at Liu Shirui and her daughter, and continued: "As for your granddaughter Shirui and Zhang Yuhang having another child, let me ask Ruier, can you still have a child?"
