Liu Zuan's last words were spoken directly to Liu Shirui, and his tone was particularly solemn.
As a member of an aristocratic family, even a small aristocratic family, you have the pride of belonging to the family, and the upbringing of your children is very important.
Aristocratic families can have dandy children, because those people still contribute in some aspects, such as spreading branches and leaves of the family.
After all, aristocratic families have quite a lot of assets, and no matter how much they are handed over to outsiders, it would be more reassuring to let their own people take care of them. This is also the way out for many illegitimate children or concubines of aristocratic families.
In a sense, they are also contributing to the family.
But for women, aristocratic families have equally strict requirements. They have provided you with fine clothes and fine food since childhood. When the time comes, many of them will be used as marriage tools to strengthen the ties between aristocratic families.
Some of them will be used to recruit talents who are favored by the family. At this time, there is nothing more reliable for these people to become sons-in-law of aristocratic families.
"Don't think that no one knows about the things you do. The dignity of the family is not tarnished by you. If you weren't the only direct bloodline in the Hou family now, do you think you can still live the good life you have today?"
Liu Zuan's words were nothing less than a storm in the hall. Not only the old lady and others, but also Xue Fang and her son were surprised. They did not expect such a big inside story.
Liu Shirui was so surprised that she couldn't speak. Liu also opened his mouth wide. How did he know about such a secret thing?
The old lady was also surprised, but after thinking about it, she also asked doubtfully: "Brother, how did you know about this?"
"Do you think that since you are in Kyoto, our family doesn't know anything?" Liu Zuan said to the old lady in a bad tone: "Brother and sister, if this matter hadn't been known to us, how long would you have planned to hide it?"
The old lady was speechless. This was the deepest thing they had hidden, but once it was revealed, she didn't know how to explain it, because any explanation would be in vain in the face of this ironclad fact.
Seeing that he had calmed down the situation, Liu Zuan stopped provoking and continued: "If Doctor Xie hadn't sent us the message, we would probably have been kept in the dark by you until our death. Not only did we allow such a woman to corrupt us, The Liu family's reputation now wants a child picked up from outside to become the heir to the Hou Mansion.
Do you think the clan would have no objection to this approach? Just for the sake of the reputation of the Hou Mansion and the reputation of our Liu family, we pretend to be deaf and dumb with you. However, the matter of the heir to the Hou Mansion must be settled.
In about half a month, Ping'er and the other two clan elders will come to Kyoto to discuss this matter with you. "
The more he talked, the more he saw the old lady's unkind expression. Liu Zuan turned to comfort him: "We also know that you can't bear to see a bastard inheriting the position of marquis, but at this point, there is no other choice. After all, no matter what Huairen says, it is our Liu Zu'an." Shi's blood is the same blood flowing in Guangli's body.
Even if Huairen becomes the heir of the Hou Mansion, you will still be the head of the Hou Mansion. In the future, Huairen will still respect you, provide for you until the end of your life, shine the lintel of the Hou Mansion, and strengthen the prestige of my Liu family. "
The old lady's expression became more and more displeased when she heard that she was going to retire. As for Liu Shirui and her daughter, they were looking at Liu Zu'an with hatred on their faces at this moment, because if they really did what he said, then their son's succession to the Marquis would really be a problem. It became a joke.
In the end, the old lady kicked everyone out, and she and Liu Zuan were the only two people left in Yangxinju. No one knew what the old lady said.
I saw that Liu Zuan didn't talk about the heir since he came back. When asked, he just said that he would wait until everyone was here before making a decision. This made Xue Fang, who was originally full of confidence, feel uneasy.
Afterwards, the old lady called Liu Shirui and her daughter over again and gave them some instructions. After all, no one knew better than her how much the family valued the distinction between legitimate sons and daughters.
Just thinking about Liu Ziheng's background made her head hurt. There was not much difference in identity between him and Liu Huairen who suddenly appeared.
Liu Huairen was the son of a concubine, and although Liu Shirui was the legitimate daughter, the identity of the child was unknown. How to legalize Liu Ziheng's identity now gave her a headache.
"Mom, didn't dad say that my cousin's husband is one of our own? Does he know that my cousin can't have children?"
Returning to the room where they had been settled, Liu Huairen asked his mother in confusion.
Xue Fang's worried heart was awakened by her son's words.
Yes, the master said that others in the Marquis Mansion may not support him, but the uncle will definitely support him, because it was he who told them the news that the old lady and the others wanted to adopt a stepson to inherit the title.
Now it seems that this uncle has already discovered these inside stories and does not want to follow the wishes of these people, so he informed them, otherwise it will not be justified.
Well, I'll go find this uncle later. He discussed it with this uncle before he came. The elder of the family didn't seem to be very trustworthy. His attitude became ambiguous after one conversation. She really didn't dare to be too Over trust.
In the evening, as soon as Zhang Yuhang returned to the Hou Mansion, Xiao Ma walked up first and told him everything that happened in the Hou Mansion today.
"Master, I have sent people to control Doctor Xie. Without your order, no one would know where he is now. I also asked him to write a letter personally at home, saying that he was traveling and would not be leaving for the time being. questionable."
Zhang Yuhang nodded. He had wanted to deal with this doctor for a long time, but he thought he was still valuable, so he just controlled it temporarily.
"Keeping an eye on him will be useful in the future. Also, how is Wang Yu's side now? What's the situation now?"
Xiao Ma smiled and said: "Master, this Wang Yu is really as you expected. I found a professional gambling master and let him show this skill in front of Wang Yu inadvertently.
Wang Yu was immediately attracted, and now he has almost learned from that master and even became a disciple.
I guess you can learn the so-called gambling skills in just these few days. I have also made arrangements for the casino, which is still Mr. Xie's territory.
His former friends were responsible for contacting him. As for the casino, his master was personally in charge. The game had been laid out, just waiting for him to jump in. "
Zhang Yuhang said: "That's good. Remember, don't lose too much, but don't lose too little. The amount will be kept at around 80,000 taels. This is the second gift I prepared for the old lady.
She still wants to wait quietly for Liu Ping and the others to come over to discuss the title. Then I will let the people of the Liu family see clearly whether the old lady cares about the future of the Marquis Mansion or whether he cares about the heirs of the Wang family. "
