"Is Xie Yongling the prince of Zhan Ninghou?" Liu Guangtian questioned: "Why did our Hou Mansion offend this Crown Prince Xie, and let him pursue us fiercely? Since the decline of the Hou Mansion, he has continued to erode the foundation of our Hou Mansion. , and now he has directly forced our clan elder to death, does he want to fight to the death?"
Facing Liu Guangtian's questioning, the old lady glanced disdainfully.
"Why?"
"Nearly 80% of the powerful people in this great Zhou Dynasty are gathered here. On the surface, everyone is harmonious and loyal to the country."
"But in private, who doesn't just care about his own gangsters? The entire Kyoto underground force is involved in the chain of interests. What a huge piece of fat is that?"
"After my son's death, the Hou Mansion can no longer live up to its original power. However, Zhan Ning Hou holds great power and is the real power in the court. The Xie family behind him is a famous family in the world. Even if I When my son was still alive, the two of them often didn't deal with each other."
"Why, after seeing us in trouble, instead of adding insult to injury, will they choose to help us in times of trouble?"
"This is reality, not the fantasy in that novel."
The old lady's tone was harsh, and she did not give herself, the elder of the Liu family, a good look at all.
"This Kyoto is a cannibalistic place. No one can be immune to the interests involved, and there is no so-called neutrality.
Recuperate and live a long life, those are the comfortable days that can only be found in your hometown. Here, if you don't fight or grab, there will only be one end, being devoured step by step, and in the end, there is only death! '"
Liu Guangtian's eyes widened and he looked at the cold-faced younger sibling in front of him, as if he didn't recognize her.
Also, is Kyoto so scary?
Why didn't he know?
"Okay, brother and sister, don't be angry. I know it's not easy for you to support the entire Hou family in Kyoto these years. You must have gone through a lot of right and wrong. Guangtian doesn't have any other intentions, and we are not here this time for this matter. thing."
"What happened to Zu An is fateful. If you want to blame him, it's because he couldn't control himself and was found a loophole by Xie Yongling. If he can keep himself clean, even if others want to deal with him, they won't be able to do anything."
Seeing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Liu Guangmin stepped forward to smooth things over and ease the conflict between the two.
When the old lady heard Liu Guangmin stand up and speak like this, she no longer looked domineering and bowed to him, "Brother said, my brothers and sisters have learned a lesson."
Then he looked at Liu Guangtian and said, "Brother, I was a little excited just now. I hope you won't blame me."
Faced with the old lady's overtures, Liu Guangtian couldn't continue to support him. After all, he was not familiar with the place in Kyoto. How could he fall out with the head of the Hou Mansion just after he arrived?
He waved his hands and said very politely: "What are you talking about, brother and sister? Although I am a few years older than you, I have not been in Kyoto for a long time after all. I am definitely not as clear about the situation in Kyoto as you are. What I said just now is not good. I hope my siblings won’t take it to heart.”
Seeing that the two of them had at least maintained a superficial peace, Liu Guangmin took over the conversation with a smile: "That's good. After all, we are all a family. Why should we be so unhappy?"
Then he looked at everyone in the hall, and at a glance he saw a man who stood out from the crowd except for them.
"This must be Yuhang. He is indeed a talented person."
When Zhang Yuhang saw someone actually looking at him, he stood up and saluted and said, "Yuhang has met my great-uncle."
"Yes, I have long heard that you have done a lot for the Hou Mansion in the past few years. You are also devoted to Ruier and everyone in the Hou Mansion. It is rare!" Liu Guangmin said and looked at the old lady: "Brother and sister, can you Having Yuhang help you manage the Hou Mansion will save you a lot of worry."
The old lady smiled and said: "Yuhang still strives for success. Although our palace is in decline, it can be considered a great blessing among misfortunes to have Yuhang to take care of us."
Although she was furious with Zhang Yuhang not long ago, she also knew that it was because she was worried about Wang Yu, and Zhang Yuhang just happened to be in the crosshairs of the gun.
In fact, she was extremely satisfied with her grandson-in-law's performance over the years.
Young, rich.
Careful, filial, and quite capable, even the background behind him is a big help.
Only her status as a concubine was not so visible, but if her life experience were better, it would not be her turn to be their son-in-law. Generally speaking, she could hardly find fault with her.
Thinking of this, she glanced at Liu Shirui disapprovingly.
How many sins have I committed to have this granddaughter?
"Yes, but the only drawback is that Yuhang and Rui'er don't have a son yet. You have to pay close attention to this. Our Hou Mansion is currently underpopulated, and yet they point to you and Rui'er to carry on the family lineage of our Hou Mansion. "
No matter how much you say or do, it is all paving the way for this sentence.
In the hall, everyone's smiles stopped abruptly because of this sentence.
The atmosphere was once again at a deadlock.
Zhang Yuhang had no choice but to bite the bullet and replied: "I will follow my uncle's teachings, and Yuhang will work hard."
But Liu Guangmin didn't seem to hear anything. He just looked at Zhang Yuhang with a smile and said nothing.
The old lady said with a gloomy face: "Brother, I came to Kyoto this time not only to see the prosperity of the capital of Zhou Dynasty."
"Hahaha." Liu Weimin laughed when he heard this, and then said softly: "Of course, I am already at this age and have never seen anything. It's just that until now, there is still one thing that I can't let go of, so I don't hesitate to travel thousands of miles to move forward. Come to Kyoto."
"Why is brother so uneasy?"
"The future of my Marquis Mansion and the future of the Liu family."
Liu Guangmin looked solemn at this moment, and his eyes were firm.
"I heard that you are planning to adopt an orphan named Liu Ziheng and add him to my Liu family tree. You even plan to let him inherit the title of Marquis Xingyong? Is this possible?"
The old lady's eyes narrowed slightly, and she was extremely dissatisfied.
Although I already know why you are here, how can I go straight to the topic after the greetings?
Even if Zi Heng's life experience is fabricated, he has to say it is not true in private. How can he question it in such a big way and in front of Zhang Yuhang? Isn't this nonsense?
"Yes, I have such a plan for this matter, but the specifics will definitely need to be discussed with my two brothers in the future."
Liu Weimin was not moved at all, "Discuss? A bastard of unknown origin dares to get involved in the title of Marquis Xingyong? Brothers and sisters, this is not a joke. It is true that the title of the Marquis Mansion was spelled out by your son, but behind this It's not just your Marquis's side that's involved, what do you think?"
"Of course, but this matter is just an idea of my brother and sister. Isn't this a special invitation for you to come and discuss it together? It's not a done deal. I hope that my brother will put down his thunderous wrath for the time being. Can we discuss it in detail in the future?"
Stay calm, this is what she wants to do most right now. After all, how can such a thing be concluded in just a few words?
"Yes, we will discuss this matter later."
"We have come a long way, brothers and sisters, have you prepared any food and wine to welcome us?"
Liu Guangtian stood up again at this time and took the initiative to smooth things over, because he also knew that this matter could not have such a simple result, so in this case, it was better to take it slow.
After you sing, I will appear on the stage, one with a red face and the other with a white face.
They are truly brothers!
