The cannon fodder female supporting role is busy in the book, and she gets mad when she disagrees wi

After the Qionglin Banquet, the Earl's Mansion became a complete joke.

When Fang Zhenghua returned home, the first thing he did was to make Fang Youwei kneel in the ancestral temple for ten days before he was allowed to come out.

After all, the entire Earl's Mansion was completely destroyed because of Fang Youwei. His status as the crown prince was stripped, and his descendants for three generations could not take the imperial examinations, which meant that he lost both his title and his official career.

After punishing Fang Youwei, Fang Zhenghua suddenly became depressed. He sat on the chair without saying a word.

Mrs. Fang rushed over and saw him like this, and couldn't help but persuade him:

"Master, we still have a chance."

"What chance do we have?" Fang Zhenghua said, "If we are both useless, the foundation created by our ancestors and fathers will be destroyed in our generation. Even if the late emperor granted permission not to reduce the title within five generations, what's the point? We don't even have an heir to inherit the title!"

At this moment, Fang Ruoruo walked in from outside and happened to hear Fang Zhenghua's words:

"Father, this is wrong. Who said there is no heir?"

"Your Majesty only said that the descendants of my eldest brother cannot take the imperial examination, but he did not say that the entire Earl's Mansion cannot take the examination. So why didn't father consider my second brother? He is also a descendant of the Earl's Mansion."

"Even though my second brother is now paralyzed in bed, His Majesty has not cut off his path to having descendants. In my opinion, it would be better to marry my second brother off now and let my sister-in-law give birth to a son as soon as possible. Then your father can ask for a title for your grandson. If there is no crown prince, he can still be a crown grandson!"

As long as the title is not demoted within five generations, the title can be transferred.

Since the original heir had problems, a new heir had to be chosen. Originally, the second son was the most suitable candidate, but he was paralyzed and had difficulty walking, so he could not be the crown prince.

Then please let Feng Lao Er’s next generation, that is, Fang Zhenghua’s grandchildren.

"Yes, sir, that's exactly what I wanted to say." Madam Fang said, "The late emperor said that the title would not be reduced within five generations. Your Majesty cannot disobey your father's order, so the title will not be taken back. As long as we have an heir, we still have hope."

After hearing this, Fang Zhenghua looked at the mother and daughter and couldn't help but sneered:

"Have you forgotten that after the incident at the Earl of Gaochang's mansion, the second son's personality has become twisted and he has no interest in women at all? You still want him to get married and have children? This is undoubtedly a foolish dream!"

Yes, Fang Youdao became a homosexual.

Not only is he not interested in women, he is also unable to do anything with men now. Even if he really wants to have "in-depth communication", he is the zero at the bottom. What's the use?

After hearing this, Mrs. Fang was speechless and didn't know what to say.

Fang Ruoruo lowered her head, thought for a moment, and said:

"Since the request to confer the title of Crown Prince is not feasible, then father, there is only one way left for us to go."

"What else do you have in mind?" Fang Zhenghua asked.

Fang Roruo took a deep breath and looked around carefully. Seeing that there was no one around and the maids and servants were not around, she lowered her voice and spoke:

"Support the Third Prince to ascend the throne. Only when he ascends the throne can the Earl's Mansion of Loyalty and Bravery have the possibility of rising."

"If he fails, with any other prince, we will only be reduced to the lowest level among the nobles, away from the core circle of the capital, and there will be no hope of recovery."

After all, Fang Youwei’s descendants are definitely doomed to have no way out, and Fang Youdao will never have children in this life.

Then, the only hope naturally lies in Fang Ruoruo, the married daughter.

Fang Zhenghua's expression eased a little after hearing this:

"Although what you said is true, the current situation of the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion is unlikely to provide any help to the Third Prince. Although we have some connections in the army, they are unlikely to get involved in the fight for the throne for us."

After all, it's still a dead end.

"No, father, we don't have a solution, but the Dingbei Marquis's Mansion does." Fang Ruoruo said, "Dingbei Marquis is the Third Prince's uncle. He has military power. As long as he agrees, the Third Prince will ascend the throne in no time."

After all, there are only two adult princes, the third prince and the fifth prince.

If Marquis Dingbei supports the third prince, then the fifth prince will basically have no chance and will not be considered at all.

"Don't forget, His Majesty has already arranged a marriage between the eldest daughter of Marquis Dingbei and the fifth prince. Marquis Dingbei is not insane. Why would he help his nephew instead of his daughter and son-in-law?" Fang Zhenghua sneered.

Fang Ruoruo seemed to have made up her mind and said:

"But hasn't Feng Yishu married the Fifth Prince yet?"

"Since she's not married, the Fifth Prince can't be considered my son-in-law. What if I'm willing to make a deal with Feng Yishu, and when the Third Prince ascends the throne, I'll voluntarily step down as a concubine and let her be the Queen?"

"Is this a better choice for Marquis Dingbei?"

Fang Zhenghua thought about it carefully and found that this was indeed a good choice.

If Marquis Dingbei supports the fifth prince to ascend the throne, then his daughter will have to become the queen; but what if he supports the third prince, then his daughter will still be the queen?

The Third Prince is his own nephew, isn’t that closer to him than the Fifth Prince?

Anyway, Feng Yishu has not married the fifth prince yet. If the third prince succeeds in becoming the crown prince before they get married, will everything happen as Fang Ruoruo imagined?

After Fang Zhenghua figured it out, he asked Fang Ruoruo in a calm voice:

"But if you retire from the position of concubine in the future, you will be demoted to a concubine and will be ridiculed by others. And our Earl of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion cannot be considered the Queen's family. We can only be considered ordinary royal relatives."

"But father, if we don't do this, our family won't even be qualified to become ordinary royal relatives." Fang Ruoruo said, "This is the only way to give it a try. Besides, demoting my wife to a concubine doesn't mean that my daughter has lost, right? There is still a long way to go. Who knows what will happen to Feng Yishu?"

After all, it can be summed up in four words: there is a long way to go.

Fang Zhenghua stared at Fang Ruoruo for a while, and then his expression softened:

"Ruoruo is smart."

Fang Ruoruo smiled and asked:

"Father, if you agree, can we take action now? At least we need to reach an agreement with the Dingbei Marquisate to make the Fifth Prince lose his right to succeed the throne."

"Does it need to be so fast?" Fang Zhenghua asked, "I'm thinking, if we don't cooperate with Marquis Dingbei and just try to deal with the Fifth Prince in private, then you don't need to give up your position as the first wife."

Fang Ruoruo sighed and slowly said a shocking news:

"Father, it's not that I'm anxious. It's because today, the Third Prince and I went to the palace to visit Concubine Shu and got a very important piece of information. It is said that... the Queen is pregnant."

"If the Queen gives birth to a legitimate son, His Majesty may not look at the Third Prince differently, so we must let the Third Prince take the absolute initiative before the matter is settled."

If it weren't for the news that the Queen was pregnant, Fang Ruoruo wouldn't have to rush to cooperate with the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion.

She only needed to find a way to defeat the Fifth Prince, and then the Third Prince would naturally be the only candidate among the adult princes. But now, things had changed and she could not wait any longer.
