[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Having said that, there was no way Rong Enqing could be persuaded anymore.

The horse-faced old man had no choice but to turn to Yun Hao and said, "Just follow Rong's instructions and stand for a while."

Yun Hao looked at everyone with indignation, and finally looked at Rong Enqing with cold eyes, and said word by word: "What if I don't stand up today?"

Rong Enqing said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter. You didn't come here to discuss anything with me anyway."

As she spoke, she glanced at the people present and said calmly, "After all, everyone present here believes that it is a foregone conclusion that you, Yun Hao, will be the Marquis of Shun'an. Aren't you here today just for the seal in my hand? Haha, why not give it to you?"

After all, the Marquis's Mansion taking the initiative to submit a petition for a title and asking Yun Hao's father-in-law to do the request are two completely different concepts.

The fact that the Marquis' Mansion submitted its own memorial at least showed on the surface that the internal members of the Mansion were still united, and it could also retain a little face to the outside world.

If it really came to the point where Yun Hao's father-in-law, Minister Song, had to ask for a title for him, it would be embarrassing at best, and at worst, the Shun'an Marquisate would no longer be able to hold its head up in front of the Song family.

Therefore, for the sake of the little remaining face of Shun'an Marquis Mansion, everyone still hopes to get Yun Zhen's seal.

Just when everyone thought that the goal of today was about to be achieved, Rong Enqing immediately said, "I just don't know, if I, as his stepmother, go to beat the Shenglong drum to accuse Yun Hao of being unfilial, will he still be able to keep his position as the Marquis?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then they all showed expressions of shock and anger.

"you you……"

The old man with the horse face was so angry that he couldn't speak clearly.

Rong Enqing pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing an increasingly provocative smile, and continued: "You said, the Marquis has been dead for three years, and the emperor has not issued an order to confer a new title of Shun'an Marquis on our mansion. Doesn't he want our Shun'an Marquisate to continue to stand out and catch the eyes of the world?

"Guess what, if I leave a blood letter and hang myself in front of the Marquis's house, can His Majesty use this as a pretext to deprive the Marquis of his title? If my death is not enough, I can probably use the blood letter to confiscate the family property and exterminate the clan. What do you think?"

"Crazy! I think you are crazy!" This time, not only the horse-faced old man was emotional, but even the fat old man was so scared that his soul flew away, and he kept shouting "Crazy, really crazy!"

Seeing everyone present looking pale and uneasy, Rong Enqing couldn't help but cover his chest and laugh with his head tilted back.

Look, it's so easy to control these people! But the original body was tortured to death and died of depression.

In the final analysis, the original body cares about too many things! The original body cares about the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion, the future of the Marquis' Mansion, her youngest son, and the power in her hands! Therefore, she always has a thousand concerns, which force her to endure and compromise!

But Rong Enqing is not her original self. She doesn't care about the Marquis' Mansion, power, or Yunhai Xiaorong. She just wants to live comfortably! After all, her mood will seriously affect her lifespan!

She firmly believed that as long as she was willing to give it her all, she would be the final winner.

As expected, Yun Hao stood up from his chair, bowed to Rong Enqing with a dejected look, and said in a painful voice: "Mother, please calm down. I will stand and listen to your lecture."

In this battle, Rong Enqing won in the end!

Everyone looked at Yun Hao who was bending down and bowing, with sympathy in their eyes.

Jiang, who was standing by, was so angry that her eyes almost popped out. If Song and the maid beside her hadn't held Jiang tightly, Jiang would have rushed forward to fight Rong Enqing.

Things shouldn't be like this! Her son obviously had the best time, the best location, and the best people, so why did he have to bow down to this woman? Her son should be the winner with his head held high! Why did this woman gain the upper hand with just a few words?

Jiang felt as if she was being tormented by a hundred claws, but Rong Enqing sneered calmly and said sarcastically, "If you had been so obedient earlier, wouldn't everything have been fine?"

After saying that, he sat back on the main seat again, with a nonchalant look, "Okay, don't you just want the Marquis's seal? Oh, maybe now you also want a promise from me, such as not to beat the Shenglong drum all the time, not to drag the entire Marquis's Mansion or even the entire Yun family into the water all the time, and so on, right?

"All of this is easy to talk about. As long as you agree to my terms and let me live comfortably, I will naturally not think too much about it. After all, it is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. Don't you think this makes sense?"

"Tell me your conditions." The old man with a horse face had a cold expression on his face, and there was a barely perceptible tremor in his voice when he spoke.

Even though he was already in his seventies, this was the first time he had encountered a woman like Rong Enqing who would drag the entire family to die together. He was really scared today.

The fat old man also wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said softly, "Yes, you say it."

Rong Enqing drank his tea slowly, then cleared his throat and looked at Yun Hao and said, "I already mentioned the first condition yesterday."

Yun Hao bit his lip, walked to the hall, bowed to Rong Enqing and the elders present, and said in a deep voice: "I swear, as long as I, Yun Hao, becomes the Marquis of Shun'an, I will separate Aunt Jiang and the third room from the Marquis's Mansion. Is that okay?" His expression was solemn, his tone was sad and angry, and he looked like someone who had endured humiliation and suffered all kinds of grievances.

Rong Enqing rolled his eyes in disdain, muttered to himself that it was fake, and then responded slowly: "One more thing, until you die, I will never bring Jiang and the third room back to the Marquis' Mansion."

"Don't go too far!" Yun Hao glared at Rong Enqing with gritted teeth.

"Uncle San, Uncle Wu, you all saw it, right? I didn't mean to embarrass you. It was Yun Hao who was not sincere. He didn't even agree to my first condition. Can you blame me for that?"

The horse-faced old man glared at Yun Hao and said, "Since it has been separated from the Marquis' Mansion, there is no reason to take it back. Add this sentence."

Yun Hao lowered his head, making it impossible to see his expression, but his hands, which were hanging at his sides, were clenched into fists, with veins on the back of his hands exposed.

After a long while, he spoke again: "I swear, as long as I become the Marquis of Shun'an, I will separate Aunt Jiang and my third brother's family from the Marquis' Mansion, and I will never take them back to the Marquis' Mansion even if I die."

Rong Enqing nodded in satisfaction and praised generously: "Very good. My second condition is that you also give me the fourth room when the time comes."

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned and showed expressions of disbelief.

"You heard me right. I meant to separate the fourth house as well. After all, there can only be one Marquis in the Marquisate. Those who are not destined to be the Marquis should not stay in the mansion and cause trouble."

Rong Enqing found a plausible excuse for herself. Little did she know that her words had slightly changed the family's opinion of her. She was a bit shrewish and shameless, and although she spoke harshly, she was still a woman of a noble family who took the overall situation into consideration. For the stability of the mansion, she even gave away her own son. Well, not bad, very good!

Although Yun Hao didn't know what Rong Enqing was up to, this condition, after all, was beneficial to him. So he said readily: "Okay, as long as I become the Marquis of Shun'an, I will separate the fourth branch from the Marquis' Mansion."

As soon as Yun Hao finished speaking, he heard a loud shout from the door: "I don't agree!"
