The royal family reads her mind, and the cannon fodder daughter creates the Feihou Mansion

[Here they come! What face, what reputation, what offspring, they are all just excuses, this is their real purpose for making trouble. ]

[I heard that this old patriarch has a large family, and the concubine he just redeemed from the brothel is pregnant again. He is really strong and healthy! I just don't know if the child is his. ]

Zhu Xuanhengxu clenched his fist to cover the upward curve of his lips.

This little girl should be the eldest lady Song Yunxi from the Imperial Master’s Mansion whom Madam has recently made friends with.

He had heard Song Yunxi's voice at the Spring Banquet, but he forgot about it because it had nothing to do with him.

After listening to her chattering for so long, the memories that he had ignored came back to him, and the voice he heard overlapped with the arrogant and bright face at the Spring Banquet.

The Imperial Master really taught his daughter well. The little girl is not only smart but also arrogant and mean. Her temperament is exactly the same as that of the Imperial Master.

It is good for women to be like this, as they will not suffer as much as the lady.

If he had a daughter, she would definitely be brought up like this. To hell with all the knowledge and manners!

Zhu Xuanheng didn't notice at all that the old tutor's lips, which were covered by the teacup, were also curled up.

Zhu Xuanheng helped Madam Zhu sit down, patted the back of her hand to calm her down, then turned to ask the clan leader, "Adopt a child? Has your uncle already chosen someone?"

[Do I even need to ask? It must be his own grandson! This old man has been coveting everything in the Taifu Mansion for a long time. Not only did he achieve a leap in status by adopting his grandson to the Taifu Mansion, but he could also easily get everything in the Taifu Mansion. What a good plan! ]

The old patriarch stroked his gray beard and winked at several tribesmen who had a say in the tribe. They immediately understood what he meant and said the same words tacitly.

"The youngest grandson of the clan leader is smart and clever. I think he is a very good child."

"Besides, the child is young and can't remember much, so it's just right to adopt him. You don't have to worry about him becoming estranged from you and your wife."

"Yes, that child looks like a blessed one. Adopting him will bring blessings to you and your wife."

"..."

[It seems that a lot of money was secretly used to bribe them! Let's not talk about what the child is like, who in the capital doesn't know what kind of people the child's parents are? They are simply eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and the couple have killed people! How good can a child be with such parents? ]

Zhu Xuanheng was shocked. He knew a little about some of the shady things some of his tribesmen did, but he never thought that some of them would involve human lives.

If they continue to let this go, Zhu Xuanheng dare not imagine what will become of the Zhu family, and their family will certainly be implicated.

He had to have a serious talk with his father about restraining his clan members, otherwise he would really face a catastrophe.

Judging from the attitude of the clan members, they are determined to adopt the child today. Madam Zhu was shaking uncontrollably.

It’s not that she hadn’t thought about adopting a child, but after meeting Song Yunxi, her hope was rekindled and she gave up the idea of ​​adopting a child.

Moreover, even if she really wanted to adopt a child, she would look for one who was satisfactory in every aspect. The clan leader's family was full of corruption and she really didn't want to adopt a child who was influenced by such a family tradition.

However, being childless for more than ten years really made her lack confidence, and she didn't dare to say no.

The old patriarch also understands this point, so he is fearless.

"Xuan Heng, our clansmen are doing this for your own good. Even if you don't care about having offspring, you still have to consider your Grand Tutor. You can't let your Grand Tutor not even have the pleasure of playing with his grandchildren."

In order to not give Zhu Xuanheng a chance to refuse, the old patriarch turned his attention to the Grand Tutor: "Grand Tutor, the younger generations are still not thoughtful enough, so you have to make the decision."

"Don't bother your father."

Zhu Xuanheng comforted his uneasy wife and stated his decision in a decisive manner: "I will not adopt a child and I have no plans to take a concubine. If Yuanniang and I can have a child in our lifetime, it is God's mercy. If we are destined to have no children, it is also God's will and it is beyond our control. So please don't worry about our husband and wife affairs."

Ignoring the patriarch's ugly expression, he knelt down respectfully to the old master and said, "I am an unfilial son if I cannot let my father enjoy the happiness of family life."

Mrs. Zhu also knelt beside her husband and said, "My daughter-in-law is unfilial."

The old master, who had been silent the whole time, put down the tea in his hand and spoke leisurely, "You are respectful and filial. Yuanniang has been married for more than ten years and has managed the house in an orderly manner. How can you be unfilial?"

"And just as Xuan Heng said, matters concerning children are all God's will. If this is God's will, we don't have to go against it."

Mrs. Zhu didn't expect that her father-in-law would not only speak for her, but also cut off the way for the clan members to force her to adopt a child. She was so excited that she started sobbing.

When she was at home, she was doted on by her parents. After she got married, her father-in-law treated her like his own daughter and loved her like a daughter. She and her husband were even more loving and affectionate. Perhaps it was because everything was too perfect that it was difficult for her to have children.

But she believed that Song Yunxi would definitely fulfill their wish of having both sons and daughters.

Zhu Xuanheng could understand this, but the clan leader did not expect that even the Grand Tutor would refuse without leaving any room for negotiation.

After being shocked, he still wanted to persuade her again, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was stopped by the Grand Tutor: "I have made up my mind, so there is no need to say more."

It was difficult to discern the emotion in the deep and shrewd eyes of the Grand Master: "I am not energetic enough now, and Xuan Heng is also busy with official duties. I will not be able to take care of the younger generations in the clan's studies in the future, and I am even more afraid that it will hinder their future. In the future, I will have to trouble the clan leader and you to take care of them."

[Pfft, it really has to be the old master! Don’t you like to meddle in other people’s affairs? Then you can meddle enough in the future! ]

Those who came to the Grand Tutor's Mansion to cause trouble today were all the wise men in the clan, and they naturally understood what the old Grand Tutor said.

I never expected that just by helping the clan leader to facilitate the adoption, I would end up cutting off the education path for my children and grandchildren.

It can even be said that the future path for future generations to enter officialdom has been ruined.

If they had known this would happen, they would never have accepted the favor from the clan leader.

But the old tutor always keeps his word, and it is too late to regret.

They all regretted their actions and looked at the clan leader with resentment in their eyes.

"Xunzhi, this is not a good thing for you! Don't forget that we in the Zhu family are of the same blood and share the same fate."

The clan leader had no choice but to step forward, hoping that the tutor would change his mind.

The old master was calm and composed: "Just as the clan leader said, my branch will be extinct, how can we still say that we will prosper together and suffer together?"

Patriarch: "..."

This completely offended the Grand Tutor.

Suddenly I felt regretful. I shouldn't have been blinded by money and came to the Taifu Mansion.

[The old master would not curse himself like this. It is you, the heartless clansmen, who will end up with no descendants. The old master is devoted to the country and the people, so he will definitely have many descendants.]
