My sister must marry someone else? Why are you crying when I marry the King of War?

if not?

Shao Xun knew exactly what had happened in the Marquis' Mansion, and she also knew that Shao Xun must have known it, and there was no way Shao Xun would keep them there.

Besides, she didn't dare let them stay.

Who knows what that crazy Shao Xun will do? If he does it again, her son might lose his other leg.

Old Madam Shao suppressed Mr. Shao's angry opposition and agreed to divide the family, but Mr. Shao, who was unwilling to give up, made a huge demand for a division of the huge property.

Shao Xun refused.

Considering how vicious his second uncle and second aunt were, it was already a good thing that he allowed them to leave like this.

Mrs. Shao was furious, but there was nothing she could do.

The Wuwei Marquisate quietly split up the family. When Lin Yulan's wine sold well again and made a lot of money, Fu Shi was almost so angry that she vomited blood. More than half a year later, Madam Shao passed away, and the second branch of the Shao family declined very quickly, and there was almost no trace of this person in the capital.

As a result, Shao Zhixin became a coward in the Rongguo Mansion.

Once her natal family split up, the Wuwei Marquisate was no longer her backing. Shao Xun and Lin Yulan hated her so much that they would never do anything to support a "relative" like her.

No matter how self-confident she was, she didn't dare to think so.

The storm of the crown prince's rebellion has finally calmed down, the remnants who should be liquidated have been liquidated, those who should be punished have been punished, those who should be promoted have been promoted, and those who should be filled have been filled. The court must continue to function. After all, this world will never come to a standstill if someone is missing.

However, there was a major problem facing the empire that all the courtiers who cared about the future of the empire had to face.

The prince's lineage has been wiped out, and the second prince has become a sterile invalid. Unfortunately, neither of them has a son yet. Who will take over this vast empire in the future?

This incident almost drove the second prince crazy!

The prince had brought his own death upon himself. As the only son left by his father, he should have lived a life of ease and comfort, but in the end... he was not much better than the prince! He also had nothing left.

Not only that, but I became a laughing stock to everyone!

Concubine Yan and the Second Prince's wife almost cried to death.

The second prince never even went out again.

The emperor is old, and no children have been born in the palace in all these years. The emperor himself knows that he probably won't be able to have another child.

Adoption.

The matter of adoption was naturally brought to the surface.

I heard that the second prince was so angry that he had another violent outburst in the mansion and beat more than a dozen servants with a stick.

In the palace, Imperial Concubine Yan was so angry that she had a headache and even refused to take care of the affairs of the six palaces, citing illness as an excuse.

What's the use? It's just a joke to make clothes for others.

The emperor was in a very bad mood, but now that things had come to this, he had to face it calmly. He couldn't just ignore the country that belonged to his ancestors.

Someone has to inherit the throne eventually.

The royal family was excited for a while, and the situation was turbulent. The powerful court officials also communicated secretly and inquired about each other, trying to get first-hand useful information.

What's funny is that Meng Zifang, who married a member of a poor branch of the royal family as a concubine, actually benefited from this incident.

Meng Zifang had neither family background nor brains, and she took the initiative to become a concubine, so she was naturally despised. But now it's different! Now the heir to the throne is vacant, and as long as it has not been truly determined, then everyone in the royal family has a share.

After all, the ministers in the court were still arguing fiercely. Some said that the crown prince should be trained from a young age, so a child no older than six should be adopted; others said that the child was too young and unstable, and that if he was properly trained, would he be guaranteed to have good character and be knowledgeable? It would be better to select young people, those with good character and kindness, and train them for a few years to give them some experience. Wouldn't that be more secure?

Both sides may have selfish motives for their own benefit or they may really be thinking about the court and the world, but in the end the result is the same: a huge quarrel.

In this way, all the royal family members were tempted, and everyone had a chance!

Meng Zifang's husband also thought so.

As a result, Meng Zifang was quickly promoted to a co-wife and went to visit the Wuwei Marquis's Mansion.

Lin Yulan was very puzzled. She didn't quite understand why Meng Zifang came to her house, but after all, she was a distant relative, and she couldn't just ignore her when she came to visit.

Meng Zifang was not a person who was good at making insinuations or hints without showing any emotion, so Lin Yulan coaxed her into telling him everything with just a few words.

Her husband also wanted to be the crown prince, and they were all relatives. As long as Wuwei Marquis's Mansion supported him, he would never forget their contributions in the future. In addition to Wuwei Marquis's Mansion, Meng Zifang also planned to go to Rongguogong Mansion.

If both the Wuwei Marquisate and the Rongguo Duke's Mansion support him, then his chances of winning will be very great!

Lin Yulan didn't know what to say for a moment.

I just admire you.

Dare to think.

Virtue and talent, I wonder which one Meng Zifang's husband possesses? Everyone in the royal family has a chance, but not everyone can really try.

Isn't this a mess?

He actually wanted both the Wuwei Marquisate and the Rongguo Dukeate to support him? Because they were all relatives? He was too naive!

Lin Yulan knew that Meng Zifang would not understand polite refusal, so she rejected him directly. "Your Majesty only listens to the emperor. The court officials will naturally discuss a good result with the emperor. This is a major matter concerning the country. If you form cliques and factions in private and try to have other intentions, if the emperor knows about it, I'm afraid you won't even be able to become a member of the royal family. You should go back. The Marquis' Mansion will never agree to this."

Meng Zifang was indeed not so easy to convince. She was so proud that she actually thought that she might become the Crown Princess. How could someone like Lin Yulan teach her a lesson at will?

"Sister Lin, that's not the case! My husband is a good person with good character and knowledge. More importantly, he is sincere and filial. He is filial. The emperor might choose him. If you don't help now, don't regret it in the future! I am giving you a chance to make meritorious contributions out of kindness because we are relatives. Don't be ungrateful."

Lin Yulan laughed angrily: "These are not words a subject should say or listen to. I will just pretend that you have never been here. Don't come again in the future."

"Sister Lin, are you determined not to accept my toast and drink the wine for punishment?"

"Just say so."

Lin Yulan couldn't explain to such a stubborn person, and there was no need to try to explain to her.

It's no wonder that such enormous wealth could make anyone obsessed. She understood it, although she did not agree with it.

Meng Zifang was angry: "Okay, this is what Sister Lin said herself, don't regret it in the future!"

Meng Zifang left angrily.

Lin Yulan told Shao Xun about this, and Shao Xun was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
