Favoring the concubine and killing the wife? She divorced the concubine and lived with her concubine

Xiao Lan had a basic understanding of Xiao Xuan's plan, so she had expected Xiao Xuan's words. She didn't show any surprise, but rather anxiety. She could clearly feel that another annoying incident surrounding her was about to begin.

As expected, Xiao Zongshan's expression changed, "You are making me even more anxious when you say this."

Xiao Xuan wasn't annoyed, his expression was as usual. "Uncle, you're not being hasty. Among the younger generation in our Xiao family, only my sister Lan'er and I have the surname Xiao. If it's not hers, it's mine. Now my sister has married into the Sun family, and they don't have a son. Mr. Sun is bedridden, and I don't know if it's humane. The Xiao family has no descendants, so is it possible that all the family business will be dispersed?"

Xiao Lan took a long time to swallow the tea she held in her mouth. Xiao Xuan's good looks were truly wasted. If Sun Shaohua heard this, he would probably not even want to live.

"What are you talking about?" Madam Xiao slammed the table and stood up. "It's not your place to make up stories about our son-in-law. Second Uncle's return to his ancestral home is just because he's old and wants to be a son. Do you really think you can join the Xiao family tree?"

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner. Since you haven't gone to the ancestral hall to kneel down and worship, you are not considered a member of the Xiao family for the time being. We won't keep you here today. Xiao Lan, show me around!" Xiao Zongshan was very stylish. He raised his hand and waved, then stopped looking at him.

This was the first time Xiao Lan was so obedient. Although she felt that this was not a family dinner of the Xiao family, she still jumped off the chair and drove everyone out.

"This is a family dinner, you can't be so presumptuous! Go away!"

"I said I would make you agree." Xiao Xuan turned around with a triumphant expression on his face.

Xiao Lan didn't respond because, as Xiao Zongshan had said, Xiao Xuan's father was born out of wedlock and had never been registered under the Xiao family name. He hadn't been able to return for so many years, so it must be that his second grandfather's family didn't recognize him. How could such a large Xiao family have a son born out of wedlock inherit the family business?

Xiao Lan had even considered that Xiao Zongshan might adopt a son under his name, but she never thought that this would lead to such a situation.

She pushed Xiao Xuan out of the main hall and onto the long corridor at the entrance. Xiao Lan looked him up and down. "You're a good person, why are you doing these ridiculous things? The Xiao family business isn't something you can inherit just because you want to. As my father said, you're a little too impatient."

"Since I'm telling you, it means I definitely know the exact news. But no matter what, that's their previous generation's business and has nothing to do with me! I don't want to waste my time here." Xiao Xuan finally lost his usual smile, and his heart and eyes were filled with unhappiness that was evident in his words.

"Are you sure he'll let you inherit the family business? Are you sure my father will agree?" Xiao Lan looked at him and suddenly had a premonition. Perhaps his father had really done something to ensure that Xiao Xuan would inherit the family business after he returned to his ancestral home?

But even if this family business is inherited, doesn't it have to wait until my father is buried? All this rush is just to take away a little bit.

Xiao Lan couldn't figure it out.

"Lan'er! Don't say any more words to him, just send him out by the servants!" Xiao Zongshan's voice came from the hall.

Xiao Lan returned to the hall obediently. Xiao Zongshan should be able to give her answers to the things she couldn't understand.

"I didn't expect you to handle the Sun family matter so well." Xiao Zongshan picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"It's not in vain that I taught you." Mrs. Xiao also looked at her.

Xiao Lan naturally didn't have a good impression of these parents and didn't want to say any more meaningless words to them.

"Why is Xiao Xuan so sure that he can take the Xiao family's assets from you?"

"Who knows what despicable tricks this bastard is planning!" Mrs. Xiao spoke harshly, but Xiao Lan pretended not to hear.

"Since you know that I am your only child and there will be trouble with inheritance in the end, why don't you have another one?" Xiao Lan was puzzled.

"Do you think I don't want to have a baby?" Mrs. Xiao became furious when she said this, and looked at Xiao Zongshan with disgust in her eyes!

Xiao Lan, however, seemed to understand, and she tutted her tongue twice without saying anything. So Xiao Zongshan was inhumane? How could he have given birth to her then?

"Why don't you just talk it over, and I can help you think of a solution!" Xiao Lan naturally didn't want to fight over the family property. In this day and age, with no cameras anywhere, people were capable of anything when pushed to the limit. She didn't want to experience the sense of pressure of having a knife at her neck.

"The only thing you can do now is to give birth to a son and remember your last name!" Xiao Zongshan pretended not to notice the gazes of the two.

"You've seen what he looks like. It's even a question whether he can survive. How can he have a son with me? What's more, even if the son I give birth to has my surname, he can't compare to a real son born by a legitimate son!" Xiao Lan walked to the side and sat down, thinking about how to make these two people give up trying to use their strength on her.

"Let me tell you this, if the family property is taken away, you won't be able to keep your dowry. Everyone in our business is ours. If Xiao Xuan really inherits the family business in the future and becomes involved with your second grandfather and the others, all the people here will have to be replaced. Even if the people in your shop are not replaced, your supply of goods and transportation team will not be as good as they are now. Don't think it's too simple!" Xiao Zongshan looked at Xiao Lan with disdain.

"If you only see the petty gains in front of you, how can you be capable of shouldering the great responsibility!" Mrs. Xiao looked at everyone with disdain.

"You didn't teach me business, so what's the point of rushing around now?" Xiao Lan recalled her past. The two elders had indeed given her no business advice. Besides teaching her how to read and write, they'd taught her to serve her parents-in-law, be devoted to her husband's family, and follow the Three Obediences and Four Virtues.

"Now this Second Aunt has really made up her mind, is she really going to register this bastard as her own?" Madam Xiao picked up a sweet-scented osmanthus chestnut, peeled it for a long time, and handed it to Xiao Lan. Xiao Lan was stunned, not knowing whether to take it or not. He raised his eyes and glanced at Madam Xiao, who was signaling with her eyes, as if saying, "I peeled it for you, and you don't want it!"

Xiao Lan took it silently and put it in her mouth.

"Just picking anyone under your name and calling him the legitimate son? Then the Xiao family would have fallen apart long ago. You're just using this method to make trouble!" Xiao Zongshan stood up straight, walked to Xiao Lan, and pressed his hand hard on her shoulder.

"Don't worry, as long as you can conceive a son now, I will definitely protect this family property for you!"

Xiao Lan was becoming increasingly confused by these parents! They were indifferent to her life or death, and would always blame Xiao Lan when problems arose. Yet, they acted as if they were working for their children's well-being, wishing only for their daughter to have a good life.

"Are you telling me to go out and find someone to get pregnant?" Xiao Lan sneered. Are these two people crazy?

"As long as Sun Shaohua recognizes him, he will be your legitimate son! You don't have to worry about anything else. Want to bring in a bastard? I'll make sure he doesn't have any offspring!"
