After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

Chapter 25 Why didn’t Big Brother come to ask me

The elders of the clan still felt that it would be better if the Marquis' Mansion was handed over to Ye Yanzhi, and they would feel more at ease.

Lord Ye and the old lady looked a little unhappy. "Isn't it because the second son disagrees?"

"What's there to disagree with? Letting Yanzhi inherit both branches doesn't mean he won't recognize his son. Call him over and we'll talk to him!"

Seeing that the elders still had no intention of agreeing, Lord Ye's expression became stern.

"This is also what the Zhenguogong Mansion meant."

The elder was surprised and disbelieving, "Really? What does the Duke mean?"

Lord Ye nodded calmly, "That's what my father-in-law meant."

The elders hesitated.

After all, the strength of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion is there, and the child was adopted into the Gu family. If the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion does not agree, even if the child is adopted, the request to confer the title of Crown Prince will become futile.

"If this is really what the Duke's Mansion wants, then this is the only way we can do it." The elders sighed with some regret. They looked at Ye Shuwen. Although they didn't know much about this young man, just looking at his current achievements, he was still not as good as Ye Yanzhi.

Lord Ye, the old lady, and Ye Shuwen all looked delighted when they saw that the elders had given in.

"That……"

Just as Lord Ye was about to say something, he saw the door of the ancestral hall being pushed open.

Ye Qingyu walked in with a happy look on her face.

"Qingyu greets all the elders."

Her pretty face was filled with a radiant smile, and her voice was filled with joy. "Grandma, Father, did Second Uncle agree to adopt my eldest cousin into Mother's name? Why didn't you tell me about such a big event? I only found out when my maid went out to buy me some snacks and saw the elders coming."

Ye Qingyu was so happy that she was no longer as dignified as usual, like a little girl who had obtained her beloved thing.

Lord Ye and the old lady didn't expect Ye Qingyu to appear here, and were stunned for a moment.

"Hey, where's my eldest cousin and second uncle? Haven't they arrived yet?" Ye Qingyu asked in confusion.

The elders finally realized what Ye Qingyu meant. "Qingyu, who do you want to adopt under your mother's name?"

Ye Qingyu blinked, looking innocent and naive. "Cousin, didn't father tell you when he invited you here?"

When the elders heard Ye Qingyu's confirmation, their expressions changed instantly.

"My Lord, Mrs. Chen, please explain what's going on. Why did Qingyu say to adopt Yanzhi, but you said to adopt Ye Shuwen?"

The matter was exposed in an instant, and the old lady and Lord Ye became panicked.

Ye Qingyu's smile disappeared, and her expression was full of questioning, "Father, why did you tell the elders about inheriting Ye Shuwen? Didn't you say you would persuade Second Uncle to agree?"

Lord Ye said in a panic, "I, it's not true. Qingyu, listen to your father's explanation. Your second uncle still disagrees."

"Yeah?"

"What do you mean by disagreement? Big brother, why don't you ask me in person?"

A powerful voice came from outside the door, filled with anger.

Second uncle pushed the door open and walked in, followed by the second family.

Seeing the second branch's family arrive, Lord Ye's face became even uglier.

Second Uncle looked at Lord Ye coldly, his resolute face full of coldness, "Brother, if you have anything to say, ask now."

"I……"

The old lady said sternly, "Second brother, who told you to enter the ancestral hall casually? You are a bastard, this is not a place you can come to!"

"He is a descendant of my Ye family, why can't he come in!" The clan elder said angrily to the old lady.

If they still couldn't see at this time that they were almost deceived by this mother and son, he should go to see his ancestors as soon as possible.

"You old shrew, you dare to scold the second brother's family. You and the eldest brother haven't explained to me what you did. Why are you showing off your power as the legitimate mother in front of the second brother?" The clan elder shouted angrily.

The old lady stammered in defense, "Elder, I didn't mean that."

The clan elder slammed the table and said, "I don't care what you mean. You really think I'm old and easy to deceive, right? You tricked me into adopting this kid of unknown origin. Chen, when you were young, you treated the old marquis's illegitimate son harshly. Now the second son's family has not separated for the sake of the old marquis, and has protected your reputation as the legitimate mother. Look at what you have done! You just can't bear to see the second son's son inherit the marquisate, so let the eldest son give birth to a son!"

The clan elder was so angry that his chest was heaving, and the people beside him hurried forward to help him calm down.

The old lady and Lord Ye were scolded so much that they dared not say a word.

Second Uncle said coldly, "So you want to adopt a brother for Qingyu. Why didn't Big Brother ask me? I naturally agreed to adopt Yan'er under Big Sister-in-law's name."

After hearing what the second master said, the elders became even more angry. "Asshole, you didn't even ask the second master, yet you dare to lie to both sides! This is how you act like a marquis, eldest master!"

Ye Qingyu asked coldly, "Father, didn't you say you asked Second Uncle and he disagreed? How could you lie to your daughter!"

"What's so good about Ye Shuwen? You care so much about him. Before, she pretended to be my benefactor, and you didn't blame her. Now she's lying to your daughter just to adopt him as your son."

Ye Yanzhi said coldly, "Yanzhi has never coveted the title of Marquis. If uncle is worried, my second branch can separate from the family."

The second master sneered, "Uncle, since you are here, why don't we separate our second branch today to save our eldest brother from worrying all day long? Humph, I really don't care about this title."

The elder held his forehead and sighed, "Second brother, just say those angry words. If you split up the family, how will outsiders view our Marquisate? It will be laughed at to death. In the future, you and Yanzhi will also be criticized when you serve as officials in the court."

Second Uncle snorted and said nothing more.

The elder looked at Ye Qingyu and asked, "Qingyu, tell me, what exactly is going on?"

Ye Qingyu shook her head, her pretty face filled with sadness. "Qingyu didn't know. I didn't expect things to turn out like this. If I had known, I wouldn't have agreed to adopt any brother. Grandfather said he would only agree to adopt my eldest cousin as my brother. Father, why did you lie to me?"

Lord Ye's face turned pale and he remained silent.

The elder shook his head in disappointment and sighed, "Forget it, now that things have come to this, let's not talk about the adoption anymore. Let's just pretend it never happened."

The elders stood up and prepared to leave this terrible place.

"Wait, uncle, please continue with today's adoption and adopt Shuwen under my name." Lord Ye had a cold face and a commanding tone.

"You still want to continue even after this. Do you know what you are doing? Do you know the consequences of doing this?" The clan elder asked angrily, pointing his crutch at Lord Ye.

Lord Ye said with a cold expression, "Of course I know this. Since I am still the clan leader, I have the final say."
