In the past, the second wife, Qin, could help the first wife with some matters. But now that Hu has become the marquis' wife and the most legitimate director, it is difficult for her to interfere.

She originally thought that she and Hu were relatives after all, and she wanted to hold on to power for a while.

The second master saw it clearly and mentioned it to the second wife, who then readily handed over all the matters in her hands.

Every day he either went to see Sun's fetus or came to Lan to kill time.

With the old marquis, the old lady and the eldest lady in charge, the transfer of power in the marquisate was relatively smooth.

However, the situation of the second and third houses in the mansion has become a little more awkward than before.

Although Mrs. Hu's provision for the second and third wives remained the same as before, it just felt a bit awkward because someone else was in charge, and he was a generation younger than her.

The Second Wife and Mrs. Lan have secretly complained about this issue several times.

The two families' current thinking is that since the title has been decided, it can be given to the grandson bypassing the eldest master.

Can we just divide the family at the same time?

Anyway, the old marquis and the old lady will definitely be living in the marquis' mansion, so it would be good if they were more self-aware and moved out and didn't get involved in the affairs of this mansion.

Who doesn’t want to be the master of their own house?

Now that I live in the marquis's mansion, I have to look after my nephew and his wife. Who would be happy about that?

The second master was originally indifferent. After all, his words carried little weight in the mansion, and the old marquis would not listen to him.

After the second wife Qin complained several times, the second master Fu Zhizhuo also had the same idea.

If the three of them get together, the possibility of the second room coming forward is very slim.

But what if the third room is involved?

Especially since the third master has stopped hanging out recently, his words and deeds are still not very reliable.

But we can use him to stimulate the old marquis, maybe he can get him to agree?

Although the hope is not great, how can we know if we will succeed if we don’t try?

So the second master took a pot of wine and went to find the third master.

The two brothers drank in the study all night, and by the end they were almost all complaining.

The second master said that he had always been ignored and the old marquis had never looked at him straight in the eye for so many years.

The third master cried and said that he had been harmed by the old marquis and the old lady all his life. Now he and his wife were alienated, his son did not take him seriously, and he was left alone.

When they talked about the touching parts, the two brothers hugged each other and cried bitterly.

After waking up from crying, the second master said, now the nephew is in charge of the house, how can an uncle stay in his nephew's house and not leave?

It’s okay as long as the time is short, and the face is still acceptable.

If time goes on, I'm afraid people will dislike me.

He complained a few more times, saying that ever since Fu Zhijian became the Marquis, the servants in the mansion have not been as dedicated as before in serving.

If they still don't know what's good for them, will they be kicked out in the future?

It is also said that Fu Zhiyi has now been seen by the emperor himself, and good days are yet to come.

Now the Marquis' Mansion can't give Fu Zhiyi any help, and it seems that Fu Zhiming hasn't given up yet. If the brothers fight in the future, they might be implicated.

The second branch of their family didn't care, but if they implicated Fu Zhiyi and ruined his future, it would be too late to regret it.

These words made the third master sweat profusely on his back.

He immediately said that it was impossible, as he was relying on this son for his whole life and he couldn't let him be dragged down.

Score the house! Score it now!

Before he sobered up, he went straight to the old marquis's yard. As soon as he entered, he said straight to the point: "I want to divide the family——"

The old marquis, who had just gotten up early to practice boxing in the yard, almost sprained his waist.

"What do you say?"

"I said I want to divide the family! Old man, don't pretend that you can't hear me? I want to divide the family--" The third master almost shouted.

"You rebellious son! What's wrong with you about life in the mansion now? Why are you making a fuss about dividing the family? Brother Yi has just been appointed an official, and this is a critical moment. Don't make a fuss." The old marquis was so angry that he picked up a stick and was about to hit the third master.

The third master ran around the yard, trying to prevent the old marquis from getting hit.

While shouting, "Before, you were the head of this mansion. You were the father, and we were the sons. It was only natural for us to live here! But now, Brother Jian is the head of this mansion. How can an uncle live in his nephew's house?"

"Wouldn't it be a joke if we told others about it? It's better for us to take the initiative to split up the family than to be kicked out by our nephew's wife in the future, right?"

"I know you favor the eldest wife, your eldest grandson. But you've given him the entire Marquisate. Can you at least give us a way out?"

"Old man, are you so poor that you don't even have two houses to house your sons? Or are you just too reluctant to give them all away? Do you have to leave them all to your eldest grandson?"

"If it really doesn't work out, I can also live in the house that Lan gave me as a dowry. I'm not afraid of being embarrassed! As long as I can divide the family property!"

……

The old marquis was old after all. After chasing the third master twice, he could not catch up and dropped his stick, panting.

With his hands on his hips, he gasped and cursed the Third Master: "Don't even think about it! As long as I am alive, this family will not be broken up!"

The Third Master stood still, very impatient: "Old Master, you are being so unkind! If you let us split up, we would definitely pray for your longevity every day. But you insist on forcing us not to split up. We may not say it out loud, but we are definitely blaming you in our hearts. Are you willing to do that?"

I'm almost saying it directly, "Don't make us curse you to die early at home every day, okay?"

The old marquis was furious. "What do you want to say, you unfilial thing? You want to curse me to die early, right?"

The Third Master naturally refused to admit it. "I didn't say that, old man, please don't talk nonsense! Now the eldest brother has been accused of being unfilial because of the title you passed on to Brother Jian. Don't go too far and ruin the reputation of your two uncles for Brother Jian, right?"

"Grandpa, we are your biological sons after all, not adopted ones, right? Can't you share a little of your love for your eldest son and grandson?"

The old marquis flew into a rage. "How have I ever treated you badly? From childhood to adulthood, I've provided you with fine clothes and delicious food. Have I ever treated you unfairly? I've spent a ton of money on you. Didn't I say that? And now you're picking on me?"

The Third Master refused to give in. "Old Master, what you said is true. Even if you don't give birth to us brothers, don't you still have to give birth to other children? Are you not going to raise other children? Besides, we didn't say we were disrespectful to you, did we? We just asked you not to be so biased, isn't that right?"

The old marquis was so angry at his youngest son that he almost vomited blood: "I am partial? Who am I partial to? Don't you know what's going on?"

The third master curled his lips and said, "Who are you always partial to? Don't you know what's going on?"

The old marquis almost had a heart attack: "Get out of here! Get away! I'm getting annoyed just by seeing you! I won't talk about dividing the family anymore!"

Before the third master could say something, he heard hurried footsteps outside.

Fu Shan, his usually calm face, rushed in with a look of panic. "Old Master, this is bad! News has come from the palace that the Fourth Master has neglected his duties before the Emperor. His Majesty is furious and has dismissed him on the spot. He has been ordered to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors!"
