My husband is pure and has few desires, but I gave birth to three children in a row

The old marquis finally gave in.

Except for Fu Zhijian and the old marquis, everyone else present breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally I agree.

The Second Master struck while the iron was hot: "Old Master, since we are dividing the family, we can't just send out the Third Brother's branch, right? Otherwise, what will it look like to outsiders? They might think that we kicked the Third Brother out because we saw Brother Yi offended His Majesty."

"Who knows, those villains might even grumble behind our backs about how cunning we are, how we act according to the wind, and how we disregard family affection!"

"Why not separate our second branch and tell everyone that Brother Jian has inherited the title and that we uncles have taken the initiative to move out? That way it won't be noticeable and sounds better, don't you think?"

The old marquis was not senile yet. After hearing what the second elders said, he thought about it and immediately understood that the second elder had probably been thinking about dividing the family for a long time.

For a moment, the whole person became depressed.

How unpopular is he as an elder that his sons and grandsons all want to separate from the family and live on their own?

How come this mansion raised them with all their wealth and luxury, but they don't remember the kindness at all, and instead created hatred among them?

Looking at the second master's calmness but unable to conceal his nervousness and anticipation.

The old marquis's anger suddenly subsided.

Let them be! He worked so hard for this family, but no one appreciated it.

Then let them see how difficult their lives will be after the family splits up without the protection of the Marquis’ Mansion!

Even if they came back to beg him in tears, he would not show any mercy.

The old marquis, who had figured it out, looked at the second master quietly for a long time, until the hairs on the second master's back stood up. He pinched his thigh nervously and didn't retreat.

Because he knew that if he couldn't take this opportunity to separate from the family with the third branch, he might not be able to do so decently if he wanted to separate in the future.

The only chance must not be lost in his hands.

Facing the old marquis's gaze, the second master held on.

The old marquis spoke calmly after a while: "If that's the case, then divide it all! Divide it and you'll have peace!"

With the old man's words, and the impatience of the second, third and first wives' old man.

The division of the family was progressing rapidly and in an orderly manner.

Within five days, the old marquis summoned everyone to Ruixuan Hall, including the master of the third house and the elders of the clan.

Without further ado, he got straight to the point: "A tree grows and branches out, and people grow and branch out. Now that Brother Jian has become a marquis, it's a bit inappropriate for his uncles from the other two families to still live in the mansion! Let's just split up the family and let them go on their own."

The clan had already agreed to this, and now it was just a formality. Therefore, when the old marquis said this, several elders of the clan cooperated very enthusiastically.

"That's right! Even though we, as elders, want our children to be around us, they are all grown up after all, so it's only right that we separate the family."

"Yes, I see everyone is getting along well. There's no quarrel over the division of the family. This is the sign of a prosperous family."

……

After some flattery, we got down to business.

The first wife is the eldest son and has inherited the title. According to the court laws, all the sacrificial fields of the marquis's mansion belong to the first wife, and he should get 70% of the family property.

However, the old marquis didn't know whether he had a change of heart or wanted to shut up the second and third wives, but he also agreed with the eldest master and Fu Zhijian that 60% of the family property would go to the eldest wife, and the second and third wives would each get 20% of the remaining 40%.

The private property of the old marquis and the old lady are not included in this list.

After the old marquis and the old lady pass away, the private property will be divided equally among the three wives.

With this division of the family property, everyone in the third branch was quite satisfied, except for Fu Zhiming, who was somewhat dissatisfied as he felt that he had received 10% too much.

At least once it was said, no one objected.

The account books and other things have been sorted out long ago.

The 60% portion is placed aside separately, it belongs to the eldest wife.

The remaining two parts look similar and belong to the second and third rooms.

"The two shares contain about the same amount of property and money. You can decide which one you want."

"Apart from the people your wives brought as dowry, you can also take away the servants in the mansion who you are used to."

"All furnishings in each room belong to each room."

"Once you have selected the candidates, give the list to Brother Jian's daughter-in-law, and then take the indenture. Is there anything else you want to add?" The old marquis asked after glancing around the entire room.

No one added.

Two piles of account books were placed there, for the second and third wives to choose from.

The second master pointed to one pile at random, and the remaining pile belonged to the third room.

Each of them held the account book in front of them and took a look.

It's true that the Marquis's family is quite wealthy. After all, it has been accumulated over several generations, and there are also dowries from several generations of daughters-in-law, which is indeed quite a lot.

The third room only got 20%, but it also had two courtyards, one with three entrances and one with two entrances, and the locations were both good.

As for the farm, it was divided into three parts, some large and some small, with thousands of acres of fertile land, several mountains and forests, and four shops.

In addition, there are gold, silver, various treasures, calligraphy and paintings, antiques and the like.

Together they amount to tens of thousands.

These things had already been copied and placed separately in the warehouse.

Just wait for each room to check and confirm everything, then take it away.

Everyone took a quick look and found nothing wrong, and the old man would not tamper with it at this time.

So I accepted it with confidence and planned to go back and take a closer look.

Since everyone had no objection, the division list had already been written. After everyone checked it and confirmed it was correct, they signed and sealed it.

This family is divided.

All that was left was for the second and third bedrooms to pack up their things and move out when the time came.

The old marquis held his breath and invited the elders of the clan to the yard to eat and talk.

The second and third wives said goodbye one after another, going back to inspect the things they had obtained from the division, to take inventory of their own private warehouses, and to select personnel for the subsequent division.

There is no time to spare.

Not to mention that Lan, Lu Zhenzhen and Fu Zhiyi were all very busy, even the third master was assigned a task.

Go to the warehouse to check the gold, silver, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, antiques and other items on the list.

Although the third master is a playboy, I heard that he was quite knowledgeable about bronzes, stones and antiques when he was young, which is in line with his expertise.

With him around, the warehouse staff won't be able to pass off inferior goods as good ones.

Feeling that he had received an important task, the third master immediately rushed to the warehouse to argue with people.

The mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and Fu Zhiyi are discussing where to move out.

Although the two houses we were allocated are in good locations, we still need to send someone to check them out. No one has lived in them for many years, so they probably need to be renovated before we can move in.

Lan remembered that she had a courtyard as a dowry, which was not far from the Lan family, just across an alley. It was a courtyard with two entrances and a small garden, which was perfect for the whole family to live in.

Moreover, there are people taking care of it on a daily basis, so you can move in after just a little decoration.

I can move out of the Marquis' Mansion early and be closer to the Lan family.

When this idea was mentioned, Lu Zhenzhen and Fu Zhiyi had no objection, and the three of them decided on the spot to live in the courtyard that came as a dowry with Lan's family.

Someone was sent to clean up the mess on the spot.
