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

Chapter 106 The Truth

Aren't they vying to be the head of the family? That's fine. Anyway, everyone outside knows that they are the head of the Marquis' Mansion.

Old Madam Shao held her breath.

Mr. Shao was unwilling to endure it any longer, and roared, "Stop talking nonsense here. Why are you pretending to be confused when you know the truth? Everyone knows that the old man doesn't like my mother and us and has always been partial to your eldest branch. The public palace is just an empty shell. The old man has already given all the property, valuable things, and profitable industries to your eldest branch! We are all the old man's bloodline, why is he so partial? Why! Why!"

Mr. Shao's chest heaved as he glared at Shao Xun fiercely, his face twisted and gritting his teeth.

If Shao Xun had not been protected by secret guards since he was a child, he would have killed Shao Xun long ago. He was unwilling to accept this!

Lin Yulan's eyes flashed, and she suddenly realized something. No wonder.

No wonder the second uncle has always disliked Shao Xun and rarely met them on weekdays. He probably thought that out of sight, out of mind.

So it was because the late Marquis was partial to me?

But, doesn’t he know why the late marquis is so partial?

Shao Xun sneered, mocking him: "Second uncle always talks about filial piety every time he sees me, and he keeps accusing me of this. Second uncle himself seems to be a bad person. Grandfather has been dead for a long time, is it appropriate for second uncle to say such things? This is extremely unfilial!"

"Shut up! Stop doing these useless things to me!" Mr. Shao became more and more angry and sneered viciously: "Is it not allowed for people to say that the old man is partial? Not to mention that he is not here now, even if he was still here, I would say the same thing in front of him."

"So it seems that my second uncle had already said this to my grandfather when he was still alive?"

"..."

As soon as Shao Xun saw his reaction, he knew that what he said was right, and sneered: "It seems that Second Uncle did not make Grandfather change his mind. In other words, Grandfather must have his reasons for doing this. In this case, we, as the younger generation, must listen to Grandfather's teachings. Second Uncle, you should take care of yourself."

"you you!"

Mr. Shao was so angry that he stared at Shao Xun with a resentful look, "Bah, what a bullshit! It's just that the old man is partial. The old man only has his eyes on the eldest branch of the family born from his first wife, and he just looks down on our second branch!"

"Second Master!" Madam Shao, who had been silent and had a cold face, interrupted Second Master Shao angrily: "Are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Mother, why do you have to stop me? Everyone knows——"

"Still talking?"

"Why not—"

"shut up!"

Old Madam Shao was really angry. Second Master Shao opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to disobey his mother in person, so he had to shut up in dismay. He glared at Shao Xun and Lin Yulan fiercely.

Madam Shao said slowly, "Your uncle was confused and said some nonsense. He didn't mean it. Don't take it to heart. Don't mention it again after you leave this door. If outsiders know about it, it won't be a good thing. Do you understand?"

Shao Xun sneered: "Don't worry, old lady. As she said, it would be embarrassing to tell others. It would be embarrassing for our ancestors. Who would tell others about it?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Shao glared at her fiercely again and almost jumped up, causing Mrs. Shao to stop her sharp gaze.

Madam Shao also thought Shao Xun's words were unpleasant to the ear, so she pretended not to hear the sarcasm behind his words, "Okay, it's okay, you can go back."

Lin Yulan: "I think my second uncle and second aunt are still discussing Sister Xin's dowry with the old lady. As the younger generation, we will not interfere. I will take my leave now."

"Humph!"

Mrs. Fu sneered unwillingly and couldn't help but sarcastically said, "My niece-in-law has made so much money by turning stones into gold. As a sister-in-law, don't be too stingy when you add dowry to our Xin'er, otherwise it won't sound good if others tell others about it."

Lin Yulan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Second Aunt."

When it comes to face, who would give others something to hold against them?

Lin Yulan and Shao Xun left together. On the way, Lin Yulan asked Shao Xun a few questions in a roundabout way and was very surprised to find that Shao Xun knew nothing about the past between Old Madam Shao and the late Marquis.

In her previous life, she, an outsider, had heard a lot of things, so how come he, an insider, knew nothing?

Thinking about it again, this matter is not a glorious thing after all, so it is normal that the old marquis did not mention it to the younger generation. As for the marquis's mansion, not many people know about it.

The late Marquis and his wife might have known about it, but since it involved their elders, they were not in a position to mention it to their son Shao Xun. Then they passed away, so they couldn't mention it even if they wanted to.

Lin Yulan thought about it and felt that she should still remind Lord Shao.

After returning to his room, Shao Xun was still very angry and complained. Lin Yulan followed his words and said, "I overheard something in the Rongguo Mansion, and I think it's better to mention it to the Marquis."

Shao Xun became interested and asked hurriedly what was going on.

Lin Yulan: "...I heard that there seems to be some secret behind the marriage between our old lady and the late marquis...it seems that the late marquis originally did not intend to marry a second wife, and the old lady used some tricks to force the late marquis to marry her...I don't know if it's true or not."

Shao Xun was stunned. "You-do you remember who said that?"

As soon as Lin Yulan saw his reaction, she knew that she had guessed right: he really knew nothing.

This was originally a fabricated excuse, how could she remember it? Fortunately, she had just entered the social circle of the rich and powerful, so it was normal for her not to know anyone.

Lin Yulan shook her head. "I didn't see who it was because of the sparse branches, and I couldn't tell who it was from the voice. I was so scared at the time that I didn't dare to go forward to take a closer look."

Shao Xun nodded slightly in shock, "It's okay, just forget it if you don't remember. It's normal that you didn't dare to step forward."

Who wouldn't be shocked to hear such news?

Shao Xun sighed, "No wonder..."

No wonder the old lady always looked down upon their eldest son. After his parents passed away, she looked at her grandson from all sides and felt disgusted with him, wishing to get rid of him as soon as possible.

He always felt it was very strange. Even if the old lady was his second wife, he still respectfully called her grandmother. She was also an old noble in the Marquis' Mansion. Why did she hate him to this extent?

Is it just to seize the title?

I always feel that it’s not like that.

But he couldn't think of any other reason.

After all, which younger generation would make unwarranted speculations regarding matters involving the privacy of their ancestors?

It turned out that her grandfather didn't like her, and she took out all her anger on the eldest son...

"If it weren't for Madam, I really wouldn't know anything about this!"
