Qingyou didn't speak when she saw the barbecued pork buns.

So he said: "You are so hesitant, does it mean that Shi Lingqiao's position in your heart is just that, compared to the position of the son of the eldest son, she is still inferior."

Huo Jiwen was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately retorted, "No, Lingqiao is better than the son of the eldest son in my heart."

Qingyou showed a look of being beaten, and asked with a trembling voice: "So what is your choice?"

Seeing this, Huo Jiwen guessed that this was a threat deliberately made by his mother to prevent him from marrying Lingqiao.

He is her only son, and also his father's only son. If he does not inherit this duke's mansion, who is qualified?
He gritted his teeth after thinking for a moment, "I agree not to be the son of the eldest son."

This time he went on a hunger strike, and my mother gave up in pain even if she was angry.

Then it would be impossible to really remove his position as the son of the world.

Even if it was really to scare him away from the throne, it would be the same for him to directly inherit the Duke's Mansion in the future.

After all, her mother loves him so much, and has a deep affection for his father, so it is impossible for the Duke's Mansion to have no successors.

That's why he made this choice, because he was sure that his mother would compromise in the end.

Qingyou's body swayed suddenly, obviously hit hard by her son's choice.

Nanny Qi immediately stepped forward to support her, and asked worriedly, "Ma'am, are you alright?"

Qingyou shook her head at her, and said after a while: "I'm fine."

Then she looked at Huo Jiwen and asked, "Are you sure you want to give up your position as the son of the world and the position of the Duke of the State in order to marry Shi Lingqiao?"

Huo Jiwen nodded, "I'm sure."

If he doesn't grasp this point today, it will be even more difficult for him to get his mother to agree to this marriage in the future.

He was too hungry and didn't want to do it again.

Qingyou was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe.

Nanny Qi hurriedly cheered for her, and after she slowed down, she said: "Nizi, you are really hopeless."

Then he ordered, "Come here, get the pen and ink."

The housekeeper tactfully hurried to bring the paper, ink, brush and inkstone.

Qingyou walked to the table, and took a pen to write down the fact that Huo Jiwen voluntarily gave up his position as son and Duke in order to marry Shi Lingqiao.

After finishing writing, he signed his name, handed the pen and paper to the housekeeper, "Bring it to the crown prince to sign."

The butler tremblingly took the pen and paper, and brought it to the bedside.

He didn't expect his wife to come for real.

Compared with Huo Jiwen who was sure that he would not be able to escape as the heir, the housekeeper remembered that there was still a third son of the Huo family in this mansion.

The wife even raised the third master like a son from an early age. After being cruel and cold-hearted by the son, it is not impossible to give the position of heir to the third master.

However, although he had such a guess, he would not say it.

As long as the blood of the Duke's Mansion inherits the position of Duke Zhen, he will be loyal.

Moreover, he could see from this incident that the eldest son was too emotional, and it might lead to defeat after inheriting the Duke's mansion, but the third master was more suitable.

Huo Jiwen took the housekeeper's hand, and after reading what was written on the paper, his face became a bit ugly.

"Mother, write it down and sign it, so you don't need it?"

Although he was sure that his mother would still let him inherit the Duke's Mansion, he didn't want to establish written evidence as proof.

It would be bad if someone else found out about it and brought it up.

Qingyou raised her eyebrows, "If you don't sign it, then don't marry Shi Lingqiao."

Huo Jiwen said unhappily: "Mother, you just want to use this to manipulate me and make me give up marrying Lingqiao?"

He emphasized, "Since I said I chose Lingqiao, I won't regret it."

Qingyou didn't believe him, "Manly man, spit and nail, since you have made a choice and decision, what is there to be afraid of when you write it down?"

"Whether you want to sign now, or get rid of Shi Lingqiao's intentions, it's up to you."

Huo Jiwen was in a hurry and wanted him to choose again. Why did mother force him?
Qingyou saw that his complexion was not good, but she still didn't want to sign.

She said to the steward: "It's fine if the son doesn't sign it, put this piece of paper away, when will he sign it, and when will he marry that lowly woman."

He looked at Huo Jiwen again and said, "After half a year, if you still don't sign the contract, then I will assume by default that you have repented and will never want to marry that woman again. I will arrange a new marriage for you."

"Although with your current reputation, you can no longer marry a noble girl, but I believe that if our Duke's Mansion wants to marry an innocent girl from a small family, there should still be someone who is willing."

Huo Jiwen: "..." Who is he looking down on? Why can't he marry a noble girl?
His mother belittled him like that.

No, that's not the point.

He took a deep breath and asked, "Mother, since you are willing to let me marry a girl from a small family, why don't you let me marry Lingqiao? She is also a rich lady."

Qingyou's face was full of disdain, "Although she was born into a small family, she is not an innocent woman."

Huo Jiwen: "..."

After Qingyou choked Huo Jiwen, she waved to him in a good mood, "Okay, I'll let the butler prepare some food for you later, I'll go back to the yard first."

As if he was certain that Huo Jiwen would not sign, Shi Lingqiao would not be able to enter.

When Huo Jiwen saw his mother turn around and leave, he was really going to be driven crazy.

Afraid that she would really leave, he hurriedly said, "I'll sign it, can I sign it?"

He can procrastinate, but Lingqiao can't.

Because of the teahouse, he has already brought her into bad reputation. If he doesn't marry her quickly, he doesn't know how many rumors and rumors she will endure, and he is reluctant.

And since he didn't sign it all the time, his mother might go to help him arrange a marriage again, so he would vomit blood.

Anyway, he is determined to marry Lingqiao, so let's sign it.

After marrying someone into the family, he and Ling Qiao will be filial to his mother, make her happy, and then coax this document into his hands and burn it.

When Qingyou heard this, she turned around and looked at him with a gloomy face, and asked coldly, "Are you sure?"

Huo Jiwen felt guilty and uncomfortable being looked at by his mother's sharp gaze, but that's right.

His mother just used these to make decisions, and didn't want him to marry Lingqiao.

So he was relieved, bit the bullet and said: "Sure."

Qingyou gritted her teeth and said, "Then you sign."

Huo Jiwen forced himself to support half of his body, took the pen from the housekeeper, and signed his name on the paper.

After he finished signing, the housekeeper handed the paper to Qingyou respectfully.

Qingyou stared at the paper in a daze, looking as if she had been hit again, but she was actually waiting for the ink on the paper to dry.

Seeing his mother's appearance, Huo Jiwen couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

But this is his future happiness, and he doesn't want to compromise with anyone, including his own mother.

After a while, when the ink was dry, Qingyou reached out and folded the paper and stuffed it into her sleeve.

Seeing his mother come back to his senses, Huo Jiwen tried to ask: "Mother, will you be able to go to Shifu to propose marriage in two days?"

Qingyou snorted coldly, "You are the one who wants to marry her, not me, how to propose marriage and marry someone to come in, you can do whatever you want, I won't care."

Then he said to Huo Jiwen with eyes full of disappointment: "You gave up your family business and mother for Shi Lingqiao today, and you must never regret it in the future."

"Do it yourself."

Then she helped Nanny Qi out of the bedroom, as if she didn't want to look at the son again, which meant she was cold-hearted.
