Chapter 206
Lu Ze, the second son of the county lord of Chang'an, heard the news of his father's disappearance. Although he was sad on the surface, in fact, there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart.

From the outsiders' point of view, the Duke of Zhen's mansion is one of two kingdoms, with a prominent family background, but Lu Ze is not very happy about it.It's because although the family has the title of Duke, this title has nothing to do with him.

From the moment he was born, he had an elder brother who was better than him in every aspect on top of him. No matter how well he did, the world would only see Lu Chengting in the eyes of the world.

From childhood to adulthood, what he heard most was praise for his elder brother, and the more he heard, the more envious and jealous he became in his heart.

Originally, in this life, he could only live under the halo of his elder brother, but now, he sees a different future.

First, the grandfather was poisoned and paralyzed in bed, and then the eldest brother fell off the cliff and was gnawed beyond recognition by wild animals. Now the father is missing and his life and death are unknown.

As the second son of his father, he can only inherit the heir of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion in the future. This mansion bestowed by the emperor belongs to him, and the title of the Duke of the Kingdom naturally also belongs to him.

As long as he thinks that he will be the Duke of Zhen Guo's Mansion in the future, he can't help being ecstatic in his heart.It won't be long before the world will forget his eldest brother, Lu Chengting, and remember Lu Ze, the Duke of his mansion.

Hearing the news that the Duke was missing and his life was unknown, the Lord Chang'an fell ill.

Lu Ze was kind to his mother, seeing her sad, he asked all the servant girls to step down, and then comforted her, "Mother, don't worry, even if father disappears, you still have me.

Mother, didn't you always want me to inherit the crown prince of the Duke's Mansion?Now my grandfather is paralyzed in bed, and my elder brother is dead. From now on, I will be the heir of the duke's mansion, and I can only inherit the duke's title in the future..."

After hearing his son's words, Chang'an county master immediately reacted.

That's right, that bastard is dead, and the heir of the Duke's Mansion will belong to her son from now on.Even if the husband is missing, so what, when the old Duke dies, the title of the Duke will not belong to her son, and this house will all belong to her son.

Having figured it out, the sadness in Chang'an county master's heart disappeared without a trace, and the smiles on the faces of the mother and son could not be suppressed.

Xu Shi knew that no one else could take away everything in the Duke's Mansion in the future. The Chang'an County Lord was in a good mood and got up from the bed the next day.

Make arrangements for Lu Chengting and Xiao Jinyue's funeral.

Unknowing outsiders praised this one after another, saying that the stepmother Mrs. Guogong is a very good person, and her husband disappeared and died.
His death was unknown, but he still suppressed his grief and made arrangements for the dead Lu Chengting and Xiao Jinyue.

On the other side, the sick Mrs. Tai called the second master Lu Jianqi over, and then waved away the maid who was waiting beside her, and then said to him, "Qi'er, take care of Brother Ting's funeral. Don't worry about it." Leave it to the servants to do it, and if you can do it yourself, you should do more."

Hearing what his mother said, the second master didn't take it seriously, thinking that his mother called him over to discuss some important matter.The nephew's funeral is handled by his own sister-in-law, and there are servants from the whole house, so there is no need for him to do anything.

Mrs. Tai knew what he was thinking with just one glance, and sighed in her heart, her son is good at everything, even this thought is too simple, and she still can't see the situation in the mansion clearly.

In fact, she was also to blame. Since she was a child, in order not to make people suspicious, she never revealed her thoughts to him, let alone taught him to compete with others for anything.

It was a good thing that her son didn't know what was going on in her heart.But now I have to tell him so that he can know what he should do in the future.

Mrs. Tai took a deep breath, and directly expressed her thoughts, "Qi'er, now your father is paralyzed in bed, your eldest brother is missing, and his life and death are unknown. Someone must inherit the title of the Duke's Mansion. I plan to wait for Brother Ting's funeral." After that, I will pass the booklet to the emperor, and ask him to make you the Duke of the state and inherit your father's title."

Hearing this, the second master was astonished, and his eyes widened in surprise.

The second master blurted out, "Mother, do you have a fever, are you confused?"

His first reaction was, did his mother lose his mind after being stimulated by the news of his eldest brother's disappearance?

Mrs. Tai gave him an annoyed look, "I'm in good health."

The second master was puzzled, "Mother, since you're not delusional, why are you talking nonsense?"

"Where did I say nonsense?"

The second master still had a skeptical expression on his face. Since her mother is not confused, how can she ask him to be named Duke.

"Mother, although brother Ting is dead, elder brother just disappeared, he didn't disappear to say that he is dead. Why did you think of asking for a title? Besides, even if elder brother died, the title should still belong to Brother Ze Inherit!"

The second master has always known that the title of the Duke's Mansion belongs to his elder brother.His eldest brother has two sons, even if he dies, the title will still belong to his sons.

Although Brother Ting, who is the eldest son, is dead now, his elder brother still has a second son, Lu Ze.

It stands to reason that the title of Duke's Mansion will be inherited by Lu Ze in the future.

The second master knew since he was a child that he has a very outstanding elder brother, and he owns the title of Duke's Mansion.The eldest nephew is the son of the eldest son, he has been outstanding since he was a child, and he will definitely be a very outstanding Duke in the future.

No matter how round the title of the head room is, it will not be his turn.

The second master knew this very well, so he never had any thoughts about the title of the Duke's Mansion since he was a child.

Mrs. Tai took a deep look at him, and said directly, "Brother Ze is still young, he can't bear the title of the Duke's Mansion. Even if he is made a Duke, he can't protect the military power of the Duke's Mansion."

The second master frowned tightly, and there was no trace of joy in his heart.

Although he knew what his mother said was right, if he was made the Duke of the state, it would mean that he had snatched the title from his nephew.

Although the Duke of the State has a great name, it is not pleasant to say it.

What would the world think of such a shameless act of snatching his nephew's title, and how would he gain a foothold in the court in the future?
"Mother, Brother Ze is still young, but he is the eldest brother's son after all, and he should inherit the title of the Duke's Mansion. In fact, at his age, he can take on the responsibilities of the Duke's Mansion. If you are worried about him If you can't hold back the military power, the big deal is that my third brother and I will help him more in the future, and let the generals around Dad teach him more."

Mrs. Tai didn't expect that since his son was not at all interested in the title of the Duke's Mansion, he tried to persuade him for a long time, but the second master still insisted on letting Lu Ze inherit the title.

After the second master left, Nanny Gong comforted Mrs. Tai, "The second master just didn't change his mind for a while, don't worry, give him some time first, he will figure it out."

Mrs. Tai was so angry that she had a headache and began to regret that she had taught her son too purely and kindly.

It doesn't matter if the son can't figure it out, as a mother, she will help him figure it out, and at worst, get rid of another one.

Originally, she didn't want to take this step, but after so many years of planning, she didn't make a wedding dress for others.
