Wanqingsi

Chapter 209

"Children?" I lost my voice, and my heart became more and more surprised, "I don't understand, Grandpa." What benefits can we gain from letting the Yun family have no descendants?What's more, when Yunzheng was murdered, his father Yunyi was still alive, and he had just taken a beautiful concubine, and he might give birth to more children in the future. Why would he cruelly harm a newborn baby?

"Grandpa told you one thing, and you will understand." The old man coughed and gasped, "After the ancestor of the Yun family was conferred the title of Marquis of Yongle by the founding emperor, he made his eldest son the eldest son, but at the same time made a According to the ancestral precepts, no matter how many generations the title of Marquis is passed down from the eldest family, if the eldest family has no male heirs, the eldest son of the second family and one lineage will succeed to the throne..."

I understood immediately, and at the same time as I understood, a chill ran down my spine.No wonder Yun's family has not had many offspring from generation to generation. It turns out that this is the root cause of Yun's family's lack of offspring. With this ancestral precept, the offshoots of the Yun family can openly covet the title of Marquis of Yongle, and Wanting to take over the real power of the Yun family, if a person keeps burning with such greed in his heart, what evil can't he do?In my previous life, did I not see much of the big family fighting for property and power?Even if it took the lives of a few cousins, what was it?
"How could the ancestors of the Yun family set such a rule back then?" I swallowed hard and said with difficulty, "Isn't this the root cause of brother-in-law killing and brother-in-law fighting for future generations?"

"This is the brilliance of the ancestors of the Yun family." I didn't expect the old man to say this, I stared at him with wide eyes, and the old man said expressionlessly, "This rule has the hidden dangers you mentioned, but it makes the Yun family The method to retain the most elite bloodline. It is difficult to start a business, and it is even more difficult to keep a business. How many rich families have you seen that can be prominent for three generations? In the Yun family, the title of Marquis of Yongle has been handed down to this Marquis. It is already the third generation, but the family business is growing bigger and more prosperous. Later generations are always full of crisis awareness, if your own ability is not strong enough, if you don’t have the ability to keep everything you have, you may be replaced at any time.”

I stared blankly at the old man, shook my head and said, "But it's too cruel to treat the descendants in this way. Doesn't the descendant who is not strong have the qualifications to live well?"

The old man smiled coldly, and said indifferently: "That's natural. If the head of the family can stand out from all kinds of conspiracies and tricks, he will naturally have the ability to keep the family business. If the head of the house is not capable enough, it is only natural that the second house will succeed him if he is designed by the second house. No matter who comes to guard this family business, they are all descendants of the Yun family, and they are the most capable descendants of the Yun family."

Such cruel words came out of the old man's mouth as a matter of course, and I felt chills in my heart. Did the ancestors of the Yun family want offspring of a group of wolf cubs who had no affection at all?Is a family business as important as the life and happiness of future generations?I gritted my teeth and said word by word: "Grandpa, do you mean that Yunzheng was harmed by members of the Yun family? Yunzheng has no ability to save his own life, so he deserves his death, right?"

I glared at him viciously, and almost roared out the last sentence.Tears flowed down uncontrollably, if the old man dared to say that, I would definitely slap him.

The old man lowered his eyelids, the corners of his eyes twitched, and said in a deep voice, "Zheng'er was killed because I was incompetent and I failed to protect him well."

I fiercely wiped away the tears on my cheeks, and said bitterly: "Who the hell killed Yun Zheng?" I wished I could dig that one out of the grave and flog the corpse.Since the old man guessed that it was the person from the Second Household, it was impossible for him not to pursue it back then, and that person might have been torn to pieces by the old man long ago.

The old man was silent for a moment, then sighed heavily: "It's Tianqi."

Tian Qi?Yun Tianqi?I froze for a moment before remembering who he was.Yun Tianqi is the eldest son of his cousin Yun Chongling, and Yun Xiangrong's father, who counts as Yun Zheng's uncle, has been dead for 20 years. The family tree of the Yun family records that he died of illness. When he died, he His wife had just become pregnant with Yun Xiangrong.People in the Yun family seldom mentioned this cousin, so he actually killed Yun Zheng?
"It's him?" I was stunned.No wonder last time I mentioned that the Empress Dowager intends to make Xiangrong a queen, the old man's reaction was so cold, no wonder that after Xiangrong entered the palace, the old man ignored him, presumably the old man didn't want the second wife to have a queen and become a powerful queen, so why did the old man How about handing over the business of the Yun family to the people in the second room?Over the years, the long house has almost been passed down in one line, but the second house is just the opposite. After these generations, it has flourished and subdivided into countless side branches.Yun Tianhai, the water transport deacon, is the second son of Yun Chongling, the weaving deacon, and Yun Tianchang, the mine deacon, is the son of Yun Chongling's deceased elder brother, Yun Chongfeng. Now that he knew about Erfang's ambitions, why would he entrust so much business to them?What is the mystery here?After thinking about it carefully, I realized that something was wrong. Although the elders of the second room were all deacons, the accountant was directly appointed by the old man, and for many years, they had spent such a large amount of mysterious expenses from various incomes every month. The deacons didn't know what they were doing, but I didn't see a few deacons express any dissatisfaction. Could it be that the deacons were just empty shells whose power was emptied by the old man, and the real strength of the Yun family could not be touched at all?Is this the old man's revenge on the second room?Or is it a matter of business, even if the Yunzheng incident does not happen, the second room will be suppressed?
"Hmm..." The old man closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to continue this topic, looking very tired.I was still waiting to ask, but the old man waved his hand and said, "I'll let Yunde tell you the details. I'm a little tired, so go back."

Seeing the old man's expression, I swallowed my questioning words.How did Yun Tianqi collude with Maha?And how to get Qi Luo to descend to Yun Zheng?The mastermind of the descending case is dead, and Qi Luo is also dead. If I want revenge, I can only find that Maha?After all these years, the old man has never found that guy?The old man knows my character, and he will never give up until he finds out. If he doesn't want to talk about it, then I'll ask Yunde.

I stood up, glanced at the old man, and said calmly: "Grandpa, will my Nuo'er have the same fate as Yun Zheng?"

The old man suddenly opened his eyes, with a look of anger flashing in his eyes: "I won't make the same mistake again, and you don't have to worry about Nuo'er's safety."

I believe that the old man must have made a lot of arrangements for Nuoer's safety, but if the people in the second bedroom have even the slightest idea of ​​my Nuoer... I sneered: "Grandpa, the person who killed Zheng, I must pay for his life." If the people in the second bedroom are the source of my Nuoer's life, then destroy this spring. The Yun family has too many offshoots, and I, Nuoer, don't need so many relatives. Without the second bedroom, there is no threat."

"Girl..." The old man stared at me with big eyes, as if he had never known me before, his eyes were unpredictable.I lowered my eyelids, bowed my body, turned and walked out.
