www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
After running for a day and a night, the group finally arrived at Heyu City.
The third room of the Fang family had already sent people to wait at the city gate, and personally led King Zhennan and others to the Fang Mansion.
The Fang family was divided more than 20 years ago. The rule of the Fang family for three hundred years is that the eldest son inherits the family business, and the remaining houses are usually divided into fields and shops. , so the Fang family's wealth can continue.
Except for the eldest son who inherited the family business and lived in the ancestral home of Heyucheng, most of the other houses have moved to other places, but they are not far from Heyucheng.
But even after moving away, all kinds of news have been reaching their ears continuously for some reason these days.
Fang Chengling suffered a stroke and was bedridden. Fang Shiyu could not suppress the stewards, which caused people to panic. In the end, the prince took charge of the Fang family's property.
This made them ready to take action.
However, because the prince Xiao Yi was in charge, they did not dare to move even though they were interested, and wanted to wait and see what the others would do. Until the day before yesterday, I received letters from Fang Shiyu one after another. The letter said that they should seek justice and not let the property left by the Fang family for generations fall into the hands of people with other surnames.
Naturally, the Fang family would not give up on this step, and came to Heyucheng one after another overnight. Just after arriving at Fang Mansion, before they had a chance to drink tea, they heard that the King of Zhennan was coming. For a while, they couldn't help but think about it, but they thought about it. , or went to greet him respectfully.
Everyone greeted Zhennan Wang and his wife one by one, and exchanged pleasantries with each other.
After a while, King Zhennan looked around, frowned and asked, "Where is the Crown Prince now?"
Fang Chengxun secretly exchanged a look with Fang Shiyu. Fang Shiyu stood up, clasped his fists and replied: "Back to uncle, cousin Yi usually serves his grandfather. My nephew will order his servants to call his cousin. Come here..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a familiar and somewhat casual male voice from outside: "Father, mother, why are you two here too? Are you here to visit my grandfather?"
King Zhennan showed a hint of embarrassment. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had visited Mr. Fang.
Xiao Fang smiled gently and said: "Ayi, mother just heard from your cousin that you have been very dedicated to taking care of your grandfather these days. Mother is very pleased that you have such filial piety."
The King of Zhennan glanced at Xiao Fang with satisfaction and felt that Xiao Fang still understood the righteousness. Although Xiao Yi had done many wrong things, Xiao Fang still wanted to defend Xiao Yi in front of outsiders. reputation. However, Xiao Yi, a rebellious son, never understood his mother's loving heart.
At this time, a middle-aged man of medium height sitting next to Fang Chengxun said: "This is A Yi! He is indeed a talented person. We haven't seen each other for so many years, and those of us who are uncles are almost dead. Got it."
"Yes, yes." The other man nodded in agreement.
Xiao Yi smiled and hugged the two of them: "Second uncle, fifth uncle."
These two people are the eldest sons of the second and fourth brothers of the Fang family respectively. In order of family order, they are the second master Fang Chengde and the fifth master Fang Chengzhi.
Xiao Yi met Li one by one with the Fang family present. Although they all came with their own thoughts, they were still very affectionate during the greetings.
After Xiao Yi sat down on the armchair under King Zhennan's head, King Zhennan cleared his throat and asked straight to the point: "Ayi, my father heard that you are currently in charge of the Fang family's property. , yes or no?" In front of so many Fang family members, it was naturally difficult for King Zhennan to reprimand Xiao Yi about Fang Chengling's illness.
This issue was the biggest concern of everyone present in the Fang family. Everyone looked at Xiao Yi with their ears pricked up.
Xiao Yi nodded: "Back to my father, my fourth uncle suddenly fell ill and he was leaderless. The stewards sincerely asked for help. My son is half a family member, so how can I bear to sit back and ignore him!"
"Nonsense!" King Zhennan could no longer suppress his anger and said, "You are so old, why are you still so ignorant! Although you have good intentions, our surname is Xiao, and we are from the same family as the Fang family. "Of course your uncles know that you have good intentions, but what will outsiders think of our Zhennan Palace? They will only blindly think that our Zhennan Palace wants to embezzle the Fang family's property?"
On the one hand, King Zhennan's words rebuked Xiao Yi for his nonsense, and on the other hand, they also established the matter. Xiao Yi had good intentions and had no intention of seeking the Fang family's property.
"My father's words are wrong." Xiao Yi did not appreciate it and said calmly and calmly, "My son's filial piety towards his uncle can be learned from time to time. How can he be hesitant just because he is afraid of being criticized by others? I don't know. Uncles, do you think what I said is reasonable?"
Everyone in the Fang family nodded hurriedly and praised: "My uncles naturally understand A Yi's filial piety."
Of course they understand that no matter what Xiao Yi's true intentions are, they can only assume that he is filial. In front of the King of Zhennan, wouldn't it be asking for death if he questioned whether the Zhennan Palace wanted to seize the Fang family's property? What's more, this prince is different from the past. He has killed enemies on the battlefield and has blood on his hands. He cannot afford to offend easily.
Xiao Yi smiled, looking pleased, "As long as uncles understand."
Seeing that Xiao Yi has no regrets until now, King Zhennan couldn't help frowning and subconsciously wanted to reprimand him. Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Xiao Yi. Yi said with a half-smile but not a smile: "I wonder if uncles are here today to visit my fourth uncle?"
After Fang Chengde and Fang Chengzhi secretly exchanged glances, the former took the lead and said, "Of course I'm here to visit your grandfather and uncle." After saying that, he sighed and said, "The two of them are bedridden now. , It really makes us worried. The Fang family has many properties, it’s been really **** you these days.”
Xiao Yi nodded clearly and said: "That's true. If it weren't for my uncle, why would I do such a thankless thing? Now I have been scolded by my father for no reason." He His eyes swept around them, taking in everyone's expressions, and said with a half-smile, "Actually, my father is right, the affairs of the Fang family should still be left to the Fang family." That's right, my eldest son is named 'Xiao' after all."
The Fang family was overjoyed when they heard this. What they were most worried about was that Xiao Yi was deliberately refusing to pay back the money, so they would have to offend him. But now, as long as he doesn't mean to take over, that's fine.
Fang Chengxun and Xiao Fang couldn't help but look at each other, something was a little beyond their expectations.
They originally planned to use the other houses to force Xiao Yi to hand over the property, and then use the prince's influence to hold the property in their hands. The Fang family had offended Xiao Yi first, so they would not dare to offend the prince again, and this would naturally happen. However, Xiao Yi has honestly handed it over before they can force him? Didn't he always disobey the prince? Why did you suddenly become so peaceful?
This is not a good thing for them, it is too easy, and those cousins may become unscrupulous!
Sure enough, the smiles on the faces of Fang Chengde and Fang Chengzhi became a little wider.
When they heard that King Zhennan was coming, they were aware of Sanfang's intention, but this incident was undoubtedly a good opportunity for them, and they would not be willing to accept it if they did not fight.
If you win the battle, it will be a fortune, but if you lose, there will be no loss anyway.
Just adapt to circumstances.
Now that the prince is so knowledgeable and knowledgeable, that is the best! In this case, all we have to do is deal with the prince. I heard that the Crown Prince and the Prince have always been at odds with each other, maybe they can be put to good use.
Thinking about this, Fang Chengde agreed and said: "Uncles all know that you are filial, Ayi, but you also work very hard to help the prince manage southern Xinjiang. How can I let the trivial matters of the Fang family make you nervous again."
Xiao Yi said very thoughtfully: "I wonder who uncle thinks can take care of the Fang family?"
"Of course I want a person of high moral character and respect..."
Before Fang Chengde finished speaking, Fang Chengxun suddenly coughed twice forcefully.
Highly respected? He wants to exclude Brother Yu from the situation! Fang Chengxun sneered, but it was a pity that he was the concubine of the third wife and had no say in this situation, so he glanced at the man diagonally opposite.
That man, Mr. Fang Chengyong, the sixth master of Fang, was the legitimate son of the third house. He immediately stood up, saluted the King of Zhennan, and said: "Second brother, the eldest brother has the final say on matters concerning the eldest son. That is, the eldest uncle and fourth brother are both sick now, but Brother Yu is still here. Brother Yu is the legitimate grandson of the eldest brother and the legitimate head of the family!"
Fang Chengzhi laughed and said: "Sixth brother, I know that Brother Yu is smart and will become a talent in time, but now the Fang family really can't afford to wait! If Brother Yu can convince the public, then the stewards will Why bother pushing A Yi to be a director!"
Fang Chengyong hesitated a few words and subconsciously looked at Fang Chengxun again.
Useless stuff! Fang Chengxun cursed secretly in his heart, and finally spoke by himself, saying: "Although Brother Yu is young, there are always uncles and uncles like us who can help him. It won't take long for Brother Yu to take on the big responsibility! We The Fang family has rules, so no one else can interfere with the eldest son’s property."
Fang Chengzhi said as if unintentionally: "Third brother, your third brother is Yu Geer's biological uncle. It's no wonder..." As he said that, he smiled meaningfully, "Could it be that he wanted to blackmail the emperor? Order the princes?"
Fang Chengxun was secretly annoyed. He knew that none of his cousins could save fuel.
If I had known that Xiao Yi would hand over the property so simply, I shouldn't have called these people over. Now it's like stealing the chicken but losing the rice.
Fang Chengde chuckled, looked at Xiao Yi and said, "Ayi, you have been in charge of the eldest house for some time. Do you think Brother Yu is suitable to take over?"
Xiao Yi smiled, shook his head, and followed his intention and said: "Of course not."
Fang Chengde breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Ayi, what do you think..."
"Second brother!" Fang Chengxun cut him off first, and then winked at Fang Chengyong. The latter could only say somewhat unconfidently, "The prince is still here, what can A Yi do?" , he turned to King Zhennan, not daring to raise his head, and said as if reciting, "Your Majesty, it's rare for you to come to Heyucheng today, how about you say a fair word for our Fang family?"
The King of Zhennan was silent in thought.
"Your Majesty..." Xiao Fang pressed the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief and looked at him lovingly.
The King of Zhennan patted her hand and said, "I thought..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yi stood up after watching a good show and said loudly: "Father, my son feels that there is something wrong with what Uncle Six said..."
When he said this, Fang Chengxun and the others couldn’t help but look down.
Fang Chengde and Fang Chengzhi showed brisk smiles, thinking: The bet was right! As long as the prince and the prince have different opinions, today's matter will most likely be accomplished!
Xiao Yi said nonchalantly: "Father, you have thought carefully about what you scolded your son just now, and you deeply agree with it. Our surname is Xiao, and we are from the same family as the Fang family. If you casually comment on the Fang family's affairs, outsiders will definitely You think our Zhennan Palace has some plot to put a puppet in the Fang family to control the Fang family's property! This is really damaging to your reputation, father!" He used the words of King Zhennan to silence King Zhennan for a moment. There is nothing to say.
Seeing that King Zhennan looked unhappy, Fang Chengxun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the saying goes: 'Follow authority in urgent matters'..."
"Third uncle, the key to 'obeying authority in urgent matters' lies in the word 'urgent', not 'obeying authority'." Xiao Yi interrupted Fang Chengxun with a chuckle, "I thought that the Fang family's property was naturally only Fang Chengxun. Only people can take care of the Fang family, and the next heir to the Fang family should be decided by the head of the Fang family."
The current head of the Fang family is naturally Mr. Fang.
Fang Chengxun sneered in his heart, how could he decide the next head of the Fang family when he had been lying on the bed for more than ten years?
The other Fang family members also looked at each other. Who didn't know that Mr. Fang had suffered a stroke for more than ten years. Not only was he unable to take care of himself on a daily basis, but he also almost lost consciousness. To put it bluntly, he is now a useless person who is worse than a fool!
At this moment, there was a strange "click-click-click" sound outside the main hall, followed by the servants' disbelieving exclamations: "Old... old... old master!?"
Mr. Fang? !
Everyone in the hall followed the sound and saw a fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old woman wearing rose-red makeup pushing a heavy wooden wheelchair towards this side. His eyes widened in disbelief.
They all know the man in the wheelchair - Mrs. Fang!
