Zhou Qiongyue only wanted to lie flat and chill—
Instead, she transmigrated into a novel she once read, full of backstabbing household drama.
Worse yet, she wasn’t even the heroine....
After Yuan Bohua finished speaking, he looked at his eldest son and his wife.
Yuan Chaochang and Gong Lianyu both smiled and replied, "I don't mind, it's my duty."
Yuan Chaochang really didn't care about these things. With the strength of Prince Fu'an's Mansion, as long as the money allocated to him didn't squander the family fortune, there would be no worries for two or three generations.
If your descendants squander the family fortune, it will be useless no matter how much you divide it.
Gong Lianyu only cared about Yuan Chaochang, as long as her parents-in-law did not force Yuan Chaochang to have a concubine. Her own dowry was quite generous.
Yuan Chaokang and Ren Xiyu of course declined, but Yuan Bohua and Zhou Qiongyue did not listen to them.
Yuan Chaokang felt that his elder brother had suffered a loss and thought about making it up to him in other ways in the future.
Yuan Chaochang felt that if his younger brother did not pursue a career in politics, the family property would be used up quickly after division, so he also thought about taking better care of his younger brother in the future.
All I can say is that everyone is a kind person with bottom line, and everyone remembers the kindness others have shown them.
Yuan Bohua and Zhou Qiongyue felt relieved when they saw how gentle and humble the Yuan Chaochang brothers were.
If the two sons turned against each other just to get a larger share of the family property, Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua would probably be very disappointed.
After this incident, Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua were very satisfied with their two daughters-in-law. They summed it up in one sentence: "They are all good children."
"You are all good children. Since you have no objection, the family will be divided like this." After Yuan Bohua made the final decision, he took out the family division document next to him and asked his two sons to sign.
Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang signed without even looking at it.
Zhou Qiongyue divided the family property into four equal parts, placed the account books in four piles, and then wrote four sub-groups on the spot and asked the brothers Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang to draw them.
Yuan Chaochang draws two, Yuan Chaokang draws one, and the remaining one is the clan asset.
Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang didn't care and just went up and took it.
Gong Lianyu and Ren Xiyu watched their parents-in-law's actions with infinite admiration. This really was a case of fairness at every turn.
Both of them remembered this scene deeply in their hearts, and thought that they would do the same when they have children in the future.
After the assets of the palace were divided up, Yuan Bohua solemnly burned incense to his ancestors and took down the family tree that was enshrined there.
After the names of Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang, their wives’ names were added, and the time when the two brothers separated was also noted below.
Zhou Qiongyue looked at her two sons kneeling below, and suddenly thought that with her youngest son's intelligence, the family would have a lot of property in the future, and he should not be controlled by others in terms of clan.
"Let's just branch out! Restart a family tree for Yuan Chaokang. He's also a prince, so he's qualified to restart a family tree."
When Zhou Qiongyue said this, everyone present was surprised, including Yuan Bohua.
"Restart a family tree?" Yuan Bohua had never thought that the family would be divided in this way.
The reasons were all ready-made, so Zhou Qiongyue didn't need to think of any new ones. "Well, two titles in one family is still too dazzling."
Yuan Bohua thought for a while, then asked someone to bring a new family tree. He said a lot of words to his ancestors and then burned incense.
Only then were the names of Yuan Chaokang and Ren Xiyu written on the new family tree, and the origin of their branch was also clearly stated.
Finally, Yuan Bohua and Zhou Qiongyue both stamped their private seals.
After completing all these tasks, he solemnly handed the new family tree to Yuan Chaokang.
This is also because there are no other elders or clansmen above this ancestor, otherwise it would not be so easy for Yuan Chaokang to restart a family tree.
Yuan Chaokang was still confused even after he got the family tree. Just by getting married, he could have the final say?
Yuan Chaokang deeply admired his mother and father. They were both daring to speak and act. And they were the kind of people who would do what they said.
Ren Xiyu had mixed feelings. In her heart, she didn't want to open a new family tree.
Ren Xiyu embodies the old-fashioned thinking of this era: the bigger the clan, the better. She restarted a family tree, with just her and her husband, and any major decision had to be made by them alone.
Ren Xiyu felt that she was overwhelmed just thinking about it.
Yuan Chaokang had the opposite idea from Ren Xiyu. He liked to make his own decisions.
Yuan Chaokang felt that his mother's proposal was very much to his liking.
The unhappiest person in the whole audience was probably Yuan Chaochang. He and his second brother just got married, but not only did they split up their family home, but now even their family tree was separated.
Yuan Chaochang felt a sense of emptiness in his heart. With red eyes, he looked at his mother and second brother, "Mother, second brother..."
Before I could finish what I was saying, tears started to fall.
Zhou Qiongyue and the others were completely stunned. Even Yuan Bohua's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a mosquito. Yuan Bohua asked emphatically, "Why are you crying in front of our ancestors and your wife? If you have anything to say, talk it over nicely."
"My son just got married, so why am I the only one left in the family tree?" Yuan Chaochang cried even more sadly as he spoke.
Yuan Bohua rolled his eyes speechlessly. If the princess wasn't there, he would have beaten up this worthless boy. "What nonsense are you talking about? Your mother and I, your wife, are not human beings?"
Yuan Chaochang didn't want to pay attention to his father at this time and just cried by himself.
Yuan Chaokang hurried forward to hug his elder brother. In Yuan Chaokang's heart, this elder brother was the best elder brother in his mind. This elder brother and his mother accompanied him to grow up again and mend his already broken heart.
Yuan Chaokang could only pat his eldest brother's back to comfort him, and joked, "It's just a division of the family, and you're crying like I'm dead."
After Yuan Chaokang finished speaking, Yuan Chaochang instantly exploded. He stopped crying and almost jumped up. He stared at Yuan Chaokang fiercely, "What are you talking about?"
Yuan Chaokang quickly admitted his mistake, "No, no, I'm a straight talker. I wish you a long and happy life."
Yuan Chaochang's sudden emotion was no longer contained by Yuan Chaokang's interruption. Being watched by his mother and his wife, Yuan Chaochang's ears turned red.
Yuan Chaochang could only pretend to be an ostrich, kneeling listlessly on the mat.
Zhou Qiongyue reached out and rubbed Yuan Chaochang's head like she did when they were little, "Don't worry, your father and I have always been from the same family tree as you."
Yuan Chaochang raised his head and looked at Zhou Qiongyue with melancholy, "Could it be that you and father still want to share the same family tree with your brother?"
Yuan Chaochang was so confident at this moment that if his mother dared to say yes, he would flood the ancestral hall with his tears.
Yuan Chaokang was afraid that his elder brother would cry again, so he quickly said, "Mother and father are following you, elder brother!"
Yuan Chaokang winked at his mother and father while speaking?
Yuan Bohua didn't want to comfort his son at all. He just took Zhou Qiongyue's hand and left without giving her any chance to say anything.
