After dying, Qing You discovered she was a cannon fodder supporting female character. To collect wish power and return to her original world, she bound to a cannon fodder counterattack system. She ...
Huo Jiwen's eyes lit up. "What are the conditions?"
Qingyou said coldly, "You said before that you would even give up your title of Duke for her."
“If you are determined to marry her, then I will go to the palace and have my brother, the Emperor, strip you of your current position as heir apparent.”
"So, you still want to marry her?"
This is exactly what she's been waiting for—to get Char Siu Bao to agree to relinquish the title of heir, so that she can legitimately change the heir of the Duke's mansion in the future.
Huo Jiwen was taken aback, clearly not expecting his mother to make such a condition.
He frowned and said, "Mother, please don't force me."
Qingyou said expressionlessly, "You've even learned to turn the tables on me. You're the one who's forcing me."
“You know perfectly well that I can’t bear to see my son starve to death, yet you’re using this to threaten and coerce me.”
"I'm just asking you to make a choice, how am I forcing you?"
She said seriously and earnestly, "Between Shi Lingqiao and the position of Crown Prince, you can only choose one."
Huo Jiwen felt a little flustered. "Mother, have you asked my uncle, the Emperor? Will he agree to strip me of my title as heir apparent?"
Qingyou found it amusing. Char Siu Bao said he didn't care about the Duke's mansion, but wasn't he afraid of losing it?
She said, "No need to ask, I will go to the palace myself to ask him to do it. Your imperial uncle will still do as I say for such a small matter."
Huo Jiwen: "..."
He said, "This is no small matter. If I don't become the heir, then the Duke's mansion will have no successor."
Qingyou said nonchalantly, "If there isn't one, then there isn't. The Duke's mansion doesn't necessarily need an heir."
She naturally wouldn't reveal her desire to change the heir to Char Siu Bao, otherwise he and the Fourth Prince would definitely target Huo Xi.
Huo Xi had been away from the Duke's mansion for almost half a year since he went to his hometown to take the imperial examination, so Cha Shao Bao had completely forgotten about him.
