Dong Rouer learned from Duke Rong that Chen Yu had handled the dowry issue perfectly with the help of Shen Zhaoshu, and she became very anxious.

She had hoped that with Chen Yu's temperament and ability, this matter would most likely not be handled properly, and she could then find a loophole and take the money back.

But now it seems unlikely. Duke Rong also feels that Chen Yu has been very different recently, which makes him look at him with new eyes.

I don't know if it's because my brain power is gradually recovering, but I'm dressing more and more neatly and appropriately. Although I'm old, the people in Yongding Marquis' Mansion are all good-looking, and they still look quite graceful.

But no matter what, she is about the same age as me. How can she compare to Dong Rouer, who is a whole generation younger than me.

Seeing Dong Rouer anxiously worried that she would never get the money back, he hurriedly coaxed her and said, "Although she has Shen Zhaoshu's help, she still has a useless son. Let's wait and see. If there is a chance to start with her son, it is not impossible to get the money back."

These words were heard by the eldest son's wife who came hurriedly to the house. She couldn't help but be shocked. How could her father still treat her husband as his own child? The tone was completely one of taking advantage of him.

After hearing this, Dong Rouer thought that it was her eldest son who had helped them defraud his mother's money in the past, so she felt relieved and was busy paying attention to the ceremony process of her son's return to his ancestral home.

When Chen Yu's son learned that his mother did not make it a condition to ask for him to be the crown prince, he ran to Chen Yu anxiously.

He blamed his mother for not considering himself, but instead taking his concubine's son as his legitimate son, putting himself in a difficult situation.

Chen Yu said: "My situation has always been difficult, and this difficulty is inseparable from your instigation, taking advantage of others' misfortunes, and deceiving me.

I've always loved you, trusted you, and made plans for you, putting a large sum of money in your name. You were foolish enough to trust your father and try to please that young woman, and now you've lost both ways.

Your father was determined to give the throne to his concubine's son, so you deserve it. How could you help outsiders bully your mother?"

The son said, "It's obvious that Mother doesn't want to consider my best interests, yet she says Father will definitely give this position to my younger brother. Has Mother fallen out with us and is willing to sow discord? Father has always been good to me."

Chen Yu said: "It can be seen that he is my son, and he is as stupid and ridiculous as me. It seems that your father not only deceived me, but also deceived you. How was he good to you?

I only care about the money. You took all the money from your hands and gave it to your mistress and her daughter. Do you think you're being good to me?

If he really wanted to make you the crown prince, why would he wait until today? Using your mother's concubine's son as the legitimate heir as a condition?

Your father is devoted to his concubine, constantly giving her money and status, so what do you have?"

After hearing this, the son felt a little sad and thought that what his mother said was probably right, but how could he let go easily since he had already come to this point? He had no choice but to continue to force his mother and quarreled with Shen Yu.

Chen Yu then said, "Then just listen here. Even if I ask for you to be crowned as the Crown Prince, there will be no result."

At this moment, Duke Rong came as agreed, bringing all the procedures for changing the name of the concubine's son, opening the ancestral hall, and entering the double genealogy, as well as what Shen Yu needed to do, to make the final decision with Shen Yu.

Chen Yu's son hid in the inner room and listened to Chen Yu say, "I have one more condition. Before you make this concubine's son your legitimate son, you must first ask for the title of Crown Prince for your eldest son. Once his title of Crown Prince is granted, I will then adopt this child as my legitimate son."

When Duke Rong heard this condition, he immediately flew into a rage and said to Chen Yu, "This is absolutely impossible! I tell you the truth, I can't let your child become the crown prince. I thought about it a long time ago, but now that times have changed, I no longer have this intention.

I tried my best to make this child a legitimate son and let him recognize his ancestral roots so that I could pass the throne to him."

Chen Yu said: "My child is the eldest son of the first wife and the eldest son of the eldest son. I already have a grandson, and the eldest son and the eldest grandson are also here. Are you going to abolish this lineage? Dethrone the eldest and establish the youngest?

Since you have had such thoughts for a long time, why didn't you tell your eldest son earlier? You gave houses and money to your mistress and her son from time to time just to settle them down.

He also said that the Duke of Rong's mansion would belong to the eldest son in the future, so he should let go of these trivial matters of money. He trusted you and let you use this money to settle the young mother and younger brother he mentioned.

But you got the money, and now you don't even give him the status, isn't that a bit too much?"

Duke Rong said, "Now that I am a Duke, I can pass it on to any child I want.

He used to be a playboy, and now he treats his own mother like this. I don’t know how this foolish bastard will treat me in the future.

This child you gave birth to has no talent and no character, so why should he inherit the Rongguo Mansion?

Is it because he is the eldest son? It’s okay for you to cheat me like this, but I don’t want him to cheat my Rongguo Mansion in the future. "

Chen Yu sneered, "What else is there to cheat about this Rongguo Mansion? It's already shaky and can't hold on any longer.

If Madam Handan had not paid back the debt my younger sister paid for the first time, the Rongguo Mansion would have been half destroyed.

Now that I have offered this dowry, the Rongguo Mansion is in a state of disrepair. After you and I divorce, there will be no one to support us in the future.

Your concubine, the wonderful Dong Rouer, could never take out a single penny from the money that went into her pocket to supplement the expenses of the Rongguo Mansion.

Without me as a sucker to continue to subsidize the Rongguo Mansion, even if it breaks down, it will only last for seven or eight years."
