"Chaoxi is one year old now. I asked my father-in-law to register her in the family tree."
Rong Baichuan looked at Rong Chaoxi, who was riding on Guo Lai's back and giggling, with a slightly melancholy look on his face.
"Although he openly severed ties with me in court, we are still on the Rong family tree. I want to use this to force him to open the ancestral hall and cross us off the list, completely eliminating all possibilities."
"Now that you have made another contribution, will he be willing to cross it out?" Qin Nanjing asked.
After all, even if the relationship is severed on the surface, as long as Rong Baichuan's name is still in the family tree, he will always be a descendant of the Rong family. If something happens to them in the future, the Annan Marquis Mansion can immediately cross out Rong Baichuan's name.
If something happens to them, they can ask Rong Baichuan to help them.
I believe that Marquis Annan also thought so, so he never mentioned the matter of drawing up the family tree.
Rong Baichuan said calmly, "He's a very proud person. I openly brought out a new family tree at Chaoxi's first birthday party and even asked my father-in-law to write the family tree for Chaoxi. He will definitely be furious."
"If he gets angry in front of me, I'll bring up what happened in the court again and force him to remove our names from the family tree."
"If he keeps it secret, then everyone will already know that our family is not on the Rong family tree. If he brings it up again in the future, I'm afraid no one will believe it."
"But to cause trouble on such an important day..."
I feel a little sorry for Chaoxi.
"Dad..." Rong Yubai said after hearing what they said, "We must force them to cross out the Rong family genealogy in public."
Qin Nanjing and Rong Baichuan looked at Rong Yubai, confused.
"Grandfather might not mention the family tree for the sake of his reputation, but what about my second uncle..."
Rong Yubai continued, "Dad should know what kind of person Second Uncle is better than I do. For his own benefit, he can disregard everything else."
Rong Baichuan nodded in agreement, "Yes, Rong Qiwang may seem indifferent on the surface, but if you piss him off, he'll do anything."
"If there really was something, he would definitely bring up the family tree and filial piety. He's a shameless person."
"Then let Second Uncle force Grandfather to draw up the family tree." Rong Yubai's lips curled up into a faint smile, "It's much easier to anger him than to anger Grandfather."
Seeing Rong Yubai's confident look, Rong Baichuan asked,
"Do you have an idea?"
"I heard recently that some people outside are saying that Second Uncle is about to become the heir of Annan Marquisate, but too few people know about it..." Rong Yubai said, "Let's spread the word for him so that his hopes won't be dashed."
…
First birthday party.
Rong Chaoxi was woken up early by Qin Nanjing and changed into new clothes.
She had two little buns on her head with two little bells hanging on them, and she was wearing a little red dress.
There is a touch of red between the eyebrows, like the New Year picture doll under the seat of Guanyin.
Today, the general's mansion is extremely lively.
The maids and servants were all wearing new clothes, with happy smiles on their faces. When they saw Rong Chaoxi, they would say,
"Happy birthday, young lady."
"The little lady is so cute today..."
"Young lady, you are so majestic today..."
Rong Chaoxi sat on the saddle that Rong Baichuan had made for Daxiong and walked around the mansion. He gradually lost himself in the praises and his little grin never closed.
"Guo Lai, go ahead..."
The little guy grabbed the reins of Guo Lai with one hand and a thin bamboo pole with the other, shouting "Charge!"
Guo Lai also cooperated very well and howled twice in a way that he thought was ferocious, then took big steps and trotted forward.
The man and the bear walked around the mansion four or five times.
…
forecourt.
Guests arrived one after another as invited.
Rong Baichuan and Rong Yubai greeted them at the door, while Qin Nanjing and Rong Xuqing entertained the guests inside.
"Will they come today?" Rong Baichuan murmured to himself.
"He will come." Rong Yubai said affirmatively, "Others may not come, but Second Uncle will definitely come."
"We've severed ties. We've even sent a letter to Grandfather. My second uncle will definitely come and test our stance."
"After all, everyone knows that he is the Crown Prince. He doesn't want us to show our favor to our grandfather at this time and threaten his position."
"That's true..." Rong Baichuan looked at Rong Yubai with satisfaction and patted his shoulder.
"Yubai, you're really becoming more and more like your father and me. You have the power to control people's hearts. You are indeed my eldest son. Not only have you inherited 100% of your father's good looks, but you've also inherited ten times the wisdom."
"Dad... um..."
Is it possible... that apart from fighting enemies on the battlefield, you have never been able to control people's hearts at other times?
Rong Yubai opened his mouth hesitantly, but finally closed it and said nothing as Rong Baichuan's expression changed from pride to arrogance.
My father's face needs to be protected.
As the auspicious time approached, all the guests arrived.
Just when Rong Yubai thought he was wrong and they would not come, Annan Hou, Rong Qiwang and his family of four finally arrived.
Seeing them arrive, Rong Yubai immediately smiled and greeted them warmly.
"Grandfather, Abai hasn't seen you for a long time. Why don't you come to see Abai?" Rong Yubai affectionately took Annan Hou's arm and leaned his head on his shoulder.
"Abai..." Annan Hou looked at his eldest grandson who had just run towards him with great strides in surprise, "Is your leg... okay?"
"Yes, yes." Rong Yubai nodded heavily. "Dad found a doctor, and Abai is all well now."
After saying that, Rong Yubai turned around in front of everyone and jumped twice.
