When Rong Yuanyou saw his elder brother like this, he also ran to Annan Hou and said with sobs,
"Grandfather, don't you want us anymore? Ah You will be obedient and won't make trouble anymore. Grandfather, please don't be angry with Ah You. Ah You will study hard and work with big brother to build the Marquisate into a prosperous one."
Rong Yuanyou blinked hard and squeezed out a tear.
Looking at Rong Yubai's tears, he couldn't help but admire in his heart: He is worthy of being the eldest brother. Not only is he smart, but he is also so good at acting.
I still have to learn.
After hearing what the two children said, everyone who was whispering about eating melons fell silent for a moment.
"No wonder General Rong is so eager to please. It's all for the sake of the child..."
"Ah! This young master is crying so sadly..."
"Although the eldest son has recovered somewhat, his intelligence is still at the level of a five-year-old. Perhaps in his memory, the family was fine the day before, but after just one night, this happened. How can he not be sad?"
"Alas... no matter what, the children are the ones who suffer."
Seeing this, some people tried to persuade them to reconcile.
"Lord Rong, the children all want a harmonious family. What happened on the ninth day was your fault. Why don't you just forget it and pretend it never happened?"
"Yeah, yeah, there's no such thing as an overnight grudge among family members. If there's anything we can't get over, we can just apologize to each other and let it go."
"How can that be! A gentleman's word is as good as gold. Once you say something, there's no way you can take it back!"
Rong Qi Wang jumped out again and loudly refuted.
"Second uncle." Rong Yubai looked at Rong Qiwang with tears in his eyes. "Can we please not be like this? Ah Bai will definitely be filial to Second Uncle after he inherits the title. Please talk to grandfather and tell him that we will not separate the family..."
"What title?" Rong Qiwang angrily interrupted Rong Yubai, "You have already severed ties with the Annan Marquisate. You have no right to a title in the Marquisate! Don't even think about it!!"
"Dad, don't be like this." Rong Shihan pulled Rong Qiwang's sleeve and tried to pull him to sit down. He felt a little embarrassed.
This is a family matter, and it would be inappropriate to make it public.
"Get out of the way!" Rong Qi Wang shook off Rong Shihan's hand.
He strode angrily to the front of Marquis Annan and pushed Rong Yubai and Rong Yuanyou away.
The two staggered back a few steps and only managed to stand steady by supporting each other.
Seeing this, everyone started to criticize.
But Rong Qiwang didn't care about other people's opinions. He looked at Annan Hou and said anxiously,
"Dad, even though Rong Baichuan's rebellion this time was fake, there's no guarantee he won't commit other serious crimes in the future. Do you want our family to live in fear for the rest of our lives, fearing that he might do something?"
Seeing that Marquis Annan remained silent, he seemed to be considering something.
Rong Qiwang continued, "Dad, you can't be soft-hearted because of these two children."
"Rong Yubai is already useless, his intelligence has been declining. Are you going to hand over the future of our mansion to a fool?"
"My eldest brother is not a fool, you are not allowed to scold him!"
Rong Yuanyou couldn't stand hearing someone calling Rong Yubai a fool, and he was about to rush up and hit someone.
Rong Yubai hugged him tightly.
"Ayou, don't be violent." Rong Yubai whispered in his ear, "We have to act pitiful now, don't break the spell."
"Can……"
Rong Yuanyou wanted to refute, but seeing his elder brother's slightly frowned brows, he stammered for a long time, and finally clasped his hands together, puffing out his cheeks in anger.
Rong Yuanyou's words did not affect Rong Qiwang's continuation of persuading Annan Hou.
"Dad, you've seen it too. They have a fool in their family, a fool who only knows how to fight. Do you want to hand over the future of the Marquisate to them?"
"Our Shi Han is the most useful person for the development of the Marquis' Mansion."
When Rong Shihan was mentioned, Marquis Annan's eyes moved slightly and he looked over.
I saw Rong Shihan sitting there upright, neither humble nor arrogant.
yes.
You can't be soft-hearted because of the pity for the child. You have to think about the future of the Marquis' Mansion.
"Rong Qiwang!" Rong Baichuan suddenly became angry. "How can you judge my child?"
"You keep calling me a fool and an idiot, how good do you think you can be?"
"You keep talking about a marquisate and a title, do you think I care about them?"
"It's just a family tree! I don't want it anymore. Cross it out! Cross it out right now, in front of everyone!"
Rong Baichuan glanced at the guests and saw Xu Wanli, who was concentrating on eating, oblivious to what was happening outside.
"Master Xu." Rong Baichuan looked at him and shouted.
Xu Wanli looked up blankly.
Rong Baichuan continued, "You are the Imperial Censor, and you have the responsibility to supervise all officials. So, come and supervise this matter."
"I understand that my father said in court in front of the emperor that we had severed our relationship long ago in order to protect our family. I have never blamed him."
Rong Baichuan sniffed, wiped his eyes, and continued,
"Today is Chaoxi's first anniversary party. I invited them here. I wanted to ease the relationship. After all, we are a family. I can understand whatever they do."
"But they insulted my child like this today! I can't stand this!"
Rong Baichuan looked at Rong Qiwang with eyes filled with three parts of anger, three parts of sadness, and four parts of determination.
"Since my second brother and father no longer want to be part of my family, I won't force them."
"Today, under the witness of Lord Xu Wanli and all the other lords, our General's Mansion and the Marquis of Annan's Mansion will have no further ties and will never have any contact with each other again!"
"Master Xu, please come with me, Rong Qiwang, and the elders of the Rong family to the Annan Marquisate to retrieve the Rong family tree and cross out our name from it!"
