"Junshan, don't be so selfish. When you and your four children were struggling to make a living, our clan helped you a lot!
Now I don’t expect you to return the favor. I just hope your title of Marquis can last until your grandchildren!”
"In my opinion, we shouldn't have come here. Their property should naturally be given to Chang Ge'er.
Didn’t I say that Chang Ge’er is now living in this mansion?”
Si Junshan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Si Jinchang, Si Jinchang, I hope this matter has nothing to do with you!
He didn't want to discuss it with these people anymore, so he said:

Several uncles were even more angry and said:
"Now, we don't ask you to adopt our child.
I just asked you to adopt Chang'er from your brother's family, why are you not happy about it?
Don't you know what kind of character that child is?"
"That child is an excellent student. He will definitely pass the imperial examination next spring! Who knows, he might even become more successful than you in the future!"
......
Si Junshan shook his head slightly and flatly refused: "If my uncle uses the family tree as an excuse..."
