Xu Cuirong had been holding Yang Zhao's hand, but she unconsciously let go. To hide her embarrassment, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Haha, this is a great day, let's not talk about those bad things."
"Sister Zhao, you're back just in time. The clan leader just said that this time the ancestral worship will be handled by your second uncle."
The face of Patriarch Yang standing aside darkened slightly.
What a shameless bastard.
When did he say that?
It was as if he had brought them to this mansion.
Patriarch Yang wanted to explain.
Xu Cuirong didn't give him a chance and continued, "Brother Jin has passed the exam. This is a great joy for our Yang family. In addition to offering sacrifices to our ancestors, your second uncle also wants to pay his respects to your grandfather at home alone. He also wants to show his filial piety to your grandmother and accompany her on her final journey."
"So, you want to stay here?" Yang Zhao looked at Xu Cuirong and asked with a faint smile.
Seeing that she was smiling kindly, Xu Cuirong couldn't help but smile even more warmly: "Zhao Jie'er, you are a filial and good child. You should understand the feelings of us children the most."
"Ever since your grandmother became seriously ill, your second uncle has been so worried that he can't sleep or eat well day and night. You know, your second uncle was raised by your grandmother, and the relationship between mother and son is very deep. As the younger generation, we must show our filial piety to the old man in his old age."
Deep feelings?
It’s quite deep indeed.
If Old Madam Yang had not stopped him, Yang Minglin would have been kicked out of Old Master Yang's name long ago. How could he use her second uncle's title at this time!
"Moreover, the current emperor also values filial piety."
Xu Cuirong looked at Yang Zhao and said with a smile: "Now that Jin'er has passed the imperial examination, he will serve as an official in the court in the future. As family members, we must be filial to him, so as not to give Jin'er a chance to be criticized and hinder him in the future. Don't you agree, Zhaojie?"
So this is the reason why they dared to come here today.
In the past, the Yang family didn't care about their good reputation. After all, the Yang family's military exploits and reputation were all earned by Yang Tiejiang on the battlefield. Moreover, he had a reckless personality and even the emperor couldn't do anything about him.
Trying to threaten him with your reputation is wishful thinking.
But it’s different now.
Yang Huaijin graduated from high school.
Still the first place.
He will definitely become an official in the court in the future.
But after becoming an official, there are many things to care about, and reputation is the most important one.
Although Yang Minglin was not born to Old Madam Yang, he was indeed Old Madam Yang's child in the family tree. He wanted to move in and be filial to his mother. Who could stop him?
If Yang Zhaoruo drove the person out, he would be accused of being unfilial.
In the end, that would implicate Yang Huaijin, and would certainly affect his official position. In serious cases, he might even be disliked by the emperor and lose his position.
Of course.
This is what Yang Minglin and his wife thought.
This is also the logical thinking that most people have.
So they were sure of this, and after learning that Yang Huaijin had graduated from high school, they rushed here without stopping, intending to take this opportunity to settle down.
The Marquis of Zhenbei’s Mansion.
This should be their place of enjoyment.
But because of the trivial things that happened back then, their whole family was left to suffer in the old house.
Now that they have the chance, how can they not bite and suck blood like a leech?
"By the way, this is my niece, Liu Yao. She is a very sensible and good child. When she is at home, she is the one who takes care of all the household affairs. She is a good housekeeper, and she is also very beautiful." Xu Cuirong struck while the iron was hot and hurriedly pulled Liu Yao to her side.
Liu Yao had a sweet smile on her face.
She called out to Yang Zhao respectfully and softly, "Hello, sister."
The word "sister" is called smoothly and sweetly.
Xu Cuirong smiled and said, "From now on, let Yao'er serve my mother-in-law. She is a careful and good child, and she will definitely be able to serve my mother-in-law comfortably."
"Sister Zhao, you are Duke Yang of Qi. You will definitely not have time to take care of all the trivial matters at home from now on. With Yao'er here, she can share the burden with you. You can also earn money outside in peace. Leave the family to us. We will definitely not let you worry about anything."
Tsk!
The abacus beads were almost hitting people's faces.
They were planning to take control of the inner quarters of the Marquis' Mansion, and then let Yang Zhao, the God of Wealth, make money for them, thus perfectly seizing both the power and wealth of the Marquis' Mansion.
Aunt Yang was so angry that she almost laughed.
Just as she was about to take a sip, she heard Yang Zhao respond with a smile, "Okay."
"Xiao Zhao'er!" Aunt Yang was shocked.
Xu Cuirong's eyes lit up, and she happily grabbed Yang Zhao's hand, unable to conceal her excitement and agitation: "Sister Zhao, I know you are a sensible and good child. Don't worry, leave this family to me, and rest assured. I will take good care of it for you, and you can go and make money peacefully."
"I naturally believe in my aunt."
Yang Zhao pulled his hand back from Xu Cuirong, took out a handkerchief, and slowly wiped the hand that she had just held.
Xu Cuirong didn't care. She turned her head and gave Yang Minglin a smug look, as if to say: See, even the so-called Yang Gong of Qi is still under my control.
Yang Minglin's face was obviously more smiling.
His back straightened up instantly, and the fear he had just felt disappeared.
Aunt Yang could see through the couple's character at a glance.
She was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
She understood what Yang Zhao was worried about. Yang Huaijin had just passed the imperial examination, and his reputation was very important to him. After all, he still had to take the palace examination and become an official in the future...
But she was worried that once Yang Zhao and his sister were sucked by the leech couple, they would not be able to get rid of them even if they wanted to, and it would sooner or later become a serious problem.
"Xiao Zhao'er, you can't trust them..."
Aunt Yang had just opened her mouth when she met Yang Zhao's smiling gaze, and her words suddenly stopped.
Xu Cuirong was afraid of someone snatching food from her mouth, so she rushed forward and stood in front of Aunt Yang.
She looked at Aunt Yang fiercely and warned in a low voice: "Aunt, since you are here as a guest, just be a guest with peace of mind. Don't meddle in our family affairs."
