Chapter 1598 Roadblock



Quan Yuxun did not use a virtual background, but directly used his own bedroom background.

The main color of his bedroom is light gold, occasionally mixed with a few strands of silver gray, which looks elegant, noble, mysterious and low-key.

This is not consistent with his image as a gentle and polite person with a sharp and frosty character.

But Xia Chujian liked it as soon as she saw it, and thought it looked much better than the dark main color of Huo Yushen’s bedroom.

When Quan Yuxun saw the scenery in the background of Xia Chujian, his eyes suddenly brightened.

Although I was not there in person, it gave me great visual pleasure, as if I could smell the elegant fragrance of flowers and be in the midst of a green jungle.

He said with a smile: "It seems that Yuanbao is really on vacation."

"What a beautiful view! Did you go to the resort in the imperial capital?"

As far as he knew, there was such a resort in a valley outside the imperial capital.

However, places like this are all owned by the royal family.

Although it is open to the public, only nobles above the rank of Viscount are eligible to consume there.

Without a certain noble title, you can't get in even if you have money.

He thought that it was Su Buyan who gave Xia Chujian the qualification to enter.

Xia Chujian didn't deny it, but wasn't sure either. She smiled and said, "Guess."

Quan Yuxun said, "It should be Su Buyan, right? He's the only one qualified enough to help you get into this resort."

Xia Chujian followed his lead and asked curiously, "...Why is he the only one qualified? Can't I go by myself?"

Quan Yuxun said, "Unfortunately, this resort center requires a recommendation from a noble or aristocrat to visit."

"Among the people you know, if I didn't introduce you, then only Su Buyan and Zong Ruoning can introduce you."

"Zong Ruoning is extremely busy right now. I don't think he has the energy to recommend a resort to you."

"So only Su Buyan, who is also on 'vacation' now, has the time and energy to do this."

Xia Chujian still didn't answer directly, but just asked: "What is Zong Ruoning busy with? Why is he so anxious? Is there something wrong with the Zong family?"

Quan Yuxun rubbed his forehead and said lightly, "Hasn't there been enough trouble with the Zong family?"

"The good deeds done by the eldest princess of the second branch of the Zong family and Zong Weiding have caused Madam Su of the first branch of the Zong family to fall ill again."

"Zong Ruoning had to take care of her mother while also starting to take over the assets of the second branch of the Zong family."

Xia Chujian was surprised: "Why did Zong Ruoning, from the first branch, take over the assets of the second branch of the Zong family? Is this legal?"

Quan Yuxun patiently gossiped with her, "The masters of the second branch of the Zong family, the eldest princess and her husband Zong Weiding, have both been executed, leaving behind only their illegitimate son, Zong Ruoan, and their legitimate daughter, Zong Qianxi."

"Zong Qianxi originally admired her brother Zong Ruoan the most. Now that she knows he and she are half-siblings, and that they are illegitimate children, her attitude towards him has changed immediately."

"She kept shouting that she wanted to kick him out of the Zong family, and declared that Zong Ruoan was not eligible to inherit her parents' estate, and that she was the first heir to her parents' estate. She also threatened that if Young Master Zong didn't give her her parents' estate, she would sue the Zong family!"

"But Zong Ruoning doesn't spoil Zong Qianxi."

"He calmly warned her that she had been expelled from the Zong family and had lost her inheritance rights because she had poisoned Elder Zong."

"So now, the direct heir to the property of the second branch of the Zong family is Old Master Zong."

"Because the second wife has no children with legal inheritance rights, the property will be inherited by the parents."

"And Mr. Zong's property will belong to Zong Ruoning from now on."

"This can be considered as compensation to the Zong family's eldest branch."

"After all, it was the Second House that caused the male owner of the First House to have an accident and die in the Starry Sky Battlefield."

Xia Chujian knew that Quan Yuxun was talking about Zong Weiping from the eldest branch of the Zong family, the former imperial marshal.

She sighed and said, "Really... such a good family has to be torn apart. Now you feel relieved, right?"

"Zong Ruoan is so unlucky to have such parents."

"But I still think Zong Ruoan himself isn't that bad. Compared to his father, adoptive mother, and half-sister, he's already a better choice."

"So, does he have nothing now? Can't he inherit any inheritance at all?"

"Didn't that damn emperor change the inheritance law before his death, allowing illegitimate children to inherit as well, and even trace it back thirty years?"

Quan Yuxun said, "Unfortunately, he is just a little over thirty years old, so that law does not apply to him."

Xia Chujian shrugged. "That's true... But, wouldn't Mr. Zong be so heartless as to completely ignore Zong Ruoan? After all, he did suffer from the consequences."

Quan Yuxun said, "You seem to know Master Zong quite well. Yes, Master Zong will not just sit there and watch him."

"I just made a trust arrangement with him. Zong Ruoan has his own trust fund. He is now a member of the lower house of the Senate, and all the private staff around him are still paid by the Zong family."

"From now on, the funding for his campaign will also be borne by the Zong family."

“It’s not much different from before.”

Xia Chujian sighed and said, "Chief Quan, they asked you to be their lawyer, and you sold out all their privacy... I didn't know Chief Quan was such a gossipy person..."

The corners of Quan Yuxun's mouth twitched, he felt both angry and amused.

He said slowly, "Birds of a feather flock together. If the person I was talking to hadn't been so gossipy, I wouldn't have followed suit."
