Quan Jiuyi's heart-wrenching cries echoed in the living room.
Quan Yuxun couldn't bear to listen any longer and quietly got up and left.
He came into the yard and lit a cigarette with an expressionless face.
Quan Juntai also came out, stood beside him, took the cigarette from him and took a puff.
Quan Yuxun: "..."
This made him lose interest in smoking.
Quan Juntai blew out a few smoke rings before saying calmly, "...Do you think your grandfather and I are too cruel?"
Quan Yuxun said calmly, "I already knew that the family had decided to give up on my aunt."
"After all, if she continues to mess around, it's not impossible that she will drag our Quan family's lineage down with her."
Quan Juntai said: "It's good that you know."
"Although we, the four great noble families, cannot be stripped of our titles or exterminated, the Emperor can replace one of our lineages to inherit the title."
"So, anything related to the royal family, one must be extremely careful."
"If we really can't stop it, then we have no choice but to cut our losses in time."
"As the future head of the Quan family, you must remember that you are the one who controls the Quan family, not just a relative of one person."
Quan Yuxun said: "I know, but now the truth is revealed..."
Quan Juntai said: "You still feel sorry for it?"
Quan Yuxun didn't answer directly, but smiled and said, "Fortunately, she is just my aunt, not my sister or my daughter."
Quan Juntai said: "You are still blaming me and your grandfather."
Because Quan Jiuyi is their sister and daughter.
Quan Yuxun said calmly, "Anyway, if it was my sister or daughter, I would never let this happen."
Quan Juntai shook his head and said, "Don't talk big. Love itself is blind."
"And when a man tries to deceive a woman's feelings, nothing can stop her from falling into depravity."
"There are so few women who can clearly reflect on themselves in their relationships..."
"Especially when you're just beginning to fall in love, and you encounter an emotional liar like the emperor, no girl can escape this fate."
"Besides, there are deeper reasons behind this matter. Have you ever thought about it?"
Quan Yuxun said, "...what's the deeper reason? Why does the emperor want to offer sacrifices? To whom is he offering sacrifices?"
Quan Juntai said: "...that's another matter."
"The Li family, one of the four great noble families, produced the most queens before the establishment of constitutional monarchy."
"But after the establishment of constitutional monarchy, they never married Li's daughters to princes or emperors again."
"But have you ever thought about why, five hundred years after the establishment of constitutional monarchy, they actually married their clan leader's eldest daughter to Tan Tai Hongyuan, who was still a prince, and why she was able to give birth to a son who grew up?"
"And ten years after giving birth to a son, the queen became pregnant again and gave birth to another daughter?"
Quan Yuxun frowned and began to analyze the matter.
"It's a bit strange indeed."
"We four noble families all know that the royal family will never allow an heir with the blood of one of the four noble families to take over the throne."
"Over the past ten thousand years, the Li family has produced many queens, but not one of them has successfully given birth to an imperial heir."
"Before constitutional monarchy, the emperor could have three harems, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines, any one of whom could give birth to his children."
"So you can marry a woman from the Li family as your queen, because it doesn't matter whether a queen from the Li family can have children or not."
"Later, when constitutional monarchy was established, the royal family implemented monogamy and stipulated that illegitimate children had absolutely no right to inherit the throne. From then on, no more women from the Li family married into the palace."
"This provision was the first restriction on imperial power imposed by the cabinet, the military, and the Senate during the constitutional monarchy period."
"According to the constitution, if the emperor has no legitimate children to inherit the throne, the imperial family has no need to exist."
"So, in the past five hundred years, the royal family has never married a woman from one of the four duke families."
"Even the princess of the royal family didn't marry one of the four dukes."
"It wasn't until more than thirty years ago that the first heir to the throne, Princess Tantai Jinyu, suddenly gave up her right to the throne and married the second son of the Zong clan leader."
"Then, as an ordinary prince, Tan Tai Hongyuan, while flirting with your aunt, also showed his affection to the Li family girl."
"After our Quan family clearly stated that she was out of their league, he turned around and resolutely married Li Fengen, the eldest daughter of the Li family."
"This is the first Queen Li to marry into the palace after the establishment of the constitutional monarchy."
"And the eldest princess, Tantai Jinyu, is also the first royal princess to marry into one of the four great ducal families after the establishment of the constitutional monarchy."
