But my mother is no ordinary person; she can completely understand.
What's wrong with the second brother? Doesn't he understand the importance of this matter?
Boss Huang felt he had figured out the truth.
It's normal for idiots to not know what's important and what's not. Their minds are just different from those of normal people.
Feeling the pitying gaze directed at him, Huang Lao Er couldn't help but shake his arm and exclaim, "You're sick!"
Sure enough, I knew the title wasn't a good thing; it had already stunned people before it even arrived.
"Am I sick?" Boss Huang asked, pointing at himself in disbelief. "Are you kidding me?"
“You’re really sick,” Huang Lao Er nodded emphatically. “You haven’t even become a marquis yet, and you’re already thinking you’re a golden goose. Even your mother isn’t as arrogant as you.”
Boss Huang: What kind of nonsense is this!
Does he have that?
Could it be jealousy?
Huang, who had been overthinking things, looked rather embarrassed.
“Second brother,” he patted his younger brother’s arm reassuringly, “you will always be my brother, no matter what, even if I become a marquis.”
“Boss,” Jiang Nuan’s eyes narrowed upon hearing this, “should I speak to the Emperor and have your title revoked?”
Upon hearing this, Old Huang froze, trembling as he asked, "Mother, what did I do wrong?"
"If you flaunt your superiority again, get out of here!" Jiang Nuan's face was very ugly. "You got this title not because of your ability or good character, but because you were born into a good family. What I can give you, I can take back. Remember that."
"Mother," Huang Laoda's face turned pale, "Is your son really that worthless?"
"Ask yourself, in what way are you better than your brothers, but you only have the title of eldest son?"
Jiang Nuan had anticipated that she would have to give her eldest son a warning sooner or later, because he would inevitably change after inheriting the title, but she did not expect that he would start to become arrogant before he even received the imperial decree.
I asked myself again and again, "Are you really nervous?"
Perhaps.
But they are also more interested in showing off their status.
She hadn't spoken up before because she didn't want to create a rift between the brothers, but she never expected him to go even further.
“Exactly, he’s just a marquis, what’s so great about him? Your mother is a banished immortal,” Huang Lao Er couldn’t help but shake his head. “We are the sons of a banished immortal, so we’re definitely different from ordinary people. You’re so anxious about a marquis, don’t you think that’s embarrassing!”
Huang Laoda, who was already feeling guilty because of what Jiang Nuan said, turned deathly pale after being ridiculed and sarcastic by his younger brother.
Seeing this, Wang, who had been all smiles, clenched her nails and lowered her head.
“Mother,” Old Master Huang said decisively, “it was your son who was reckless.”
"Be more careful next time!"
Jiang Nuan waved her hand and stopped speaking.
I was very disappointed.
I originally thought my son had seen a lot and wouldn't be so short-sighted, but who knew...
She'll see. If it really doesn't work out, she won't hold back.
We should still offer criticism when necessary!
“My son understands.”
Boss Huang immediately became quiet and dared not show off anymore.
The name "Liuxianhou" means "the banished immortal who has been kept here."
If my mother doesn't like me, it's not impossible for the Emperor to take me back.
After all, that's his greatest value.
At this moment, Boss Huang finally realized how stupid his actions had been.
He got a little cocky after receiving the news.
He felt that he was not on the same level as his brothers; he was a marquis, a nobleman, while his younger brothers were just commoners.
But they forgot that none of this was achieved through their own hard work.
If you weren't born into a good family, you might spend your whole life toiling in the fields, eating the worst cornbread and wearing the roughest hemp clothes...
No moment made him realize more clearly that without a family, Huang Chuan was truly nothing.
Even if he gave it his all, he would still be nothing more than a poor boy from Huangjiakou who would be looked down upon.
“Good that you understand,” Jiang Nuan nodded slowly. “Our family has no imperial succession, and no one is more noble than anyone else.”
"Your son will remember your teachings."
“Mother,” Madam Xie said with a grin, “I knew you would know how to deal with him.”
With that superior attitude, who wouldn't see through it?
She just didn't say it aloud because she thought her mother would punish her.
Sure enough, my guess was absolutely right.
My older brother is incredibly stupid.
He always thought that becoming a marquis was something special, but he never thought about who gave him all of this.
Mother's greatest wish is for the family to be harmonious and happy. If a title causes discord in the household, she will definitely make this eyesore of a title disappear.
"Just a few words," Jiang Nuan couldn't help but shake her head, "You all wait here, I'm going back to my room to change my clothes."
"Your daughter-in-law will go with you."
After Jiang Nuan left, the atmosphere instantly froze.
Huang, whose thoughts had been exposed, was extremely embarrassed, and the others were also not very comfortable with it.
"Brother," Huang Xiaosan said, his feelings complicated, "Congratulations."
Even knowing that your future won't be bad, you still feel inferior to others for no reason.
He found that he still couldn't let go of it.
"What's there to congratulate me on?" Old Huang said with a wry smile. "I'm just lucky to have been born into a good family. Otherwise, how could I have had such a good opportunity?"
“Reincarnation is also a skill, brother, you don’t need to belittle yourself.”
"Alright," Huang Lao Er said impatiently, "When will this babbling end? We're not incompetent. If we want to be rich, we should work hard ourselves. What's with all this sour talk?"
After a pause, Huang Lao Er looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression, "When His Majesty was here before, I didn't see you attach much importance to it. How come a mere title has caused such a commotion?"
He really couldn't understand it.
Even without a title, their family is doing just fine. Having one would only be icing on the cake. Why are they all so narrow-minded?
“Second Brother,” Huang Xiaosan said cryptically, “you don’t understand.”
Men's desire for control over power is ingrained in their bones. They didn't pay attention to it before because they never thought they would get it and always felt it had nothing to do with them.
Now, with the title within reach, the desires hidden deep in his heart have been completely stirred up.
Huang Xiaosan felt that no one, unless they were a saint, would remain indifferent to this.
"It's not that I don't understand, it's that you're asking for trouble," Huang Lao Er sneered. "I'm going to find my mother, I don't want to talk to you."
"Second Brother," Huang Xiaosi quickly said, "Wait, I'll go too."
He didn't care about titles or anything like that, since they were unlikely to fall into his lap anyway, but Huang Laoda's actions made him very uncomfortable.
Just like Mother said, there's no imperial throne to inherit in the family, so no one is more noble or superior than anyone else.
She shook her head, took Huang Yi's hand, and jogged after him.
“So,” Old Huang said dejectedly, “I’m even more vulgar than I thought.”
I always thought my second son was stupid and simple-minded, but actually, I'm not as good as him.
At least, others can take fame and fortune lightly, while I don't have that kind of wisdom.
“Who in this world isn’t vulgar?” Huang Xiaosan said in a deep voice. “We’re not saints, so it’s normal that we can’t see things clearly. As long as we have a clear conscience, that’s enough.”
After saying that, Huang Xiaosan also left.
He was still upset himself and had no mood to comfort others.
