Chapter 895: It turns out that the century-old family was originally supposed to be inherited by Old Man Su
Old Man Su didn't know that his two sons already had plans in their minds.
"Remember, your grandfather has a relationship with their family, but our family doesn't!" Old man Su looked at his two sons and said sternly.
"I know, Dad."
Su Laosan and Su Laowu nodded decisively.
It’s okay!
It’s okay, don’t hold back!
As for why it no longer matters, I’ll find a chance to ask Mom later.
Anyway, Dad never hides anything from Mom, so I guess this is the same.
However, one thing is certain, my grandfather must have been an unfavored bastard in the Su family.
Seeing this situation, Su Ding sighed and said, "Young Master, if the situation really cannot be resolved, why not listen to Young Master Sun and move the master and the mistress's graves? I'm old and I might die one day. By then, I'm afraid there will be no one to take care of the master and the mistress's graves..."
When Su Ding said this, his eyes turned red again.
He was not afraid of death, but he was worried that after his death, no one would take care of his master's grave.
After his master passed away, he took the initiative to ask to guard the Su family's ancestral tomb in order to take care of his master's grave.
He was worried that if someone else took care of the grave, the master's grave would be left unattended.
It may even be secretly abused by others.
After all, the master was not favored by the old man when he was alive.
"Uncle Ding, you will surely live to be a hundred years old." After hearing what Su Ding said, Old Man Su said, "I'll let my daughter take your pulse later and prescribe some medicine to regulate your body. I guarantee that you will be strong and energetic in your old age!"
Tang Bao nodded repeatedly.
"Don't worry, Grandpa Ding, I'm an excellent doctor!" Tang Bao boasted without hesitation.
Su Ding glanced at Old Man Su and Tang Bao with gratitude, then said, "Don't worry, Master. I've let it go a long time ago. It's a blessing from God that I can live to this age. I'm content."
Su Ding paused for a moment and continued, "My only worry is that after I die, it will be inconvenient for the eldest young master, the grandson young master, and others to come and pay homage to the master and the mistress. It would be better to move the master and the mistress's graves..."
After hearing what Su Ding said, Old Man Su showed a hesitant expression.
"Dad, what Grandpa Ding said is true." Su Lao San advised: "Grandfather is just an unfavored bastard among the many descendants of the Su family. Even if the grave is moved, I'm afraid no one will care..."
"Who said your grandfather was a bastard?"
Old Man Su puffed his beard and glared at Old Third Su.
Isn't this an insult to his father?
Su Lao San: “…”
It feels like another big melon is about to fall from the sky.
As expected, Old Man Su continued, "Your grandfather is the legitimate son of the Su family, a century-old family, and he is also the legitimate eldest son!"
Su Lao San: “…”
His face was filled with shock.
Tang Bao was also shocked.
You know, this dynasty pays the most attention to the order of seniority and the distinction between the noble and the humble.
Anyone who has the word "Di" in his name has a higher status.
After all, the children who are named after the legitimate wife are all born to the legitimate wife.
Concubines are bought and sold, and because of their low status, they can be bought and sold at will by their masters.
Naturally, the children she gave birth to were not as valued as those born to the first wife.
What's more, now it occupies a long word
Especially wealthy families, they attach great importance to the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, and also attach great importance to the distinction between the old and the young.
Because family property and titles are ultimately inherited by the eldest son.
Now, his own father actually revealed that his grandfather was the eldest son of the Su family!
In this case, wouldn't my father be...
"Young Master, you are obviously the heir to the century-old Su family!" Su Ding suddenly said angrily: "If it weren't for the old master's partiality..."
"Uncle Ding, I'm no longer a member of the Su family." Old Man Su interrupted Su Ding and said, "You forgot that after my father passed away, my mother and I were expelled from the family tree by the then head of the Su family."
Su Ding: "..."
"Dad, why is this happening?" Su Lao San asked in shock.
What kind of heinous crime did the legitimate son and heir commit to be expelled from the family?
Naturally, he didn't believe that his father had done anything wrong.
He just wanted to know what dirty excuses the Su family had used!
"Why?" Old Man Su sneered and said, "Because your grandmother is just an ordinary peasant girl, unworthy of their lofty and scholarly family!"
Su Laosan understood.
Su Laowu, however, looked puzzled as he looked at the tomb where his grandfather and grandmother were buried together.
Since she had been expelled from the clan, how could my grandmother still be buried in the Su family’s ancestral tomb?
Tang Bao was also confused.
So, I asked.
"Dad, after my grandmother passed away, was she included in the family tree again?"
"No." Old Man Su said, "Since they were so ruthless back then, how could they have written your grandmother into the family tree again?"
A rare expression of sarcasm appeared on Old Man Su's face.
"Then..." Tang Bao looked at the graves of her grandparents, with doubt clearly written on her little face.
Old Man Su always answers every question his little girl asks.
So, he said, "Thanks to your Grandpa Ding."
Old Man Su looked at Su Ding with gratitude on his face.
He added, "Before your grandmother passed away, she left a will that she wanted to be buried with your grandfather. As her son, I will naturally do everything I can to fulfill her wish..."
"...So, after your grandmother passed away, her coffin was transported here. Fortunately, it's usually only guarded by your Grandpa Ding and his wife..."
Tang Bao understood.
My father secretly buried my grandmother's coffin in my grandfather's grave.
The person from the Su family had no idea at all.
I have to say, this is really... a little unbelievable.
But I have to say, this is really a good idea!
Tang Bao looked at her father with admiration.
Indeed, only my father could do such a thing.
In fact, Tang Bao still has many questions.
For example, since his grandfather was the eldest son of the Su family, how could he marry a peasant girl as his wife?
There must be a story behind this.
For example, his father was the legitimate son of the Su family after all, so how could he be expelled from the clan because of his grandmother?
You have to know that in this era, clan concepts are very important and bloodlines are very important.
No matter how angry I am, I will never expel my legitimate grandson from the family.
The worst that can happen is that you are not valued and your inheritance rights are deprived.
However, it’s so cold today, so I won’t ask these questions in front of my grandparents’ graves.
Everyone returned to the thatched house where Su Ding lived.
There was a kang in the room, so it wasn't very cold and it was very tidy.
An old woman was sitting on the kang, sewing shoe soles.
"Old woman, look who's here?" Su Ding shouted to the old woman excitedly.
The old woman put down her shoe soles and looked at the group of nobles dressed in luxurious clothes with a puzzled look.
Yes, in the old woman's eyes, everyone in the Su family was dressed luxuriously and they were obviously from a wealthy family.
"Aunt Ding." Old man Su called out with a smile on his face.
The expression on the old woman's face slowly turned into surprise.
"Young Master!"
the old woman shouted.
Then, tears began to fall.
"Madam will be very happy to know that the eldest young master is back." The old woman said crying.
It turned out that the old woman was originally a person close to Tang Bao's grandmother, and later married Su Ding, the servant of Tang Bao's grandfather. So after Tang Bao's grandfather passed away and Old Man Su and Tang Bao's grandmother were expelled from the Su family, the couple took the initiative to ask to guard the Su family's ancestral tomb.
The purpose is to take care of Tang Bao's grandfather's grave.
