Xue had proposed to adopt children from other branches many times before but was rejected every time. Marquis Huayang felt that his wife was simply insane. Why would she adopt a child from another clan member when she already had her own children? Even if Tu Yufan was a piece of mud, he would help her get promoted.
Now that Tu Yufan has been awarded the title of Tongsheng, he can be considered a late bloomer. It is said that he is still a good student. Marquis Huayang will definitely not allow Xue to have such thoughts.
The Hua family was still hoping that their children would inherit this enormous wealth, but later they received a letter from the Xue family saying that the Marquis of Huayang decided to let Tu Yufan inherit the title because of his promising reputation.
"My nephew has been idle all day long, but he actually passed the examination for a tongsheng! My sister-in-law also said that the marquis was considering adopting a child from the clan, but now that she sees that he has a promising future, she took back her words." Uncle Hua said with great dissatisfaction.
He just happened to have a three-year-old legitimate son, and he still thought there was some hope.
In fact, whether it was adoption or other things, they were all said by Xue, and none of them were credible. However, they were blinded by greed and thought it was true. When they heard that the matter had fallen through, they beat their feet and stamped their chests in remorse.
"But my sister-in-law said that my nephew will come to my hometown in a few months to take the college entrance examination. It's a long journey, and if something unexpected happens, it's possible that he will encounter robbers and villains."
"What are you talking about? Be careful, the walls may have ears."
Uncle Hua's eyes flashed, and he slowly placed the letter on the candle and burned it.
.....
Tu Yufan went to Hua's hometown to take part in the college entrance examination. Marquis Huayang happened to be away and couldn't come back in time, so Xue sent a few servants to protect him. Aunt Yue didn't believe that Xue was so kind, so she also bought a few thugs from outside to accompany him.
Looking at more than a dozen servants kneeling on the ground, Tu Yufan had a headache, so he simply left alone under the cover of night.
"Madam, Erzi left alone before dawn."
Xue also copied scriptures for Hua Jiqian with a dull look in his eyes.
"Since he left without permission, if the Marquis asks about it, he can only blame himself for overestimating his own abilities."
Nanny Kong looked at Xue's sullen face, sighed and left. Behind her was Xiao Pei, Xue's personal maid. The two were relatives, so they didn't have to be so cautious when talking to each other.
Xiao Pei whispered, "Aunt, did Madam send the man to Erzi to attack him on the way?"
Grandma Kong rolled her eyes at her. Grandma Kong had no children, so her sister sent Xiao Pei in specially. She also liked this innocent and romantic niece. When she heard these bold words, she didn't get angry, but started to explain.
"You must never speak without restraint again. How could Madam let anyone get hold of you? If anyone wants to take action, it should be someone from Aunt Yue's side. But since Second Master is unwilling to bring people with him, there is no need for us to do anything."
Xiao Pei nodded in confusion, but she was still puzzled as to why Aunt Yue and her people would deal with Er Xiaozi.
.......
Tu Yufan knew that the journey would not be too difficult, but he was a skilled and courageous person. It would be even more timid to go with so many people, so it would be better for him to go alone.
However, he still admired these people's endurance. Until they arrived at the Hua family's hometown, the journey was smooth.
"Uncle, my nephew needs to stay for a few nights. Sorry for the trouble."
"Haha, no problem, no problem."
Uncle Hua was pregnant and looked very happy. Aunt Hua was holding Tu Yufan's hand and talking to him affectionately.
"You are so generous to come here alone. You must be hungry. Come and wash up. Auntie has already asked someone to prepare food."
Tu Yufan did not ignore the contempt in their eyes. After all, he was just the son of a maid who climbed into bed. In their eyes, he had never achieved much. He was as famous in the capital as Hua Jiqian, but they were just two different kinds of reputation.
Tu Yufan walked in with a fake smile.
Hua Shu's father's youngest son Hua Shu also took part in the college entrance examination. After Tu Yufan came in, no one wanted to come forward to talk to him, and Tu Yufan was happy to have some peace and quiet.
