Duke Rong said, "It's not wrong for you to think and say so. Anyway, I have already given you the dowry, and it is absolutely impossible for me to ask for your son to be named the Crown Prince.
I have thought about living a good life with you before. Although your family has changed the marriage, since we are husband and wife, we should live a good life. Your child is also my first child, and I am happy about it.
But what you and your child have done over the years, one by one, is there anything that is acceptable to anyone?
I am saving money and status for the child of Dong Rouer and me, as well as a glimmer of hope for the future of Rongguo Mansion. As long as these are not changed, I can agree to your other conditions.
If you do these things, it will be absolutely unacceptable. At worst, we will fight to the death. If you don't agree to accept this legitimate son, I will divorce you and marry another one at random, and then register Rou'er's child under the name of the new wife.
But the one I marry again will only be a stepping stone, and I will have to get rid of her after she has served her purpose, which is a bit troublesome.
So think it over carefully. You could have gotten away with the money, but if you want to ask for your child to be crowned the crown prince, then we'll fight to the death.
As long as we are not divorced, your dowry may not be able to protect the mess from the other rooms. There are plenty of dirty tricks.
In the past few days, they have taken turns coming to me to say that they owe various debts outside. These debts have been paid off well, and they can be transferred to me openly as long as I am willing.
Now we are husband and wife, and although the dowry is yours, if I let those fake creditors go to the authorities and say that we owed debts but have not repaid them, then the money will be given to you in the name of returning your dowry.
They said this was something my husband and I had discussed, to transfer the money in this way. Do you think there is any possibility that you will lose the money?
Or do you want to put in a lot of effort to fight this lawsuit with me?
Let the government investigate and find out whether these debts are real or fake. Did my husband and I collude to cheat others and transfer their money, or did I try to embezzle your dowry?
How long do you think it will take the Jingzhao Yin to get to the bottom of this matter?
Do you think I will exhaust you to death during this period of time, or something unexpected will happen?
So now you can happily take your dowry and get your legitimate son appointed, and forget about asking for your son to be crowned the heir. No matter what, he can never be the heir!"
When Chen Yu's son heard his father say this in the inner room, he felt heartbroken. He took a step back in a daze and bumped into something with a muffled sound.
Duke Rong asked, "Who is it?"
The eldest son came out from the inner room in a trance, not realizing that he was already in tears. His face was pale, and he stared blankly at the father whom he had admired and respected since childhood.
He said: "Even if I am not good enough, I still think that my father still loves me, even if it is only a little bit.
I know my younger brother makes father happier, but it is common for fathers to love their youngest sons. I have been trying hard to change and try hard to please you. Are you so unwilling to even look at me that you want to throw me out as soon as possible like a pile of mud?
I am such an eyesore to you, but doesn't my son call me "Grandpa" all day long? Don't you laugh and smile with joy when you see him?
The two of us, father and son, combined, are still no match for your brother, right?
Was I born useless? Did my father really care about me? Did he teach me the same way he taught my younger brother?
When Duke Rong saw his son coming out, he was also shocked. Although he didn't plan to have this son anymore, he didn't plan to quarrel with him in person.
Seeing my eldest son so distraught, I felt a little uncomfortable.
But on second thought, things have come to this point, there is no point in saying more, there is no such thing as a fence-sitter in the world.
Since he had already made up his mind to support Dong Rouer and her son, he had deceived Chen Yu and her son. So what? If he had let them down, so what? After letting them down, he could not let Rouer and her son down again.
After the initial shock and a softening of his heart, Duke Rong regained his stern expression and scolded his eldest son, "You want to blame your father for your own incompetence?
Even if I don't teach you, it's because you are not worthy, and a rotten tree cannot be carved."
After saying that, he threw the procedures for changing his youngest son's surname and name, entering the double genealogy and opening the clan temple in front of Chen Yu and said, "Look at it yourself. If you don't understand anything, you can ask the elders of the clan." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Chen Yu looked at his son and didn't know what to say for a moment. Lihua, on the other hand, felt a little distressed when she saw the child. She had watched him grow up with the young lady.
In Lihua's opinion, although this child is useless and a little confused like the young lady, it is also the same as what the young lady said. Although her young lady has done many stupid things, she has not done anything extremely evil.
My own young master is the same. Although he is known as the Flower and Bird Young Master and seems to be uneducated, he has never done anything evil such as bullying men and women.
Lihua went forward and sat the young master down at a small table nearby. She brought him tea and snacks, just like when they were little, and whispered to him, "It's good that you found out earlier. Miss has been sad too, and now you know what that sadness feels like."
The eldest son looked at the pear blossoms in a daze, then looked down at the snack in front of him. It was the snowflake crispy candy that he had loved since he was a child. He knew in his heart that although his mother had long been disappointed in him, his favorite snack was still here.
For a moment, I was in a state of confusion and couldn't utter a word.
From that day on, the eldest son never returned to the Duke of Rong's Mansion and stayed with Shen Yu.
But he looked listless and rarely spoke.
After listening to what Duke Rong said, Shen Yu went to ask Shen Zhaoshu if it was really possible, as Duke Rong said, to make a false account and then put the debt under the name of the couple and ask her to repay it.
After hearing this, Shen Zhaoshu said, “If he had already started planning and preparing for this a few years ago, it would really take some effort to unravel it.
If the people from each department hastily pieced it together, an experienced accountant or lawyer would easily see through it and it would not be able to serve as any proof.
Things have come to this point, and every step has been a surprise to them. I don't think Duke Rong and Dong Rouer had made such plans a long time ago.
In the past, when you were seriously ill, everyone in the Rongguo Mansion, including all the families, looked down on you. You were like a child, easy to bully and deceive. With such contempt, they were not prepared for this.
Even with years of planning and carefully prepared accounts, there are still loopholes, so don't be afraid.
Even if we really have to go to court, even if it takes several years, whether we hire a lawyer or an accountant, our Yongding Marquis Mansion will accompany him!
He wants to fight to the death. Even if we were a fish, we would have already swam out and his net would have been broken long ago.
While establishing the ancestral temple and establishing the legitimate son, sign the divorce agreement!"
