She was afraid and she didn't dare to gamble.

It was Yun Hao who almost killed Yun Zhan. Yun Hao was her second legitimate son. Yun Zhan must have hated Yun Hao in his heart, and also hated her as his legitimate mother.

She thought the same as Yun Ce. She also felt that Yun Zhan would most likely not dare to attack Yun Ce out of filial piety. After all, Yun Zhan had a bright future now, and there was no need for him to kill his father and ruin his own future.

But just because Yun Zhan doesn't dare to kill his father doesn't mean he doesn't dare to kill Yun Hao.

If Yun Zhan was pushed into a corner, he would just attack Yun Hao to demonstrate to Yun Ce, then what should I do? !

In the past, Prince Chen could cripple Yun Hao's arm to vent his anger on Yun Zhan, but today, Prince Chen might turn a blind eye and watch Yun Zhan kill Yun Hao.

Madam Yun didn't dare to take risks with her son's life. She was afraid that Yun Ce would break free from her, so she held Yun Ce's arm tightly and coaxed him, "Master, since the prince has given the title to A Zhan, let's divide the family."

"There's still time for teeth to collide with tongue, so why wait until your mouth is full of blood to regret it?"

When a family lives together under the same roof, no matter how close they are, conflicts are inevitable. Not to mention that the brothers Yun Hao and Yun Zhan are already enemies. If they live together, wouldn't it be sooner or later that something bad happens? !

Yun Ce's face became even gloomier, as if shrouded in layers of dark clouds.

Not only was he indignant about having his title taken away from him, but he also felt ashamed that his dignity as a father had been repeatedly trampled upon. He knew that Madam Yun was right, but he was unwilling to let Yun Zhan, this evil creature, succeed.

At this moment, a short and fat woman ran out of the hall, panting, and shouted, "Master... Master, the clan leader and the elders are here!"

Everyone was shocked again.

Yun Ce was so angry that his face turned blue.

He did not ask anyone to invite the clan leader and elders. Besides, it took less than two cups of tea for the King Chen's decree to arrive at the Yun family. The clan leader and elders came so quickly. It must be that Yun Zhan had sent someone to invite the clan leader and elders before returning home.

However, at this moment, Yun Ce had no choice. He couldn't drive away the clan leader and elders, so he could only bite the bullet and let the mother-in-law invite people here.

As soon as the clan leader and elders arrived, Yunzhan went straight to the point and talked about his desire to divide the family.

"No!" Yun Ce expressed his attitude eagerly, and said word by word, "I don't agree to split up!"

The clan leader and the elders looked at each other. They didn't expect Yun Zhan to make such a request. They frowned slightly in disapproval. As the old saying goes, as long as the parents are alive, the family will not be divided.

The clan leader cleared his throat and tried to persuade Yun Zhan, but Yun Zhan didn't want to listen and said indifferently, "Either you split up the family or I don't want this title anymore, then the Yun family will be nothing. Think it over carefully."

What?! The clan leader and the elders all widened their eyes.

The other members of the Yun family were also confused and unsure whether Yun Zhan was serious or bluffing.

"Azhan, the title concerns the entire Yun family, you can't just say this casually!" The clan leader said with a serious face. The title of the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery concerns more than just the honor of this branch of the Earl's Mansion.

Yun Zhan stared at the clan leader and said bluntly, "Grandun, my father and my eldest brother colluded with Kang Hongda. Now Kang Hongda has been convicted and is about to be executed. What about the Yun family?"

“…”

“…”

“…”

The surroundings suddenly fell into silence, so quiet that it was scary.

The clan leader and the elders all widened their eyes in disbelief, unable to hide their horror.

This is what they don't know.

After a brief moment of daze, the clan leader and elders gradually came to their senses and looked at Yun Ce.

Yun Ce's eyes were wandering and he didn't dare to look directly at the clan leader.

Now, the clan leader and the elders were certain that what Yun Zhan said was true.

The clan leader's heart tightened, and he was almost going crazy. He wanted to scold Yun Ce, asking if he was crazy for being involved with Kang Hongda! But now, scolding him was in vain.

Since Yunzhan knew it, it meant that Prince Chen must also know it.

Prince Chen is not making things difficult for the Yun family now because of Yun Zhan's sake. If Yun Zhan does not inherit the title, Prince Chen will not show mercy, and the title passed down by their ancestors will probably be lost.

The eyes of the clan leader and elders became uneasy, as if countless ants were crawling across their hearts, making them feel uneasy.

During this period of time, many families who had benefited from Kang Hongda have been implicated by Kang Hongda. Some lost their titles, some were dismissed from office, some had their properties confiscated, some were imprisoned, and some were exiled.

The fate of these people is a lesson for the Yun family! Now, the clan leader did not dare to have any fluke mentality. He gritted his teeth and resolutely said, "Separate the family!"

That's right, we must split up! The other elders also nodded.

Lian Yunce and his son Yunli also remained silent, as they were also afraid of being implicated by Kang Hongda.

One of the elders forced a warm smile at Yun Zhan and said, "Ah Zhan, how should this family property be divided? We need to sit down and discuss it carefully."

The scale in the hearts of many clan elders has actually already been biased: Yun Ce and Yun Li have lost their titles, and their future is destined to decline, but Yun Zhan is different. He has inherited the title of the Earl's Mansion and is highly valued by King Chen. Perhaps this Earl of Loyalty and Bravery can be promoted to Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and the title can even be passed down for several more generations.

Yunzhan bluntly put forward his conditions: "Everything belongs to me, and others can only take away dowry and private property."

"Within three days, everyone else moved out."

"Let's write a document."

Yunzhan's matter-of-fact attitude shocked Yunce, Yunli and others.

The key to family division is the word "division". How can you divide a family like this? This time, Yun Li, the eldest son of the Yun family, couldn't help but shout out and scolded Yun Zhan: "Fifth brother, you are going too far!"

Yun Ce had a gloomy face and said coldly: "Yun Zhan, have you ever heard the saying, greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant?!"

At this moment, Yun Ce really hated his son Yun Zhan to the core.

If the title was the price he paid for Kang Hongda's matter, he accepted it, but Yun Zhan's desire to take away most of the Yun family's assets was too cruel.

Several other members of the Yun family also nodded frequently, standing on the side of Yun Ce and Yun Li, but they did not dare to speak for fear of offending Yun Zhan.

The hall was getting noisier and noisier, mixed with the voices of other members of the Yun family talking to each other.

Although the elders of the clan were inclined to support Yunzhan, they also felt that the way the family was divided was inappropriate and that Yunzhan was asking for too much.

"Ahem," the clan leader cleared his throat again and tried to discuss with Yunzhan, "Azhan, this..."

"Write the paperwork immediately. Either separate them or separate me." Yun Zhan said calmly, "Anyway, I don't bother to take care of the Yun family's mess."

The patriarch was shocked and understood the hidden meaning in Yunzhan's words.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Yun Zhan meant that if he was separated today, he would no longer be involved in the Yun family’s affairs in the future.

The patriarch's eyes flickered and he hesitated.

Yun Hao couldn't help but yelled at the top of his voice: "Granduncle, don't listen to Yun Zhan!"

"How could Yunzhan not want such a good title of Earl?"

Yun Hao, the third son of the Yun family, had a face that turned red with anger. He roared hysterically, his heart filled with resentment, shame, disgust, etc.

Yunzhan is just a lowly bastard, but just because he is with the Prince of Chen, he thinks he has flown to the top and can dominate his father, elder brother and himself! Even a fool knows that Yunzhan finally got this title, and finally got what he wanted, so how could he not want the title! ! Yunzhan raised the corner of his lips with a smile, his eyes still clear, and asked them: "Do I care about this title?"

"Will it?"

He had a smile on his face, but his eyes were icy cold.

His words were just a brief mention, but everyone understood what he meant.

Yun Ce pursed his lips tightly, clenched his fists together, and there seemed to be a storm brewing in his eyes.

The Yun family has the title of earl, but no real power. They just receive the salary of an earl and hold a sinecure. To be frank, a title without real power is just a nice name. In fact, outsiders simply look down on you.

But Yunzhan had followed King Chen since he came to the Northland, had fought on the battlefield for many years, and had made many military achievements. Only then could he stand out among the Northland Army and the Black Armor Army at the young age and be valued by King Chen.

Now Prince Chen is going to ascend the throne at the beginning of next month, and the next big move will certainly be to purge the civil and military officials in the court and replace them with his people. It is certain that Yun Zhan will have real power. Even if Yun Zhan does not want the title of Earl of Loyalty and Bravery today, he is still Prince Chen's confidant, and the whole capital will be a little inferior to him and have to respect him a little.

If Yun Zhan was gone, the Yun family's title would definitely be taken away and their property would be confiscated due to Yun Ce's crime of colluding with Kang Hongda.

When the clan leader and elders thought of this, they couldn't help but shudder, and a chill quickly spread throughout their bodies.

Yes, if it weren't for Yun Zhan, not only would the Yun family be stripped of their titles, their property would be confiscated, and they might even be exiled to the border areas. By then, let alone the family property, I'm afraid many people would die on the way to exile.

From the moment Yun Ce dared to take sides in the game between Prince Chen and the late emperor, he was betting his title, property and even his clansmen.

The clan leader and the elders looked at each other again and saw the decision in each other's eyes.

It is not difficult to choose which is more important, Yunce or Yunzhan.

As long as the Yun family has this title of Earl, even if the titles of nobility are not theirs, it is still a kind of confidence, because to the outside world, their Yun family is noble; but if they lose the title of nobility as a support, they will lose the biggest support, then, won't the Yun family become a poor family that everyone can step on? !

Yun Ce was so angry that he could not see the other people's hesitation. He angrily said to the clan leader, "Uncle, you saw it too. Yun Zhan, the rebellious son, dared to threaten me in front of you!"

"He is asking for all the Yun family's property. This is not dividing the family, but expelling me, his father, from the family!!"

“…”

Yun Ce kept talking incessantly, but when a person has made a decision in his heart, no matter how much Yun Ce said, it was all nonsense.

The clan leader interrupted Yun Ce and said, "Yunce, you were the one who made the mistake first...just divide it according to Ah Zhan's wishes."

The other elders also nodded, showing that they were united.

Yun Ce sneered repeatedly, his face as cold as frost.

How could he agree to hand over such a huge family business to others? In his opinion, the Yun family's title and property all belonged to him. Only when he passed away in the future would he pass it on to the prince. He never thought that one day everything would be taken away from him and he would be driven out of the house!

Madam Yun was equally unwilling and screamed, "That's right, why should Yun Zhan be the only one to receive the family fortune!"

At this moment, Madam Yun no longer cared whether Yun Zhan would take revenge on Yun Hao. What she had to protect first was the interests of her own family. How could she allow Yun Zhan, a bastard, to get both the title and the family property!

The clan leader and the elders surrounded Yun Ce and his wife, advising them one by one: "Yunce, you should be content with what you have. With your private property, your future life will not be too bad."

"Since the title was given to Azhan, the estate of the Earl's Mansion is originally connected to the title. In the past, you inherited both the title and the estate."

What they meant was that Yun Ce had never divided his family property among his uncles and brothers before.

Giving up such a huge family business is like cutting off a large piece of flesh and blood from him. Yun Ce certainly refused to back down: "Uncle, you are guilty of saying this! I think you have all been bribed by Yun Zhan, the rebellious son!!"
