Chapter 110: The Ancestral Hall
"Xu Shiyun, you and I have been married for eighteen years. I will give you one last chance!"
"If you are willing to register Jing Huai and Jing Yao under your name and make Jing Huai the heir, you can still be the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion!"
"How can you, a divorced woman, lead a good life with three sons and one daughter?"
"Yanshu is disabled, and he is a burden to the whole family. We can't just go back to the Xu family to beg for money, right?" Lu Yuanze looked at Xu and sighed.
"Jing Huai is a promising man and will definitely bring you honor in the future. If you are willing to admit your mistakes, the Marquis' Mansion will not divorce you. Yuan Ze is a man who cherishes old times and is willing to give you another chance." The old lady glanced at her and saw Xu's sarcastic eyes, and she couldn't help getting angry.
Why do you ridicule her, she is an old and ugly woman who was driven out of the mansion?
"Old lady, you should just bear the huge wealth of the Marquis' Mansion. Don't cry and regret it in the future!" Xu sneered.
"Dengzhi, have the elders of the clan been invited?"
Dengzhi narrowed his eyes and said, "Here they come. Patriarch Lu and all the elders are welcome back."
The elders returned to the Lu family with gloomy faces.
"Lu Yuanze, you are still short of one thousand taels of the three thousand taels you promised last time. Don't forget it!" Patriarch Lu began to reprimand as soon as he entered the door.
Lu Yuanze's face turned dark.
"I think you are crazy. You want to divorce such a good wife?"
"Yanshu is the blood of my Lu family. He is the eldest son of the Lu family. Aren't you afraid that the old marquis will jump out of the coffin and slap you?" When the clan leader saw that he wanted to divorce and leave all the descendants of the Lu family, he was immediately furious.
Lu Yuanze frowned and said nothing.
The patriarch was so angry that his fingers were shaking and he was cursing loudly.
"I think you've been living a life of luxury and have lost your mind! You'll regret it one day after the divorce!" The clan leader knew very well that before the Lu family married Xu, they lived a very frugal life and their mansion was very dilapidated.
At the end of each year, the fruits and vegetables given to them were not fresh.
Since marrying Xu, the entire mansion has been renovated, and the annual gifts given to the old house start from a thousand taels.
"Regret? My Lu family is a noble mansion, how can we not live without a woman like her?"
"Jing Huai, you are much better than those evil creatures!"
The old lady was not happy.
"Thank you for taking the trouble to make this trip, elder. This is a little gift from Yunniang." Before the end of the first month of the lunar year, they were troubled to come from afar, and Xu gave them a generous red envelope.
The patriarch held the red envelope, looked at her, and sighed softly.
Lu Yanshu, who was sitting in a wheelchair, nodded to the clan leader: "Third Uncle."
The patriarch was even more distressed.
This child has a very good character. When the old marquis was alive, he liked him very much and was even proud of him.
Lu Yuanze, this foolish father, actually wanted to remove them from the ancestral hall.
"You are a good child. Your father is confused." The patriarch's eyelids twitched.
Whose family can remove the eldest son from the family tree? ?
No, three sons and one daughter!
"Yanshu is good, but he is disabled. Clan leader, he is not worthy of being the heir of the Marquisate. Since they want to go with the Xu family, then let them go."
"Clan leader, you haven't met Jing Huai yet, right?" The old lady mentioned Lu Jing Huai with a smile on her face.
"Jing Huai is a man of real talent and learning. He is much more blessed than Yan Shu. The child's articles are praised all over Beijing." The old lady was very happy. How could she not be happy that her beloved grandson had returned to his ancestral home?
Just at this moment, Pei entered the gate of the Marquis' Mansion with her two children.
Lu Jinghuai was wearing a blue shirt and holding his sister Lu Jingyao's hand. As soon as they entered the room, they bowed to the old lady.
"grandmother."
"grandmother."
"Oh, oh, my dearest children. I can finally hear you call me grandma, and you are raised by my side..." The old lady cried for joy and hurried forward to help the two children up.
Several children from the Lu family gathered around Xu and looked at their family coldly.
The clan leader frowned slightly, but Lu Jinghuai didn't even glance at him.
I never even called him uncle.
Lu Jinghuai had seen him before, but he didn't pay much attention to him because he was dressed shabbily.
The faces of the elders in the clan turned a little colder.
Children raised outside really can't compare to the generosity of Xu's family.
The Xu family's children are not only talented but also have excellent moral character.
Every year, I would kowtow to him respectfully, and if he had any good things, he would even give me a portion.
His character is one in a million.
Pei smiled and raised her eyebrows at Xu, her eyes filled with the joy of a winner.
So what if Xu will be reincarnated?
My son is not doing well.
Xu just held Chaochao's hand and looked at her coldly.
"Is everyone here?" The old patriarch sighed deeply.
For some reason, he always felt that Lu Yuanze would regret it.
"Everyone is here, let's open the temple." Xu's face was indifferent.
"Open the ancestral hall." The old patriarch said in a steady and powerful voice, and several clan members pushed open the door.
The family tree that the patriarch brought from Qingxi has been placed in front of the ancestral tablet.
The old patriarch held the pen and only added names to the family tree when a new member was born, but there was never any precedent of removing a name from the family tree. I feel quite uncomfortable.
"Do you really want to remove him from the list?" the old patriarch asked again and again.
Lu Yuanze turned to look at Lu Yanshu: "Do you really want to leave the house with her? She is a divorced woman, and you will have a hard life if you follow her."
After all, Lu Yuanze was reluctant to part with his own son.
Pei's expression changed.
Of course she would love for Xu to take the children away.
Lu Yanshu said calmly, "Dad, I don't like Yanshu being paralyzed in bed, so I won't be a bother to you."
Lu Yuanze paused, and seeing Pei's glare, he had to nod.
The old patriarch looked on coldly, sighed, and grabbed the pen.
"Lu Yanshu, the eldest son of the Lu family, was born... at the age of seventeen, and was expelled from the family."
"Lu Zhengyue, the second son of the Lu family, was born... expelled from the family."
"Lu Yuanxiao, the third son of the Lu family... is expelled."
Lu Chaochao, she was not even on the family tree.
[The letter of severing the relationship! The letter of severing the relationship!] ! 】
[You must write a letter of severance!] What if his brothers become rich in the future and he comes to take advantage of them? What should I do if he tries to show off his father's power again? 】Lu Chaochao kept muttering.
All the brothers were startled.
Xu's lips curled up: "Since the Marquis dislikes the child being a burden, then we should end it completely and write a letter of severance!"
Lu Yuanze suddenly looked up at her.
Pei could hardly suppress the smile on her face.
If you write a letter of severing ties, then you'll be like strangers to each other.
The old patriarch's heart sank: "Why must it come to this? Even if we divorce amicably, Yuanze is still their father." If they really write a letter of severance, there will be no room for maneuver.
"Sister Xu, you have to think about the children too. In the future, when Jing Huai reaches a high position in the government, he will be able to help his brothers." Pei held her handkerchief and tried to suppress the smile on her lips.
"My Lord, please beg my sister, there is no need to break off the engagement letter." Pei deliberately provoked Lu Yuanze, making him so angry that his eyes turned red.
"Write! If we break off the relationship, then we will break off the relationship. My Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion doesn't need them!"
"Write a letter of severance in front of all the elders and ancestors of the Lu family! I want to see how tough you are! Without the Marquis' Mansion, you are nothing!" Lu Yuanze immediately ordered someone to bring paper and pen.
All three children wrote letters of severance of ties.
Then press the fingerprint.
Lu Chaochao also pressed his finger.
