"Suluo!"
"You are the blood of the Marquisate, so you should give birth to more descendants for the Marquisate!"
"There are seven women here. As long as you choose one of them to be your wife, Xiaoyun Village will be your fiefdom!"
"The Marquis' Mansion will give you three years. Within three years, no matter what means you use, as long as you can collect 10,000 taels of tax silver from Xiaoyun Village, you will have the opportunity to return to the Marquis' Mansion!"
"You may even have the chance to become the young master of my mansion!"
Great Xia Holy Dynasty, Qingzhou, Linshui County.
The ancestral hall of the Sinan Marquis Mansion was filled with thick smoke and incense.
Several clan elders surrounded a young man and coldly announced the arrangements for him. Before they finished speaking, several sneers were heard outside the ancestral hall.
"Haha, Su Luo, this little bastard, a complete waste, wants to return to the Marquis' Mansion? He is just dreaming. It's good enough that he doesn't starve to death!"
"You've offended the Madam, and you still think you'll have a good ending? Look at the seven women the Marquis's Mansion has chosen for him. Tsk tsk, each one is worse than the other. Anyone who gets involved with one of them will be unlucky for the rest of his life!"
"Some even include the legendary Cursed Girl!"
"No matter which one Su Luo chooses, he is doomed to die!"
A majestic voice sounded in Su Luo's ears. He raised his head, his eyes still a little dazed.
Traveled through time?!
Su Luo clearly remembered that he was on a battlefield filled with smoke just now, and when he turned around, he appeared in the ancestral hall of the Si Nanhou Mansion!
Strange memories surged in his mind, and the slight pain made him realize that the scene before him was not a dream, nor was it fake, everything was real!
He went from being a battlefield mercenary to the illegitimate son of Marquis Sinan.
His name is also Su Luo, but his life story is miserable. His mother was originally a maid of Marquis Si Nan. She became pregnant after the Marquis favored her while he was drunk.
In order to avoid being discovered by the jealous lady of the Marquis' Mansion and causing Su Luo's death, Su Luo's mother would rather leave the Marquis' Mansion alone and hide in a small mountain village even though she was pregnant.
The mother and son depended on each other for sixteen years, until three months ago, when Su Luo's mother died of illness. She was still brooding over her father's death before her death, so Su Luo went to the Marquis' Mansion to recognize his relatives.
He wanted to seek a status for his mother, even if it was just to be recognized by Marquis Si Nan.
However, Su Luo was still too naive. Even after entering the Marquis' Mansion, the Marquis Si Nan had never shown up once in three months!
Instead, the eldest lady appeared.
After all, he is the blood of the Marquis' Mansion, so the First Madam doesn't dare to do anything to Su Luo openly.
However, she wanted Su Luo to admit his mistake.
As long as Su Luo bows his head and admits that his mother was wrong and that she was the one who seduced the Marquis... then, the Marquis's wife can accept Su Luo as her son!
May Su Luo have a prosperous future!
How could Su Luo be willing to agree? If he agreed, his mother would be completely ruined, bearing the name of a slut for the rest of her life, and she would never be able to rest in peace even after her death!
The eldest lady of the Marquis' Mansion was furious, which led to this scene!
"I am a great soldier king, but I turned into a miserable illegitimate child?!"
Su Luo was a little depressed, but he also thought optimistically: "However, the white light before I died should be the shameless Ugly Country dropping an atomic bomb on the Middle East. I am lucky to be alive!"
Thinking of this, Su Luo felt much better. Although the current situation was not favorable to him, he did not take it too seriously.
After all, with his ability in his previous life, he was just the eldest lady of a marquis's mansion. If he were given some time, he would make the eldest lady kneel down and call him daddy!
However, as someone with the blood of a marquis, one does need to take an assessment after turning eighteen years old.
You need to choose a wife and go to a place in Linshui County to take care of her. Only after completing the requirements can you return to the Marquis' Mansion!
If you cannot meet the requirements, you will stay in the local area forever, expand and work for the Marquis' Mansion forever!
But generally speaking, fiefdoms, wives and assessment requirements are all related!
The eldest lady manipulated things secretly, thinking that the life of an illegitimate child was worthless, and arranged for Su Luo to be given the fiefdom with the worst environment, the most unbearable wife, and the highest assessment requirements!
Three years, ten thousand taels of silver, an average of more than three thousand taels a year, may not seem like much!
However, there are only dozens of households in Xiaoyun Village, and it is already good to have a hundred taels of tax silver a year!
Ten thousand taels? How is that even possible?!
This was obviously meant to make things difficult for Su Luo, as the mansion was unwilling to let Su Luo return!
It can even be said that he wanted to force Su Luo to death!
"Hey, it's a good thing for a young man to want to stand up for his mother, but he's too rash and takes it for granted..."
Su Luo commented in his heart, and then smiled again: "But, since I'm here, you can go without worry!"
"After I take over your body, your mother is my mother. Not only will I seek a legitimate status for our mother, but I will also do it openly and aboveboard to suppress that old witch!"
"And that cheap father of ours, if he doesn't want to see us, then we'll make him regret it for the rest of his life, and then he'll cry and beg to see us!"
His thoughts were churning, but to outsiders his expression seemed dull and he was unwilling to accept the facts.
An elder of the Su family said in a serious tone: "Su Luo!"
"What are you still standing there for?! Make your choice quickly. If you don't choose a wife within one stick of incense, you will be considered to have given up the assessment and will go to the border to join the army!"
Join the army?!
Are you kidding? Right now, Daxia is facing external and internal troubles, and there are wars everywhere!
Not to mention that if we go to the border, the eldest lady might make trouble and we might die silently!
Although Su Luo is confident in himself, his conditions are not yet at the point where he can fight against the eldest lady. He'd better stay calm and develop for a while.
