The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 269 Persuasion

"Their current goal should be the title of nobility. I was originally worried that they would make some moves before you came back. Now that you are back, things will be much easier."

Leng Qingyu said.

"The title of this Marquisate should be inherited by you no matter what. As long as you stand here, that bastard won't have any chance."

"Mother, I understand. I will be in the Marquis' Mansion from now on, and I will never let you suffer any injustice."

Lu Changqing comforted Leng Qingyu.

The mother and her two sons were a little worried, having no idea what was going on in the palace.

Fortunately, Ye Xinran has to go to the palace every day to take care of the prince's health, so she can take the opportunity to ask Prince Rui about it.

"There's no movement over there at the moment."

King Rui’s answers were almost the same every time.

Three days later, he suddenly returned home early.

As soon as he entered the door, he asked someone to call Ye Xinran over, with a heavy expression on his face.

"Is your brother in poor health? Why doesn't he want to get close to others when he is in school?" he asked.

Ye Xinran was stunned by the question.

He stammered, "Okay, I think I heard about it, but he has been staying in Yuntong County since we met, and just returned to the capital a few days ago. I didn't ask him specifically.

What does your Highness mean by asking this question?

Prince Rui did not hide anything and said directly: "Someone from the Ministry of Personnel presented a letter left by your father, Lord Lu.

The letter detailed your brother's shortcomings, one of which is what I just mentioned: he is in poor health and doesn't like to get close to people.

He also mentioned that his concubine's daughter had always been a good student and was highly valued by the teacher in school.

Your father said that for the future of the mansion and to better contribute to the court, he still hopes that the concubine's son will inherit the title in the future."

Ye Xinran was anxious. "This letter must be fake, Lu Tingen, no, my father's death this time was just an accident. How could he have predicted the future and left behind something like this!"

“At first, I thought so too.”

King Rui sighed, "But the bad thing is that this letter is not a will, but a casual chat with friends about family matters.

His friend who worked in the Ministry of Personnel was one of the few people who knew about his romantic affairs.

The emperor was grateful for Lord Lu's dedication to the court over the years. At this critical moment, someone suddenly mentioned that he was still worrying about the court after his death. How could the emperor not be moved! "

"No matter what, Lu Changning doesn't even have a proper identity. It's definitely not his turn to inherit the title." Ye Xinran really couldn't understand.

Aren't noble families said to have strict hierarchy? How could a letter change the outcome?

This is too childish!

Prince Rui glanced at Ye Xinran and said, "He originally had no qualifications, but when Marquis Jing'an was buried, he held the spirit tablet as his son, which means that the Marquis's Mansion has recognized his identity."

Ye Xinran took a breath of cold air.

No wonder my mother looked so bad at the time.

"But what should we do now?"

Everything in the past cannot be changed. Ye Xinran knows that the most important thing now is how to make up for it.

King Rui said: "Now it seems that although the concubine's son is of low status, he has been recognized by Lu Tingen, so the two of them can be said to be competing on the same side.

I can delay for a while. If it really depends on ability, then I can wait until next spring and see the results of the spring examination.

But when it comes to exams, 70% depends on hard work, and 30% depends on luck.

They wanted to help their concubine to the top, so it was inevitable that they would do something at that time.

Unless your brother can come up with something more convincing to make the emperor change his mind."

Something more convincing?

Ye Xinran lowered her head in thought.

The prince is right.

If they really competed with that concubine's daughter in the exam, they would have already been at a disadvantage.

As the eldest son born out of wedlock, Lu Changqing shouldn't give others even the slightest chance.

As for persuasiveness, Ye Xinran suddenly thought of something.
