Seeing that the Lin clan was quiet, Situ Kong pressed Situ Yang, who was still about to speak, and glanced at the Lin clan people who were making various calculations in their hearts: "When my father was alive, I urged my mother to take back these properties many times, but I couldn't take them back for various reasons, which was the biggest regret of my father's life.

It has been six years since my father's death, and now that the cause of his death is in the daylight, it is also my mother's wish to recover the property of the Marquis of Anning Mansion to comfort my father's soul in heaven.

When the Marquis of Anning entrusted the property to the Lin family to take care of, both parties signed a contract. In fact, the contract between the two parties has expired in just a few years, and all the elders must know it in their hearts. ”

After Situ Kong finished speaking, he instructed Situ Yang to go out and call Steward Lin in.

Steward Lin had already prepared to wait outside the study, so he quickly followed Situ Yang into the study.

When Steward Lin came in, he was holding a thick notebook in his hand, but when he opened the notebook, it was a contract signed between the Marquis of Anning Mansion and the Lin family.

These are all the contracts signed with the Lin family to take care of the property since the old lady took charge of the Hou Mansion for a full thirty years.

At that time, the old marquis couldn't resist the old lady, but he always insisted that as long as it was the property of the Marquis of Anning, no matter how small the industry was, as long as it was handed over to others to take care of, it was necessary to sign a contract according to the text, not only for the Lin family.

It's just an industry for the Lin family, and the income left in the hands of the Lin family is much higher than that of other people, and even higher than that of the Situ family.

These contracts are not only retained by the Anning Marquis Mansion, but also have a copy in the hands of the family or individual who manages the property, and they are also guaranteed to be retained in the government.

In this way, even if the old lady hands over all the properties to the Lin family to take care of, as long as the Marquis of Anning can save face. It is not difficult to reclaim the property.

This can also be regarded as the paving for the old marquis to recover the property under his name in desperation.

The people of the Lin family have always known that Situ Kong is a big filial son, and they have always pressed Situ Kong with the word filial piety with the old lady.

Filial piety sounds good to say, but it's not easy to do.

For the sake of this filial piety, Situ Kong lost something, and only Situ Kong understood it in his own heart.

Don't look at the Lin family enjoying the benefits of Situ Kong's filial son, but there are many people who look down on Situ Kong in private.

In their eyes, Situ Kong is a soft egg. Just a word from the old lady. Situ Kong only has the share of obedience.

In the past, they could still use the old lady to pressure Situ Kong, but when Situ Kong clearly told them that this was also what the old lady meant, the people of the Lin family knew that there was very little room for turning around this time.

It's just that they don't want to be caught. Although he was afraid of entering the yamen, he had to suppress the panic in his heart for the sake of the family's interests, but it had little effect.

Seeing that Situ Kong was determined to recover all the property this time, the elders of the Lin family had nothing to do. They had to delay the time and asked for the suspension of the talks.

The shock of this morning was too great for them. Even if they knew that Situ Kong had already obtained the old lady's consent to act like this, they had to digest it and find a way to deal with it by the way.

Seeing that the hour was already noon, Situ Kong didn't want to push too hard. He asked Steward Lin to send people out of the study, and asked them to send them back to the courtyard where they lived temporarily to eat and rest, and made an appointment to return to the study to discuss again.

"I didn't expect that half of the industry in our house is in the hands of the Lin family." Situ Yang returned to Meiyuan. Described the situation in the study in detail with Han and Situ Jiao, and finally sighed.

"So many? But think about it. Since your grandmother was in charge of the family, some properties have been handed over to the Lin family every year for management, and for this matter, the Situ family doesn't know how many times they have quarreled with your grandfather. Situ Kong's words brought Han's memory back to many years ago, and his eyes were a little empty.

"This is strange, the ancestor of our Anning Hou Mansion came out of Shunping County, although the blood relationship between us and the Situ family in Shunping County is getting farther and farther away, but in the end it is an ancestor. A good inheritance is handed over to a foreign surname, even if it is the grandmother's maiden family. Situ Jiao wanted to know more, so she couldn't help but sigh and took over.

"What's so strange that my grandmother was such a strong person who held both grandfather and father in her hands. Alas, how can you say that the men in our Anning Hou Mansion are all soft? No, I can't be such a soft man in the future, a man has to have a man's blood. Situ Yang straightened his chest as he spoke, as if such a chest could make him more manly.

Han just glanced at Situ Yang and didn't speak.

It is true that the men in the Hou Mansion of Anning are soft, but this softness also depends on who the other party is, like Situ Kong, who is only soft on his own old lady, and listens to the old lady's arrangement for everything, which really makes Han depressed.

Situ Jiao pushed Situ Yang angrily: "It's not wrong to be soft, it's what kind of thing is wrong to what kind of person is right!" In short, it's right to be soft when it's soft, but don't be soft when it's time to be tough.

Brother Ke must remember that the kind of man who is his wife and children is definitely not a good man, and a weak man who can't protect his wife and children is not a man! ”

Such words came from Situ Jiao, who was only twelve years old, and it sounded a little weird, but it made Han really agree with it in his heart.

And Situ Jiao's words brought Situ Yang a strong shock.

He always felt that it was because of his soft-heartedness that Situ Kong couldn't protect Han and Situ Jiao, but now that Situ Jiao said this, he felt that Situ Kong was extremely hard-hearted in dealing with Han and Situ Jiao.

"By the way, Lin Shuqin really wrote a confession?" Situ Jiao was most curious about Lin Shuqin's confession.

"Well, although the handwriting is a little sloppy, it is definitely her handwriting, and no one in the Lin family has questioned it." Situ Yang nodded.

Situ Jiao was very curious, what kind of mentality Lin Shuqin had at that time, so that she would obediently write a confession, well, presumably Situ Kong agreed to Lin Shuqin's conditions.

"Don't think about what you don't have. Hou Ye just promised that he would try his best to find a good family for Situ Jin in the future. As soon as Han saw Situ Jiao's expression, he knew that she was thinking about the reason for this again, gently rubbed the top of her head, and simply told Situ Kong what she had told her.

"Just that? But it's not hard to say, it's not easy to say! As for the second sister's temperament, she will have a headache in the future, ala......s, "Situ Jiao didn't believe it, but since Han said so, Situ Jiao couldn't refute Han's face, and finally decided to believe this statement for the time being, but he was worried about Han's situation.
