Lu Ze, the second son of the county lord of Chang'an, was sad when he heard the news of his father's disappearance, but in fact, there was a wave of ecstasy in his heart.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Zhenguo Mansion is a family with a prominent family background, but Lu Ze is not very happy about it. It's just because although he has the title of Duke in his family, this title has nothing to do with him.

Since he was born, there has been a brother who is better than him in all aspects pressing on top of his head, no matter how good he is, the world can only see Lu Chengting in the eyes.

Since he was a child, what he heard the most was his praise for his brother, and the more he listened, the more envious, jealous and hateful he became.

Originally, in this life, he could only live under the halo of his brother, but now, he sees a different future.

First, his grandfather was poisoned and paralyzed in bed, and then his eldest brother fell off a cliff and was gnawed beyond recognition by wild beasts, and now his father is missing and his life and death are unknown.

As his father's second son, the son of the Zhenguo Mansion can only be inherited by him in the future, and this imperial mansion is his, and the title of the Duke of the Kingdom is naturally his.

As long as he thought that he would be the prince of the Zhenguo Mansion in the future, he couldn't help but be ecstatic in his heart. It won't be long before the world will forget his eldest brother Lu Chengting, and what will be remembered is Lu Ze, the grandfather of his mansion.

Hearing the news that Guogong was missing and his life and death were unknown, the county lord of Chang'an fell ill.

Lu Ze was still good to his mother, and when he saw that she was sad, he asked the maids and women who were waiting to retreat, and then he comforted her, "Mother, don't worry, even if your father is missing, you still have me."

Mother, haven't you always wanted me to inherit the throne of the Guogong Mansion? Now my grandfather is paralyzed in bed, and my eldest brother is dead, and in the future, the title of the prince of the state will be mine, and the title of the prince of the country will only be inherited by me in the future......"

The county lord of Chang'an listened to his son's words and immediately reacted.

That's right, that scumbag is dead, and the son of the Guogong Mansion will be her son's in the future. Even if the husband disappears, when the old prince dies, the title of the prince is not her son's, and this mansion is all her son's.

The county lord of Chang'an, who had figured it out, suddenly disappeared without a trace of the sadness in his heart, and the smiles on the faces of the mother and son couldn't be suppressed.

Xu is knowing that in the future, everyone else in the Guogong Mansion will no longer be able to snatch away, and the county lord of Chang'an is in a good mood, so he got up from the bed the next day.

Handle the aftermath for Lu Chengting and Xiao Jinyue.

Unaware outsiders praised this, saying that the stepmother of the Duchess was a very good person, and her husband was missing

The death is unknown, but he still endures his grief and handles the aftermath for the dead Lu Chengting and Xiao Jinyue.

On the other side, the sick Mrs. Tai called the second master Lu Jianqi over, and then waved away the maid and wife who were waiting beside her, and then said to him, "Qi'er, Brother Ting'er's funeral, you have more snacks." Leave everything to your subordinates to do, and if you can do it yourself, you can do more. ”

When the second master heard his mother's words, he didn't think so, and thought that his mother called him over to discuss something important. The nephew's future affairs are handled by his sister-in-law, and there are also people in the Manchu Mansion, where can he do anything.

Mrs. Tai knew what he was thinking after just a glance, and sighed in her heart, her son is good at everything, but this mind is too simple, and she can't see the situation in the house clearly.

In fact, it's also to blame her, since she was a child, in order not to make people suspicious, she never revealed her thoughts to him, let alone taught him to compete with others for anything.

It's a good thing that her son doesn't know what she wants. But now I have to tell him so that he can know what he should do in the future.

Mrs. Tai took a deep breath and directly said what she thought in her heart, "Qi'er, now that your father is paralyzed in bed, your eldest brother is missing and his life and death are unknown, and the title of the Guogong Mansion must always be inherited." I plan to wait for Brother Ting'er's funeral, and then I will hand you an excerpt to the emperor, so that he can make you the prince of the country and inherit your father's title. ”

When the second master heard this, he was stunned, and his eyes widened in surprise.

The second old man blurted out, "Mother, are you feverish and confused?" ”

His first reaction was, was his mother delirious because of the news of his eldest brother's disappearance?

Mrs. Tai glared at him angrily, "I'm in good health." ”

The second master was puzzled, "Mother, since you are not burned, then why are you talking nonsense?" ”

"Where did I talk nonsense?"

The second master still had a skeptical look on his face, since her mother was not confused, how could she say that she wanted to ask him for the title of Duke of the Kingdom.

"Mother, although Brother Ting'er is dead, the eldest brother is just missing, and he has not disappeared to say that he is dead. How did you come up with the idea of asking for a knighthood? Besides, even if the eldest brother dies, the title should be inherited by Ze Ge'er! ”

The second master always knew that the title of the Guogong Mansion belonged to his eldest brother. His eldest brother had two sons, and even if he died, the title would belong to his son.

Although Tingge'er, who is now the prince, is dead, his eldest brother has a second son, Lu Ze.

It stands to reason that the title of the Guogong Mansion will be inherited by Lu Ze in the future.

The second old man knew that he had a very good brother, and the title of the Guogong Mansion was his. The eldest nephew is the son of the world, and he has been very good since he was a child, and he must be a very good prince in the future.

The title of the long house, no matter how it turns, it can't be his turn.

The second master knew this very well, so he never had any thoughts about the title of the Guogong Mansion since he was a child.

Mrs. Tai glanced at him deeply and said directly, "Brother Ze'er is still young, and he can't afford the title of the Duke Mansion." Even if he is named the Duke of the Kingdom, he will not be able to protect the military power of the Duke of the Kingdom. ”

The second master's brows were tightly furrowed, and there was no trace of joy in his heart.

Although he knew that his mother was right, if he was named the prince of the country, it would mean that he had snatched the title from his nephew.

Although the name of the prince is big, it is not good to say.

snatching his nephew's title, such a shameless approach, what will the world think of him, and how will he gain a foothold in the court in the future?

"Mother, although Ze Ge'er is still young, he is the son of the eldest brother, and the title of the Guogong Mansion should be inherited by him. In fact, at his age, he can also take on the responsibility of the national government. If you are worried that he will not be able to protect the military power, it is a big deal that my third brother and I will assist him more in the future, and then let the generals around my father teach him more. ”

Mrs. Tai didn't expect that since his son was not moved by the title of the Guogong Mansion at all, he persuaded him for a long time, but the second master still insisted on letting Lu Ze inherit the title.

After the second master left, Mama Gong comforted Mrs. Tai, "The second master just didn't change his mind for a while, don't worry, give him a little time first, he will figure it out." ”

Mrs. Tai was so angry that she began to regret that she had taught this son too purely.

It doesn't matter if the son doesn't understand, she, the mother, will help him figure it out, and it's a big deal to get rid of another one.

Originally, she didn't want to take this step, but she had been planning for so many years, not to make wedding dresses for others.
