Chapter 552 The Family Is Deep and Intertwined
The majestic and powerful words shook the huge main hall.
Rao Shi Mu Wanrou couldn't help but be astonished.
Mu Sheng actually threatened Mu Yazhe with the inheritance rights of the Mu family's patriarch?
While Mu Wanrou was shocked in her heart, she was secretly self-satisfied at the same time. The doting of Mu Wanrou made her even more confident.
Hearing this, Mu Yazhe's eyes narrowed slightly.
Yes, how could he forget.
When Mu Sheng announced the marriage contract, he also announced that he would become the successor of the Mu family's head. How could he forget that the reason why he was able to get the right of inheritance was not because of how good he was, but entirely based on this marriage contract.
It's just that the reason why he agreed to this marriage contract at the beginning was for no other reason, but Mu Sheng promised him straight to the point that if he entered into a marriage contract with Mu Wanrou, he would give him the inheritance of the Mu family's patriarch.
Undoubtedly, this made him very excited.
The huge Mu family is intertwined, and there are too many interests involved.
It would not be an exaggeration to describe the Mu family as an ancient royal family.
For the time being, regardless of the branch of the Mu family, or the illegitimate children of Mu Sheng who lived abroad, let alone Mu Sheng's three-bedroom wife, these three-bedroom wives are also very competitive, and gave birth to five sons for him, three daughter.
At that time, among the five sons, Mu Sheng was most satisfied with Mu Lianjue, who came from these three houses.
In terms of skill, ability, and courage, Mu Lianjue is the best of the five sons, and he is also the most promising candidate to succeed the Mu family's head.
However, Mu Sheng paid great attention to the distinction between descendants.
Although this Mu Lianjue is excellent, Mu Sheng appreciates it and appreciates it, but after all, he is a concubine. He believes that a concubine can't be in the hall of elegance. Since ancient times, there is no reason for a concubine to inherit the head of the family.
Mu Liancheng is the direct descendant of the main family. Although he is not as good as Mu Lianjue in every aspect, but because of this direct descendant status, he is also Mu Sheng's default candidate for the head of the family.
It's just that this Mu Liancheng was about to take over the power of the Mu clan, but he died young at a young age. Therefore, the position of the head of the Mu clan has been left vacant.
The power of the Mu family has always been held by Mu Sheng, but after all, he is old, and he has not chosen a successor, which will inevitably cause turmoil within the family.
In ancient times, there were nine dragons competing for the throne. At that time, Emperor Kangxi had twenty-four sons. Among them, nine sons participated in the struggle for the throne.
Looking at the rich and powerful, in order to compete for the power of the head of the family and become the master of the family's life and death, there are not a few brothers in the family who turn against each other and kill each other.
This was because Mu Sheng was eager to select a new candidate for the successor of the Mu family's patriarch, so as to stabilize the family, so as not to cause some unnecessary turmoil.
Mu Sheng has been looking for the next family leader.
But Mu Yazhe was the one he was most satisfied with.
Even though Mu Yazhe was only fourteen years old at the time, he was deeply appreciated by Mu Sheng.
He believes that among the many descendants, Mu Yazhe's ability is extremely eye-catching.
At that time, the young Mu Yazhe also eagerly hoped to obtain the right of inheritance as the head of the family, so as to consolidate his position in the family.
Mu Liancheng died early, leaving behind an orphan and a widowed mother. Mu Yazhe was only fourteen years old, but he already knew very well that he was in such a big family.
If it weren't for the power of the Jiang family's mother clan, I'm afraid that the young Mu Yazhe would be a mermaid in this whirlpool of power replacement.
