Chapter 25 Adopted Son

Du Jingxian was so humiliated by this conversation that he couldn't even lift his head.

Then he said with dissatisfaction.

"Auntie, I respect you as an elder and don't care about it. With my business status, even if I have the ability to take the imperial examination, I still can't enter the gate of the Gongyuan. Why do I want to stab my nephew's heart? ?”

"Oh, it's really our couple's fault to be affectionate. But didn't our fourth cousin beg us to let you become a good citizen and become a merchant? Are you regretting it now?"

When Fourth Master Du heard this, he was even more furious.

At first, what they were interested in was that the Dafang couple had no children and no descendants, so they thought of getting their only biological son registered as a businessman to please them.

After all, although one's business status is not as good as that of a good citizen, one cannot afford to have a wealth of millions to enjoy.

Unexpectedly, this businessman was admitted, but the adoptive heir of Dafang and his wife was not seen for a long time.

This made Fourth Master Du and his family very anxious, and they would come and cause trouble every few days.

Mr. Du Er is eager to protect his grandson, and he often comes to put on airs and show off his authority.

Completely forgotten about the past.

Counting up the Du family, several generations have been poor and cannot even afford the land rent.

If Mr. Du hadn't gotten lucky and made a fortune, and Mrs. Du had worked diligently to manage and expand the property, the entire Du family would have been digging tree roots in mountain nooks to feed themselves.

How could there be a chance to sit in Sui'an City and enjoy a peaceful and prosperous life!

It just so happens that this human heart has always been like this.

Once you get used to enjoying good things, you feel that they belong to you.

Mrs. Du looked around at everyone present. How could she not know what they were thinking.

Listening to everyone talking loudly, their expressions remained motionless.

Facing Mr. Du who had been silent next to him, he glared at him with a cold face.

Upon seeing this, Mr. Du immediately raised a smile and greeted him. He was so flattering that even the maid Cui An couldn't help but want to snicker.

As expected, he was born as a merchant, and his eyesight was much better than that of maids like them.

Those uncles saw how soft they were, so they decided to be tough.

It just so happened that Du Jingyi was coming home today, so the couple did not dare to make a big deal out of it.

As a result, Mr. Du Er became the leader.

He said fiercely at the top of his lungs.

"Boss, wife, don't think we don't know what you are paying attention to. Isn't it just that you can't give birth to a son yourself and yet you are trying to prevent Chang Fu from taking a concubine? Now are you afraid that Jingxian will enter the big house and become the big brother? Fang’s son, will you stop him again and again if you don’t want to deal with your two girls in the future?”

After saying that, he hammered the yellow pear wood crutch again.

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Du, who had only half a good face just now, was completely torn apart.

He said with a downcast expression.

"My master and I said at the beginning that when we married Jing Xiang, we would leave Jing Yi at home to find a son-in-law, so that we could leave a bloodline to inherit the family property. It was you two who fought hard to stop the matchmaker from coming. , and even gossiped about Jing Yi’s fate, so that no one dared to ask her to be a matchmaker anymore!”

"Now you dare to come to our house and openly throw dirty water on my head? Don't you think you deserve to live such a decent life in Sui'an City without the support of us and your wife?"

Mrs. Du was angry and naturally spoke unpleasantly.

Mr. Du Er is a firecracker that can explode at any moment. How can he still sit still at this moment?

She opened her mouth and planned to howl, thinking that she would have to disturb her daughter's return home today!

It's a pity that he just opened his mouth.

Master Du said with a smile.

"Jingxian will have to work outside in the future. Wouldn't it be appropriate if he could have the support of his younger cousin-in-law? If the second uncle insists on irritating the Duke's mansion with his own efforts today, then in the future, my eldest son will I must draw a clear line with you, but have you thought about it? If we continue to cause trouble, my nephew will send someone to invite the young master to come over."

Although he had a smile on his face, the words he spoke made everyone in Mr. Du Er's room fearful.

They came to make trouble just to get some benefits.

It's not to make it more difficult for Du Jingxian outside.

If the young master is really offended, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?

For a moment, he had no choice but to shut up.

He was so angry that his face turned red, his neck was thick and he groaned, but he didn't dare to say another word.

Seeing that Mr. Du Er was being controlled, Mrs. Du took advantage of the victory and pursued him.

After struggling for a long time, the truest thoughts of these people have been revealed.

Mrs. Du glanced sideways at those so-called relatives and was too lazy to deal with them anymore, so she snorted coldly.

"This property is the result of many years of hard work between me and the master. So what if all of it is given to our two daughters as dowries? Besides, how come my second uncle knows more about the things in our couple's room than anyone else? Could it be that he has been working all day long? He just likes to throw himself into other people’s courtyards, so he doesn’t have to be called a shameless person!”

Aren't they just thinking about their big family property?

The Daxing Dynasty only had two emperors, but because of Queen Yide's strong praise and thunderous tactics, the law was extremely protective of women.

One of the orders stipulates that a woman's dowry belongs to herself. Even if her husband dies in the same hall, it is still at her disposal.

Even biological parents and family members are not allowed to get involved.

Otherwise, if a petition is filed, the charge of being exiled to the northwest will not go away.

That's why there was this scene where the elders of the Du family came to the house to persuade the Dafang couple to adopt an heir as soon as possible.

After all, it was just to prevent the huge fortune from falling into the hands of others.

Mr. Du couldn't stand the faces of his relatives, so he pushed Mrs. Du to treat the guests harshly.

The couple, one red-faced and the other white-faced, actually controlled these people.

Then, Mrs. Du left in a huff, and Mr. Du chased after her.

Leaving behind an angry Mr. Du Er and an indignant Mr. Du Si and Du Jingxian, gritting their teeth but not daring to act rashly.

As for the others, they were just pulled in to save face.

Naturally, they would not force themselves to step forward.

So the spearhead turned to Mr. Du Qi, who had been silent all the time.

"Seventh, why don't you speak for Jingxian? This child is also your cousin, isn't he?"

Mr. Du Er got angry at his younger brother.

It was a typical face of scolding the sparrow when you can't hit the goose.

Mr. Du Qi said lightly after hearing this.

"You guys have been making a scene for so many times, but there is no result. Can I say that it will be done immediately?"

After saying this, he stood up and left on his own.

After he left, many relatives felt that there was no need to stay.

They also left in disgrace.

Only the second master Du, the fourth master Du and the grandparents Du Jingxian were left in the Maodixuan, smashing plates and bowls, but they dared not say a word.
