The new Earl's Mansion was built.
Zhang Jiao knelt on the ground, glaring fiercely at Sheng Lan.
Sheng Lan knelt on the ground, holding Zhang Xiaohua, tears streaming down her face.
In fact, Wang Wenzhou had long planned to pass the title of Earl of Xinjian to Zhang Xiaohua. Moreover, the Earl of Xinjian's mansion, built in Hanshan, had always been under the control of Sheng Lan. Zhang Jiaobao lived in her Zhang Sanhua mansion.
Zhang Jiaobao had long since given up on the idea of Zhang Sanhua inheriting the newly established earldom, but today, as Wang Xianda played with his grandchildren, the more he looked at Zhang Sanhua, the happier he became. The old man felt that he could find a reflection of himself in Zhang Sanhua.
As people age, they often dote on their grandchildren, a phenomenon known as the "grandparental love." The old man held Zhang Sanhua tightly, kissing her so much he didn't want to let go.
During a casual conversation, Wang Xianda mentioned that he planned to pass on his title to Wang Wenzhou after his birthday banquet. There was nothing wrong with what the old man said.
But then he added that it would be better if the title of Earl of Xinjian were passed on to Zhang Sanhua.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jiao quickly said, "Father, it should be up to you to decide who gets the title of Earl of Xinjian. If you prefer to pass it on to Zhang Sanhua, then pass it on to him!"
Upon hearing this, Sheng Lan refused and said plaintively, "Father, Bo Xin said that the title of Earl of Xinjian should be passed on to Zhang Xiaohua!"
Sheng Lan has a gentle nature and usually doesn't compete with the other children at home. However, she has no choice but to fight for her son Zhang Xiaohua's title.
Zhang Jiao pouted and said irritably, "Father, Mother, look how ugly Zhang Xiaohua is. If we pass on the title of Earl of Xinjian to him, we people of the Earl of Xinjian will feel ashamed when we go out!"
Wang Xianda looked at Zhang Sanhua in his arms, then at Zhang Xiaohua in Sheng Lan's arms. He had to admit that Zhang Sanhua looked like Zhang Jiao. Although he was still young, it was obvious that he would grow up to be a handsome young man. As for Zhang Xiaohua, he looked like his mother. If you said he was ugly, he would get angry.
"Hmm..." Wang Xianda thought for a moment. No matter how ugly Zhang Xiaohua was, he was still Wang Wenzhou's legitimate son and the grandson of the Duke of Yingguo. If the title of Earl of Xinjian wasn't passed on to Zhang Xiaohua, the Duke of Yingguo's family would definitely not agree. It couldn't be blamed on Zhang Xiaohua's ugliness; after all, his mother, Zhang Shifang, was an ugly duckling.
Wang Xianda said, "Get up quickly. I was just saying it casually."
At this moment, Madam Yang, the mother, spoke up: "Master, in my opinion, the title of Earl of Xinjian should be passed on to Zhang Sanhua."
The reason Madam Yang supported passing the marriage to Zhang Sanhua was because she disliked Sheng Lan. She hadn't wanted Sheng Lan, this brothel-born whore, to marry into the family in the first place, but was forced into it by that unfilial son. Over time, Sheng Lan hadn't been able to produce an heir for the Wang family, and Madam Yang grew increasingly disgusted with her.
"Mother, you can't say that!" Sheng Lan quickly said.
Yang said coldly, "Why can't I say that? Do you have the right to interrupt me?"
Liu Rushi smiled slightly, holding Liu Xiaohua. She was truly happy today to witness such a good show. There was often a power struggle between Liu Rushi and her two children, Sheng Lan, and Liu Rushi's relationship with her mother-in-law, Yang Shi, was also quite poor. Now that Yang Shi and Sheng Lan were fighting, Liu Rushi was happy to see it.
Sheng Lan's tears streamed down her face, but she couldn't back down on this matter. If she did, Liu Xiaohua would lose her title.
Sheng Lan quickly said, "Mother, I think that neither you nor I have the final say on who should inherit Father's newly established earldom. We should listen to Father and Bo Xin."
Madam Yang said coldly, "I can still make decisions in this family! Master, the title must be passed on to Zhang Sanhua!"
"Cough cough cough..." When Wang Xianda saw that the tigress had gone berserk, he didn't dare to provoke her! He quickly pretended to be sick and kept coughing.
Madam Yang quickly stepped forward and gently patted Wang Xianda's back, saying softly, "Master, although Zhang Xiaohua is Boxin's legitimate son, now that Zhang Shifang has passed away, Zhang Xiaohua is being raised by that little bitch Sheng Lan. How can a woman from a brothel, who sells herself, raise a son well?"
Madam Yang earnestly advised, "For the sake of the future of our newly established Earl's Mansion, the title must not be passed on to Zhang Xiaohua!"
"Cough cough cough..." Wang Xianda coughed a few times and said with a wry smile, "Rong'er, quickly inform Boxin and tell him to go home!"
“Yes!” Zhang Rong nodded. Of course she supported Zhang Xiaohua, who was her young mistress Zhang Shifang’s own son.
Wang Wenzhou was happily drinking with his two newborn babies when he heard what Zhang Rong told the servant. Wang Wenzhou shook his head with a wry smile and said helplessly, "Big brother, you guys eat first. I have to go home. If I don't go back soon, my father probably won't be able to celebrate his birthday!"
Zhang Shize nodded, and said with a wry smile, "Every family has its own troubles! Go on!"
Wang Wenzhou rushed back home in a flurry. When he arrived, he found Sheng Lanbao hugging Zhang Xiaohua, kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down her face.
Liu Rushi and the other babies sat on the sidelines, watching the tigers fight.
Zhang Jiaobao was all smiles, very happy. She had never thought that her son, Zhang Sanhua, could inherit the title of Earl of Xinjian, but now it seemed that it wasn't impossible.
Wang Wenzhou quickly helped Sheng Lan up, gently wiped away her tears, and whispered, "Lazy Lan, don't cry, I'm here for you!"
"Hmph!" Madam Yang snorted coldly, saying irritably, "Boxin, you're getting more and more outrageous as you get older! You've forgotten your mother after getting married. When you see your mother, you don't greet her first, but instead go to greet your wife. I ask you, who is your mother, her or me?"
Wang Wenzhou shook his head with a wry smile. "Grandma, at your age, you should have long passed menopause, right? Why are you doing this?"
"Your son greets Mother!" Wang Wenzhou immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Madam Yang.
Madam Yang said coldly, "Get up! Who told your father and me to raise only one son like you! If you are unfilial, your father and I have no other choice!"
Wang Wenzhou was furious. Being a man is truly exhausting. When he comes home, he not only has to watch the babies' moods, but also his mother's.
Old man Wang Xianda winked at his son, "My dear son, don't take your mother's words to heart. Don't you know what kind of person she is?"
Wang Wenzhou stood up and said with a wry smile, "Mother! It was agreed long ago that Zhang Xiaohua would inherit the title! If he can't inherit the title, the Duke of Ying's mansion won't agree! Zhang Shize just mentioned this to me."
"Boxin! You've gotten smarter! You're actually using the Duke of Ying's mansion to pressure me? Our Xinjian Earl's mansion has never been afraid of anyone! Why should we have to consider the Duke of Ying's mansion's feelings when it comes to our own family matters?" Madam Yang was furious. Her precious son wasn't on her side and was even speaking up for that little bitch. At this moment, her heart was bleeding.
Mother carried you for ten months, how could you give birth to such an ungrateful wretch? Childbirth is a life-or-death ordeal for every woman. I raised you with such hardship, and this is how you repay me?
