Chapter 901: Inheriting the title

Chapter 901: Inheriting the title
The news that King Kang was pretending to be An Xiucai reached Mrs. Ru's ears.

Mrs. Ru went completely crazy.

When she learned from Lin Ran that Shen Ning was Fan Shijie's son, her resentment towards King Kang turned into hatred. The pain of being deceived made her unreservedly present all the evidence of King Kang's rebellion to Bai Panmei.

Unexpectedly, her beloved had already died in Shu.

She didn't even know whether to hate fate or An Xiucai.

News of Madam Ru's madness reached the Bai family, and Zhen Chen's wife Xiao Li was sending someone to report the funeral to the Bai family.

The dead person is the old lady.

The Empress Dowager ordered the Zhen family to vacate the house, but the old lady was unwilling to return to her place of origin. Mrs. Li had to rent a yard to accommodate the old lady. She originally thought that after settling in, she would take Zhen Zhixia back to her place of origin.

But things took a twist again, and Zhen Chen participated in the rebellion and was killed.

When Zhen Chen was executed, he originally kept the news secret from the old lady, but a servant let it slip, and the old lady became ill and fainted on the spot.

He never fully woke up again. He hung on for a breath and refused to die, and finally died on the first seven days of Zhen Chen's life.

A series of changes occurred in the family, and Xiao Li's heart became numb.

She didn't want to hold a funeral ceremony for her aunt and mother-in-law at all. She hated the old lady.

The reason why the Zhen family's big house fell into such a miserable end was the old lady.

She had long known that Fan Shijie, Zhen Chen and Prince Kang were colluding to rebel. Instead of stopping him, she took Shen Ning home.

Xiao Li felt that the old lady's death was an advantage to her.

Naturally, the Bai family did not go to express their condolences. Mrs. Zhen wished that the old lady would disappear as soon as possible. Keeping her for a day would be a waste of food.

On the day of the old lady's funeral, Mrs. Zhen lit incense at her parents' memorial tablet.

Those who harmed their own families all received their retribution.

As for Chen Jing'er, the Queen Mother finally felt pity for her and did not kill her, letting her return home to live with Aunt Chen.

However, Chen Jing'er and Aunt Chen will never be free in this life. The Queen Mother sent people to monitor them and they cannot go out even half a step.

After the rebellion of King Kang came to an end, the Queen Mother summoned Zhen into the palace.

Mrs. Zhen took Xiao Fuyuan to Yuqing Palace.

"I asked you to come here because I want to discuss something with you. The Yi family and the emperor want to restore the title of the Zhen family..."

Xiao Fuyuan looked at the Queen Mother.

There are no more boys in the Zhen family.

The only male, Zhen Ruocheng, has become a monk.

Mrs. Zhen was also surprised. There was no one in the Zhen family, even if they adopted someone, there would be no one.

"What is the Queen Mother's plan?" Zhen asked doubtfully.

"It's a pity that there is no one to inherit the throne of my grandfather. The Ai family thinks that the Bai family has many sons and has the blood of the Zhen family, so they want to choose one of your sons to inherit." The Queen Mother said.

Naturally, Mrs. Zhen hopes that someone can inherit her grandfather's title.

The Queen Mother's suggestion was not impossible, but if her son inherited the title of Zhen Guo Gong, he would definitely change his surname to Zhen.

It didn't matter to her. Regardless of whether her surname was Bai or Zhen, it was still her bloodline.

The biggest obstacle to this matter is my mother-in-law.

When the third child was wanted by shopkeeper Xu to recruit a son-in-law, Mrs. Bai refused to do it. You can imagine how difficult this matter was.

"Queen Mother, I have to discuss this matter with my mother-in-law," said Zhen.

"There's no rush, you can discuss it carefully," the Queen Mother said.

Zhen and Xiao Fuyuan stayed in the Queen Mother's Palace until evening before returning home.

After dinner, Zhen told everyone that the Queen Mother wanted to choose one of the Bai family sons to inherit the Zhenguo Palace.

Instantly, the whole family was in an uproar.

Everyone looked at Mrs. Bai.

Old Mrs. Bai was unusually lifeless. "What do you think I'm doing? This is a good thing." Old Mrs. Bai said, "It's not that I'm a snobbery and want to be the Duke of Zhen. I think the title of the Zhen family should be passed down. The original title of the Zhen family was your grandfather's. Since there is no one left in the Zhen family, you have the blood of the Zhen family in your body, so you should help your grandfather pass it on."

"Mom, if they inherit the family name, they will no longer be descendants of the Bai family and will have to change their surname to Zhen." Bai Banban carefully reminded his mother.

It didn't matter to him.

Anyway, I have many sons, so it is nothing to continue the bloodline of the Zhen family.

"You don't need to remind me, I know." Old Mrs. Bai glared at the white wooden board.

Everyone was surprised by the change in Mrs. Bai's thoughts.

Mrs. Bai sneered and said: "You must be thinking why I objected to the Xu family's recruitment of the third child? That's because the Xu family has nothing to do with our family. Naturally, I don't want my grandson to help others continue the bloodline. But the Zhen family is different. The Zhen family is Your mother’s natal family, you have the obligation to continue the bloodline of your maternal ancestors’ family.”

Fortunately, the third child of the Bai family went to Nanyang after spring, otherwise the third child would be embarrassed. The third child doesn't like people to mention such old things.

Mrs. Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and was deeply moved by her mother-in-law's profound righteousness.

"Then who should we let go?" Xiao Fuyuan asked.

This question stumped everyone, and their white-skinned eyes wandered over the sons except for the third child.

"Let me say it first, I cannot inherit. I am the eldest, and I have the obligation to serve my grandmother and parents." Bai Dazhuang said.

Xie Chuntao nodded in agreement.

As the boss, no matter who inherits it, the boss cannot.

"I...I can't. I don't have any abilities. Taking over as the Duke of Zhenguo would be an embarrassment to my grandfather." Bai Erzhuang declined.

After Bai Erzhuang refused, Eugene Gui looked quite unhappy.

She thinks her man is stupid.

From the moment the proposal came out, she felt that her man was the most suitable one.

The eldest son has to serve his parents and grandmother, the third son is a wealthy businessman, the fourth son is the consort, and the fifth son is a deputy general who may not be able to earn a title in the future.

Only the second child has nothing.

He actually followed Boss Feng and refused.

"Three Zhuangs are definitely not good either." Tian Maimiao spoke for Bai Sanzhuang, "After inheriting the title, you can't engage in business. The third brother doesn't like it."

It was the fourth child's turn, and the fourth child didn't need to speak at all.

He is both a prince-in-law and a new star in the official career. If he succeeds as the Duke of Zhenguo, he will arouse the suspicion of others.

"Don't look at me, I don't want that title. I will earn my own titles in the future." Lao Wu said loudly.

How can we deal with all five sons rejecting it?

Bai Banban really wants them to draw lots, but this cannot be determined by drawing lots.

Bai Banban looked at his daughter and simply let his daughter inherit it.

"My daughter can't do it," said Zhen.

The brothers looked at Mrs. Zhen. They thought their sister was pretty good.

My sister is already a princess, so it would be quite appropriate to wear a hat of duke on her head.

Who says girls can't inherit titles?
That's someone else's house!
Given the Queen Mother and the Emperor's preference for their younger sister, if the Bai family persisted, they might still be able to succeed.

Bai Panmei was almost ready to write a note to the emperor to state her reasons.

"It's not that your sister can't inherit it, but your sister... her biological parents are against it," said Zhen.

This is understandable.

For a while, there was a deadlock.

Bai Banban looked at his sons worriedly.

It’s not good to be too sensible!

If someone else's family were to inherit my grandfather's title, the brothers would probably have their heads broken. Why did they reject it one by one when they arrived at their family?

Who should be allowed to go?
