His majestic and powerful words reverberated in the spacious main hall.
Even Mu Wanrou could not help but be shocked.
Grandpa Mu was actually threatening Mu Yazhe with the inheritance of the Mu family's head?
While Mu Wanrou was shocked, she was also secretly pleased with herself. Grandpa Mu's love for her made her even more fearless.
The corners of Mu Yazhe's eyes narrowed when he heard this.
Yes, how could he forget?
When Grandpa Mu announced this marriage, he also announced that he would be the successor of the Mu family's head. How could he forget that the reason he was able to obtain the right of inheritance was not because of how outstanding he was. It was completely established on this engagement.
The only reason he agreed to this marriage was because Grandpa Mu had openly promised him that if he were to get married to Mu Wanrou, he would give him the inheritance of the Mu family's head.
Needless to say, this was very tempting to him.
The Mu Clan was a big clan, but its internal affairs were complicated. There were too many interests involved.
It would not be an exaggeration to describe the Mu family as a royal family in ancient times.
Putting aside the Mu family's side branches and his illegitimate children, the old man had three wives. These three wives were very capable and gave birth to five sons and three daughters for him.
At that time, among the five sons, the old man was most satisfied with Mu Lianjue, who was from the third wife.
Be it in terms of means, ability, or charisma, Mu Lianjue was the most outstanding among the five sons and the most promising candidate to inherit the Mu family's head.
Alas, the old man was very particular about the distinction between the legitimate son and the concubine.
No matter how outstanding Mu Lianjue was and how much he admired him, he was still a concubine's son. He felt that a concubine's son would not be able to enter the hall of elegance. Since ancient times, there was no reason for a concubine's son to inherit the family's head.
Mu Liancheng was the legitimate son. Although he was not as outstanding as Mu Lianjue in all aspects, he was still a candidate for the family's head due to his status as a legitimate son.
It was just that this Mu Liancheng was about to take over the Mu Clan's authority, but he passed away at such a young age. As a result, the position of the Mu Clan's Patriarch had always been empty.
As for the Mu Group's authority, it had always been in Mu Sheng's hands. However, he was getting on in years, and he had yet to choose a successor, which inevitably caused internal strife within the family.
In ancient times, there was a Nine Dragons Competition for the throne. At that time, Emperor Kangxi had twenty-four sons, and nine of them participated in the competition for the throne.
Looking at the rich and powerful families, in order to fight for the position of Patriarch and become the master of the family, there were many cases where brothers in the family turned against each other and killed each other.
That was because he was anxious to select a successor to be the Mu family's head so as to stabilize the family's internal affairs and prevent unnecessary turmoil.
Mu Sheng had been looking for the next family head.
And Mu Yazhe was the one he was most satisfied with.
Even though Mu Yazhe was only fourteen at that time, he had already won Mu Sheng's admiration.
He felt that among the many young people, Mu Yazhe's ability was incomparably eye-catching.
At that time, the young Mu Yazhe was also eager to obtain the right to be the Mu family's head so as to stabilize his position in the family.
Mu Liancheng passed away early, leaving behind an orphan and a widow. Mu Yazhe was only fourteen years old, but he was already well-versed in the rich and powerful families. If he did not have authority, he would only be bullied without being able to retaliate.
