"Your mother has a good eye for things! She rarely makes mistakes and has followed your father for so many years. If she has a different view on this fight for the throne, then it is inevitable. I also know that she has a better eye for things! "
General Fenwei seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
"But I have no choice! Even if I know that the chances are slim!
The Second Prince and the Fourth Prince both have the intention of losing their titles. Not only are the military titles no longer hereditary, but even the title of Prince is no longer hereditary!
So, for someone like me, I have no choice! Even if I know that the chances are slim, I can only struggle and fight for that slim chance of survival!
This is the difference between your mother and I. She chooses to go with the flow, while I choose to resist!
Do you have anything else to say? "
Lou Xiaoyi shook his head gloomily. He had a lot of words to persuade him, but after his second uncle pointed it out, he found himself speechless. The words he had prepared were all nonsense in the face of the cruel reality!
After living for a few more decades, there was nothing that he could not see clearly. There was no right or wrong, it was just a difference in position.
"What will the outcome be? I know very well! That includes those hereditary descendants like me, and even the Prince! "
Pointing at the backyard, General Fenwei said sternly, "You've met your aunts. Do you think noble ladies like them can tolerate living in an ordinary courtyard and working hard every day for daily necessities? They even have to wash and mend their own clothes!
Can they?
This is a situation where they are bound together for good or ill!
They are already used to living a luxurious life. In order to continue living like this in the future, they must have the self-awareness to take risks!
There is nothing that can be obtained without sowing!
Even if they fail this time, their lives will be worth it!
So, don't judge us with your mother's ideals! They are not pitiful!
On the contrary, they think that the one who is pitiful is your mother! "
Lou Xiaoyi was completely speechless. He even suspected that this old man had been brainwashed by something strange.
"You can wait for the outcome of this matter in the night, but I can't guarantee that you won't get into trouble by doing so!
You can also leave! Leave now! Your mother must have told you that if things don't go well, don't worry about that idiot Second Uncle. Just ensure your own safety!
Am I right? "
Lou Xiaoyi had never felt so awkward before, but he couldn't refute a single word! But in his heart, he secretly complained to his mother. My dear mother, you look down on your own brother!
"When you go back, tell your mother that she doesn't have to worry about the Yao family's inheritance! My second branch won't be able to escape. Every single one of them is on the official registry!
But your third uncle's branch can be preserved! He wasn't married, but that didn't mean he wouldn't fool around outside! His vile spawns are in the north and south! There were also women who went to brothels to give birth to his children!
Even I don't know how many love affairs he has outside, so it's very safe! "
After General Fenwei finished speaking, he ignored his nephew and picked up a scroll from the desk to read. This was to send off the guest, which was similar to serving tea.
Lou Xiaoyi was embarrassed from the moment he came in, and the awkwardness lasted until the end. He realized that he was still too inexperienced. Under the verbal bombardment of these old bureaucrats, he couldn't even find a reason to persuade them!
The old man had already considered all aspects, including the Yao family's bloodline inheritance!
He could only awkwardly clasp his hands and walk out. At least, he was sure that his second uncle was worth his help!
What he hated the most were those who didn't care about the life and death of the rest of the family and dragged everyone to destruction in order to climb up the social ladder!
He knew to let his third uncle stay away from the inheritance, and he knew to let Lou Xiaoyi leave. There was still hope!
But from his attitude towards his family, he could see that his second uncle was unusually crazy! This world should not belong to a Confucian world dominated by scholars. It was too deviant. His first instinct was that.
His first instinct was that the current second uncle was not the same second uncle as before.
He had never had any contact with his second uncle, so he had no impression of his past! If it was as he said, that his mother's foresight had always been good, how could his mother have misjudged him as a brother who had lived together for more than ten years?
He chose to believe in his mother!
General Fenwei did not need to attend court every day. Even if the emperor did not fall ill, a hereditary military position like his could basically be used to work from home. Unlike his father's position as the Left General, he was truly in a high position and had a lot of say in the military.
This was especially so during this sensitive period. Other than occasionally going out at night to meet with others, he spent most of his time in his study, reading and writing. He did not gather with friends, nor was he good at summoning singers or concubines. He did not even go to the Inner Residence. Regardless of whether it was Madam Wang or his concubines, his self-discipline was frightening!
However, the servants of the Yao Family were used to their master's behavior. Everything was normal. What they were curious about was how the young master, who came to Zhaoye City for the first time, was able to stay in the mansion. He did not even step out of the mansion!
Although Zhaoye City's current situation was not suitable for a drunken life, it was not a problem to go out during the day and enjoy the various delicacies in the capital, the colorful shopping mall, and other places that could be opened normally. Compared to a small place like Pu City, it was like heaven and earth!
Was it necessary to be so honest? It was not like he was immersed in reading!
Lou Xiaoyi was indeed reading, but he was not reading any serious books. He was too lazy to read about the imperial examinations. He was only interested in the things about cultivation. In Zhaoye City, there were more such things than in Pu City. Not only were there more, but they were also more in-depth!
As a general's residence, books were the first choice for decoration, regardless of whether it was real or not. If one did not have a few books on the wall in the study room, it would be embarrassing to see guests!
For example, the study rooms of Second Uncle and several cousins would naturally be filled with the most serious books. But for relatives like Lou Xiaoyi, there was no need to hide the kind of books, so the study rooms were naturally filled with leisure books.
That was exactly what Lou Xiaoyi wanted! At least, he would not be doing nothing in Zhaoye City. He could at least gain something!
