Chapter 134: 过继的事

[The matter of inheritance]

“Now, what is the attitude of my two grand uncles?” Lu Yunluo really didn’t have a good impression about these two uncles.

Uncle Wang laughed coldly, with mockery in his eyes, “The second and third masters didn’t move in to take care of the old master at all, both of them are thinking about the title of the Duke of State’s House. Sometimes when the Duke of State is not able to have a little bit of spirit, both of their families will take pen and ink and let the Duke of State succeed their own first son, so that when the Duke of State is gone, they can let their own first son inherit the title.”

No wonder!

Lu Yunluo remembered just now when she entered the door, the boy was carrying the coffin inside, this preparation was made since along time a go.

“Now, has the candidate for succession been decided?” If it is set, then it will be troublesome.

Uncle Wang shook his head, “These two families are not convinced by anyone at the moment, so it’s still a deadlock.”

Lu Yunluo nodded her head. 

For now, it was still hard to say who actually poisoned Grandfather.

“Who is in charge of the mansion right now?”

Therefore, two big families were living in the State Duke’s Mansion, then there was no need to think that they were definitely using the State Duke’s Mansion’s silver. 

She just didn’t know how much of the mansion’s coffers are still left after being divided between these two families.

“It is the third master’s eldest daughter in law, Liu’s the person in charge, the key to the mansion’s treasury was taken away by them six days ago.” Uncle Wang said. 

Lu Yunluo frowned slightly, Surname Liu?

She was under the impression that this aunt of hers acted recklessly and carelessly, yet she was in charge of the State Duke’s Mansion, and even that second grand uncle’s side could also agree?

If these two families were really here to take care of her grandfather, then it would be okay. 

But at present, it seems that these two families clearly do not care about grandfather’s safety, and seem to be eager for grandfather to quickly pass away, so that their own first son will inherit the title of the State Duke House.

If she finds out that the person behind the poison is related to them, don’t blame her for not showing any mercy.

After explaining a few words to Uncle Wang, she left the stables and made her way to the front hall.

Some of the servants in the State Duke’s Mansion had seen Lu Yunluo, and it was still very surprising to see Lu Yunluo suddenly appear in the State Duke’s Mansion, but they still bowed in a disciplined manner, “Greeting to Your Highness.”

Lu Yunluo nodded, “Get up ba! You go and call both the second and third masters to the front hall. Ben Gong wants to see them.”

Afterwards, Lu Yunluo had someone go to the entrance and call Sister Zhou and six palace maids in. 

After giving some instructions, the four palace maids were told to go to Grandfather’s room to serve there. 

When the second and third great uncles came to the front hall, Lu Yunluo was sitting on top of the hall with her eyes red from crying.

The second and third great uncles glanced at each other.

They had heard that this grand niece of theirs had extremely deep feelings for his elder brother.

They didn’t expect that she had already entered the palace and was still able to come out at this time to see their big brother, it seemed that the rumor a few days ago was that his big brother’s granddaughter was indeed very favored by the Emperor.

“Greeting to Niang Niang.” The two men led the way, and the people behind them also followed and knelt down, “Your Highness, wan万歲 万万歲 sui wan sui, wan wan sui”

“Quick, quickly get up.” Lu Yunluo had a terrified look on her face and hurriedly told them to get up.

After the two of them took their seats, Lu Yunluo then began to say with a sad face, “Second uncle, Third uncle, my maternal grandfather, how many days does he have?”

“Reply to Your Highness. My big brother, I’m afraid he doesn’t have many days left.” The one who spoke was the second grand uncle, who had always been relatively shrewd, and at the moment had a slightly defensive face.

When Lu Yunluo heard this, she was immediately sad again.

“When Ben Gong went to see my maternal grandfather just now, my grandfather mentioned the matter of succession to me.”

“Big brother, he woke up just now?” Second Grand Uncle seemed a bit uncertain. 

In the past two days, his eldest brother was basically in a state of heavy sleep. How could it be so coincidental that he happened to wake up as soon as he arrived?
