But their father never considered passing the title to him.
The third brother seemed very sad and looked at his father. There was a precedent that the title of Qi family was passed on to the younger one, so why didn't his father ever consider him
I am also a legitimate child!
The eyes of the father and son met in space.
The father immediately understood the resentment in his third son's heart.
In the eyes of the Marquis of Qi, his third son was still young, only fourteen years old, but he was very knowledgeable and was a good candidate for study.
He hopes that he can take the imperial examination in the future.
The second son is inferior to the third son in all aspects. In terms of ability, he can only be considered average. It would be more appropriate to let him inherit the title and then guard the Qi family in an orderly manner.
He hoped that both of his sons could gain a place in the court.
By then, it would be wonderful for the two brothers to work together to preserve the glory of the Qi family for generations!
The Marquis of Qi decided to have a private talk with his third son another day.
When the second young master heard that he was going to be made the crown prince, of course he had no objection. His eldest brother's adopted child would have no influence on him.
The third young master lowered his head sullenly, without saying a word.
This was settled. The two young masters of the Qi family quickly left the scene, and Bai Chen also quickly stood up and said goodbye.
After returning to Chenxu Courtyard, Bai Chen gathered all the servants for a meeting.
In addition to eleven maids, Qin also arranged for two mothers, one with the surname Liu and the other Zhou.
Both mothers had served the eldest son before.
It was just dropped back.
Of course, there were several male servants who had served the eldest master, but now the eldest master is gone and there is only the eldest young mistress, so they were not transferred back.
There are a total of thirteen servants serving one master, Bai Chen, and the staff structure is quite bloated.
No wonder many children from poor families would be willing to be bought to be slaves before such nobles.
The work is easy, you get paid every month, you don’t have to go hungry, and you get extra bonuses.
It's a good job indeed.
Even if from now on their life and death are in the hands of others, there are still many poor people who enjoy doing this, just because the visible splendor is right before their eyes.
If you are lucky, you might even be able to become half a master.
After analysis, Bai Chen promoted Mother Liu to be the managing mother of Chenxu Courtyard.
If there are many servants, there must be an older leader to manage them.
Mother Liu was promoted and was very motivated. She took the initiative to take the job of counting the personnel and made detailed records of the specific circumstances of each servant.
After she finished recording, Bai Chen took it and looked at it carefully. He was quite satisfied with Mother Liu's ability to do things.
Name, age, origin, masters served in the past, and who his parents are are all recorded.
However, Chunjuan seemed a little uneasy when looking at the booklet in Bai Chen's hand. She always felt that the newly married eldest lady seemed very shrewd.
She is not a country girl who knows nothing.
It's not that easy to fool.
You have to be extremely focused.
By the time I finished all these things, it was already evening.
Bai Chen invited Mother Liu to the living room, and asked Huazhi to pour her a cup of tea, intending to have a good chat with her.
Mother Liu looked at the organized eldest young lady with great approval.
How great it would be if the eldest master were still alive!
Although his wife was just a country girl, she was pretty and smart. It was such a pity.
"Mom, please sit down." Bai Chen pointed to a chair opposite.
"Yes, then it would be disrespectful for this old servant to refuse." Only then did Mother Liu sit on the chair.
"Mom, please have some tea." There was a cup of freshly brewed tea on the table, emitting a faint tea fragrance.
"Hey! If the eldest young lady has any instructions, just tell me." Mother Liu picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Mom, you know I'm new here and don't know much about many things. I hope I can learn more from you." Bai Chen also picked up the cup of tea next to him and took a sip.
"As long as this old servant knows, I will know everything." Mother Qi said respectfully.
Bai Chen nodded and sighed softly, "Do you remember how my husband behaved when he was five years old and fell ill?"
When Mother Liu heard that you were asking about the eldest son, she seemed a little confused. The eldest son had already gone, so why was she asking about this
It just adds to your troubles.
Mother Liu thought for a while and decided to tell everything she knew, "This, this incident, I was not present at the time, but I heard from the eldest son's nurse that the eldest son suddenly convulsed and then fell to the ground unconscious.
At that time, the Marquis' Mansion invited all the chief physicians in the palace, but they could not find the exact cause.
But later, after the lady had taken care of him for more than ten days without taking off her clothes, the eldest son woke up again, but at that time he was so thin that his bones were just skin and bones.
He was in a coma for more than ten days and had to drink rice soup to stay alive. He was lucky to be alive.
Later, the eldest son was always ill. He caught a cold and didn't get better for several months.
Fortunately, the eldest son was lucky and his health improved later.
However, when we were planning to send him to school, his illness recurred and he started having convulsions again.
Later, his illness would flare up once a year, and as a result, the eldest son became even weaker, sometimes needing someone to support him even when walking.
The last time, he was in a coma for more than twenty days before waking up.
However, he was still in a daze after waking up, and the Marquis and his wife felt sorry for him, so they thought of a way to get him married.
Alas, poor young master! He finally died. "
When talking about sad things, Mother Qi's tears flowed and she sobbed.
"Then, where is your husband's wet nurse? Where is she now?" Bai Chen asked again.
Mother Liu looks really sad, and she feels truly sad for the eldest son. This kind of sadness doesn't seem to be acted.
Mother Qi wiped her tearful eyes, then took out a handkerchief to wipe her nose, "The eldest son's wet nurse has been gone for many years, she passed away the year the eldest son fell ill.
Later, the lady sent another woman named Chen to take care of him, but she also passed away after a few years.
As the eldest son grew up, no other mothers were sent to take care of him. Instead, he was taken care of by his personal maids, Hualan and Huatao.
Originally, they should have become the eldest son's concubines, but when the young master left, they had no choice but to go out and find someone else to marry."
"Oh, so that's it!" Bai Chen picked up the teacup again.
The eldest son's wet nurse might have died an abnormal death, and Qin's death might have been her fault.
If she wanted to take action against the eldest son, she must first get rid of the most loyal person around him.
After the wet nurse died, the lady sent another person, Madam Chen, and of course, Madam Chen was assigned a very important task by Qin.
In the following years, the eldest son fell ill once a year, probably because of the poison given by Mother Chen.
There was no intravenous nutrient solution in ancient times. With such medical conditions, a person could be in a coma for more than ten days and could only be fed with rice soup. Even the best body could not withstand such repeated torture.
But the eldest son only comes once a year. It is really not easy for him to live to the age of twenty.
Of course, the mentally perverted Qin controlled the dosage of the medicine because he didn't want him to die.
She just wanted to see her rival's son suffer from illness.
So, what was the reason for Mother Chen’s death later
Could it be that Mother Chen had a change of heart, couldn't bear it, and didn't want to do such an immoral thing again, so she was silenced by Qin
The later paintings of orchids and peaches may no longer be in the world.
How could the Qin family allow someone who knew about this to live in this world
They say they have found a good home for them, but is that really the case
