Chapter 644: The Old Ancestor

"Who?" I asked quickly.

Butler Mu was silent.

It cannot be said, it should not be said, it cannot be said.

But at some point, silence itself is the best testimony.

"I have another question." I nodded slightly, "What happened to the eldest young grandma's child?"

"Dispose it." Butler Mu said.

"Yeah." I squinted.

"Don't get me wrong." said Mu, "We are not so cruel just asking someone to send him to foster care in other places."

"But the eldest grandma doesn't know, right?" I said.

"That's right, what I said to the eldest young lady is that the child died." Mr. Mu said.

"That's why she's crazy?" I said.

"This...we were unexpected." Mr. Mu said.

"Wouldn't you be cruel to drive a crazy woman out of the house?" I said again.

"Actually, it's not about driving her out of the house. She just let her move to the suburbs of the town, and she lives in the Mu family's house." Mr. Mu said, "This is what the master means... the new master."

"Okay, I understand." I patted Butler Mu on the shoulder, "Uncle Zhen, say goodbye."

After saying that, he winked at Jiang You and turned around to leave.

"Wait." Butler Mu said anxiously, "What do you want to do?"

"You can rest assured," I said, "I just want to figure out what's going on, and I don't have to do something."

"Find it?" said Mr. Mu, "Young man, have you never heard an old saying--It's rare to be confused?"

"There is only one kind of good confusion, that is, pretending to be confused with understanding." I said, "I haven't understood the matter yet, how can I start to be confused?"

"I hope you know what to be confused and what not to be confused." Butler Mu sighed, leaving his whole body in the shadow.

I left the dark room.

In addition to Jiang You, there was also You Da who left together.

You Da wanted to leave, but I stopped him.

"You Da." Since Butler Mu didn't speak, I naturally had to find someone who was willing to speak.

"The little one is here." You Dao.

"I'll ask you, your master, Mu Yuansheng, how old is this year?" I said.

"This... twenty-seven." You Dadao.

"It's not too young, is it a marriage?" I asked.

"No." You Dao.

"Why?" I asked.

If you are a man in the world, it is normal not to marry at the age of 30 or 40, but for ordinary people, this age is a bit older.

"Hehehe." You Da smiled evilly.

I threw him a silver ingot.

"In fact, it just can't give birth to a child." You Da lowered his voice, "The second young master liked to visit the kiln when he was young. He accidentally fell into the root of the disease and could not be cured after all the treatments. So he simply refused to marry, saying that he would not have to take care of himself for nothing."

"Can't you give birth?" I thought to myself, "Will the division of property be bad for him?"

"It's not just unfavorable." You Dadao, "According to the rules of the Mu family, children and grandchildren who have no children will be given at most some silver in the family, and there is no industry."

"No industry, no matter how much money you have, you will be able to spend money." I continued, "What's more, someone is a lazy and squandering prodigal son..."

"If neither brothers have any descendants, it would be even." Jiang You continued to follow my thoughts, "But the wife of the dead brother is actually pregnant, and the father also admitted this child!"

"If things go naturally and the child inherits the Mu family's property, someone's second half of his life will be very miserable." I said, "so he must 'handle' his child to ensure his glory and wealth."

"With his status in the Mu Mansion, there must be no shortage of money, and it is very simple to do things in secret." Jiang You said, "There are motives and conditions - more importantly, there are only three people in the Mu Mansion who have the ability to accomplish this without knowing the truth, and two of them are dead - how do you say that? Excluding all the impossible, the rest is the answer!"

Is that true?

Is this really the answer?

"Mu Yuansheng!" Jiang You gritted his teeth, "It's too obvious, there will be no one except him!"

"If it was him, what would you do?" I asked.

"I...I want to beat him up." Jiang You hesitated for a long time before trembling.

Yes, what else can I do besides beating him?

As the head of the Mu family, he is the last one in the Mu family. Even if Mu Yuansheng committed a heinous crime, the Mu family must protect him and protect him.

As an outsider, do you have to forcefully interfere with other people's family affairs and cause other people to die?

unless……

"I think we can find another person." Jiang You suddenly said.

"Is there anyone else who can cure Mu Yuansheng?" I guessed.

"I guessed it right." Jiang You said, "The head of Mu Yuansheng is only nominal. He is not the one with the highest status in the Mu family, and not even Mr. Mu."

"The status is higher than Mr. Mu?" I said in surprise.

"That's it." Jiang You said, "She is Mr. Mu's mother-Mu He's ancestor!"

"Old ancestor Muhe?" I turned my eyes and said, "Old ancestor is also surnamed He. Does it have anything to do with the Muhe family?"

"Of course it's related." Jiang You said, "The Mu family and the He family are both Bingzhou families, and the marriage between the two families has been around for hundreds of years. The Chenzhou Mu family is a branch of the Bingzhou Mu family and has also inherited this marriage tradition."

"Then how old is this ancestor?" I said curiously.

"I'll do it..." Jiang You pinched his fingers, "It should be 87 years old. I was still in the Mu family when she was her 80th birthday."

"This is really a blessing." I said.

Although there are no shortage of old monsters over a hundred years old in the world, they are all top masters who have reached the pinnacle. Ordinary people can live past sixty and live a long life, otherwise it would be rare to say that life is seventy years old.

"But, what's the use of finding an ancestor?" I said again.

"It can be of great use or small." Jiang You said, "Mu Yuansheng can't have a baby. Do you know how to deal with this?"

"Take medicine to see a doctor, burn incense and worship Buddha." I said, "What else can I do?"

"What you said depends on miracles." Jiang You said, "It is impossible to take a chance on the inheritance of a family, so there is only one way to deal with it - adoption!"

"I understand, I'm 'borrowing' a son from the master's house." I said.

"If you borrow it, the key is who the child will be after borrowing it." Jiang You said.

"Mu Yuansheng is the head of the family, so the borrowed child is naturally his." I said.

"What if Mu Yuansheng did something that was despised by the family?" Jiang You said.

"So..." I nodded, "If my ancestors knew about the bad things Mu Yuansheng did, they might have the borrowed children recognizing Mu Yuanfang as their father, which is equivalent to depriving Mu Yuansheng of his inheritance in disguise!"

I've been quite intrigued lately...
