170: Chapter 169: Courting Won by Imperial Command
As the elder’s anger flared, Song Yun could only offer words of solace, “You’re still vigorous in your old age, holding onto the Song Family for decades should be no problem.”
“No, once Ergou returns, I plan to find an opportunity to pass the position on to Ergou,” the elder stood and said, “If calculated, you are the third in line successor of the Song Family.
In the future, those targeting you will only increase, you must be very cautious.”
“Is my father really returning to the Song Family?” Song Yun asked in surprise; after all, in his heart, none in the Song Family were good people.
“It’s not just Ergou returning; you must return too.
What our main Song Family line is enduring outside,” the elder spoke with so irritation.
“If it wasn’t for those people from the collateral branch forcing our hand back then, why would my brother and I be living apart?
Hmph, those collateral branch people na??vely think I would pass the position to them?
Even if everyone from my main line were dead, the position of Song Family Patriarch would have nothing to do with them.”
“Please calm down, watch out for your health,” Song Yun consoled.
“Speaking of which, I still don’t understand the current relationship between the main family and the collateral branches.
Perhaps you can tell
about it today?”
“Speaking of this collateral branch, it infuriates .
If it hadn’t been for their ddling back then, why would our main line have so few people?” Mr.
Song coughed twice and said, “But I must tell you about it today since you, too, will have to return to the Song Family one day.
It’s good to know in advance.”
“Our Song Family is divided into one main and four collateral lines.
Among these, one branch is not blood-related to our Song Family.
Back during the period of the Republic, a person nad Song Wei did a significant deed for the Song Family.
The old patriarch then granted him a family branch, leading to their lineage.”
“They belong to our camp.
They are mainly responsible for the Song Family’s food, housing, and transportation.
However, they don’t hold much power.
The other two branches are different; one consists of neutral people who dispersed to the HB region during the founding period.
Apart from coming ho for ancestral rites, they mostly develop their strengths locally.
The most restless branch is the one closest to us by blood.
They are closely related, so they are most capable of stirring up trouble from their branch mbers to be chosen as the Song Family Patriarch.”
“During the turmoil of those years, your father fled, opposed by those from the Song Family branches, making your mother and father suffer whose whereabouts are still unknown.
They are the source of our internal strife within the Song Family.
If it weren’t for the family rule set by our ancestors against infighting, I would have settled with them long ago,” Mr.
Song said nacingly.
“If you guys are returning to the capital, they’ll likely try to obstruct you.
You must resist.”
“Um, if my father agrees to return to the Song Family, I don’t have much to say.
But I only have one thing to declare—if what’s ours isn’t released by them, don’t bla
for chopping at the hand they extend.
My hard tis outside were also because of them, so my actions may be a bit drastic.
Please don’t take offense,” Song Yun said, squinting his eyes.
“Our Mr.
Song has always been clear about his grudges.
I’ll hold onto what you’ve given
without issue, but if you take what I haven’t given, that’s dishonest, and I’ll have to punish you.” Hence, Song Yun held no good feelings towards the people from that branch.
Mr.
Song placed his hand in his own palm and patted it, “As long as you don’t leave any traces, I will support you from the background.
Let my grandson, who has spent so many years in exile, collect so interest from them.”
Song Yun truly idolized his Second Grandpa.
With the elder’s words, Song Yun felt even more confident to handle them boldly in the future.
“Grandpa, it’s great to have you,” Song Yun said, moved.
“Now you rember to call
Grandpa.
You really take after your father, not showing your claws until you see the rabbit.
Well then, let this old bone bolster you father and son with a bit of bluff,” Mr.
Song said, smiling and squinting, “Yun’er, I hear you’ve got quite a few won back ho.”
Hearing this truly gave Song Yun a headache.
Before coming here, Housekeeper Song had been nagging him to gather all his concubines.
Are today’s won fools?
Can they really share their husband with others so casually?
Especially soone as outstanding as himself.
“There’re reasons for that.
I first returned to Sunan and lived next door to a young sister from the He Xi Changquan.
We beca friends after so interactions.
Then, the master I followed in the sect sent
to Su Nan’s Li Family, which is why Li Shishi joined my household.
Later, I participated in the Dragon List competition and Qingluan stuck by , so that’s why there are so many won in my courtyard now,” Song Yun explained.
“Don’t explain.
If you want to keep them all, Grandpa is very supportive.
The Song Family is large, and it doesn’t matter how many mouths there are on your side.
The main task now is to take control over them.
As for the consequences, Grandpa will cover for you,” Mr.
Song declared assertively.
“There are only three n left in the Song Family main line: , you, and your father.
We are few in number.
The future depends on you, Yun’er.”
Seeing the elder so earnestly entrusting him with this significant and glorious responsibility, Song Yun was deeply moved.
Now, was flirting with won part of his imperial duties?
With such a formidable grandpa covering any consequences, Song Yun believed he could definitely complete the task.
“You can have as many won in your courtyard, and Grandpa won’t ddle.
But you have to promise
one thing,” Mr.
Song said with a sly look in his eyes.
“Please just instruct ,” Song Yun responded dashing.
“Rember, no matter how many won you have in the courtyard, I get to decide who takes the position of the First Wife.
The person I choose will be soone you know, but I won’t tell you now.
You’ll naturally find out when the ti is right.
You must rember this.”
“We’ll see about that,” Song Yun said noncommittally, now ntally eliminating the won he knew well.
“That’s good.
What do you plan to do about those won outside then?” Mr.
Song threw out another gossipy question.
“Well, that…”
“Ah, you also have a lovestruck nature.
Others may be infatuated with one, but you’re infatuated with a host of won,” Mr.
Song sighed.
“I don’t care about their family backgrounds, only whether they truly care for you.
You know, you are the future hope of our Song Family.”
“I’m absolutely fine at judging people.
They definitely don’t intend to harm ,” Song Yun said.
“I believe they all have genuine feelings for .”
“That’s good.
Now let’s discuss sothing urgent,” Mr.
Song said, his face turning serious as he looked at Song Yun.
“About that RB woman coming to look for you, have you heard?”
“My master had already inford .”
“Yes, your master was once a prominent figure capable of shaking Kyushu.
If it weren’t for his infatuation with a woman, he wouldn’t have ended like this,” Mr.
Song said, sighing deeply.
“Do you have any plans?”
“I’m planning to take all the won in the courtyard out for a trip, to evade that woman for a while,” Song Yun said.
“That woman is too powerful, and she’s involved in too much.
I don’t want to get involved casually.”
“That’s also good.
When you’re out having fun, I’ll have Housekeeper Song handle her,” Mr.
Song said with a laugh.
“I didn’t expect you, Yun’er, to have such strong romantic luck.
It seems like I, Song Wenwu, will indeed be blessed with many grandchildren.”
“Of course, when there are many great-grandchildren in the future, don’t you complain,” Song Yun said with a simple laugh.
