Chapter 17
But what he never expected was that there were rumors on Emperor Star recently that Ling Xiao, the heir, would not be here for long because his two grandsons would eventually become dukes.As a last resort, he had no choice but to bring these troublemakers to Williams' territory to avoid the limelight.But now it seems that he made the wrong decision.The wife and son are at odds with their grandson, and the daughter is not happy either.The son-in-law didn't want to see them even more, and even his old friends were dissatisfied with him.What his husband, father, grandfather and grandfather did was really meaningless, anyone could ride on his head and domineering.
"What, Huanxiao is thinking about the duke position of my family. You are not worthy of carrying Xiao'er's shoes, so you should take them away!" The old duke couldn't help cursing, the two of the Clarence family are not good His grandson is a well-known playboy in Emperor Star.When I served in the military, I was thrown out by the army. They said that they would rather recruit fewer people than pests like them to poison the soldiers in the army.
"I think so too, but things are getting serious now. Emperor Star can't go back, and I don't want to go to other star regions. After all, other dukes are just waiting to see a joke. Although I also have a territory, I have been messed with by them long ago. I can’t go back to the point where everyone knows about it.” Now the Clarence family is notorious, and his old face has long been lost to his unworthy wife and son.
"Why did even the Emperor Star get into trouble?" The old duke asked the servant to bring some chairs, so that the old friend and his son could sit and chat, and at the same time, he could watch his grandson cook.
"Yeah, Grandpa, the last time you called me you said everything was fine in Emperor Star, why can't you go back?" While washing the vegetables, Ling Xiao didn't forget to ask the Marquis what happened. It's not a small matter.
"It's also my fault for my carelessness that caused the trouble to this point." The Marquis sighed, took a sip of the tea brought by the maid, and then continued.
"After we went to Emperor Star, we heard that Ling Xiao became the heir of the Williams family. Then we heard that he was made a viscount, becoming the first person in the empire to be made a viscount. This time Kelly She doesn't agree, she thinks that Xiao'er has robbed her grandson of his future. If her grandson becomes the heir of the Williams family, all of this should belong to them."
The Marquis paused when he said this, and then took another sip of tea, although his face seemed calm.But it can be seen from his hand holding the cup tightly that his heart is not peaceful.
"Because of dissatisfaction, Kaili took her son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren to tell everyone that Ling Xiao is not the heir of the Williams family, saying that he is just a savage from a low-level civilized planet who has not evolved. The nobles originally treated Ling Xiao The matter of becoming the heir to the duke maintained a wait-and-see attitude. They all thought that Ling Xiao's heir position would not last long. At first, it was only passed on among the noble circles, but no one expected that this matter would eventually reach His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty was furious, because Kelly was defaming the reputation of a nobleman. Even if Xiaoer came from a low-civilized planet, but he is now the viscount of the empire and the heir to the Duke, then Kelly is guilty of defaming a nobleman. The great crime of reputation. Your majesty recruited me into the palace and scolded me severely. At the same time, your majesty the queen issued an edict revoking the title of Marquis Kelly. Apart from being my wife, now Kelly has no Any title of nobility is better than that of a commoner. For this reason, Kaili completely hates Shang Xiaoer. She thinks it is his fault that she lost her title."
"What? Her title has been revoked?" Let alone Ling Xiao, even the old Duke and Errol were shocked.The revocation of this title is not a trivial matter, even if it is restored in the future, this stain will not be erased.
How could it be like this?Ling Xiao stopped cutting vegetables, and then continued to chop.He knew very well that he had no right to intervene in this matter.Although it was a little unexpected that my grandmother's title was revoked, there must be a cause and an effect, and all of this was caused by herself.Ling Xiao never thought that he was a good person, and he could repay his kindness with kindness after he was treated so badly.
"Well, and Her Majesty the Queen also said that Kelly will never be allowed to enter the Emperor Star." This incident caused the Clarence family to lose their heads in the aristocratic circle.Although they still have territory, they dare not go back at all.That's why they came to the Williams family for help. I hope Kelly and the others will become smarter after learning this lesson and stop causing trouble.
"She is not allowed to enter the Emperor Star again. It seems that the queen is really angry this time. You must know that she is actually a very good-tempered person. It is a skill for your wife to piss her off." Errol said to The queen still knew it well, after all, he and the emperor were good friends, and this queen was acquainted when they were in the military academy.
"I know that too, but what can I do? I agreed to the marriage back then, who would have thought that she was just a woman with a face and no brains." Clarence regretted it a long time ago, but what can be done.He has no right to regret the choice he made.Want to divorce, but unfortunately the empire does not have this law.
In the empire, because people live a long life.Therefore, everyone generally chooses the person they like to marry, and only those families who have not found a lover will choose to marry.
And he belongs to the category that has not found a lover, so he chose Kaili's family marriage.After reading the materials sent, I chose the most beautiful one, which is Kaili.If he had chosen another woman at the beginning, it would be better to say anything than to choose her.
"So to marry a wife, you should marry a virtuous person." Ling Xiao said to the three elders after cooking a dish, this saying has been passed down for a long time on Earth.But men still like to choose beautiful women. Although they are not virtuous enough, they are beautiful enough.
"That's right, it's a good thing Eliza is not like her mother, otherwise Errol would be miserable." The Marquis joked about his son-in-law, and his greatest comfort was that his daughter was like him.
"If it's like a lady, I won't like Eliza." Errol has always addressed Kelly as his wife, and such a mother-in-law can't call her mother.
"Old thing, what are your plans now? The Empire does not have a divorce law, so you can only choose to separate from her." The old duke felt sorry for his old friend, and it would be considered unlucky for him to marry such a wife.Not only will it have no effect on the family, but it will also implicate the family.
"I have this plan, and I will send them back to the territory after a while. And I will disturb you, old man." The Marquis obviously planned it long ago, and his son and grandson were all lost.If he didn't want his family to decline, he had no choice but to choose another heir.Fortunately, he didn't designate his son as the heir at the beginning, otherwise it would be really troublesome to change it.
"Old man, don't you have that idea in mind?" The old duke and Errol stood up, looking at the marquis with serious faces.
Ling Xiao watched his grandfather and father stand up suddenly, wondering what grandpa did?It doesn't matter if you just stay and live, why the two of them look so serious.
"Hehe, that's right. It's just what you think, and I will take care of Xiao'er in the future." The Marquis smiled happily, but the old Duke and Errol were not happy at all.
"Okay, it's time to eat. Let's talk about what's going on after dinner. The world is not as big as eating." Ling Xiao asked Lily and the others to serve the food, but went back to the room to change clothes.Although the empire has done a good job in the kitchen facilities, Huaxia cuisine itself has a lot of oily smoke, and his clothes are full of the smell of food.He thought it was nothing, but it was very rude to the guests.
"Hahaha, I want to taste my grandson's cooking today. The old guy used to bully me with food, but now I can finally eat it." The Marquis happily walked out of the kitchen with his hands behind his back, and was able to eat the food made by his grandson. Happier than anything else.
"He's not kidding, is he? The Clarence family has other offshoots. Is it necessary?" Errol asked his father. of the rebound.
"I hope he just talked about it. If that's the case, we can't stop it." The old duke smiled wryly, the old friend made a big joke this time.
"Oh, it's such a mess. I hope Xiao'er won't lose her temper. I haven't passed my cooking skills yet!" Errol said with a bitter face. He had been studying for several days, but the dishes he cooked were not poisonous at all. Entrance.
"There's nothing you can do about it. The laws of the empire are there, and we don't even have the right to speak." The old duke saw it through. As long as his grandson is capable, there is nothing to worry about.
"It's easy to say, have you forgotten what the child's ideal is? Marshal of the Empire..." Errol was really worried that Ling Xiao was carrying too many responsibilities, he didn't look like a child anymore, so don't worry about it It's better to be more mature.
"At best, we'll work harder! It would be great if the family had a Marshal." The old duke seemed to have seen his grandson sitting on the Marshal's throne.
"I also thought, this way I don't have to be teased by the emperor all the time. The Bryant family just produced a crown prince, or just sat on the position of marshal! What's the big deal." His family Ling Xiao They won't lose to the Crown Prince either, sooner or later they will look good.
"That's right, the former emperor even specially sent me a newsletter, bragging about how powerful and promising his grandson is every time. What the hell..." The father and son despised the current emperor and the former emperor as they walked. The emperor, wouldn't there be a crown prince? Look at their frightened looks, if the emperor didn't find them, they would beat them up.
"Grandpa, Dad, what are you waiting for? Are you waiting for the wine or the food?" Ling Xiao stood in the restaurant, and everyone was waiting for the two of them to be seated!As dukes, they have the highest status.They are not seated, who dares to move.
