The son-in-law of the first wealthy family

In fact, even if there is no matter about the Xiao family, the strength of the Xiahou family is higher than that of the Shangguan family. After all, the Xiahou family now has four ancestors in charge, while his Shangguan family only has three.

At their stage, in addition to their background and descendants, what they have to fight is the number of ancestors. At this point, the Shangguan family has already fallen behind.

"Father, I see."

Seeing that Shangguan Xin agreed to come down, Shangguan Mingchen didn't say much, but asked some guards to be brought down, and they immediately panicked, but they couldn't say anything anymore.

Obviously, these people couldn't survive and became Shangguan Xin's scapegoats.

After Shangguan Xin left, Shangguan Mingchen sighed slightly, and said as if talking to himself: "Could it be that my choice at the beginning was wrong?"

But no one answered, and he didn't need a response from others.

Shangguan Mingchen couldn't help thinking back then, when he was only one of the candidates for the patriarch, and his advantage was not obvious.

Shangguan Mingchen's talent is not very good, so he planned a route for himself early on, and the patriarch of the Shangguan family is his goal.

At that time, it was not he who was elected the patriarch the most, but another person. In order to gain more support, Shangguan Mingchen went after the granddaughter of the great elder at that time, who was the only descendant of the great elder.

As long as he can marry her, he can get the support of the First Elder. Even if the First Elder says he is upright, he still has some preference for his only descendant.

Fortunately, this girl is not a monster. Shangguan Mingchen used some tricks to make this girl give up on him. It's just that the girl can't see through his purpose, so how can the First Elder not see through.

So the Great Elder gave Shangguan Mingchen some tests, and Shangguan Mingchen gritted his teeth and survived for the position of patriarch, and then successfully married the Grand Elder's granddaughter.

In order to prove that he didn't marry for the position of patriarch, he even gritted his teeth and withdrew from the competition for the patriarch candidate. Fortunately, he made the right bet. It was his choice that made the elders start to support him and let him be elected smoothly. the patriarch.

Not long after becoming the patriarch, Shangguan Mingchen had his first child, Shangguan Jin, who was named by the elder.

But not long after, something happened. When the Great Elder went to deal with it, he died unexpectedly. After that, the power of the Great Elder was gradually divided up.

Although Shangguan Mingchen is already the patriarch, there has always been a lot of infighting in the Shangguan family. Those who were plotted by Shangguan Mingchen at the beginning all wanted to pull Shangguan Mingchen down. If you haven't fully grown, you must find a new backer.

And the newly appointed Great Elder has become Shangguan Mingchen's target. Others may not know it, but Shangguan Mingchen knows that the death of the previous Great Elder, that is, his father-in-law, is inseparable from this Great Elder. .

It's just that his father-in-law is already dead, and a dead person is naturally less important than a living person. What's more, the newly appointed Great Elder has good means and has gathered most of the Shangguan family. It can be said that as long as he gets this Great Elder His support, then no one can shake his position as patriarch.

But unfortunately, the Great Elder was secretly supporting another person. That person also failed to compete with Shangguan Mingchen for the position of patriarch before. This time their purpose was to pull Shangguan Mingchen down.

More importantly, this Great Elder has a son and a daughter. The son married the man's sister, and the daughter is the man's fiancée. Under such circumstances, it was very difficult for Shangguan Mingchen to get the other party's support.

But there is a saying that goes well, as long as the hoe is well swung, there is no wall that cannot be dug down.

Naturally, Shangguan Mingchen would not do these things too obviously, but secretly searched for a role woman, trained him according to the preferences of the elder's son, and finally found an opportunity for the elder's son to meet this woman.

The eldest elder's son, Liu Zhiben, was originally a flirtatious kind, but his wife was strict with him, so he just beat his teeth casually and never dared to have too much contact with those women.

Liu Zhicheng's wife also knew her husband's faults, and immortal cultivators like them had a longer life expectancy, so they naturally took some things lightly. From Liu Zhicheng's wife's point of view, as long as Liu Zhicheng didn't play tricks, then she would be fine. Open one eye and close one eye.

It's just that their marriage meant an exchange of marriage, and Liu Zhicheng's wife was not the type Liu Zhicheng liked, but he had a cowardly personality and didn't dare to disobey his father, so when the elder asked him to marry When facing the other party, he did not object.

But the girl Shangguan Mingchen cultivated was originally cultivated according to Liu Zhicheng's preferences. After Liu Zhicheng met her, he felt that this was his true love, and for the first time, a rebellious thought arose in his heart.

And this woman is also very good at trying to figure out a man's mind, so it didn't take much effort to fascinate Liu Zhicheng to death.

It's just that Liu Zhicheng was afraid of his father and wife, so he only interacted with this woman secretly, and he didn't dare to let others know that this woman was always thinking of Liu Zhicheng, and she was willing to be hidden in the dark.

Being strong and aggressive on the one hand, and gentle and careless on the other, the balance in Liu Zhicheng's heart naturally became more and more tilted. In the end, no matter what his wife did, he found it unpleasant. The two often quarreled, which also made his wife aware that something was wrong.

Soon, his wife found out that Liu Zhicheng had secretly raised a woman, and more importantly, this woman already had Liu Zhicheng's child, and she and Liu Zhicheng had been married for many years but still had no child.

It's not that the two have physical problems, but that it is difficult for immortal cultivators to have offspring, and it is not easy to have offspring, so immortal cultivators also pay special attention to offspring.

Liu Zhicheng's wife knew that the two had a child, and with Liu Zhicheng's attitude, she knew that if this continued, maybe Liu Zhicheng would really make a decision not to want her, although it was nothing to her.

But now her elder brother and the patriarch Shangguan Mingchen are fighting fiercely, and she needs the support of the elder very much. She absolutely cannot separate from Liu Zhicheng at this time, and she can't do it even if she is asked to accept that woman.

In the end, Liu Zhicheng came up with a way, which was to get the child under his own name and become his own child. In this way, if that woman started a fight with Liu Zhicheng, Liu Zhicheng would definitely be disgusted.

Liu Zhicheng's wife thought very well, but she didn't expect that when the woman heard the proposal, she would agree immediately.
