Abandoned daughter reborn, legitimate son is resourceful

The Chu family mourning hall was filled with people inside and outside. Most of those standing in the hall were from the Chu family, including Chu Xiaoran of course.

The Chu family's aunt stood in front of the coffin with the help of a cane. The years had left some spots on her face. She pursed her lips and swept her sharp eyes over everyone present.

She used to work in the business world, so she naturally knew some ways of doing things. Later, she was elected as the clan leader, so she no longer went around doing business. Fortunately, the family property she left behind was large enough to support the expenses of their house.

It's just that her daughter is really disappointing. She is of the same generation as Chu Lianqin, but she has not yet married. Therefore, neither the aunt of the Chu family nor a son-in-law can help her deal with the affairs at home.

"Aunt Chu, this is the suicide note left by Lian Qin. Please take a close look at it."

The aunt of the Chu family glanced at the letter indifferently and handed it to her. Chu Lichuan hurriedly took it and helped her open it. There were a lot of words densely written on it, mostly praising how virtuous Gu Yanshu was.

However, there was no mention of Chu Xiaoran in it, and Chu Xiaoran was actually not sure whether it was written by Chu Lianqin.

"It is indeed written here that after her death, all the Chu family's property will be left to Gu Yanshu and his son. Xiao Ran, do you have anything else to say?"

"I have nothing to say. I am not coming back to fight with him for this property. But in the final analysis, I am also a member of the Chu family. Why should Uncle Gu, who is from an outsider family, inherit it?"

Chu Xiaoran's gaze fell on Gu Yanshu's originally smug face. The expression on Gu Yanshu's face instantly turned as cold as ice, and the atmosphere in the entire hall became low pressure.

"It's clearly written in black and white. My aunt is here today, and she will actually do me justice."

The servants in the Chu family were quickly replaced after Gu Yanshu came into the family, so most people just thought that Chu Xiaoran was a jinx, but few of them knew Chu Xiaoran's biological father.

"My father also passed by the Chu family tree legitimately. Logically speaking, the family property should belong to him and his wife in half, and I should inherit my father's share."

Nan Jinming stood aside with great interest, listening with his ears perked up. He had never expected Chu Xiaoran to be so eloquent. In the past, he acted like a little white rabbit in front of him.

"Your father has been dead for so long, what property belongs to her? Even the dowry he brought when he married in, there is nothing left now."

Chu Xiaoran remembered that his grandfather had said that when his father married into the Chu family, someone sent a bunch of gifts, including a box with a letter on it. That was his father's dowry. But so many years had passed, and it was probably that they had already divided it up.

Chu Lianqin is a genuine businessman, just like Chu Xiaoran's father. He gave a large dowry, so even if he is as ugly as a demon, it doesn't matter.

But Chu Xiaoran heard from her nanny that her father was also a fairy, and looked cold, but he was talented in both literature and martial arts, and was a rare talent. But why did he marry here?

Although Chu Lianqin is not ugly, he is a businessman after all. What he values ​​most is always profits, and family marriages are the norm.

"I don't care about these things, but after all, I am included in the Chu family tree. Logically speaking, I am also a member of the Chu family. Moreover, it is just like what my mother said in black and white, leaving all these properties and fields to Chu Zixuan and Uncle Gu. If she really does this, how will the younger generations talk about her in the future? How will they evaluate her?"

The aunt of the Chu family is a very feudal and traditional person. If outsiders really say this to the people of the Chu family, she will probably not be able to hold her head up in the future. Today, she is asked to do justice. If she cannot come up with a reasonable method, all the people in the Chu family, whether they are slaves or masters, will say that she is disrespectful and unfair.

"Zixuan is indeed not included in the Chu family tree. After all, Yanshu married into the family to be Lianqin's second wife. When she entered the family, Zixuan was already four or five years old."

"But Zixuan is indeed Lian Qin's biological child!"

Gu Yanshu couldn't care less about the rumors now. His son was originally a member of the Chu family, so naturally he should get the first place and have a part of the Chu family's house.

When Gu Yanshu said this, everyone present had already understood it tacitly. After all, the matter of Chu Lianqin keeping a mistress outside had already caused a lot of controversy. Now that the person involved told the truth, everyone present looked calm.

"But he is not presentable after all."

Chu Lichuan stood aside and made comments at the right time.

Nan Jinming stood aside, leaning against the pillar next to the gate, with a sneer on his lips. Chu Lianqin was not a good guy either. He already had one at home, so why did he need to keep another one outside?

It would be better to bring her home openly as a concubine than to do it in secret.
