Started as a poor little girl

"Grandpa, it's me, I'm Jinghan!" Wei Jinghan walked out from the flower bed at the door and walked to the door nervously and awkwardly.

The door was opened from the inside, and a handsome young man stood at the door. Wei Xinyan came out and made a gesture of invitation. Wei Jinghan bowed and thanked Butler Wei before entering the house.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry. It's all my fault that I didn't protect Ling Heng, otherwise he wouldn't have..." Wei Jinghan's eyes were red, but he held back his tears. He was afraid that if he cried, Grandpa would be even sadder.

Although Wei Lingheng said that his cousin was suspicious, he was such a simple child. People like Wei Zhonglin, who had fought on the battlefield for many years, were very accurate in judging people. It didn't seem like this child was pretending. He was really worried about him and really felt that he was wrong.

But it is definitely related to this child. It must have been done by someone close to him.

Now the big fish is right outside the door. All Wei Zhonglin has to do now is to throw out the bait and wait for the fish to take the bait. He doesn't know how much bait he has to throw outside before the big fish will take the bait, so he can only proceed step by step.

Wei Zhonglin reached out and stroked Wei Jinghan's head lovingly. "It's okay. This is his fate. It's not your fault. You are a good child."

"I'm sorry, great grandfather, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to Ling Heng, I shouldn't have let him accompany me to the village to play, I'm sorry, wuwuwu~ wuwuwu..." Wei Jinghan, whose defense was broken by the great grandfather's gentleness, cried with snot bubbles coming out of her eyes.

"Alas, my poor Ling Heng! The position of the crown prince is vacant again, and I am old. I don't know which nephew to choose! Jinghan, are you willing to be the crown prince?" Wei Zhonglin had a worried look on his face, not knowing which one to choose.

After hearing what Wei Zhonglin said, Wei Jinghan's snot bubble burst in fear, and the snot fell into her mouth. "No, no, no, I can't do it, Grandpa. I don't have the brains, and I don't have the skills like Ling Heng, and I don't like learning martial arts."

When Wei Zhonglin saw his nephew's silly look, he didn't know whether to be angry or amused. How could such a simple child be involved in such a dispute?

"Alright, alright, go and keep vigil! You are Ling Heng's best cousin." Wei Zhonglin pinched his brows with a tired look and waved his hand.

Wei Jinghan obediently left the room. Even though Butler Wei was waiting for him at the door, he still quietly closed the door and left.

Xiaoyu, who was in the dark outside the door, was so angry that she left after hearing Wei Jinghan's answer.

The big fish behind the small fish raised its mouth and showed a sinister smile. "How can that fool be worthy? However, you can fight if you want. Anyway, I just want to gain benefits from it."

Da Yu left Wei Zhonglin's yard in a few jumps. He had to make his next plan. The title of Crown Prince was just an empty title. He only wanted the immense wealth of Wei Lingheng's family. These idiots looked down upon the richest man in the capital, but he did. That was wealth that could rival a country!

In a secluded courtyard, Big Fish and Small Fish met each other. The Big Fish had his face covered and was wearing a hat, so it was impossible to tell who he was.

"If the old marquis actually counts these nephews and grandchildren, how can my silly boy have a chance of winning? Do you have any ideas?"

Xiaoyu Wei Yancheng, Wei Jinghan's father, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan when he heard what the old marquis said. He wanted his son to be the prince so much, but why did his silly boy refuse?

"Don't be anxious. First, tell those people about the old marquis's idea and let them fight among themselves. The old marquis dislikes those who have improper thoughts about the position of the crown prince the most. Then you can just watch and reap the benefits." The big fish's voice was hoarse, and it sounded like a devil crawling out of hell.

"Okay, then I'll go first. We'll contact each other later. I can't be out for too long, or they will suspect me." Xiaoyu Wei Yancheng turned around and left in a hurry.

The big fish standing there smiled at him, his smile was cold and emotionless. "Haha~ Wei Yancheng, do you think you are the fisherman? No, I am. I am the fisherman and I am just waiting for you snipe and clams to fight each other."

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...the big fish jumped a few times and disappeared into the night.

"Really? You are the fisherman, and what am I, an old man?" Wei Zhonglin looked at the black shadow disappearing into the night. He was looking forward to the fishing game.

"My Lord, do you want me to chase after you?"

Wei Xinyan wanted to chase after him and stop Wei Zhonglin, "No need, this big fish will come out on its own. Just arrange everything recently. They will definitely be unable to sit still after seeing Ling Heng die."

"Yes, sir, I am stupid and inconsiderate." Wei Xinyan saluted. He felt very sorry for why he was so stupid and couldn't think straight.

"Let's go back and have some rest, let them make a fuss!" Wei Zhonglin went back to his yard with his hands behind his back to have some rest. He had to conserve his energy so that he could watch these little monkeys perform!

Wei Lingheng felt really uncomfortable lying in the coffin, but luckily the coffin was big enough, and Grandpa Wei had hidden some food and water for him inside, so he could eat a few bites quietly.

He lay there for two whole days. Those people were so patient. Tomorrow morning Wei Zhonglin would have to carry him up the mountain to bury him. Why didn't they do it yet? They were so patient.

The next day, Wei Lingheng was carried up the mountain and a mound of earth was quickly piled up. Jing Meixue cried her heart out, and the tough guy Wei Deliang couldn't hold it in any longer. He cried like that child and couldn't be comforted no matter what.

In fact, there was a scarecrow in the coffin. Wei Lingheng was replaced by Wei Zhonglin at midnight yesterday after he sent away the people who were keeping vigil.

The first seven days of the lunar calendar haven’t even passed yet! These people who can’t sit still are starting to make a fuss.

The Wei's ancestral hall is particularly lively today, with all the Wei clan members gathered together, especially the Zhongyi Hou family.

Wei Zhonglin is one of three brothers. He is the eldest, followed by two younger brothers. The second and third brothers both have a son and a daughter.

"The heir must be the old marquis' eldest son, but the old marquis' eldest son gave up the position of prince, so we can only choose one of his grandsons as the heir." The patriarch of the Wei family spoke loudly.

"Clan leader, you mean to make the adopted son of Wei Jingjing's family the prince? He is not qualified. He is not of our Wei family bloodline at all." The Wei clan's great elder would not allow someone who was not of their Wei family bloodline to sit in that position.

Although all the clan leaders and elders knew that Wei Zhonglin's brothers were very powerful, his nephews were not good people, and his nieces and nephews were very smart, Wei Jinghan was actually quite smart too.

Their fathers all wanted them to become the old marquis's heirs, and the competition between them was very fierce. They attacked each other, framed each other, and even killed each other.

"Then the child of the Marquis's biological daughter is an adopted son, but Jingjing is unmarried, so it is natural for her to adopt the child, and she has raised him quite well." The second elder disagreed with the first elder's statement.

"That's right. Nancy is sensible, filial and gentle. How come such a good child is not qualified?" The third elder had long been fed up with the first elder's expression, and he also retorted.

Since Wei Lingheng disappeared, the fight between them has lasted for several months, but no one has been able to gain the recognition of the old marquis.

"Okay, stop arguing. Aren't we discussing who will be the crown prince now? I'm at my second and third brother Jingjing's house anyway, so we can just pick one from them." It was too noisy, and it made Wei Zhonglin's head hurt.

At this time, a man stood up. He was the old marquis's grandson and his name was Wei Nancy.

"Grandpa, Nancy doesn't want to compete for the position of the crown prince. Now I just want to take good care of you, grandpa, uncle and aunt. Now that Ling Heng is gone, I will take care of you for him."

Wei Nanxi is a very smart person. He is doing quite well in Beijing now and is a newly-emerged rich man in Beijing. Although he is not as rich as Wei Lingheng's family, he is also well-known.

He saw the situation and decided to use this opportunity to his own advantage.

Wei Nanxi didn't want to be the heir of the old marquis, he just wanted to sit back and enjoy the benefits. He decided to manipulate the situation secretly, making the fight between these fools more intense, so that he could gain more benefits.

Wei Nancy began to create conflicts between these big families. He spread rumors and sowed discord, making the relationship between the cousins ​​very tense.

He also used his wealth and power to bribe some people to help him manipulate the situation.

"Thank you, Aunt Nancy is really happy." Jing Meixue took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face.
