journal:

Today, Xing’s birthday party was lively and grand.

Although many people say that the ceremony is just a face-saving project, I really think that this kind of ceremony can actually reflect the importance of a child in the parents' hearts.

That is me.

From the time I was 10 until I was 20, my father never held a family-level birthday celebration for me.

His mother's decisive departure made him completely lose interest in running this small family.

Birthday party...I can live without it, but I must let my sister Xiao Huan have it. Whatever other little girls in the Lu family have, my Xiao Huan must have too.

But I am just a sister after all. No matter how hard I try or how good I am to her, I can never replace the mother's position.

On Xiao Huan’s 10th birthday, after she made a wish and blew out the candles, she whispered in my ear, “I just made a wish - I hope my mommy will come back.”

After hearing this, I almost lost my composure and told her that birthday wishes cannot be spoken out loud, as they won’t come true if you don’t.

She looked at me, lowered her head and instantly burst into tears. She wiped her tears and said, "I'm sorry, sister. I just... just want you to be happy..."

The moment she cried, I cried too. I almost broke down emotionally and hugged her and apologized to her. I couldn't help but ask her if there was something I hadn't done well enough...

I persuaded her as if I were persuading myself, "Mom will never come back."

I always regret it when I think about that incident afterwards.

I really shouldn't have imposed my emotions on her that day.

Because that was the last time I celebrated her birthday.

Xing...is much luckier than Xiaohuan and me.

Wu and I both love her very much.

We will always love her.

A few days ago, Gojo Rin told me that it was too much of a luxury to let Wu love someone. He even said that Wu’s feelings for me were not love, but lust.

I admit that I was shaken by him, but after thinking for a moment, I realized that what he said was completely wrong and he was too prejudiced against Wu.

Gojo Rin said that Wu-kun would not love anyone, how could that be?

I can feel his love, he just lacked proper guidance when he was a child.

Yes, parents and family members of normal families will teach their children to share toys and food with friends. This is the most basic "education of love".

What about the Gojo family? Did they give Wu Jun such an education? Would they educate the Son of God that they had been waiting for a hundred years like this?

Probably not.

It's not his fault, it's the family's fault.

But today, Gojo Rin blamed Wu for the mistakes they had made.

You know, when I first wanted to send Xing to kindergarten, the elders in my family strongly opposed it.

What did they say... Oh, they said, "How can a commoner be worthy of studying the same thing as Miss Xing in the same classroom?"

Later, Xing and her classmates got into a fight, and the elders felt that this once again proved their theory - that the lowly commoners were all barbarians.

They felt that the nobility were elegant and the common people were lowly, just as Pseudo-Xenophon explained in The Constitution of Athens: the common people were ignorant people of inferior quality, and the nobility were the social elite full of virtue.

Based on my experience in two lifetimes, this conclusion is extremely absurd and ridiculous.

Jie distinguishes people by their abilities, and the Gojo family distinguishes people not only by their abilities but also by their classes, but they are not as extreme as Geto Suguru.

It is conceivable that this kind of family environment would have a subtle influence on children. Even Xing, who grew up in such an environment, was affected, let alone Wu, the six-eyed child of the Gojo family?

But even though Wu grew up in such a family, he could still treat others with a normal heart. The affairs of the magic world were not his responsibility, and he could have stayed at the Gojo family and lived a rich life, but he didn't do that. Isn't this enough to show that he has love?

Wu loves me and also loves our children.

He does know how to love, but Gojo Rin may not agree with his way of loving.

People say that love and desire are different, but to me there is not much difference between the two. Perhaps love and desire are one and the same.

I enjoy the love that Wu gives me. When we possess each other, I feel satisfied and happy. I believe he feels the same way, so he never tires of it.

It was because of his love for Xing that he wanted Xing to be his heir. Wu even kept telling me that Xing was all he needed, because he knew that raising a child was very hard for a mother.

It is because he loves his daughter and knows how difficult it is for women to gain a foothold in this country and this society that he insists on doing this.

Whether it is Old Orange or other forces, they may look down on an ordinary young lady, but they will never look down on the young master of the Gojo family.

A daughter used for marriage alliance and a daughter who serves as an heir are, of course, completely different.

I myself am a living example.

But this is just Wu's idea, Xing may not agree. After all, she told me a few months ago that she wanted to be a female star.

On the morning of today's birthday party, Wu asked her, "Xiao Xing, do you want to inherit the Gojo family?"

Xiao Xing stroked the tabby cat she called Sister and pouted, "What's the benefit of inheriting the Gojo family? Can it make everyone listen to me?"

"Of course!" Wu answered her.

So Xiao Xing jumped up with a happy smile: "Is that so! Then I will reluctantly accept your request, Dad."

After saying that, she ran over with the cat in her arms. After thinking for a while, she suddenly shouted, "Humph, Dad, you are such a liar! The Gojo Family should have been mine! I am the eldest, and I am your first child! I am the eldest, and Feng is the younger brother! Since I am the eldest, of course everything belongs to me! You all have to listen to me!"

As she spoke, she puffed out her chest, looking very proud and extraordinary.

After hearing what his daughter said, Gojo Satoru laughed out loud, holding his belly, and agreed, "Yes, yes, what belongs to daddy is yours."

Then he smiled and picked up Xing, kissed her, making Xing giggle.

At that moment, I deeply realized the difference between my daughter and I. I will never be able to fight for or even demand my rights as she does.

As I recall, Xiao Huan also said something similar, and she was only six or seven years old at that time.

I remember she came to me angrily and asked, "Sister, why don't you go to the martial arts training ground?"

After asking, she said in a wronged and coquettish manner: "Grandpa came just now...Since my sister is so outstanding, she should show more in front of Grandpa."

I touched her head and said with a smile, "What's the use? Great-grandfather will never let me inherit the family business."

Because I knew from a very young age that no matter how well I did, my great-grandfather would always look at Xiaoliang and Xiaogong first.

Xiao Huan didn't think so. She said, "Sister, are you going to give up just like that? No! Sister, you can't give up! You are the oldest in our generation, and the first great-grandson of Great Grandpa. You must be special to him."

Although I didn't refute her words at the time, I didn't agree with her in my heart. I started to slack off in the family training very early, but Lu Ci didn't say anything to me. He was strict with the boys in the family, and he didn't have such high expectations for me.

When I realized his true thoughts, I felt extremely disappointed. I knew this was wrong, and I was just being mad at him in this way.

I still remember the earlier times when Xiao Huan was still little.

In the clan school, every time the master taught something, I was always the first to learn it. I also hoped that this would win the praise of my father and the recognition of the head of the family, my great-grandfather.

I want my elders to know that I am a child who can make them proud.

I really expected this at that time...

But, their eyes seem to never look at me.

Slowly, constantly...I felt frustrated and gave up trying. Since I couldn't get recognition, what difference did it make whether I did well or not?

It wasn't until I grew up that I realized that maybe Xing and Xiaohuan were right.

It’s just...I no longer have the chance to take the position of the head of the family...but that doesn’t mean it’s destined to be out of my reach.

At the dinner for Xing's birthday today, Wu held Xing and sat on the seat of the head of the family. He asked her to accept the greetings from dozens of heads of branch families who came to visit the main family, and handed her the family emblem and seal that symbolized the family heir, and then asked the ten elders to salute Xing as well.

Although it was very sudden and it was not a formal ceremony for establishing an heir, the meaning behind this action is self-evident.

Satoru was telling everyone that he wanted his eldest daughter, An, to be his successor and the next head of the Gojo family. He chose his daughter over his youngest son, Kaede, who was favored by the elders.

I can guarantee that after today, this news will spread throughout the entire magic circle, and even the entire alien world, like it has legs.

In particular, after Wu got up, he took Feng away from the nanny's arms and gave her to my great-grandfather Lu Ci, who had just attended Xing's fifth birthday party.

Lu Ci held Feng in his arms, a rare look of joy on his face. He told Wu, "All the formalities and documents have been processed."

The moment he opened his mouth, I was stunned.

I have been his great-granddaughter for 25 years, but this is the first day I know my great-grandfather Lu Ci... He can speak Japanese! In fact, he speaks Japanese very well!

Xiaoliang once said to me half-jokingly, "Grandpa can speak foreign languages, and he is still very good."

He said he heard his great-grandfather talking on the phone with a foreigner, chattering away. I just smiled at the time, thinking he was joking with me.

Because in my impression, when Lu Ci met with foreign visitors, he always brought an interpreter with him.

But today...I believe it.

My great-grandfather is not only good at English, but also very good at Japanese.

Wu told me that he had talked to Lu Ci last year. Feng has the same surname as me, and is recorded in the Lu family tree as the grandson of my father Lu An.

I shouldn't have agreed to this. I was using my child as a bargaining chip. But I agreed anyway...

The competition for the succession of the Lu family has come to light. The second branch needs Feng, my father Lu An needs this child, and so does my grandfather Lu Xiao. Of course, it's not just for them. It's also for myself and for Xiao Huan...

Xiao Huan, this time I promise you that I will definitely get back what belongs to us!

...................................................

PS: If Wu had only had Xing as his child, the elders and heads of branch families would have no choice but to accept Xing as his successor.

But these two people "failed in contraception" and gave birth to a son... emmmo... In this case, if they still insist on having a daughter, the operation will be more difficult and the risks in the future will be greater.

Therefore, letting the son take his mother's surname and directly enter the Lu family tree is a move that cuts off the source of the problem.

If we get this done first, the elders will be completely helpless later.

And Xiaoqin's father is really short of children. One of his two children married out and the other passed away. They are going to be extinct...

Let's talk about Lü Huan's death here

The cause of Lv Huan's death in "Under One Person" is still a mystery. There are two relatively accepted theories among the current speculations:

The first one is that she might have been killed by her entire family because she discovered the Lu family’s biggest secret, the “Shuangquan Hands”.

The second one is that she died because of her talent of "Soul-Reading Technique", or more directly, because of the family's hidden struggle for inheritance.

The Lu family has two kinds of skills, "Minghunshu" and "Ruyijing". The former, like the Gojo family's skills, can only be inherited through blood, so the women of the Lu family do not marry outside the family (the loss of blood means the loss of "Minghunshu". Feng's situation is special after all, while Xing's is the norm, and Xing has Minghunshu and has a good talent. If Lu Qin and Wu have another child, this child will most likely also have "Minghunshu"); and "Ruyijing" is a family-inherited "acquired skill" that can be practiced, but it has always been passed down to boys, not girls.

However, because Lv Huan showed such a high talent, far surpassing her peers, and even crushing the elders in the family, Lv Ci made an exception for her and personally taught her Ruyi Jin. It can be imagined how much Lv Ci valued Lv Huan.

Even though Lu Ci would not make her the heir because of ancestral teachings, the appearance of Lu Huan did break the balance of power among Lu Ci's four children - Lu Zhong, Lu Xiao, Lu Ping, and Lu Yi.

Among the four children of Lü Ci, three were sons: the eldest son Lü Zhong, the second son Lü Xiao, and the third son Lü Yi (the third son and his descendants had no talent and were eliminated early).

In this generation, the eldest son is the most talented.

By the second generation (the heroine's father Lu An and uncle Lu Ping), the two families were similar and had mediocre qualifications.

However, by the third generation, the situation was completely reversed. In terms of talent, Lü Huan > Lü Qin > Lü Liang > Lü Gong > other branches of the same generation.

Moreover, all four of them are grandchildren of the second son Lu Zhong. Lu Zhong has only four grandchildren in total. All four children possess the Soul Illumination Technique and have good talents.

(Note that Lü Gong is Xiao Qin's cousin. They have the same grandfather, Lü Zhong: Lü Zhong's eldest son, Lü Ping, gave birth to Lü Gong and Lü Liang; Lü Zhong's youngest son, Lü An, gave birth to Lü Qin and Lü Huan)

Even though the two most outstanding children of the second house were girls and could not inherit the position of head of the family, it was inevitable that Lu Ci's choice of successor would lean towards the lineage of his second son Lu Zhong.

What's more, after so many years, Lu Ci has been slow to decide on a successor.

If you were from the eldest branch of the family, would you be anxious?

Just at this time, Lu Huan suddenly died in a very strange way, and the crime of murder was inexplicably pinned on her cousin Lu Liang.

Three years later, the Lu family, who had never married off their daughter, actually agreed to marry their daughter off. The chosen Miss Lu happened to be Lu Huan's elder sister and Lu Zhong's granddaughter.

Now, the three most capable of the second wife’s four grandchildren have either died or passed away, leaving only the most mediocre Lu Gong.

Lu Huan’s sudden death was a major loss to the second branch of the Lu family, or to the entire Lu family.

It has been almost 1944 years since the Jiashen Rebellion (100), and the Lu family has only produced one child with such talent, Lu Huan.

The heroine Lu Qin herself admits that she is not as good as her sister.

You know, regardless of IQ, in terms of ability, having a child is like opening a blind box. Even if the inheritance rate of the Soul-Clairvoyance Technique is higher than Zenin's "Ten Shadows" and Jiamo's "Red Blood Manipulation Technique", it is not 100% inherited, and even if it is inherited, it is likely to be a half-useless person who has difficulty even deleting people's memories.

So it's not surprising that the Gojo family promoted Gojo Satoru as the Son of God. They've been waiting for three hundred years. I can imagine the moment he was born and opened his eyes, the whole Gojo family must have been boiling with excitement.

Some people guessed that it was Lü Ci who killed her, saying that Xiao Huan was silenced because she discovered the secret of Lü Ci's affair with Duanmu Ying, which was the secret of Shuangquan Hands....

Ah, well, I don’t think so.

He did not kill Lu Liang who joined Quan Xing. And judging from the comics, Lu Ci still liked Lu Huan, the most talented child. Lu Huan's personality was even more pleasing to the elders than Lu Qin.

Even with Lu Ci's unscrupulous behavior, the most he could do was to imprison Lu Huan and force her to keep giving birth to children for the Lu family (which is also quite perverted).

So it shouldn't have been Lu Ci's doing.

I have a bold guess. Judging from who benefits the most and who is the murderer, it might have been done by someone from the eldest branch of the family.

In just three years, the new forces of the Second House were almost completely lost. Didn't Lu Zhong, the head of the Second House, have doubts himself? Or did Lu Ci Laodeng not suspect that there was a traitor in the family?

Of course, the suspicion of the third room cannot be ruled out.
