Yu Qi watched the father - son duo showing affection towards each other and let out a soft snort. The grandsons of his eldest nephew's family got along quite well.

The first three were legitimate sons born of the same mother, so it was normal for them to have a good relationship. Even the fourth son, a concubine - born child, was honest and diligent in handling miscellaneous affairs without causing any trouble.

He was a man of some learning. It was said that the eldest nephew was trying to get him a position as a minor official through donation.

Apart from the pressure from Sun's natal family, Yu Qi had been deliberately finding faults today mainly because of this matter.

He wanted a share of the pie for his own branch, so that his good - for - nothing son could get a position. It was so important for their branch that at least his son wouldn't be a commoner anymore!

The first branch was united. Unlike their sixth branch, where fathers and sons, uncles and nephews fought like angry cocks over the family's meager assets all day long.

He was extremely annoyed. Why was their family prosperous and harmonious while his own branch was getting worse with each generation!

He deliberately insinuated, "Third, today your Sixth Grandpa is here to be fair. Honestly tell me, do you dare or do you not dare to blame your father and elder brother?"

With a kind look on his face and an encouraging look in his eyes, he almost blurted out the words "I want to stir up trouble and I support you".

He said gently, "Our Yu family emphasizes that harmony in the family leads to all things prospering. The first principle is that no descendant should be wronged. You just say that if you don't want to give the child away through adoption, Sixth Grandpa will talk to your father and elder brother on your behalf."

Finally, he added, "I heard that the child is now the Junior Master of the Great Yan Dynasty. Although it's not a high - ranking official position with real power, it's still an official status. Are you willing to give the child away through adoption?"

Although Yu Qi had heard about Yue Fuguang's current position as the Junior Master, he didn't take it seriously at all.

The highest - ranking official in their branch was only a sixth - rank principal clerk. No one in their branch could attend court, nor could they hear Yue Fuguang's inner thoughts. They had no idea about her special status in the Great Yan Dynasty, which made her untouchable.

With his experience of having once reached the rank of sixth - rank official, he thought that a Junior Master who had no real power, no official yamen, and no subordinates was just a mascot.

Since ‌‌ ‌‌ ‌‌‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌‌ ‌‌‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌‌‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌‌ ‌‌ ‌‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌‌ ‌‌ ‌‌ ‌‌ ‌‌ ‌‌ ‌‌ ‌‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌‍the founding of the Great Yan Dynasty, there had been only one National Master and one Junior Master. After their deaths, there had been no such positions again.

So the position of Junior Master held by that little girl didn't carry much weight.

In fact, she just had the advantage of her good looks and was born with a lotus mark, barely considered a lucky child.

Hearing his words, Yu Qinchun thought that it didn't matter whether he was willing or not. Given Yue Fuguang's status, this was no longer just a matter of the Yu Mansion. The Emperor was watching from above.

After his father had analyzed the pros and cons for him, he had secretly observed and also noticed the Royal Family's intention to take the child.

So he firmly answered Yu Qi's obviously provocative question, "Sixth Grandpa, grandson doesn't dare and won't blame father and elder brother. All this is what grandson is willing to do."

Yu Qi still didn't give up and said, "What about your wife? After all, the child was born by her after ten months of pregnancy. The child's biological mother's consent is necessary."

He looked around and said, "Such a big thing, why don't I see my niece - in - law and the eldest grandson's wife? Even if they are busy with the banquet, regarding their own daughter, why don't I see the third grandson's wife? Is she feeling better?"

The Yu family's father and sons knew that this old man was very malicious and was asking knowingly. But Yu Qinchun still replied, "Thank you, Sixth Grandpa, for your concern.

My wife has been recuperating in the village for the past two days. The doctor said she is getting better, but she is not suitable for hard work and needs to rest in the village for a few more days."

He shook his head disapprovingly and said, "Third, eldest nephew, no matter how good the village is, it's not as comfortable as home!"

He continued, shaking his head, "Our Yu family doesn't tolerate the mistreatment of daughters - in - law. Otherwise, if it gets out, how can the younger generation marry wives?

Especially those families who love their daughters pay more attention to these things. You should bring the third daughter - in - law back home earlier."

As he said this, he casually glanced at the nephews of each branch who had been silent since they entered the door.

He knew that the fourth branch was discussing a marriage with a noble lady from a prominent family this year. The girl's family loved their daughter and was still observing the most promising grandson of the fourth branch.

They might not say anything about other things, but when it came to the interests of their own younger generation, they definitely wouldn't stand by and do nothing.

Thinking of the generous gifts sent to his mansion by Sun's natal family, he couldn't help but say a few more words.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Yu Chongshui of the fourth branch said, "Yes, elder brother, for the sake of the family's children's marriages, it's better to bring the third daughter - in - law back home for recuperation earlier."

Yu Chongshan waved his hand perfunctorily and said, "Yes, elder brother will consider it. Let's handle today's matter first, and postpone other things."

Just as everyone was about to get up and walk towards the main hall where the ancestral tablets were placed, Yu Qi spoke up again. He said, "Eldest nephew, isn't today the day to add that girl to the family genealogy? Why doesn't she come here to kowtow to the ancestors and offer a stick of incense?"

As he walked, he showed a disapproving look on his face. "That child doesn't think that just because she is the Junior Master, she can disrespect the ancestors, does she?"

Yu Chongyan, the younger brother of Yu Chongshan, who had been listening silently all the time, couldn't bear it anymore when he heard Yu Qi not only attacking his elder brother and nephews, but now also targeting his grand - niece Yue Fuguang.

Without waiting for his elder brother to speak, he said, "Today is a big day for Fuguang. She must be accompanying the eldest sister - in - law and the niece - in - law to entertain the ladies and young ladies from various families. It's just a matter of adding a name. Why does the child have to come in person?"

He laughed it off and said, "When can't she kowtow to the ancestors? Besides, if we adults can't handle such a small matter well, isn't it a joke!"

If you let a fairy who has descended to the mortal world kowtow to the ancestors, the ancestors would probably come to scold you in the middle of the night!

He thought that the feng shui of their first branch was really good. Otherwise, his elder brother's family wouldn't have a fairy descending to the mortal world. His second sub - branch under the first branch also wanted to enjoy the blessings following his elder brother's family, so they couldn't let this little uncle offend the fairy.

Moreover, asking a fairy whom even the Emperor couldn't afford to offend to kowtow?

This would ruin their feng shui! Could the ancestors rest in peace underground?

Yu Qi sighed and said, "Your first branch just spoils the children! If the reputation of disrespecting the ancestors spreads, how can the children of your first branch, especially the girls, get engaged?"

Yu Chongyan just smiled and said nothing.

Get engaged? In the past few days, not only his elder brother's family, but also their second sub - branch, which had the closest relationship with his elder brother's family, had almost been overwhelmed by matchmakers because of the marriages of their grandchildren.

Before the Emperor made a statement, some people might have been afraid to make a move on the grandchildren and grand - daughters of his elder brother's family. But as the younger brother of Yu Chongshan and the fourth grandfather of Yue Fuguang, the children of his family had become very popular.

Who didn't want to get in touch with Fuguang through them?

Now, whether it was the grandsons or grand - daughters, all the match - making proposals were from prominent families. Even the children who were less than ten years old had suitors.

So, the little uncle's worry was completely unnecessary. Their only problem was that there were too many choices, and all the suitors had high status. They didn't know which one to choose.

So he also came with a mission today. He wanted to ask for his eldest brother's opinion. It was up to the eldest brother to decide whom to choose. After all, they couldn't cause trouble for that grand-niece.

The consensus he reached with his wife and sons was to follow the lead of the eldest branch and cling tightly to the thigh of the young immortal.

Yu Chongshui of the fourth branch, upon hearing the discussion about a marriage alliance, also chimed in, "Yes, eldest brother. What our uncle said is right. We can't spoil the children like this. The proper rules must not be neglected.

You can't let your family's affairs affect the children in your younger brothers' families."
