Capítulo 1817: 1817 Dad just died and you’re already grabbing “…” Xiao Chonghuai had this idea. If Xiao Yuchuan were merely the son of the fifth brother without the power of the Poison King Valley, considering he had never dealt with the Xiao Family’s authority, there was no need to fear him. What harm is there if a useless hedonistic son snatches his position as the family head? He is the Valley Master of the Poison King Valley. Though Xiao Chonghuai controls part of the Xiao Family’s power, he can’t overpower the Poison King Valley. Old Six, Xiao Chongjing, actually also covets the position of family head, but he lacks the ability to manage the Xiao Family. Should he seize power himself, it may cause dissatisfaction among other brothers like Old Nine. He still respects the fifth brother more, saying: “Old Nine, don’t compete for the family head position with nephew Yuchuan. He is the fifth brother’s only son. If his position isn’t passed to Yuchuan, to whom would it be passed?” “But the fifth brother never let him touch the Xiao Family’s power while he was alive…” “That was in the past,” Xiao Yuchuan said, “I absolutely wanted to be with my wife, and Father and Mother used to dislike my wife. Later, when they learned that my wife Qingyue is the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion, they treated my wife very well. Recently, my Father and Mother often go out with my wife and Ye’er, all happy together. My Father and Mother no longer are angry with me. Just yesterday, my father told me he was preparing to slowly pass on his power to me.” Xiao Yuchuan was lying with open eyes; Xiao Chonghuan would never say that, guarding against him like against a thief. Anyway, the dead don’t jump up to clarify. “Who can prove that my fifth brother said that?” Xiao Chonghuai didn’t believe it. “Such a major issue is naturally discussed quietly in the Study Room between me and my father,” Xiao Yuchuan countered, “Can Uncle Nine prove that what I said is false?” “This…” Google seaʀᴄh 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝙣𝙚𝙩 Xiao Yuchuan said coldly, “Uncle Nine, I know your concubine just gave you a son. So tell me, if your son were rebellious and disobedient, and you only had that one son, if you died, would you not pass on the wealth and power to him? Instead, give it to your brothers?” “…” Xiao Chonghuai was at a loss for words. “Seeing Uncle Nine’s expression, you are still intending to give it to your son then.” Xiao Yuchuan sneered, “So please, Uncle Nine, empathize and don’t try to snatch the wealth and power from your nephew.” “Old Nine, it is well known that recently the fifth brother and fifth sister-in-law have reconciled with nephew Yuchuan’s family. Even if you are unwilling, don’t dig your own grave.” Old Six, Xiao Chongjing’s words, clearly favored Xiao Yuchuan. “Uncle Six, when my father was alive, he said, he valued brotherhood with you the most.” Xiao Yuchuan looked moved, “It seems my father indeed did not treat you wrongly as a brother. Look at Uncle Nine, my father died with his eyes wide open, unable to rest in peace, probably because he foresaw Uncle Nine trying to steal my position as Xiao Family head, so angry that he couldn’t close his eyes. Uncle Nine, aren’t you afraid my father will become a ghost and come looking for you at midnight?” Xiao Chonghuai looked at the grim dead face of the fifth brother, scared pale, with goosebumps all over. Xiao Chongjing, with a somewhat authoritative face full of grief, said, “The fifth brother and fifth sister-in-law just died . Let’s first enshroud their corpses. Once the cause of death is clarified, the family head position can be discussed later.” “Yes.” Xiao Chonghuai, no matter how unwilling, could only listen to the sixth brother. Xiao Chonghuan wrestled the position of Xiao Family head from the elder brothers above while alive. The elder brothers above killed off their legitimate sons entirely. Starting from Old Six, the other Xiao brothers didn’t lose any children. They also knew that the legitimate sons of elder brother and others died mysteriously. Some things are inconvenient to expose; each sweeps their doorsteps. Too much intrusion would only be getting their own heads in trouble.
