Chapter 309: Must Understand Contentment

Duke An laughed scornfully, "What's the rush with Maternal Aunt Liu's brother's shop? When Maternal Aunt Liu was bought into our household, she had nothing to her name, and the Liu father and son were so poor that they had to sell their daughter and sister on the streets. Do you think I don't know where the wealth they've accumulated over the years came from?"

Continuing, Duke An said, "It must not have been easy for Maternal Aunt Liu to set up these shops and estates. The silver from the sales won't go into the public account but will be kept by your mother, to be used for splitting the family assets when your two sons come of age."

The words "splitting the family" sent a shiver down Ye Hongyang's spine, and he demanded, "So, Father, you're determined to let someone else's son inherit the title of Duke An?"

Duke An looked at him without a word.
