Almost all the guests at the legitimate son's banquet have arrived.

Men and women have separate banquets. The men's seats are in the outer room, and the women's seats are in the inner room, with a verandah in between.

Guests on both sides were chatting enthusiastically about the same topic.

"Have you heard? Today's legitimate son's banquet has a great background."

"Why does he have such a strong background? Isn't it just because the legitimate son has died, and one of the sons named in the concubine's name is to be chosen as the legitimate son?"

"No, no, no, it's wrong! You are all wrong!"

"I've heard about it too. It seems that it's either my concubine's son or Mrs. Shi Er's own son. One concubine was so bold that she exchanged the identities of the two children!"

"Yes, yes, I also heard that this is the real legitimate son! The one who died is the bastard!"

"Oh my god, is it true? Is the back house of the Hou Mansion so messy?"

"Who knows? The old lady in the Hou Mansion is from a small family. She didn't see anyone just now. She said she went out to worship Buddha. Is it such a coincidence? How strange!"

Although it was the same topic, the reactions of the guests on both sides were different.

The gentlemen on the male guest's side just suddenly realized that this was the case.

After all, these gentlemen all have many sons. While direct descendants are important, they are not particularly important.

As long as the bloodline is not confused, it is actually acceptable.

But the female guest was in trouble.

Which matron allows concubines to exchange children!

Which one is not indignant?

Then someone thought, "No wonder the funeral ceremony in the Hou Mansion was so sloppy!"

Some people didn't know about this and asked, "Why is it so scrawled?"

"I don't know the specifics. Originally, my father asked me to come and pay homage because the previous generation of the Duke of the Hou Mansion had taken care of the family. But when I came, I was told that the altar had been removed and the funeral It seems that the ceremony only took place for two or three days."

"The servants in their family were all wearing red and green at that time. I was quite puzzled when I looked at them."

When everyone was talking, Mrs. Wei finally understood the real reason why the eldest daughter of the Shi family was willing to help.

It turns out that the bad guy is not the eldest lady’s biological brother at all!

Even so, she was filled with gratitude.

At this time, Wei Cailing took her sister to the backyard to help Shi Anxia.

Shi Anxia looked at several people arriving in costumes and hurriedly greeted them.

"Why didn't the maids arrange for you to sit down?" Shi Anxia asked.

Wei Cailing shook his head, "No, no, we came here on our own. It's not suitable for us to sit there. My brother said he would come to help you and went to patrol with your house guards."

Shi Anxia smiled, "Thank you brother. We are really short of manpower today."

"Then what else do you need me to do?" Wei Cailing was afraid that she wouldn't be able to help.

"Me, me, me! And me," Xiao Pingting danced high, afraid that Shi Anxia wouldn't be able to see her.

Shi Anxia smiled and touched the soft hair on her head, and thought for a while, "I really need you two sisters to help me."

With that said, Hong Que led the two sisters to Haitang Courtyard.

All the gifts given by the visitors were received in Tang Chujun's house, and they had not yet been registered.

It was just right for Wei Cailing to do this.

After Tang Chujun learned about Shi Anxia's arrangement, he looked confused, "I'm not in a hurry to get the registration gift, so why let an outsider get involved?"

Shi Anxia blinked, "What if Miss Wei is not an outsider? I just want to familiarize her with the general affairs of the Hou Mansion in advance, so that I can share my mother's worries in the future."

Tang Chujun felt that he understood, but seemed not to understand, "She came to share my worries? Do you want Miss Wei to recognize me as your godmother, so that you can give her a backer in the capital?"

Shi Anxia didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She felt that sometimes her mother had a clear mind, but sometimes, she seemed to have a weak mind.

She whispered in her mother's ear, "Is it possible that my brother has her in his heart?"

"Ah!" Tang Chujun shouted, "Get up!"

At that moment, Yunqi opened the door and came in, "Mother, did you call me?"

Tang Chujun suddenly looked embarrassed. He looked at Shi Anxia and then at his son. He forced himself to calm down and said, "No...oh, yes, I called! It's almost time and the guests are about to start their dinner. Let's go there too."

Shi Yunqi had no doubt that he was there, so he went to the male guest room with his mother and sister.

At that time, the head of the family and the elders of the clan came and sat at the table of the old Marquis.

First, the old Marquis spoke and thanked everyone for coming.

After that, the head of the family stood up and briefly stated the incident of child exchange, and then confirmed the matter.

But it was the patriarch's last words that really made the banquet boil.

He said, "After careful deliberation among the Shi family, we decided to revise Shi Yunqi's family tree."

This statement is like a drop of water leaking into a pot of oil.

Blasted!

Modify the family tree! The noble family of Beiyi has no precedent of modifying its genealogy, for fear that it will disrupt the family's inheritance.

When a real and fake princess appeared in the royal family, the royal family did not change the genealogy.

The replaced Princess Chanyu has only received honorary favors so far, but her name is not on the jade certificate.

The Shi family and the Marquis of Jian'an actually revised their genealogy for the sake of a child.

I have to say that the elders of the Shi family are broad-minded and able to handle things.

Only the elders of the Shi family understood what was going on, and felt miserable.

On the third day of the lunar new year, Tang Chujun took Shi Anxia and Shi Yunqi to go to the clan leader and others and made a clear request to revise the family tree.

This time it was not a negotiation, the attitude was very tough.

Now that the prince of the Hou Mansion is favored by the Holy One, the tide of the Hou Mansion is rising.

It's not that the elders of the Shi family are all snobbish, and they really care about the Hou Mansion's heritage.

But Shi Anxia said that the Hou Mansion would open a family school after the new year... He worked harder to draw another cake for Mrs. Shi.

I heard that the clan elders were excited and in high spirits, as if a golden avenue would soon extend to their feet.

Then, Tang Chujun poured cold water on them to wake them up.

She said in a cold voice, "I have been deceived for sixteen years, and my son has been tortured by concubines for sixteen years. Logically speaking, the elder of the Shi family should give me an explanation. Now I just want to revise the genealogy." , I haven’t settled the accounts with the Shi family yet.”

The elder of the Shi family said, "We are not the son we gave you in exchange for him, so what's the point?"

But these words can only be muttered in the heart, never spoken out. Otherwise, why would you be a clan elder? What is a clan leader? Why are they from the same big family?

It's scary for Tang Chujun, who has always been idle, to become so strong. "If the elders don't agree, then I can only find a way to make the Jian'an Houfu line withdraw from the family tree. From now on, we will start a new lineage."

The clan elders were so angry that they almost went to heaven because of these rebellious remarks, and the joy they had felt just now was gone.

The patriarch was angry, "You are a woman, and you are not in charge of the family. How can you represent the Marquis of Jian'an Mansion? It's a joke!"

After saying this, another woman's deep voice sounded outside the door, "Then, as the wife of the heir apparent, can I keep my words?"

Yu Sujun also came.

Only then did everyone realize that the relationship between the eldest brother and the second brother's sister-in-law was really not that good. Even the family tree can go in and out at the same time, so there is really no need to compete for the position of the mistress.

Unexpectedly, another person came in from the door, leaning on a cane and panting. It turned out to be the old Marquis himself.
