Chapter 227 Inheritance
Le Zai became the prince of Duke Yun, and the happiest person was Mu Sheng.
Yun Xi could almost feel the relaxation in his soul.
Maybe it’s because the youngest son’s future has been settled.
Yun Xi didn't expect that he was under so much psychological pressure.
At night, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped. Mu Sheng held Yun Xi in his arms, gently stroked her back, and said, "Ever since the Mu family was named Duke Dingguo, I have always felt sorry for you and your mother."
"In the past, we held military power and led troops to fight. Being in power was more of a responsibility, and it was a risk of life. Whoever was suitable would take the job. If one died, the next would take his place. But it's different after being conferred the title of Duke. The title will be inherited by the eldest son, but when it comes time to lead troops to fight, the eldest son may not be the most suitable candidate."
"The Mu family was able to obtain the title largely because of you, but Lezi couldn't get anything from it. I thought before that I would work harder to earn a future for Lele. It may not be as high as a Duke, but it is at least a gift from being a father. Now that Lele has become the Crown Prince, although it was not given by me, it is still a good thing. Don't worry, I will continue to work hard to earn more for him."
He kept talking on and on, but Yun Xi didn't respond and pretended to be asleep.
There is no way to respond to this topic. The eldest son inherits the throne is the prevailing rule in this society. There is only one title, but usually there are more than one child.
Even brothers from the same mother may scheme and fight for the title until they are bloodied, but parents will not have such entanglements.
Mu Sheng thought so much, in the final analysis, it was only because Ah Yan and Le Zai were two mothers. He was also a responsible father, trying to treat them equally, taking good care of the original wife's son and loving the younger son well.
Let Lezi inherit the title of Duke of Dingguo without Ah Yan? Yun Xi herself would never do such a thing, not to mention others. If Mu Jinyan was a bad boy, she could still fight for it, but he was not. He respected his mother and loved his younger brother. He was a very rare good boy.
Therefore, for Yun Xi, this topic has no solution and is also a moan without reason.
Moreover, truly aristocratic families with a long history are generally more united. They will choose to work together, support each other, and strive for social resources, rather than engage in internal family friction.
As she pretended, she actually fell asleep.
Mu Sheng listened to her steady breathing and tightened his arms around her.
Tonight, Le Zai was taken away by Mu Jinyan, so he could be intimate with Yun Xi and talk about some private things. Usually, their son slept in their room, so the two of them had to be secretive and cautious when having sex.
He had long since instigated Yunxi to sleep in separate rooms from Lezi, so that he could sleep in a room alone. However, Yunxi loved her child so much that she couldn't bear to do it. Once Lezi hugged her and acted coquettishly, Yunxi compromised.
Fortunately, the eldest son is still very supportive. He has moved to his own yard. In the name of letting his younger brother accompany him, he would take Lezi to sleep with him from time to time.
The two brothers have a good relationship, and Mu Sheng and Yun Xi are happy to see it.
It’s not that Lezai can’t sleep without his mother. He sleeps well in his brother’s room.
At first, Mu Sheng was worried and asked the maids to deal with the situation improvisationally and bring the child back if he made a big fuss.
However, the child never made a fuss. Mu Jinyan told him a few stories and he fell asleep. These stories were told to Mu Jinyan by Yun Xi before, and now they were told to Lezi again.
He would go over to check on him in the middle of the night, and every time he would see him sleeping with his arms and legs spread out, his belly heaving up and down, leaving Mu Jinyan with almost no room to stay.
It was never like this when he slept with Yun Xi.
When Lezai was very young, Yunxi was worried that she would crush him when she slept, so she slept in a separate bed from him. Later, when he could sit and crawl, he climbed onto the big bed and slept with Yunxi.
Sometimes Mu Sheng would carry him back to his own crib. Because the crib was connected to the big bed, he could roll and crawl back to Yun Xi with his eyes closed.
Sometimes Mu Sheng would be woken up by him and would look at his wife and children with his eyes open.
Yun Xi turned over, and Le Zai followed suit. Yun Xi lay on her back, and Le Zai also lay on his back, with synchronized movements and consistent postures.
He could stare at it for a long time, feeling it was magical.
