Chapter 159: Adoption

Mrs. Liu was dragged away directly by two guards.

"No, brother, what do you mean? When you were sick, we took care of the chores in the house for you. Not only did you not thank you, but you also beat people and sent them to the Yamen? Is there any law?" Third Uncle said angrily,

"Second brother, why don't you say anything? It was you who proposed that we take charge of this key."

The second uncle finally realized that his eldest brother was going to get someone operated on, so he would not plead for mercy at this time.

At that time, I asked the third person to take charge of the keys to prevent today's situation.

Pretending not to hear, he picked up the tea and started drinking.

"Ah..." Mrs. Liu's scream floated in, making everyone feel terrified.

This prince went into battle to kill enemies when he was young, and he has never been a soft-hearted person.

"Where is the key to the warehouse?" the Duke asked again.

Listening to the screams outside, the third uncle knew that his eldest brother was here to settle accounts today, but thinking that he would have to decide on an adoptive candidate today, he endured it for the time being.

As long as his grandson adopts his name, won't the Duke's Mansion still belong to him?

Immediately, he stopped insisting and asked someone to get the key from Liu's house.

The Duke asked someone to give the key directly to Uncle Wang, "Today we are going to find someone to break down the door in the warehouse. Remember, both the key and the door will be replaced."

"Yes!" Uncle Wang suddenly felt mixed emotions when he saw that the key that they had snatched away from him came back again.

"Carefully check the account books for more than a month, how much was used, where it was used, and who paid it. Sort it out and send it to their respective houses. If they refuse to pay back the money, report it directly to the Yamen."

The Duke said coldly.

He didn't care about this before. After all, he was a lonely old man and it was useless to ask for so much money.

But in the past few days, he heard from Yin Shuang that Luo'er had gone to the gambling house to get money in order to raise money for him to buy medicine. In the palace, he was also worried about money every day. It was conceivable that he was so ill.

For a period of time, Luo'er's life was very difficult.

Anyway, he has no heir now, so he might as well give all the money to Luo'er so that she can live a more comfortable life in the harem.

"What? You still want to pay back the money?" At this time, even the second uncle's face looked a little dissatisfied.

How much money can they spend in the Duke's Mansion?

Big brother actually wants to settle matters with them so clearly?

In the past, my eldest brother was not like this.

But seeing the serious and indifferent look on the Duke's face, he still swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Forget it, as long as I can get the title later, the money will be nothing.

"Brother, you can settle this account slowly in the future. Do you want to discuss the adoption now?" the second uncle asked.

This is the real reason why they came here this time.

"Yes, the adoption matter should be settled as soon as possible, and the sooner you can feel at ease."

Everyone agreed.

If not for this title, why would anyone come here?

"I have recovered now, so please don't mention the matter of adoption in the future." After all, the Duke actually still had a faint hope in his heart, thinking that his incompetent son would come back one day.

This title is the only thing left to him.

"Brother, this adoption matter is of great importance. It is a matter for our entire family. It is related to the prosperity of the Su family and is not something you alone have the final say. If you had useful heirs, we wouldn't worry so much.

Look at you, you are almost fifty now, your wife, son and daughter are dead and disabled, and you are the only one left in the entire Duke's Mansion. You survived this time, but what about next time? You said you would never
