Chapter five hundred and forty-ninth father's story
Michelle was not surprised by everyone's reaction, nor did she want to pay too much attention to the feelings of those people. So she turned around and said to her trusted maid, "Go and bring Master Geron in."
"No! You can't do that!"
As soon as Michelle finished speaking, an elder slapped the table and shouted loudly: "That little boy, he is the bastard child of Dominico, and... and a bastard with dirty blood!"
Michel did not mean that someone would jump out to object, but she also frowned deeply at the old man's vicious words. She took a breath, suppressed her anger forcibly, and said, "Dominico... Although my foolish brother acted... a bit absurd, and even violated the law of the empire and was expelled from the clan, his name still carries "Xuwen". His children, whether you accept them or not, he is my nephew."
"But Michelle, although you were still young when that incident happened, you have now taken up the position of patriarch. Then you should have already understood the secrets of the family. Are you not afraid that the appearance of this dirty bloody bastard will anger that person again and make the situation worse..."
"I only know that in this situation, I will not give up any hope that can save the family, no matter how slim it is."
"But he must be full of hatred for our family..."
"I insist!"
"You are bringing a wolf into the house..."
"Anyway, the situation is no longer more than it is now..."
“…”
*******
Goron sat in the living room, his eyes closed gently, as if he was resting, while the knights of the Xiuwen family stood beside him, as if they were protecting, and more like they were surveillance.
But even if they stared at the little ogre, they wouldn't know that he was using his second magical power with all his strength to capture everything that happened in the basement.
Goron's eyebrows trembled slightly, and his mind recalled the stories he first heard, told to him by his biological father, Viscount Dominico Hugwen.
The crazy father integrated his entire life into fragmented stories and told him to his son, Ge Long.
Originally, these things were just simple stories that had nothing to do with him, and were no different from other stories he had heard. But at this moment, the little ogre corresponded one by one with the messy quarrels in the basement. Coupled with some of his own reasoning and guessing, Geron finally understood a little about that father.
But it is just a traditional routine of fighting for power and profit within a family, but there are some differences...
Ge Long's father is undoubtedly a scum, a waste, a bastard, a playboy who is ignorant and bullies the weak and fears the strong.
Just like the thousands of nobles and young men in the imperial capital.
However, these shortcomings are not a problem in the minds of some people, such as the previous old patriarch of the Hughwen family, Goron's great-grandfather, Viscount Charles Hughwen.
This old patriarch, who has worked on the imperial capital for seventy years and cut off hundreds of heads in his life, is usually serious and respectful to anyone and anything, but he loves his grandson, who has obtained his later years, and is extremely doting.
Lao Hutu not only obeys Dominico, but also willingly wipes the butt for this troublemaker. His attitude towards him is completely different from his other grandchildren. There were even rumors that Dominico is actually the youngest son of the old patriarch, but no one dares to investigate and confirm this matter.
The Xiuwen family at that time was far less powerful than it is now. The title of "executioner clan" was not something that could be used to boast about and show off in the aristocratic circle. But despite this, the title of "viscount" that can be inherited in hereditary inheritance also made countless clans look forward to it. After all, there are thousands of nobles in the imperial capital, but not too many people who truly have hereditary titles.
However, in front of the almost paranoid Sun-loving Madman, the others had no chance at all. Before his death, the old patriarch Charles forced to suppress all oppositions in the clan through a series of iron-fisted means. Although he passed the patriarch outside the patriarch to his eldest son, Dominico's father, Isaac Huwen, directly passed the title of hereditary viscount to his grandson Dominico.
In the old patriarch's idea, this is a guarantee that his beloved grandson can gain an advantage in the family's cruel battle for inheritance rights. Although separating the title from the patriarch's position is very dangerous and even absurd, it is easy to cause the division of family rights.
But the current patriarch is Dominico's biological father after all, so this problem seems to be not a problem.
In fact, if it weren't for the many concerns, Old Charles even wanted to skip the position of patriarch whom he didn't like very much, and directly pass it on to the grandson who would like to please him and be extremely close to him.
However, I lived a very long life and had a strong desire for power. I had been in the position of patriarch for more than 60 years, but I had the son who was waiting for him to die and inherit the position of patriarch for more than 50 years.
Seeing that his son, who was already gray-haired and had an old and sick-looking face, even the paranoid and willful old Charles was a little unbearable. He finally made such a ridiculous arrangement.
Old Charles left like that, leaving behind a seemingly "perfect harmony" mess.
After the death of Old Charles, conflicts within the family broke out. The new patriarch did not have a title, and he was struggling in social situations outside or inside the family. Not only were he despised and ridiculed everywhere, but he also had no majesty and power within the family.
Not to mention that those tribesmen were slanderous in their orders and instructions, they even lacked the minimum respect. After all, everyone is a common nobleman and is treated equally in the laws of the empire.
What made this patriarch even more unacceptable was that because there was no hereditary title, the patriarch and father of Isaac had to bow and salute when he saw his son.
Of course, if Isaac is willing to pass the position of patriarch to his son directly, these problems can be solved, which is what his father, old Charles, most hopes to see. But Isaac is really unwilling to accept it. He has been waiting for decades, but he has not had many years to live, but he has made a wedding dress for his son in vain.
If a person encounters a knot that he can't figure it out, he will easily do something that is unreasonable and extremely crazy. Isaac is a typical example. After being driven crazy completely, he began to prepare for his crazy plan.
The person Isaac hated the most, his father was dead, so he was ready to take revenge on his own son.
At this time, Dominico had no idea at all. He had no concern for the position of "Class leader" who was destined to fall on his head. All his thoughts seemed to be spent on open and secret struggles with peers from other families of similar status, and on flirting with flowers and humiliating civilians. But what he really wanted the most was the half-brother, Amanda Hugwen with an amazing and beautiful face.
Although Amanda Huwen is also Isaac's biological son, his mother is a lowly prostitute. Therefore, Amanda, born as an illegitimate child, has almost the same status as that of an ordinary servant in the family. If it weren't for his younger brother, Dominico, who could only cover the sky with his hands in the family, Amanda's despicable appearance would have caused him a long time ago.
The relationship between the two brothers is very good. Dominico hides his twisted love in family affection and quietly enjoys every day he spends with his beloved brother.
All of this fell into the eyes of Isaac, who was increasingly crazy, so a crazy plan gradually took shape.
It is not difficult to calculate the ridiculous son whose thoughts are all on his brother. On a beautiful night, in a family cocktail party, stimulated by the addition of alcohol and a few instigating words, Dominico finally crossed the last red line. He rushed towards his brother like a crazy beast in front of everyone...
Such a ridiculous thing is actually not a shocking news in the aristocratic circle. It can usually be suppressed within the family.
Although it is inevitable that people will laugh at it when they say it, the Xiuwen family at that time was only the bottom of the nobles and was not valued at all.
However, under the guidance of those who are interested, this absurd thing spread rapidly at an astonishing speed until it was heard by the emperor, who was also famous for his "absurdity". So the person involved in this matter was summoned by the emperor, and everyone knew about the subsequent things. Emperor Durotal fell in love with the mainland's largest beauty Amanda at first sight, and also brought countless favors to his family. The Xiuwen family has soared into the sky since then.
However, there is only one person who is the exception...
That is the "shameless" who took away the "first" of his beloved, Amanda's younger brother, Dominico Huven.
Originally, with the emperor's bloodthirsty style, Dominico was completely dead, but for some reason, the final punishment for Dominico was only deprived of his title and exiled to the ends of the world.
...
After some sorting, this almost complete "story" has emerged in Ge Long's mind.
Although this story is natural and seems reasonable, for some reason, Ge Long always feels that he seems to have overlooked something, and there are still some hidden mysteries in this story that have not been solved.
But to be honest, these experiences of his father are actually just a "story" for the little ogre. As long as Goron knows that his father is still alive, he is already very satisfied. He has no intention of paying attention to his father's so-called "hate, grudge, love and hatred".
Geron would come here with the knights of the Xiuwen family. In fact, he just wanted to see his father again, confirm his safety, and then prepare to leave.
