Seeing the particularly familiar faces of the Zhou family, Ji Sanning felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

This……

This is……

Mighty Marquis Mansion?

Is it that rogue Houfu who is famous all over the capital?

Ji Sanning looked at the Zhou family in a daze, and things about the Hou Mansion came to mind.

The Weiwu Hou Mansion prospered fifty years ago, thanks to the deceased old man of the Zhou family.

The old man was a fierce general who followed Emperor Gaozu to conquer the country. After Emperor Gaozu established himself firmly in the country, he named him a mighty lord. Unfortunately, the old man suffered many injuries on the battlefield and died thirty years ago. Emperor Gaozu expressed his gratitude to the old man and vowed to die for many years. Following him, the old man's eldest son Zhou Youan inherited the title, and he was particularly gracious and was not demoted.

However, this Zhou Youan is a thing that cannot be supported by mud.

When the old man was still alive, he was as docile as a quail, not daring to engage in evil deeds, and just relatively useless and incompetent. But when the old man passed away and he became a marquis, his true colors were revealed.

He can do anything from eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling.

Incompetent, playful, and clueless.

He lost again and again in the casino. When his family didn't have enough money, he sold his family property and shop. In more than ten years, he lost all the family business that the old man had saved.

With no fields and shops to sell, he sold the valuables in his house.

Whatever antique calligraphy and paintings, whatever gold and silver utensils, as long as they could be sold at a high price, he would pawn them all without feeling any distress.

Not long after, the huge Hou Mansion was reduced to an empty shell by him.

If it weren't for the majestic and gorgeous Marquis Mansion built by the imperial court and given by the emperor, Zhou Youan could only live in it and not sell it. I'm afraid he would have to sell the Marquis Mansion for money and use it for gambling!

He was so wasteful and ignorant, so he naturally made his first wife angry to death.

Half a year after the death of his first wife, his eldest son resolutely left the Weiwu Marquis Mansion, abandoned his useless father, and rushed to the border.

Later, he was really too poor to live a good life, so he lowered his profile and married a wealthy businesswoman as his second wife.

But not long after the step-wife came to the house, he lost all his dowry again.

With a shy face, he repeatedly asked his step-wife to go back to her parents' home to ask for money. However, the businessman was very shrewd. After giving the money several times, he realized that the couple had a bottomless pit that they could not fill, so he reluctantly gave up on this noble son-in-law and took the family with him overnight. He moved out of the capital and ran back to his hometown thousands of miles away to develop.

So from then on, Zhou Youan and his stepwife were completely impoverished.

When the imperial court distributed monthly stipends, Zhou Youan and his step-wife would live a good life for a few days with their twins and twins. After spending the stipends, they would start eating and drinking everywhere.

At first they still wanted to be shameless, but after they got used to eating and drinking together, they even lost their shame and completely fell in love with this life of rogues.

However, there are many dignitaries in the capital and there are many banquets. As long as they are shameless, with their status as marquis, they really can't starve to death in this capital!

Every day they let people keep an eye on who has work to do. Whenever there is a banquet, they will carry a piece of wall brick and tile pulled from the Marquis's mansion and go to give people gifts and banquets.

Naturally, some people disliked them and ridiculed them, but they themselves were shameless. They smiled and said that etiquette is more important than affection. Your noble master cannot dislike the poor and love the rich. Then, what can the master do? He really put this person on the big day. Will Mr. Hou be kicked out?

Therefore, the Zhou family relied on eating and drinking everywhere, but they didn't starve to death, and they were still very "famous" in the capital!

The people in the capital may not know the name of the prime minister or the name of the prince, but when it comes to the old rogue Marquis of the Mighty Marquis Mansion, everyone knows that his name is Zhou Youan!

Thinking of this, Ji Sangning's eyes darkened for a while.

She bit the tip of her tongue and stared at Zhou Youan, who was nearly fifty years old, and his wife and children!

If she remembered correctly, You'an also came to Prince An's Mansion this week to eat and drink, and every year he brought the thirty-year-old step-wife and the fifteen-year-old twin to her birthday party!

When she held a birthday party half a year ago, the Zhou family even came shamelessly!

At that time, the servants reported to her that the old rogue Marquis had brought a wall brick as a gift for dinner. She also ridiculed her with disdain, saying that there was no need to drive people out, just treat a table of food as charity to a few wagging tail dogs. .

But now...

Now Ji Wushang actually said that these shameless dogs are actually her blood relatives?

How could this be her family?

Absolutely impossible!

Ji Sanning could not accept this blow.

She looked at Zhou Youan, who couldn't hide his vulgarity even in his gorgeous clothes, and couldn't believe that this was her grandfather!

Her grandfather should be as tall and powerful as Ping Nanhou next to him!

She turned to look at Ji Wushang and opened her lips with tears in her eyes, "Father..."

She shook her head and said every word, "You, you must have said it wrong, right? Didn't you say last night that my biological father was a gentleman of noble character and a very promising son? How could he be Zhou? family?"

Ji Wushang looked at Ji Sangning's shocked and despairing look, and his heart was filled with joy.

He dusted his sleeves and said slowly, "Isn't what I said right? Your biological father, Zhou Yulang, is indeed the eldest son of the Hou family, and he is a good son with a bright future."

"..."

Ji Sanning opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

That's right...

Although the Weiwu Hou Mansion is a family of scoundrels, they have a very promising eldest son, Zhou Yulang, who is already a fourth-rank border officer at a young age!

At that time, everyone said that Zhou Yulang looked like his grandfather, and in time he would definitely become a fierce general again!

But good people don't live long. Ten years ago, the promising Zhou Yulang died in battle!

Thinking of this, Ji Sanning felt like the world was spinning.

how come……

How could this be?

Her promising father had died in battle, and his bones were rotting to pieces, while her relatives who were still alive were more useless blood-sucking leeches than the last!

If she returns to Weiwuhou Mansion, what good life will she have in the future?

She will be sucked to death by these shameless hungry dogs of the Zhou family. When she dies, the Zhou family will pounce on her, break her bones to pieces and suck her marrow!

Do not!

She must not recognize her ancestors and return to her clan!

She must not go back to the Zhou family!

She doesn't even admit that such a family is related to her by blood!

She used to think that her father was still alive, she thought that her father was promising, and that after she recognized her ancestor and returned to the clan, she could live a good life with her father and continue to be the young lady of the Hou Mansion that everyone envied, but what was waiting for her now?

It’s a shabby settlement where the whole family eats and drinks together every day!

If she returns to such a house, it means that she will have to give up the high bed and soft pillows of bird's nest and shark's fin in the future. She will also have to follow her grandfather Zhou Youan with a hungry belly and shamelessly go from house to house carrying the bricks and tiles removed from the walls. Begging for food from door to door!
