"Do you think I trust you or Her Royal Highness the Princess more?"

"I, your concubine, the Marquis..."

Xu suddenly became flustered and her face turned pale.

Looking at her like this, how could Yue Zhengxian not understand something?

There is definitely something fishy going on here!

"Tell me quickly, what's going on?" he shouted coldly.

Xu opened her mouth and her face turned pale.

"In that case, I will tell the Marquis everything."

Yue Zhengxian snorted and let her go: "You should have said it a long time ago."

He straightened his collar and looked at Xu with a somewhat condescending look.

"The medicine I gave the Marquis, in addition to making Yue Yangrui feel tired and exhausted, also has the effect of making him exterminate his heirs."

"You actually did it!" Yue Zhengxian looked at her angrily, raised his hand and slapped her in the face.

"How dare you, you bitch?"

How could Xu withstand such a slap from Yue Zhengxian?

Men are naturally much stronger than women, and Yue Zhengxian has been with the army for many years, so his strength is even greater.

Xu was slapped to the ground, with blood oozing from the corners of her mouth.

His face became even paler and more terrifying.

"What else? If I don't drug him, based on his view of you, Lord Marquis, if he has a child in the future and inherits the Marquis's mansion, will he still obey you as he does now?"

"Oh no, he's grown up now and doesn't care about many things you do, my Lord."

Xu cried, "I feel wronged for you, my Lord."

"If it weren't for the Marquis, would he have been able to live such a life of luxury since childhood? His mother was just a lowly maid. It was the Marquis' kindness that gave him an identity."

"But what about him?"

"After gaining some military merit, you became complacent and no longer respect the Marquis. I feel sorry for the Marquis!"

Listening to what Xu said, Yue Zhengxian frowned slightly: "But, you shouldn't have given him the poison that would kill him off!"

"Now that it's known, how should we deal with this matter?"

He really did not like Yue Yangrui, and Xu's words hit the nail on the head.

In particular, he could clearly feel that Yue Yangrui had become increasingly disrespectful to him over the past five years.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of drugging the person to claim Yue Yangrui's credit.

If he was a truly filial child, there would be no need for him to do anything. Yue Yangrui should have given all the credit to him long ago, right?

In a sense, Yue Zhengxian is very selfish.

In his eyes, his son and other things are not important. What is important is his own interests.

For example, in this case, if Princess Liao Ning hadn't spoken this out in court, he wouldn't have been so angry.

What he feared was nothing more than Emperor Xia ordering a thorough investigation of the matter, and thus finding out about some shady things he had done...

Xu: "I am also thinking about this for the Marquis. If I don't give him the poison that will kill his heir, then when he has a child in the future, who will inherit this Marquisate in the future, given Yue Yangrui's current status in His Majesty's office?"

Yue Zhengxian frowned: "You mean, if Yue Yangrui has a child, then he might be the one to inherit the mansion? But that's not right! Shouldn't I have the final say? How could His Majesty..."

He hadn't finished speaking yet, and his whole expression didn't look very good.

In fact, although this matter is a bit far-fetched, it must be said that if Yue Yangrui continues to develop according to his current momentum, if he has a child and asks to let his child inherit the Marquis' Mansion in the future, His Majesty might really agree.

As for Yue Yangrui himself, he is a bastard's son. When the legitimate sons and daughters of the Marquis' Mansion are all present, Emperor Xia will not directly let Yue Yangrui inherit the Marquis' Mansion.

However, as for his offspring, that may not be the case...

Especially he is Yue Yangrui’s legitimate son.

After all, Yue Yangrui was born out of wedlock, but his children were not.

On the contrary, it is indeed the bloodline of the Marquis' Mansion.

Given Yue Yangrui's personality, it is really possible that if he has children in the future and they become unhappy with him, this is possible.

After all, his legitimate son and daughter may not be able to defeat him.

By then, he will use some means to kill his legitimate sons and daughters. Then, if he has children, they can inherit the marquisate, and it will become a matter of course.

After all, his other illegitimate sons and daughters were far inferior to Yue Yangrui.

And if he had no children, then, with his status, as a son, he could not rebel against the master of the Marquis's Mansion, that is, himself.

What’s more, there are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no descendants.

He has no descendants, so even if Your Majesty wants to favor him it is impossible.

Not having an heir is a particularly important matter in this era.

The title of Marquis is hereditary and it is impossible for a person without descendants to inherit it.

To be honest, although Xu's reason is a bit far-fetched, it is not impossible.

On the contrary, there is a great possibility that we will do as she says.

"My lord, I am doing this for your own good. That boy is an ungrateful bastard. If he really gets powerful and has his own family, then I am afraid he will not take you seriously at all." Seeing that his expression relaxed, Xu could not help but speak again.

"If Yue Yangrui dies, then His Majesty will remember his merits and take better care of you, Lord Marquis."

"The poison I used is not just to kill him, it's a chronic poison that will first kill him and then slowly take his life."

"From the perspective of outsiders, he slowly fell ill and died. No one would suspect the Marquis."

"As long as he dies, all the glory and merit he has now will belong to the Marquis, right?"

Yue Zhengxian pursed his lips and said, "But Princess Liao Ning didn't say today that the poison he was poisoned with would..."

His expression paused. "So, the toxicity is too low? Just a little bit of it will affect the ability to reproduce?"

Xu responded, "That should be the case. Yue Yangrui is in good health and in his prime. It is not easy for a chronic poison to manifest itself in him."

"I'm afraid that the poison in his body right now is indeed not enough to affect his life."

Yue Zhengxian is a typical egoist. After listening to Xu's analysis, he felt it made a lot of sense.

Moreover, if Princess Liao Ning had not taken his pulse today, this matter would have happened quietly and no one would have known.

If this is the case...

He thought about Prime Minister Fu who praised and liked Yue Yangrui today, as well as Princess Zhaohe and Princess Liao Ning who intended to treat him as siblings.

If Yue Yangrui was not there, then all these beautiful scenes would belong to me, right?
