Chapter 847 I will die now to fulfill your wishes
The old marquis looked at his daughter-in-law, Wan, the concubine who came from a humble family. Her face was filled with undisguised shock, jealousy and disbelief.
He sneered, and then said: "This decision was made by Xuan'er and I. He voluntarily gave up the position of the crown prince to An'er."
There was an uproar at the scene, but they all knew in their hearts that it was impossible, absolutely impossible!
The eldest young master has been seriously ill for many years and has not recovered from his illness, but he is very concerned about the position of the crown prince. He has never thought of abdicating for so many years, so how could he suddenly give the position of the crown prince to Tong Huaian?
But the old marquis said this now, which clearly meant that the old marquis was forcing the eldest young master to abdicate. Everyone felt a sense of regret in their hearts.
How many rumors would the old marquis have to face if he did this? Nothing like this has ever happened since ancient times.
Even if he was anxious, he would wait until the person passed away, but the young master was still holding on to his breath. He sounded pretty good recently, so why would he suddenly give up his position?
"Grandfather?" Tong Huaian felt very sad. He wanted to ask his grandfather why he made the decision without discussing it with them.
But he couldn't ask this out loud in front of everyone. He couldn't imagine what his elder brother was feeling at the moment.
The whole mansion was talking about it, and Tong Huaian felt that even the servants seemed to be laughing at him. They were laughing at him for being impatient and wishing his elder brother would die immediately.
But he really didn't think so. He didn't want the position of crown prince at all. He climbed up to the sixth rank on his own.
After everyone left, Tong Huaian immediately followed the old marquis to the outer study.
"Grandfather, why are you doing this? Aren't you putting me in an unfair position? What will people say about me? And what about my eldest brother?"
The eldest brother has always been so concerned about the position of the crown prince that he would test him every time he went to see him. And he also solemnly assured the eldest brother that he didn't care about the position of the crown prince at all.
But now he has directly deprived his eldest brother of his position as the crown prince. How can he face his eldest brother in the future? And his eldest brother is already seriously ill. What if he is further stimulated and his condition worsens?
"Yes! How could you do this, father? There has never been such a precedent since ancient times. How can your son go out and face everyone? Our family will be criticized by outsiders."
What he actually wanted to say was, "Can't you wait any longer?" He glanced at Tong Huaian beside him, and felt dissatisfied with his son.
If he had not revealed this idea to his father, why would his father think of letting his eldest son abdicate?
The old marquis sneered, and then said: "I did this because of you, a fool who knows nothing? You have been coaxed by your step-wife and have lost your way. How could I not know what she is thinking? She is waiting for Xuan'er to die to compete for the position of the prince." The old marquis looked at his eldest son with disappointment in his eyes.
"This is human nature and nothing can be blamed, but as a marquis and the head of the family, you are so foolish that you let her do whatever she wants? If I hadn't sent An'er to his ancestral home when he was young, it would have been a question whether the second An'er could grow up safely.
Since you value her so much, I am naturally afraid that a hundred years from now, there is no guarantee that you will not give the title to her good son.
Dingbei Hou was embarrassed by what he said, but he still insisted: "Don't I understand all this? How could I do this? Father, your worry is too unnecessary. What we are doing now is completely untenable!
How are you going to explain Xuan'er to him? Besides, Lin'er is also your grandson. You keep calling him your son, which is a bit biased, right?"
The old marquis immediately looked like he knew you would be like this.
"You know whether my worry is unnecessary or not."
Old Hu also said, turning his head to look at Tong Huaian, "I will talk to Xuan'er, you don't have to worry, he will figure it out."
In fact, the old marquis was also a little sad in his heart. This eldest grandson was born with his great expectations, but he had been bedridden since birth.
They had waited for so many years and had done their best. Seeing that the imperial physician told him that Xuan'er was on the verge of death in the past two years, he felt that he could not wait any longer.
It wasn't that he was too impatient and couldn't wait even two years. It was because he had a hidden injury from his military service in his early years, and his health was deteriorating. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to survive for much longer.
He had to arrange everything before he died, otherwise after his death, he didn't know who would get the title.
Wan Shi was born in a small family and had a narrow vision. His son had been taught to be a playboy, so how could he rest assured that the Marquisate would be in Wan's hands?
An'er is so ambitious, he is a good candidate for the position of the crown prince. As for the future, we will talk about it later!
"But how can I face my elder brother with grandfather like this? I don't want the position of crown prince." Tong Huaian refused.
"This is something I asked the Emperor for, and it is because of your meritorious service in this trip to Jiangnan that this imperial decree was issued. Since the imperial decree has been issued, you have to accept it even if you don't want it."
In the third courtyard, Tong Huaixuan pushed away the medicine bowl brought by his wife Yang Shi. Yang Shi didn't hold it firmly, and the medicine fell to the ground and cracked.
"Why are you angry at me? You refused to drink the medicine properly. Now that you have lost your position as the crown prince, what hope do I have to live?"
Yang wiped her tears with a handkerchief. The imperial edict was like a bolt from the blue. They had been married for many years, but because of her husband's poor health, they couldn't even have children.
Now, she has lost her position as the crown prince. Not only is she a widow at a young age, but she also has no children. What should she do in the future? She feels confused.
"You all want me to die sooner. I'm blocking your way if I'm alive, right? But I can't die and I'm hanging on, so you can't wait any longer." Tong Huaixuan smiled, with some helplessness and viciousness in his smile.
His eyes were filled with resentment. "I have been in poor health since I was born. Is this something I can choose? But I am the eldest son. Isn't this a stumbling block?"
As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Yang, "You also wish that I would die sooner so that you don't have to serve me. Then I will die now to fulfill your wish."
Tong Huaixuan said, and suddenly pushed Yang away. Then he lay on the edge of the bed and picked up the broken pieces of the porcelain bowl on the ground.
He picked up the broken pieces of the porcelain bowl and was about to cut his neck with it, which scared Yang.
Yang quickly hugged him and said, "My husband, if you die, how can I live?"
Yang's tears welled up in her eyes. Why was her and her life so miserable?
"Alright! Be quiet, you're making such a fuss and making the servants laugh at you." Suddenly, an old man's majestic voice sounded.
Tong Huaixuan sneered when he saw the person coming, "Grandfather, are you here to see if I'm dead or not? Don't worry! I will make your wish come true and find a place for Tong Huaian as soon as possible."
The old marquis sighed, "This is my decision, and I am the one who is sorry for you. An'er doesn't know about it, and he has always respected you as his elder brother."
"He respects me as his elder brother? Then there is no way he can take away my position as the crown prince." Tong Huaixuan roared.
Tong Huaian, standing in the yard, closed his eyes and made a decision in his heart.
