Chapter 2297 - 2299: Refusing to Inherit the Title

So Yang Chuxia decisively drove the person out of Prince An’s Mansion.

"By the way, I want to discuss something with you." Before going to sleep, Ye Zi’an pulled Yang Chuxia aside.

"What matter is so serious?"

Ye Zi’an said, "Mu Shaoling has already established an heir, it’s time our family did the same. The Emperor’s decision to appoint a Crown Prince inspired me; the Crown Prince is the succession of the dynasty, the heir is the succession of the Marquis Mansion. If we don’t decide now and wait until the children grow up, I’m afraid conflicts may arise between brothers. So I wanted to ask you, who do you think should be appointed?"

"We don’t need to consider Lele, so let’s choose between Yangyang and Qingqing. According to seniority, shouldn’t it be Yangyang?"

Ye Zi’an nodded, "Yes, that’s what I was thinking, but I still wanted to ask if you had any different opinions."

"I don’t have any opinions, they’re both my children. Just go with your initial plan." After a pause, she added, "Just one thing, Qingqing doesn’t have a title, so you’ll need to show him extra care. When the family splits in the future, give him more property."

"Don’t worry, I will definitely make arrangements for Qingqing before I leave the court."

Ye Zi’an and Yang Chuxia planned this well and were ready to present the request for appointing an heir to the court in the coming days.

But who knew that when the matter reached Yangyang, he wouldn’t be pleased.

"Handsome dad, I don’t want to be a Lord Marquis, let Qingqing inherit your title." Yangyang said while enjoying a box of pine pastries. To him, titles and ranks were less tempting than pine pastries.

"Silly child, having a title means lifelong wealth and prosperity, how could you not want it?" Ms. Wang felt distressed; who would push aside a title that was within their grasp?

Fearing her little grandson didn’t understand the importance of a title, she added, "Once you have a title, you’ll have endless silver and endless delicious food."

Yangyang grinned, "Even without a title, won’t I have endless money and endless good food?"

Blinking his eyes, he said, "Besides, if I take the title, wouldn’t Qingqing miss out on endless money and food? I’m the older brother, how could I compete with my younger brother?"

"The most important thing is, I’m so amazing, I can strive for what I want myself!" He said while raising a fist, "Back in the day, I didn’t even want to be Emperor, so why would a Lord Marquis impress me?"

Plus, he even had a gold medal, he had plenty of treasures and certainly didn’t need to compete with Qingqing for things.

Both Ms. Wang and Yang Dachuan were stunned by his bold demeanor.

Yang Chuxia’s mouth twitched, "You really don’t want it? Your father’s title is hereditary, so your son and grandson could inherit it too."

"Gosh, why are you all so annoying?" Yangyang became impatient, jumped off the chair, clutching his pastries, "I haven’t even gotten a wife yet, why worry about sons and grandsons?"

Then he looked directly at Ye Zi’an and said, "Handsome dad, please appoint Qingqing as heir, I won’t regret it when I grow up."

Yangyang arrogantly added, "When I grow up, I’ll pacify the nomadic tribes in the north and those southern tribes; with such achievements, I don’t believe Uncle won’t give me a title! I’m so amazing, I don’t need to fight Qingqing for things."

Ye Zi’an looked at him with sharp eyes, Yangyang turned his head and stared directly back at him, not backing down at all.
