The Wealthy Son-in-law Is Back

A skinny old man was lying on the bed, surrounded by people. They were all disciples of the Dugu family's branch family.    

The only one who could be counted as a direct descendant was the current patriarch of the Dugu family, Dugu Sheng.    

According to the rules of the Dugu family, the eldest son was in charge, the second son was in charge, and the concubines were all part of the branch family.    

This strange rule was not made by someone else, but by this withered old man, the previous patriarch of the Dugu family, Dugu Shou.    

The old man was born in the chaotic era. At that time, the Dugu family was just a small family in the Yanjing. The young Dugu Shou had no choice but to carry out the mission of revitalizing the family.    

At that time, people thought that they shouldn't put the eggs in the same basket.    

Therefore, the family separation system was born just like that.    

The branch family must obey the orders of the head family unconditionally.    

Similarly, if the head of the head family was a silkpants who led the family to the wrong path, then the branch family had the right to resolve the chaos.    

The two of them balanced and competed with each other to ensure the revitalization of the family.    

Dugu Shou's branch family system was very effective. The reason why the Dugu family was able to occupy the position of the strongest family in Yanjing was because of the old master.    

"Father, you will be fine."    

Dugu Sheng sat by the bed and held the old master's hand. His eyes were full of sadness.    

"Yes, father, the doctor will be here soon. You will be fine."    

Dugu Xuan also had a worried expression.    

As the younger brother of the Dugu family's patriarch and the patriarch of the branch family, he couldn't go forward. He could only stand behind the patriarch of the Dugu family, not daring to overstep his boundaries.    

The old man's system was very good, it could ensure the liveliness of the family. However, behind this, there were countless blade lights and sword shadows, fighting in the open and in the dark, destroying each other's flesh and bones.    

"Is Ba Er... here yet?"    

The old man said with difficulty.    

"He's already on his way back. He should be here soon!"    

Just as he finished speaking, anxious shouts came from outside, "Grandfather... Grandfather..."    

Before he arrived, his voice could be heard.    

Everyone turned around and looked. Who else could it be if it wasn't Dugu Ba!    

Dugu Ba's expression was anxious and his eyes were red. He ran to the side of the bed and knelt on the ground with a thud.    

"Grandpa, I'm sorry, Ba'er came late!"    

As soon as he finished his words, the tears in his eyes were left. Everyone was touched when they saw this. The relationship between the grandfather and the grandson was really deep.    

He wanted to step forward, but because of the rules, he only dared to kneel behind Dugu Sheng.    

At this time, Dugu Xuan said, "Patriarch. Dugu Xuan boldly begged Ba'er to come forward and show his filial piety! "    

He took a step back and bowed toward Dugu Sheng.    

As soon as he finished speaking, the others in the room echoed him, "I beg the patriarch to let Dugu Ba come forward and show his filial piety!"    

"You all..."    

Yang Cheng, who was standing at the side, was about to berate them, but was stopped by Dugu Sheng's gaze.    

He understood Dugu Xuan and the others' wild ambitions too well. He hated the fact that the young master was framed by a thief and imprisoned. The resentment between the young master and the old master had yet to be resolved, otherwise, what would happen to Dugu Ba?    

"But!"    

Dugu Sheng took a step to the side. Dugu Ba was overjoyed and quickly thanked him. "Thank you, Family Head, thank you, Family Head!"    

This was the strict rule of Dugu family. Even if Dugu Sheng was his uncle, he could only respectfully address him as Family Head!    

Dugu Ba knelt beside the bed and held the old man's hand. "Grandfather... Grandson has come to see you. You will definitely be fine... You said that you want to see me get married and have children, and also help me take care of my great-grandson... "    

The old man weakly patted Dugu Ba and said with a gratified expression, "With so many grandsons, you are the most obedient and filial! Grandfather is old. I can't... You have to assist your big uncle and your cousin well. Let the Dugu family grow stronger..."    

"Cough cough..."    

The old man had said so much in one breath, and he started coughing violently.    

"Grandpa... are you alright..."    

Dugu Ba rushed forward to help him breathe, but he was extremely angry in his heart.    

"You old bastard, I am so filial to you, and you still want to put me down before you die. I am not convinced, I am not willing!"    

Dugu Ba roared in his heart, "According to the rules of the family, the son of a branch family can also compete for the position of the successor of the family head. Why do you want me to assist a bastard?"    

Dugu Xuan's expression changed slightly, but he covered it up very well and did not reveal anything.    

The branch family members behind him did not have such good breathing skills. Their expressions were either surprised or frowning.    

What did the old man mean by this?    

Was this considered a funeral?    

After taking a sip of warm water, not only did the old man not recover, he even coughed even more fiercely, and even began to cough out blood.    

"Doctor, come quickly, doctor..."    

Dugu Ba roared hoarsely. A doctor rushed with two nurses.    

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't block it, let the air flow!"    

After a series of resuscitation, the old man let out a long breath and suddenly became alert.    

"I feel much better!"    

Even his voice became much louder. Everyone knew that this was the last moment of the old man's life!    

"Dugu Sheng, I will leave the Dugu family to you. You must not disappoint me."
