Chapter 858 Husband and wife talk at night

Half an hour later, everyone dispersed.

After Angus and Weilin met up with Alyssa and the others, they went to the palace in the west part of the royal palace for rest.

In the side hall, Weilin waved his hand to let all the maids in the hall leave, then he came to the bed and lay down directly on it.

Xuemiya came around and set up some restrictions to prevent others from peeping and disturbing her.

After doing all this, Xuemiya came to the bed, sat next to Weilin, and asked, "How does it feel to fight with your father?"

Weilin put his hands behind his head, squinted his eyes and looked at the ceiling, and slowly answered: "I feel that my father has not worked hard in recent years. He has been standing still and has not made any progress. After a while, I have to go to my grandfather and ask him to visit my father more often to give him some pressure and motivation."

After hearing this, Xuemiya covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "Pressure brings motivation. You really understand this very well."

There was a cunning gleam in his eyes, as if he was teasing Weilin.

"You said that, not me."

Weilin smiled slightly, reached out and grabbed Xuemia, and gently pulled her against him.

Xuemiya struggled symbolically, then obediently lay on Weilin, put her head on his chest, listened to the sound of his heartbeat, and asked softly: "How long do you think it will take for my eldest brother to inherit our father's position?"

There was a hint of curiosity and anticipation in his tone.

Weilin stroked Xuemiya's silver hair and answered, "It's hard to say. When my grandfather forced my father to inherit the title of Earl of Eagle, my father dragged it out for more than ten years on the grounds that he had no children."

"If my eldest brother follows suit, my father will probably have to work for another ten years."

Xuemiya put her hand on Weilin's shoulder and whispered, "It seems so. Back then, this matter spread widely, making other family heirs very envious and eager to take his place."

"It's just that the family heritage is different. Compared to other earl families and marquis families, the heir of the Eagle Earl needs to go to the branch to study and get the approval of the branch's leader before entering the next stage."

"After obtaining the approval of the branch leader, the branch heir needs to swear allegiance to the ancestor in front of the plaque."

Xuemiya raised her head and looked at her husband with a hint of doubt in her eyes. She asked curiously, "Is it similar to the oath of allegiance of the guardian knights?"

"It's a little different." Weilin sat up, stretched out his arms to hug Xuemiya, and explained with a smile, "This oath of allegiance is not carried out in the temple of the gods, but in front of all the powerful people of the gold rank and above in the branch."

"After hundreds of years of evolution, this oath system has three most essential provisions."

"First, under special circumstances, the clan leader can bypass the branch leader and directly mobilize the army under his command."

"Secondly, changing the successor of the branch leader requires the approval of the clan leader."

"Third, when the clan leader is incompetent, as long as half of the branch leaders agree, he can be forcibly removed and a new Eagle Earl can be selected."

"However, generally only the first and second situations have occurred, and the third situation has never occurred. After all, under this selection system, it is difficult to produce mediocre people."

After hearing Weilin's explanation, Xuemiya fell into deep thought.

As an outsider, she only knew that the Aix family was very united and that the heirs of the main line had a tradition of learning under the leaders of the branch line. She did not know much about the deeper reasons behind this.

"By the way, doesn't this mean that you will have to teach eldest brother's children in the future?" Xuemiya looked at Weilin and asked.

Seeing this, Weilin chuckled and said, "Now that I have become an earl, I will be a new branch of the family. Of course, I have to teach the next generation of Eagle Earl heirs."

Hearing this, Xuemiya tried hard to recall that her husband had many instincts, but his greatest ability was laziness.

Weilin tapped Xuemiya's head and asked curiously, "What are you thinking about?"

Seeing this, Xuemiya smiled gently and said nothing.

Seeing his wife's expression, Weilin knew without a doubt that it was definitely not good, but it didn't matter, there were only a few possibilities anyway.

"However, I feel that given Big Brother's personality, he will most likely take the initiative to take over the title of Marquis of Eagle."

"why is that?"

Xuemiya was confused. Why were these words so contradictory? Could it be that her elder brother was not as simple as he seemed?

Looking at his wife whose curiosity was aroused, Weilin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, leaned close to her ear and whispered something.

The next moment, Xuemiya's face turned red, which was unusual for her. She glared at Weiyi fiercely and muttered softly, "You are so unruly every day."

"I'll tell you if you promise."

After hearing this, Xuemiya hesitated for a while, and finally nodded, agreeing to her husband's request.

Seeing this, Weilin did not keep the secret and explained: "Don't be fooled by the fact that Big Brother looks cheerful all day long. In fact, this is just his appearance."

"He is a complicated person. He values ​​family ties very much, but he is also dissatisfied with some of the existing family systems and wants to change them. However, change means shaking up the old interests."

"Once confrontation is triggered, it may lead to internal friction."

Xuemiya asked with a hint of shock in her eyes, "Does father know about this?"

"He must have known, but since he didn't choose to intervene, he acquiesced." Weilin replied, "Even though I contradict my father every day, he doesn't get angry at all. This is all due to my own achievements."

"In other words, if my second sister, third sister and fourth brother were like me, they would have been hung up and beaten long ago, and after being beaten, they would have to kneel in front of the ancestral tablets for three days and three nights."

Xuemiya lowered her head and whispered, "Just like how my father treats my second sister."

"You have to know that my father has always been a clan leader, and then a father. In his heart, the interests of the family are always put first. Maybe only my mother can put interests before her own. As for his offspring, he will be very tolerant of those who are capable. If they are not capable, they must listen to him."

Xuemiya touched her belly, stared at Weilin, and asked in a deep voice: "Will you be like this in the future?"

"Who do you think I am?"

Looking at the smile on Weilin's face, Xuemiya suddenly realized that her husband knew best what kind of person he was. In his heart, family and friends came first, and interests were often put behind. Otherwise, he would not have the reputation of being kind and approachable.

"It's getting late, it's time to rest." Weilin stopped the topic, said with a smile, and then lay down on the bed.

Seeing this, Xuemia went forward to take off her husband's clothes and hung them on the coat rack. Then she took off her coat, lay down beside him, waved her hand to extinguish the magic lamp, and slowly fell asleep.
