“His actions obviously caused an uproar.”
Sister Mei shook her head repeatedly. “If you were the eldest daughter, would you be able to tolerate your own daughter being adopted by your sister and still be willing to split the family property that originally belonged to you?”
Su Yanyun pondered for a moment.
Then, she replied rationally. “If what you said is true, Sister Mei, then Old Master’s actions are naturally biased. But I think that as the head of a large family, Old Master definitely has his own considerations in everything he does. He probably has his own reasons for doing this.”
“The reason should be that he’s more biased towards Second Miss. Furthermore, Second Miss is aloof from the world and has a better relationship with Madam.” Sister Mei explained. “But us servants are all unworthy of Eldest Miss. Eldest Miss is very capable and domineering. She has always helped Old Master manage the family’s business. Thus, in the end, before Old Master passed on, a battle for property erupted between Eldest Miss and Second Miss.”
“Ah...” Su Yanyun was shocked. “I heard my husband mention this before. He said that it was a war between the main branch and the other branches.”
“Your husband isn’t from the An family. Maybe it’s just hearsay.” Sister Mei pouted unhappily. “The main and side branches are indeed involved in the fight for property. Everyone is divided into two camps. Some support the eldest daughter, and some support the second daughter.”
“Which side does An Bufang support?” Su Yanyun interrupted.
“An Bufang?” Sister Mei thought for a long time before remembering this person. She couldn’t be blamed for accompanying Old Madam on the island all year round. She didn’t even remember many people from the side family.
“I remember that An Bufang stood on Eldest Miss’ side. After Young Master Chen seized power, she also received a share.”
Su Yanyun frowned.
No wonder An Bufang was so arrogant and dared to interfere with Sister and Chenglong’s relationship time and time again. It turned out that she had An Mingchen’s support.
“Actually, when it comes to snatching the property, the biggest victim is still Ms. Zhengzheng.” Sister Mei said with emotion. “You probably don’t know how muddle-headed Old Master was at that time. Because Ms. Zhengzheng and Second Miss were on good terms, Old Master not only adopted Ms. Zhengzheng to Second Miss, he even made Ms. Zhengzheng the first heir and handed the family’s seal to her.”
“This method directly ignited the conflict between Young Master Chen and Ms. Zhengzheng. The siblings originally had a good relationship, but because of this matter, they became distant. Ms. Zhengzheng insisted on being on the same side as Second Miss. Young Master Chen even threatened her that if she didn’t return to his and Eldest Miss’s side, he would cut ties with her.”
“She didn’t go back in the end, right?” Su Yanyun asked softly.
Sister Mei shook her head. “No, Ms. Zhengzheng is a very opinionated person. She was only eight years old at that time and had to abide by Old Master’s will. Madam was also standing behind her. Young Master Chen was very angry with Ms. Zhengzheng’s actions, so he kidnapped Ms. Zhengzheng...”
Sister Mei’s explanation was completely different from An Mingchen’s.
After hearing Sister Mei’s story, Su Yanyun felt even more dizzy.
She was beginning to be uncertain if the feelings An Mingchen showed for “Zhengzheng” were really because of their sibling relationship.
Or was it because Zhengzheng was holding the An family’s seal and he wanted to snatch it back?
Sister Mei had said that because of the lack of a seal, the Eldest Young Master had never been able to take back the power in Old Madam’s hands. Now, half of the An family’s power was still firmly in Madam’s hands.
