Chapter 455 Strike While the Iron is Hot
Strike while the iron is hot.
Shan Li didn't give Qi any chance to think about it. He just wanted to make it look good.
There is one and only one real choice.
The next day, everyone in the mansion began to work on the division of the family property.
Some were counting the inventory, some were checking the accounts, some were packing up, some were helping to move the furniture, and some were responsible for cleaning the new house. Suddenly, the whole general's mansion was full of activity.
It's easier to get things done when there are more people.
The entire separation and moving process was completed in less than half a month.
All the things in the second room, except those that could not be taken away, were moved to the new house.
Of course, Shan Yu's 128 loads of dowry were also moved to the new house.
Because the previous family dinner was not pleasant, before Qi and his family left, the old lady deliberately canceled the family dinner. They didn't even have the family division meal. They just let Shan Li symbolically share a piece of meat.
This means that the two branches of the General’s Mansion are completely separated.
From now on, Shan Su and Shan Li are truly two families.
Such a big thing in the general's mansion naturally cannot be concealed.
However, outsiders only knew that the family split up, but the reason for the split was not mentioned to the public.
In other words, the elders of the clan know the specific reasons.
Other families treated this matter as a pastime after dinner. The people who really cared about this matter were the Lu family.
The mistress of the Lu family, Lu Gao, looked unhappy. She had originally agreed to the marriage with the Shan family for the sake of the general. However, after the marriage was decided, the family actually split up.
It made them very embarrassed.
Does this really count as a marriage with the General's Mansion?
"Mother, now that things have come to this, it's useless to think about anything else. You should think carefully about how to arrange the marriage. It has to be done better now than before." Lu Xin's face showed no emotion.
But if you have known him for a long time, you can see at this time that he is suppressing his emotions.
For him, getting married is no less a choice in his career.
No matter how noble the Lu family's reputation was, that was several generations ago.
By the time of his generation, there was not much left for him from his ancestors, so he had to work hard on his own.
His current situation may seem prosperous, but in fact it is just a matter of time.
It is not easy to be a butcher for His Majesty the Emperor.
He is very impressive now, but that is just for show.
In fact, his foundation is very weak.
If one day, His Majesty the Emperor no longer needs his sword, then one can imagine what his fate will be.
So, his wife must be chosen carefully.
The candidate he originally had his eyes on was Shan Xi, the eldest daughter of the General’s Mansion.
The situation of the General's Mansion was similar to his in some ways. But the difference was that the General's Mansion had a stronger foundation than his. If the General's Mansion had the ability to protect itself, it would have the ability to protect him.
However, after asking someone, he learned that she had been seriously injured and was still recovering. Moreover, she had no plans to get married in the short term. So he had to settle for the second best and chose the second young lady, Shan Yu.
The marriage was arranged smoothly in a hurry.
But he never dreamed that such a change would happen before getting married.
This Shan Yu was separated from the General's Mansion.
She can no longer be called the second daughter of the General's Mansion. Instead, she should be called the eldest daughter of the Shan family.
Don't think it's just a change of name.
There are so many tricks involved.
However, now that things have come to this, he can't change anything.
You can't let them separate the family, and you can't show any dissatisfaction or have any thoughts of breaking off the engagement at this time.
