C1088 Fan Lians Secret (1/2)
First Class Duke, fourth class of the Six Jue Eighteen, a high class aristocrat that was only second to the Third Class Duke. Originally, Fan Lian had closed his eyes to rest, but upon hearing this sentence, his eyes immediately shot out rays of light.
Beside Fan Lian, his own older brother, Fan Ru, was also trembling with a face full of stupidity as he kept mumbling to himself, ”First Young Master? How could it be a first-class official!? ”Impossible, impossible …”
”I've worked hard my whole life, trying my best to make sure that Fan family could return to the soldier's clan. I almost gave up my life in exchange for the five Elementary Scholars and one High Scholar spot …” For the sake of the position of the Royal Merchant, I am almost bankrupt! ”
”But …” But Second Brother, this branch family member, actually became a noble? Or was he a first-rate official … I refuse to accept this! ”
Fan Ru, who was already in his seventies, was already muddle-headed. His greed for the position of official for his entire life had already deceived him, and jealousy was biting at his heart like a viper.
That little brother of his was clearly inferior to him in every aspect, but his life was coming to an end. Why did the second brother's family actually get a title of nobility?! And it was f * cking first duke, just a step away from Wang Jue.
”Hahaha …” Did you see that? This was a form of selfishness! Xiao Letian was plotting against others... He had bestowed a duke to his father-in-law! Even higher than you generals! ”Are you convinced …”
”He is a smelly merchant! A merchant could be conferred a title? Hahaha … Bestowal of a duke! Xiao Letian, you are finished. Your decision will cause everyone to turn their backs on you, and they will not submit to you! Sooner or later they will betray you! ”
Fan Ru was mad, he was completely mad, white foam came out from the corner of his mouth, his entire body releasing the aura of a fool and the scent of death, mixed together.
Fan Lian frowned and turned to the servant behind him and said a few words, and very quickly, a large lit smoke gun was brought over. Two servants walked to Fan Ru's side, and forcefully pressed him down on the chair, then brought the smoke gun to his mouth.
Fan Ru snatched the big cigarette gun and smoked greedily, very quickly his hysteria was alleviated.
”Sorry, but my brother violated the Prime Minister's ban. I will send him back to his hometown as soon as possible... ”He's old, he won't live for more than a few years. All his life, he has been deeply devoted to making a name for himself, making him completely stupid!”
”Let this large piece of tobacco paste accompany him for the last few years of his life!”
At this moment, no one dared to criticize Fan Lian for hiding opium. Honestly speaking, no one other than Wang Jue had the qualifications to criticize old shopkeeper.
Fan Lian caressed Xiao Letian's face and laughed, ”You said that we are your patrons? Aren't you our benefactor as well... Because with you here, that person and I experienced a completely new way of life before we died.
”We did not support you because of your status as a noble. From the very beginning, we never thought that you could go so far! In my eyes, you will forever be that kid wearing weird leather clothes, that little hoodlum jumping and cursing in Mountain Temple, that little bastard who tricked my daughter! ”
Xiao Letian blushed a little at being lectured, ”This is already something from the past, what's the point of mentioning him!”
”I can't accept your title. It's not because I'm lucky, but because these are my heartfelt words! That person will not accept your title. Can I still accept it? ”
