After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 300 The Divide Between Grandparents and Grandchildren
Now they're saying they want to bypass their father and groom him as their eldest grandson.

As a result, their home was almost destroyed, their property was confiscated, and they became destitute.

What else is worth inheriting?
Should we let him inherit a joke?!
Zhang Shen was filled with resentment, but he managed to suppress it and pretended to be a filial son and grandson who cared about his family and worried about his father.

"There's nothing to worry about at home for now."

The old patriarch patted Zhang Shen's shoulder gently: "Your father is also doing well."

She seemed somewhat dissatisfied: "Didn't I just tell you that there are many grievances among the people? Even if His Majesty favors me and wants to be biased towards me, he still has to take into account the people's sentiments and give them a reasonable explanation, even if it's just for show."

"That's why it was just a formality."

"After calming the people down under the cover of night and making it seem like we were giving them an explanation, we were all quickly sent home."

"But since His Majesty has given us face, we cannot disregard His Majesty's feelings."

"In the future, we will be reluctant to give up our low profile and remain in seclusion."

The old patriarch Zhang seemed displeased, with a hint of reprimand in his expression.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shen felt much more relaxed.

But I wasn't completely at ease.

He pondered the meaning behind his grandfather's words repeatedly.

Did the Zhang family ultimately fall from grace?
If he becomes the heir now, what tangible benefits can he possibly gain?

"...Grandson naturally believes in grandfather, and grandfather is right. Since ancient times, those who stick their necks out have never been the ones to do so."

"A tall tree catches the wind, and the nail that sticks out gets hammered down. It seems that our Zhang family has been having a lot of bad luck lately because we have been envied."

"But has Grandfather asked how long we'll be keeping a low profile?"

"Let's hope it doesn't go on forever."

"Wouldn't that mean we've been completely fooled?"

Zhang Shen voiced his concerns.

The old patriarch glared at the man, as if looking at a hopeless piece of trash. What a shallow-minded fool!
He took a deep breath, suppressing the frustration in his heart.

That's it!

The eldest son wasn't particularly outstanding to begin with, so what good could his offspring possibly be?
That is, Zhang Tian, ​​who seems to have the potential to produce good bamboo shoots from bad bamboo.

pity……

He is a cruel and ruthless person.

"How long will they lie low and keep a low profile? Who knows?"

The old patriarch Zhang sneered: "The affairs of the court are ever-changing. With interests intertwined, if there is no contact for a period of time, or if they are no longer of use, the relationship will naturally become distant."

"The fact that they haven't taken advantage of our misfortune is already a great concession on our part."

"What else do you want?"

"Even if you want to make a comeback, you have to wait until everyone forgets about this incident, and then do something that everyone praises to cover up your mistakes with good deeds."

Does that mean there's no chance of a comeback and a resurgence?

Zhang Shen's expression immediately turned sour again.

A sudden surge of resentment welled up in his heart. Was this old man Deng just here to make empty promises to him?

What use is it for someone to become the heir to a family that has no future?

They have neither money nor power.

Isn't that just an empty shell with a name but no substance?

"I know you are restless and impatient. I'm afraid you would be very unwilling to stay quietly behind the scenes and not show your face."

The old patriarch Zhang sneered, as if he had seen through Zhang Shen's thoughts, and bluntly pointed out: "Originally, I was thinking that since you are not suitable to show your face in public now, you might as well take over some of the family's shady businesses."

He glanced at Zhang Shen: "But now it seems to me that you're not entirely willing either."
