Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 211: Chapter 205: The Lady is Pregnant!

Quickly, three days passed, and Yang Zhenshan first received a reply from Zhou Lan, who was also very surprised about this.

She had not received any information beforehand and was unclear as to why Liang Chu was doing this, but she speculated that it might be related to the situation in the Capital City.

According to her, the struggle within the court was severe, with the heart of the struggle being the imperial succession.

Emperor Chengping was getting on in years and his health was in decline; it’s feared that he does not have many years left. Emperor Chengping had many sons, and among his adult princes, at least seven were quite influential, aside from the Crown Prince. The Third Prince, the Fifth Prince, and the Sixth Prince all held significant force within the court.

The struggle between the Crown Prince and these three princes had become increasingly fierce. As the General of Chongshan Town and in control of tens of thousands of elite troops, Marquis Changping naturally became a target for alliances by various forces.

According to Zhou Lan’s guess, it’s very likely that someone wanted to rope in Liang Chu through a marital alliance, and Liang Chu probably did not wish to comply, hence seeking a marriage for Third Young Master Liang within Chongshan Town.

This was merely her speculation. For specifics, she would inquire with Duke Ning Mansion and it would take a few more days before she could update Yang Zhenshan.

After reading Zhou Lan’s letter, Yang Zhenshan’s brow furrowed deeply.

Damn, such a little thing, and it actually involves a struggle for the throne.

As a modern person, he was naturally well aware of the cruelty of the struggle for the throne; getting involved in it could lead to the destruction of one’s family at any time.
