On this day, Liang Yulin returned from the palace. He looked as if he was in a good mood.
“What made you so happy?” asked Kong Yuelan with a smile.
Liang Yulin smiled. “The leader of the Liang Family has returned from the royal temple. I have told him to let Hanzheng and his sister, as well as my precious grandchildren, be registered in the family tree. They will change their surname to Liang.”
He had originally agreed to change their surnames, but the head of the royal family was not in good health. He went to the royal temple to ask the abbot to help him recuperate before returning to the capital.
He ran off to catch them.
Actually, the Liang Family did not agree previously, but his royal brother did not object. In addition, he had been running to find a few old fellows to argue with them. Today, he finally relented.
Kong Yuelan stretched out her hand and tidied his clothes. “I’ll go ask Zheng’er and the others first. You’ve worked hard!”
She knew that her husband had spent a lot of effort recently to change the surnames of his children and had even given up some benefits. She was naturally touched and happy.
She was supportive of her children changing their surnames. It was not because she was greedy for the surname ‘Liang’ to be the imperial family’s surname. She simply did not want her children to be associated with Xiao Yuanshi and the top quality of the old Xiao Family.
Moreover, her husband had put in so much effort. She could not let his efforts go to waste.
Liang Yulin hugged her and kissed her. “Okay, go tell Zheng’er and the rest about this. I’ll go take a shower.”
This meant that they had to give up the space to them.
Kong Yuelan nodded and lifted her head to kiss him on the cheek. “Okay!”
At this moment, Xiao Hanzheng had just returned home and Xiao Hanyi had just finished school.
Kong Yuelan called the children over.
After they sat down, she told them what her husband had said. “What do you think?”
Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo looked at each other and said, “I have no objections. I promised Father before, so I naturally won’t go back on my word.” “I don’t have any objections either,” said Xiao Baili.
She now sincerely treated King Yi as her father, so she didn’t think there was anything wrong with changing her surname.
“I have no objections either,” Xiao Hanyi replied without hesitation.
He felt the true fatherly love from King Yi, his stepfather. He hated Xiao Yuanshi, his biological father, so he felt that changing his surname was pretty good.
If not for Xiao Yuanshi being their father, they would not have suffered so much.
He still remembered that when his elder brother was unconscious, the people of the Xiao Family came to snatch their food every day and even dragged his sister to be buried with the Wu Family.
He was also sent by his father’s little wife to cause him to fall into the water and almost die.
If it wasn’t for his sister-in-law, his family would have been ruined.
Therefore, he could not forgive the people of the Xiao Family and his scumbag father. After changing his surname, he would have nothing to do with those people. He had always hoped for this.
Kong Yuelan smiled. “Alright, then you can change your surname to Liang.”
This way, they would have nothing to do with the old Xiao Family and scumbag Xiao.
When Liang Yulin came back from his shower, he heard the answer.
His eyes were full of smiles. “Alright, alright, alright. We’re family after all. From now on, you’ll share my surname, and our relationship will be even closer.”
“Tomorrow, you will follow me to the Liang Family’s ancestral hall and register your names in the genealogy. Then, you will go to the government to change your surnames.”
Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said, “Alright. Thank you for your hard work, Dad!” Liang Yulin waved his hand. “It’s not hard. I’m very happy.”
Although he had his own blood, he still treated Xiao Hanzheng and his sister as his own children.
He had received news that Xiao Yuanshi had gone to the capital and was very annoyed by that person.
He was a protective person, so he naturally had to do his best to protect his loved ones.
He was also very narrow-minded. In the past, Xiao Yuanshi had bullied the woman he loved dearly and treated his beloved children coldly.
He had also found out a lot of things. If not for his daughter-in-law’s appearance and help, the Xiao Family might have been finished.
Therefore, he wanted to completely cut off the last bit of hope in Xiao Yuanshi’s heart.
After dinner, Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo went back to their rooms.
Xiao Hanzheng said, “I received the news today. My scumbag father will be in the capital tomorrow.”
Shi Qingluo was stunned. “What is he doing in the capital?”
Xiao Hanzheng said sarcastically, “He said he wanted to visit his grandson and granddaughter.”
Shi Qingluo knew that the scumbag father often had people draw portraits of the twins and send them back to Nanxi County to understand some of the situation.
This kind of thing didn’t matter. On the contrary, it would make the scumbag father regret and feel sad, so they didn’t stop it.
However, she did not expect the scumbag father to come to the capital.
“No wonder Father was in such a hurry to change your surnames in the family tree. He must have done it on purpose to anger him,” she said with a chuckle.
Xiao Hanzheng laughed. “Yes. Father is becoming more and more like an old child.”
“I heard that the Liang Family’s patriarch will only return to the capital in two days. He sent people to forcefully bring him to the capital today.”
The smile in his eyes deepened. “That’s why my scumbag father can catch up with us changing our surnames and enter the Liang Family’s genealogy.”
Not only was he not unhappy about his stepfather’s little thoughts, but he was also quite supportive.
His stepfather was narrow-minded, and he wasn’t.
In his previous life, because of his scumbag father, Ge Chunru, and the people from the Xiao Family, he had lost his biological mother, younger brother, and younger sister. Naturally, he would always remember this hatred.
The best revenge was to make the scumbag father suffer so much that he would die without any descendants.
Shi Qingluo also liked King Yi, this father-in-law. “That’s great. I just love seeing the scumbag father’s expression change and being in pain.”
“Did the old Xiao Family come along?” she asked.
In the past three years, the scumbag father had been asking around for news about them.
They had naturally received news about Nanxi County.
After the scumbag father returned to Nanxi County, he had set up quite a number of businesses and even wanted to adopt a stepson. However, they were all destroyed by the people of the Xiao Family.
The scumbag father’s legs were inconvenient, and Old Madam Xiao cried all day long, so she was the one in charge.
Because of this, not only did the scumbag father support the Xiao Family, but Old Madam Xiao also secretly took a lot of money to subsidize the other families.
After the scumbag father found out, he made a scene again.
In any case, the old Xiao Family was quite famous in Nanxi County now. They would cause a ruckus every ten days to half a month.
“No,” Xiao Hanzheng replied. “The scumbag father doesn’t want them to follow him.”
“Then, I found out that the old lady took advantage of the scumbag father’s visit to the capital to secretly transfer the shops owned by him to her two grandchildren.”
Shi Qingluo was a little confused. “How could she transfer the ownership?”
Xiao Hanzheng said, “She stole my scumbag father’s seal. So they wrote a transfer document and stamped it with his seal to the government.”
“Because everyone knows that the old lady is the head of Baron Xiao’s family now. Plus, the seal is real, so the government handled the transfer procedures.”
“It looked so smooth, but the old lady secretly transferred the hundreds of acres of land bought by the scumbag father to Xiao Dalang.”
He narrowed his eyes. “The third branch doesn’t know about this. I’ll get someone to pass this news to the third branch. When the time comes, the old Xiao Family will have something to watch.”
In his previous life, their family’s tragic state was not only due to their scumbag father, but also because of the old Xiao Family. Therefore, in this life, none of these people could escape..
