Chapter 401: Chapter 401 Rong Family’s Family Rules 2

Or else all his wives and concubines would snatch it all up, and his multitude of young children would get nothing.

So, he gathered everyone in the family and set a family rule in front of them.

The wealth of the Rong Family could only be inherited by the direct descendants of the Rong Family, neither wives nor concubines, nor collateral relatives, could inherit it.

Only if there were no direct descendants left could the wealth be distributed evenly among others.

However, once the direct descendants of the Rong Family had inherited the wealth, they were obliged to support the women in the family who had lost their husbands and had no sons, and they were not allowed to neglect or drive them away.

After establishing the rules, he had everyone present swear a venomous oath not to breach them.

And he made it the first rule of the Rong Family, demanding that all future generations of the family must comply with it.

If someone broke the oath, other members of the family had the right to expel the person from the Rong Family, leaving them with nothing.

The Rong Family had always been large and prosperous with many members, naturally leading to mutual supervision and ensuring that this family rule would continue indefinitely.

Although the Rong Family had fallen into decline at one point, Shaoze’s grandfather had revived it, and the family rule remained in effect.

When I married into the Rong Family, I signed an agreement that, no matter what happened, as long as there were direct descendants of the Rong Family, I could not inherit the wealth.

Even if there were no direct descendants left, I could not inherit it all and would have to share evenly with other collateral members of the Rong Family.

That’s why all of Shaoze’s wealth must be passed on to Rong Mingyan.

Now Shaoze’s father has also passed away, and grandfather, as you see, is in poor health and probably won’t hold on much longer.

Once he passes away, wouldn’t all the wealth of the Rong Family belong to Rong Mingyan alone?"

Lin Xinlan listened, secretly shocked.

She hadn’t expected the Rong Family to have such a rule.

"Even though you are Rong Shaoze’s mother, you can’t own his wealth?" she asked incredulously.

Rong Shaoze’s mother shook her head, "No. The agreement I signed has legal force. Even if I don’t care about any family rule or oath, Shaoze’s wealth still can’t become mine."

Looking at Lin Xinlan, Rong Shaoze’s mother couldn’t help her eyes redden as she said in a low sob:

"If only that child had been saved... it’s all my fault, I switched your contraceptives on my own initiative but didn’t tell Shaoze, leading him to misunderstand and causing an irreversible tragedy. Is this situation now my retribution?"

Lin Xinlan remained silent, unsure what to say.

She too wanted to preserve Shaoze’s wealth, but she couldn’t risk Xiaocong’s safety.

Rong Mingyan had killed so many people just to monopolize the Rong Family’s fortune.

If he found out about Xiaocong’s existence, he would surely not spare Xiaocong either!

Lin Xinlan’s face turned pale, just the thought of it filled her with fear...

She simply couldn’t handle Rong Mingyan, and if he wanted to harm Xiaocong, how could she stop him?

No, she must not let him find out about Xiaocong’s existence, she couldn’t put her child in danger. As for the vast wealth of the Rong Family, let Rong Mingyan take it if he wants it.

She didn’t covet those things; what she wanted was for the people she cared about to live healthy lives.

Rong Shaoze’s mother was just too sad and too desperate, which greatly distressed her.

After finally taking care of her and getting her to sleep, Lin Xinlan quietly left the room.

Her mobile phone in her pocket started ringing. She pulled it out, saw it was Qiao Yiyang calling, and didn’t feel like answering.

He calls every day, doesn’t he ever get tired of it?
