Originally, this wasn't a significant issue. After all, throughout history, there has never been a rule that titles must be passed down to the eldest legitimate grandson. However, Pei Shurui deeply felt guilty.
Over the years, he has taken great care of his brother's widow and daughter. After the Old Duke passed away, he only separated the three illegitimate brothers from the family, while the main branch remained in the Duke Mansion, supported by the household, living independently in one courtyard.
Yet perhaps people are always insatiable. The orphaned mother and daughter, once anxious after losing their husband, gradually grew ambitious under Pei Shurui's years of generosity.
Especially since Pei Yuqing was born frail and stubbornly refused to marry these years, which further fueled their ambitions.
They hoped that the title could return to the main branch.
The words Xie Wanqing overheard when she entered the door just now came from Mrs. Zhao, the head lady of the Pei family.
