Lei Lifei could clearly see Luo Ning’s intentions.
He actually detested the Family Head’s Wife of the Luo Family, exuding a strong aura of a white lotus, and he certainly did not appreciate this type of woman.
It was she who had pressured Luo Yihan to marry him and cut ties with the woman he loved outside. That old woman was the driving force.
He was very much looking forward to seeing how Luo Ning would deal with Lady Luo.
“I will go, Lady Luo attends every exchange event.”
Lei Lifei thought for a moment and then continued to Luo Ning, “Lady Luo is from the Lou Family, but she doesn’t get along with Elder Lou Qi.”
Luo Ning felt he might have more to say, “What’s the story there?”
This content is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.
“Lady Luo is Elder Lou Qi’s cousin, and it was actually Elder Lou Qi who was supposed to marry Family Head Luo back then.”
“After the families agreed, just short of the dowry, who knew Family Head Luo would propose instead to marry Elder Lou Qi’s cousin.”
“Family Head Luo was a standout among his peers at the time, and as the heir to the Luo Family, it was impossible for the Lou Family to offend him over a woman.”
“So they switched the marriage contract to the current Lady Luo, and Elder Lou Qi was treated as a joke, laughed at by many who were once jealous and envious of her.”
“Because of this affair, Elder Lou Qi never married, and animosity formed between the two branches.”
“Whenever she sees Lady Luo, it’s guaranteed to be a direct clash.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Ranran immediately asked, “Will the Lou Family bring the Seventh Elder this time?”
Lei Lifei shook his head, “No, for exchanges where they might meet, the Lou Family would never bring the Seventh Elder.”
Luo Ranran frowned slightly, “What’s the story there?”
Although Elder Lou Qi was known for her fiery temper, she was also one of the few relatively upright people in the Lou Family.
Originally when she was designated the heir, Elder Lou Qi was one of the supporting elders.
In the Lou Family, Elder Lou Qi was also one of the few who were kinder to her, even showing a bit of pity.
She guessed that Elder Lou Qi must know about that affair.
Being a woman herself, the elder not only didn’t look down on or despise her but also showed her pity, which made her quite fond of the Seventh Elder.
Lei Lifei responded, “Once at an exchange event, Elder Lou Qi made Lady Luo cry, and in the end, Family Head Luo took the crying woman away, and flew into a rage.”
“Initially, there was cooperation between the Luo and Lou families, and Family Head Luo, perhaps out of anger or influenced by pillow talk, used Elder Lou Qi as an excuse and proposed to cancel the cooperation.”
“This cooperation was particularly important for the Lou Family, and their high-level members were also angry at Elder Lou Qi.”
“They took the initiative to sue for peace, and made it clear that they would keep Elder Lou Qi in check going forward, preventing her from appearing at such exchange events again.”
“Family Head Luo did not immediately agree, and the Lou Family then went to Lady Luo and convinced Family Head Luo through her to resume cooperation.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Ranran rolled her eyes, “That’s just playing good cop, bad cop. That old hag is certainly an old white lotus, and these intrigues must have been orchestrated by her.”
“No wonder she was able to snatch her cousin’s betrothed, such a formidable tactic indeed.”
Her dislike for Old Lady Luo had grown because of Luo Ning’s affairs, and now that resentment had intensified.
Luo Ning herself had not expected her “kind Grandma” to have such a past; after hearing it, her first impression was also that of the old white lotus.
Luo Ning realized something she had previously overlooked.
She looked at Lei Lifei and asked, “Uncle Lei, you said before that the heirs and Family Heads of the major families cannot marry women from outside, otherwise, they would face a united suppression and boycott.”
“So, does that mean if someone marries a woman from outside back to the island, they would basically have no chance of being the Family Head?”
Lei Lifei replied, “Yes, that’s why for so many years, the wives of the Family Heads from the major families have all been women from within their own families.”
Luo Ning then asked, “Then if my father insists on bringing my mother and us three daughters back to the island and recognizes my mother’s status as his wife, does it mean that my father will also lose his eligibility to inherit the position of the Family Head?”
“And if my father doesn’t inherit the position of the Family Head, would another heir have to be chosen from the other branches of the Luo Family?”
Lei Lifei chuckled, “You are indeed very clever.”
“That’s exactly the case, which is why Lady Luo is insisting on your father inheriting two branches, and when the child born is raised to become the heir.”
“After all, Family Head Luo isn’t really old now; living a few more decades is completely feasible, which allows time for that child to grow up.”
Luo Ranran couldn’t help asking, “Then why must he inherit two branches? Does the Luo Family have any rules allowing Uncle Luo to marry a daughter from another family?”
Lei Lifei replied, “No, from beginning to end, Lady Luo has proposed the idea of inheriting two branches.”
“Especially since Luo Ning’s father returned this time and settled down outside, Lady Luo has become even more adamant about him inheriting two branches.”
He looked at Luo Ning again and said, “She even compromised and proposed that as long as a child is born, she would allow your father to bring you three mother and daughters back to the island and afterward, not bother with him anymore.”
Luo Ning roughly guessed Old Lady Luo’s motive for doing this.
“She actually cares a lot about the power of the Luo Family and that’s why she would come up with such a sly move.”
“My father has quite a personality. Back in the day, he left home directly in opposition to her demands, and after returning, he would rather go to the Forbidden Land than listen to her.”
“So even if my father becomes the Family Head of the Luo Family in the future, she can’t make my father listen to her completely, her desire for control is too strong, and therefore she can’t accept this.”
“If my father inherits two branches and has a child with the woman she values as the primary wife, she can bring up the child, and later on, she will be able to influence the new Family Head.”
“Her goal is to raise an obedient grandson, which is why she insists on my father inheriting two branches.”
“The key is, my father and his elder brother were both once heirs to the Luo Family, and if the child born to my father and the senior wife is designated the next heir, the people of the Luo Family would naturally come to accept it.”
Many people in the Luo Family now support the idea of inheriting two branches, and Luo Ning suspects these people have been brainwashed a fair amount by Old Lady Luo and the Fake widow.
Regarding herself, a granddaughter who obviously wouldn’t be obedient, and also being a child that her father had outside, and on top of that, having left home in defiance of Old Lady Luo’s orders, it was no wonder Old Lady Luo disdained and disliked her.
Lei Lifei nodded, “That’s how your father and I analyzed it too.”
“That Fake widow probably also did a lot of instigation and brainwashing in front of Lady Luo.”
“I’ve heard from your father that Lady Luo really likes the Fake widow as her daughter-in-law, even more so than her own biological daughter.”
Luo Ning nodded, “I also think the Fake widow has played no small role.”
She asked, “Speaking of which, will the Fake widow also attend the exchange meeting?”
Lei Lifei replied, “She went to the last one and was continuously brought along by Lady Luo, which also signifies that she is highly regarded by the Luo Family.”
“Lady Luo has also delegated quite a lot of authority to the Fake widow, so she should probably go this time too, as this will help solidify and elevate her status in the hearts of the wives from the other major families.”
So he thought this exchange meeting would definitely be lively.
