2199 Chapter 2198-witness complete
Splitting the family wasn’t based on the number of heads, but equally split.
The family business was divided into six parts, one for each of the four branches, and one for His Highness and his Princess.
The Wang Fu’s courtyard that they were living in now was naturally given to the second branch who inherited the title. The capital’s Donglin Prince’s Mansion was also the second branch’s, and the rest were equally divided.
Wangfei said that although Wangye had passed away, Wangye treated his only daughter bai bao Zhu like a Pearl. He often said that he would give all the good things to bai bao Zhu in the future. So, Wangye’s share was naturally given to bai bao Zhu.
As for the princess Consort herself, the princess Consort had said that according to the rules, she was supposed to follow her eldest son. However, now that her eldest daughter-in-law and eldest grandson-in-law were calling her ” wife ” and ” them, ” she would not live with them anymore and would live in the Wang Residence alone.
As for who she would give her things to after she died, she didn’t say. Anyway, it would depend on the attitude of your children.
Before the distribution of the assets, the princess Consort had moved out the things that her grandchildren should use for their marriage.
She asked the two girls of the third branch if they were willing to follow their mother back to their maternal home, or if they were willing to stay in the Wang Fu.
If they went to the Jiang family, all the property of the third branch, including all the marriage gifts prepared by the Prince’s Mansion, would follow them.
The two daughters of the third branch, Bai shishuang and Bai Shilu, were fifteen years old and only one year younger than Bai Shiying. They were already at the age to propose marriage. The other was only twelve years old and had been raised to be a little pushy. She replied softly, ” “Your granddaughter will listen to you, sister.”
Bai shishuang thought of his mother’s attitude towards the two sisters these few days and his heart turned cold.
Although they could only call their biological father second uncle in the future, at least their biological father was still alive.
Bai shishuang only hesitated for a moment before he said, ” “Grandmother, I’m from the Bai family. My surname is Bai. Father is gone, but we still have second uncle, fourth uncle, and grandmother to make decisions for us. So, my granddaughter and sister are willing to stay in the Bai family.”
Wangfei nodded in satisfaction,”mm, since you want to stay, then give your mother half of the third branch’s things and let her bring them back to her maternal family.” The other half will be split equally between you two sisters. Grandmother and the Empress Dowager have a friendship. In a few days, I’ll send a letter to ask the Empress Dowager to send two nannies to teach you how to manage the household. Remember, you must protect your own things well. Only those that are firmly held in your hands are considered yours. You two sisters must treasure this opportunity.”
Bai shishuang heaved a sigh of relief and nodded,”yes, I understand.” Thank you for your teachings, grandmother!”
Madam Jiang glanced at her two daughters with a complicated look in her eyes.
She was disgusted by the second Bai and the third Bai. No matter who the two daughters were with, she was disgusted.
However, it was her own child after all, so she still felt bad.
Half of the third branch’s assets, she could lead a good life if she took it away. These two children had half, and old taitai was willing to ask the palace’s old maidservants to teach them, so they would definitely be able to keep this half.
Thinking of this, Madam Jiang was determined to leave and didn’t say anything.
Bai Baozhu, as the one who was going to get a share of the Prince’s inheritance, also signed her name.
In the end, it was the princess Consort and Gu Xin who signed their names.
There were a total of seven portions. The princess Consort, Bai Baozhu, and the Bai family each kept one. Gu Xin also kept one for herself.
