Zhang.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But these two, even if tied together, are probably not as good as half of Liu Yan's ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This caused Liu Yan to delay in establishing a successor.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It's not that he doesn't want to establish one.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But the two sons left by his side are one more incompetent than the other!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He has no one to establish!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, when it came to this.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A solemnity suddenly appeared in Li Ru's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Immediately, he looked up at Old Dong and asked with a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"My Lord, unlike Liu Yan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"In your heart, you should have already decided who the successor is, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Asked by his own eldest son-in-law, Old Dong was stunned for a moment, then laughed:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Wenyou, how many years have you been with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Reporting to My Lord, nineteen years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Li Ru answered with a bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Nineteen years...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Still remember when Heng'er first saw you, he was shouting to ask me to hire you as a military advisor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Saying you have the talent to rule the world and can help me achieve a great cause.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Later, you not only became my confidant military advisor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"But also married my daughter as your wife.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"My Xiliang Army can grow to this day, and it cannot be separated from your contribution.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"But when it comes to the person with the deepest friendship with you, I am afraid it is not me, but Heng'er.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Everyone in the world knows that you, Li Wenyou, are my confidant military advisor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"But they don't know that the lord you truly serve in your heart is actually Heng'er.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If it weren't for Heng'er's passing, why would I always be so worried?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"With his ability, he should have surpassed me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dong Zhuo reminisced.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In his mind, the figure of his deceased eldest son Dong Heng slowly emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That young master who was pinned with high hopes by everyone in the Xiliang Army unfortunately passed away before Old Dong.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Li Ru was about to say something.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dong Zhuo waved his hand, interrupted him, and continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"After Heng'er passed away, he only left Bai Er, such a daughter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If Bai Er were a man, I would definitely let her become the successor of my Xiliang Army.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"But unfortunately, she is not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"But fortunately, I found a very good granddaughter's husband.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If one day I am no longer here, Wenyou, will you continue to assist Lin Zhi?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Speaking of this, Old Dong is equivalent to implicitly admitting that he intends to establish Gu Yi as the successor of the Xiliang Army.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There are actually only three people Dong Zhuo can choose from.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One is Li Ru, one is Niu Fu, and one is Gu Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Li Ru has no offspring, so naturally there is no possibility of inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Moreover, in Li Ru's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Old Dong's deceased eldest son Dong Heng is his close friend and confidant!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even for Dong Heng's sake, Li Ru will unconditionally take care of Dong Bai and support Dong Bai.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And supporting Dong Bai, isn't that equivalent to supporting Gu Yi?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As for Niu Fu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Before Gu Yi appeared, Old Dong did intend to establish him as his successor.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It's not that Old Dong had a problem with his eyes, but he really had no one to establish at that time!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Niu Fu is at least Old Dong's second son-in-law.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although he has no sons yet, he and Old Dong's second daughter Dong Yi are relatively young and still have room to continue striving to have sons.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But now.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Niu Fu's various behaviors have completely dispelled Old Dong's idea of establishing him as his successor.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Moreover.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gu Yi's appearance made Old Dong finally welcome his ideal successor.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Old Dong believes that the Xiliang Army in Gu Yi's hands will definitely be more brilliant than it is now.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And Li Ru's inquiry today is both testing Old Dong's intention and expressing his own stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As a confidant of Dong Bai's father Dong Heng, he will support Dong Bai and Gu Yi, and will not support Niu Fu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Now.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing Old Dong admit that he intends to establish Gu Yi as his successor.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The worry hanging in Li Ru's heart was finally put down.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ever since taking Ma Yunlu as a concubine, Gu Yi’s daily life had become much more colorful.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>During this month, Cai Zhenji had come to the Gu residence several times.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But strangely, she did not come to see Gu Yi, but rather Dong Bai.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even though the two had not known each other before, whenever Cai Zhenji left the Gu residence, she was always all smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gu Yi felt very curious about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Logically speaking, Dong Bai and Cai Zhenji were completely different types of people.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>How could they have suddenly gotten so close?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Carrying this trace of confusion,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gu Yi voiced the question in his heart to Dong Bai.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The latter gently covered her mouth and laughed:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Husband, what do you think of that little sister Cai?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If she were brought into the residence, the house would surely be much livelier in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this, Gu Yi finally realized what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dong Bai was planning to help him take another concubine.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was true; including Ma Yunlu, Gu Yi currently only had two concubines.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Gu Yi couldn't help but say:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Bai Er, this little sister Cai still has an older sister, Cai Zhaoji.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If she hasn't married yet, how could it be the little sister's turn?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this, Dong Bai smiled and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Husband, since taking one is taking one, and taking two is taking two, why not just bring Zhaoji into the residence as well!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Good things come in pairs, after all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Besides, I heard from Zhenji that her sister Zhaoji is a great scholar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If there are children in the residence in the future, we can have Zhaoji teach them all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That way, we won't have to worry about the children's education.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dong Bai had already calculated everything in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As Gu Yi’s legal wife, she naturally had to consider every aspect.\u003C\u002Fp>",1043,"2026-06-16T10:17:20.643Z","2026-06-17T08:53:02.455Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash
