Chapter 662: Giving Up 1

When the Tribe Chief arrived, he glanced at the mansion.

This mansion was granted by the King when Duke North made the contribution, but he did not stay here long before he sacrificed himself on the battlefield.

Mrs. Duke North spent more than a decade at this mansion with the young Zheng Chenyi.

During the past decade, they had been fed on the money given by the court each year, and the mansion might look grand from outside, but it was actually quite shabby within.

The Tribe Chief did not feel that in the past, but when he walked in and saw what was inside, he shook his head slightly, thinking that it was a shabby place. He thought that when Yunfan moved in, the whole mansion would look totally different.

The Zheng Family should not continue to be like this.

Duke North was in a high position before, but he was already gone. Mrs. Duke North was just a woman without any long-term vision. She never thought about boosting the Zheng Family, but kept thinking about how to get the position of her own. The rank should be given to someone with competence. Only in this way will the whole family be boosted and become one of the major families in the capital!

As the Tribe Chief thought about this, he felt slightly angry. He looked at Zheng Chenyi and asked. “How is your health, Chenyi?”

Zheng Chenyi nodded.

“I am good, and Lady Chaoyan is a very good doctor and she has helped me recover fast.” Zheng Chenyi replied.

He did not believe that the Tribe Chief was caring about his health.

When he came out of the court, a couple of members from the family took a look at him before leaving. They were just checking if he was disabled or not. They were never concerned for real. So when they suddenly asked him about his health today… How could they be concerned?

Zheng Chenyi shook his head slightly. He did not say anything unless the Tribe Chief asked him.

During the past few years, he realized that he was far away from the clan and the clan would not show any concern for them. That was why he felt so alert inwardly.

The Tribe Chief was displeased. He was the Tribe Chief of the Zheng Family and even Zheng Yunfan was looking at him with a flattering look.

Zheng Chenyi had never been liked by him.

He said coldly, “I am here today to talk with you.

“We all know that you have been injured this year, seriously injured, and it seems that you can’t practise martial arts or lead the army ever again. So I think you should give up the rank.

“If you do, the King would definitely pick another person from the family to inherit the rank, and Zheng Yunfan, the Eldest Brother, should take it.

“Of course, you and your mother would not need to worry about anything. When Yunfan takes the rank, he will definitely take care of you and your mother. If Yunfan takes over the rank, he and the mansion would have a better future and you and your mother would not suffer at all.”

The Tribe Chief felt that he had promised him plenty of things.

Zheng Chenyi was a man brought up by a woman and would never do anything. It would be a waste of the rank even if he took it. Just see how they spent the past years! They had made no achievements.

Tribe Chief thought inwardly.

Zheng Chenyi shook his head. “That is impossible. Duke North was my father and I am the rightful heir to the rank!”

“Honestly, Chenyi…” Zheng Yunfan, who had been silent the entire time, spoke too..
