The top gentry in modern society is actually no different from the imperial nobility in feudal society.
The operating mechanism within each family is exactly the same as the royal family of a feudal dynasty.
Within such a special environment, what determines status is not age or seniority, but title and power.
Before the crown prince was elected, the sons of the emperors were, in principle, equal to each other, with only slight differences due to the difference between the eldest and youngest.
However, even the eldest son is only the older brother of the other princes, but is still of the same generation as the other princes, and it is impossible for the other princes to bow down three times when they see him.
However, once someone becomes the crown prince and inherits the throne, all the other sons, whether they are his brother or his younger brother, will have to perform the rituals of a ruler and subject and obey his orders completely.
This is the difference between a ruler and a subject.
Put in the current Su Zhi in the same Situation.
The current Su Zhi Fei is her brother from the same mother.
But once Su Zhiyu inherited the Su family, Su Zhifei was her vassal and had to do everything at her beck and call.
Even Su Shoudao, the father of the two, was the same.
Therefore, although Ye Chen left Su Shoudao and Su Zhifei's father and son alive, he had to wait until Su Zhiyue inherited the Su family before he would let them go free.
Because he believed in his own vision, Su Zhiyu was different from the rest of the Su family, and would never do anything that would avenge herself, so as long as she was in charge of the Su family, he would not have to worry about what Su Shoudao and Su Zhifei could play.
Su Zhiyu also understood Ye Chen's intentions.
Therefore, at this moment, the gratitude she felt for Ye Chen in her heart was further sublimated.
Ye Chen said to her at this time: ''The pressure on Su Chengfeng should have been almost unbearable, and what you need to do next is to gradually get him to release more power and resources to you, and gradually increase your voice in the Su family.
Su Zhiyu said:" Grandpa is definitely very dissatisfied with me now, and I think he will definitely be wary of me at every turn in the future
So what?'' Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, "In my opinion, his core demands at the moment are two in total, one is that he doesn't want to hand over power, and the other is that he doesn't want the Su family to split or go downhill."
"To put it bluntly, the former is that he wants to ensure that his power in the Su family is not threatened in any way while he is alive, and the latter is that he wants the rivalry that he has fought so hard to achieve to continue to be passed on after his death."
Although he certainly had many grievances against you in his heart, if you consider the future of the Su family, he could not have found a better successor than you.
