No matter how the calculations of Uncle's Mansion turn out, once the royal decree is in hand, it only means accepting fate.
On the second day after Uncle Loyalist entered the palace, he took the family genealogy and removed Wan Yongping's name from the seventh branch, replacing it with Wan Yicheng's name in the fourth branch, under the name of Duke Cheng'en's grandson Wang Zetong.
As soon as the sacrifice was over, an Angel arrived at Uncle Loyalist's residence to proclaim the decree, appointing Wan Yicheng to inherit the marquis title, being conferred the title of Third Class Duke Cheng'en, and to take charge of the Duke Cheng'en Mansion.
Uncle Loyalist knelt behind the newly appointed Duke Cheng'en, tears streaming down his face.
The dust had settled on the adoption, and years of planning turned out to be a dream.
Alas, woe is me.
He had to cry, or all this frustration would never dissipate.
