"Yes, back then, the Dou family seized power and caused a huge commotion. Most of the people involved are no longer alive. Only Dou Tianyi's uncle's two sons were studying abroad at that time and were not in the country, so they escaped."
"I remember that when the Dou family changed hands, this uncle was the one who fought the most with Dou Tianyi."
"Yes, this uncle of Dou Tianyi's and Dou Tianyi's father are of two different lineages and are not close by blood. It's said that the only descendant of the Dou family died early due to illness, so he could only choose an heir from a side branch. At that time, the most promising candidates were Dou Tianyi's father and this uncle."
Huo Chenhuan raised his eyebrows. "In that case, Dou Tianyi isn't considered part of the main family's bloodline?"
"The Dou family doesn't pay much attention to this aspect. Compared to bloodlines, they value the capable more."
