Think back to when the Bai family was bullied by the Bai Clan, each of them was filled with anger, lamenting how a family of loyal ministers and good generals... had all the men die for the country and the people, yet ended up in such a predicament.
However, almost every clan had such rules, claiming that women could not inherit the family business. If there were no sons in the family... either the family assets were handed over to the clan, or a son from a relative's family was adopted to continue the lineage.
