Everyone in the Nalan Family knew the elder's temper. Once he decided the first grandson was paramount, then the first grandson would undoubtedly inherit everything from the family, and nothing would change that.

Even though the entire family knew Nalan Tianyu was a good-for-nothing, it did not alter his inevitable fate as the heir. This was why Nalan Tianyu was so arrogant in the Nalan Family, untamed by anyone. Not even the elder uncle had much authority over him in Nalan Tianyu's eyes.
