All the benefits they had promised ended up going to waste!

Zhao Mu had held high hopes for his second son, but upon hearing Ms. Qin’s distressing cry, he couldn’t help but become concerned.

Both Zhao Mu and Ms. Qin had the same notion: if one of them had to stay overnight at the government office, it would be the eldest son who took on that duty, while the second son could attend court the following day.

Zhao Mu couldn’t help but direct some blame towards Ms. Qin. He hadn’t been present at the mansion the day before, so he wasn’t aware of the situation. Why had Ms. Qin allowed her son to undertake the task? She could have easily assigned it to her eldest son.

Ms. Qin, too, felt irritated by the turn of events.

They had both forgotten that they had initially believed the problem wouldn’t be easily resolved. They hadn’t anticipated that it would escalate to this point. Furthermore, as soon as Zhao Ye received the news, he rushed to the government office, determined to make some contributions.

Zhao Zhai couldn’t contain his anger when he heard the story.

Why was he the only one to foresee such trouble? He never expected to be mistreated in this manner.

Despite all being sons of concubines, they were no nobler than one another.

However, no matter how vehemently Zhao Zhai protested, it had no effect on his parents. Zhao Mu was in charge, and his word was final. Beyond receiving a scolding, Zhao Zhai’s resistance couldn’t alter the situation.

It was clear to him that his father had little regard for his unfortunate status as a lineal son. Loyalty seemed to be a one-way street.

Being the lineal son, he had his mother to strategize for him, and his grandparents had left him with a substantial inheritance of properties and faithful servants.

In contrast, he had nothing!

They couldn’t even manage a small fraction of the family’s assets.

With no other options, Zhao Zhai found himself at the governmental office, accompanied by the housekeeper, replacing Zhao Ye.

For the governmental office, as long as both the plaintiff and the defendant were present, it didn’t matter which of them was in custody. If the Zhao Family intended to change the plaintiff, they would have to save face for the Zhao Family.

Zhao Zhai couldn’t hide his relief upon seeing Zhao Ye at the office. He exchanged a few polite words and promptly left with the housekeeper. His frustration towards his brother was so intense that he felt like tearing him apart.

What kind of brother was this?

In front of their parents, he had pretended to support Zhao Zhai, encouraging him to seize the benefits, only to burden him in the end!

Deceptive! Cowardly!

How irresponsible!

Zhao Zhai wondered if his parents were blind to have been deceived by his brother and continued to defend him, despite his cruelty towards him.

One day, he vowed to strip away his brother’s pretentious facade and trample him underfoot.

Word soon reached Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan about the Zhao Family changing the plaintiff.

Qiao Xuan smiled and remarked, “It appears that the departure of Young Master Zhao has fractured the family’s unity. It seems they won’t be true brothers anymore.”

Shao Yunduan agreed, saying, “That’s excellent. Let’s fan the flames a bit and enjoy the spectacle.”

The two of them exchanged knowing smiles.

The following day, the case resumed.

This time, Zhao Ye was nowhere to be seen. He had asked Zhao Zhai to take his place as the plaintiff. Their father had informed Zhao Zhai about this change the previous day.

Zhao Zhai grew even more annoyed and silently cursed Zhao Ye.

“Brother Grumpy” indeed lived up to his nickname. He was different from Zhao Ye, who was composed and knew when to speak and when to remain silent. Brother Grumpy lacked the same level of patience.

Hearing Uncle Qing and Sun Qian’s denials and the interrogation, he could not stand that any more.
