Zhao Zhiwei turned around abruptly at Zhao Shiye's words, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.

Zhao's father angrily cursed, "You wretched child! How could you bring him back!"

This was the first time Zhao Zhiwei had heard his father scold him like this, and he was momentarily stunned. What exactly happened?

Did my father know Master Zhao?

It seems there is some connection between them.

Master Zhao said frankly, "When I was recommended by my teacher to go to the capital to study and take the imperial examination, I encountered danger on the way and was robbed of my money by thieves, and almost lost my life."

"I begged my way back to Tianxin Village, only to learn that Fanglan had remarried. If I hadn't known that Fanglan had carried your child, I would not have entrusted her to you."

You promised to take good care of Fanglan, but now she's disappeared. Is this how you take care of her?!

Zhao Zhiwei was so shocked by Zhao Shiye's words that he was speechless.

In that case, Master Zhao was his second uncle, and also the scholar his mother regarded as a role model for him.

Judging from what Master Zhao said, his mother must have married his second uncle first, and then married Zhao's father later.

Although it was not uncommon for women in the Jin Dynasty to remarry, it was unheard of for a younger sister to remarry her older brother.

He lived in Tianxin Village for so many years, yet he never uttered a single word about this to the villagers.

This is just too unbelievable.

When Zhao's father was questioned by Zhao's clerk, his eyes seemed to spit fire as he cursed, "If it weren't for my parents' favoritism, Fanglan would have been my child bride. Have you ever seen a family where the eldest son isn't married yet, but the second son is married first!"

"You damn bastard, you're getting the benefit and you're still acting innocent!"

"Get the hell out of here, and don't get in my way!"

After cursing loudly, Zhao's father tried to physically throw Zhao's clerk out of the house.
