The commotion grew louder, and Xiao Ming quickly came over, pulled Xiao Luomu aside, and scolded, "How dare you speak to the young prime minister like that?"

As he spoke, he bowed to Zhao Cheng: "Young Prime Minister, Luo Mu, he..."

Before Xiao Ming could finish speaking, Zhao Cheng turned and left.

"This..." Xiao Ming was completely bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

The next day was the day of Xiao Tian's funeral and burial. Zhao Cheng was still angry with Xiao Luomu and woke up early.

He never imagined that Xiao Luomu, who was usually shrewd and intelligent, would become so pedantic after suffering the blow of his father's death.

"master."

Upon hearing Yuan Fei's voice, Zhao Cheng quickly sat up in bed and said, "Come in."

Yuan Fei came in, closed the door behind him, and quickly walked to the bedside.

Zhao Cheng asked, "So, did you find anything?"

Yuan Fei nodded and said solemnly, "I have been secretly watching Xiao Ming since noon yesterday. During the day, the mourning hall was too noisy, and I only saw him talking to many people, but I couldn't hear what they were talking about. After midnight today, I saw him go to a room next to the mourning hall and drink with several people. Among these people were members of the Xiao family and merchants from Qingdong City."

“Master, you guessed right. Based on Xiao Ming’s conversation with them, I judged that Xiao Ming was plotting to sideline Xiao Luomu and seize the position of family head for himself.”

Zhao Cheng took a deep breath, put his hands behind his back, walked to the window, and cursed, "Xiao Luomu, you idiot! If I go straight back to Yanchuan from Yunmeng City, you fool will be kicked out!"

After cursing a few times, Zhao Cheng felt a pang of sympathy for Xiao Luomu.

He knew very well that although Xiao Luomu was intelligent, he was actually the most simple-minded among them.

"Kindness is often taken advantage of..."

"But you're my brother, only I can bully you. If anyone else dares to bully you, I'll make sure they can't even be human!"
