As his faith power entered Wu Hua's body, the oath was established.

Seeing Wu Hua's satisfied smile, Qin Luo knew everything was settled.

She put on an anxious expression and looked at Zhong Xiaoyou.

"You better stand your hair up and go home with your mother to settle the score! Remember! No matter what, you must stand with her!"

Zhong Xiaoyou bowed deeply to her.

"Please rest assured, I will invite you both to visit my home after I have settled my family affairs!"

"Of course, of course, go ahead! Madam Zhong is waiting for you in the hall!"

After agreeing, Zhong Xiaoyou ran wildly towards the hall.

Wu Hua asked with some concern, "Luo Luo, are they sure they can handle it? Aren't we going to help them?"

Qin Luo shook his head

“We can’t go. If they resolve it themselves, that’s a family matter. The original wife and the eldest son, the clan elders will all stand on their side. But we have the support of the entire clan. If we rashly interfere, they might be targeted by the whole family!”

Wu Hua was a little disappointed upon hearing this.

"Alright then! Let's leave it at that and wait for Zhong Xiaoyou to come and invite us into the manor!"

"Okay, just wait!"

Two days passed, and neither Madam Zhong nor Zhong Xiaoyou made a move.

On the third day, while Master Zhong was out looking for Zhong Xiaoyun, Zhong Xiaoyou...

They invited all the elders of the clan to the Zhong residence, saying they wanted to seek justice for their mother.

The clan members assumed it was just another matter between the principal wife and concubine, and none of the respected elders went.

Zhong Xiaoyou knew they thought he was blind and incapable of inheriting the family business, and therefore looked down on him.

Although Zhong Xiaoyun hasn't been found yet, he will return sooner or later.

He knew the position of head of the family would inevitably be his in the future, so he didn't pay much attention to Madam Zhong!

At this moment, Zhong Xiaoyou also deeply realized how much grievance Madam Zhong had suffered during the days he was blind!

He, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly shot a sharp look at the crowd.

"So this is how you've treated my mother all these years while I've been blind?"

The crowd didn't react much to his question.

A blind person has absolutely no chance of inheriting the family headship.

They only gave him a little face because he held the title of the legitimate son.

Most of the clansmen remained silent, except for the younger cousin who usually enjoyed making fun of the mother and son.

"How could that be! Our Zhong clan has never mistreated your mother!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaoyou smashed a teacup precisely at him.

"Who taught you manners? My mother is your aunt and the matriarch of the Zhong family. How dare you treat her with such disrespect? Do you really think I'm dead?"

Everyone turned to look at him, seeing how accurately he threw the teacup.

The person who was hit was also stunned on the spot. More than the pain, he was concerned about Zhong Xiaoyou's eyes.

The uncles and elders of the clan went directly to Zhong Xiaoyou's side and waved their hands in front of his eyes.

"You'er, can you see now?"

Zhong Xiaoyou stared at him with a half-smile.

"What, are you unhappy that I'm better, Uncle?"

The elders in the clan gave him a reproachful look.

"What kind of talk is that! You are the eldest son of the Zhong family, how could we possibly be unhappy?"

Zhong Xiaoyou knew in his heart that these people were all bloodsuckers.

They're not really happy; it's just a matter of who brings them the most benefits!

It doesn't matter who is the head of the family, as long as their interests are protected.

"Do you see any difference between legitimate sons and illegitimate sons?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions on everyone's faces turned grim.

They had previously shown more favoritism towards Zhong Xiaoyun because Zhong Xiaoyou was blind.

After all, people are driven by self-interest; only the person who can inherit the position of family head...

Only by bringing them the wealth they desire can they naturally become more inclined to please their heirs!

But they would never admit it.

"You'er, how can you say that? Our Zhong family is a family that values ​​poetry and propriety. We place the most importance on the distinction between elders and juniors, and between legitimate and illegitimate children. We had no choice but to help you when you were ill before!"

Zhong Xiaoyou looked disdainfully at the group of hypocritical clansmen before him.

"If that's the case, then we implore you elders to seek justice for my son and me!"

Another elder from the clan stepped forward to inquire.

"You'er, tell us what happened. If you and your daughter have really been wronged, we will definitely not stand idly by!"

Zhong Xiaoyou bowed and cupped his hands in greeting.

"My mother is too busy taking care of me to manage the household affairs, so my father entrusted the management to Consort Deng. But yesterday, when my mother was checking the dowry, she found that part of it had been misappropriated. What do you think we should do about this?"

The tribespeople did not answer immediately, but instead began to analyze things amongst themselves.

Although Consort Deng was favored, she was still a concubine and had no family to rely on.

Moreover, all their food, clothing, and daily necessities were provided by the Zhong family, and they had not brought them any benefits over the years.

But Madam Zhong was different; whether it was the year-end bonus or the gifts during holidays...

It's always been more, never less, not to mention the influence of her maternal family.

A family of military officers, a family of unwavering loyalty, they grew up studying and studying alongside the children of the imperial family.

Whether it's family background, connections, wealth, or demeanor, they far surpass Aunt Deng by hundreds of times.

The clansmen remained silent, and Zhong Xiaoyou was too lazy to wait any longer.

He said directly, "My son and I don't expect your favoritism. We just hope that the Zhong family can make up for my mother's dowry within three days. Otherwise, we will pay the difference from the public account!"

The uncles and elders in the clan were displeased upon hearing this.

"You'er, how can you say that? The Zhong family is your family too!"

Zhong Xiaoyou burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"Hahaha, uncles and elders, look at this huge Zhong Mansion, is there any place for my mother and me? The concubine secretly took the mistress's dowry, and the head of the family not only did not stop her, but also indulged her. If it weren't for me, why would my mother have to suffer this humiliation? A divorce would have been enough!"
