During the two days that Rong Li pretended to be drunk, no one disturbed him, and his three meals a day were brought to his room on time. Rong Qi and the others didn't say anything about this, letting him figure things out on his own.

On the third day, during lunchtime, Rong Li couldn't resist leaving her room and going to the hall to dine with them. Rong Qi and the Rong Prince and his wife, as usual, exchanged pleasantries without mentioning anything else.

As lunch was about to end, Rong Li spoke to Rong Qi, who was wiping his mouth.

"I am not fit to be the heir apparent, and there are so many things to do that I cannot handle. You should do them yourself."

After confessing that night, Rong Qi had already sorted out all the household affairs and moved them to Rong Li's courtyard. Rong Li wasn't unaware of this; it was only after seeing it that he realized how much Rong Qi had taken on for him, which led to their conversation today.

Whether it was because he wanted to escape or because he didn't want Rong Qi to leave, Rong Li didn't want the position of heir anymore.

He even felt that the previous days were quite good. With Rong Qi leading the way, he could help when needed and enjoy himself freely when not, without any worries. It was much better than not having a moment's rest after taking over the family's affairs.

Upon hearing this, Rong Qing and the Rong Prince and his wife breathed a sigh of relief; Rong Li had come to terms with it.

After hearing this, Rong Qi was relieved that Rong Li had come to terms with it, but on the other hand, she felt as if she had returned to the past, where she was so busy every day that she rarely had the chance to see Jiao Jiao.

It seems he needs to think of a way to get Rong Li to take on some responsibilities as well, otherwise, wouldn't he be too leisurely as the second young master?

Without a second thought, Rong Qi said directly, "Since my second brother is unwilling to take over the position of heir, starting tomorrow, I will hand over some of my affairs to you. You have grown up and it is time for you to share some of the household chores. Otherwise, if people find out that the second young master of the Rong Prince's Mansion is good for nothing and can't do anything, then in the future, no woman may be willing to marry you."

Although he's not often home, nothing at home escapes his notice. As for Rong Li and that little maid, someone had already told him about it.

I can't control you!

Rong Li was about to retort that he no longer wanted the position of heir apparent, so why should he still work? But after hearing the rest of Rong Qi's words, he suddenly fell silent.

If it's as Rong Qi said, wouldn't Chen Xi also look down on her? Anyway, it's just a simple matter, what's so difficult about it?

"I'll take it. I'm not afraid you can't do it. If you can do it well, of course I can do it well too."

Rong Qi nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, it's a deal then. I'll come find you later."

Rong Li nodded and hurried back to his own courtyard. He wanted to pick out the simpler and easier ones first, and leave the more complicated and difficult ones to Rong Qi himself.

As he walked, he thought to himself how incredibly clever he was.

Little did they know that they had fallen into Rong Qi's trap without even realizing it.

After Rong Li left, Xiao Muqing shook his head helplessly: "With Li'er's brains, it's better that he doesn't take over the position of heir."

Rong Qing couldn't help but laugh: "Mother, don't talk about Second Brother like that."

Rong Zhan chimed in from the side, "Madam, we're not stupid, how could we have given birth to such a dumb child? I'm starting to wonder if we made a mistake when we gave birth to him."

Xiao Muqing glared at him: "There was no error, I'm sure of it. I was the only one giving birth that day, how could there be an error? I guess he inherited your intelligence, that's why he's so stupid."

Rong Zhan persisted, "Even Qing'er isn't as stupid as him."

Xiao Muqing glared at him playfully: "What, do you still want them all to be this stupid?"

Rong Zhan fell silent.

Rong Qi shook his head helplessly: "Alright, Father and Mother, I'll go check on my second brother first. You two take your time eating."

"Go ahead, Qi'er. If you can't teach me, then beat me as hard as you can. I don't believe it."

Upon hearing Xiao Muqing's words, Rong Zhan's lips twitched, while Rong Qi and Rong Qing couldn't help but chuckle. It was as if Rong Li wasn't her son.

Rong Qi nodded, turned and walked through the hall.

After Rong Qi left, only the family of three remained.

Rong Qing looked at her parents with a grin: "Father, Mother, brother and second brother, have you made up now?"

Xiao Muqing nodded: "I guess they've reconciled. I hope they can truly be like brothers from now on, respectful and helpful to each other."

Rong Qing nodded: "Yes, Mother."

Rong Zhan nodded in agreement: "Yes, they've all grown up, we should be relieved."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Muqing looked at her husband and daughter and smiled with satisfaction.
