As the fourth young master of the Zheng family, he would have been a high-ranking official in the past.

Even in arranged marriages, people usually choose someone whose appearance and temperament are similar.

But look at him again, not only did he marry a stinky wife, but she was also fat, and she always liked to be in charge of everything, making him, a grown man, live like a submissive wife.

Now that he's almost fifty, and more than half of his life has passed, why should he keep making himself suffer like this?

Are you trying to drive me crazy?

Zheng Xianming was furious at Zheng Xiandeng's disregard for the bigger picture.

"Second brother, one must have a conscience!"

"Because I married Li Yue'e, how much benefit did you and Third Brother gain?"

"But what about me?"

"That's because you're not ambitious enough, who else can you blame?"

Zheng Xianming spoke angrily.

Zheng Xiandeng sneered and said, "Is it that I'm not ambitious, or that you don't want me to be ambitious?"

"Fourth brother, what you're saying is utter nonsense!"

"I'm talking nonsense?"

Zheng Xiandeng stared coldly at Zheng Xianming, "Over the years, how many opportunities for advancement have I had that you suppressed? Do you want me to list them all for you?"

Do you think I don't understand anything?

"Aren't you just afraid that if I get promoted, the Li family will make me their main supporter, and you and Third Brother will have fewer opportunities?"

“You keep telling people that I’m still young and lack experience, and you keep suppressing my opportunities to move up.”

"Tell me, who do you think you are, second brother?"

Zheng Xiandeng was also extremely angry.

Over the years, he endured humiliation in silence for the sake of the Zheng family's overall interests.

But now, he doesn't want to put up with it anymore.

Why is it always him?

Back then, in order to ensure his elder brother had an heir, he was schemed against by his mother. But he couldn't tell anyone about it, otherwise, even if his mother died, her reputation would be ruined.

Now, his older brother blames him!

Everyone blames him!

But on what grounds?

Zheng Xiandeng's words left Zheng Xianming speechless.

As Zheng Xiandeng said, Zheng Xianming was indeed worried that if Zheng Xiandeng got promoted, the Li family would no longer support him and the third son, but would focus on supporting the fourth son.

"Fourth brother, I'm sorry for what happened!"

Zheng Xianming stood up and solemnly bowed to Zheng Xiandeng to apologize, "However, the third brother is at a critical moment right now. Without the help of the Li family, the third brother might not be able to take this step!"

"As long as the third brother takes this step, then the third brother and I can work together perfectly and preserve the Zheng family's wealth for at least thirty years!"

"This concerns not only me and the third brother, but also you and your son!"

Seeing that he could no longer suppress his younger brother as before, Zheng Xianming softened his attitude and prepared to appeal to his emotions and reason with him.

"Second brother, don't tell me that!"

"I'm in trouble now, and if this isn't resolved, I might not make it through this!"

"So, what does it matter to me what happens to the Zheng family?"

Zheng Xiandeng is not stupid; if he were, he wouldn't have gotten to where he is today.

This letter made him feel extremely threatened.

Intuition told him that he had to find out who wrote the letter, or else he would face utter destruction.

"Wait a minute!"

"What exactly is going on with this letter?"

Hearing Zheng Xiandeng speak so seriously, Zheng Xianming finally realized where to start!
