Jiang Shuxue, with a hint of resentment and a gentle smile, showed off her skirt.
"Young Master Zhong, do I look good today?"
Young Master Zhong glanced at Jiang Shuxue with indifferent eyes.
"Miss Jiang is naturally beautiful."
Although she received the response she wanted to hear, Jiang Shuxue still felt a sense of frustration.
Her heart grew even colder; no matter what, she was determined to drag Young Master Zhong down with her.
"I have a very important matter to discuss with Young Master Zhong today."
"Miss Jiang, please speak."
Jiang Shuxue looked at Young Master Zhong: "Young Master Zhong, do you know that my younger brother Jiang Shijing used to suffer from madness, but he recovered in the blink of an eye and is now a normal person?"
Her wary expression puzzled Zhong Gongzi.
"Isn't this a good thing? I ran into Lord Jiang the other day. He was radiant and full of energy. I suppose it's because of this. The Zhong family has a worthy successor. After all, Young Master Jiang was once known as a child prodigy."
These words sounded very harsh to Jiang Shuxue.
"It's a good thing, but if this happens, my two younger brothers will not be happy in the future. Young Master Zhong also knows that in a prestigious family, if you have it, I don't."
Young Master Zhong was quite surprised: "Young Master Jiang is Miss Jiang's own brother, so why is Miss Jiang paying more attention to the two concubines' younger brothers, as if she's afraid they won't get more benefits from the family?"
This question touched on a crucial and sensitive point, making Jiang Shuxue feel somewhat awkward.
She considered it carefully: "Because my younger brother has been mentally unstable since childhood and does not have the mind of a normal person, I am closer to my two half-brothers. Besides, we have the same father, and blood is thicker than water. It is only natural that I am worried about their future."
"I hope my eldest brother is doing well, and I also hope my second and third brothers are doing well."
“Moreover—” Jiang Shuxue paused.
"After my younger brother recovered, he did some excessive things, which even affected me and Mr. Zhong."
"What do you mean?"
“My younger brother came to see me yesterday and discussed it with me. He said that our mother’s dowry was quite generous. If I were to give it all to him, it would be like giving the Zhong family a bargain. He wants to support the family business in the future and needs to have more support. My younger brother wants to take half of the dowry, or even 70%.”
Young Master Zhong, who had previously maintained an attitude of watching the show from the sidelines or even judging the situation, became solemn upon hearing these words.
"Is that really what Young Master Jiang said?"
“Young Master Zhong, we are about to get married and our interests will be intertwined in the future. Why would I lie to you? Of course, if you ask your younger brother, he will definitely not admit it, but he always runs to Mother and is very attentive, all for Mother's dowry.”
Young Master Zhong's eyes darkened, and he placed the cup in his hand on the table with a slight force.
He let out an almost inaudible groan, stood up, stopped by the window, looked outside, and squinted.
“I remember that Princess Shouguang meant to give you all of her dowry.”
"Yes, after all, she is my mother. When I get married, her dowry should naturally be mine. But my younger brother insists on competing with me. He inherited such a large family business, why be so stingy?"
