Zheng Qiu asked Bai Yi to help her dress up yesterday, making her look particularly unremarkable. They even gave her pockmarks so she could act as her brother's servant.
Then he asked the man in white to keep an eye on the situation of Lady Yong'an and her son.
Zheng Qiu told her brother that she could show him what the real Lady of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion was like. Although her brother was unwilling to believe it, he still cooperated, after all, he was also quite upset.
He felt that both sides were kind to him and genuinely cared for him, but he couldn't convince either side.
It's good to go and see, just in case his sister misunderstood his parents.
So, Zheng Qiu, with her pockmarked face, kept her head down and quietly followed her brother in the yard without going out, and no one noticed.
Then in the evening, the man in white came over and said it was okay.
Zheng Qiu immediately had Bai Yi take her brother over.
The man in white dragged Zheng Qiu's younger brother towards Zheng Sanlang's room.
At that time, Lady Yong'an, along with Zheng Wei, was encouraging Zheng Sanlang.
Zheng Qiu's younger brother felt a little uncomfortable. Why wasn't he taken along for such an important moment?
His emotions went through a series of complex changes until he was finally taken away by the man in white, by which time his heart had become numb.
Last night, Lady He, the wife of the Marquis of Yong'an, and Zheng Wei encouraged Zheng Sanlang to do well in the exam. Even if he couldn't get into the first class, he should at least get into the second class. If he got into the second class, the Marquis of Yong'an would submit a memorial to request that he be made the heir apparent.
Zheng Sanlang said that his elder brother's knowledge was quite good, and regardless of whether it was based on the legitimate or illegitimate heir or seniority, he should be granted the title of heir apparent.
Madam He said that it was not that they did not want to, but that the eldest son's health was not good enough, so how could he be the heir?
After losing her husband, Zheng Wei changed completely. She immediately said, "Brother, are you out of your mind? Hasn't Mother done enough for you? She crippled that bastard's eldest son's legs and ruined that bastard's youngest son to make room for you. Who are you pretending to be all sympathetic for now?"
Zheng Wei was reprimanded by He Shi.
Zheng Wei retorted indignantly, "That's exactly right! What does brother mean by this? Mother tried so hard to get him, and he's already complaining? He's even making excuses. Then why did you, brother, choose to switch places with me, being a man?"
Finally, Madam He called someone in and took Zheng Wei back.
Zheng Sanlang asked Madam He, "Mother, did you really do it to my eldest brother's leg?"
Madam He neither admitted nor denied it, only saying, "Many things in this world don't go as planned. If you don't strive, fight, or scheme, you'll forever live at the bottom. Sanlang, you're good at your studies, and I believe that even without the Marquis's mansion, you can achieve great things. But with the Marquis's mansion, you'll achieve your goals faster, won't you? I won't let you get involved in anything else. Sanlang, you'll always be clean and honest, no one can find a single fault with you, and nothing else matters to you. I only wish for you to be successful, I only wish for you to inherit the family's title, and then continue the family's title through your own abilities in the officialdom. Then your descendants will enjoy glory. I hope you live your life in glory, I hope you will always be a person of high status."
After hearing what she said, how could Zheng Sanlang not understand?
He had actually guessed it before, but he was busy studying and didn't want to care.
Moreover, his half-brother wasn't actually good to him, and he didn't want to try to please him with his cold attitude.
However, he suddenly remembered his half-sister who had gone missing.
