"Why is this so?" the princess asked calmly.
"Of course, it's because Second Master Bai did too many bad things while impersonating Third Master Bai. It's retribution! Before he got married, he went out under Third Master Bai's name and got involved with a widow. Coincidentally, the doctor treating him was that widow's father. Naturally, the widow's father didn't want the two brothers to be happy, so he increased the dosage of the medicine he gave them. Third Master Bai overdosed on it, which backfired, and his minor ailments were cured. Second Master Bai obediently took the medicine, which completely ruined him." Bai Shijun laughed very brightly.
"Third son, is what he said true?" The princess, now convinced that the man before her was indeed her third son, asked sternly.
“Yes…” Master Bai said weakly.
"What a tragedy! What a tragedy!" The princess pounded the armrest of the chair several times, wishing she could have thrown the two sons away when they were born.
"How do you know so much?" Jiang asked Bai Shijun.
"Because I saw them switch identities when I was a child, and I saw them fight over Bai Sanye's sweetheart. My brother's birth was because of Bai Erye's scheme, and my sixth sister's birth was also because of Bai Erye's scheme. Only my seventh sister's birth must have been because Bai Sanye was heartbroken and wanted to have a legitimate child for himself!" Bai Shijun smiled sarcastically, emphasizing the word "legitimate".
"I spent ten years investigating everything. I spent a year making arrangements. I have great sympathy for Master Bai. He is my biological father and he was very good to me, so I have the same respect and admiration a child has for their father. He deserves the title of father. He was harmed by Master Bai. My eldest uncle actually knew about this. He told my grandfather, but my grandfather said it was against human ethics to talk about it, so he told my eldest uncle not to make a fuss. Did my grandfather not consider the helplessness my biological father was forced into? Did my grandfather not know that Master Bai ruined Master Bai's reputation and, in the end, killed Master Bai's sweetheart, which made Master Bai give up? He knew, but for his own selfish reasons, he did nothing and even stopped my eldest uncle from intervening, telling him not to interfere. Isn't that ridiculous?" Bai Shijun's eyes were filled with hatred.
Master Bai was stunned. He hadn't expected that his father and elder brother knew about this, and he was even more surprised that his father had stopped his elder brother from intervening.
He was mischievous and lively from a young age, and not as smart as his second brother. But ever since he met Cui Cui, he was determined to change. He wanted to become a man who could stand tall and support Cui Cui. However, things didn't go as planned.
Upon learning that Cui Cui had mistaken his second brother for him, and that Cui Cui had died of shame because of the mistake, he lost all will to live. He had even considered ending his own life, but his second brother saved him. His second brother told him that Cui Cui wanted him to live a good life.
He lived in a daze for several years. When he met Cuicui's family again, he learned that Cuicui was killed by his second brother. He had thought about killing his second brother to avenge Cuicui, but he was no match for him. His second brother usually looked gentle and refined, but he was very skilled in martial arts.
Over the years, he neither slept with his second wife nor his third wife. Eventually, he gave up and went to brothels to relieve his boredom, which is why his second and third wives only had four children in total.
