"What the hell do you mean, Third Brother and Fourth Brother?"
My father has been grooming me to be the next head of the family since I was a child!
"I am the eldest son. The second son's claim is illegitimate. Does he even deserve to be called one?"
These words were so harsh that the third and fourth brothers could no longer hold back and rushed forward to start a fight with Ye Shi'an.
The second brother didn't participate; he just stepped forward to dissuade his two younger brothers from acting impulsively.
The study was suddenly filled with a great commotion.
Xiao Xi and the little monk, still in stealth mode, continued to watch the show.
Xiaoxi felt that the commotion wasn't enough and that they should add fuel to the fire.
So she whispered to the young novice.
"Right now, your three uncles haven't suspected their eldest brother yet. I'm going to find Li Yan to set things off."
The little novice's eyes lit up with excitement: I can't wait!
Xiao Xi immediately went to Li Yan's room.
Li Yan has been recuperating at home for the past two days, mainly because she is utterly disappointed in Ye Shi'an, but unfortunately, the Ye family rules do not allow divorce.
She comes from a good family and is her parents' beloved only daughter.
If it weren't for the Ye family rules, she wouldn't have had to put up with this humiliation long ago.
She was still fast asleep, and as usual she would sleep until noon, so she had no idea that something big had happened at home.
Xiao Xi cast a slight spell, making Li Yan feel like she was dreaming.
Li Yan dreamt that she had already woken up and was sitting in bed in a daze.
At this moment, her father-in-law, Ye Dexian, surprisingly entered his daughter-in-law's bedroom without knocking on the door early in the morning.
Li Yan quickly sat up and frantically covered herself with her low-cut halter-neck nightgown.
"Father! What brings you here?"
It was indeed very impolite for the father-in-law to enter his daughter-in-law's room so early in the morning.
My father-in-law, in particular, always puts etiquette and propriety first.
Ye Dexian's face turned pale, and he gestured to Li Yan that she did not need to get up.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, I know that you have suffered injustices in the Ye family all these years."
I only understand now, and I truly regret it!
Li Yan was even more surprised. Her father-in-law had entered her room just to tell her this?
This is so unreasonable!
She saw that Ye Dexian was pale and his steps were unsteady, and suddenly she realized something.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, just as you thought."
I just had an accident. In the study, my son Ye Shi'an, whom I raised myself, killed me with his own hands.
He's so cruel; he smothered me to death with a cushion.
So I came here to ask my eldest daughter-in-law for help in exposing that beast.
The evidence is in my hands.
Ye Dexian opened his hand, and a shirt cufflink was prominently displayed in his palm.
Li Yan recognized the cufflinks; they were the ones she had given Ye Shi'an for his birthday earlier this year.
"What? Father!" Li Yan jumped up in shock.
At that moment, Li Yan woke up from her dream with a start, covered in cold sweat.
This isn't a dream! It felt so real; the scene just now was incredibly realistic.
Li Yan quickly changed her clothes and rushed out of the bedroom.
Sure enough, her most personal maid was running upstairs in a panic.
"Young Madam, something terrible has happened! The Master of the Family has passed away, and now the four young masters are causing a ruckus in the Master's study!"
Li Yan was terrified; it was all true after all.
Her father-in-law did come to her earlier, asking for her help.
Without a second thought, Li Yan rushed towards the main building.
She pushed open the study door.
"Stop arguing! Father was killed by Ye Shian!"
