Zhao Mingyu and Zhao Mingya have not yet married and both live in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
Zhao Mingzhu, Zhao Mingyue and Zhao Mingxiao have already married. They have been staying in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion for the past two days because of Han Yuehua's matter. Now that she has recovered from her illness, they have hurried home to deal with things.
Each of the three of them had a carriage, but when they got in, Zhao Mingxiao pulled Zhao Mingyue into Zhao Mingzhu's carriage.
Zhao Mingxiao said, "Sister, mother is too partial to Chen Han. She doesn't even care that Zhao Lin is her biological son."
Zhao Mingzhu sighed, "Mom has liked Chen Han since she was a child, you all know that."
Zhao Mingxiao said anxiously, "But she actually wanted to ruin Zhao Lin's imperial examination for Chen Han. You know, Zhao Lin is our brother. It's an honor for us to have won three first places in a row."
"So what?"
Zhao Mingzhu looked at Zhao Mingxiao indifferently, "Mother loves Chen Han now. She wants to make him the Crown Prince and hand over the Marquisate to him in the future. As for Zhao Lin, she's so disgusted with him. Even if he wins the first place in three cases in a row, what will it change?"
Zhao Mingyue couldn't help but say, "But Zhao Lin is still our brother after all."
Zhao Mingzhu sneered, "Now you know he's your biological brother, but what about before? When we were in the mansion, Mingyue, you bullied him a lot, right?"
"I remember one time, you knew he could make kites, so you asked him to make a particularly complicated one. He worked on it for half a month, scratching his hands countless times. And what about you? You just threw it to someone else without even flying it. How could you not know he was your brother at that time?"
Zhao Mingyue blushed and said, "He had just returned at that time. He was dirty and smelly, and had no manners at all. He could have stayed at home, but he insisted on clinging to me. You know, the people we're dating are all from wealthy families. It would be so embarrassing if they knew that a beggar-like person like this was our brother."
"During the half month he was making the kite, I had a lot of peace and quiet. If he hadn't been punished by his mother to kneel down for something else, I would have asked him to make something more complicated."
"But things are different now. His talent is evident. Although he may not be as good as winning three first prizes in a row, it is still very rare. If he is trained well, he may become another top scholar. Lian Zhengyan admires him very much. He can be a great help to us in the future."
Liu Zhengyan, the eldest son of the Marquis of Changning, and Zhao Mingyue's husband.
Zhao Mingzhu said, "In other words, you are only saying this because you see Zhao Lin's talent, and not because he is our brother?"
Zhao Mingyue hesitated for a moment and said, "That's also a factor. If he wasn't our biological brother, I wouldn't support him."
Zhao Mingzhu shook her head and sighed, "But he doesn't want to be our brother. You don't know, but Mingxiao should know. He hates us to death and once said he would take revenge on us one by one. How could he be our helper as you think?"
"He does have talent, but that talent is like a sword to us!"
Zhao Mingyue was startled and asked in confusion, "Why does he hate us so much?"
Zhao Mingzhu sneered, "Other families are eager to provide the best help for their children, hoping that they can get good grades, but we are discussing how to stop him. Why do you think he hates us?"
Zhao Mingyue was unconvinced and said, "Isn't it because of Chenhan? We didn't agree to it."
"What's the difference?"
Zhao Mingzhu looked at the top of the carriage and sighed, "People's hearts are hard to warm up once they've cooled. You wanted him back because you were impressed by his talent, but you didn't realize he didn't want to come back at all."
Zhao Mingyue asked, "What about you? Do you want him to come back?"
Zhao Mingzhu said: "Not sure yet."
"Not sure?" Zhao Mingyue looked at Zhao Mingzhu in surprise.
Zhao Mingzhu said calmly, "I'm already married and can't take care of the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion. What I need to consider is the future of Prince Yu's Mansion. If Zhao Lin has the ability, I will support him to come back. If he doesn't, I'll just hand the Marquis' Mansion over to Chen Han."
"We need a strong family to support us, not a poor waste management company. Understand?"
There was no emotion in Zhao Mingzhu's words, and both Zhao Mingyue and Zhao Mingxiao shuddered when they heard them.
The two of them looked at each other and nodded silently.
"Then just wait. Chenhan is a juren now. He will be eligible to come back only after Zhao Lin passes the juren exam. Otherwise, forget it." Zhao Mingzhu said expressionlessly.
If you pass the imperial examination, you are qualified to become an official, and you are not in the same class as scholars.
Zhao Mingyue and Zhao Mingxiao got what they wanted and returned to their carriages.
In the carriage with only one person left, Zhao Mingzhu sighed softly.
"Zhao Lin, don't blame me for being cruel. Political struggles require more than just talent."
…
Time goes by day by day.
Zhao Lin devoted himself to studying in the inn, and gave up everything except the Bajiquan he had to practice every day.
Zhang Dashan was very careful when going out. Except for buying food, he would never go out and would stay in Zhao Lin's room.
Zhao Lin has this patience, but Zhao Chenhan does not.
"Who informed this damn bastard that he was hiding?"
Zhao Chenhan was so angry that his face was distorted.
"Is it Zhao Mingzhu? Or Zhao Mingyue? Or Zhao Mingxiao or Zhao Mingyu? It shouldn't be Zhao Mingya, she's just an idiot."
Zhao Chenhan thought quickly.
Zhao Lin’s sudden disappearance made him very angry.
This means that someone told Zhao Lin and asked him to hide on purpose.
"You damned bastards! I've lived with you for fifteen years, and you're so partial to an outsider! Damn it! Damn it all!"
Zhao Chenhan was furious.
The servant boy asked, "Master, what should we do next?"
