"Oh, yes! The Second Young Master heard that you, the First Young Master, were promoted to Prime Minister, so he bought a gift to congratulate you."
Shen Zhiyi looked at the big gift box.
[It’s obvious that what the second brother gave me must be gold bars, silver bills and four treasures of the study. 】
Xiao Hechuan opened the box and took a look.
It really was a big box of silver notes worth ten thousand taels.
[Hahahaha, I knew it, because every time my second brother gives gifts, it’s always these two. I have been giving it away every year for more than ten years, and the format has never changed. 】
[Because the second brother became the richest man in Beijing by doing business, he has nothing but money! Super rich! 】
[Every year on my birthday, my second brother would give me a big box of banknotes. 】
[Well... Speaking of which, my second brother is still a good second brother. Although he hates me and ignores me, he has never missed a birthday present for me. 】
Xiao Lao San sneered, "Second brother always gives these as gifts, it's really boring. Erxi, ask second brother to change to something else next time."
Erxi nodded repeatedly and said, "Then I will go back to find the Second Young Master. He is still delivering the goods. He will be able to deliver it tomorrow morning and will be back in two days."

Xiao Hechuan frowned coldly, his handsome face looking thoughtful.
Who is the protagonist of this novel?
Is it the prince in the palace?
Or a minister?
[We in the Xiao family are really a bunch of unlucky people.] 】
[After I was blown to death, my third brother was framed by the heroine and lost his reputation. My eldest brother was framed by the hero and almost lost his official position. He was also beaten with fifty sticks. My second brother was framed by the hero and lost his career... It was so miserable...]
[It’s because our family is the stepping stone for the male and female protagonists. 】
[Ah, my immortal second brother...]
[When the second brother comes back this time, he will change from a high-ranking immortal to a down-and-out immortal... The second brother also became autistic, and then the second brother was redeemed by the heroine...]
[Then the second brother started to have bad luck again after he met the heroine...]
[My second brother is so miserable. He fell from one hell into another...]
"Eh? Where are you taking me, brother?"
Chen Zhiyi was still sighing when he was suddenly pulled away by Xiao Hechuan.
