Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“At that moment, Old Master Zhu finally realized the incompetence of his remaining sons, and his thoughts kept drifting towards his eldest son who had left home.’

“Feeling a deep sense of indebtedness to his estranged son, he desired to locate him and make him the heir to the family business, a move that would allow him to entrust the legacy to someone worthy.”

“Thus, Old Master Zhu dispatched someone to search for Young Master Zhu, while Madame Zhu, who had become his wife, also set out to find him.’

“However, it was Madame Zhu who managed to locate Young Master Zhu’s son before her husband did.

“Young Master Zhu’s son had spent all his savings to travel to the capital for the examination. In order to pay the examination fees, he had to pawn the jade his father had once given him.”

“It is because of this jade that Madame Zhu was able to confirm his identity.”

“In order to stop him from taking the examination, Madame Zhu set up a case to frame him.’

“Fortunately, the judge was very observant and cleared his name in the end, so he could make it to the next level.’

“Madame Zhu was punished.”

“After he became the Primus, Old Master Zhu went to the countryside to fetch his son home and promised to give him all the properties.”

Qin Zhenzhen paused.

Su Bin was very interested in the story.

Qin Zhenzhen replied, “Well, what do you think would be the most fitting ending?”

Without any hesitation, Su Bin responded, “Considering that we have already fled from home and severed ties with the family, there’s no point in acknowledging our ancestors anymore.”

He pointed out that even when they were poor, they managed to achieve success without the support of the family. As a result, they no longer needed to abide by the family’s wishes.

Even if they were related by blood, they would not admit that!

Qin Zhenzhen nodded inwardly – he was right.

But according to the book, Su Bin not only did not want to return to the family, but he also wanted to destroy the whole Marquis’ Residence.

“You are right.”

Qin Zhenzhen finished the story.

“Young Master Zhu didn’t want his family business either, and he refused to return to the family.”

“Young Master Zhu’s son became the Prime Minister and helped his father to stand tall.”

Su Bin asked, “Young Master Zhu let Old Master Zhu go just like that?”

Qin Zhenzhen looked at him in surprise. “What else can we do? We can’t just kill him. He is his grandpa, after all.”

Su Bin was startled. So what if it was his grandfather? He had allowed his concubine to kill Young Master Zhu’s mother, which was a capital crime!

But he did not say that out loud.

Qin Zhenzhen added.

“Young Master Zhu chose not to seek revenge on Old Master Zhu, but it appears that Old Master Zhu’s later years were far from prosperous. Eventually, all the family properties were squandered by his descendants,” Qin Zhenzhen recounted.

Su Bin fell into a long silence, feeling as though Qin Zhenzhen was deliberately sharing this story with him. He couldn’t help but connect certain details of his father’s life with elements of the tale. Despite his father claiming that all relatives in the capital were deceased, Su Bin sensed a strong undercurrent of bitterness in his words.

Moreover, his father had urged him to study diligently and attain the top position in the imperial examination, making it clear that this was the only way to achieve greatness and success.

In the story, Young Master Zhu asked his son to do the same.

The only difference was that Young Master Zhu told his son about his background, and his father did not have the time to tell him..
