“Before I address your query, allow me to convey something to you, my dear young master.”

“The Marquis had already recognized your literary talents before setting eyes on you. It was merely a matter of time until you achieved fame. His admiration for you grew even stronger after your introduction. Prior to his descent, the Marquis shared a piece of information with me.”

“If Young Master is amenable to bringing his siblings back to the Marquis Mansion, he will request an imperial decree to designate you as the heir to the Marquis Mansion.”

“The Marquis must have contemplated this decision thoroughly. There is no reason to doubt his sincerity.”

Butler Chen concluded his discourse and awaited Su Bin’s reaction with anticipation.

However, Su Bin remained composed. “I have previously stated that until we thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding my father’s departure and the identity of the individual who consistently sabotaged my examinations, we cannot return to the Marquis Mansion.”

“Nonetheless, I am aware of the challenges you face.”

“If indeed my father left due to my grandmother’s poisoning, even if we uncover the truth after more than two decades, I doubt the Marquis would dare to disclose it publicly. Such an admission would be a significant affront to his reputation.”

“Additionally, the person who framed me is well known to be the Marquis’s wife, a fact the Marquis himself is aware of. Nevertheless, he refrains from making this information public or punishing his wife, as doing so would not only besmirch her reputation but also reflect poorly on him.”

“Consequently, the Marquis has no desire to initiate an investigation.”

“There are two primary motives behind the Marquis’s endeavor to entice us back with the promise of the heir’s position. Firstly, it serves as a form of recompense. Secondly, it is an acknowledgment of the inadequacies of the current residents of the Marquis Mansion. Am I mistaken?”

Butler Chen nodded in agreement. “Young Master is absolutely correct.”

He discerned no need to conceal the truth on behalf of the Marquis in the presence of such an astute individual.

“However, Young Master may have overlooked the depth of the Marquis’s genuine affection for you. His desire to welcome you back to the Marquis Mansion is heartfelt.’

“Furthermore, Young Master may have underestimated the significance of becoming the heir to the Marquis Mansion.”

“Attaining this status would enable Young Master to achieve much more with significantly less effort in the future.”

“Thus, I personally believe that it would be highly advantageous for you to return to the Marquis Mansion and acknowledge your familial ties.”

Su Bin concealed his inner cynicism. This was a person who had held fervent biases in his youth but still had to preserve his public image in old age. Even if his sentiments were authentic, Su Bin remained apathetic.

Nevertheless, Su Bin feigned resignation.

“If we were to return to the Duke Mansion immediately, it would be perceived as an admission of wrongdoing on our father’s part for leaving, and it would imply that the Marquis’s wife faced no consequences for framing us.”

“Some individuals would conclude that we returned to the Duke’s Mansion without protest because we lacked the fortitude to stand our ground due to our poverty.”

“Consequently, we would be subject to ridicule by many.”

“Hence, the timing isn’t right for our return to the Marquis Mansion.”

“When we do return, it will be at a juncture where our strength commands respect.”

Butler Chen promptly grasped Su Bin’s intent.

“You mean that you’ll consider returning to the Marquis Mansion and acknowledging your kin when you secure a place on the Golden Ranking List?”

Su Bin shook his head with a wry smile. “It’s not merely a matter of accolades. We must also amass wealth!”

Qin Zhenzhen stifled a chuckle. Her hunch had been correct. Su Bin was, in fact, utilizing this strategy to amass wealth.

However, Su Bin’s thoughts were not wrong. His father was the Marquis Mansion’s heir, and his grandmother was the Marquis Mansion’s official wife. He had a share of the Marquis Mansion’s assets..
