The Old Marquis returned to the Marquis Mansion with a heavy heart.

He had not anticipated that Su Bin would be appointed as the deputy minister of the Court of Judicial Review. It reminded him of the evidence and information submitted by his father in the past.

He had never expected Su Bin to be resolute in his determination to reopen this case.

In a logical context, it seemed highly unlikely for such a clandestine matter occurring within the confines of the mansion to be reported to the Court of Judicial Review.

At the time, the Marquis Mansion’s heir had made accusations far and wide,

and it took three days for the Court of Judicial Review to even accept the

petition. They had merely acknowledged the complaint but had not conducted

a proper investigation.

Back then, most people assumed that the Marquis Mansion’s heir was going through a rebellious phase, and that the troublemaking would eventually subside.

The initial acceptance of the petition was merely an attempt to pacify the Marquis Mansion’s heir and stabilize his emotions.

However, no one had anticipated that, after encountering resistance everywhere, the heir would firmly announce his decision to sever all ties with the Marquis Mansion and vanish from the capital forever.

The Old Marquis drifted back into the memories of that time.

During that period, apart from anger, he felt no remorse—only an overwhelming sense of frustration.

He despised himself for having such an unfilial son. He had resorted to such a drastic measure to cut ties with him, causing him immense embarrassment.

Back then, everyone who was aware of the situation discussed it.

“I had initially believed that the heir, having lost his mother, was consumed by grief, leading him to form extreme opinions. I lacked concrete evidence and wished to sue the Marquis’s concubine.”

“Now, it seems like there might have been some truth to it. Otherwise, the heir wouldn’t have chosen to run away from home.”

Someone derided, “Running away from home is just a temporary escapade. How can a pampered young master like him survive on his own?”

“I bet he’ll return to the mansion in no time.”

In response, another voice countered, “You’re mistaken! He’s made a decisive choice. He publicly renounced his status as the Marquis Mansion’s heir and severed all connections with it!” “He even sent an official declaration to the palace. This is no jest.”

“I believe he’s deadly serious.”

Nevertheless, some individuals acknowledged the inherent uncertainty of the future.

“Even if he departed with a substantial fortune, given how lavishly these young nobles squander money, it’s likely to be exhausted within less than three years.”

“At that point, even without the heir’s status, he can still return to the Marquis Mansion without apprehensions about food and shelter.”

“Let’s see how it unfolds.

A year elapsed swiftly, and those who had been tracking the situation observed that the Marquis Mansion’s heir had not returned. The Marquis, exasperated by his actions, refrained from launching an extensive search.

The prevalent sentiment remained that the heir would eventually retrace his steps.

Even the Marquis held onto this conviction, considering the heir was still a teenager without any survival skills. Once his wealth was depleted, the young man, unaccustomed to hardship, was expected to return to the Marquis Mansion.

Three years passed, and yet the heir of the Marquis Mansion remained conspicuously absent.

Some individuals began to express their astonishment. “The heir of the Marquis Mansion is a remarkably resolute individual. It’s been three years, and he still hasn’t returned.”

Others speculated, “They must have run out of money by now, right? But there has been no news for three years. Could it be that the Marquis Mansion’s heir met an unfortunate end?”

“It wouldn’t be surprising for him to perish outside. A young man with so much wealth and no guards around him—someone might easily have taken his life for money.”

When the Old Marquis heard such comments, he grappled with mixed emotions, especially when he observed his other children leading a life that would be the envy of any offspring, receiving ample love from their mothers and fathers. A sense of guilt welled up within him..
