Intuition told her that when the eldest brother said he planned to leave after the New Year, it most likely had to do with that dream. The dream was too mystical; in the dream, she died because of Pei Yu... He felt sick at the thought of Pei Yu, yet when the eldest brother mentioned the sixth brother, Yixuan, he couldn’t help but feel anxious. Liang Zhichen never expected that in trying to be clever, he would actually outsmart himself. His confession to his third brother today was also meant as a precaution. Because if he really did leave on that long journey after the New Year, he feared it might be a while before he could return, and someone would have to look after the home front during that time. Shujun had actually predicted the danger of this trip—could this be a case of lifting a rock only to drop it on one’s own foot? Just as Liang Zhichen was feeling sentimental, he suddenly heard Shujun shout at the top of her lungs, "Madam, Madam, come quickly! Big brother doesn’t want us anymore!" Dong Huiying and the others were not far away, so when they heard Shujun calling, they rushed in hastily. The first person to enter was Lao Wu, Liang Yuening, who had been eavesdropping at the door. Yuening blinked his eyes; the voices of his eldest and third brothers had been too quiet earlier, and he had not heard much, only vaguely catching references to dreams, the madam, and Yixuan... Dong Huiying looked at Liang Zhichen with a confused face. Shujun stood up, and through the haze, he saw a figure clothed in purple, so he groped his way over. "Madam, big brother doesn’t want us anymore. He’s actually thinking of leaving the family! I’m the first to disagree with this! Besides, you are the head of the family, Madam. It’s unacceptable for the eldest brother to consider leaving without consulting you first!" Shujun, clutching the madam’s arm, complained tearfully, as if his big brother were a mischievous little brat, prompting laughter from everyone present. Dong Huiying looked at Liang Zhichen skeptically, "You’re leaving?" She blinked, seemingly unable to accept the news. Once upon a time, this man had gradually become her pillar of strength. "I..." Liang Zhichen found himself at a loss for words. He found himself outwitted by his own brother, both amused and helpless, and couldn’t help but glare at his third brother, only to see him grinning mischievously, leaning on the madam’s shoulder, and laughing secretly. "It’s : actually, I have some properties outside, but the silver invested in them has all been tied up. The reason I want to leave after the New Year is for this matter." At the entrance, Shu Yu looked at her eldest brother with an eerily piercing gaze. All the brothers in the family had been deceived by the eldest brother, who had hidden his true self deep. Many things had only begun to be revealed after repeated testing. The big brother had a secret, one not merely about covertly being the Master at Black Wind Camp, but about carrying a far more serious and weighty shackle on his back. Shu Yu frowned, "Big brother, do you dare to swear to the heavens that what you say is true?" "No, don’t rush. Take your time to consider before you answer me. If you truly dare to swear, then I shall swear on my own life. If there is a single lie in your words, I pray for heaven to strike me with five thunders and never to die a peaceful death!" Liang Zhichen: "Shu Yu!!" Shu Yu smirked with a twisted lip, "See, I knew it. You must be lying. Since when has it become our custom to share only good news and not worries with the family?" Lao Si, seeing this, though silent, quietly positioned himself to block the doorway. Lao Wu, Yuening, full of doubts, asked, "What’s going on? Big brother, second brother, what are you guys hiding?" Yixuan also looked at big brother with skepticism, but the big brother was uncharacteristically silent.
