Warm medicine emits fragrance

These words caused an uproar; some were shocked, while others gloated.

The old lady jumped to her feet, her face filled with disbelief. "This..."

"Bang!" A loud noise interrupted the old lady's words.

Everyone looked at Li Chenbi, who angrily stood up, kicked over the stool next to him, and glared at the soldier, "What did you say?"

The soldier looked at him and said calmly, "Second Master... oh, no, you are no longer the Second Master Li of the Li family."

"If you didn't understand, you can take a closer look at this letter written by the prince himself." As he spoke, he held up the letter in his hand.

Li Chenbi strode forward, snatched the letter from his hand, quickly glanced at it, and then sneered, "Absurd!"

The soldier's face also turned cold. "How dare you disrespect the Prince!"

Li Chenbi looked at him, tore the letter in his hand to shreds, and said coldly, "I say you're being absurd! I am the younger brother of the concubine, how could the prince possibly expel me from the clan! You must be spouting nonsense!"

"Li Chenbi!" The soldier pointed at him, "How dare you! This is the Prince's edict!"

Li Chenbi threw away the shredded paper in his hand, stepped forward, grabbed the soldier by the collar, and said in a grim tone, "Who knows if this letter is real or fake? You are the one who is audacious enough to forge a letter from the Prince. Today, I will clean house for the Prince!"

With that, he shouted sharply, "Li Qiuping!"

Li Qiuping immediately stepped forward, drew his sword, and held it to the soldier's neck.

"Li Chenbi, how dare you!" the soldier glared at him.

Li Chenbi laughed, "If you dare to impersonate a prince, why shouldn't I?"

"Li Chenbi, are you out of your mind?!" Li Chenxin shouted, "He's the prince's personal guard!"

"You have committed numerous evil deeds in the past, but now you dare to disrespect the Prince. This family can no longer tolerate such a lawless person as you."

"Someone come here!" Li Chenxin shouted outside.

As soon as the sound faded, a group of well-trained guards rushed in from outside and surrounded the entire hall.

"Master! What's going on here?" the old lady asked in shock, looking at the guards.

No one answered him. At this moment, Li Chenxin could only see Li Chenbi. He suppressed the excitement in his eyes and tried his best to squeeze out an angry expression to cover it up.

When the group of guards appeared, Li Chenbi's eyes flashed with astonishment, clearly not expecting to be outmaneuvered.

He gritted his teeth and looked at Li Chenxin, "So, you had this all planned out all along."

Seeing Li Chenbi's frustrated and angry expression, Li Chenxin felt a surge of satisfaction.

He had been waiting for this day for far too long.

Pointing at Li Chenbi, his voice trembled with excitement, he ordered the guards, "Take him down!"

The group of guards immediately rushed towards Li Chenbi. Li Chenbi released the soldiers and began to fight with the guards.

Li Qiuping, keeping an eye on Li Chenbi, took the sword from the soldier's neck to block the guards from getting closer.

Ultimately, two fists can't fight four hands. Soon, the sword in Li Qiuping's hand was knocked away, he was hit by a stick, and kicked to the ground.

Li Chenbi's resistance didn't last long, and he was captured by two guards.

"Stop! All of you stop!" The old lady was both anxious and angry. She spoke to the group of guards while trying to pull Li Chenxin away.

"Li Chenxin, what exactly are you going to do!"

Li Chenxin then looked at the old lady, her eyes filled with years of pent-up resentment and discontent. "What am I supposed to do?"

He shook off the old lady's hand. "Mother, before you ask me that question, you should ask yourself honestly what you've been doing all these years!"

"As the old saying goes, discord among brothers is a sign of the parents' lack of virtue. If you hadn't been so biased and hadn't spoiled him to the point where he completely disregarded my existence as his elder brother, none of this would have happened today!"

He could no longer suppress his indignation and stopped pretending.

The old lady was startled by his gaze, clutching her chest and taking a step back. It was the old nanny beside her who supported her. "Is Madam alright?"

The old nanny looked at Li Chenxin with disappointment in her eyes. "Master, how can you speak to Madam like that? Madam has never been biased towards you or Second Master."

Li Chenxin laughed upon hearing this, "Hahaha..." Her laughter was full of sarcasm, "Never shown favoritism?"

"Who would believe that?" He turned to look at the other tribesmen huddled in the corner. "Do you believe it?"

No one answered him, so he looked at the old lady again.

"See, nobody believes that!"

"I am clearly the eldest son, I am so many years older than him, yet he always dominates me. Outsiders only know that there is a Second Master Li in the Li family, who knows that I exist!" He became more and more angry as he spoke, and the expression on his face became ferocious.

The old lady looked heartbroken and clutched her chest as she said, "You always say I'm biased, but do you know that the position of head of this family should have belonged to Chen Bi? It was I who decided to give it to you."

"Hehehe, the position of family head..." Li Chenxin shook his head with a smile, then his expression changed instantly, "This position of family head is just an empty title. Giving it to me is like I've gotten a great deal."

The old lady couldn't hold back any longer and said angrily, "You always say that the family business is controlled by Chen Bi. Think back carefully, wasn't it given to you before? It's because you're incompetent. You lose money no matter what you do. You can't even manage a perfectly good business properly. If you were really in charge, would you still be living such a carefree life?"

"Look at your life now! You don't have to do anything, you don't have to take any risks, and you don't have to use your brain. You can enjoy endless wealth and luxury while sitting at home. So many people envy your life but can't even dream of it!"

"Enough!" Li Chenxin didn't like hearing these words. "You've deceived him, so naturally you think everything he does is good."

"But outsiders won't be as biased towards him as you are. He's notorious outside, and he deserves his current predicament!"

As he spoke, Li Chenbi looked at Li Chenbi, who was being held by guards, and said coldly, "Li Chenbi's disobedience to the king's order is a great disrespect. As the head of the Li family, I should teach him a lesson."

"Drag him away and give him fifty lashes!"

"Li Chenxin!" The old lady was anxious and stepped forward to pull him away.

Li Chenxin impatiently shook off her and said to the guards beside him, "Send the old lady back to the west courtyard. Without my order, the old lady shall not step out of the west courtyard at will in the future."

After the old lady was taken away, Li Chenxin looked at Li Chenbi, a smug look spreading across his eyes.

Li Chenbi was pressed down, lowering his once arrogant head and standing bent over.

Li Chenxin walked up to him, looked down at him, and asked with a smile, "Second brother, did you never dream that you would have this day?"

Li Chenbi looked up at him, his eyes blazing with anger. "Li Chenxin, you're truly cunning!"

Li Chenxin smiled and said, "Likewise." He leaned down, close to Li Chenbi, and whispered in his ear.

"It's just that this time, God is on my side."
