Chapter 1705: Chapter 1705: Change of Identity, Surnamed Lin!

"Family head, the nanny came with a message from the Old Madam. She meant that since the Third Young Master has been found, Prince Tianyu’s identity should be changed. Since he originally should carry the Lin surname, he can no longer bear the Yue Clan surname," she said.

Upon hearing the nanny’s words, Yue Chong was greatly shocked.

He had already inquired into why Hao’er went to Chushui’s courtyard, and it was instigated by Tianyu.

It seemed that Old Madam knew everything and was ready to support Chushui!

"Alright, please let the nanny return and tell mother I’ll handle this matter tomorrow." After all, Yue Tianyu was inherently not a member of the Yue Family, so what surname he held afterwards didn’t matter at all.

However, within the room, Luo Mianyi almost bit her own silver teeth to pieces.

That old crone was still willing to stand up for Yue Chushui. She thought that after the incident at that evening banquet, when Yue Chushui publicly contradicted Old Madam Yue, she would never look at Yue Chushui again!

Yet, unexpectedly...

After all, Yue Chushui was her grandson; she couldn’t possibly neglect him.

But weren’t her children also the old crone’s own grandsons? She had birthed two sons for Yue Chong!

Why must that old crone be so biased? Couldn’t she be impartial?!

...

The next day.

When Yue Tianyu heard Yue Chong announce to everyone about changing his surname, he was utterly dumbfounded.

"Uncle, I..."

He didn’t want to change his surname at all. Without the Yue surname, how would he continue to live in the Yue Family?

However, under Yue Chong’s gaze, he found himself unable to speak a single word.

He knew it was because he had coaxed Tianhao to go cause trouble at Yue Chushui’s courtyard the previous day, which Yue Chong had found out about, and that had led to today’s situation.

But he had never imagined Yue Chong would be so ruthless as to demand he change his surname!

Was this not driving him to a dead end?

Seeing that Yue Chong left right after finishing their conversation under the guise of having other matters to attend to, he was filled with bitterness.

At that moment, he was filled with regret.

If he had known that yesterday’s actions would result in Peng Tianhao falling into Yue Chushui’s hands and bringing the issue before Yue Chong, he would never have incited anyone to go to Yue Chushui’s courtyard.

He had truly shot himself in the foot.

"Big brother, will you no longer carry the Yue surname?"

Yue Tianhao, who had been learning to read with Yue Tianyu in the school building, was puzzled after hearing their father’s words.

Hearing this, Yue Tianyu, now demoralized, merely pursed his lips.

Unable to get a response, Yue Tianhao then turned to look at his Second Brother, Yue Tianze.

"Second Brother, can a surname be changed just like that?" he asked.

"Ordinarily, a person’s surname cannot be changed," Yue Tianze thought for a moment before explaining to his brother.

"Then why does Big Brother have to change his surname?" Yue Tianhao was still puzzled.

What was their father thinking? Why make Big Brother change his surname? And what would his new surname be?

"Because Big Brother is not really dad’s biological son. Big Brother... oh, no, from now on we should call him Brother Lin. I heard from Nanny that Brother Lin was mistakenly switched at birth and brought here in place of our real brother," explained Yue Tianze.

"Ah?"

Yue Tianhao’s face fell.

"Oh, I understand now—it’s that one from the new courtyard. Mom told me to call him Brother Chushui," he recalled.

That Yue Chushui, who had almost cost him his hand before, was actually his real brother?
