Chapter 1998: Chapter 1998: With Deep Origins

Although he had done several deals with Nanny Liu, he truly did not know what her name was, only that she was someone by Madam Yue’s side.

"Otherwise, even though we’ve done several deals with that old woman, we wouldn’t dare to take on the job of killing members of the Yue Family, if not for her saying that it was Madam Yue’s order. Plus, that old woman is incredibly generous, first giving me ten gemstones, claiming that once the job is done, she will give me a hundred beryl stones!"

With that said, he turned his gaze toward Madam Yue.

"Beryl stones?"

Lin Caisang raised an eyebrow, also looking at Madam Yue.

"It seems, in Madam Yue’s eyes, our lives really are quite valuable, the Yue Clan is indeed wealthy."

Although beryl stones do not match up to pure crystals, the fact remains that Nanny Liu offered a hundred of them right away. Even though Madam Yue certainly had a hundred beryl stones, the fact she was willing to part with them on the spot indicated that she had made up her mind to put them to death.

"It can’t be, it can’t be."

Yue Tianhao was indeed a genius at swindling people, for even before anyone else spoke, he began muttering to himself again.

"Mother, what he said is false, right? How could you possibly hire someone to kill Big Brother? He is your own son, our blood brother. You could never do such a thing, could you?"

As he spoke, his eyes also sought out Old Madam Yue.

"Grandmother, there must be some misunderstanding. My mother wouldn’t do such a thing unless Big Brother wasn’t her son. Otherwise, how could she possibly hire someone to kill her own son?"

Yue Tianze at Yue Tianhao’s side: "..."

He really wanted to silence his Third Brother, but with so many people present and without Old Madam’s instruction, he could not just shut him up.

But what Third Brother said was truly outrageous. How could Big Brother not be their own mother’s son...

Suddenly, his complexion turned ashen, his gaze shifting unbelievingly toward Yue Chushui.

Previously, he just could not understand why, even though all were sons of their mother, she treated Big Brother so differently, even wishing for his death.

If Big Brother wasn’t her son, then her actions would make sense. She would not want the son of another woman to become the heir of the Yue Clan, aiming to eliminate obstacles for her own sons.

However, Big Brother was no pushover. He was protected by Grandmother, his maternal family, and had an impressive sister and brother-in-law.

So even though Mother had tried everything, she couldn’t harm him. In the end, she had only ensnared herself!

But this still didn’t add up. If Big Brother wasn’t her son, it made sense for Grandmother to protect him since he was the eldest grandson of the Yue Clan. But what about their maternal grandmother?

Why would their maternal grandmother protect someone with no blood of the Luo Family?

Could it be there was some other reason, or perhaps Big Brother had a deep connection with the Luo Clan?

"Shut your mouth!"

Old Madam Yue scolded Yue Tianhao.

"Luo Mianyi, the evidence is right here. Do you still wish to deny it?"

She turned her head, looking at Luo Mianyi, questioning her.

Yet Luo Mianyi was unfazed and even scoffed.

"Ha, what a joke. You say it’s evidence as if these drawings could prove anything."
