"I'm not feeling too well …"

Zheng Ji said softly, he did not lie.

After Zhong Wentao touched the alarm system, his entire body was in a bad state. Even if the old man told the other doctors to come over and check, they would definitely be able to reach the same conclusion.

"I'll have to trouble you to take care of my grandson."

The old man looked at Zhong Wentao as he coldly spoke, and carefully sized up Zhong Wentao's expression;

But if these two hadn't done it, who would have been able to enter her secret garden, who would have known of its existence?

In the entire Zheng Family, there were only two secret passages. One was in the study room, and the other was here.

The doubt on his face was not intentionally hidden, and Zhong Wentao could tell that he was suspecting it, but he did not mind.

The things in the cupboard had a little junior sister's pearl bracelet, which meant that the place Old Master Zheng obtained the bracelet was related to the junior sister, was related to the sect.

He wanted to take back what belonged to the Tai Yi Sect one by one. Maybe what he took was Grandpa Zheng Yu's inheritance, so as a descendant of the Tai Yi Sect, it was understandable for him to have obtained the bracelet.

However, he could not confirm that he needed more time.

The old man stayed there for a long time, and only left after Zheng Ji's body wasn't as ice-cold as before. When he left, he gave Zheng Ji a deep look, and obviously didn't have as much trust in this grandson of his.

Only when there was no sound from outside the door did Zhong Wentao ask Cheng Yang to come upstairs and confirm that the Old Master Zheng had completely left. Only then did they start to speak, the atmosphere in the room was extremely tense, even Cheng Yang had been infected.

"Did anything happen?"

Cheng Yang asked cautiously, his expression serious.

Zhong Wentao shook his head lightly.

Zheng Ji was extremely tired, and was about to fall asleep on the bed but didn't want to say anything.

"Call Zheng Yu back, he can't stay in Xiangjiang anymore."

Zhong Wentao said, and immediately followed along, and very quickly sent the message, but did not receive a reply.

The two of them didn't say much and just sat on the chairs, quietly waiting.

After going through the flower garden, Zhong Wentao was in a state of chaos.

He still did not understand the relationship between the Zheng Family and the Tai Yi Sect. Just understanding the affairs of the Zheng Family was already extremely difficult.

The sudden appearance of the secret garden made it impossible for Zhong Wentao to sit here peacefully anymore.

Although he knew that the Old Master Zheng was definitely not the culprit behind the Tai Yi Sect's murder, with all the treasures in the cupboard, the old man was the closest person to the culprits.

Thinking about it, Zhong Wentao suddenly opened his mouth: Have you ever been to the Yansai Temple's temple?

This question was directed at Zheng Ji. Zheng Ji was so sleepy that he could not immediately answer it.

After thinking hard for a long time, he nodded his head. He remembered that he had been there once before, when he was very young.

Zhong Wentao immediately became spirited and fed a brain awakening pill to Zheng Ji, allowing him to carefully recall the events that happened when he went to Yansai Temple.

It was just that Zheng Ji could not remember what happened that long ago, and did not want to disappoint Zhong Wentao either.

"What's the matter with you?"

Cheng Yang was a little uneasy. After leaving for just a short while, he had become so sensitive.

She looked at Zheng Ji, asking for an answer.

How would Zheng Ji know how to explain that? If he really said it out loud, he would have to tell everyone about the secret garden. Although he trusted Zhong Wentao, it did not mean that he had to tell this matter to everyone around Zhong Wentao.

If Cheng Yang said it, he would be killed!

Even if the old tutor hadn't found any evidence, he would still have suspected him.

As expected, before Cheng Yang could continue pursuing the matter, Zheng Qing had entered from the outside and sat further away to watch the three of them.

Even if Zheng Qing didn't know anything, just the fact that he was in cahoots with the old man made the three of them extremely cautious.

Zheng Ji was brothers with Zheng Qing, but his attitude made Zheng Qing feel bitter.

He was clearly a brother, but the three people in front of him seemed to be blood brothers. He was just an outsider.

"Brother, how is your body?"

Zheng Qing asked bitterly, and found an opening statement that was slightly better.

"Not so good."

"Yes," Zheng Ji replied softly. He didn't know when he became so distant from his little brother, as if he had been saved from falling into the ocean.

Perhaps he was just on the verge of death, and the people around him seemed to have become clearer. He knew that this little brother was different from him.

Cheng Yang sat on the chair with a cold face and massaged Zheng Ji's body according to his instructions. The three of them looked very harmonious, causing Zheng Qing to be even more jealous.

They were twins, but why was their treatment so different?

"Do you remember when we caught Zhou?"

Zheng Ji suddenly said, as if thinking back to the time he was born.

It was just that at that time, how could the child have any memories?

"What do you mean?"

Zheng Qing asked coldly, he had a bad feeling about this.

"Didn't you always think that Grandpa didn't like you?"

Zheng Ji persisted on saying: "Before, I also didn't understand, but later on I knew that in the Zhou Dynasty, I chose a brush, and you chose a seal."

"What does that mean?"

Cheng Yang asked curiously.

"That seal is not an ordinary one, it is the seal of the family head. Grandfather thinks that his ambition is too great, which is why he is being restrained. In fact, he dotes on me because I've chosen to write only with a brush."

"What kind of explanation is that?"

Even Zhong Wentao was confused.

Just because of what happened at Zhou's banquet, wasn't it too arbitrary to judge a child's future life?

Furthermore, it was normal for the Patriarch to choose more ambitious people, so why was Zheng Qing disliked instead?

"You don't understand."

Zheng Ji smiled and said: "My grandfather likes power, so the death of my father isn't an accident either. Although I don't have any evidence, I have suspected for so many years that my father is the successor of the next Patriarch, that he died a violent death when we were born, and my grandfather's attitude towards Zheng Qing is so bad, that there's only one possibility, and that is that he doesn't want to give up the authority in his hands, and that he will use the Patriarch's authority until his death."

"You're lying!"

Zheng Qing stood up abruptly, his face red, he did not believe these words.

Even if Old Master Zheng could live, there would still be a time when he would die a hundred years later. For the sake of power, wasn't it too laughable?

"Don't you understand?"

Zheng Ji laughed bitterly: "He thought that he could live forever, that's why he didn't let us touch any rights. The more serious my illness is, the better he would treat me, and the colder he would treat me, don't you know all this?"

"Enough!"

Zheng Qing could no longer bear to listen anymore.

He would definitely not believe this kind of lie. In his opinion, all of this was something that Zheng Ji said on purpose, and it wasn't reality at all, it definitely wasn't reality like this!

Watching Zheng Qing leave, Zheng Ji finally revealed a smile on his face.

"You did it on purpose?"

Zhong Wentao suddenly understood.

If Zheng Qing continued to stay here, it would be disadvantageous for them. Only by taking Zheng Qing away would they be able to make them feel a little more at ease, and the best method would be to let Zheng Qing leave on his own.

Looks like Zheng Ji wasn't as stupid as they had imagined. He had underestimated Zheng Ji.

"I'm telling the truth."

Zheng Ji laughed as he replied, with a complicated look in his eyes.

At the very least, Zheng Ji did not think that he could become the Patriarch of the Zheng Family. Zheng Qing was very suitable, but if the Old Master did not agree to it, no one could stop him.

This was also the thing that Zheng Qing was the most helpless of all. After doing so many things for the old man, he still could not get over it.

As for Zheng Qing, he regretted it the moment he left the place.

He hadn't finished what the old man had told him, but if he wanted to go back, he wasn't afraid of losing face. He was also a man, so he didn't want to be ridiculed by so many people.

The matter of seizing Zhou was not fake. He had heard that when he was young, he grabbed a seal, but he did not think about the matter behind the seal.

Even if Zheng Ji was lying, he still believed it faintly. If not, how could he explain the old man not liking him at all?

Fortunately, the old man had been hiding in the secret garden all this time, and didn't have the time to pay attention to what was happening up there. He also didn't know that this was the first time Zheng Qing didn't follow his orders to see someone, and had hidden away by himself instead.

A lot of things started from one accident to the next.

In the garden.

The old tutor stood in front of the cupboard by himself and was extremely sincere.

He looked carefully at the traces left on the cabinet and the obvious fingerprints on it. He was sure that someone had come here and seen his cabinet as well as the contents inside.

If this person revealed this matter, many people would covet his treasure.

Only after carefully examining the marks on his fingers many times did the old man wipe them away. He planned to pay attention to everyone in the house and see what their fingerprints looked like.

Zhong Wentao did not remember about the fingerprints, he only thought about how to find out about the past affairs of the Zheng Family. He decided to ask about it after Zheng Yu returns, since he did not know that he had left any clues.

Fingerprints were something special that a person would get drunk on and leave behind in several places. As long as the old man saw his hands, he would definitely know that it was done by him.

But he had run away so fast that he had forgotten about the alarm system when his finger touched the cabinet.

There were a lot of flowers and plants in the garden that had bewitching properties. Being excited, and smelling the fragrance, it was understandable for Zhong Wentao to be not very clear-headed.

Who would have thought that the old man would be so cautious? He wasn't even at ease with a big lock, and he even had to come up with an alarm system that was even more advanced than the bank vault's.

Zheng Ji also did not notice this detail, he had never touched the cabinet before, and did not know if there would be any fingerprints left on it. He was also not curious about how the alarm system rang.

Therefore, no one had expected this to happen.

No one had expected that the lordmaster would have a backup plan.
