After glancing at Chu Beiqing, Chu Tianyi let out a cold sneer.
In front of Chu Beiqing, the skin was intact, save for his ragged clothes. What of that? Chu Beiqing was a fool—dressing him in fine clothes would be a waste.
"What does that prove? If Beiqing's daily necessities aren't sufficient, he need only speak up—it's all within the family, why quibble over such trivial matters?"
The great-uncle expressed dissatisfaction, and the other two uncles echoed his sentiments, all with a tone that encouraged reconciliation rather than division.
In the Imperial Study Room of the Longteng Palace, Emperor Longteng was reviewing memorials.
"Your Majesty, news from the Chu Mansion. The little miss of the Chu Family has just brought Chu Beiqing back home, stating she wants to divide the family."
The eunuch by his side spoke.
Emperor Longteng paused briefly with the memorial in hand, then continued his review.
"That young one does have some ability."
