Leaving Chunhui Hall, Song Zhiyuan's expression was very unpleasant, truly because Song Zhiqing's behavior was infuriating and disappointing. To think he fought with his legitimate wife just to have his illegitimate children recognized under his name, it's a shame for someone supposedly learned and reasonable.
However, Song Zhiyuan did not call Song Zhiqing for a reprimand, but simply followed Song Ci's suggestion to have someone investigate Bai Shuilian's past, leaving no stone unturned.
Song Zhiyuan's silence left the concerned party, Song Zhiqing, somewhat surprised, but more so guilty and terrified.
Angering his legitimate mother almost to the point of a mishap, as the eldest son, and head of the family, it was impossible for him to turn a blind eye.
Could the elder brother be holding back for a big move?
Such is the nature of fear and dread of unknown danger, like a hanging sword poised over the head, uncertain of when it may fall.
Better to get it over with swiftly.
