Ye Qianxuan returned to Ye's corpse sewing shop and couldn't help but frown when he saw the scene inside.

The man who was rummaging through the boxes also noticed Ye Qianxuan behind him, and a look of worry and sadness suddenly appeared on his face:

"Brother, are you okay?"

"I heard that you were about to be captured and used to sew demon corpses. I was very worried about you and came to see you."

This man was wearing a long silk gown, which formed a sharp contrast with Ye Qianxuan's cloth clothes!

He was none other than his younger brother, Ye Haomo, who had taken away his title of top scholar!

Looking at this harmless-looking brother, it was hard to imagine that this guy would resort to trickery to snatch away his title of number one scholar!

"Son, why bother caring about him? He's already mortal, just like your good-for-nothing father!"

Before Ye Qianxuan could respond, a very impolite remark came from the side.

The person who spoke was none other than Ye Qianxuan’s biological mother, Tang Xiaohui!

At this moment, Ye Qianxuan was broken off from engagement by Xia Ruoxi and was about to go to sew demon corpses. Tang Xiaohui no longer concealed her disgust for Ye Qianxuan.

It was as if what she saw was not her eldest son who had supported her for five years, but a mortal enemy!

Ye Haomo spoke for Ye Qianxuan:

"Mother, even though my brother was divorced by Sister Xia and is about to die tragically, he is still my biological brother..."

"A loser like him is not worthy of being your brother!" Tang Xiaohui interrupted Ye Haomo: "Haomo, you are just too kind!"

"You have to remember, you are the top scholar, so don't get involved with a loser like Ye Qianxuan, otherwise it will really lower your status!"

"But mother...ah..."

Ye Haomo seemed to be planning to persuade him again, but in the end he could only sigh helplessly and said to Ye Qianxuan apologetically: "Brother, don't mind it."

Ye Qianxuan had heard this kind of words many times before. The original owner actually always thought that his younger brother was a good person, and then he repeatedly gave all the hard-earned money he earned from sewing corpses to his younger brother!

But in the eyes of modern Ye Qianxuan, isn’t Ye Haomo just a green tea?

Ye Qianxuan ignored the two people who were singing the same tune, and just pointed outside the door and said coldly: "Why did you throw my things?"

"Ah?" Ye Haomo was stunned. He obviously didn't expect Ye Qianxuan to suddenly become so cold!

In the past, as long as he acted for a while, this silly brother of mine would be so eager to open his heart to him!

However, he didn't think much about it, just smiled and said, "I know that the Left Assistant Minister of Rites once gave you a jade pendant. I really like it, so I wanted to find it to play with. I'm sorry for messing up your things."

Ye Qianxuan raised his eyebrows: "Found it?"

"Ah? Found it." Ye Haomo showed the glutinous white jade pendant in his hand.

"Give it to me if you find it." Ye Qianxuan stretched out his hand directly.

"This..." Ye Haomo was stunned.

In the past, Ye Qianxuan would give me whatever I wanted!

what is it today!

No, he can’t. Tomorrow he will take part in the imperial examination and he will need this jade pendant to get the Left Vice Minister of Rites to say a few good words for him!

Ye Haomo suddenly showed some reluctance: "I heard that this jade pendant was given to you by the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites as a thank you for finishing the body of General Zhengbei after you sewed up his brother's body."

"I passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar, so I'm willing to borrow it. I'll return it after tomorrow's palace examination..."

"No." Ye Qianxuan shook his head without hesitation.

You stole my title of No. 1 Scholar, and now you want to steal my favor?

What the hell do you want to eat?!

"Ah? This..." Ye Haomo looked at his mother beside him for help.

Tang Xiaohui immediately scolded, "Ye Qianxuan, isn't it just a broken jade pendant? It's a blessing for this jade pendant that Hao Mo likes it. Don't be ungrateful!"

"I said I won't give it to you, and that's it." Ye Qianxuan raised his eyebrows and ignored Tang Xiaohui. Instead, he looked deeply at Ye Haomo.

"If you don't want to die, give it back to me!"

Ye Qianxuan stretched out a hand towards Ye Haomo, and a murderous intent suddenly burst out from his body!

Although Ye Qianxuan relied on the first of the seven Zhenwu techniques to reach the half-step external strength, how could this ordinary person, Ye Haomo, possibly withstand his murderous intent?!

Ye Haomo was so frightened that he took a few steps back, while Ye Qianxuan reached out and snatched the jade pendant back.

"Ye Qianxuan, what are you doing!"

Tang Xiaohui reacted and glared at Ye Qianxuan: "You've become so capable, haven't you? You actually took away the thing your brother likes! You're the older brother, don't you know how to give in to your younger brother!"

Facing his furious mother, Ye Qianxuan put away the jade pendant, his eyes calm, and he looked at Tang Xiaohui without hesitation: "This is mine, why should I give it to him!"

"Your stuff? I gave birth to you! Nothing of yours is mine!"

"Besides, you are about to die. I order you to return the jade pendant to your brother!"

Tang Xiaohui said this in a harsh voice, causing Ye Qianxuan to frown: "There's no way I can give him this jade pendant!"

"You are so unfilial!" Tang Xiaohui cursed!

Ye Qianxuan sneered: "I am unfilial today, what can you do to me?"

"You..." Tang Xiaohui was about to say something, but Ye Haomo beside her had already started to persuade her: "Mom, forget it."

"Even without that jade pendant, I can still pass the palace examination!"

"Since my brother is unwilling to give it to me, then I don't want it."

"Please don't let this hurt the mother-son relationship or damage your health."

After hearing this, Tang Xiaohui put her hands on her hips and pointed at Ye Qianxuan, saying, "Did you hear that? This is how a son of man should be! You've read so much that it's like a dog's stomach!"

"You're even spreading the word that your brother switched your exam papers while you were asleep and stole your title of top scorer. Bah!"

"How could a heartless loser like you possibly pass the imperial examination? How could you possibly be better than Hao Mo!"

Ye Haomo advised: "Mother... forget it..."

"What do you mean by 'count it?' We'll just wait here! Once he's caught and sewn up to death, all his things will be ours!" Tang Xiaohui said, hands on her hips, "You damned corpse-sewlager, are you worthy of being compared to Hao Mo, the top scholar?"

"Brother, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. Mother spoke a little bluntly. Please don't mind." Ye Haomo looked embarrassed.

At this time, a group of officials really came.

The man in the lead, wearing a navy blue robe, was none other than Uncle Fu, the chief steward of General Liu’s mansion!

Tang Xiaohui's eyes lit up, and there was also a hint of barely perceptible excitement in Ye Haomo's eyes.

Uncle Fu walked out from a group of knife-wielding officers, holding half of the general's order in his hand. The light on it drove the general's order in Ye Qianxuan's pocket to become completely bright!

At that moment, Uncle Fu's eyes lit up!

"So... you are the only successor the general mentioned!"

"I finally found you!"

Ye Qianxuan was confused. What do you mean by only successor?

Ye Haomo and Tang Xiaohui also looked stunned and didn't understand what was going on!

Wasn’t this Uncle Fu the one who captured Ye Qianxuan and had him sew up General Liu’s body?

"Uncle Fu, the chief steward of General Liu's mansion, respectfully welcomes the general's successor back to the throne!"

Uncle Fu was the first to kneel down with his hands clasped in front of him, and the officials from the general's mansion followed him and knelt on the ground in unison!

"I will definitely report this matter to His Majesty!"

"General Liu Zaidao, there is a successor!"

"Please follow me immediately and go to the palace to see the emperor!"

Uncle Fu looked at Ye Qianxuan with burning eyes, his eyes full of passion!

Although Ye Qianxuan didn't know what was going on, he was too lazy to face this disgusting mother and son, so he nodded and left with Uncle Fu!

"My brother... is actually the successor of General Liu?" Ye Haomo was full of confusion!

"Oh! What's the heir of General Liu? Uncle Fu must have made a mistake!" Tang Xiaohui sneered, "That useless piece of shit Ye Qianxuan is so weak, he'll be exposed when he meets His Majesty in the palace. We'll just have to wait and collect his corpse!"

"That jade pendant will still be yours then!"

Tang Xiaohui said as if she saw through everything, looking at Ye Qianxuan's back as if she was looking at a dead person!

"Alas... Brother, you are so foolish... How dare you pretend to be the general's heir..."

Although Ye Haomo's tone was regretful, the excitement in his eyes could no longer be concealed...
