This year, the capital was showered with spring downpours. It had just rained two days ago, and tonight thunder and lightning had started again.

Qin Hai had just come out of the gambling house. He’d forgotten to bring an umbrella and frowned deeply at the fickle sky.

He hurried toward his carriage.

The moment he lifted the curtain, the heavens split open, and a torrential downpour came crashing down.

“Good thing I ran fast!”

He grinned smugly, brushed his wide sleeve, and plopped onto the seat.

But with a thud, he toppled off the chair!

“B-Big Brother?!”

He nearly died of fright.

Why on earth was his big brother in the carriage?!

Qin Canglan sat there like a god of slaughter, his eyes blazing with killing intent.

“So you do remember I’m your big brother!”

Cold sweat streamed down Qin Hai’s back.

He swallowed hard, scrambled up, and shrank as far away from his older brother as he could, almost falling out of the carriage altogether.

He asked nervously, trembling all over:

“B-Big Brother, what are you doing? Weren’t you… feeling unwell lately, resting at home? Why… why are you here… did you come to arrest me?”

Qin Canglan said coldly:

“You know very well what you’ve done. You’d better confess honestly!”

“I…” Qin Hai glanced toward the gambling house, then said sheepishly,

“I just couldn’t hold back… so I went in for a few rounds. I swear, I’ve really changed a lot these past two years. It’s been so long since I last went gambling… it was only this one time… and you happened to catch me!”

Qin Canglan’s eyes turned icy cold.

“I’ll deal with your gambling debts later! What I came here for today… is to ask you: Tell me the truth about Ruan Xianglian and Qin Che!”

Qin Hai’s eyes flickered.

Qin Canglan slammed his palm down on the table.

“Now you didn’t dare to confess? Qin Hai! Do you want me to hand you over to His Majesty for punishment?”

Qin Hai’s face changed. “Big Brother!”

Qin Canglan pointed at his nose and scolded:

“Don’t think you’ve covered everything up so perfectly. What you did back then, your filthy deeds, have long since been discovered!”

Qin Hai’s legs gave way, and he fell to his knees inside the carriage, begging Qin Canglan with terror in his eyes:

“Big Brother… I… I didn’t mean it… I was confused for a moment… that’s why I ended up with Xianglian…”

Qin Canglan hadn’t expected him to concede easily.

Sometimes the clues were right there before his eyes, but he had been blind all along.

At this moment, he didn’t know whether to blame himself more, or to blame the instigator.

He looked at Qin Hai with utter disappointment.

“So it’s true that you and Ruan Xianglian had an affair. Qin Che is your flesh and blood, isn’t he?! How could our Qin family produce such a disgrace! You’re coming with me to see His Majesty! In front of him, you will confess everything you did back then!”

Qin Hai grabbed his brother’s leg.

“Big Brother, I was wrong! Please don’t make me face the emperor! I truly know I was wrong… I’m begging you!”

Qin Canglan clenched his fists tightly.

“Do you think a single apology is enough? Though we weren’t born of the same mother, I never treated you unfairly. After I lost my son, I even considered passing the title of Duke Protector to you… but I never imagined that you would stab me in the back like this! Tell me, were you the mastermind behind the accident that killed Huayin and Cheng’er…?”

*Cheng’er is the pet name of Qin Che

Qin Hai froze.

“Big Brother, what are you saying?”

Qin Canglan roared with rage:

“Still denying it?! For the sake of your and Ruan Xianglian’s bastard son’s future, you would go so far as to harm your own sister-in-law and nephew? Qin Hai, you have no conscience!”

“I didn’t harm Sister-in-law and Cheng’er!”

Qin Hai knelt and straightened his body, raising his hand to swear.

“I swear to Heaven, I never intended to hurt them…”

Qin Canglan snapped:

“Never intended? Then you admit you did harm them!”

“I… I…” Qin Hai’s eyes turned red. He clutched his head and crouched low to the ground.

“I… I don’t know…”
