[A marquis father, an empress mother, a mad uncle, and a cheat ability of his own!]
Chen Qi transmigrated into the body of a cowherd boy. After three years of eating coarse corn buns, he finally learned he was the long-lost son of the Jing'an Marquis's household.
Full of anticipation, he went to claim his family, only to be stopped at the door by his ten-year-old younger brother.
“You were away from home for years. What gives you the right to come back and take my second brother's courtyard?”
The more Chen Qi listened, the more something felt off. Older by a few years? Born to the principal wife?
Did that mean he was both the eldest son and the legitimate heir?
He snapped off a branch and smiled brightly. “You said it yourself: I'm both the eldest and the legitimate heir.”
One whack later, the little tyrant of the marquis's household was crying for his parents and clinging to Chen Qi's leg, calling him Grandpa.
Afterward, even his grandmother praised him: “Our Qi'er is such a sensible boy.”
His stepmother personally made soup, and when she served it, she gave the first bowl to him instead of her own daughter.
His little sister hid behind the door the first time they met, too scared to come out. Three days later, she was practically glued to him, following him everywhere.
He'd thought that being a spoiled young master who lived off his family and waited to die would be good enough. But then
That very night, his father donned his armor and stormed into the palace to stand up to the emperor!!!
His uncle stayed up writing a memorial for him until the third watch.
His teacher, outwardly aloof, turned around and delivered a whole collection of evidence exposing twenty years of the Sun family's crimes.
Even the hapless younger brother he'd beaten started trailing after him, calling him Big Brother.
Chen Qi: “Wait. Weren't noble households supposed to be deep as the sea? How did I become the darling of the whole family?”
Then the Second Prince rode through the streets, injuring someone and killing a witness to cover it up.
Chen Qi slapped a written complaint on the table at Kaifeng Prefecture and shook the heavens.
The emperor could no longer sit still. “Chen Qi, come to the palace and face me!”
Chen Qi straightened his collar and smiled.
He wanted Chen Qi to go see the emperor?
