“If you are still not satisfied, you can beat him and scold him, but let him kowtow all the way to the Jokhang Temple… This is too harsh…”
“This road is nearly 4,000 kilometers. With his body, he can’t get to the place in three or four years…”
Charlie said coldly: “Some mistakes can be made, but some mistakes are not. He stretched out his hand to me and my family.”
“For this alone, I have a reason to kill him; and don’t forget, he owes me a life, and the two things add up.”
“I originally had no reason to keep him, but the reason I let him go is to give you face.”
“Furthermore, I also allowed him to take his entourage and a doctor. In this way, he can eat and live well at other times except for kowtow every day. This is already very favorable to him. What are you dissatisfied with?”
Zhiyu was asked by Charlie in return, and suddenly she didn’t know how to answer.
At this time, Charlie said again: “In addition, you have to figure out a little bit. Your brother is not like you or your mother in his heart. He is like your father.”
“He does not rely on feelings to stand in line, but on profit. If you want to become the Su Family Patriarch, he is a huge threat to you.”
“I let them both disappear temporarily for a few years. This is to ‘protect you out of the city and helping you get on the horse.’ Without them here, you can better use your abilities to fight for the power of the Su family!”
“If you can inherit the family within three years and have great power, your dad and your brother will come back at that time, and they will be there to follow you.”
“Then you will give them a little favor from the Su family’s big plate. Enough for them to live a life of good food and good living, just to sit back and relax!”
“But if I leave the two of them here, they will only become your enemy, your stumbling block, and they may even attack you for profit.”
“If I leave your brother, you are always overwhelmed by his status as the eldest son and grandson, and your brothers and sisters will definitely turn back because of their interests in the future!
“But I let him leave for three years, and when the new king is crowned, he will come back again. He will at that time be no longer your brother, but your courtier!”
“The courtier is in front of the emperor, and he wants to worship three times and nine times!”
