He was well aware of the Old Marquis's keen interest in his third brother's abilities and his grandmother's lineage, the Lin family.
In the influential circles of the capital, it was clear that only by forging alliances could one attain a higher and more secure position.
The analysis provided by Third Brother was astute: Their biological grandfather had unquestionably been self-serving. His past actions had been egregiously unjust towards their grandmother and father.
He had wedded the legitimate daughter of the Lin family with the sole aim of gaining access to the Lin family's influence. His union with an equal wife had been driven by his professed love, with the intention of elevating his beloved to a higher status.
Once the first wife bore him an heir, he completely disregarded her, causing immense sorrow to their grandmother.
