How could Wei Zizhan possibly let him go?
That was the County Magistrate!
His position was much higher than his brother's!
He was usually disliked by his brother because he was a b*stard son. However, out of respect for his brother, he still brought him to Heshi County. If the County Magistrate came, his brother would hate on him even more, regardless of whether he had taken the jade pendant or not.
He would not have a good life in this house if this happened.
Thinking of this, Wei Zizhan, who was still a child, was scared to bits. He quickly pulled Ah Zhong and cried, "I really don't have that jade pendant. I took it, but I pawned it. I pawned it a long time ago. I don't have the money to redeem it."
Because his brother, the legitimate son, had become an official, the family had planned to give all their wealth to his brother, so they naturally spent less on him.
He never had that much money.
