Zhao Shu was absent from home as he was paying his respects to his deceased mother, with the possibility of returning at any moment.
The two brothers were well aware that they needed to secure control over the family's core assets before Zhao Shu's return, in accordance with Ms. Qin's intentions. However, the competition for heirship was intense, as everyone harbored aspirations for the position.
