<strong>Chapter 1156: Chapter 1158: Excessive Indulgence</strong>


    If the investigation doesn’t uncover who was behind this, he will always carry the stigma of trying to poison his grandfather. Even if he gets out, he will still be scorned by others!


    Yuwen Kangli felt a bit down. He didn’t know what to do and wasn’t sure about what was happening outside.


    He really wanted to find someone who knew the outside situation to inquire, but he couldn’t think of anyone.


    He suddenly realized that, in the more than twenty years of his life, he had lived in vain, without even a single friend in the end.


    Yuwen Kangli returned to his bed in despair, lying down in depression, staring nkly into space.


    The cellmate looked at him and, feeling guilty, pped his own mouth, saying, “It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault for speaking nonsense with my big mouth.”


    Yuwen Kangli nced at him, then quietly asked, “Tell me, do you have any very good friends outside?”


    The man was stunned, clearly unsure why Yuwen Kangli was asking that.


    “Just answer my question. As for the reason, I’ll tell youter.”


    The man sighed softly, sitting on the ground with his back against the bed, looking ahead as if imagining something beyond the wall.


    “I used to have a very good brother.”


    “How good? Would he go through fire and water for you?” Yuwen Kangli asked curiously.


    The cellmate had his back turned, so Kangli couldn’t see his expression, but his words revealed a growing sense of loss.


    “Actually, many times I also wonder if he is truly my brother.”


    “What do you mean?”


    Yuwen Kangli looked at him puzzled, “A brother is a brother. Why make it soplicated?”


    The cellmate’s lips curled with bitterness, and he shook his head, saying, “Actually, I’m in here because of him, so I don’t know if he’s really my brother.”


    Yuwen Kangli’s lips twitched; when he first arrived, this guy told him an earth-shattering story, only to confess it was fake.


    Looking at the sadness on his face now, he suddenly felt a bit skeptical again.


    “Alright, alright, I don’t want to hear it anymore.”


    Yuwen Kangli waved his hand and said, “You know, if you tell meter that this is made up to fool me, my heart won’t be able to take it.”


    The cellmate said nothing, but his eyes reddened.


    This time, he wasn’t joking, nor was he lying. Everything he said was true.


    The man sighed; he didn’t want to share these sad stories in the first ce. Fortunately, Yuwen Kangli didn’t want to hear more, so he stopped talking.


    What started as one person’s depression turned into two people’s gloom.


    The whole afternoon, neither of them spoke again.


    Until evening, when someone came to visit the prison.


    Yuwen Kangli never expected the housekeeper toe in person.


    He was a little excited, grabbing the housekeeper’s hand and asking, “Housekeeper, how is the investigation on grandpa going? When can I get out?”


    The housekeeper saw that Yuwen Kangli had be haggard and lost weight, tears streaming down his face. He said, “I’m not very clear about the specific details of the investigation. I just came because I was worried about you, my pitiful Young Master, making you suffer.”


    “Suffering doesn’t matter, as long as we can catch Yuwen Kangshi! I can endure any hardship!”


    The housekeeper sighed deeply and said, “I know, all of this is Yuwen Kangshi’s doing, but now we don’t have any evidence, so we can only wait. The waiting process is long, so you must be patient.”


    Yuwen Kangli nodded. Initially, he was wondering if what the man said was true, that they were deliberately deceiving him, but now the housekeeper came to see him, naturally dispelling those thoughts.


    If they really wanted him to perish here, they wouldn’t treat him so well, nor would the housekeepere to see him.


    “Did Grandpa send you?”


    Yuwen Kangli asked.


    The housekeeper was stunned, then awkwardly smiled, “I came on my own. Honestly, I’m also very worried about the Old Master. I’m not there to take care of him and I’m really concerned.”


    Yuwen Kangli looked at him puzzled, “What do you mean? You’re not with Grandpa? Then who’s taking care of Grandpa? Where did you go?”


    A string of questions left the housekeeper unsure of how to exin.


    He sighed helplessly, “This is a long story, and when everythinges to light, you’ll naturally understand. I don’t have much time and can’t stay long. Seeing you’re alright makes me feel relieved. Don’t worry, I’ll inform the Old Master about your situation.”


    With that, the housekeeper left.


    Although puzzled, Yuwen Kangli felt much better than he had that day.


    The housekeeper sneaking to the prison to visit Yuwen Kangli was something even Chu Ge didn’t know about.


    The housekeeper was now staying in Chu Ge’s vi, and upon returning from prison, he saw Chu Ge standing at the door, waiting for him.


    The housekeeper felt a pang of guilt. He stepped forward apologetically, saying, “Mr. Chu, I’m truly sorry for visiting the prison without your permission. It’s just that…”


    Chu Ge smiled and said, “No harm, but I’m curious.”


    “About what?” The housekeeper was startled.


    “Why are you so concerned about Yuwen Kangli?”


    Chu Ge asked curiously, “Your level of concern raises doubts, makes people suspect your rtionship with him…”


    “No!” The housekeeper seemed to know what Chu Ge was insinuating. He quickly raised his gaze and firmly said, “The Young Master and I are just in a master-servant rtionship.”


    Chu Ge squinted his eyes, clearly disbelieving.


    The housekeeper sighed gently. Unsure of his own attitude toward Chu Ge, he exined, “Many people mistakenly think something is off about my rtionship with the Young Master, but we’re truly just master and servant. The reason I care for him so much, even as if treating him like my own son, is because his beating heart really is my son’s!”


    Saying this, a trace of sorrow crossed the housekeeper’s face.


    “The Young Master had poor health from a young age with heart disease. Because of his condition, he couldn’t y with other kids and gradually became somewhat introverted. He became irritable over time, but as the Old Master’s first grandson, he was greatly cherished. With his bad temper, he was overly pampered.”


    The housekeeper sighed, shaking his head helplessly. Had the Old Master not indulged him so much from an early age, he felt the Young Master wouldn’t have ended up where he is today!
