Chapter 496 - Chapter 496: Jealousy (1)_1

Xiao Ruiyuan came from the Hou Mansion. Despite having a heartless father with little affection for him, his grandfather, the old Lord Wei Yuan, was exceedingly affectionate towards his legitimate eldest grandson. Against his only son and daughter-in-law's opposition, he took the boy under his wing and raised him personally. Otherwise, even if Xiao Ruiyuan were exceptionally talented, had he fallen into the hands of his stepmother, it would have been uncertain whether he could survive to adulthood, let alone become the revered Great General respected by those in power today.
