"Father, think about it. Wen'er is talented, and once he becomes an official, he'll undoubtedly work for the welfare of the people. But talented individuals often attract the envy and malice of others who might plot against him from behind the scenes. These dangers are often unavoidable. And if the plotters succeed, and we are undivided as a household, the entire family would then be implicated. But if we have already separated, not only would my brothers not be dragged down, they might also be able to help clear our name and seek justice from outside. This would pave the way for a comeback for Wen'er to rise again. Doesn't it come across as a well-thought-out strategy, both offensive and defensive?"
