Chen Yan's method of seeking revenge against Zhao Qingtian was simple and direct.
That was to: precisely target the current situation of the Zhao Family.
From the incident involving Zhao Xuan, as well as the information provided by the He family to Chen Yan, it was clear that Zhao Qingtian had been centralizing power within the Zhao family, subsuming the authority of various branches to strengthen the main house.
The branches were not without their own power, and they had a lot of objections.
However, since Zhao Qingtian controlled the overall situation, and advanced his agenda steadily, like slowly boiling a frog, all the while acting cautiously and without leaving any leverage against himself,
the branches did not have much of an avenue to counterattack. They could only be gradually eroded.
But that didn't mean they had no will to resist.
