Chapter 734: Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain

Outside the Liu Mansion, Hu Xiner walked out arrogantly, and turned around and ran into the young man sitting in the corner.

Zhao Si came running over, snowflakes fell on his rabbit fur cloak, and with his almond-shaped eyes, which were the standard of a classical handsome man, he looked completely different from the usual greedy peddler. He looked like a handsome fox demon, cunning and smart.

"Sister God of Wealth, did you succeed?" he said with a smile.

Hu Xin'er said proudly, "With me here, what can't be accomplished?"

She glanced at Zhao Si twice and smiled again, "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid your reputation will be even worse."

Zhao Si didn't care: "Zhao Yunhe throws dirty water on me all day long. He is so vulgar that he likes to eat with his hands. He likes to beat people in his dreams and even suffers from athlete's foot... I have long been used to it. Now it doesn't matter if I add the title of robbing a common girl."

"Zhao Yunxuan just watched you get bullied?" Hu Xin'er couldn't help but shake her head. "I've heard some of your scandals lately. No wonder he kept asking me to look after you before he left. I guess he wanted to train you, but he was also worried that something might happen to you."

When that man was mentioned, Zhao Si's face turned uneasy. "Humph, what does a monk like him know about the ways of the world? He just told me to endure it when things happened, and every day he made me run the household affairs, practice martial arts and study literature. If it weren't for Sister Caishen's order, those people wouldn't let me out!"

He spread out his hands and said aggrievedly, "Sister, look, my hands are all red."

"How is your godfather now?" Hu Xiner had no idea what Zhao Yunxuan was thinking, but thinking that teaching him these real skills could also hone Zhao Si's character, she smiled and changed the subject.

Zhao Si tilted his head and said, "Sister, please blow it for me..." with your hand.

Before he finished speaking, he shrank his neck and said with a begging smile: "Brother-in-law, please forgive me, I was just joking."

Mu Qing coughed lightly and said, "It's almost time to go back. Little Dumpling is waiting at home."

Several people got on the carriage, and Zhao Si also squeezed in.

He just smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, sister. The imperial physician came to the palace to treat my adoptive father's old illness. Now he eats well and sleeps well."

Mu Qing raised his eyebrows and wanted to chase him away.

It wasn't entirely out of jealousy, but because Zhao Si spoke like a duck and was extremely noisy.

Hu Xin'er found Zhao Si's personality quite amusing. She smiled and said, "Since Master Zhao is willing to treat your adoptive father, it means he cares about you. You just need to follow his instructions. I don't think he's a bad person."

Zhao Si held his chin in his hand and acted innocently: "I think my sister is really good at training her husband. Why don't you be kind and take him in as well?"

He blinked and said, "Then I am your legitimate brother, sister."

"Bang!" The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a person was thrown out from inside, falling heavily on the snow.

Zhao Si stood up, his face covered in dust, not feeling embarrassed at all. He took two steps before slapping his forehead and saying, "Oh no, I forgot to ask about the real thing."

Inside the carriage, Liu Yanchuo asked with concern, "Cousin, why did you want to introduce Yi'er to a marriage? I saw that Mr. Zhao Si is quite handsome, and I'm afraid marrying Yi'er would be unfair to him."

Hu Xin'er smiled and said, "Of course it's to rescue Old Master Liu."

"Oh?" Liu Yanchuo's eyes flashed with confusion. "Today, you deliberately angered the Liu mother and daughter, and acted as if you coveted their property, all in an effort to lower their guard. But what does this have to do with rescuing Grandfather?"

"We can't openly confront people like them now, because if they fight to the death, it will cause trouble for Yue'er." Hu Xin'er analyzed, "So, I plan to steal it secretly."

"You mean, you want to steal Grandfather out?" Liu Yanchuo was stunned. "But the Liu family is heavily guarded, and we can't deploy large-scale military forces in the capital. The Shadow Guards are also overwhelmed right now... How can we sneak him out?"

Hu Xin'er smiled confidently and said, "That depends on how much our lovely Miss Qingyi loves."

At the Liu Mansion, an old servant hurried into the lobby.

The Liu mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly. Old Mrs. Liu sat on the high hall with a dejected look on her face.

What they love most on a daily basis is to bully others and scheme for property, but when it is their turn to be bullied like this, they can't stand it the most.

The more vicious you are, the more imaginative you will be when facing desperate situations.

"She won't stop." Liu Zhi cried, "Mother, what should we do? That bitch said she only wants to divide up some of the property, but her real goal is definitely to team up with Chuo'er and kick us out. If we end up begging on the streets one day, how will my daughter survive?"

She used to be jealous of Hu Xin'er's family property and often secretly fantasized about taking over the comic book shop and leaving Hu Xin'er homeless on the streets. Now, this horrible fantasy is about to come true.

Old Madam Liu listened to the servant's report in silence. "You said, Zhao Si really was waiting at our gate, and even got into the same carriage with that bitch?"

The old slave quickly replied, "That's for sure, old lady. I saw with my own eyes that little bitch, surrounded by three men, getting into the same carriage. It was truly a scene of such splendour, surrounded by such beauties, and so immoral!"

Liu Qingyi stopped crying, opened her eyes wide, and asked, "Is the fourth young master Zhao handsome?"

"So what if he's good-looking? Mother had some thoughts about him when he returned to Beijing. But he has such bad habits, and he's teaming up with Hu Xin'er to harm us. How can he have a good ending?" Liu Zhi reached out and touched his daughter's silly forehead, but unexpectedly his overly long nails scratched her skin.

Liu Qingyi cried again in pain: "What should I do?"

Liu Zhi rubbed her forehead and took a deep breath. "If it really doesn't work, I'll send you out of the city to find the prince. We'll stay here to deal with that bitch. In any case, we must not let her take away our property."

Liu Qingyi pouted and said, "That bitch has always been jealous of the affection between me and the Crown Prince. Will she try to obstruct us on our way out of the city?"

"Then send more people to guard you." Liu Zhi said without thinking.

The next day, after hearing about the Liu family's actions, Hu Xiner stopped coaxing the child.

The fish is hooked.

She ordered, "Yunqiu, go find Master Liu and tell him I have something important to discuss with you."

The Liu family had just packed their luggage today because Liu Qingyi was so excited to go meet the Crown Prince and was clamoring for the best of everything, so everyone in the house was very tired.

Liu Zhi couldn't help but scold her daughter, but just as she was crying, she saw the old servant running in in shock: "Oh no, Madam, that Zhao Si must have heard the news from somewhere, and now he's rushing over here, trying to force the young lady into marriage."

"What?!" Liu Zhi's face changed drastically, and he quickly pulled his daughter out. "Let the old lady stay outside for a while, and we will escort Yi'er out of the city."

At this time, the city gate was about to close, and everyone didn't care about anything else. They stuffed Liu Qingyi into a sedan chair and left in a hurry.
