Chapter 388 I Will Not Forgive

Zhao Liya said bluntly: "Dad, those people's faces are so hateful, you didn't see it, it's obviously them who wronged us, and when they first came to our house, they actually put on airs and blamed Mom, trying to teach her a lesson!"

"They wanted to expel us from the clan, so they expelled us. Now that they saw the benefits, they want us to go back. How could it be so easy? Besides, if they had any conscience, they wouldn't wait until now to come to our door. We would have returned to the capital long ago! At that time, the situation in the court was uncertain, and it was still unclear whether Dad could really come to the fore. They pretended to know nothing, and no one came to our door to say a word. Now that the overall situation is stable, Dad has really become a favorite of the new emperor, and they immediately thought of Dad. Such a person, is he worthy of being a member of the clan? He is a blood-sucking worm! Dad, you must not be soft-hearted!"

Zhao Xiang and Deng couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

Mrs. Deng sighed and laughed, "I was so angry when I saw those people today. I finally felt better after the outburst. But now after hearing what Ya'er said, I realized I was too polite to them today!"

Isn't that extremely shameless?

Zhao Xiang and his family had already returned to Beijing a long time ago. They pretended to be deaf and dumb until they came to visit them now. What else don’t they understand?

Zhao Xiang nodded and smiled faintly, "Don't worry, Dad isn't that foolish. I've seen the fickleness of the world and have long since made peace with those people in the Zhao family. Dad won't be soft-hearted towards them. There's no turning back on this matter!"

He had never been a pushover. He had been willing to look after the Zhao family because it was his clan, because they were harmonious, and because they were kind to his family.

But I didn’t expect that it was all wrong!

Since he knows it is wrong, he will naturally not make the same mistake again.

Zhao Liya was relieved and said with a smile, "I feel relieved now that Dad said that!"

Zhou Hansheng soon learned about the visitor from the Zhao family, and he was naturally filled with indignation.

"Do you want me to teach them a lesson?"

He had at least a hundred ways to teach the Zhao family a lesson.

Zhao Liya thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Not really. Dad and Mom mean to no longer have anything to do with them and just treat them as strangers. However, there's no guarantee they'll think the same way. Can you help me get a few people to keep an eye on them?"

"Alright! I'll keep a close eye on them. If there's any movement, don't even think about hiding it from me!"

"Um!"

The Zhao family was indeed unwilling to accept this.

Soon, the two brothers of Master Zhao went to the gate of the yamen to block Zhao Xiang. They spoke earnestly and tearfully, and were as sentimental as they could be. In short, the clan had no choice but to do so. In order to preserve the hundreds of people in the clan, they had to give up on them.

Expelling them from the tribe was actually just a temporary measure, and the tribe had never really thought of doing so.

Now that they are finally back, wouldn’t it be nice if everyone is happy?

With the clan as his backing, no one dares to look down on him, right? If the clan members become successful, they will also be his arms in the future.

Isn't this better than him fighting alone?

Mr. Zhao Er was even more interesting. He gave several examples. In ancient times, many families, in order to avoid being implicated in the clan, took the initiative to temporarily sever ties with the clan.

Zhao Xiang almost laughed out loud when he heard this! This was his clan, the people he had cared for for so many years!

Each one of them is shameless to the extreme.

At this point, not only do they not realize their mistakes, but they also hint at their own ignorance.

This is really interesting!

Seeing that Zhao Xiang remained unmoved, the two Zhao brothers finally couldn't bear it anymore. They gritted their teeth and vaguely revealed the identity of the Second Prince and Concubine Yan and her son, saying that the clan didn't actually have that intention at the time, and it was the Second Prince and Concubine Yan and her son who sent someone to pass on the message. At that time, they were so majestic and powerful that even if the clan had a hundred guts, they would not dare to offend them!

That's why I did that and why I didn't even dare to send them gifts.

Zhao Xiang believed that they were telling the truth.

But, so what?

Is that worth forgiving?

If they were to have the chance to do so again in the future, they would still choose profit over conscience.

Since he knew it would be like this, how could he possibly forgive them?

Besides, the Second Prince and Concubine Yan were not so idle and would not take them seriously at all. If they really had to expel their family from the clan, couldn't they secretly see them off and even chat with them on the way?

The truth is, nothing!

Zhao Xiang listened to their complaints calmly and indifferently, and watched their performance quietly. In the end, he had the same words to say to them as he did to Zhao Liya and her daughter: Stay away from our house, everyone has their own way, and don't interfere with each other. If you continue to bother me, don't blame me for being rude!

The Zhao brothers did not expect that Zhao Xiang, who had always been reasonable, would change like this. They were angry and scared and went back in shame.

The Zhao clan leader was also very angry and aggrieved.

He is very concerned about his reputation and cannot lose the dignity of the patriarch.

However, Zhao Xiang's attitude made him very uneasy. He was afraid that Zhao Xiang would deliberately make things difficult for his grandson's future. He was even more afraid that Zhao Xiang would say he didn't interfere with others' business but would actually bear a grudge in his heart.

Moreover, because of this incident, more and more people in the clan have opinions about him, and the position of the clan leader may be a little unstable.

Especially at the beginning, when Zhao Xiang got into trouble, many people disagreed with being so cruel and ruthless. It was he who, against all odds, issued an order that no one was allowed to contact Zhao Xiang's family, otherwise they would be expelled from the clan.

Now, he's been slapped in the face

The Zhao clan leader gritted his teeth and finally decided to go all out.

He should go to Zhao Xiang in person to apologize! Wouldn't that be enough to save Zhao Xiang's face? Shouldn't he be satisfied now?

The head of the Zhao family naturally didn't have the face to block Zhao Xiang at the yamen gate, so he went to Zhao's mansion again.

Zhao Xiang met him, but his attitude remained unchanged.

There is no way to take back the water that has been poured out. No matter who comes from the Zhao family, it will not have any influence on him.

Everyone is responsible for his or her own actions. Just because you say you regret it doesn’t mean others have to forgive you!

Then continue to let you suck blood!

Seeing that there was no hope, the Zhao clan leader could only leave with a wry smile.

As for the future of the clan, there is nothing we can do except leave it to fate.

He is a sinner.

His whole family has been hated to death by the clan!

Originally, the matter would have ended there, but unexpectedly, the second and third wives of the Duke of Liguo's Mansion found out about it.

The second and third wives were overjoyed and immediately discussed with Old Lady Zhou whether they could use this incident to cause trouble for the Zhao family and, at the same time, for the first wife of the Duke's Mansion.

It would be even better if this could disrupt the marriage between Zhou Hansheng and Zhao Liya!
