Chapter 444: Mi Family Expansion

Xu Qianrong was extremely frightened, and in a fit of desperation, she framed Hu Ling.

Hu Ling didn't even look at her, but she cried and accused him of seducing her. She was terrified and hurriedly dodged and avoided him, not paying any attention to Hu Ling.

This was such a ridiculous and obviously fake statement, yet Young Master Mi believed it!

Perhaps, Young Master Mi would love for her to say so.

Hu Ling was from the Zhao family, a rivalry between the Zhao and Mi families. His mother, sister-in-law, and wife had gone to the palace to pay their respects to the Imperial Concubine, who had infuriated the Zhao family. The wife of the Crown Prince of Liguo's residence didn't even take the Imperial Concubine seriously! She also didn't take the Mi family seriously!

The Mi family of Duke Liguo’s Mansion cannot be offended for the time being, but what is the Zhao family?

Don't talk about being a big shot in front of the emperor. After all, I'm just a minister!

The Mi family is different. They are relatives of the emperor!

How could the emperor not know what was more important?

Furthermore, it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to test the emperor's attitude.

I just don't believe it. Even if the emperor wants to win over Zhao Xiang and show him favor, will he protect Hu Ling, Zhao Xiang's nominal adopted son but actually a slave?

Even if the emperor intends to protect her, he will be reasonable, right? This is not something the Mi family is looking for. It was Hu Ling, that reckless person, who seduced the Mi family's concubine!

I don’t know who is relying on this power, it’s totally lawless!

If this doesn't deserve severe punishment, what should?

So, the eldest and second young masters of the Mi family went to the Zhao family together to cause trouble.

"That bitch Hu Ling actually dared to seduce my aunt. He's so corrupt and morally depraved. Shouldn't I be holding him accountable? Madam Deng, please hand him over! Don't make things too awkward!"

"Although our Mi family isn't as powerful or influential as the Zhao family, we're not someone who can be bullied by anyone. We will never forgive Hu Ling! Otherwise, what will become of our Mi family?"

"Madam Deng, even for the sake of the Imperial Concubine, please think twice! What is the real purpose of Madam Deng protecting such a cunning servant?"

"Hmph, I'm putting it out there, we must take Hu Ling away!"

“That’s right!”

Deng was so annoyed by the brothers' quarrel that she didn't budge. "Hu Ling isn't a servant. He's my and my adopted son. He would never do such a thing. There must be something behind this. Let's wait until my master returns. There's no need for you two to be so anxious."

Young Master Mi blushed and yelled, "Our Mi family has been bullied, and we're not allowed to worry? Ha, Madam Deng is so good at sitting back and talking!"

Widow Qu slammed the table and scolded, "What are you yelling about! My sister is a first-rank imperial consort, what about you? Huh? What are you yelling about in front of her? Besides, she is still an elder, right? You Mi family are really arrogant!"

"you--"

"My son-in-law and my daughter have a good relationship, and you guys are slandering them for no reason!"

The Second Young Master Mi was furious: "Who said it was slander? This is clearly the truth, Xu said it herself!"

Widow Qu became even more angry after hearing this. "What Xu? What said it herself? How can this count? Does it mean that your concubine has the final say in everything? Your concubine is so powerful!"

"You're just making up stories! If it wasn't true, would we have come to your house? Madam Qu, you're not such a protective person!"

Widow Qu grew increasingly angry. How could she not know what kind of person Hu Ling was? If she hadn't been loyal and righteous, she wouldn't have willingly accompanied the Zhao family on this long journey of exile when she saw no way forward.

Her eyes were never wrong when judging people, and she knew exactly how he felt about her daughter.

What ex-fiancée? How could Hu Ling still care about her?

Not to mention that this so-called ex-fiancée is already married.

"Hmph, who knows what you're thinking about coming here? You know it all in your hearts! I can make a wild guess, but it's just that you've become rich now, and you want to show off your power and let others know how great you are now! But you shouldn't use such an excuse, and it's so shameless!"

Isn't it just that the Zhao family refuses to accept the Mi family's solicitation? The Mi family is deliberately looking for trouble.

Zhao Liya and Deng had both said it, so Widow Qu naturally knew something about it.

It's funny to say that the Mi family is still so enthusiastic. You know, the eldest prince has no relationship with them in name only now. If the eldest prince is still under the name of Concubine Mi, then wouldn't their whole family be in vain?

However, Widow Qu was not in a position to say anything regarding the eldest prince and Concubine Mi.

Even so, the eldest and second young masters Mi were furious. "Madam Qu, what do you mean by this? We are asking for justice, how can it be considered showing off? What are we showing off? Is the threshold of the Zhao family so high? Is it so difficult for us to ask for justice! I won't waste my time on you. Where is Hu Ling? Call him out? He has the guts to act but not the guts to admit it!"

"you--"

"The two Young Masters Mi are so arrogant in my house. I wonder what their intentions are?" Zhao Xiang said as he came in from outside, looking very unhappy.

His tone was indifferent, and his expression was also indifferent, but Young Master Mi Da and Young Master Mi Er felt a little shorter for no reason.

Young Master Mi worked hard to prepare himself mentally, trying not to appear too ashamed in front of Lord Zhao. He straightened his back, subconsciously restrained himself a little, and imitated Zhao Xiang's words, saying lightly: "Lord Zhao, you are finally back! We came here to seek justice, but unfortunately, there are people who are completely unreasonable, full of nonsense and nonsense! It really makes us angry! Lord Zhao seems different from them, why don't we hear what Lord Zhao has to say about this matter!"

Widow Qu was furious and was about to slam the table, but Mrs. Deng winked at her and shook her head slightly. Widow Qu groaned softly and gritted her teeth to hold it in.

She just watches!

Zhao Xiang smiled and said calmly, "You two Young Masters Mi, are you asking for justice? I overheard a few words on the way back. Was it about my adopted son Hu Ling? We can't just listen to one side of the story. We have to listen to what our Ah Ling has to say as well. Ah Ling, come in."

"Godfather!" Hu Ling was already at a loss for words. After coming in and greeting the elders, he took one look at the angry second young master of the Mi family and felt even more disgusted.

He really didn't check the almanac before going out, and disaster struck him. How could he have run into such a thing? Not only was he disgusted, but he also felt guilty, guilty towards his wife and his adoptive parents.

If it weren't for him, the Zhao family wouldn't have been so vulnerable.
