Chapter 171 The whole family eavesdropped
Zhao Antai, who was confused, immediately stood up and followed: "Xiaoxiao, wait for grandpa, don't fall alone!"
They actually forgot that Xiaoxiao could communicate with everything. How could he miss such a good opportunity to eavesdrop?
Xu also reacted and stood up and said: "I have been sitting all day today, and my whole body aches. I should go out for a walk!"
"Then I will go too!" Zhao Wanyue also hurriedly followed.
Qian thought that they all disliked her and was very angry. She cried and said, "Such a big thing happened to Hongye, there is no hope for him to turn over. You all ignore him and just surround Xiaoxiao. How am I supposed to live in the future?"
Xu was furious and scolded, "The matter has not been concluded yet. Why are you crying here? Hongye has done the right thing and the truth will surely come out!" Zhao Antai ,
who never cared about the affairs of the rear house, couldn't help but say, "You should stay at home for the next few days and don't go out and believe everything you hear!" Zhao
Antai's original intention was that Qian was not smart enough and would inevitably be used by someone with ulterior motives if she went out, so he let her stay at home.
But when Qian heard this, she felt that Zhao Hongye was definitely hopeless, and the Zhao family was afraid that she would go back to her parents' home and never come back.
She was not that stupid, if something really happened to Zhao Hongye, she would definitely not stay in this family.
Zhao Antai and the others had no time to care about Qian's little tricks, they had to eavesdrop on the news that Su Xiaoxiao had found out.
Su Xiaoxiao frowned, held the milk bottle, and walked out of the house in small steps. She sat down on a stone in the garden.
The gentle breeze blew across Su Xiaoxiao's cheek, as if greeting her.
Su Xiaoxiao raised her face, closed her eyes, and began to communicate with the wind in her unique way.
[Feng'er, Feng'er, help me find out who framed the Minister of Works Zhao Hongye.]
Su Xiaoxiao's inner voice echoed, and she felt the wind blowing harder.
[Okay, I'll wait for your news!] Su Xiaoxiao stretched out her little hand and let the wind pass through her fingertips.
Zhao Wanyue and the others didn't dare to move, for fear of disturbing Su Xiaoxiao.
Who knew that Su Xiaoxiao was attracted by a group of ants on the ground, bent down, and stared at the ants carrying a bug that was many times larger than their bodies.
She stared for a long while, and Xu became a little anxious: "Wanyue, could it be that Xiaoxiao has forgotten the important matter?"
Zhao Wanyue was unsure, but she couldn't ask directly, so she could only worry.
Zhao Antai was still able to keep his composure. He said slowly, "The eldest brother is there, and it's so far away from the capital that it will take at least ten days or half a month to get there at full speed. How can we get news so soon?"
Xu was slightly relieved, but immediately became worried again, "In this case, when can we get the news?"
Zhao Antai comforted her, "The wind is always faster than horses and carriages. Besides, didn't the second brother go out to get news early in the morning? Let's not panic."
Although he said this, Zhao Antai was still uneasy. Zhao Hongye was cautious and Xiaoxiao had reminded him in advance about the raw materials. If something happened, the other party was determined to harm him.
Soon, Zhao Hongjing came back with his head down and a sad face. Xu asked hurriedly: "How is it? Is there any progress?"
Zhao Hongjing looked grim: "Don't mention it. There is no progress yet. The fact that my elder brother embezzled disaster relief funds and used substandard materials to build the levee has been spread to everyone. Those who usually call me brothers are avoiding me like the plague today, and I can't get any information at all. Father, why don't you go and find out what the emperor means."
Zhao Antai shook his head and said: "The emperor hates greedy people the most. Your elder brother is one of them. It is solid evidence. If I go, it will only make the emperor more angry and I can't help him. What a hurry!"
Zhao Hongjing looked worried: "Then according to your father's meaning, you don't care about my elder brother's life or death?"
Zhao Antai looked at his son heavily and said: "Now we have to find evidence to prove that your elder brother is innocent, otherwise, it will be in vain to ask anyone for mercy!"
Zhao Hongjing immediately said: "Father, then I will go to the disaster area today and look for evidence myself!"
His wife Li Yunshu came over with the child in her arms, and said jokingly: "With your gentle appearance, you will be exhausted before you even get to the disaster area. What evidence are you looking for? You stay at home to take care of the children, I'll go!" When
Zhao Hongjing saw Li Yunshu, even his eyes became gentle.
He hurried over to support Li Yunshu, and said softly: "The child can't leave you, I'll go!"
Xu and Zhao Antai also said: "He is a man, he should go to run for his elder brother, you should stay at home to take care of the child!"
Zhao Wanyue didn't say anything, it's not that she looked down on her second brother, it's really that Zhao Hongjing was too weak, just a trip to the disaster area could cost him his life, not to mention fighting wits and courage with the enemy to find evidence.
The second sister-in-law was born in the underworld, with strong martial arts, rough but delicate, she is a good candidate, but the little niece is still breastfeeding, so it's not appropriate for her to go.
The parents are obviously embarrassed because of this.
Zhao Hongjing rarely showed his manliness and said, "Don't worry, my lady. Send me two guards. I can do it!"
Zhao Antai was relieved. This good-for-nothing guy finally made some progress.
Xu was worried. Can Hongjing really do it?
Just when everyone was in trouble, a skylark flew over and landed beside Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand and the skylark fell into her hand. The Zhao family was no longer surprised. Su Xiaoxiao seemed to have an extraordinary affinity for animals.
The little man and the little bird, the picture looked as harmonious as possible, a peaceful and quiet look.
But Su Xiaoxiao's thoughts were different: [Your eldest master, I felt sorry for the extinction of the Wang family, so I showed mercy and wanted Wang Duozi to live a few more days. If he gave up his evil ways and turned to good, I could still find a way to give him a son to continue the Wang family bloodline. He was so mean that he set his sights on my uncle. I can't tolerate him now or later! ]
Zhao Wanyue and her father looked at each other.
It turned out that it was Wang Duozi who did it. No wonder, Wang Duozi was the Minister of Works, and his father Wang Miao was the Minister of the Central Secretariat. They had a lot of connections, so it was much easier for them to act.
But how he acted and who was involved in the process needed to be figured out.
The whole family seemed to be frozen, all waiting to hear what Su Xiaoxiao would say next.
Only Zhao Hongjing focused on Xiaoxiao's words, trying hard to figure out what she was saying.
Li Yunshu, who has no blood relationship with Su Xiaoxiao, could not hear Su Xiaoxiao's inner voice, and stared blankly at her family's strange behavior.
Sure enough, Su Xiaoxiao's inner voice rang again: [I knew that my uncle was not so easy to fool. They are really crazy and went to such great lengths to frame my uncle.]
