Chapter 185 The Useless Zhao Hongye

Zhao Wanyue and Su Lingxi looked at each other. What Xiaoxiao said must be true. She didn't expect Xue Ruoxue to be so cruel to her.

Although Xiaoxiao has always said that Xue Ruoxue is now a Shen Qingyu with a changed heart.

The people who went to Shuzhong to investigate have also returned. Xue Ruoxue did have a serious illness half a year ago. It was thought that there was no way to save her, but later she recovered miraculously.

Some people also said that Xue Ruoxue's temperament changed drastically after she recovered from the illness. It seems that Xue Ruoxue does have problems, but no matter who you tell this, no one will believe it.

What's more, Xue Ruoxue is the legitimate granddaughter of the Ruyang Palace. If this relationship is not handled properly, it may cause unrest in the court.

Now, although they know that Xue Ruoxue is not a good person, Su Lingxi and others can only be careful on their own.

Zhao Wanyue said with some worry: "Xue Ruoxue followed you because of the arrangement of the eldest princess. I heard that the queen mother even let her enter the palace after her injury healed. She is full of bad intentions. You are always with her. If she wants to harm you, it is hard to guard against!"

Su Lingxi was afraid that her mother would worry, so she said: "Mom, you worry too much. I will be more careful in the future."

Su Xiaoxiao, who was playing with toys on the side, said: "Don't be afraid, the golden retriever is here!"

[The golden retriever ate my heavenly fruit and will definitely protect my sister. ]

The little golden retriever at Su Lingxi's feet immediately nodded seriously, as if to say: "That's right, that's right, I am here, what are you afraid of!"

That naive look made everyone laugh!

Xue Ruoxue was busy recuperating in those days, but nothing happened.

But there were only ten days left before the imperial examination, and Zhao Hongjing had not returned from Xiling. The emperor ordered the Dali Temple to handle Zhao Hongye's corruption case, and Zhao Hongye would be escorted to the capital soon.

Although Zhao Liming didn't say anything, he was very anxious in his heart. If his father's case was not closed, he would be the son of a criminal and would not be eligible to participate in the imperial examination.

Zhao Antai, who was always calm, couldn't sit still. He believed in his son's innocence, but Zhao Liming was the legitimate son of the Zhao family. He was talented and intelligent, and he taught him all his knowledge. He knew that Liming had great ambitions. If he missed the imperial examination because of Zhao Hongye's case, he would have to wait another three years, which would be a pity.

Xu was a woman, so she couldn't keep things to herself. She kept saying every day, "Hongjing is such a jerk. How come there is no news at all after he's been gone for so long?"

Li Yunshu said helplessly, "It's strange. My secret guards never lose contact, but I sent three pigeon messages in a row and there is still no news from Hongjing. The secret guards we sent out to look for him couldn't find any trace of him. Could something have happened to him?"

Zhao Antai With a serious expression, she said, "This is my fault. I shouldn't have trusted Hongjing so much. With his character, he is not capable of doing such a big thing!"

Li Yunshu blamed herself even more, "It's all my fault. If I had gone, this wouldn't have happened! Isn't Hongjing delaying things? Liming is such a good kid. If he delays the imperial examination because of him, I won't forgive him!"

Zhao Liming saw that his whole family was worried about him, and he felt very sad. Feeling guilty, he concealed his emotions and said carelessly: "Grandfather, grandmother, aunt, don't worry, father will be fine. He can't take the examination this year, but there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. People in their teens are taking the examination!"

Seeing that Zhao Liming was so sensible, Zhao Antai felt even more distressed. He paused and said, "No, I have to go to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to see Xiaoxiao!"

Xu was stunned. He glanced at her and said, "We were just talking about Liming's examination. Why are you going to see Xiaoxiao?"

Zhao Antai replied unhappily, "What are you talking about, Zhao Xiaoxiao?"

Xu suddenly realized and said hurriedly, "Come to think of it, we haven't seen Xiaoxiao for a long time. I'll go with you."

The old couple left in a hurry without even having time to change their clothes, leaving Zhao Liming and Li Yunshu looking at each other in bewilderment.

Li Yunshu was afraid that Zhao Liming would be suspicious, so she spoke for his parents-in-law: "Liming, your grandparents just miss Xiaoxiao, it's not that they don't care about you. Don't worry, I'll send another group of people to look for your uncle, that good-for-nothing!"

Zhao Liming said sensibly: "Auntie, I know you are good to me. It would be good for grandparents to go and see Xiaoxiao. They have been worried about me and father recently. It would make them happy to see Xiaoxiao!"

Li Yunshu looked at Zhao Liming with heartache. This child, why is he so eager to please? Poor him, he has a mother like Qian, who usually ignores him and now has divorced him and gone to his mother's house alone to avoid relatives.

Li Yunshu said distressedly: "Liming, you are such a good boy. If Liwen and Liwu were as sensible as you, I would be satisfied!"

Before she finished speaking, a muddy little boy in his teens ran in, shouting: "Mom, mom, look, what good things have we brought you?"

Behind him, there were two older boys, all covered in mud.

Li Yunshu looked at the handsome Zhao Liming, and then at the muddy Dunzi in front of her, and she was so angry that her head was about to fly away.

She looked down at the plump little girl in her arms, and then she calmed down a little. She suppressed her anger and said, "Liwu, I haven't beaten you these few days, right?"

Liwu answered irrelevantly, "Mom, look, my second and third brothers and I went to catch some eels to make soup for you and your sister!"

As she said that, she poured all the eels in her pocket onto the ground. Lide and Liwen, who were behind her, each held two plump eels in their hands and grinned, "Mom, aunt, there are more here!"

Zhao Liming immediately frowned. He said, "Zhao Lide, I told you to take good care of my third and fourth brothers, why did you take them out to play again? Come on, follow me back to the yard!"

Zhao Lide looked at Zhao Liming aggrievedly, "Brother, Liwu said that yellow eels are very nutritious, we caught them and stewed them into soup for you and your sister. You will definitely pass the exam after drinking it, and your sister will grow up quickly after drinking it!"

Zhao Liming said sternly, "Shut up, I will break your legs when you go back!"

Zhao Lide was so aggrieved that he almost cried. Yellow eels are so difficult to catch. It would be fine if his brother didn't appreciate it, but he only scolded him.

Zhao Liming is a thoughtful child, but Lide is a carefree person. He didn't feel sad about his mother's divorce.

Anyway, when their mother was around, she wouldn't care about the lives of the brothers.

Liming is different. Now his father is in trouble and his mother is eager to divorce him. The whole family is busy with his father's affairs. The two brothers can't help, and they can't make trouble.

Lide is really too ignorant!

Liwen and Liwu saw that their eldest brother was angry, and they hurriedly spoke for their second brother: "Brother, this is our idea. Second brother advised us, but we didn't listen. Second brother was worried about us, so he followed. Brother, if you want to punish, punish us!"
