Chapter 534 is Ruan Haizhu
Zhao Qingxuan lowered his head, knelt down, and kowtowed three times to Taifu Zhao without saying a word, "Father, I know that I am incompetent and cannot bring honor to the family. I also understand that you look down on me, so I have been obedient all these years. When Dad tells me to go east, I dare not go west.
I thought that this would help me gain a little place in my father's heart, even if it was just a little bit. But today I realized that I was wrong, and extremely wrong.
In my father's heart, except for the eldest brother, the other sons are dispensable. Except for the grandchildren of the eldest wife, who are your treasures, the other grandchildren are not even worth a blade of grass. Since this family does not need a son, the son will not stay here to get in the way. "
Taifu Zhao slammed the long table angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I only care about the first wife and ignore you? Your eldest brother will take over the entire Zhao family in the future. The burden on his shoulders is already heavy. What's wrong with me valuing him a little?
Now I ask you why you gave up a good sixth-rank official position in the imperial capital and chose a fifth-rank official post? Can an official posted abroad be compared with an official in the imperial capital? It's simply short-sighted! Just based on this point, you are not as good as your elder brother!"
Zhao Qingxuan was so angry that he raised his head suddenly, "Yes! I am not as good as my elder brother, so my children deserve to be inferior, deserve to be humiliated, and deserve to be lowly!"
"You" Master Zhao covered his chest in anger.
Zhao Qingxuan strode away angrily.
The housekeeper came in hurriedly, his face full of worry, "Master, are you okay? Do you want me to go get a doctor?"
Taifu Zhao took a few deep breaths, recovered his strength, and then asked, "What happened in the mansion today?"
The housekeeper's eyes flickered. When he met the sharp eyes of Master Zhao, his legs softened and he knelt down. "Master, this morning, the First Madam brought Miss Jasmine from the Second House to the palace to pay respects to the Queen Mother. I don't know what happened. I only know that when Miss Jasmine returned home, her face was covered with tears. The First Madam looked unhappy and even scolded Miss Jasmine a few words."
Taifu Zhao felt his eyes go dark, "Go! Find the master for me."
Now is a time of trouble. Without the Second Prince, the Zhao family is not as good as before. If there is internal strife at this time, it will simply make the situation worse.
Zhao Qinghe arrived quickly, talked with Taifu Zhao for a while, and then hurried back to the main room.
As soon as she entered the room, she questioned King Qingkang in a bad tone, "Why did you bring Jasmine into the palace today?"
In the past, he had taken the initiative to ask Princess Qingkang to take Zhao Moli out to a banquet, but Princess Qingkang always made excuses. Later, when Zhao Furong openly bullied Zhao Moli several times, Princess Qingkang used the excuse that the two children did not get along with each other.
Zhao Qinghe knew that Princess Qingkang looked down on the second branch, but since she was a princess, he couldn't force her.
Princess Qingkang glanced at Zhao Qinghe indifferently, with a lazy and disdainful look on her face, "What? Did the Second House complain to you? You are indeed a hopeless piece of mud! You have no ability, but you are a master at making small moves."
"What nonsense are you talking about? How did the second house offend you?" Zhao Qinghe's face became even darker.
Princess Qingkang became more and more sarcastic, "Did I say anything wrong? Murong Jue has returned to the imperial capital. I wanted to arrange Furong's marriage with Jasmine, but she was petty and cried. It was unlucky to look at her. Not only did she not bring honor to me, but she also embarrassed me in the palace. I didn't settle the score with her, but she had the nerve to complain!"
Zhao Qinghe seemed to have heard something incredible. "Qingkang, are you crazy? Princess Huai'an has already been engaged to the Shen family. What kind of engagement are you talking about? No wonder my second brother said that you were mistreating Jasmine. I think you just don't know what you are talking about!"
Princess Qingkang stood up straight, her arrogance even greater, "The news of Princess Huai'an and the Shen family's engagement has not spread yet, why can't I fight for it? Today I brought her to Murong Jue, and what happened? She just kept crying. The Queen Mother didn't blame her, which was a favor. How dare she make a fuss?"
Zhao Qinghe found that he couldn't communicate with Princess Qingkang at all, so he cursed her as a "madwoman" and turned around and walked away.
When he rushed to the second room, he found Zhao Qingxuan packing his luggage and seemed eager to leave.
He hurried forward to apologize, "Second brother, I just found out about what happened today. I have already reprimanded Qingkang, but she is a princess, and I cannot ask her to come and apologize to you. Look, I will give you the farm outside the imperial capital, and the two shops in the east of the city. You can calm down, okay?"
Zhao Qingxuan looked up and met Zhao Qinghe's expectant eyes. He sneered, "Brother, it's been a long time since my sister-in-law looked down on our second branch. Giving things won't change anything. This prejudice has always been there. I just don't want to continue to live a miserable life in the Zhao family."
"Second brother." Zhao Qinghe was very hurt.
But he was in a difficult position because on one side was his wife of noble status and on the other was his younger brother.
In the end, he left behind the land deeds and shop deeds of the farm and shop before leaving.
The next morning, Zhao Qingxuan and his family left the Zhao Mansion with their luggage.
Less than half a day after Zhao Qingxuan and his family left, rumors spread in the imperial capital that Princess Qingkang had forced the second branch of the Zhao family out of the imperial capital.
By the time Princess Qingkang learned about the rumor, it had already spread and she could no longer control it.
Princess Qingkang was almost mad to death, and she yelled at Zhao Qinghe, "The Second House is so sinister that they let people spread such rumors. Do they think I'm afraid? Zhao Moli better not come back to the imperial capital, otherwise I will make her pay!"
"You're sick!" Zhao Qinghe replied with just these two words and ignored the furious Princess Qingkang.
Princess Qingkang was still angry when Princess Qingfeng came to visit.
She was concerned and comforted, "Sister, I know everything about the palace. I heard that the young lady of the Shen family will be sent to the palace to be with the Queen Mother tomorrow. Why don't we go to the palace to take a look? If this woman's virtue is not worthy of the position, I will definitely speak up for your poor niece."
Princess Qingkang rolled her eyes in annoyance, "He's just an ungrateful person, why take it to heart?"
Princess Qingfeng covered her face with a handkerchief and coughed twice, "Come in!"
Princess Qingkang looked up and her pupils fluttered instantly.
She saw a fairy-like girl in red walking towards her slowly. She had an extraordinary temperament and her blazing eyes were like the scorching sun. She gave people a warm and bright feeling, completely different from those noble ladies in the imperial capital.
Princess Qingkang was stunned for a moment before she responded, "Who is this?"
Princess Qingfeng was very satisfied with Princess Qingkang's reaction. She raised her lips proudly and replied slowly, "Her name is Ruan Haizhu, and she is not from Langya. Sister, do you think a man would like a beauty like Haizhu?"
Ruan Haizhu and Zhao Moli are two completely different beauties. If we compare them, Ruan Haizhu is as beautiful as a red flower in the sun, scorching hot, and making people's heart surge at a glance. Zhao Moli, on the other hand, is pure, fresh, tranquil, and as gentle and lovely as water.
Since Murong Jue doesn't like girls like Zhao Moli, he will always be attracted by a beauty like Ruan Haizhu!
