When he came to Qin Shuyun, Zhao Hao rubbed his arm against her.
Qin Shuyun shook her head violently, then turned her head away and continued crying.
Zhao Hao felt distressed and quickly advised: "Mom, I'm hungry!"
Qin Shuyun stopped sobbing immediately, turned around quickly, and said with red eyes: "You little brat, you came back in the morning, and it's almost dusk now, and you haven't even eaten yet?"
Before Zhao Hao could say anything, his stomach growled at a very opportune moment.
Qin Shuyun heard this and stopped crying. She stood up and said, "You little brat, I'll go make you something to eat. Wait here!"
After saying that, he walked out quickly.
Looking at his mother's figure, Zhao Hao couldn't help but grin.
If I try to persuade her, I'm afraid it won't have much effect even if I try until dark. It's not as good as just one sentence: Mom, I'm hungry.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Qin Shuyun came back with the tray herself.
"Come here quickly and have a simple bite to fill your stomach. Mother has already asked the kitchen to make fresh food. It will be ready soon."
"Mom, I just need a bite."
Zhao Hao smiled and walked to the table and sat down. Qin Shuyun said unhappily, "Look at how thin you have become. You have become a savage."
"You must not have eaten well."
"You finally got back, why don't you make up for it?"
Zhao Hao was really hungry, so he picked up the chopsticks and started eating voraciously.
Seeing this, Qin Shuyun quickly poured a cup of tea and placed it beside him: "Eat slowly, little brat, no one is going to snatch it from you!"
Watching her son devouring the food in no time, looking like a starving ghost, Qin Shuyun, who was standing aside, began to wipe away her tears again.
Zhao Hao was speechless when he saw this. Why was he still crying?
After swallowing the food in his mouth and just about to speak, he saw his father Zhao Wenxiang striding in from outside.
Zhao Hao quickly stood up and said, "Dad, you're back!"
Looking at Zhao Hao, Zhao Wenxiang frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Have you finished eating?"
Zhao Hao nodded: "Almost done!"
Qin Shuyun on the side was not happy: "What do you mean it's almost done? You've only eaten a few bites. Eat more! Eat more!"
Zhao Hao quickly said, "Mom, I'm almost done eating."
Zhao Wenxiang snorted, "After you finish eating, follow me to the study!"
After saying that, he turned and went outside.
Zhao Hao looked at the old lady and the aunt, then hurriedly followed.
The father and son entered the study.
Zhao Wenxiang suddenly turned around, looked at Zhao Hao fiercely, and shouted in a concentrated voice: "Kneel down for me!"
This roar scared Zhao Hao: "Dad, what are you doing?"
Not only was I scared, but my head was also confused.
I just got back and haven’t been in any trouble!
What is going on, Dad?
Zhao Wenxiang shouted angrily again: "Kneel down!"
Zhao Hao fell to his knees with a thud, and Zhao Wenxiang pointed at his forehead.
"Evil beast, do you think that you can do whatever you want just because you have some ability?"
Zhao Hao was so confused by the scolding: "Dad, what is this talking about?"
"I just came back. I just went to the palace to report the situation to His Majesty and also met with Her Royal Highness the Princess."
“I didn’t do anything!”
Zhao Wenxiang got even angrier when he heard this: "You bastard, have you forgotten what happened in Tongshan City?"
Zhao Hao finally reacted when he heard the words Tongshan City.
"Dad, I thought you were talking about something else, but it turns out it's about this."
Zhao Hao said this and was about to stand up.
Zhao Wenxiang shouted sternly: "Kneel down!"
"You bastard, you killed a second-rank prefect in the government office of the prefectural city. Do you know how serious this crime is?"
"You still don't mind it?"
Zhao Hao immediately said, "Dad, that Chen Liang dared to embezzle the pension I gave to the people of Tongshan."
"Do you think I can bear it?"
Zhao Wenxiang said in a serious tone: "If you can't bear it, then kill people on the spot? Do you know how serious this is?"
"You think it's a small matter?"
Zhao Hao curled his lips and said, "It's been so long. If there was something wrong, it would have happened a long time ago."
"Besides, when I just went to the palace to meet His Majesty, His Majesty didn't even mention it."
"Don't worry, it won't happen."
When Zhao Wenxiang heard this, he became even angrier and his beard became tangled with anger.
"You beast, you... do you know how much pressure His Majesty has endured in the court to protect you because of your killing of Chen Liang?"
"You still think it's a trivial matter?"
Hearing this, Zhao Hao was shocked: "Dad...you mean..."
Zhao Wenxiang snorted coldly: "You don't think that you killed Chen Liang on the spot and nothing will happen, do you?"
"You don't think that His Majesty can prevent this for you just by saying a few words, right?"
"Do you really think it's that simple?"
"Chen Liang is the prefect of Tongshan Prefecture, a second-rank official, and a high-ranking official. Not to mention you, even if His Majesty wants to convict him, the three courts must hold a joint trial, and the evidence is solid. What's your basis?"
Zhao Hao was speechless.
He really didn't take this matter seriously.
Seeing Zhao Hao lower his head, Zhao Wenxiang's anger subsided a little and he let out a long breath.
"How is the Qinzhou Smelting Workshop going?"
"It's almost done, but it will take at least three to four months to officially start smelting."
Zhao Wenxiang nodded: "The smelting workshop must be completed. Not only must it be completed, but it must be done well!"
“Only when you accomplish something and do it well can you better demonstrate your value.”
