Lu Shanhe pondered for a moment, but looking at the faces of the two men, they still looked a little ugly.
After a moment, Lu Shanhe said, "Master Zhao, I'm afraid you can't be the matchmaker."
"Our eldest daughter cannot participate in this marriage with the Zheng family."
As he said this, he looked at Zheng Zhiqian, who had been silent the whole time.
"Zhiqian, if you don't want to marry your cousin, then just say so."
"Uncle and aunt will never force you!"
"But now, you have set your sights on your cousin. What do you want to do?"
"My Lu family's daughter doesn't have to marry your Zheng family."
Hearing that the other party had revealed his cards, Zhao Hao's brows gradually furrowed.
He said slowly: "Master Lu, this means there is no room for easing this matter?"
Lu Shanhe said: "Master Zhao, this matter concerns the life of my eldest daughter. Please forgive me!"
Zhao Hao said directly: "I know that Patriarch Lu thinks that your eldest daughter is very talented, so he wants to climb up the social ladder."
"But how could Patriarch Lu know that Zhiqian would not be the high-ranking official you hoped for in the future?"
"I think, with the Lu family's vision, they should be able to see something, right?"
"Besides, I, Zhao, came here in person today. Could it be that Patriarch Lu won't even give me this little face?"
Before Lu Shanhe could speak, his wife beside him snorted and said, "Mr. Zhao is really very proud!"
Zhao Hao sneered and said, "In this imperial capital, there is a saying that it is better to offend the royal family than to offend me, Zhao Hao."
"Your Lu family wanted to climb up the ladder, but after offending me, I'm afraid this idea will be ruined."
Lu Shanhe looked grim and asked, "Lord Zhao, are you threatening us?"
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Of course, isn't it obvious?"
"Okay, let's not talk about it for now. Patriarch Lu should think about it carefully!"
"I'll leave first!"
After saying that, Zhao Hao stood up and waved at Zheng Zhiqian.
The two walked away.
Coming out of Lu's house, Zhao Hao patted Zheng Zhiqian on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, I will definitely take care of this matter!"
"I just don't believe that a mere Lu family can turn the world upside down in my hands."
Before coming here, Zhao Hao really didn't take the Lu family seriously.
So, he is full of confidence.
However, he didn't expect that the Lu family would not give him such face.
Then don't blame him.
Zheng Zhiqian took a deep breath and said, "Brother Hao, I'm in trouble!"
Zhao Hao was angry, and when he heard what he said, he flew up and kicked Zheng Zhiqian on the butt.
"Stop talking bullshit."
After separating from Zheng Zhiqian, Zhao Hao returned to the princess's mansion.
Then I asked Yongning about the sales of Southeast Road dry wine.
Yongning said: "Let me check for you, why are you suddenly concerned about this matter?"
Zhao Hao briefly recounted what had happened at the Lu family.
Yongning couldn't help but laugh and said, "How much face do you think you have?"
Zhao Hao snorted, "Why should I lose face? I am now a dignified duke and a trusted minister of His Majesty."
"I have no face?"
“What a joke!”
Yongning smiled and shook his head, not arguing with him: "Okay, okay, okay, isn't it okay if you have face?"
As he spoke, he helped him check.
Soon, there were results.
"In the Southeast Road, the Jiao family was kicked out by you."
"Then, the sales of dry wine throughout Southeast Road became the Lu family, the Feng family, and the Ou family."
"Among these three families, the Lu family is the strongest."
"They alone account for more than 40% of the dry liquor sales in the entire Southeast Road."
Zhao Hao immediately said: "Okay, from now on, you help me kick this Lu family out."
"No, there's no need to really kick him out. Just spread the word that the sales of dry liquor in Southeast Road need to be adjusted."
Yongning said, "This doesn't seem to work. After all, we have signed a deed before."
"If we tear up the deed directly, the treasury will have to pay a lot of money."
Zhao Hao said: "So, let's not do it for real first, just spread the word that we are going to make adjustments to Southeast Road, especially the Lu family, to see if the Lu family can still sit still."
Yongning said softly, "You just went there in person, and they know who you are. The fact that they still rejected you means that they know that I have handed over the treasury."
"I won't be afraid."
Zhao Hao snorted, "No matter what, let's spread the word and put some pressure on them first."
"I just don't believe it. In my eyes, those top wealthy families were nothing but grass."
"A mere Lu family, just a little Karami."
Yongning smiled and said, "Okay, don't be angry. It's just a small family that wants to climb up the social ladder. It won't make any waves."
"There's no need for me to say hello to the Emperor's uncle, just talk to him yourself!"
Ever since Yongning became pregnant, the operation and management of the treasury has been handed over to Prince Kang.
Until now, it has not been returned, and Zhao Hao doesn't want to make her too hard.
However, the previous accounts and other things were still with her, and King Kang did not take them away.
This also means that he does not want to be in charge of the treasury all the time.
This means that when the time is right, the treasury will be handed over to Yongning for management.
Zhao Hao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to the palace early tomorrow morning."
He had made his threats so clear, yet Lu Shanhe and his wife refused to give in and instead directly refused.
This is really... Not only did the enemy refuse to surrender, but they also dared to fight back against me.
My uncle can tolerate it, but my aunt can’t.
At night, he was so depressed that he didn't even do any exercise. He just drank some wine and went straight to sleep.
On the other side, Lu Shanhe and his wife were also quite annoyed after Zhao Hao and Zheng Zhiqian left.
"This Zhao Hao, who does he think he is? It's outrageous. When is it his turn to take care of my Lu family's affairs?" Lu Shanhe's wife said angrily.
"Could it be that he still thinks that Princess Yongning is in charge of the treasury?"
"You actually came to threaten my Lu family. This is ridiculous!"
"And Zheng Zhiqian actually asked Zhao Hao to put pressure on him. That's even more despicable!"
"With him, he still wants to think about our Yingying?"
"He deserves it!"
Lu Shanhe also said in a cold voice: "No, this matter must be made known to the Zheng family!"
The middle-aged woman said, "He came here so blatantly, how could the Zheng family not know about it?"
Lu Shanhe said, “The Zheng family probably doesn’t know about this, otherwise they wouldn’t let him do this!”
The middle-aged woman said, "What are you waiting for? Let's go to the Zheng family now. I want to see how the Zheng family explains this matter!"
…
The next morning, Zhao Hao didn't even have breakfast and went straight to Prince Kang's Mansion.
