Miss Zhao Er said dryly: "My daughter doesn't dare."
"Where did your sister go?" Zhao Qiu Ming asked.
Miss Zhao didn't even raise her eyelids, she just shook her head.
Lord Prime Minister Zhao suddenly felt very tired. The game of chess seemed to be a dead end at this point, with no place for him to make any moves.
Miss Zhao Er knew that her father was injured, and the injury was serious, but she was neither sad nor happy, and she had no thoughts. She and Zhao Yingqin were concubines, and they had a sister who was the most favored in the six palaces. No one paid attention to them in the Zhao Mansion. This time, their father brought two women back to replace their identities. Miss Zhao Er didn't believe that Prime Minister Zhao's words were just expedient measures and that he would arrange their future.
"You really don't know where your sister went?" Zhao Qiu Ming asked his second daughter again.
Miss Zhao Er said, "Father, I haven't seen my third sister for a while. You told me not to leave the house, and I dare not disobey you."
"You are harming her!" Zhao Qiu Ming's voice suddenly became louder.
Miss Zhao Er didn't say anything. She stayed in this house and waited for the price to be raised. Would their future be better? Don't say that the ladies of the upper class never leave the house, don't hear anything about the outside world, and don't understand anything. Which girl is really a fool?
"You go back," Zhao Qiu Ming really didn't have the energy to talk to his daughter anymore. He didn't even have the strength to raise his hand and wave.
Miss Zhao turned around and left without saying a word.
Zhao Qiu Ming said, "What's the use of adopting daughters?" Let alone these two daughters, even the eldest daughter in the imperial palace would become a burden to their Zhao family if she continued to fall out of favor like this. What's the use of adopting daughters?
In Huixin Money House, flames shot up into the sky and black smoke billowed. Boss Qian stood in the yard and listened to the report of the guards. Then, everyone present noticed that Boss Qian's face was the same color as the black smoke behind them.
Zhao Qiu Ming?
Boss Qian cursed in his heart. He had always paid tribute to this big money sponsor, but now this guy was robbing him? Over the years, the tribute money Qian Taiduo had spent on Zhao Qiu Ming amounted to hundreds of thousands of taels of gold and silver. How could this old man still not be satisfied?
The shopkeeper's face was beaten into a pig's head by the boss. He stood behind Boss Qian, touched his own face, and hissed in pain.
Boss Qian turned around and said impatiently, "If it hurts so much, go see a doctor. Why are you standing here?"
The chief shopkeeper shook his head. How could he leave at this time? If Huixin Money House was gone, where would he go to eat? "Empress Zhao has fallen out of favor recently," the chief shopkeeper told Qian Da, "Prime Minister Zhao's status in the court has also fallen sharply."
Boss Qian said, "What do you want to tell me?"
"The Sixth Prince has been executed," the chief shopkeeper's voice got lower and lower, but the content made Boss Qian more and more frightened. The chief shopkeeper said, "The Seventh Prince is still in his infancy. Master, are Concubine Hua and the First Prince the thorns in the eyes of Concubine Zhao and Prime Minister Zhao?"
Boss Qian took a breath and then got angry. Wasn't this old man Zhao Qiuming too overbearing? He opened a business and could only do business with your Zhao family, not other families?
"Master," the chief shopkeeper said, "Is the Prime Minister forcing you to give up the Hua family's business?"
"Impossible!" Boss Qian cursed, "He is just a drowned dog, and he still wants to bite me?"
"Actually, this doesn't seem like the Prime Minister's work," the chief shopkeeper said, "but if it wasn't the Prime Minister's men, which thief would dare to enter the Zhao Mansion openly?"
"Yes," Boss Qian twisted his fat face and said, "He's not afraid that I'll know that he's the mastermind behind this. He's going too far!" After analyzing it in his head, Boss Qian firmly believed that Zhao Qiu Ming was playing a trick on him! Apart from this old man, who would dare to turn against Qian Taiduo in public?
"What does the master mean?" asked the chief shopkeeper.
Boss Qian wanted to grab Zhao Qiu Ming and strangle him to death or kick him to death!
"Master, he is the Prime Minister after all," the head shopkeeper saw that Boss Qian looked like he wanted to kill someone, and hurriedly reminded his boss. He also hated Zhao Qiu Ming for doing such a mean thing, but no matter how rich they were, they were still the people. Since ancient times, the people never fought against the officials. What good would they get if they fought with Zhao Qiu Ming?
Boss Qian walked back and forth in the yard for a few circles, then stopped and ordered his attendants, "Prepare the sedan chair."
The chief shopkeeper said, "Master, are you going to report to the authorities yourself?"
Boss Qian sneered and said, "His people, Zhao Qiu Ming, killed people from the Eternal Life Temple. I have to go to the Huguo Temple to report the news." He was a commoner and could not defeat the Zhao family. Boss Qian did not believe that the Eternal Life Temple would be afraid of him, Zhao Qiu Ming!
"What about the eldest lady?" the head shopkeeper asked again.
Boss Qian gritted his teeth and said, "If anything happens to my daughter, I will die with Zhao Qiuming!"
Boss Qian immediately took his men out of Huixin Money House which was still on fire and headed for Huguo Temple.
As for the security guard who followed Young Master Gu and his party to the vicinity of the Gu Mansion, after being thrown aside by Yu Xiaoxiao, he witnessed an inhumane beating of his friends by the guards of the Gu Mansion. Thinking about Yu Xiaoxiao's previous words of killing to silence them, this man didn't even want his luggage that was still in the bank, and ran directly to the city gate to hide, preparing to leave the city and return to his hometown to farm as soon as the city gate opened tomorrow. Farming is a bit poor, but he can still be alive!
Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang slept in the same quilt. Gu Xinglang held Yu Xiaoxiao in his arms. Both of them had been busy for two days and were sleeping soundly.
Abbot Mo Wen was sitting alone in the Buddhist hall. A jade bottle was missing, which contained the antidote for Wu Huan's poison. No outsiders had entered the Buddhist hall today, and Mo Wen believed that his attendant monks would not betray him, so how did the antidote get lost?
Mo Wen turned his head to look at the statue of Sakyamuni sitting on the shrine and said, "Flower slave."
The person who stole the medicine had to know what kind of poison Wu Huan had been poisoned with, and he had to be able to sneak into the Buddhist temple where he lived and find the antidote that could cure Wu Huan's poison among the many jade bottles that looked the same. Most importantly, this person had to save Wu Huan. Who else could meet the above conditions except this Hua Nu?
Thinking about how Hua Nu was naked all day, Mo Wen suddenly raised his hand and smashed the small tea table beside him. Could it be that he had already been able to raise a person who was mentally clear but immortal?
The monks standing in the Buddhist hall heard the noise, but no one dared to ask.
Thinking about the burnt ashes in that courtyard, Hua Nu is still alive? No, Mo Wen shook his head. This woman only wants to die. Finally, there is a chance to be freed. How could this woman not want to die?
