Yu Xiaoxiao was fighting outside the North City, and Gu Xinglang brought Miss Zhao San to the vicinity of the Zhao Mansion. The carriage stopped, and Gu Xinglang looked at Miss Zhao San who got off the carriage and said, "You can go back."
Miss Zhao San saw that Gu Xinglang really had no intention of stopping her, so she turned around and ran towards the Zhao Mansion.
The second in command was worried and said to Gu Xinglang, "Sir, can I go over and take a look?"
Gu Xinglang shook his head at the Second in Command and whispered, "If you go, the people in the Zhao Mansion will get suspicious."
Only then did the second in command give up the idea of going to see it.
"Let's retreat," Gu Xinglang ordered his subordinates.
The Gu family retreated a few hundred meters and stood in an inconspicuous corner of the street.
Miss Zhao San walked to her own door. Yu Xiaoxiao had half of the gate of the Zhao Mansion removed yesterday, and the new gate was just installed now. There was still time to paint it. The gate with a white base looked a bit shabby. Miss Zhao San took a deep breath and raised her hand to knock on the door.
The doorman heard someone knocking at the door, opened the small door on the front door, looked out, and asked Miss Zhao San, "Who are you looking for?" Miss Zhao San was raised in a secluded place, and even her father and brothers rarely saw her. The doorman had never seen the third lady in the mansion before.
Miss Zhao San went over her father and brother in her mind, and finally said, "I'm going to find Mr. Zhao Si."
The concierge looked at the fat girl outside the door. Looking for their fourth young master? In the past, the concierge would have simply closed the small door and ignored Miss Zhao. Can the young masters of the Zhao Mansion be seen whenever they want? Can the Zhao Mansion be entered whenever they want? But the Zhao family is different now. The concierge thought about it and decided to go and make this errand. "Wait a moment," the concierge told Miss Zhao, closed the small door and ran away.
Miss Zhao San could only stand at the gate and wait.
Young Master Zhao Si had been looking for his sister for almost midnight, and then he and his two brothers watched over Zhao Qiu Ming until dawn. Just as he was about to go to his room to lie down for a while, the doorman came and told him that there was a fat girl outside the door looking for him. Young Master Zhao Si hurriedly told the doorman to wait here, and then went back into Zhao Qiu Ming's bedroom.
The second son of the Zhao family was yawning when he saw the fourth son coming into the room again. He asked, "Didn't I tell you to go and rest?"
The fourth son of the Zhao family shook his head at his second brother, ran to Zhao Qiu Ming's bed, and whispered: "Father, the third sister may be back."
Zhao Qiu Ming had just drank some medicine after being helped by his sons. He was now lying down with his eyes closed to rest. After hearing what his fourth son said, Zhao Qiu Ming opened his eyes.
"Should I go pick her up?" Young Master Zhao asked his father.
"How do you know it's her?" Zhao Qiu Ming asked.
The fourth son of the Zhao family said, "The concierge said it was a fat girl. Dad, besides the third sister, which other fat girl would come to us?"
The second son of the Zhao family said, "Why are you still asking father? Hurry and bring her into the mansion!"
Young Master Zhao San didn't say a word, but just looked at Zhao Qiu Ming. Could they really let their sister go home at this time?
Zhao Qiu Ming closed his eyes again and asked, "How did she spend this night?"
The second son of Zhao said, "Who knows? Call her to your bedside and ask her."
"Your fourth brother searched Fengjing City last night but couldn't find her," Zhao Qiuming said, "Since she was hiding from us, why did she come back today?"
Mr. Zhao was stunned by what Zhao Qiuming said, and said, "Which inn might she stay in?"
Mr. Zhao San said at this time: "It is also possible that she was temporarily taken in by a family."
The second son of the Zhao family looked at his brother and said, "What's the problem?"
The third son of the Zhao family said, "The key is to see who this family is. If they are our Zhao family's enemies, then her return is definitely not a good thing."
At this time, the second son of Zhao was silent. He also understood the consequences of deceiving the emperor.
The fourth son of the Zhao family looked at his father and brother and said, "Then I'll go ask her?"
"Let her go," Zhao Qiu Ming said, waving his hand gently.
"Father?" The Second Young Master Zhao and the Fourth Young Master Zhao shouted together.
Zhao Qiu Ming closed his eyes and remained silent. Mo Wen would never let the crime of assassinating Master Fenglin fall on their Zhao family, so he must not be held responsible for the crime of deceiving the emperor.
"I'll go out and meet her," said Mr. Zhao San at this time.
"Father," said the Second Young Master Zhao, "Have you really decided?"
Zhao Qiu Ming then opened his eyes and said with a somewhat painful expression: "Since she is gone, she should not come back."
The Third Young Master Zhao walked out of the bedroom quickly, leaving the Second Young Master Zhao and the Fourth Young Master Zhao looking at each other in silence.
Miss Zhao San waited anxiously outside her house for a long time. When she saw the small door on the main door opened again, she hurried forward.
The Third Young Master Zhao looked at his concubine sister standing outside the door and said indifferently, "What does this young lady want from my fourth brother?"
Miss Zhao San was stunned.
The Third Young Master Zhao glanced behind his concubine sister and saw that there was no one there. He then whispered, "Father said that if you leave, don't come back."
Miss Zhao San stared at her brother in a daze.
"Go away and take care of yourself," said the Third Young Master Zhao, unmoved, "Don't say your last name is Zhao anymore."
Miss Zhao San said: "Third brother, I..."
"Do you think our whole family will die because of you?" Young Master Zhao interrupted Miss Zhao and asked.
Miss Zhao San remembered Yu Xiaoxiao's words and accused her father of deceiving the emperor.
The third son of the Zhao family closed the small door. Behind him, there was no one. The third son of the Zhao family turned around and looked at the Zhao Mansion, which was still as beautiful as usual. He wondered, how did the Zhao family come to this point? Even the young lady in the family didn't dare to recognize him!
Miss Zhao San stood in front of her house for a while in despair. Seeing that no one came out to talk to her, she turned around and walked down the stairs. Prince Consort Gu was right. Her father didn't recognize her anymore.
"Third Young Master," a guard said to Gu Xinglang who was sitting in the car after seeing Miss Zhao San walking towards them alone, "That young lady walked here alone."
The second in command leaned against the car window and muttered to Gu Xinglang: "That Zhao guy is really capable of doing such a thing!"
"Let's go," Gu Xinglang ordered, looking at Miss Zhao San who was staggering alone.
The second in command followed Gu Xinglang's carriage back. After walking about ten steps, he heard a pedestrian scream behind him. When the second in command turned around, he saw Miss Zhao San, who was still walking just now, fainted on the road. The second in command ran to Miss Zhao San without thinking.
"Third Young Master, him?" the captain of the guards asked Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang looked at the second in command with a cold face as he ran towards Miss Zhao San, and waved to the chief guard.
The Gu family's group stopped on the street again.
The second in command ran to Miss Zhao San and picked her up horizontally. When he ran to Gu Xinglang with Miss Zhao San in his arms, the second in command suddenly asked himself, what did he want to do by carrying this fat lady to see Gu Xinglang?
