Don’t ask me why I came to your place when I haven’t even blow-dried or tied my hair up?
Well, of course I received the message from 'the very sensible and praiseworthy Uncle Xiaobai' and rushed over to catch the adulterer... and defeat the bad woman together with the lady!
Zhao Qian'er really wanted to say this in her heart, but it was just a thought.
At this moment, under Zhao Rong's suspicious gaze, she shrank her head.
Beside him, Zhu Yourong watched someone's counterattack with a smile on his face.
Next, it should be Master Zhao's turn to manage the household.
In some families, after the head of the family has taught the little maid a lesson and scolded her, he would then... take advantage of the situation and start to deal with the mistress behind the maid.
She nodded.
It seems that the Zhao family is no exception.
At this moment, looking at Xiao Qian'er who dared not speak, Zhao Rong thought for a moment.
My goodness, it turns out that as soon as she came into the hall, she ran over and warmed his hands gently and flatteringly.
Zhao Rong frowned and glared at her, "Still sitting? Stand up."
The tone of the next sentence was as calm as usual.
However, what Zhao Qian'er heard sounded like a thunderous imperial decree. She immediately dropped the teacup, stood up straight, hung her head, and lowered her eyes.
The man in front of her is her childhood sweetheart, her husband, her brother-in-law, and Brother Rong'er who gave her all his "Thousand Miles" without hesitation in a desperate situation!
He was her... God.
Let her do whatever she wants.
The girl stood before her husband, looking like she was being punished for a mistake.
She buried her head, placed her two slender hands on her waist, and intertwined her fingers.
Like a weak maidservant in a noble family living at the foot of the mountain being punished by the young master, she was terrified and accepted being beaten and scolded.
Zhu Yourong couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
This talented swordsman girl from Taiqing Mansion no longer had the aura of the cold-blooded girl who had cut a man to pieces with her Thunder Sword over 3,600 times at Jiyue Mountain not long ago.
She suddenly became very curious about the situation of the Zhao family branch that Zhao Rong belonged to. The more she interacted with Zhao Rong, the more she felt that these "family members" around him were somewhat unpredictable and not like ordinary people.
For example, the man holding a sword who is guarding the door for the young lady and her husband.
However, I heard from Zhao Rong before that the branch of the Zhao family he belonged to was just a medium-sized branch among the many "Zhao families" in Wangquezhou, and it was rooted in a medium-sized dynasty in the south called "Chu".
Its scale is far smaller than that of the Zhao family, which is ranked among the top wealthy families in Wangque City.
It was just that in recent years, two young sword immortals emerged, Zhao Lingfei and Zhao Qianer, who were highly regarded by the Zhao family in the whole continent. Well, that is, his wife, Zhao Ziyu, so her status rose suddenly...
However, at that time, after listening to Zi Yu's somewhat proud words, Zhu Yourong wanted to tell him... She felt that Zi Yu was the opportunity for this branch of the Zhao family to take off again.
It's just that the Zhao family of the world, since the Fuyao Electorate Palace, has not had a very harmonious relationship with the Confucian Temple. Instead, it has been very close to the great masters of the Mohist school.
Most Confucian scholars in the world also called the Zhao family a family of common people, and there were indeed few Zhao family members who followed Confucianism.
At this moment, Zhu Yourong came back to his senses and glanced at the 'head of the family' who was managing the household.
When Zhao Rong saw Xiao Qian'er's weak appearance, he felt a little soft-hearted, but he immediately looked away.
"Do you know what's wrong?"
Xiao Qian'er lowered her head and said, "I...I shouldn't have been so rude. I rushed to meet the guests without tying my hair. The guests laughed at me."
Zhao Rong didn't nod, but looked at the ground beside him and said:
"If it's just this, Yourong probably won't laugh at you. She's not an outsider, so...besides this, what else is there?"
"No, Mr. Zhu is a guest..." Xiao Qian'er shook her head and insisted, "Qian'er is wrong. I shouldn't be disrespectful in front of a guest."
She lowered her head even lower.
Zhao Rong frowned, "Don't evade the main point. Besides, is Mr. Zhu an outsider? Have you ever seen an outsider actively help others as if they were their closest relatives after they got into trouble?"
After hearing this, Zhao Rong didn't think there was anything wrong, but Zhao Lingfei and Zhao Qian'er looked at him one after another, and Zhu Yourong also lowered his eyes immediately.
Not noticing the subtle change in the atmosphere, Zhao Rong continued to lecture Xiao Qian'er: "Well, you naughty girl, you're just pretending to be stupid, right? Then let me ask you, why did you rush over here just after Mr. Zhu came here to discuss business with me?"
Zhao Rong was a little angry, "So...what are you guarding against?"
Xiao Qian'er's heart twitched and felt a little painful.
It had been a long time since Brother Rong'er had spoken to her in such a harsh tone.
“I…I…”
She didn't know where to put her hands, and under his gaze, her voice was choked.
The girl's pair of peach blossom eyes were so red that I felt pity for her.
However, Zhao Rong nodded: "You're not going to talk again, right? Don't cry, tears are useless now, there are some things at home that must be made clear."
At the side, Concubine Zhao Ling suddenly turned her head and looked at the woman in Confucian robes who was watching.
This female teacher from the academy made her feel that her status as a lady was seriously threatened.
Not only does she have a noble status, she is also a powerful female cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.
Moreover, not long ago, she was able to find a Confucian master of the seventh realm to search for her husband together with the teacher found by Concubine Zhao Lingfei...so her family background must be extremely strong.
…
Moreover, this lady had an extremely beautiful appearance, a temperament like an orchid, and was quiet and elegant... She was also a talented lady that Confucian scholars greatly admired. She was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even these elegant matters in the boudoir were probably a piece of cake for her.
Her knowledge of poetry and classics has reached the level of Yuanying. Her knowledge is so profound that it is difficult for Zhao Lingfei, who has always been confused about the teachings of various schools of thought, to understand. Moreover, it is said that she is also a first-class Confucian scholar of the highest rank...
If a Confucian scholar is lucky enough to marry such an excellent woman, not only will she be able to add fragrance to his boudoir, be his confidant and close friend, and be regarded as a fairy by his family, but she will also provide him with tremendous help in his future studies, cultivation, and status. He will save himself many years of struggle in the Confucian school, and may even reach the pinnacle of his career in one step.
Which Confucian scholar would not be moved and jealous when meeting this woman?
This bowl of soft rice is so big that it can make a man full... well, in every sense of the word.
Concubine Zhao Ling bit her lip and stared at the busty lady.
The most important thing is that, as far as she knows, this lady happens to be very fond of calligraphy, to the point of being obsessed with it, and her husband has unparalleled calligraphy skills.
So this lady and her husband had similar interests and became close friends...she even admired and worshipped her husband.
This is precisely the easiest way for a woman and a man to fall in love with each other.
Even if there is a barrier between the identities of teachers and students in the academy, aren't there many stories of master-disciple love in the world of cultivation?
Moreover, when her husband died this time, the reaction and actions of this lady surnamed Zhu were comparable to those of her and Qian'er.
This also made Zhao Lingfei realize the problem, and her previous pride and confidence in herself being the most suitable for Rong Erge began to waver.
After all, she met a gigolo who seemed to be even bigger than her.
And who knows if Rong Erge will be unable to resist a big bowl of soft rice...
These were just what Concubine Zhao Ling could think of at the moment, and she didn't know if there were any other ties between her husband and this lady.
How could she not have any worries?
At this moment, noticing the complicated look in Concubine Zhao Lingfei's eyes, Zhu Yourong also turned his head and looked at her.
The lady's eyes were calm.
Concubine Zhao Ling also calmed down.
She felt that she couldn't take another step back.
She only has one brother, Rong'er.
And someone wants to descend from the sky, wants to be her sister, wants to take the lead, wants to take everything away from him...
Then it is not as simple as cutting her heart, but letting her die.
At this moment, Zhao Rong suddenly turned his head, looked at Concubine Zhao Ling, and said calmly:
"Qingjun, you sent the teachers from Taiqing Mansion away so quickly? Before you left, didn't I ask you to thank the teachers and see if you could bring them over for dinner? Why did you come back in such a hurry alone?"
Concubine Zhao Ling pursed her lips, took a step forward, stood in front of Xiao Qian'er, and said calmly:
"My dear husband, I asked Uncle Xiaobai to watch over her in advance. He sent me a message saying that Mr. Zhu was coming, so I asked Xiao Qian'er to come quickly and entertain Mr. Zhu and keep her for dinner. Qian'er and I haven't thanked her for her help yet. I will cook tonight and treat her well. I will also give her a valuable gift... So, it was all my fault. Please don't blame Qian'er and Uncle Xiaobai."
The woman with autumn eyes took all the responsibility in front of her husband.
Zhao Rong nodded, "Oh, so it was you, Qingjun, who gave it to me."
He turned his head and looked towards the door. Sure enough, it was Uncle Xiaobai who tipped off...
Uncle Xiaobai, you're out of wine.
"Miss..." Xiao Qian'er couldn't help but call out at this time.
Zhao Lingfei held the girl with peach blossom eyes and shook her head, "It's all my fault. I caused this misunderstanding and made...made Mr. Zhu laugh."
If you fail to catch a cheating man, you will have to bear the consequences of misunderstanding the man and hurting his reputation. Otherwise, if you just let the matter go, the women will only become more and more demanding.
Finally, the family tradition was completely gone.
Concubine Zhao Ling understood her husband's thoughts, and also understood the importance of bearing the consequences of failure after "making trouble".
But there are some things.
If it happened again, she would do the same thing.
Because I can't lose him again.
Zhao Rong turned around at this time, looked at them, and smiled, "Qingjun, are you really just going to keep Mr. Zhu for dinner? Will you prove your innocence again at the dinner table later? For example, ask your husband how many bowls of soft rice he ate? And who served the soft rice?"
Concubine Zhao Lingfei and Zhao Qian'er didn't dare to laugh with him. Instead, their pupils shrank at Zhao Rong's smile.
Concubine Zhao Ling stared at him with her autumn eyes. Her long eyelashes trembled and she bit her lip and whispered, "My husband, I don't have any..."
Zhao Rong shook his head and interrupted, "How can I dare to be the husband of you two fairies? I am so scared and afraid of this and that. If I am not careful, I will become jealous."
Concubine Zhao Ling’s delicate body trembled.
Xiao Qian'er, who was about to stick her head out, was so scared that she shrank behind the young lady.
They know.
Brother Rong'er was really angry.
