It was already evening when Tao Zhihong returned home.
When he met his wife, Mrs. Wu, Tao Zhihong told her that he had sent someone to investigate something about his second brother, Tao Jingyu.
Mrs. Wu was not surprised after hearing this.
"It's okay for him to have a mistress outside, it won't affect us."
Tao Zhihong looked at his wife with eyes that seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
At this time, Tao Yuwei walked in and heard their conversation, and almost laughed out loud.
How could it not have any impact? He has a young prostitute.
[Second Uncle may not have any other abilities, but when it comes to coaxing men, he's incredibly good!]
Not only did he keep a concubine, he also became entangled with a pretty colleague in the government office where he worked.
After hearing this, Mrs. Wu felt very uncomfortable.
She was in no mood to eat dinner at all.
There was even a little nausea.
"Strange, why would Dad investigate Second Uncle? Could it be because I captured my eldest cousin last time and gave him to Dad, and he found out about his collusion with outsiders?"
To prevent his daughter from overthinking things, Tao Zhihong sternly told Wu, "Baichuan is outrageous. He actually secretly worked for the Sixth and Eighth Princes."
I thought Tao Baichuan first joined the Sixth Prince, helped him successfully assassinate the Ninth Prince, and then used the Sixth Prince's influence to rise to prominence. Finally, he discovered that the Eighth Prince was even more powerful, so he turned and joined the Eighth Prince.
[It turns out he's been two-timing for a long time. That's fine. We can find a way to separate from the second wife as quickly as possible, and then use him to stir up trouble between the two princes.]
When Tao Zhihong heard this, he thought it was a good idea.
"My dear husband, before the news of him keeping a mistress gets out, quickly separate the second son's family and let them live on their own."
Mrs. Wu didn't want her family to have a bad reputation, as it would be bad if the imperial censors took the opportunity to report her husband in the court.
The residence of the Great General Guarding the Nation has already become a place where the wind attracts everyone.
"Okay, Madam, I already have a plan in mind. After these two days of work, I will separate from them."
Tao Zhihong and his wife deliberately discussed the division of the family property in front of Tao Yuwei to clear the way out.
They didn't intend to tell their daughter anything so that they could hear what was in her heart.
After they said that, if their daughter accepted Qi's idea, they would lose a lot of fun.
After all, who doesn’t like to eat melon?
【Dad is wise, this is the right thing to do.】
Just as the family of three sat down at the dining table, Tao Zixing rushed back.
Having not seen their second son for more than a month, Tao Zhihong and his wife warmly invited their son to sit down.
"I heard that the Ninth Prince came to the mansion today. He just rested, so why did he come back home again?"
Mrs. Wu helped her second son pick up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into the bowl, and asked with concern.
When their family eats together, there is no rule of not talking while eating or sleeping.
"The Ninth Prince will take his son to the royal hunting grounds tomorrow. He wants to hunt a sika deer for the Empress."
Tao Zhihong agreed and said, "That's good. Don't just sit in the palace and study all day. You should pay more attention to physical exercise."
[I suspect that the person who suggested to the Ninth Prince that he help the Empress hunt sika deer was specifically instructed by the male protagonist.]
[Their purpose is nothing more than to take advantage of the opportunity to eliminate the Ninth Prince.]
[The Ninth Prince and the Empress cannot die. With them around, the male protagonist has no hope of ascending to that position.]
[Otherwise, the ones who would die would be our eldest family and my maternal grandparents.]
Upon hearing this, Tao Zhihong's face turned ashen, but he remained calm on the surface.
Wu took a deep breath and suppressed her uncomfortable mood.
Tao Zixing loosened his grip on the chopsticks, and after a crisp sound, the chopsticks fell to the ground.
【What happened to them? Why did they suddenly stop talking?】
Tao Yuwei looked at her parents and second brother.
In her puzzled eyes, Tao Zhihong was the first to react.
"Yuwei, you've been so outrageous today. I heard you were so arrogant in the First Prince's Mansion."
Tao Zhihong looked at his daughter and his expression became serious.
Tao Yuwei nodded directly in agreement, "That's not called arrogance, that's called domineering, understand?"
