Xu Di took the tray from his mother and said, "Mother, our family is now in a precarious situation with the Emperor. There are countless people in the capital watching us. If things go wrong, we could all be wiped out."
Zhang Zhaoci said, "How could I not know this? I used to think that as long as your father came to Ganzhou, he could just work diligently and do his job well, just like he did in Hexi. But after this Liao girl's incident, I realized that things were not good. There are too many things involved in Ganzhou."
Xu Di said, "What I mean is that you should go back to the capital with Granny and take Xiao Jiu and Xiao Qi. No one in the capital dares to make any trouble right now, so it's safer there."
Zhang Zhaoci sighed and said, "What will happen to Miss Liao if I leave? Miss Liao has become the key figure in this whole matter. Only by curing her can many things be made clear."
Xu Di thought for a moment and said, "Mother, what do you think about sending Miss Liao and her child to the capital?"
Zhang Zhaoci said, "Are you trying to send them to their deaths? If that mother and daughter go to the capital, isn't that like lambs to the slaughter?"
Xu Di said, "Actually, if we had given Miss Liao to someone else, our family wouldn't be in such a passive position now. It's just a pity that we don't have a suitable candidate. The suitable candidate can't even protect themselves now."
Zhang Zhaoci leaned closer to Xu Di and whispered, "Hey, who's the next emperor?"
Xu Di looked at Zhang Zhaoci and said, "Mother, you wear your heart on your sleeve, so I dare not tell you anything. Don't worry, whoever is jumping around the most now will end up in the worst situation later."
Zhang Zhaoci pinched Xu Di's face and said, "You, even as a young boy, still have the same unlovable personality. If you don't want to talk, then don't. I don't care to hear it anyway."
Xu Di touched his cheek and said, "Mother, if you have time, think about Xiao Jiu's dowry. Didn't the nanny say that she's going to take Xiao Jiu around to look at furniture now? We need to get those pieces of furniture ready as soon as possible. Find out where there's good wood and buy it to save up. That way, we won't have to go looking for it when we need it."
Zhang Zhaoci sighed and said, "No wonder people say that children are just here to collect debts. Look, we have to prepare all these things for them when they are so young. They have to get married when they are sixteen or seventeen. After they get married, they can't easily go back to their parents' home. I think I might as well find a live-in son-in-law for our Xiao Jiu, so that he can live in our house."
Upon hearing this, Xu Di's eyes lit up, and he said, "Mother, I have a suitable candidate here."
