Zhao Mingyu watched nervously.
She also wanted to know what Han Yuehua meant.
They bullied Zhao Lin, and Han Yuehua knew it clearly, so why did she do nothing?
Could it be that, as my elder sister said, the rumors outside are true?
Zhao Chenhan is really the son of that scholar.
Han Yuehua said angrily: "What can Prince Yu think? What does he dare to think? As long as your father is still the Marquis of Zhenbei and controls the 200,000 troops at Zhenbei Pass, Prince Yu will have no choice but to recognize him no matter who his son is."
Zhao Mingzhu sighed and said, "Please explain to me why you favor Chen Han and hate Zhao Lin."
"Hate? I'm his mother, how could I hate him?"
Han Yuehua avoided answering why she favored Zhao Chenhan, and only said about Zhao Lin: "It's not that I hate him, but he hates us. Look at what he said, he wanted us to die, his body hates us."
Zhao Mingzhu stared at Han Yuehua and pursued her relentlessly: "If mother hadn't favored Chen Han, Zhao Lin wouldn't have become like this."
Han Yuehua angrily said, "How am I partial to him? Do I treat him any differently than I treat you?"
Zhao Mingzhu asked, "Why is it different for Zhao Lin?"
Han Yuehua said without hesitation: "That's because he's not ambitious enough and not likable. Aren't you the same?"
These words left Zhao Mingzhu speechless.
At this time, the sound of a carriage was heard outside the door, and Zhao Mingyue and Zhao Mingxiao came.
"Why are you here?" Han Yuehua asked.
Zhao Mingyue said, "Eldest sister sent a letter asking us to come. What happened?"
Zhao Mingxiao nodded in agreement.
Zhao Mingzhu said, "Zhao Lincheng has been appointed Governor of Jiujiang."
"Ah? Is this true?"
Zhao Mingyue and Zhao Mingxiao were both surprised.
The news was so sudden that they couldn't believe it.
"It's true. Yesterday, His Majesty issued an imperial decree, demoting the former Jiujiang Governor Feng Siyuan to the position of Provincial Governor and promoting the former Qingzhou Prefect Zhao Lin to the position of Governor. The prince said it himself." Zhao Mingzhu said briefly.
"It was so sudden."
It took Zhao Mingyue a while to accept the news and said.
Zhao Mingxiao had a complicated expression: "Is this what Big Sister asked us to come for?"
"Yes and no."
Zhao Mingzhu said, "You all know that Zhao Lin hates us very much. The reason is all because of those three years in the Marquis' Mansion. I just want to know why my parents favor Chen Han so much, which caused Zhao Lin to become so psychologically twisted that he broke off all ties with us and ran away from home, even threatening to kill our entire family."
Zhao Mingyue and Zhao Mingxiao both looked at Han Yuehua.
Han Yuehua angrily said, "Why are you looking at me? I've already said it before, if Zhao Lin wasn't incompetent and not up to par, would I look down on him? He caused all this himself."
"But he is now the governor, one of the thirteen governors of Daqi. Can't he show up in public?" Zhao Mingzhu asked with tears in her eyes.
Zhao Mingyue, Zhao Mingxiao and Zhao Mingyu all looked at Han Yuehua.
They also have doubts in their hearts.
Even if Zhao Lin is really incompetent, as his parents, they should give him guidance instead of being so biased.
Han Yuehua saw that her daughters all looked like they were demanding an explanation from her, and she flew into a rage. "Alright, you've grown so powerful that you're asking me for an explanation. So what if he's the governor now? In front of your father, in front of our mansion, the governor still can't stand up to scrutiny. As long as your father asks, do you believe that if he becomes the governor today, he can go back to being the prefect tomorrow?"
Zhao Mingzhu said patiently, "Mom, don't be angry. I just want to know what's bothering you and why you look down on Zhao Lin. I want to help you resolve it."
"No."
Han Yuehua waved her hand and said, “You are now the Princess of Yu, and you are capable. I can’t afford it and I don’t want the Princess to help me.”
"mother!"
Zhao Mingzhu knelt down and said, "No matter who I am, I am still your daughter. Why are you so stubborn? Isn't it good for our family to live in harmony?"
Zhao Mingyue and her two sisters also knelt down.
Zhao Mingyue said, "Mom, I think what my elder sister said makes sense. If Zhao Lin does something wrong, you can point it out and ask him to correct it."
Zhao Mingxiao said, "Yes, Dad has made such great contributions, but he has always been criticized for his military status. The appearance of a governor in the family is a good thing for everyone. Why dwell on the past?"
Although Zhao Mingyu didn't say anything, her attitude showed her support for her three sisters.
"Asshole! Asshole!" Han Yuehua was furious. "Are you guys collectively forcing me?"
"I dare not," Zhao Mingzhu said quickly. "I am only thinking about the Marquis' Mansion and the whole family. What did Zhao Lin do wrong to make me so disgusted? If it was just because of what he said, then it is understandable."
"Hmph, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You just want to mend your relationship with him because he's the governor and has a bright future. I'm telling you, forget it."
Han Yuehua snorted coldly, "Zhao Lin is narrow-minded and rebellious. Your Majesty favors him only because you don't understand him. When you understand him in the future, you will deprive him of everything and send him back to being a beggar. Besides, Prince Yu is about to ascend the throne. What's the point of Zhao Lin's favor?"
That was almost like saying that Emperor Ping was about to die and his favorite ministers were useless.
"As for Li Xingye and Fu Chengwang, with your father around, it doesn't matter whether they are there or not to Prince Yu."
"I'm going to go worship Buddha and pray for Chen Han. I don't have time to deal with you. Let's go."
Han Yuehua turned and left.
Zhao Mingzhu stood up and looked at Han Yuehua's back, revealing deep thought.
Han Yuehua was right. Emperor Chengping would not live for more than two years. By then, Zhao Lin would have lost the emperor's favor, and it would be difficult for him to keep his current position, let alone make further progress.
But now he is useful to Prince Yu.
Prince Yu took a fancy to the resources in Zhao Lin's hands.
So Zhao Mingzhu wanted to call Zhao Lin back to the Marquis' Mansion and let Zhao Lin betray the prince and become Prince Yu's subordinate.
But Han Yuehua's doting on Zhao Chenhan has exceeded her expectations.
Han Yuehua understood Zhao Lin's current value.
But she still refused to reconcile with Zhao Lin.
If you say there is no reason, no one would believe it.
"Could the rumor be true?" Zhao Mingzhu said to herself.
"Absolutely not, mother is not that kind of person." Zhao Mingyue said quickly.
Zhao Mingxiao sighed, "Whether it's true or not, my parents' love for Chen Han is real. For this reason alone, Chen Han will always be our younger brother, the Marquis's Prince."
Zhao Mingzhu said, "I didn't mean to drive Chen Han away. I wanted to bring Zhao Lin back. Wouldn't it be better for the Marquis' Mansion to have a governor? Why doesn't mother agree?"
Zhao Mingyue said, "Why not write a letter to Dad and ask for his opinion?"
Zhao Mingzhu sighed, "This is the only way."
…
Although Princess Li Weibai had placed people in the palace, Zhao Lin's appointment as governor had little to do with her, so she only found out the next day.
"This guy, being a circuit censor is scary enough, but he even became a governor? Why does the emperor favor him so much?"
Li Weibai was surprised.
