Zhao Lin shook his head: "You can't help with this matter, so don't interfere, lest you get involved."
Bai Shiyuan said: "Then we can always do what we can."
Zhao Lin thought for a moment and said to Bai Shiyuan, "Go to the Fu Mansion and tell my wife not to worry. Both my father-in-law and Master Li will be fine."
"What about you?" Bai Shiyuan asked.
Zhao Lin sighed, "Although I won't die, I will have to pay a price."
"All right."
Seeing that Zhao Lin really had nothing to help with, Bai Shiyuan had no choice but to leave.
Zhao Lin sighed.
In order to lure Zhao Chenhan into his trap, he paid a lot.
"Master Zhao, someone is here to see you."
The jailer came with more people.
The jailer's expression was strange.
The others were imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, and few dared to visit them.
This is great. It’s only been one day and people are coming one after another.
Seeing who it was, Zhao Lin didn't show any strange expression: "You are finally here."
"Knew I was coming?"
Zhao Chenhan stood, looking down at Zhao Lin who was lying there, and asked.
Zhao Lin said, "Such a good opportunity to laugh at me, are you reluctant to take it?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Zhao Chenhan laughed heartily, looking up to the sky. After he had finished laughing, he said, "You're right. I really can't bear to leave. I want to see you, the governor-general who used to be so arrogant. Now you've been reduced to a prisoner waiting to be slaughtered. What do you think you look like now?"
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. I eat well and sleep well. If you hadn't come, I would have fought." Zhao Lin said sarcastically.
"Humph! You're still stubborn even when death is imminent." Zhao Chenhan snorted coldly and said, "After all, he's your biological son. When your biological mother heard that you were in prison, she couldn't even eat. What a pity, her own son disowned her."
Zhao Lin couldn't help but ask, "Han Yuehua treats you well. Even if you hate me, you wouldn't say that about her, right?"
"Be good to me? If you really treat me well, would you be reluctant to use the resources of the Marquis Mansion to help me?"
Zhao Chenhan was furious. "It seems they treat me well, but in reality, they are just pushing me to the forefront to be your substitute. Zhao Jingzhou's enemies only focus on me. I am in danger every day, while you are safe and easy in your high position."
Zhao Lin opened his mouth wide and looked at Zhao Chenhan in surprise: "Substitute?"
"Do you dare to deny that I am your substitute?"
Zhao Chenhan sneered, "This isn't the tactic you powerful families usually use. Pushing me to the forefront to attract Zhao Jingzhou's enemies for you, while you hide your identity and live your good life in the background. Do you dare to say that you can become governor so quickly without the help of the Marquis' Mansion?"
Pah pah pah…
Zhao Lin clapped his hands and said, "Did you figure this out?"
Zhao Chenhan said disdainfully: "You have a counselor, and I have one too, and it's even better than yours."
Zhao Lin sighed and said, "Yes, my father and His Majesty requested this position of Governor. Otherwise, how could it have fallen to me? Not only the Governor, but also the prefects, provincial governors, generals, and even the top scholar were all appointed by my father and the Emperor. Otherwise, why would the Emperor give the top scholar to me and not you?"
"I knew it, I knew it!"
Zhao Chenhan clenched his fists tightly, his face grim. "That bastard Zhao Jingzhou! He keeps saying he treats me like his own son, but he fooled and deceived me. He knew I wanted to be an official, but he never helped me and made me copy books in the Hanlin Academy. He was just afraid that I would become an official and surpass you, right?"
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "Yes, you are smarter than me. If you were an official, wouldn't the governorship and everything else be yours? But what if you knew? Do you dare to confront your parents? Do you dare to tell anyone?"
"you?"
Zhao Chenhan gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! Your whole family deserves to die! I'm going to kill you all! Kill you all!"
Zhao Lin looked down on him.
With this kind of brain, you still dare to fight with me?
If it weren't for the purpose of dealing with Zhao Jingzhou and his wife, a hundred Zhao Chenhans would have been crushed to death long ago.
Zhao Lin said lazily, "Even if you hate us, what does it matter? When you return to the mansion, you still have to call us father, mother, and sister. You are just a dog raised by our mansion, a dog that attracts the attention of my enemies. Do you understand?"
"Damn it! You all deserve to die!"
Zhao Chenhan roared angrily.
The jailer came over and shouted, "Prince Zhao, keep your voice down."
Zhao Chenhan looked back fiercely, which scared the jailer.
What kind of look is that? It's full of resentment, cruelty, and brutality. It's not the look a gentle and kind Hanlin should show.
The jailer left quickly.
"Hmph, so what if you lied to me? I still put you in jail, and even Zhao Jingzhou couldn't save you." Zhao Chenhan said.
Zhao Lin said with a grin, "Your Majesty won't kill me, nor will he completely dismiss me from my post. He'll just demote me to continue serving as a prefect or governor. When my brother-in-law takes the throne, won't I be able to return? As for you, once my brother-in-law takes the throne, you'll be useless. What will happen to you? Just imagine it yourself."
"Humph, you're lying to me."
Zhao Chenhan suddenly regained consciousness and said, "You must be lying to me, otherwise you wouldn't tell me, right?"
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "Is it a lie? Don't you know it? I dare to tell you because even if you know, what will happen? Can you leave our mansion? Without the mansion, you are nothing. From now on, you still play the role of a good son and a good brother. I hope that I can give you some benefits when you are no longer useful."
"Zhao Chenhan, you are just a dog in our family. Don't take yourself too seriously."
"You've served me well, so I'll give you some dog food as a reward."
"If you don't serve me well, I won't even spare your life!"
Zhao Lin's provocative words completely infuriated Zhao Chenhan.
