Chapter 206 Ask Him to Dress Up
In Mo Yun Building, Zhuo Hongli had an extremely gloomy face and didn't even take a sip of the delicious tea in front of him.
Uncle Zhou frowned and said, "Master, it has been confirmed that Master Bai was murdered, not by poison. But his martial arts skills are not weak. Who would kill him? Someone from Xiu Mansion?" Master Bai is Bai Ziya.
"It's impossible that they are from the Xiu Mansion. Junior Brother saved Master Xiu's life, and he has lived in the Xiu Mansion for so many years without any problems. So it can't be them, but does Junior Brother have other enemies?
Those old guys died or disappeared, and I haven't heard of any of them coming out. Soon, my junior brother also hid very well, living in seclusion in the city. How could he be killed suddenly?
And the person who killed him was very strong, maybe stronger than you and me." Zhuo Hongli's eyes were grim and cold.
"I have also heard some news. Mr. Bai is very close to the Qingyun Royal Family. He should be making poison for the Royal Family."
Zhuo Hongli thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that Emperor Qingyun has used him up and is killing people to silence them?"
Uncle Zhou nodded and said, "It is very possible. The strength of the master of the palace, Eunuch Fan, is absolutely formidable. He is the apprentice of the former chief of internal affairs, Eunuch Zhang. Mr. Bai had a good relationship with Eunuch Zhang and the eldest princess before, but the eldest princess is disabled and Eunuch Zhang is dead. I heard that he died tragically. Could there be a connection here?"
Zhuo Hongli frowned and said in a deep voice: "They are all related to the royal family. We need to investigate it carefully. You go and make arrangements. I will meet this eunuch Fan in person."
Uncle Zhou immediately nodded in agreement.
"By the way, Old Zhao sent a message saying that the Fan family should be able to enter the city tomorrow afternoon. You ask the young master to make some preparations and let him meet Fan Mingzhu." Zhuo Hongli said.
"I understand." Uncle Zhou nodded. "Master, will you really accept Fan Mingzhu's temper?"
"Yu'er doesn't know Mingzhu's temper yet, and this woman knows that she can't marry a good man in Chen State, so she should be more restrained this time. Besides, she has been interested in Yu'er for a long time, and she will show her affection. Yu'er is obedient and will not object."
Uncle Zhou said solemnly, "What if the young master doesn't want to? I think he likes Mo Yunzhu."
"Hehe, Mo Yunzhu is the future Princess Lan. Even if he likes her, so what? Can he snatch her away from her? If he can, I really admire him. Don't worry, he won't dare to resist. If he really wants to resist, it depends on whether he can bear it."
Uncle Zhou nodded, and then continued: "If the young master and Miss Mingzhu get married, the young master will return to Chen State. Will he discover his background sooner or later?"
"So what if he was found out? I am his adoptive father and I saved his life. If I hadn't shown mercy, would he have survived? Besides, the current Chen Kingdom, even if he wanted to take revenge, it would be impossible. You don't have to worry about these things. I know what's going on."
Uncle Zhou was embarrassed and left immediately.
At this moment, Zhuo Yu was with Ji Xingyun. Knowing that if Ji Xingyun wanted to obtain the medicinal materials cooperation with the Fan family and open a clinic in Chen State, he directly agreed to lend money.
However, it was not Wanyao Pavilion's money, but his own personal money. He did not need to pay it back, just like Mo Yunzhu, he could just divide it into two parts.
Ji Xingyun didn't know his real identity. Zhuo Yu had the same idea as Mo Yunzhu. Wanyao Pavilion belonged to Zhuo Hongli no matter what. Unless Zhuo Hongli died, he, the young master, could take it over.
But even if we take it over, it will be impossible to clean out Zhuo Hongli's cronies in a short time. It will take a lot of time to conquer the Wanyao Pavilion of the Five Countries. Although we have our own people, it is still full of difficulties.
When he and Ji Xingyun separated, he happened to see Uncle Zhou's back, which made him very strange. Uncle Zhou was not with his adoptive father, but came out alone?
Zhuo Yu followed carefully and saw Uncle Zhou walking around and finally entering an old house.
Zhuo Yu knew that all the families here were eunuchs, and many of them were released from the palace to enjoy their old age after their time working in the palace was up.
Because there were many eunuchs, these people were afraid of being discriminated against, so they formed their own area and no one could make fun of anyone else.
Zhuo Yu was surprised to see the words "Lu Mansion" written on the old house that Uncle Zhou entered, because he had never heard of Wanyao Pavilion having any relationship with a family with the surname Lu, let alone a eunuch.
Uncle Zhou went in and came out soon after, with a smile on his face, as if everything was done.
Zhuo Yu asked around and found out that Eunuch Lu was the eunuch who had been sent out to other places, but one of his nephews was still working in the palace, and his position was not low.
Zhuo Yu wondered if his adoptive father wanted to have contact with the royal family?
Otherwise, why would you look for your father-in-law?
It was very difficult for ordinary people to enter the palace, but it would be more convenient if a servant could call them out or bring them in.
But who does my godfather want to see? He can't possibly want to get in touch with the dog emperor, right?
Zhuo Yu thought about the collusion between him and Chen Tianqi in the past in Chen State. Would he go back to his old ways and try to get involved in the Qingyun Royal Family?
He must tell Jun Huolan about this.
He knew that Jun Huolan secretly asked Long San to keep an eye on his adoptive father Zhuo Hongli, but there was no one watching Uncle Zhou, so he had to notify him earlier.
He went directly to Prince Lan's Mansion to communicate with Jun Huolan. Jun Huolan was also very surprised, and then asked Long Yi to follow Uncle Zhou.
The next day, Jing Ji came into Zhuo Yu's room carrying a plate.
"Young Master, you have to wear this new clothes today." Jing Ji said with a twitching mouth.
Zhuo Yu picked it up and saw that it was a dark blue silk brocade robe with gorgeous and noble patterns, a jeweled belt, and a crown.
"Did your godfather ask you to bring this?" Zhuo Yu frowned.
Jing Ji nodded and said, "The Fan family has already entered the city. The Ouyang Mansion is hosting them. The master wants to take you there for lunch."
Zhuo Yu's handsome face suddenly turned gloomy.
It was very clear what his adoptive father meant, he was taking him to go on a blind date with Fan Mingzhu.
But at first he thought Fan Mingzhu was the simple and kind girl that his adoptive father had mentioned. Later, Lan Yan and Jun Huolan found out that Fan Mingzhu was actually a spoiled and domineering crazy woman. He really couldn't understand why his adoptive father wanted him to marry such a woman and even lied to him about the fact that he would marry and have children for the rest of his life!
This made Zhuo Yu feel a little disappointed with Zhuo Hongli's kindness in raising him. He definitely didn't raise him to be his son, but just a chess piece.
Now is the time to use this chess piece.
But what is the purpose of marrying into the Fan family?
Wanyao Pavilion is already doing well in Chen State. What does my adoptive father want to do?
He has been living in Wanlian Mountain for many years and rarely comes out. Why did he suddenly come out and collude with the Fan family?
"Young Master, please put it on, otherwise the old master will probably be angry." Jing Ji said helplessly, "In fact, Young Master looks handsome in anything, there is really no need to dress so formally."
"Put it on. My godfather likes it. We can't refuse his kindness." Zhuo Yu picked up the clothes coldly and started to put them on.
An hour later, the father and son sat facing each other in the large carriage of Wanyao Pavilion and went to visit Ouyang Mansion.
"Yu'er, the people coming from the Fan family this time are Young Master Fan and Fan Mingzhu. Our Chen Kingdom's Wanyao Pavilion has received help from the Fan family before, and our two families are also good friends. You must be careful with Miss Fan later."
Zhuo Hongli was very happy to see Zhuo Yu's handsome appearance. Fan Mingzhu would definitely beg to marry Zhuo Yu.
