In other families, boys are popular because they can carry on the family line. But in the Zhao family, boys are everywhere, and daughters are a rarity.
"It's hot, I don't want to go out, Third Sister-in-law, you've been very tired carrying the child, sit down and rest, when will my Third Brother come back?"
Mrs. Zhao San felt a little aggrieved. Normally, her husband should have been by her side when she gave birth, but he was out on business and was far away, so he probably wouldn't be able to come back in time.
"He's busy with his work. It's more important than just having a baby. I can do it."
Mrs. Zhao Dasao was the eldest sister-in-law and was like a mother to her. She always cared about her and even asked her family to come and accompany her. Mrs. Zhao Sansao's grievances were relieved a little.
"That won't do. Let me ask for you. It's better for the third brother to come back. The child also wants to see his father first."
A hint of worry flashed in Zhao Letong's eyes, but he didn't say it out loud. His third sister-in-law's pregnancy was not going well. If his third brother was not at home, his third sister-in-law would have no one to encourage and comfort her, and she was afraid that something might happen.
Zhao Letong did what he said. He went to the Ministry of War to find his eldest brother and asked about his third brother's situation. Then he begged the prince to let his third brother come back as soon as possible.
Not long after I went out, I saw pedestrians pointing and talking with excitement on their faces. Something big must have happened.
"What are people saying outside?"
Feicui went to inquire about it and came back with the following: "The Qiao family of the Jinghai Marquisate and Miss Xu have broken off their engagement. They say the Jinghai Marquisate is unkind and unjust. Now that Miss Xu has lost this marriage, who will marry her in the future?"
"Xu Qianer?"
Prince Su finally brought about his own death and was demoted to a commoner. Princess Yi Yang was stripped of her title, but she refused to repent and even killed someone, so she was thrown into prison and was inevitably sentenced to death.
Xu Qian'er and her brother had a hard time. Both their parents were gone, and their grandfather was demoted. They temporarily lived in Xiao Yuanheng's house.
It’s just that my aunt took her anger out on Yi Yang. If it weren’t for her, would the prince’s mansion have ended up in its current state?
I don't have a good face for the two children. I just want to give them a bite to eat so that they won't starve to death.
Xu Qianer's only hope is to marry into the Marquis's Mansion as soon as possible, live the same wealthy life as before, and raise her younger brother. This is her last hope.
However, Qiao Yujiao had such a cold personality and her current status could no longer bring any benefits to the Qiao family, so naturally she canceled the engagement.
Marquis Jinghai obeyed his daughter's words, and it was useless for Madam Wu to try to stop him. He actually sent someone to cancel the engagement. Xu Qianer was heartbroken and her last hope was gone.
"The Qiao family has really gone too far. They are such capricious villains."
Even jade can't stand it. People outside are saying this now. It is human nature to sympathize with the weak.
Zhao Letong, on the other hand, did not have much sympathy. "This is retribution. The evil that Yi Yang did will be repaid to her children. This is just the beginning. Her son will not have a good ending either."
"Ah, retribution, that Miss Xu is so miserable."
"Let's go, this has nothing to do with us."
Zhao Guo's official position has also been promoted. He is now the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Inspectorate and has been transferred from the Ministry of War. The court has a taboo that close relatives cannot serve in the same department to prevent them from covering up for each other and committing crimes.
The emperor trusted the Zhao family and was willing to use several of the Zhao children, so he transferred them to the Inspectorate, where he held real power and supervised all officials, acting as the emperor's eyes.
The Left Censor-in-Chief was now on par with Zhao Biao. Zhao Guo was a steady and careful person, and he quickly secured this position.
Zhao Letong didn't care about her family members' official positions. She didn't worry about it. Children won't grow tall if they worry too much.
I went to the Ministry of War first. Zhao Biao was there too, so I went straight to his duty room and waited for him to come back from court.
After eating snacks and drinking tea, Zhao Biao came back not long after. "Tongtong came to see Dad. She is so filial. She just happened to accompany Dad for lunch."
"I've always been filial, Dad. Why hasn't my third brother come back? Is his job more important than my third sister-in-law giving birth?"
"It's just a woman giving birth, what's the big deal? There's no one to take care of the family, why ask him to come back? Men should focus on their careers. I didn't ask your third brother to come back."
Zhao Letong was stunned. "I didn't expect you to be such a father. Then when my mother gave birth, were you not with her?"
"Yeah, she's already had several children. Can I always be with her?"
Zhao Letong, that is, his biological father. If it were someone else, he would have blown his head off.
Zhao Biao sensed something was wrong: "You want your third brother to come back?"
"Of course. Hey, Dad, I suddenly feel that you're not a good father either. Were you not there when I was born? Maybe I was stupid before because of you. You didn't take good care of Mom."
Zhao Biao felt guilty: "Not really?"
[Hehe, think about it yourself. I won't talk to you anymore, and I won't eat with you anymore. I'm angry. Third sister-in-law is giving birth, and Third brother must come back.]
"Okay, Daddy will listen to you and won't be angry. That little pouty mouth of yours could tie up a donkey."
Zhao Letong still didn't want to pay attention to him, "I'll leave by myself, you go ahead and do your work."
She hasn't been to Baiweiju recently. She wants to go there to eat delicious food and play with Brother Ye. She hasn't seen him for a long time.
Ye Heqi's cold poison has been completely eliminated. He is no longer troubled by illness. He no longer feels so cold and aloof. He has become more lively and looks like a real person.
"Le Tong is here, have you forgotten Brother Ye?"
"No, I've been busy lately. I came to see Brother Ye when I had time. I haven't seen him for a few days. Brother Ye has become more handsome."
Zhao Letong is also very good at coaxing people with her little mouth. The corners of Ye Heqi's mouth curled up unconsciously. Even though he knew that she was coaxing him, he still couldn't help but feel happy.
"Ask the kitchen to make you whatever you want to eat. Come have a meal with your brother. I have something I want to tell you."
