Zhao Letong clapped his hands and laughed at her embarrassment. "Dad, this is how she should be dealt with. Her ambition is written all over her face. Do you think we're stupid?"
The corners of Zhao Biao's mouth curled up. Of course he was not stupid, and his whole family was not stupid. Whoever treated them as fools was the real fool.
Zhao Biao was very fast and arrived at the Daxiangguo Temple outside the city in just half an hour. The carriages of the other female relatives took another hour and a half to arrive.
Zhao Biao did not bring a wet nurse with him. He held the child in one hand and went to the main hall first to burn incense for Mrs. Zhao and watch the monks chanting scriptures and performing rituals.
This year marks the second anniversary of his wife's death. Zhao Biao's eyes are red, and he misses his wife especially. He is a peasant with only a little strength. He accidentally saved the eldest daughter of the Zou family, who was then a county magistrate, and the eldest daughter promised to marry him.
Zhao Biao was a rough man, but he was able to marry a rich lady and was obedient to her. Later, when the victims of famine rebelled, Zhao Biao joined the army and suppressed the rebels step by step, supported the current emperor to succeed to the throne, and laid the foundation for the great family business of the General's Mansion.
It’s a pity that the lady didn’t enjoy much happiness and passed away early.
Seeing him reminiscing about the past, Zhao Letong felt bored and ran out to play with his short legs.
She wore a red cape, her hair was combed into two small buns, and tied with a red bow ribbon. There was a huge oriental pearl on the bow. She was really rich and beautiful, and at first glance she was obviously the daughter of a wealthy family.
Zhao Letong was not really a child. He walked around Daxiangguo Temple with his hands behind his back like a little adult. It was a royal temple indeed. The temple was solemn, quiet and peaceful, not as noisy as ordinary temples.
"This little girl is so beautiful. Whose child is she? Is she not accompanied by an adult? What if she gets lost?"
Zhao Letong was stopped by a sweet-looking, pure and lovely girl. She was about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a pink dress, and looked very lively and cute. Although she was not a stunning beauty, she had a lively and playful air.
Zhao Letong didn't say anything. This body didn't like to talk. It just tilted its head and looked at her. The girl was touched and reached out to hug her: "So cute."
Zhao Letong dodged, a look of vigilance on his face. "Who are you? How can you just hug someone else's child?"
"Auntie, where are you?"
The eldest nephew Zhao Youping came and was relieved to see her. Grandfather ran too fast and didn't care whether his grandchildren could catch up with him. What was even more unreliable was that he let his aunt run by herself. What if she got lost?
After picking up Zhao Letong, Zhao Youping saw the girl opposite him, "Whose family are you from? Thank you for taking care of my aunt."
Zhao Letong rolled his eyes. "Silly nephew, which eye of yours saw her taking care of me? Did you see a beautiful girl unable to walk? What if she's a human trafficker? Don't you know that scammers are all beautiful? The more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is. Didn't your mother, my sister-in-law, teach you that?"
Zhao Youping: "..."
Who spoke just now?
My aunt?
Can my aunt speak now?
But seeing that the girl's expression remained unchanged, Zhao Youping was a little unsure. His aunt was in his arms, could it be a whisper?
Instantly alert, the little girl saluted and said, "Sir, there is no need to be polite. I am the second daughter of the Marquis of Jinghai, Qiao Yujiao, nicknamed Jiaojiao.
Isn't the little girl your sister? Is she your aunt? An elder? How interesting! Your father is so amazing for such a small aunt!
Qiao Yujiao's maids were all shocked. Is this something she could say to a man outside her family?
Zhao Letong's mind buzzed. "Fuck, this is the heroine! She's some kind of modern person who traveled from the 21st century, emphasizing gender equality, composing poetry and songs, making ice and wine, and she's capable of everything. Everyone's crazy about her, going crazy for her, banging their heads against the wall for her."
[My nephew is just a nephew. She is destined to be the queen, and she has a female protagonist fate, so she is prone to disasters. All troubles will automatically find her. You are just cannon fodder, so don't get close to her.]
[I remember now. The Zhao family was a stepping stone for the heroine. If they stood on the wrong side in the future struggle for the throne, their entire family would be executed. My youngest nephew, who was only five years old, was also beheaded. How tragic.]
[If you want to save your life, stay away from the heroine. Go quickly, nephew.]
A series of words exploded in Zhao Youping's mind, making him feel a little indigestible. What was the 21st century? What was the fight for the throne?
The amount of information in it was too much, and Zhao Youping said he couldn't accept it.
But it was right to listen to my aunt, so I quickly said, "Miss Qiao, see you later. Goodbye, I have to send my aunt back."
He turned around and ran so fast as if there was a ferocious beast chasing him.
Qiao Yujiao was bewildered. "Aren't men in ancient times supposed to be gentlemen?" He had no sense of etiquette at all. Humph, a lowly man.
The maid Yudie advised, "Miss, don't tell your maiden name to a man outside your family, let alone your nickname, or people will misunderstand you.
Let's go back quickly, the lady should go find the young lady."
"I see, it's just a name, what's the big fuss? I just saw that he has a handsome appearance and a good temperament, so I wanted to make friends with him."
Yudie was about to faint: "He's a stranger, a man from outside. It's rude to even look at a young lady, let alone make friends. Miss, do you have a fever? Why are you talking nonsense?"
If the lady knew that the young lady was in contact with a man outside, wouldn't she beat herself to death?
The master did nothing wrong, it was the maids' fault, they were the ones who were beaten and punished!
"Oh, you're so long-winded. I get it."
Qiao Yujiao was very annoyed. The evil feudal era was so boring. She couldn't go out and couldn't do business on her own. She was the female president of a listed company. How could she display her talents?
Zhao Youping's heart was pounding. He carried Zhao Letong to a secluded place and looked at her carefully. Zhao Letong pursed her lips and said, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a cute little aunt before?"
