Although Zhao Biao was at the height of his power, he restrained his family from keeping a low profile, kept the door closed, and refused to accept gifts or see guests. Except for attending court, he was so low-key that he didn't seem like a senior official of the six ministries.
Emperor Xuande was quite satisfied. Why hadn't he discovered such a good minister before?
Zhao Letong was also shocked. [Oh my, Dad got promoted. Doesn't that mean I'm the daughter of the Minister's family?]
"Dad has made it big! Now I can walk all over the capital like a sovereign, right?"
Zhao Biao listened with a numb expression. What could he do when it came to his own daughter?
Just pamper her.
The happiest person was Zhao Ersao. Her husband was going back to the capital, and they could be reunited with each other and no longer had to live apart.
Zhao Letong looked at her worriedly. [Second sister-in-law is in trouble. Dark energy is lingering between her eyebrows. This is bad luck.]
[This shouldn't be the case. Second brother has been transferred back, so second sister-in-law should be lucky, right?]
Zhao Youning listened to her thoughts and was also worried about his mother. He didn't want to go to the clan school anymore and stayed at home with his mother.
"But with me here, we can get through any disaster. It's not a fatal one, so it's not a big problem."
Zhao Youning looked resentful and said, "Please finish what you are saying at once. I'm so scared."
When there is pregnancy, there are troubles. The doorman came to report that Old Madam Zou had come again to save Zou Jinglan. For the sake of this daughter, the old lady was really unfortunate in her later years and had to work hard to ask for help from others again and again.
Zhao Letong felt a little disgusted with her grandmother. Aunt Zou was so bad because she spoiled her. Thinking about how domineering she was, her mother must have been bullied by her a lot.
Zhao Biao is not at home, and Mrs. Zhao is also worried. After all, he is her elder, and she can't control him.
Zhao Letong accompanied Zhao Dasao. If her grandmother went too far, she would give her a mute talisman to make her shut up.
Even children know that whoever causes trouble is responsible. How can she not understand this at her age?
As expected, Madam Zou acted as if she owed her eight hundred taels of silver. She sat in the main seat as soon as she entered the room and said, "When my son-in-law comes back, I will wait for him. You can do whatever you want. You don't have to serve me."
Mrs. Zhao: “…”
"Grandma, how could I neglect you? You know my father-in-law just got promoted and is very busy. If you have anything, just tell me."
"Okay, go and get your aunt back from prison. She grew up in luxury, how could she endure such hardship?
If she doesn't come back, I'll stay at your house for one day."
Zhao Letong rolled her eyes. What an unreasonable old woman.
Mrs. Zhao was embarrassed. "Grandmother, my father-in-law doesn't have that ability. Everything must be judged according to the court's laws."
"The law is nothing more than human feelings. Your aunt was implicated by the Zhang family. She knows nothing. Why was she arrested as well?"
Zhao Letong couldn't help but say, "You were the ones who wanted to marry Zhang Zhao in the first place. You can only blame your aunt for her bad luck. If Zhang Zhao could get a divorce, maybe your aunt would be fine."
"Divorce? Yeah, why didn't I think of that?"
The old lady left again and went to the prison to discuss with Zou Jinglan that they must divorce.
Mrs. Zhao sighed, "It's even worse now that Aunt Zou is here. She'll definitely pester my father-in-law!"
Zhao Letong's eyes flashed: "She has no chance."
"Really? Does Tongtong know something?"
"Sister-in-law, I'm going to the Princess's house to see her. You don't have to wait for me to eat. The food at the Princess's house is delicious."
Zhao Letong jumped down, but did not forget Fang Xinyue. She followed Madam Kong to learn martial arts, and the two of them rushed to the Princess's Mansion together.
The eldest princess was still worried about how to make this matter clear to General Zhao. After all, she was a woman, so she couldn't be forced into marriage, right?
"Miss Letong and Miss Fang are here."
The eldest princess said happily, "Please come in, little Letong. Have you forgotten me? How long has it been since you last came to see me?"
"Your Highness, aren't you here? Alas, I've been so busy lately that I don't have time."
"Haha..., hey, you little kid, what are you busy with?"
Fang Xinyue bowed. "Tongtong is amazing! Every time she goes out, she encounters a group of beggars bullying children. Yet, she saved five or six disabled children and raised them in her mansion. Isn't she very busy?"
"Yeah, those little brothers and sisters are so pitiful. Sister Fang is amazing. She made fake hands and feet for them."
The princess was surprised and asked, "Really? Miss Fang has this ability?"
Fang Xinyue said modestly, "I just figured it out. It's just a decoration and can't be used."
"Sister Fang will do better. She can even walk with her fake feet."
Fang Xinyue blushed a little. It was really nothing and she felt unworthy of it.
"They are all good children. I will go to your house to see those children and show my care for them."
"Well, welcome, Your Highness. My father is probably in trouble. Please come soon, Your Highness."
"What trouble?"
Could it be that the court officials were trying to trip up Zhao Biao?
Fang Xinyue recounted the Zou family's entanglement, and the eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief: "It's just a trivial matter. I helped him settle it."
Zhao Letong was happy. "Thank you, Your Highness. It would be great if Your Highness could live in my house forever. We could be a family."
Fang Xinyue's heart skipped a beat and she secretly looked at the eldest princess's face. Fortunately, she was not angry.
The eldest princess was delighted, "Le Tong also wants me to be part of your family?"
"Of course, Her Highness is beautiful and kind-hearted, just like Le Tong's mother."
Fang Xinyue: “…”
"Children speak without restraint, Your Highness, please do not be offended."
She was scared to death. This was the emperor's biological sister. Le Tong was so bold.
The eldest princess was a little shy. "Really? I love you too. It's my dream to have a daughter as good as you."
Fang Xinyue was puzzled. Could it be...
