The eldest princess actually supported the Zhao family, which scared the Zou family. On the same day, Zou's uncle brought his clansmen to plead for mercy and promised to restrain the old lady. Only then did the eldest princess show leniency. However, if there is a next time, even if the old lady is in the coffin, the coffin must be dug out and the corpse whipped.
Old Madam Zou fell ill, but this had nothing to do with the Zhao family. To put it bluntly, Zhao Letong's mother had passed away for several years, and Zhao Biao was still helping the Zou family. He was already very loyal.
It’s just that the Zou family didn’t know how to cherish him and wanted to take advantage of him, so Zhao Letong can’t be blamed for being cruel.
It sounds bad to say that people get cold when they leave, but this is the reality.
Zhao Biao was extremely grateful to the princess, and the relationship between them became closer. Even the slow-witted Zhao Xing felt that there was something special between his father and the princess.
However, some people also say sour words. Zhao Biao is so old and looks so haggard, but he can still live off his wife. I am really curious about what is so special about him.
Zhao Letong didn't care about these undercurrents because his second brother Zhao Guo was coming back. His three nephews, San, Si and Wu, were the happiest. They waited for him at the door early every day and had no time to study at the clan school.
Finally, the Zhao carriage arrived. Mrs. Zhao, her brothers and sisters-in-law, and the children at home were all waiting at the gate.
Zhao Guo went to the local area to serve as the commander-in-chief. He was also a military general, but he was a deputy, not a governor, in charge of local military power. Now he has been transferred back to the capital, and Zhao Guo is mixed with joy and sorrow.
The carriage stopped at the door. Mrs. Zhao was the most excited. She tried hard not to lose her composure. Her eyes were full of her husband. She had finally been waiting for him to come back.
But when Zhao Guo got off the carriage, he saw that his family members looked very unnatural. Just as he was stunned, the curtain of the carriage opened and a woman in a moon-white dress came down.
The whole family was petrified and didn’t know how to react. How could he bring back a woman?
"Meet the sister-in-law."
Zhao Guo respected his eldest sister-in-law and saluted Zhao Da's sister-in-law first. Zhao Da's sister-in-law glanced at her younger sister-in-law and smiled unnaturally: "Second brother, who is this?"
Mrs. Zhao Er was also looking at him expectantly. Could it be some misunderstanding?
Before Zhao Guo could speak, Zhao Letong's inner voice rang in his ears, "This woman is not human! Why did my second brother bring back a goblin?"
"Second brother is so stupid! Father has already forbidden us from taking concubines. No matter what the reason is, my second sister-in-law is embarrassed."
[Poor nephews three, four, and five, I'm afraid they don't have a father anymore. Dad's temper is so bad he could kick his second brother out of the house.]
[But can this plane breed goblins? I'm afraid it would take thousands of years of cultivation to hide from the monks and Taoist priests.]
[Hey, I might as well bring back a ghost. I'm good at exorcising ghosts, but I'm afraid I can't defeat monsters. After all, their thousand-year cultivation didn't come for nothing.]
Zhao Guo was stunned on the spot, and Zhao Youning's nephews also looked at the woman curiously. What did their aunt say?
This is a goblin, not a human?
"I'm asking you a question, second brother. Tell me, if you rescued this person on the road while fighting for justice, you can't let him stay at home. Sister-in-law will help you settle him down."
The woman stepped forward and bowed gracefully. She was truly as graceful as a willow tree and extremely charming. The servants were so stunned that they didn't even realize that they were drooling.
"My humble daughter, Lin Susu, greets you all. Lord Zhao is my benefactor. He saved me from suffering. I was helpless and you were afraid I would be bullied if I stayed there, so I came to him. I'm sorry to have caused trouble for everyone."
Just as Mrs. Zhao was about to refuse, Zhao Letong smiled and said, "No trouble, sister is so beautiful, you are a guest now, come in."
Are you kidding? She’s a thousand-year-old demon. If you offend her, her entire family won’t be enough for her to kill.
"Brother, hug me."
Zhao Guo came back to his senses, "Little sister, second brother is so happy to know that you can speak, so he brought you a lot of delicious and fun things, and will send them to your yard later."
"Thank you, second brother."
This fairy sister is the greatest gift. She's truly a living ancestor. You can't provoke her, but you can't chase her away. Oh, it's so frustrating.
Zhao Guo originally wanted to take Lin Susu as his concubine, but he didn't expect that she was not a human being. Zhao Guo was scared and no longer dared to have such an idea.
Lin Susu was also secretly looking at everyone in the Zhao family, especially Zhao Letong, whose eyes were so bright that they were frightening. In her eyes, Zhao Letong was just a ball of spiritual energy, a ball of white light, and she even looked down on her face.
I don’t know if she has practiced at all. It’s impossible for her to do this without enlightenment.
Maybe it was brought from the womb, maybe it was the reincarnation of a big shot.
The group had different thoughts in their minds. When they returned home and settled down, Zhao Ersao sat next to Zhao Guo without even looking at him. There was no excitement or anticipation in her anymore, only indifference and resentment, which made Zhao Guo feel guilty.
But now is not the time to coax her, Zhao Guo just teases the children and cares about his family.
Soon, Zhao Xing came back first. He is now working as an assistant to Zhao Biao. Both father and son are in the Ministry of War. The cabinet has some opinions. Zhao Xing is afraid that there will be other arrangements for the next step.
Zhao Xing was not surprised by the emperor's favor or disgrace. He would do whatever the emperor arranged for him to do. It would be fine if he didn't work as an official and stayed at home. In his heart, family was more important than power.
"Second brother, you are finally back. You have been gone for two years. Your sister-in-law has suffered the most. You must treat her well."
Zhao Guo was even more ashamed, "I know, big brother."
Mrs. Zhao looked at the sky and couldn't talk. "You stay with my second brother and chat. I'll go settle the guests and prepare the food. Today we will have a family reunion dinner."
The one who was settled was naturally Lin Susu. Zhao Xing didn't even look at her. He took his brother to the study, and Zhao Letong also followed.
Before anyone knew it, Zhao Letong had become the backbone of the family, and she was indispensable in everything.
Zhao Guo's hands were shaking, and he couldn't even hold the tea steady. "Did I just hear something? It sounded like my sister's voice, saying Miss Lin is a demon."
Zhao Xing was very disappointed: "No, my younger sister has had some unexpected experiences. After she has become smart, she can let her family hear her inner voice.
My little sister also knows Taoism and can see ghosts. She is our family's lucky star."
"I see."
Zhao Guo asked, "What kind of demon is Miss Lin?"
[I don't see why. It's so hard to capture a demon. He's a thousand-year-old demon. Second brother, you're really lucky to be alive.]
"Are all goblins bad people?"
Some are evil, eating human hearts to maintain their bodies, while others are not evil and do good deeds. This Sister Lin has no bloody evil aura, so it seems she doesn't eat human hearts.
"That's good."
[It's not a good thing to say. Some monsters have other ways to maintain their humanity, such as painting their skin or using sleight of hand. Anyway, humans and monsters have different paths. You're out of luck, second brother.]
"Little sister, you've scared your second brother, what should you do now?"
Zhao Letong, [Let's ask the experts at the Imperial Observatory for help. We can't figure this out.]
"I'll go right away."
Zhao Biao opened the study door, but did not walk out. Instead, he slowly backed away. Lin Susu actually walked in, smiling harmlessly: "Master Zhao, where are you going?"
