"I just got the news." Zhao Jue shrugged and said helplessly: "Speaking of which, this is the eldest brother's first child and the madam's eldest grandson, so even if the madam doesn't like the girl, she will still be angry because of this child. compromise."
"How, how could this happen? Then isn't my daughter..."
Mother-in-law's face turned gray and she slumped on the ground, her eyes full of unwillingness.
That's right, her daughter was also pregnant after being forced by Zhao Xun.
That's why she hoped that the madam and the eldest young master would be noble and give her daughter a home for the sake of the child.
Unexpectedly, instead of being soft-hearted, the madam and the eldest young master had the children knocked out of her daughter's belly, so that her daughter could no longer have children and suffered inhuman torture.
But unexpectedly, the same thing happened as before, but the result was completely different.
How pitiful her daughter is now, how much she hates the unkindness and unrighteousness of the mother and son back then.
"I am so loyal to her! Am I not as good as a little prostitute from outside?"
My mother-in-law seemed to be crazy, and she gritted her teeth and cursed bitterly.
"Since they are unkind, you can't blame me for being unjust. They owe this to my daughter, and they must pay the price!"
Zhao Jue was quite satisfied with this result.
He felt that he had not done anything bad, but that he was a great benefactor to his mother-in-law and daughter.
All the bad things were caused by Bai Jing and her son. He just chose to go with the flow.
"Mother-in-law doesn't have to be so sad. It's a good thing to see clearly their unkindness and unrighteousness early. I will definitely not treat you mother and daughter badly in the future."
Zhao Jue successfully won over his mother-in-law's heart.
After his mother-in-law gave up on Bai Jing and her son, Zhao Jue also got the news he wanted to know.
"I overheard Madam saying before that my cousin will definitely be kicked out in the future? I don't know where she got the confidence. You know, my cousin is very proud now, and the entire Zhao family has to rely on it. I'm afraid that my mother's attitude will completely piss off my cousin and drag down the future of our entire South Campus."
He spoke in detail, never letting go of his mother-in-law's expression.
The mother-in-law was also full of hatred towards Bai Jing, so she immediately confessed to Zhao Jue without any scruples.
"I don't know much, but I heard that Madam occasionally mentioned the man from the Zhao family. It seems that his identity is somewhat irregular."
"Oh, how can you not be honest?" Zhao Jue became even more interested.
"It seems that Mr. Zhao is not a serious member of the Zhao family. It's just that this matter was suppressed by the elders of the family for some reason. Even the elders who value blood the most didn't care about it. Maybe it's just that the wife is jealous of others. Bar."
Although the mother-in-law is attentive, she is not Bai Jing's confidant after all, and the information she knows is limited.
When Zhao Jue heard these words, he had his own concerns in his mind.
Indeed, although his cousin had greater power in the Zhao family, everyone in the Zhao family was not close to him in private.
He heard from the old man in the house that his cousin always made a lot of noise in the Zhao family, whether he was getting married or living alone in a separate house, but in the end everything ended up being nothing.
Rather than saying that the elders obeyed him, it was better to say that they were a little afraid of him.
Is there really a problem with his cousin's identity? Or maybe he is the illegitimate son of a powerful figure in the Presbyterian Church, so he uses his family background to clear his name
When he thought of this, Zhao Jue felt a little dissatisfied.
If the cousin is really just an outsider, then he shouldn't occupy those things in the Zhao family.
As for his elder status, it is probably a big shot's compensation to the Zhao family, and naturally it will eventually fall on the real Zhao family.
Originally, he was still trying to win over Zhao Yixuan and his wife.
Thoughts, now that I think about it, I no longer need it.
When the position of elder was passed to him, the couple completed their mission.
At that time, for the sake of the big shot, he would be considered as being completely benevolent and righteous by caring for the couple.
As for the head of the Gong family, he couldn't give up.
A light flashed in Zhao Jue's eyes.
The reason why Zhao Yixuan and his wife were able to make friends with the head of the Gong family must have been because they borrowed the reputation and status of the Zhao family.
Therefore, if the head of the Gong family learned that the identity of the couple was completely false, he would probably alienate them in anger.
In this way, wouldn't he be able to win over him naturally
Thinking of this, Zhao Jue felt somewhat certain in his heart.
He also has good intentions, so as to prevent the Gong family master from being deceived by others, right
"Mom-in-law, I will help you with your daughter's affairs, but it's getting late now. Madam will definitely still need you to take care of her."
Zhao Jue comforted his mother-in-law with that considerate look again.
Although the latter is still a little worried, now, she has no other choice but to believe in Zhao Jue.
"Please ask the second young master to help our mother and daughter! My daughter's life is miserable and she can no longer bear the torment!"
His mother-in-law begged him with tears streaming down her face.
Zhao Jue sighed and said, "I'm just trying my best. My abilities are limited right now and there isn't much I can do, but I will definitely try my best. Don't worry, mother-in-law."
What else can my mother-in-law do
After she left with all her gratitude, Zhao Jue just casually tore up the letter and threw it into the brazier.
"It's not that I won't help you, but your daughter has already committed suicide by jumping into the river. Oh, how tragic it is!"
There was a bit of compassion in his brows.
In fact, before receiving this letter asking for help, he had received news from his mother-in-law's hometown.
Her daughter went completely crazy six months after she returned, and she committed suicide by drowning in a river a while ago for unknown reasons.
It's just that he withheld all the news. Originally, he was pitiful for his mother-in-law's pain of losing her daughter, but now it seems that he can't talk about it anymore.
"I'm doing this all for your mother and daughter's benefit, mother-in-law, don't blame me."
After burning the letter, Zhao Jue continued to sit at the table and copy the account books.
After making some changes in two less conspicuous places, he resumed copying.
I'm afraid Bai Jing never dreamed that the bastard she left behind because of her neglect of precautions would become a nightmare that she would never be able to get rid of in her life!
... ...
Fang Mudan woke up completely on the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
But the situation is a bit not good.
"She was overstimulated and her mind was damaged. To put it simply, she was stupid."
Lin Mengya came to this conclusion after seeing Fang Mudan.
Huo Xiao...
So, this is all his own fault
"Then what should we do?" Aunt Fang was a little worried and couldn't help but glare at her stupid son.
"Not to mention what happened in the past, if he was sent back to the Liao family like this, something big would definitely happen."
Otherwise, I just can’t help but talk about some things.
As soon as Aunt Fang finished speaking, Xiaodie ran over in a panic.
"No, it's not good! Someone from the Liao family came to pick up Mrs. Liao. Now she has entered the yard and is coming to us!"
Lin Mengya frowned, why did it come so fast
The person who came to the Liao family was their old housekeeper, and sometimes his status in the Liao family was even higher than that of Fang Mudan, the main wife.
The Liao family asked him to pick them up, and they must have saved money to make friends with Zhao Yixuan.
Good thoughts.
But he didn't expect that he would be turned away!
"What does this mean?"
Butler Liao was a little dissatisfied.
The two women next to him who were eager to please him also wiped away cold sweat.
"Well, the people inside must not have heard it. Butler Liao, wait a moment, and I'll call the door right now."
After saying that, he ran to the door of the small courtyard and patted it hard. Those who didn't know about the movement thought they were going to tear down the door.
Not long after, someone belatedly opened the door a crack.
It's Zhao Xiaodie.
He looked at the two women warily, then turned his attention to the only outsider. Housekeeper Liao looked at her again before asking, "What do you want to do?"
It looked like it was guarding against thieves, and it didn't have the atmosphere of a noble family at all.
Butler Liao had some disdain in his eyes, but he still said patiently: "I am the steward of the Liao family. This time I am here to visit Elder Zhao and his wife..."
"Well, my parents are not here, please come again next time!"
After saying that, the courtyard door was closed with a bang, which made Butler Liao feel disappointed.
He was also stunned.
Over the years in the Liao family, he has met many aristocratic families, big and small.
But no one would be so rude.
Butler Liao couldn't hold himself any longer.
He darkened his face and went to knock on the door himself.
There was a banging on the door, and he was so angry that he yelled.
"Irregular thing! I'm here to pay a visit to your master. Open the door for me quickly. If you delay the masters' business, your life will not be enough to pay for it! Open the door!"
Inside, Lin Mengya frowned.
It seems that hiding like this is not an option.
She glanced at Fang Mudan, who was hiding in the corner and shivering next to her, and sighed quietly.
What is this!
Outside, Butler Liao, who had been unable to open the door for a long time, was furious.
He didn't care about his dignity anymore. He picked up his robe and went up and kicked the door open.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Bai Su opened the door.
Facing the oncoming big foot, she kicked it directly without thinking.
"Ah-" A scream came from behind the door.
Looking again, Butler Liao, who was so proud just now, has now fallen into the snowdrift next to him. Those two thick legs feel familiar to Bai Su for some reason.
Lin Mengya felt her head hurt even more.
The man was finally dragged out of the snow by Bai Su.
But he was already dying and looked extremely pitiful.
Lin Mengya was too embarrassed to bully people like this, so she quickly had someone make hot ginger soup and gave her a bottle of Dida wine.
"Wow, you Zhao family and Zhao family are so bullying! I must tell the master when I go back, oh, it hurts!"
Butler Liao was in pain so much that he burst into tears.
Even if he was beaten to death, he didn't expect that he was just coming to Zhao's house to say hello to no one, but he didn't expect that he would become a greeter.
He barely held back a handful of bitter tears and looked at Lin Mengya and Fang Rao with a bit of resentment in his eyes.
He must make these people pay a price to make up for the pain he suffered!
As the parent of the perpetrator, Lin Mengya first had to show some sincerity.
"Steward Liao, I'm so sorry. This girl in my family is timid. She didn't mean to hurt you, she was just in a hurry. I hope Butler Liao can forgive her."
As she said that, she quickly took out some secret medicine for health.
"Small gifts are not a sign of respect. If Butler Liao has any other requests, just ask them."
