[What's the situation with the son of the Zhao family?] Xirui secretly contacts Xue Jing.

Why does she always feel like something is wrong?

It seemed that things had been going too smoothly ever since the head of the Zhao family came into the room and spoke the first words to them.

It went so smoothly that people couldn't help but wonder if there was some trick involved.

[Does the Zhao family have many sons?] Are there so many that they can abandon them for a few farmers?

No matter how Xirui thought about it, she felt it was unbelievable.

Xue Jing also felt that this was a bit strange, so he answered truthfully, "No, the head of the Zhao family has only one son, named Zhao Yan."

[The grandchildren are more prosperous, with three sons and two daughters. We just met the second son, Zhao Xian, and the third son, Zhao Yuan, today.]

Xirui had not had time to integrate all this information, so he could only write down the key points first and deal with the rest after he had dealt with this matter.

After thinking about it again, Xirui simply learned about the population structure of the Zhao family, and he felt that the words of the head of the Zhao family were not credible.

But she didn't expose him, and just continued to follow Zhao Fu's words, "Since the head of the Zhao family sincerely apologized, we are not the kind of people who would hold on to other people's mistakes."

Having said this, Xirui paused for a moment, and was not surprised to see Zhao Fu's eyes light up.

"It's just that..." Xirui's voice dragged out until he had admired the change in expression before he slowly said, "Admitting one's mistakes and correcting them is the greatest virtue. Since you have a repentant heart, how can we not give you this opportunity?"

"I wonder when your young master plans to come and apologize?"

Xirui's way of speaking, which sounded like he was gasping for breath, really choked Zhao Fu.

After hearing Xirui's last words, he directly overturned the evaluation he had just made of Xirui in his mind.

How can this little girl be easy to talk to?

He is just as difficult to deal with as the most eloquent brother in his family, Lao Ba.

They are truly a family of brothers and sisters!

“This…” Zhao Fu’s original plan was naturally not to really send his son to the Huang family to do whatever they wanted.

After all, he only has this one son. Even if he is not very ambitious, he is still his only son.

It was only because of the situation that he was forced to say something nice in order to make Huang calm down as soon as possible.

It's just a delaying tactic.

But now Xirui's serious look made him feel awkward.

While hesitating, he heard another question from the other side, "Why, you don't want to?"

Hearing the danger in her words, Zhao Fu shuddered and replied faster than his brain could think, "Yes, yes."

What happened in Suzhou Prefecture could not be hidden from these wealthy families.

They also went to investigate the people who were previously carried out of Huang’s Shipyard.

Not to mention, his Zhao family also had spies in the shipyard, and they knew exactly what happened that day.

"I will tie up the Huang family's people later. Please show some mercy and let those people outside go."

Once the words are spoken, they cannot be changed at will.

If Zhao Fu wanted to blame someone, he could only blame himself for underestimating the enemy.

Even though he had heard about Xirui's deeds at the shipyard in advance, he didn't take this little girl too seriously.

I just thought she was borrowing the power of her brothers and was just taking advantage of the power of others.

However, unexpectedly, Yinzhi and Yin'er did not say a word throughout the whole process, as if they were willing to support their sister no matter how she behaved.

Zhao Fu couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.

He couldn't help but feel sad thinking that their Zhao family was declining day by day, and now they couldn't even defeat a little girl.

In order to prevent his family from being implicated, he couldn't even protect his own son, and could only hand him over to this little girl, letting her do whatever she wanted.

What a shame!

Zhao Fu was deeply saddened.

Xirui didn't know what he was thinking, but she found his words a little funny. "Master Zhao, you are too serious. From the beginning to the end, I never said that I would do anything to those people outside, so how could I say that I would let them go?"

The way he said it made it sound as if she was cruel and wanted to put those people to death.

Xirui listened and felt quite uncomfortable.

He was too impatient to talk to the old fox any more, and just issued an ultimatum, "Before sunset today, bring your son to this small courtyard with his hands tied up, and you can take those people outside away, otherwise..."

"Of course, among those people outside, only those who clearly belong to your Zhao family can be taken away by you. As for the rest, you are not allowed to make decisions for them." Xirui reminded.

Those were people they had captured with great effort, how could they be taken back so easily?

Even if Zhao Fu offered his son in exchange, it wouldn't work.

This Zhao Yan was an insignificant person to them, but those hidden spies outside were different.

Those were people who threatened the existence of his family, and Zhao Fu could not let them take them away no matter what.

"Those outside are all members of my Zhao family. How could there be anyone else?" Zhao Fu thought Xirui was deliberately looking for trouble.

"Whether it is true or not is not up to you to decide." Yinzhi really couldn't help it, "Before we change our minds, hurry back and send your son here, otherwise, you will see what you can take away from me in the end."

He had never had a good impression of the Zhao family, and after what happened today, Yinzhi naturally disliked them even more.

Seeing that Zhao Fu was still hesitating, Yinzhi could no longer bear it and shouted outside, "Come here, send the head of the Zhao family back, and ask Mr. Zhao to come over and see him."

People who have led troops for many years are always more capable of action than just talking.

Tang You and others rushed into the main room, and with a strong and unyielding attitude, they waved their hands in front of Zhao Fu and said, "Master Zhao, please come in."

Zhao Fu felt humiliated, his chest heaving, but he still gritted his teeth and endured it.

Unwilling to show his weakness in front of Xirui and the others, he said, "You don't have to invite me. I can go by myself."

"Today, your Huang family is blessed with good fortune, and all of your children and grandchildren are capable. Unlike my Zhao family... our family is unfortunate!" Before stepping out of the house, Zhao Fu left this sigh.

Even though he felt a thousand sorrows in his heart, in the end it just turned into this sigh.

If his children and grandchildren were capable, why would he have to plot to this extent!

Zhao Fu led his men out of the courtyard.

The moment he stepped out of the hospital gate, it seemed as if most of his energy had been drained away, and he instantly became listless.

The Zhao clan member who followed him was startled and rushed forward to support him, "Master! You must take care of yourself."

Zhao Fu just felt exhausted all over his body, and he no longer had the energy he had before he came.

"Useless!" This sigh was not sure whether it was directed at himself or at the Zhao family.
