After the zombies traveled through time, they were tricked by the villain into becoming a stepmother

After all, the old ones are the wisest. This short narration clearly explained the cause and effect. If it wasn't for Zhao Jiuniang herself, she would have nodded and agreed to her grandmother's arrangement.

"Mother!"

A muffled angry voice came from the partition. Chu Chi turned his head and saw that Shen Xiaowu and his friends had come over. He ran over with his tiger-head shoes and approached them to ask questions.

"Have you guys agreed on this?"

"That's about right. Just wait and see what happens next."

In fact, Chu Chi didn’t quite understand, but out of consideration for her surging self-esteem, she still pretended to be smart and nodded accordingly.

He looked around again and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Where is the county lieutenant?"

Shen Mufeng answered every question.

"I asked him to go out and do something and come back later."

"Oh."

Chu Chi once again demonstrated his excellent habit of not thinking about things he couldn't figure out. He turned around and sat back in his previous seat, picked up his chopsticks and pricked up his ears, and continued to eat snacks and melons.

The Zhao brothers reacted instinctively and quickly distanced themselves from the evil star. Zhao Wensheng chose a seat farthest from her and sat down. He stroked his chest and gasped several times, thinking that he might have been stepped on and suffered the legendary internal injuries.

After looking at his youngest brother who was hiding aside and pretending to be a coward, he glared at the troublemaker fiercely before turning his gaze to his mother.

"Don't rush to make a move, wait a moment."

He had been standing by and listened almost entirely, and knowing that his wife, who was always narrow-minded, would definitely have objections, he looked up and tried to reassure her with his eyes, asking her to stay calm.

The old lady's eyes flickered and she asked softly.

"What are you waiting for?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the servant who had just reported that someone had broken in came running to the door again.

"Oh no, master! The clan leader is here with his men!"

Zhao Wensheng was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger. He could only glare at the dumb dog.

Who taught you to report like this?

Will he become a servant?

Can you ever say anything pleasing to the ear in your life?

However, before he could explode, the Zhao clan leader came over with many clansmen.

Zhao Zizhan, the current patriarch of the Zhao family, is actually not that old. Compared to the leaders of some large families, he is too young at just over 40 years old. However, this man's character and cunning are worthy of his status and means.

As soon as he came in, he politely bowed and greeted his sister-in-law.

"Fourth sister-in-law, it's been a while since we last met. I've been busy with family affairs and haven't had time to come visit you. I hope you won't blame me.

Have you been feeling better lately? If you still feel uncomfortable, why not just take the message from the clan and ask the old imperial physician Huo to come and take a look?"

Don't hit someone who smiles at you, and always ask about their well-being when you speak.

Even though Old Madam Zhao was older and had a third-rank imperial decree, she still didn't dare to act arrogantly in front of the clan leader. After all, the last thing aristocratic families lacked was official positions.

So she quickly stood up and greeted him with a smile.

"You are too polite, Chief. You are very busy, everyone. You have to work hard for the clan all the time. How could my sister-in-law deliberately choose such an unnecessary gift?

It's also true that my body is not good enough, and I have all kinds of problems as I get older. But fortunately, my children at home are filial and have almost taken care of me.

Old Imperial Physician Huo is here to retire, not to open a clinic in Yingzhou Prefecture, so it would be better not to bother him if you can. "

"That's good. Keeping your body healthy is better than anything else."

After the two men exchanged polite greetings, the Zhao family members hurried forward to meet the clan leader and exchanged greetings with the clan members.

"We are all family, why be so polite? Get up quickly."

Zhao Zizhan had a friendly smile on his thin face, and the old lady quickly responded from behind him.

"What the clan leader said makes sense. Come on, come on, please take your seats. Everyone else, please take your seats as well."

After leading everyone back to the hall and having them sit down one by one, the old lady's heart suddenly skipped a beat when she looked at the clansmen with unclear expressions and ill intentions.

She followed her heart very much and glanced over at the pink figure still sitting in the flower hall.

Fortunately, Miss Chu is still here. Suddenly, I feel less panicked.

He forced himself to smile politely again, and hurriedly urged his daughter-in-law to serve the guests quickly.

"Mr. Fu, quickly send someone to prepare refreshments and make sure to settle the clansmen in the side hall.

Sun, take Yu with you and bring the Wuliqing that Wenxing sent back last time. "

You take Yu with you.

The old lady pronounced these words very clearly.

It was not until the second daughter-in-law smiled and nodded in agreement, and dragged the idiot away without leaving a trace, that the old lady sat down with peace of mind, turned around and smiled and explained a few more words to the tribesmen.

"I heard that the production of tribute tea this year was not very large, and the emperor only gave it to a few ministers, and each of them just had a little bit to taste.

You said my second son was honest and filial, he didn't even want to drink a single sip, and had it all sent back to feed his mother. Hehehe..."

None of the elders present were fools, they all understood clearly what the Fourth Master meant.

Are they trying to use Zhao Wenxing to pressure them?

Ah!

The atmosphere in the room was solemn for a moment, until the servants respectfully brought tea and snacks. Zhao Zizhan smiled and raised his eyebrows, sipping his tea while looking at the elders who were already frowning.

His eyes moved around the room again, and through the hollow space of the half-flowered wall, he looked at the man and woman sitting in the flower hall not far away, eating snacks and drinking tea.

Then, the look in his eyes became even stranger.

Shen Mufeng looked up and politely bowed to him. His signature wicked smile was on his face, and Zhao Zizhan felt a headache from laughing.

He simply turned his eyes away, not bothering to pay attention to the two brothers of the Zhao family. He smiled reassuringly at the panicked little girl standing aside.

The seventh uncle of the Zhao family has always had a bad temper and doesn't like to care about the affairs of the women and children in the family. He didn't even look at the little girl, but just picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then put it down with a cold snort.

“Wensheng, you should know why we are here. Your family should handle it by yourselves. Don’t wait for the clan to take action.”

Zhao Wensheng covered his aching chest, pricked up his ears to listen to the noise at the gate of the courtyard, and then began to talk nonsense.

"Seventh Uncle, please forgive my ignorance. I really don't know why you are here. These rooms in my family have been peaceful recently and nothing has happened. How can I talk about dealing with them?"
