I saw my grandfather drink the medicine and fall into a deep sleep.

Yun Zhao went to the unused yard in the mansion.

In the yard, the injured people were being interrogated by their men.

"Did they recruit?"

"My Lord, I have confessed. These people are from the underworld. Someone paid them 10,000 taels of silver to kill Uncle Xie and his wife..."

Someone from the underworld?

Yun Zhao instantly thought of the people from the second house.

"Go and bring the people from the second house over here."

Not long after Yun Zhao finished giving his orders, Cuihua came forward to report.

"Master, the old master and old lady of the second house are here."

I heard that Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie were coming.

Yun Zhao turned around and walked outside.

In the main hall, Old Master Xie was scolding the housekeeper.

"Get out of my way. I want to go see my brother. If you dare to stop me, I won't let you go..."

Madam Xie also echoed.

"That's right. We heard that our eldest brother and his wife were injured. What do you mean by stopping us from going to see them..."

Seeing Yun Zhao appear, Old Madam Xie was shocked. Why did Yun Zhao appear here at this time?

"What are you doing here?"

Hearing Yun Zhao's words, Old Madam Xie's eyes avoided a little, then she smiled and said.

"Zhao'er, your great uncle and I originally came to discuss something with your grandparents today, but when we arrived at the gate of the mansion, we heard that your grandparents had encountered an assassin. We were worried..."

"Discuss something? What?"

Hearing Yun Zhao's cold words, Old Lady Xie replied.

"It's about Jiangnan's business."

Old Master Xie said immediately.

"I just received news today that our business in Jiangnan was robbed, and your uncle and his family were thrown into jail..."

The couple received a message from their son asking for help, saying that because of the food issue, the prefect had ordered their son to be locked up...

I didn't expect that my son would use the name of Uncle Xie, and the prefect didn't know how to respect him...

The previous incident caused a huge uproar. Many families in Jiangnan were investigated, some had their homes confiscated and were exiled, and some had to pay a large sum of money as compensation.

How could the second house have so much money now? They only had a few hundred thousand taels of silver. The rest of the money had been invested. Even if they sold all the things in the house, they could only get a few tens of thousands of taels of silver...

Moreover, their house was sealed, and now all the things in Jiangnan's house could not be moved. These things could not be exchanged for money. The most important thing now was to get his son out.

When they heard outside that Uncle Xie and his wife were stabbed and injured and their condition was very serious, they were extremely happy.

They had tried this method before, but it didn't work.

If Lord Xie was really seriously injured or dead, it would be extremely beneficial to them. The three sons of the first wife were all gone. They only needed to hold back the three nephews and prevent them from coming to the capital. They could ask Lord Heng for help and ask him to find a way to give Lord Xie's title to their second wife.

Unexpectedly, just as they were thinking this, they met Yun Zhao. And Yun Zhao looked so aggressive, would he vent his anger on them?

Seeing that they looked somewhat guilty, Yun Zhao sneered.

"Zhao'er, you are a princess, please help your granduncle and grandaunt think of a solution, write a letter to Jiangnan, and ask them to release your two uncles..."
