When the two arrived at their room and sat down, maids immediately served them tea. Smith waved his hand and had the maids leave, leaving only the two of them in the room.
When the madam saw this, she couldn't help but stare, then she turned her head to Smith and said, "City Lord, what's the matter? Why are you being so secretive?"
Smith's face sank, he looked at the madam and said, "This matter is too big. Today, I received a letter from the family, the family is preparing to send a 9th rank expert to deal with Zhao Hai."
The madam stared, then she knit her brows. She didn't care about the family's matters, but she still knew about Zhao Hai. This was because her impression of Zhao Hai was very good. In her opinion, Zhao Hai was an honest and reliable young man. Moreover, he was also very capable. Such a person wasn't easy to find nowadays.
Before, the madam didn't care about what Zhao Hai did. In her opinion, it was just Juwan's doing. She believed that Smith would be able to deal with it. But she didn't think that Smith would actually send a 9th rank expert to deal with Zhao Hai. This was too frightening. If a 9th rank expert was sent, then it would be a matter of life and death. How could it reach this point?
Seeing that the madam didn't speak, Smith continued, "What I mean is that we need to protect Zhao Hai. If Zhao Hai was really killed by the family, then no Dark Mage would trust the Calci Family. This would be a huge blow to the family."
The madam frowned and said, "But Master, didn't you say that the family would send a 9th rank expert? If they want to send a 9th rank expert, then it would be father and the Elder's decision. How can we protect Zhao Hai? "
Smith looked at the madam and said, "Madam, Megan isn't young anymore. It's time for her to get engaged. I want you to ask her what her impression of Zhao Hai is."
When the madam heard what Smith said, her expression changed. However, she didn't jump up to oppose him like other women. Instead, she sat there quietly and thought about it.
Smith was very happy with the madam's reaction, he looked at the madam and said, "I think madam already knows what kind of person Zhao Hai is. You've also met Laura and Meg. I think that if Megan marries Zhao Hai, then she wouldn't suffer any hardships in the future. This way, Megan would have a good home. We can also protect Zhao Hai.
The madam thought for a moment, then she nodded and said, "Zhao Hai is a good young man, but I have a condition. Even if Megan agrees, Zhao Hai must tell us his background. Otherwise, I won't let Megan marry him."
Smith nodded, Zhao Hai's background had always been a mystery, nobody in the continent knew about it. This was the only thing that Smith was worried about.
But now that the madam had agreed, he could proceed to the next step. Smith looked at the madam and said, "Since you agreed, then it's easy to handle. I want you to ask Megan for my opinion. After all, as a father, it's not appropriate for me to ask. You don't have to ask directly, just ask Megan about her impression of Zhao Hai. After all, they haven't known each other for a long time. Then you can slowly ask her about it. But remember, you only need a few days. I want to send a letter to Zhao Hai as soon as possible and have him come to Sky Water City. This way, even if Megan doesn't agree, we can still deal with the 9th ranks of the family."
The madam nodded and said, "Alright, leave this matter to me. Master, do you really like Zhao Hai? Sending a 9th rank expert was the decision of the majority of the family. If you really protect Zhao Hai, then you would offend the majority of the family. "
Smith sighed and said, "I don't think too much about it. The family's recent victory has made them dizzy. If they do this, then the Calci Family would be doomed." Then Smith told the madam about his and Phil's conjecture about the family's plans. The madam frowned, although she didn't manage the family's affairs, it didn't mean that she didn't understand the twists and turns. She grew up in a Great Family, so she was very clear about this matter. She also agreed with Smith's conjecture.
After Smith finished, the madam couldn't help but sigh and said, "The family has been suppressed by the Radiant Church for too long. Because of this, we felt that the world belongs to us. Alas, that young man Zhao Hai is really good. But now that he's with the Third Prince, this is very dangerous. Has Master thought about this problem?"
Smith forced a smile and said, "How could I not think about it? But this result was forced upon us by the family. You think that Zhao Hai is a fool, he's very smart. When he saw the family's situation, he immediately prepared a way out for himself. But this isn't a big deal. Although our Great Families don't participate in the struggle between the Princes, Zhao Hai still isn't part of our family. Even if he agrees to Megan's marriage, he's still an outsider, so there shouldn't be any problems. Also, if the Third Prince succeeds, then our family would have a lot of benefits.
The madam nodded and said, "Alright, I'll ask Megan in two days. What about you? When are you going to send a letter to Zhao Hai? Use the Blood Hawk that he gave you. Moreover, you have to do it as soon as possible. If the family sends a 9th rank expert, then it would be too late. "
Smith nodded and said, "I'll wait and see. Recently, I received news that Zhao Hai isn't in Jade Water City, he went out to sea. This makes it very difficult for us to find him. Even if he comes back, he would directly go to Jade Water City, where he should be safe. Because of this, I want to wait for Zhao Hai to return to Jade Water City before sending him a letter to Sky Water City."
The madam knit her brows and said, "Will Zhao Hai come?"
Smith said in a deep voice, "He will definitely come. From the way he handled things these two times, it seems like he doesn't want to be in a deadlock with the family. However, he also isn't the type to suffer losses. However, his impression of us should be pretty good. I'll send him a letter, he will definitely come."
The madam nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll ask Megan's opinion as soon as possible." Smith nodded, then he sighed. The madam looked at him and knew that he was embarrassed, so she comforted him, "It's alright, Master. The Calci Family has been through many ups and downs for many years, but it still stands strong. It wouldn't be easy for us to collapse."
Smith sighed and said, "It's precisely because the Calci Family has existed for so many years that my father thought that nothing would happen. If the Radiant Church didn't place a blade on our neck, then the family wouldn't have reacted. Although we won, the Radiant Church's overall strength didn't affect us much. Our biggest enemy is still there, but the family can't wait to clean up. It's really sad." Smith sighed and said, "That's right.
The madam also sighed, she knew how much effort her husband had put in for the family. Now that the family had done something like this, it was no wonder that Smith felt sad.
In the afternoon, the madam went to find Megan who was reading a book in the study room. Megan didn't go out to play recently. In her opinion, going out to play wasn't very interesting. She had already played before, she had also eaten all the delicacies in the city, so there wasn't anything new to her.
Naturally, the madam knew what Megan was thinking. She quietly stood in front of the study room and looked at her daughter who was reading. She couldn't help but sigh, her daughter had finally grown up and reached the age of marriage.
After staring for a moment, the madam coughed, waking Megan up. She looked up and saw the madam, she immediately put down the book in her hand and stood up, "Mother, why did you come to the study room? You didn't go to the medicine garden today? "
The madam smiled and said, "I can't stay in the medicine garden all day. Megan, I saw that you didn't go out to play these days. What's wrong? Are you unhappy? "
Megan shook her head and said, "I'm not, I just feel that it's boring. Going out is just eating and drinking, it's very boring. I might as well stay at home and read."
The madam went to Megan's side and gently stroked her hair. Then she smiled and said, "My little Megan has grown up, you've become sensible. Hehe, your father must be very happy."
Megan pouted and said, "No, I already told father to find something for me to do. But up until now, he hasn't arranged anything for me. I can only stay in the study room and read books, I'm bored to death."
The madam couldn't help but laugh, then she looked at Megan and said, "Silly girl, do you think that handling those things is fun? It's even more boring than reading books. Otherwise, why would I hide in the courtyard and plant herbs every day? I don't want to take care of the family's matters. Silly girl, you actually want to take care of it. "
Megan stuck out her tongue and giggled. The madam looked at Megan and couldn't help but sigh. However, she still whispered, "Megan, do you miss Laura and the others?"
When Megan heard the madam, her expression couldn't help but turn gloomy. Then she nodded and said, "I miss them. Sister Laura and the others are my best friends, they even saved my life. But now, the family wants to force them. Mother, can't father stop them?"
The madam sighed and said, "Silly girl, do you think that your father is the Patriarch? Sometimes, your father can be very impatient, he has to listen to the family. "
Megan didn't say anything. Although she didn't care about the family's matters, she was still a child who grew up in a Great Family. She had a certain understanding of these matters. She also knew that her father could be very impatient sometimes.
When the madam saw Megan's expression, she knew what her daughter was thinking. She whispered to Megan, "This time, the family was wrong. I don't know what happened to Zhao Hai and the others. Right, Megan, what do you think about Zhao Hai?"
When Megan heard the madam, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat. To be honest, Megan's impression of Zhao Hai was very good. When she was assassinated, she asked Laura and Meg about it. The two said that it was Zhao Hai who reminded them. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to save Megan. Because of this, Megan was very grateful to Zhao Hai.
However, Megan was a girl, her face was thin. Therefore, she didn't take the initiative to thank Zhao Hai. However, when Zhao Hai lived in Sky Water City, she had some contact with Zhao Hai. In her impression, Zhao Hai always had a gentle smile on his face. He doted on Laura and Meg, this kind of doting made Megan jealous.
Most importantly, Zhao Hai was very respectful towards them. He let Laura and Meg do their work, he trusted Laura and Meg very much. Such a man always had something that attracted Megan. Because of this, when the madam asked about Zhao Hai, Megan's heart couldn't help but beat faster. Her face couldn't help but turn red.
The madam was an experienced person, so when she saw Megan's appearance, she knew what Megan was thinking. She couldn't help but sigh, this was truly a case of a grown girl. However, she still said, "Mister Zhao Hai recently beat up your Fifth Uncle. Your Fifth Uncle led a 20 year old ship to rob Mister Zhao Hai. Instead, they were robbed by Zhao Hai. I heard that he is still at sea."
Megan stared, then she looked at the madam and said, "Mother, why is Fifth Uncle like this? Why does he always look for trouble with Mister? "
The madam sighed, then she said, "It's not just that. Today, your father received a notice from the family. The family is preparing to send a 9th rank expert to kill Mister Zhao Hai. I'm afraid that Mister wouldn't be able to escape this time."
Megan's face turned pale, she looked at the madam and said, "Mother, is what you said true? The family is really going to send a 9th rank expert to kill Mister? How can the family do this? This won't do, I have to go and find my father. I must save Mister. "
The madam quickly pulled Megan and said, "Megan, wait a moment, don't worry. Your father and I have already discussed this matter. This time, the family will send a 9th rank expert to kill Mister Zhao Hai. This isn't something that a single person can decide. This includes your grandfather's idea, as well as the elders' idea. If you want to save Mister Zhao Hai, it will be very difficult. At least, your father's status isn't enough."
Megan's face was filled with panic, she anxiously said, "Mother, what should we do? Do we just watch the family's 9th rank expert kill Mister? "
The madam looked at Megan's appearance and knew what she was thinking. The madam patted Megan's hand and said, "If you want to save Mister, your father has already thought of a way. Megan, you aren't young anymore, it's time for you to find a husband. I already told your father that I'm going to arrange a marriage for you. Which family's young man do you fancy? Tell me, I'll help you. "
When she heard the madam, Megan's pale face turned red, she pouted and said, "Mother, we are talking about Mister Zhao Hai's matter, why are we talking about me?"
