Along the way, although Ye Zhen was sitting in the carriage, she was stunned by the bustling scene outside. How did this Zhao Island turn a small island into a prosperous city like the capital? It was completely different from what she had imagined.
"I haven't been back to Zhao Island for a few years, but it has changed a lot." Zhao Tianji sighed.
"Then … who did all these?" Ye Zhen asked in surprise.
Zhao Tianji said, "Although there was a bazaar in the past, foreign merchants could not come in. Now, there are foreigners everywhere. Well, big brother is indeed more suitable to be the Island Master. Under his leadership, the Zhao Family Island has become a small country."
This is the credit of Zhao Mingxiao? Ye Zhen was even more surprised. It seems that this person is really not simple.
Huangfu Chen frowned, not knowing what to think.
After a while, the carriage gradually stopped, and Liang Yin's voice sounded from outside. "Island Owner, we are here."
If the previous bustling scene surprised Ye Zhen, then the palace-like building she saw now had completely rendered her speechless.
"Did big brother turn the old house into a palace?" Zhao Tianji turned to ask Yuan Cheng.
Yuan Cheng replied in a low voice, "This was built only half a year ago. The eldest young master said that this is suitable for the island owner to live in."
Does an island owner need to live in a palace to meet his status? Ye Zhen looked back at Huangfu Chen.
Zhao Tianji laughed and looked at the palace in front of him. Although it was not comparable to the real palace, it was still much more imposing than the old house before. "Where is big brother?"
"The eldest young master is very happy to know that you are back. He is waiting for you inside." Yuan Cheng said respectfully.
"Let's go in!" Zhao Tianji said. It seemed that although his big brother used to be weak, he was still better than him in some aspects. If he was the master of this island, it would certainly not be as prosperous as it is today.
Yuan Cheng looked at Huangfu Chen warily and asked Zhao Tianji, "Island Owner, is it … not good to bring outsiders into the palace?"
Zhao Tianji said lightly, "There are no outsiders here."
Isn't Huangfu Chen an outsider? Yuan Cheng wondered why the island owner would bring Huangfu Chen into Zhao Island again. Was the lesson of a few years ago not enough?
Liang Yin pushed the wheelchair into the gate. Ye Zhen didn't understand Liang Yin. He no longer sat in a wheelchair on the ship. Why did he have to be pushed when he returned to Zhao Island?
Huang Fuchen walked past Yuan Cheng calmly and signaled for Ye Zhen to follow him.
Yuan Cheng looked at Huangfu Chen with a frown and signaled the guard to close the door.
With yellow tiles and red walls, the specifications of this mansion were exactly the same as those of the imperial palace. Ye Zhen even had the illusion that she was walking in the palace, not on Zhao Island.
After passing through the long red-walled alley, Ye Zhen saw the main hall in front of her. There were several figures standing on the stone steps of the main hall, and the one standing at the front was a handsome and elegant young man. He smiled at Zhao Tianji, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and then slowly looked at the others. When his eyes fell on Huang Fuchen, the smile on his face gradually faded.
Huangfuchen?!
Why was he here?
"Big Brother." Zhao Tianji had already arrived at the bottom of the stone steps. He looked at the refined and handsome young man with a smile and said, "I haven't been back for several years. I almost couldn't recognize this place as the old residence of our Zhao Family."
It turned out that this young man was Zhao Tianji's big brother, Zhao Mingxiao!
Zhao Mingxiao slowly walked down the stone steps, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth again. "I asked you to come back every year, but you didn't want to come back at all. How dare you say this?"
"Big Brother, you look good. It seems that you have recovered from your illness." Zhao Tianji saw that Zhao Mingxiao's face was no longer pale, and he was happy for him. "Fortunately, Chen cured your illness back then."
Speaking of Huang Fuchen, Zhao Mingxiao's eyes flashed with coldness. "Tianji, why did you bring the enemy of our Zhao Island? Do you want to capture him and make him apologize to our islanders who died back then? "
Zhao Tianji said, "Big Brother, what happened back then had nothing to do with Chen. Someone deliberately framed him."
"So many of our islanders died. Can saying that it has nothing to do with Chen erase his crime?" Zhao Mingxiao's face darkened. He seemed very unhappy that Zhao Tianji was defending Huang Fuchen.
"Big Brother, if Chen really wanted to destroy our Zhao Island, we wouldn't be standing here now." Zhao Tianji said in a low voice, "You should know how long the Huangfu Family has been suppressing our island …"
Zhao Mingxiao obviously didn't like hearing this. He said with a sullen face, "Just because he is from the Huangfu Family, he can sneak attack our Zhao Island?"
"It seems that you don't know my master very well. If my master wanted to sneak attack …" Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows and glanced at Zhao Mingxiao. "Your Zhao Island is like a hundred years ago. Not even a blade of grass grows, and the people are extinct. Do you still want to keep you here to frame my master?"
"Who are you?" Zhao Mingxiao looked at the beautiful woman and became more and more displeased with the person Zhao Tianji brought back.
Huang Fuchen said lightly, "She is my disciple, Young Master Zhao. I haven't seen her for a long time. It seems that … there are many misunderstandings between us."
"There are no misunderstandings between us, Huang Fuchen. Zhao Island does not welcome you. Please leave immediately," Zhao Mingxiao said coldly.
"Big Brother, there is no evidence that points to Huang Fuchen when we were attacked. He left to find Mu Qing and was later seriously injured on the Spirit Snake Island. I have already investigated this matter." Zhao Tianji said in a low voice.
Zhao Mingxiao looked at him unhappily. He didn't like his brother mentioning Mu Qing. "Tianji, haven't you been deceived by him enough?"
"Whether he will lie to me or not, I know it in my heart." Zhao Tianji said lightly, "Big Brother, I am back today. Let's not talk about these things for the time being. We will find out who framed Huang Fuchen in the future."
"You are the Island Master. You have the final say." Zhao Mingxiao said coldly, "Yuan Cheng, send the Island Master back to his palace."
Yuan Cheng answered in a low voice. "Island Master, please."
Zhao Mingxiao looked at Huang Fuchen and said coldly, "Tianji, the others are not our people after all. They can't live in the palace. I will arrange another residence for them."
"Big Brother, they want to treat my legs, so they can stay in my courtyard," Zhao Tianji said.
"Treat your legs?" Zhao Mingxiao raised his eyebrows and looked down at Zhao Tianji's legs. "Can they treat your legs?"
Mu Xue stood beside Zhao Tianji. When she heard Zhao Mingxiao's words, she wanted to say that the Second Young Master's legs were already able to walk. However, before she could speak, Zhao Tianji said with a smile, "Although he can't walk yet, he is already getting better."
Zhao Mingxiao's expression softened a little. "Then I will listen to you. However, even if they can treat your legs, I will not let go of what happened back then."
