Since you have to show respect to the dead person, why don't you take this opportunity to show your tolerance and magnanimity? In this way, the rumor that you killed the late Madam will be debunked, won't it? "
Mrs. Duan was also a smart person.
Soon, she came to her senses after her son's persuasion.
Seeing that his mother seemed to be persuaded by him, Zhao Zifei persisted.
"Besides, how can you do such a thing by yourself? Don't forget that you have just aroused my father's disgust. At present, the inside and outside of the family are a mess, and we need a suitable person to take over.
Mother, instead of being angry at a dead man, why don't you focus on how to show off your brilliance in front of the guests?
At that time, my father will naturally see your benefits. No matter how important a dead person is, it can't be compared to the care you take in front of my father every day, right? "
After listening to Zhao Zifei's words, Mrs. Duan had already made up her mind.
She put on the amiable face of a loving mother, and her eyes were full of gratification when she looked at her son.
"You are really sensible. In the future, I will have someone to rely on. You should know that I do all this for you. Only when I become the legitimate Madam of the Zhao Family can you smoothly inherit everything of the Zhao Family. "
Zhao Zifei's face also showed a bit of gratitude.
"I know your painstaking efforts, mother. We are one. I will definitely give you a hand."
Mrs. Duan nodded. After giving him a few words of advice, she sent him away.
Outside the door, Zhao Zifei looked back at his mother's room.
Oh, even now, his mother still coaxed him as a child.
Why did she say it was for his own good?
How could he not know that his mother did not like the Zhao Family at all?
It was just that she had to marry Zhao Yixuan for a reason.
Even though he was her own flesh and blood, in his mother's eyes, he was just a chess piece to be manipulated.
He pulled the lapel of his clothes, and his eyes were full of calculation.
His mother could still help him for the time being, but he could not put all his hopes on his mother.
After thinking for a while, he lifted his feet and walked in the direction of the guest room.
The next day, everyone thought that Madam Duan was going to fall out with Elder Zhao.
However, she did not expect that she would take the initiative to take charge of the religious ceremony for her late wife, who had caused her so much suffering.
Seeing her sincerity, Elder Zhao asked her to help clean up a secluded courtyard.
Mrs. Duan was more and more convinced of her son's judgment. She felt that after this, Zhao Yixuan would be willing to marry her.
But what caught her off guard was that the reason why Zhao Yixuan wanted her to clean the courtyard was to welcome a guest!
"Miss Ya, we've arrived at Master Gu's house. Please slow down and be careful not to knock your head on the ground."
Three large carriages were parked outside the Zhao Residence.
In the city, such a large and spacious carriage was rare. Moreover, there were three of them at once, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Both the coachman and the old woman who had just jumped off the carriage were dressed much better than ordinary people.
With a single glance, it was clear that the person in the carriage was either rich or of high status. He couldn't afford to offend them.
Zhao Yixuan also made an exception to welcome them. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he personally welcomed the beautiful person in the carriage.
The woman in simple and elegant clothes was veiled, revealing only a pair of crystal clear watery eyes.
There seemed to be a touch of sorrow in her eyes, which made people feel pity for her.
Even though the face under the veil could not be seen, the outline of her figure was rare.
Unfortunately, beauties were rare. Especially after entering the high gate and the courtyard, she could easily block everyone's eyes.
Madam Duan, who was the last to get the news, also hurried over.
However, when she saw the figure of the woman in the courtyard, she seemed to be frozen by someone.
How could she look so much like …
"Uncle, when can I pay my respects to my aunt?"
The woman seemed to have a cold and had not recovered, so her voice was a little hoarse.
Hearing that, Zhao Yixuan hurriedly said with concern, "You've been on the move and now you're sick. You'd better rest for a few days. Filial piety is not urgent. I've already asked you to prepare a quiet and secluded place for you. You should take care of your body first before you can help me with your aunt's funeral. "
The servants next to him could not help but gasp when they heard this.
When had they ever seen Elder Zhao, who was serious in speech and manner, be so kind to anyone other than his wife?
Also, this girl, whose face could not be seen clearly, was actually here to help with the funeral of the late wife.
Suddenly, some people could not help but look at Madam Duan.
In that case, didn't Madam Duan have no chance at all?
Although Madam Duan still looked indifferent in the face of those servants' gazes, she had made a note of Zhao Yixuan in her heart.
The other party was simply toying with her!
However, Madam Duan was not discouraged. Instead, it aroused her desire to win.
No matter who that person was, as long as they dared to block her way, she would make them disappear completely!
The small courtyard was next to the main courtyard where Zhao Yixuan lived.
Because of the previous owner's orders, the inside had been tidied up neatly.
After closing the door, there were only them in the courtyard.
Only then did Lin Mengya lift her veil and look around.
"It's indeed a good place, but Elder Zhao, you went too far just now. I got goosebumps."
Lin Mengya was pretending to be his niece.
Moreover, because she was wearing a veil, she could act with Cai Ru, who was disguised as an old maid.
Fortunately, Cai Ru was clever, and she communicated with them in a password, so they cooperated very well.
Elder Zhao was used to being ridiculed by her, so he did not feel ashamed. Instead, he asked her whether she had any trouble on the way.
Lin Mengya shook her head.
"Nothing else, but there are many spies in and out of the city. Coincidentally, the people you left in the Fang Family came back. Otherwise, we would have to go so far to avoid suspicion. "
Previously, Elder Zhao came back first for some reason, but he did not expect to be intercepted on the way.
Therefore, the group of people he left in the Fang Family to deal with the aftermath was a little late.
In this way, as long as those people's mouths were sealed, no one would know that Lin Mengya and her group got on the train later.
Fortunately, these people were Elder Zhao's true confidants, and they would never betray him.
Even if those people outside tried to investigate, the Fang Family City, which was almost an empty city, would not give them the answer they wanted.
Elder Zhao also planned to do so.
However, before he left, he still gave her the guest list for this event.
"I think we can win over all the people on this list, but we have to wait for them to come here, and then we can make a decision after careful investigation."
Lin Mengya was very satisfied with Elder Zhao's prudence.
But what she didn't expect was to see a familiar face on the list.
"The head of the Jun Family, Jun Wu Zhao? But shouldn't the head of the Jun Family be his father? "
In fact, Lin Mengya had a good impression of Jun Wu Zhao.
But compared to Li Ao, Jun Wu Zhao was too immature, and he was too impulsive.
She remembered that when they parted at the Holy Palace, he said that something had happened to his father, and he had asked her to protect some of the Jun Family members at a critical moment.
She couldn't help but sigh when she saw the name again.
Elder Zhao did not know about their past, and he only thought that she was wondering why the Jun Family had a new head.
"The head of the Jun Family had disappeared a long time ago, and the Jun Family was almost torn apart. If Jun Wu Zhao hadn't come back in time to save the situation, the Jun Family would have fallen. Even so, the Jun Family suffered a great loss.
Moreover, the people who had an affair with my biological mother in the past, and had even openly brought her back to the Jun Family to be a concubine were from the Jun Family. "
His father wouldn't have fallen ill if that person from the Jun Family hadn't been so arrogant back then.
He was definitely going to take revenge for this.
Jun Wu Zhao had managed to keep the situation under control, but there were still many people who opposed him.
Jun Rongrong's father was among them.
"So, you want to support Jun Wu Zhao to suppress your enemy?" Lin Mengya asked.
Zhao Yixuan did not hide it from her, and nodded.
"Yes, I'm going to turn that man into a stray dog. Jun Wu Zhao has a common enemy with us, and I believe he won't refuse our cooperation. "
Zhao Yixuan was full of confidence.
Lin Mengya could also see that Elder Zhao had a plan in mind.
She looked over the list, committing all the details to memory.
"Alright, I understand. But Jun Wu Zhao cares about his family the most, so you'd better be prepared to be rejected. "
Fortunately, Elder Zhao did not care.
He had other ways to deal with Jun Wu Zhao anyway.
After sending off Elder Zhao, who was ready to show off his skills, Lin Mengya declined all visits in the name of recuperation.
In just a short two days, all the people who could be ranked in the Zhao Clan had come to visit them.
Only Madam Duan, who had become a joke, didn't visit her in person. She only asked someone to bring her food and medicine every day.
Heh, this is a smart person. He knows what to do and what not to do.
They were now competitors, and whoever visited her first would have a lower status than the other.
Madam Duan took advantage of Lin Mengya's unfamiliarity with the environment, and the fact that Lin Mengya had taken advantage of everyone in the mansion. She thought that one day, she would show her weakness first.
But Lin Mengya stayed in the room for two days.
On the third day, she 'got better'.
The small door, which had been closed for two days, was opened, and three guests came in.
"We serve under the late Madam. Please help us inform her that we want to see our Young Lady."
Cai Ru asked them to sit down, and then went into the room.
Before long, the three of them were invited in.
