"Second brother, now that things have come to this, I'm afraid we can't let Fang Rao stay."
But Grandpa Zhao was clearly irritated.
So, he wanted nothing more than to take those things into his own hands right now, but he still had his own concerns.
"Didn't Fourth Brother say before he left that if we want to keep Zhao Yixuan at our disposal, we must keep Fang Rao as a chess piece?"
So, even if he felt that Fang Rao was a hindrance, he could only threaten her verbally.
After all, the Zhao family still needed Zhao Yixuan's wealth.
Grandpa Zhao's expression darkened. "She's just a woman. Only that useless thing would care about her. Second brother, are we going to return empty-handed just because of this woman? "
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Grandpa Zhao was also annoyed. His attitude wasn't good either.
"Can your brain only think of fighting and killing moves every day? If you could be like Fourth Brother, we wouldn't have been suppressed by him for so many years. "
Grandpa Zhao muttered in dissatisfaction, "You make it sound so powerful, but aren't you still suppressed by Fourth Brother?"
Grandpa Zhao glared at Third Brother.
This was really touching a sore spot.
But —
He sat down and narrowed his eyes, thinking carefully.
"Before we left, didn't the people from the northern college say that Fourth Brother didn't return?"
Grandpa Zhao didn't react immediately. "But didn't Zhao Xun say that Fang Rao might have harmed him?"
Hearing this, Grandpa Zhao suddenly revealed a meaningful smile.
"We don't know if Old Four is alive or dead, so the North Courtyard should send someone to ask about him."
Grandpa Zhao's eyes widened. After thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but clap and laugh.
"That's a good idea. The northern college will be the bad guys. Even if Zhao Yixuan comes back, he'll only find trouble with the northern college and not us."
Grandpa Zhao touched his chin. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was killing two birds with one stone.
No! Maybe it was killing three birds with one stone!
"First, the eastern college lost Zhao Jian. Now, Zhao Xun of the southern college is crippled.
"And all of this is coincidentally related to Zhao Yixuan and Fang Rao."
"Besides, the dowry that Fang Rao brought, besides our West Courtyard, didn't the other three courtyards also take it?"
"Now that Fang Rao wants to take it back, our West Courtyard doesn't care. At most, we'll just lose a little. Anyway, it's still within our acceptable range. However, the other three courtyards might not agree."
Although the members of the Zhao Family were all brothers, they usually lived in four different courtyards: East, West, South, and North.
Due to the accidental death of the previous patriarch, the four courtyards all wanted to be the next patriarch. Thus, they fought with each other and quarreled for many years without any results.
Until Zhao Yixuan showed up.
Due to the support of the Elders Council, Zhao Yixuan took over part of the Zhao Family's affairs with a tough attitude.
At that time, the Zhao Family, which had already been torn apart, did maintain stability for a period of time under Zhao Yixuan's powerful means.
Not only that, but he also showed great talent in business.
In a short few years, the Zhao Family, which was a third-rate aristocratic family that was strapped for money and had to maintain its face, became a second-rate aristocratic family.
After a few years of peace, the members of the Zhao Family in the four courtyards began to stir.
They felt that the Zhao Family's affairs shouldn't be handed over to a hoodlum who had been chased out.
Thus, they used the excuse of not having any descendants to force Zhao Yixuan to agree to nurture Zhao Xun as his successor.
They hoped that after Zhao Yixuan and Fang Rao passed away, all the wealth, power, and status he had created would belong to the Zhao Family.
But all of this aroused the dissatisfaction of the West Courtyard.
The reason was none other than the fact that in the past. Old Four, that guy, had a unique insight and had already won over Zhao Yixuan's heart.
And coincidentally, Zhao Yixuan and his son were from the West Courtyard.
Compared to rejecting the God of Fortune, what made people feel even more unwilling was that they had once offended the God of Fortune.
Therefore, in this aspect, the West Courtyard had obtained the least benefits.
But now, it seemed that it was better to come at the right time than to come early.
The other three courtyards had already suffered a double loss.
Of course, all the benefits would belong to their West Courtyard!
As for Fang Rao, hehe, the other three courtyards didn't dare to vent their anger on Zhao Yixuan, but they didn't have so many reservations toward Fang Rao.
Moreover, even if it was the North Courtyard.
Without Old Four, that fellow, suppressing them, this group of people basically wouldn't know how to restrain themselves.
It was a pity that they wouldn't be like Old Four, who could bewitch people's hearts.
The two old men of the Zhao Clan spread the news of Zhao Xun and Old Four.
The situation in the Zhao Clan was extremely complicated. Each of the four courtyards had their own spies.
They didn't even need to specially announce this matter. They only needed to send a message back and in less than half a day, the other three courtyards had already inquired about the cause and effect through their own people.
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples.
Other than the North Courtyard, everything was normal. The other three courtyards were in a commotion.
This was especially so for Zhao Xun's mother.
After learning that her son had been crippled by that slut Fang Rao, she cried non-stop in her own courtyard, causing a ruckus all the way to the main courtyard of the South Courtyard.
"Old Master, you have to seek justice for our son! It must be that slut Fang Rao! She can't give birth to a child herself, yet she still wants to forcibly occupy the position of our son! "
"She must have harmed Xuan 'er! We must avenge our son and protect our son's position as an elder! "
Zhao Xun was the legitimate son of the head of the South Courtyard, Zhao Gulian.
Although he had many concubines, his main wife and he only had this one son.
Originally, he had high hopes for this son, but now —
"Madam, please get up first. I will definitely make Zhao Yixuan give us a satisfactory answer on this matter."
However, he didn't promise to protect that position for Zhao Xun.
After all, other than Zhao Xun, he still had a few other sons.
He was very sad that his legitimate son had been destroyed, but more importantly, he had to hold on to that position.
Zhao Gulian's main wife, Bai Jing, clearly understood the person who slept with her the most.
She was startled and gritted her teeth in hatred.
She knew that other than herself, no one else would be so considerate of her son.
A hint of viciousness flashed through her red and swollen eyes. However, she hid it very well, so Zhao Gulian didn't notice.
She sobbed and said, "Right now, he's still there. I don't know how he's doing. Master, I want to go take a look and bring my son back personally."
Zhao Gulian pondered for a moment before nodding.
"Alright, but I don't feel at ease letting Madam go alone. How about this, I'll let Zhao Jue accompany you tomorrow. "
"He's 17 years old this year. It's about time for him to be like his brother.
He can help us solve our problems. Moreover, this child is very meticulous. With him looking after you and Zhao Xun, I can be at ease. "
She didn't want that little bastard to go with her!
Bai Jing almost yelled out loud.
However, her son's life and death were uncertain now, so she had to be patient.
But she definitely wouldn't let that little bastard snatch away her son's things!
"Alright, then I'll go pack up immediately!"
Bai Jing came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
Right now, all she could think about was her son's safety. At the same time, she hated Zhao Yixuan and his wife to the extreme for causing her son to end up like this.
This time, she didn't just want to bring her son back, she also wanted to help her son take revenge on that couple!
There were several people who had the same idea as her.
In short, after the news was passed back to the Zhao Family, it completely stirred up the muddy waters of the Zhao Family.
The two elders of the Zhao Family were waiting to fish in troubled waters, and the others probably had the same idea. They wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to ruthlessly fish something out of the hands of Zhao Yixuan and his wife.
In their opinion, family affection could also be calculated with money.
From this point of view, the Zhao Family could be considered to be "knowledgeable".
With such a big movement in the Zhao Family, naturally, there were people who passed the news to the ears of Lin Mengya and Fang Rao.
At that time, the two of them could be considered to have stolen half a day of leisure in their lives. They were hiding in the courtyard and watching the little darling Moyan practice martial arts.
The little fellow had been practicing basic martial arts with the martial arts masters in the family and several uncles and aunts for almost a year.
Moreover, he was personally taught by the two peerless masters, Long Tianhao and Qinghu. Whether it was body movements, internal energy, moves, or routines, he had a unique advantage.
It could be said that when this little fellow grew up, he would definitely be a top master in the world.
And now the top master who had not grown up was now giggling at a piece of sugar cake in his mother's hand.
"Well, I see that you are tired and sweaty. Come and eat the cake."
Lin Mengya waved her hand and pulled her son to her side with a smile. While wiping the sweat on his forehead, she handed him some small snacks.
Mo Yan, the "Peerless Master", was in a good mood at this moment.
He had heard that when his father practiced martial arts when he was young, no one prepared sugar cakes for him.
Sure enough, he was the baby that his mother loved the most!
Well, except for his younger brothers and sisters!
"Looking at this little fellow, even my mood is a lot better. You say, Huo Xiao is a few years older than your husband. Why doesn't he know how to be anxious? When can I hold a grandson? "
This was the sixth time today that Aunt Fang sighed that she had no grandchildren to hold.
Lin Mengya quickly gave her baby Moyan a look.
The latter immediately hugged Aunt Fang's thigh and sweetly called her "Grandma Fang".
At that moment, Aunt Fang didn't have time to complain. She immediately picked up the little fellow and kissed him.
Lin Mengya was secretly proud. He was indeed her son!
Good!
It seemed that Huo Xiao had to thank the mother and son when he came back. Otherwise, he could only accept the torture of having his brain pierced every day.
For a single mother who had been single for many years, it was really a little difficult to resist.
Therefore, the guy ran out without saying a word.
"But speaking of which, those two old guys took drastic measures and shifted the blame. I'm afraid that the Zhao family will come to make trouble for you in a few days."
Lin Mengya was a little worried about Aunt Fang's situation.
