Zhao Jue, who had regained his sanity, tidied himself up and went out again.
On the way, he passed by Zhao Xun's courtyard.
Just in time, Xian Huan pushed Zhao Xun out to bask in the sun.
Although Zhao Xun had already been cleaned up and changed into the luxurious clothes he was used to wearing, Zhao Xun still couldn't help but sigh.
However, his once arrogant face was now gloomy and gloomy. Other than the woman beside him, no one else dared to approach him.
Even though Xian Huan was obedient to him, but he still beat and scolded her. Especially after Bai Jing came, he felt that he had a backer, and his methods towards Xian Huan, who he had gone through thick and thin with, became even more brutal.
Zhao Jue narrowed his eyes as he glanced at the cowering woman beside Zhao Xun.
In the next moment, he suddenly revealed a flattering smile and walked in.
"Big brother, how do you feel today?"
Zhao Xun heard the commotion and turned her head to look at Zhao Jue's healthy body. Her eyes involuntarily flashed with hints of jealousy.
Even though he was now a cripple, he still looked down on this lowly bastard younger brother from the bottom of his heart.
But when she thought of her mother's entrustment and that her position still depended on this guy to protect, she suppressed the vicious insults that were about to come out of her mouth.
He waved his hand impatiently and chased the immortal bracelet away. However, his attitude was still not too good.
"What are you doing here? Even if I'm crippled, it's not your turn to laugh at me. "
"Big Brother, you misunderstood."
Zhao Jue's attitude was still good, as if he could not feel the coldness in Zhao Xun's words.
"Since Big Brother is injured, as his younger brother, I should take care of him. It's just that Mother has other errands for me recently, so I've been delayed for a few days. Please forgive me, Big Brother. "
Right now, Zhao Xun felt both jealous and aggrieved.
Rolling his eyes disdainfully at Zhao Jue, he couldn't help but sternly warn, "Don't think that you can surpass me just because you're valued by Father and Mother, don't forget! In this family, I'm your big brother. Everything in the Zhao family will be mine in the future! "
Zhao Jue nodded readily, but there was a hint of cold disdain in his lowered eyes.
Heh, just a cripple.
So what if Bai Jing was a troublemaker?
Their cold-hearted father. He would never allow power to fall into the hands of others.
Naturally, Zhao Xun's words weren't wrong.
Even if Zhao Xun was crippled, everything in the Zhao Clan might not be returned to him, Zhao Jue.
Other than Zhao Xun, his younger brothers from the same father but different mother all had a chance.
All he had done was gain a slight advantage.
If he couldn't make his father look at him in a different light this time, then this hard-won opportunity would fly away.
At that time, it would be even more difficult for him to make a comeback.
Therefore, this time, he had to land a hit!
After thinking for a while, he still looked obedient and kind on the surface, as if he was still the good-for-nothing bastard son of a concubine who allowed his older brother to beat and scold him but never fought back.
Although Zhao Xun had the intention to torment him, his body had already collapsed.
She had only scolded him with a hoarse voice, but she was already so weak that she was gasping for breath.
In the end, it was the immortal bracelet that helped him in.
"Useless thing! Use more strength. If you hit me again, I'll get someone to break your legs! "
Zhao Xun fiercely threatened the Immortal Halo.
The latter's body trembled, but she still gritted her teeth and forcefully helped him from the rocking chair to the wheelchair.
It was just that she was a weak girl and had been beaten and scolded all day long. Right now, her face was already pale and her limbs were trembling.
But Zhao Xun still ordered her around in a mean and vicious manner.
His threats and intimidation were also getting more and more overboard.
Regarding this, the immortal bracelet could only grit her teeth and endure silently. However, it wasn't that she didn't feel resentment in her heart.
It was just that she made a wrong move back then that caused her to end up like this.
She wanted to run, but Zhao Xun sensed it and got someone to capture her back. After that, he got someone to whip her 20 times in front of her.
She was a delicate and weak girl. These 20 whips almost took her life and also took away her courage to escape.
She had no choice but to serve Zhao Xun obediently. She only hoped that when they returned to the southern courtyard of the Zhao Clan, he would give her the identity of a concubine.
But Zhao Jue was very clear that Immortal Halo was already an abandoned chess piece.
Because he pretended to be obedient, Bai Jing didn't avoid him on some matters.
The proud Bai Jing would definitely not allow her son to marry a servant as a concubine. Moreover, she had seen Zhao Xun's pathetic state.
Most probably, when they returned to the Zhao Clan, Immortal Halo would be removed without anyone knowing.
And he also didn't want to see the day when Zhao Xun got better.
In the blink of an eye, he had a good idea.
At this moment, Zhao Xun was throwing a tantrum, flipping the table and asking Immortal Halo to clean it up.
As for him, he was pushed onto the bed and had a comfortable afternoon nap.
In the room, only Immortal Halo was silently cleaning up the broken pieces.
She didn't dare to make any sound because once she woke Zhao Xun up, what awaited her would be another hellish nightmare.
No one extended a helping hand.
Those people all looked down on her, and they would even snitch to Zhao Xun, letting Zhao Xun deal with her.
The more pitiful Immortal Halo's situation was, the more hatred she felt in her heart.
If it wasn't for her careful care, Zhao Xun would have died long ago!
But that heartless and unscrupulous fellow repaid her kindness with enmity.
For a moment, Immortal Halo cursed Zhao Xun in her heart to die a horrible death.
But in the blink of an eye, she saw a pair of hands.
Slender and flexible hands quietly picked up a piece of broken porcelain on the ground for her.
She was a little stunned and subconsciously raised her head, only to see a face smiling at her.
"I'll help you." The other person mouthed.
Immortal Halo only felt her vision blur, that person lowered his head again and silently picked up the sharp pieces of porcelain for her.
She instantly panicked and didn't know how to reject the other party.
But she didn't dare to open her mouth to stop him and could only speed up her actions. In the end, the two of them kept the broken porcelain pieces in Immortal Halo's clothes.
"I want to eat cheese after I wake up. Go quickly, if you are any slower, this young master will beat you to death!"
Zhao Xun's impatient voice suddenly came from inside. Immortal Halo was so frightened that she shrunk her shoulders and obediently agreed. She turned and walked out.
Zhao Jue also followed and left.
Before she walked far, Immortal Halo almost tripped.
"Hua la", the broken porcelain pieces fell to the ground. She was so flustered that she wanted to pick them up with her hands, but she accidentally cut her own hands.
"Leave this to me. You go and prepare cheese for big brother first, in case he makes things difficult for you after he wakes up."
A gentle voice came from behind. Immortal Halo lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the other party.
She knew that it was Zhao Xun's younger brother.
Previously when Bai Jing came to pick up Zhao Xun, he was by Bai Jing's side, but very few people noticed him.
But now, he was actually helping her.
Immortal Halo suddenly felt a little vigilant.
Vigilance.
She had already been deceived so badly by others, and she felt that she wouldn't be fooled again.
Especially when facing the sudden goodwill of these young masters, she wouldn't fall for it easily.
Who knew if she would still be alive after being used by others.
But Zhao Jue's attitude was too natural.
He didn't deliberately show a kind side to her like Zhao Xun, nor did he do anything special to show goodwill.
It was as if it was the most ordinary small matter.
"Didn't you understand my words?"
Zhao Jue frowned and asked.
Immortal Halo hesitated for a moment and immediately nodded. Then she lowered her head and walked away quickly.
But she still couldn't help but look back.
Zhao Jue took a broom out of nowhere and was cleaning up the broken pieces on the ground bit by bit.
From start to finish, the other party didn't raise his head to look at her.
This made the doubts in her heart settle down a little, but she was still afraid.
And Zhao Jue did this not entirely for her.
His actions were seen by everyone.
Very quickly, there was some gossip spreading among the servants.
"To talk about the young masters in the family, it is still our South Courtyard's Second Young Master Zhao Jue who is the best."
"Isn't that so. Sigh, he is also quite pitiful. He is obviously the same as Eldest Young Master, both of them are Old Master's children. Just because he didn't crawl out from Madam's belly, he really suffered a lot these years. "
"I even saw Second Young Master sweeping the courtyard for Eldest Young Master yesterday!"
"Tsk! Eldest Young Master is already crippled and he still doesn't know his place, really … "
Zhao Jue had always been very clear about his image in the eyes of the servants.
Although Bai Jing never put these servants in her eyes, but she didn't know that because of her and Zhao Xun's perverse behavior, other than their own confidants in the mansion, everyone in the mansion seemed to obey them on the surface but disobeyed them in secret.
This also gave him an excellent opportunity.
Using Bai Jing's contempt, he could not only rely on those servants to amass money for him, but also know all the news of the four courtyards like the back of his hand.
But if he wanted to rise, he would definitely need some strong support.
And using his own information network, he also selected some people that he could use.
Now, what he needed to do most was to first stabilize Bai Jing and Zhao Xun, and then complete the task that his father gave him this time.
When his father slowly looked at him in a different light, and his position was stable, then it was time to completely eliminate Bai Jing and her son.
But he would not let them die easily.
So, he still needed to bear with it.
.....
The treacherous situation of the Zhao family had not affected Lin Mengya for the time being.
But she also had her own troubles.
Long Tianhao and Aunt Fang reached a consensus after the people of the Zhao family came to find trouble that day.
Even if they did not hesitate to expose some of their hidden people, they had to surround the courtyard where she lived like an impenetrable iron bucket.
The direct result was that even if she strolled in the Zhao mansion, there would be at least a dozen people following behind her.
Every day when she went out for a walk, she felt like a kindergarten aunt with a group of overage children.
She had completely lost the fun of walking, and recently chose to shut herself in the room.
Fortunately, Zhao Yunniang, Zhao Xiaodie and others took the initiative to chat with her to relieve her boredom, otherwise, she would really shut herself in the room.
She was reading a medical book out of boredom, and Baisu ran in.
