After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

It just so happened that today, the four family heads, Liu Bai, Xiao Chen, were all there. After listening to the rebellious words of Zhao Xi and Zhao Ying, they looked at each other, shook their heads and laughed.

Patriarch Chen was stunned. "Although Zhao Xi and Zhao Ying are of noble status, they are too frivolous. They are so bold as to forge the imperial seal?"

Patriarch Xiao looked at Liu Yi and said, "Old Liu, how about we expose their scheme..."

The head of the Bai family interrupted, "No! The two of them are still useful. Why do you think that Elder Liu is willing to let Liang Su listen to Zhao Ying without seeing the imperial edict and the military token? She just wants to use Zhao Ying's hand to capture the fat piece of meat of Burma. We will send troops tomorrow. If we expose her now, won't we cause trouble for ourselves?"

Liu Yi nodded, "That's right, at least we have to wait until the war is over!"

Patriarch Chen: "What does Elder Liu mean by this?"

The head of the Bai family smiled evilly, "Don't you understand? When the Burmese army attacks, Zhao Ying and Zhao Xi will be of no value. Then we can expose their lies. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?"

Liu Yi raised his chin slightly and said in a faint voice, "In this way, I can not only conquer the Burmese tribe, but also avenge Zhao Ying's humiliation of me!"

Patriarch Bai waved his fan and said, "Uncle Liu, I have another plan!"

"Tell me now!"

"I have sent people to the capital to deliver a letter to King Liang in the capital. If King Ding loses his favor, the kingdom of Chu will be returned to King Liang! If we can control King Liang and extend our power to the Central Plains..."

When the four of them thought about this, they became upset.

Liu Yi praised, "Great! My nephew is indeed a talented person!"

Above, Zhao Ying sat at the desk and picked up the written "fake imperial edict" to show Zhao Xi. After checking that it was correct, Zhao Ying sealed it in a box and prepared to take it away.

Seeing that she was still not leaving, Zhao Xi asked, "Anything else?"

Zhao Ying stared at Zhao Xi's face, which was somewhat similar to hers, and nodded gently, "Brother, I want to talk to you about Qi Dongqiang."

As soon as the voice fell, the relatively harmonious atmosphere around them suddenly turned cold. Zhao Xi silently looked at Zhao Ying for a long time, turned around, stood in front of the window, and said, "What do you want to say?"

Zhao Ying looked at his back and asked, "Brother, do you blame me for her death?"

"I said I'm not blamed, can you believe me?"

"I do not believe!"

Zhao Ying's straightforwardness made Zhao Xi laugh. Zhao Xi took a deep breath and said, "Let me tell you a story."

"Once upon a time, there was a beggar who had a deep hatred for his enemies. He wanted to go to the capital to file a complaint with the emperor, but he was repeatedly driven away by the government. He wanted to beat the drum to file a complaint, but he was a beggar and did not even have the qualifications to do so."

"His money had long been used up. Finally one day, he fainted from hunger on the street. When he woke up, he found that a young lady from an official family had saved him."

"This young lady from an official family gave him food and drink, clean clothes to wear, and arranged a job for him. She came to see him every day and praised him for his knowledge. When he was sick, she ignored her reputation as a woman and stayed up all night to take care of him. She said she loved him and he loved her too..." Zhao Xi's tone was gloomy.

"Later, she wanted to marry him, but unfortunately her family opposed it. The beggar was driven out of the house, but she never left him. She wanted to follow him even if she didn't want a name. She grew up with him selflessly and without regrets. She even got pregnant with his child. They were going to get married soon. He could give her everything that he couldn't give her in the past..."

"But she died."

"He was killed by his relatives."

Zhao Xi turned around and stared at Zhao Ying with a pair of scarlet eyes, crying with blood on every word, "Ying'er, is she really so evil?"

"She is your sister-in-law..."

"If Wei Shu was like this, would you also kill her without mercy?"

Zhao Ying was shocked.

She lowered her eyes. For some reason, she couldn't look directly into Zhao Xi's eyes. He was in so much pain, she felt that the pain was transferred to her heart.

Zhao Xi chuckled when he saw this, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"You can't answer that, can you?"

"You killed my beloved and tried to get my forgiveness. How can I forgive you, my sister?"

At some point, he walked in front of Zhao Ying, looking down at her, and casting his majestic shadow over her.

Zhao Ying curled her fingers. Seeing this, Zhao Xi sneered, leaned over and whispered in her ear, "However, if you kill Wei Shu like this, I will forgive you."

Zhao Ying pushed him away in shock, "Wei Shu and I grew up together, why would I kill her?"

Zhao Xi was pushed hard by her, and his body swayed. He seemed to be deliberately not standing still, and he was careless. Hearing this, he laughed at himself and said, "Yes, nothing can compare to the friendship that we grew up together..."

Zhao Ying felt that there was something wrong with this, but she couldn't put it into words. She suppressed her pity for Zhao Xi and said calmly, "Brother, what crime did Wei Shu commit? Why should I kill her?"

"As for Qi Dongqiang..." Zhao Ying took a deep breath and said coldly, "She deserves to die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Xi's eyes flashed with cold light and shot towards Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying also went forward fearlessly.

Zhao Xi narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

Zhao Ying stood up and confronted, "Do you know what she did to Yue'er? She kidnapped Yue'er and wanted to kill her!"

After Zhao Ying finished speaking, she saw Zhao Xi's expression of no surprise, and she asked in shock, "You knew?"

Zhao Xi turned his eyes away and said coldly, "One is my wife, and the other is just a niece I met by chance. My choice is the same as yours."

Zhao Ying's expression was extremely ugly. She paused for a while before saying, "So you know..."

"Since you know that, I have nothing to say. We are siblings who met halfway. You and I don't have any brother-sister feelings, and neither do I...you!"

Zhao Xi's expression became colder, his jaw was clenched, and he looked as if he was gritting his teeth.

"If you want to bear a grudge, then bear a grudge! Do you think I, Zhao Ying, am afraid of you?!"

After saying that, Zhao Ying stood up and left at a very fast pace.

Zhao Xi's urgent gaze followed Zhao Ying's departing figure. He sneered repeatedly, "Okay! Okay!"

"You are provoking me! You are such a good sister to me!"

"Who is your sister?! Just go and hold that damn Ding Ling Dong Long of yours! Who wants to be your sister?!"

Zhao Xi suddenly raised his palm and slapped the back of the chair, furious.

Suddenly, Zhao Ying turned around and stared at Zhao Xi without saying a word.

Zhao Xi frowned in confusion.

The brother and sister stared at each other for a long time, and Zhao Ying suddenly said, "Oh, I almost forgot to tell you."

"tell me what?"

Zhao Ying sneered, "From now on, you don't need to offer sacrifices to Qi Dongqiang and burn paper for him. Let her ascend to heaven early."

"That day, she stood on the mountain and wanted to kill me, but Yue'er dispersed her soul. Since then, there is no such person as Qi Dongqiang in the world! So it's useless for you to burn her and offer her as a sacrifice!"

"As for being husband and wife in the next life, forget it!"

After saying that, Zhao Ying turned and left.

Leaving Zhao Xi alone there.

Zhao Ying originally thought that Qi Dongqiang's death would stimulate Zhao Xi, but unexpectedly, Zhao Xi's mind was full of "She wants to kill me..."

Suddenly, Zhao Xi covered his chest with his hands, his brows furrowed.
