I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

Liu Zhirou knew that with her current status and position, Liu Ming would not be unrestrained in front of her, so she did not exchange pleasantries to maintain a good relationship with him, but asked directly, "Did you find out anything about Cuizhu's matter?"

"Reporting to the queen, there is absolutely no such person in the Liu family."

Liu Ming quickly replied.

Liu Ming originally thought that the return of the Queen would provide the backbone of the Liu family, but now it seems that the Queen seems to have a bad impression of the Liu family, which makes him even more panicked.

The current Liu family really can't withstand any setbacks. Although on the surface Liu Ming has made friends with many capable people and has been appreciated by many real masters, these are ultimately false. If troubled times really come, these connections he has made are not to say that they are completely useless, but they are really of no use.

Since he does not belong to other people's faction and has never sacrificed his life for others, why should others support him and help him gain a foothold in troubled times? Aren't they afraid that Liu Ming will bite back at them when he becomes successful one day?

Although he was forced to some extent, Liu Ming did have a criminal record.

Only if Liu Zhirou spares no effort to support the Liu family, will the Liu family have the potential for future development.

Although Liu Ming also felt that they were blood relatives and Liu Zhirou would never abandon them to support others, this point itself was difficult to explain.

If Liu Zhirou did not like the Liu family, or the emperor felt that the Liu family's family background was not worthy of being mentioned, and that the things Liu Ming did before he became rich were too excessive, and asked someone to change Liu Zhirou's identity and find her a relatively noble background, then the Liu family would have achieved nothing, and would have to bear the backlash of the rapid development in recent years.

Liu Ming could not afford this no matter what, so his attitude became more sincere.

He described in great detail all the efforts he had made since Liu Zhirou gave the order, and deeply analyzed the many difficulties and thorny problems he had encountered in the process.

Finally, he explained to the other party with a horrified and trembling face: "I did not deliberately neglect your will! It is really that I am incompetent and cannot find out the truth no matter what..."

After saying this, he kowtowed and apologized continuously, as if he was afraid of angering the noble man in front of him.

He knew that what he said seemed a little perfunctory, but in the end he didn't dare to lie any more.

Liu Zhirou almost laughed out loud. It seemed that Liu Ming had some understanding of his daughter, whose personality was most like his own. Perhaps it was because he understood what kind of person he was.

She was not dissatisfied with the results of Liu Ming's investigation. She knew that these matters concerning gods and ghosts were not something that an ordinary person could find out. The fact that he was able to find out so many things really showed that he was very attentive. So she simply gave him a few words of encouragement and asked him to leave.

Then the next person to come up was Zhao, who had been extremely expectant.

No matter what, Zhao never thought that one day she would be able to see her daughter in her own home.

This seems to be a very common thing for ordinary families, but it becomes particularly precious in the Liu family.

After all, Liu Zhirou's status is there, and the royal family would never let the emperor's concubine leave the palace casually. The opportunities for them to meet are actually very few.

Zhao herself had never seen the world, and this sudden chaos made her completely confused. Her panic and confusion were really shocking!

In contrast, Liu Ming, who also came from the countryside, was able to deal with the situation calmly. However, although Zhao was the head of the family, she was just an unpopular second wife and did not have much power and status in the Liu family. Therefore, even though she behaved so badly, it did not attract much attention or blame.

After all, for the Liu family, there was no need to pay too much attention to such an insignificant person, let alone attach importance to him. This also saved Zhao from the risk of making a fool of herself in public and becoming a laughing stock, which was a blessing in disguise.

The accumulated panic finally came out without reservation when she faced her daughter. She didn't care about etiquette and was ready to rush over and hug her daughter and cry loudly.

Upon seeing this, Tan Xiang immediately frowned, reached out to hold Zhao's shoulders, and stopped her from getting close to Liu Zhirou.

"Madam is so happy that she is dizzy. The queen is a twin, how can she tolerate a collision? Why don't you help Madam down quickly? What are you standing there for?"
