When the Zhao family fell into poverty, it was a widespread uproar and known to everyone. Now that the old accounts have been dug up, everyone is only now realizing it.

As a result, everyone's eyes towards the Zhao family changed, from sympathy at the beginning to contempt and disdain.

The Zhao family wished they could find a hole to crawl into, and even more so, they wished they could skin this disgraceful Zhao Yuxuan alive.

At this time, Zhao Yuxuan's face was pale, his heart was full of holes, and his body was shaky, as if he was about to fall down at the next moment.

He finally stopped resisting and no longer tried to break free, but just closed his eyes in pain.

Curse, curse! What if it's embarrassing? He doesn't care anymore, he doesn't care about anything.

As long as he can keep something of Xue Jinhua's, even if it's just a little bit of memory.

When Zhao Yufei came to pay his respects, he happened to see Xue Jinhua's dowry being carried out of the mansion.

After listening to the maid's explanation, she finally understood what had happened.

Others may not be able to understand Zhao Yuxuan, but Zhao Yufei knows his brother very well.

Seeing his now decadent and emaciated appearance, I still felt a little sorry for him: "Brother, if I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place!"

Yes! If I had known this would happen, why would I do those things?

He was very regretful now, but Xue Jinhua disappeared without a trace. She left so decisively that she didn't even leave him any chance to atone for his sins.

After Xue Jinhua's body and dowry were carried away, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not stay for long but went straight to the palace.

The Zhao family members felt ashamed. Even though the Zhao family still had a funeral to deal with, some older members of the family found excuses to leave.

Nowadays, the Zhao family members are full of disgust towards the eldest wife of the Zhao family, and they try their best to avoid contact with her.

Seeing that the situation had been settled, the Xue brothers stopped harassing the issue and returned to their own residences.

In the secret passage of the Xue family mansion, the third and fourth brothers Xue stood respectfully at the door.

"Brother, my sister's body has been taken away. It seems that it is going to be sent to Nanling." Third Brother Xue said with a heavy face, "At present, we cannot confirm whether this body is really my sister's."

"It doesn't matter if we can't find the person, but have you found the thing?" A cold voice was heard, as if it was a biting cold wind coming from an extremely cold place, causing the third and fourth brothers Xue to tremble in their hearts.

The two of them slowly lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound.

"It's a mess."

This sentence is not a question, but a statement.

Third Brother Xue clenched his fists tightly, his eyes revealing reluctance and anger: "Originally, it should have been easy to deal with the Zhao family, but I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would show up halfway! My fourth brother and I really don't dare to confront him easily."

I thought the other party would be furious, but Brother Xue just closed his eyes and said calmly: "It doesn't matter. The disaster started from the south. Since you have already gone to Nanling, you should also go to Nanling and bring back the people and things to me. If you still can't do it this time, you don't have to come back."

"Yes." Brother Xue nodded heavily, then turned and left.

After he left, Big Brother Xue looked at Fourth Brother Xue who was still standing there, and asked in a cold tone: "Fourth Brother, is there anything else?"

"Nothing." Fourth Brother Xue replied respectfully.

Fourth Brother Xue bowed slightly and then quietly retreated.

The room fell into deathly silence again. Only Brother Xue was sitting there alone. His eyes were cold and deep, which made people shudder.

After they all left, he slowly closed his eyes. Images of the night star map kept appearing in his mind. He always had a feeling that he seemed to have missed something important.

If he hadn't been blocked by the Seven Evils and Lonely Life, with his abilities and talents, how could he not see the star map drawn by Xue Jin?

Zhao Yuxuan is such a loser! As a greedy person, he could have taken advantage of Xue Jinhua's good fortune by sleeping with her, and thus rise to the top.

However, this idiot actually pretended to be a gentleman, which eventually led to the current situation.

Extremely stupid!

This is simply stupid.

But never mind, she is his own sister after all. Since she is so keen on playing the cat and mouse game, he will play with her for once.

......

When Xue Jinhua's body was taken away, the Zhao family seemed to have lost their backbone and the entire family fell into chaos.

Although she had separated from the second branch of the family, Jiang was still in confinement after giving birth and was unable to take care of household affairs. The people in the clan were unwilling to help, so Zhao Yuhang had to do it.

Although Zhao Yuhang has already started a family and a career, he is still a man who was brought up in a pampered environment.

His daily life was taken care of by his wife and servants, and he knew nothing about household chores.

Now faced with these trivial matters, he feels very confused and helpless.

"Second Master, how do we decorate this mourning hall?"

"The mourners are here, what should we do?"

"The steward asked when the funeral would be held?"

"How do you arrange the food for the table?"

"Second Master, there is no more white paper at home..."

These questions flooded Zhao Yuhang like a tide, leaving him overwhelmed.

He was already upset, and now he was furious.

He felt that he was annoyed by these trivial matters and could not help but roar: "Can't you use your brains when doing things on a daily basis? You have to ask questions about such a small matter!"

However, Zhao Yuhang forgot that he also knew nothing about these things.

He complains about others but doesn't know how to solve the problem.

The whole scene became chaotic, everyone was at a loss, and Zhao Yuhang became more and more irritated.

The servant looked aggrieved and muttered, "Usually, it is the Madam who arranges everything properly..."

It's really weird. Just because there is no mistress of the house, the Zhao family is in chaos like a hornet's nest.

"I don't believe that without Xue Jinhua, the Zhao family will collapse."

Compared with Zhao Yuhang's headache, Zhao Yuxuan was sitting in the backyard as decadent as mud. Xin Tao couldn't help but burst into tears when she saw his distraught look.

Although the old man is selfish and heartless, he is still someone I once loved deeply...

However, he killed the eldest lady, so how could he be so ashamed to grieve here? He deserved to go to hell.

Xin Tao stared at his lonely figure, a hint of cruelty flashed in her eyes, but before she could touch the dagger in her sleeve, she was knocked unconscious.

Not long after, a sack fell from the sky like a meteorite and was accurately put on Zhao Yuxuan's body.

"you……"

Before Zhao Yuxuan could finish his words, it was as if something was stuffed in his mouth, and he was instantly unable to make a sound.

What followed was a torrential rain of punches and kicks.

The groans of pain echoed in the Zhao family's backyard...

"Go, don't beat him to death."

After the masked man in black left, the sack on Zhao Yuxuan was not opened.

He felt unbearable pain all over his body and could only curl up, trying his best to relieve the pain.

However, at this moment, an uninvited guest appeared in the backyard.

The man was dressed in black and had his face covered, leaving only a pair of fierce eyes exposed.

His eyes were filled with hatred and anger, as if he wanted to tear Zhao Yuxuan into pieces.

He walked slowly to Zhao Yuxuan's side, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sneer.

Then, without hesitation, he raised the knife in his hand and stabbed Zhao Yuxuan fiercely.

Zhao Yuxuan widened his eyes and looked at everything happening in front of him in horror.

He tried to struggle, but he was tied up and couldn't move.

The knife penetrated deeply into his body, and blood splattered everywhere, forming a scarlet blood mist.

Zhao Yuxuan let out a shrill scream and then fell in a pool of blood.

When people found Zhao Yuxuan's body the next day, he had been dead for a long time.

When the Crown Prince heard the news, he immediately rushed to the scene and reported the incident to the Emperor. The Emperor frowned and asked, "Who did this?"

His Royal Highness replied: "I heard that the murderer was a maidservant beside Zhao Yuxuan. She sneaked into the backyard at night and killed Zhao Yuxuan."

The emperor pondered for a moment and sighed, "Forget it. The Zhao family has made such a big joke. Now that Zhao Yuxuan is dead, let's end this matter here."

The Emperor turned to look at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and asked, "Have you made up your mind?"
