The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

The next day, Zi Ri introduced Zhao Xun to Zi Xuan.

In the past, Zhao Xun had no intention of becoming an official, but after the great changes in his family during this period, he figured it out.

If the family wanted to prosper, it must have power and influence. Zi Ri also advised him to give up business and enter politics, and was willing to personally recommend him to his mother.

After Zixuan learned about the Zhao father and son, he was very grateful for the care they took for their son.

When she heard Zi Ri say that Zhao Xin was a good candidate for business, she ordered someone to call the Governor of the Ministry of Commerce over.

After learning the reason, Qi Twelve replied, "Your Majesty, there is a vacancy right now, but the position is a bit low."

"The director of the Foreign Trade Bureau under the Ministry of Commerce just retired a few days ago."

I am currently considering a suitable candidate. Why not let Young Master Zhao take the position?

Zixuan thought about it and felt that although the fourth rank of the bureau chief was a bit low, it was acceptable for Zhao Xun, who had not made any achievements.

It is better to observe for a period of time first. It is not too late to promote him after he has made achievements.

Zi Ri was also very happy when he heard that his mother had conferred the title of fourth-rank official on Zhao Xun.

He quickly told Zhao Xin the news, and Zhao Xin burst into tears of gratitude after hearing it.

After arranging family affairs, he took office.

In Peng Qi's villa, Peng Qi has been restless since Zi Ri came back.

He has been much more well-behaved in the past two years and has not done anything to harm anyone.

Peng Xi and Gongzi Yue also have a good relationship, and he is very satisfied.

But when he heard that Zi Ri had returned to Fugui City, he immediately became restless again.

He paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, his mind racing, trying to think of a solution.

At this time, the doorman came to report that the eldest lady had returned, and Peng Qi's eyes immediately turned red with excitement.

Ruoer has been well-behaved, sensible and obedient since she was a child. She has never made me angry, and she is also my first child.

Therefore, he loved Peng Ruo more than his other children. When he heard that his daughter had returned, he quickly ordered his servants to inform the eldest lady.

As soon as the servant left, Peng Ruo's soft voice came in: "Father! Mother! Ruo'er is back!"

Ruo'er! Peng Qi took two quick steps to greet her: "Ruo'er! You miss Daddy so much!"

After saying that, tears could no longer be stopped and flowed down her triangular eyes.

Peng Ruo was stunned. She wondered if her father was acting. Did he really miss her?

Just act it out, who's afraid of who? Just go along with it.

So she hurriedly bowed and said, "Daughter greets father."

Good, good! Peng Qi was filled with mixed feelings of sadness and joy, and hurriedly helped his daughter up: "Ruo'er, you have suffered so much in the past few years, and it's all your fault, Daddy! I shouldn't... Alas!"

Peng Ruo looked at him in confusion, feeling that his father seemed to have changed, and was completely different from the cruel and cunning father he used to be.

What's going on? Are you feeling guilty? I don't believe you! I wonder what tricks you're going to pull next.

Be careful and don't let his false kindness fool you.

So, she squeezed out a few tears and said in a pretended sad tone, "Father, Ruo'er misses you too."

As the father and daughter were talking, their mother, Liu, stepped in: "Ruo'er! My darling! You're finally back! Wow wow wow..."

Peng Ruo looked at his mother who was crying and thought to himself, this is the truth.

So, he immediately threw himself into his mother's arms, tears streaming down his face.

She sobbed and said, "Mother, Ru'er misses you so much!"

"I'm sorry. Ruo'er was ignorant back then and left without telling her mother."

"I'm sorry for making my mother sad and worried, sob…"

Liu stroked her daughter's hair and choked up, saying, "Ruo'er, let's not talk about the past. It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..."

She wiped her tears again and asked Peng Ruo, "Ruo'er, you won't leave this time, right?"

Peng Ruo had tears on her face, but she put on a smile and said, "I'm not leaving, mother."

Liu also smiled and said, "It's better not to leave! It's better not to leave!"

Seeing that it was almost noon, Peng Qi quickly ordered the kitchen to prepare two sumptuous banquets to celebrate his daughter's return.

Peng Xi was looking at her mobile phone in the room when her mother, Guo, rushed in.

As soon as he saw his daughter, he said anxiously, "Xi'er! It's bad! Zi Ri and Peng Ruo are back!"

Peng Xi wasn't surprised at all, she just said calmly, "Come back if you want to, what does it have to do with me?"

After saying that, she continued playing with her phone.

Guo snatched the phone away, glared at it and yelled, "Play, play, play!"

"All you do is play with your phone all day! You know how urgent it is!"

When Peng Xi saw her mother snatch the phone away, she immediately became anxious: "What are you doing! My brother in the game is going to be killed by you!"

"Oh my little ancestor! In this game, if you're a dummy, you die!"

"If you don't hurry up, I'm afraid the real person will die!"

Peng Xi said angrily: "What are you talking about! Who is going to die?"

Seeing that there was no one in the room, Guo walked to the door and looked outside. After confirming that there was no one, she closed and locked the door.

She returned to her daughter's side and whispered, "Xi'er, it was Young Master Ri and your father who assassinated Young Master Xu."

Peng Xi didn't react strangely and continued angrily, "It's none of my business if they assassinate the young master!"

Mrs. Guo was very annoyed by her daughter's indifferent attitude, and she poked her daughter's forehead with her finger.

She said angrily: "Xi'er! This concerns our lives! Do you understand?"

Peng Xi squinted at her mother and said, "What are you talking about? How did you bring our lives into this?"

"Xi'er, you don't know this. Your father is afraid that Young Master Ri will tell the king about the assassination attempt on Young Master Xu."

"He has sent people to assassinate Gongzi Ri many times, and this time Gongzi Ri has returned."

"Either Young Master Ri denounces your father, or your father assassinates Young Master Ri."

"If either side succeeds and the king finds out, my mother and I will be implicated and our three clans will be exterminated!"

Ah! Peng Xi jumped up from the bed in shock after hearing what her mother said: "Mom! Is it really that serious?"

Guo nodded seriously, "Ruo'er, it's true!"

Peng Xi immediately panicked. She grabbed her mother's hand and asked, "Mom! What should we do?"

Mrs. Guo put her mouth close to her daughter's ear and whispered, "Xi'er, the only solution right now is to kill Zi Ri and Peng Ruo!"

"The first is to eliminate the hidden danger of them reporting your father."

"Secondly, if Young Master Ri doesn't leave, the position of Crown Prince will belong to him in the future."

"By then, Gongzi Yue will have to step aside. If Zi Yue can't become the Crown Prince, then the position of Crown Princess will have nothing to do with you!"

"If you get rid of Gongzi Ri, Ziyue will still be the crown prince in the future, and the position of the prince's consort will still be yours!"

"Xi'er, do you think what mother said is right?"

Peng Xi nodded: "Yeah! That's what mother said."

"Then let father take care of this matter. There is no need for us mother and daughter to interfere!"

Guo shook her head: "I'm afraid that bitch Peng Ruo will persuade your father to let go!"

"Think about it, Zi Ri and Zi Yue are both his sons-in-law. No matter who becomes the crown prince, he will be the father-in-law of the country."

"Besides, he has regarded Peng Ruo as the apple of his eye since he was a child. If Peng Ruo persuades him to let go, how can your father, that damn ghost, not listen?"
