Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

In his previous life, Zhao Jian gave away his daughters as bargaining chips one by one in order to win over court officials. Of course, even the court officials were divided into different levels. The legitimate daughter born by the mistress naturally had a good marriage and married the eldest son of the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue who later became the minister.

The other concubine sisters were married off relatively well because of the help of their own concubines. However, Zhao Gupan was the only one who got married because her concubine didn't care and the mistress didn't care either. So Zhao Jian wanted to give her to an old royal relative as a concubine.

At that time, Zhao Gupan was almost fainting from tears, but Zhao Liangchen argued for her and got her a good marriage, letting her marry a general in the imperial army.

However, during the palace coup in his previous life, it was his trusted brother-in-law who opened the palace gate and let the rebels into the palace. He was really disliked. As a concubine's son, Zhao Gupan's husband knew the truth and was won over by his father.

But his real son was kept in the dark and was completely exploited.

In fact, if his father had chosen to tell him the truth, he would have definitely stood on his father's side and rebelled in order to gain his father's approval.

But then maybe no one would help them to confuse the emperor.

Zhao Liangchen smiled self-deprecatingly and walked towards his yard. He needed to have a good rest as he had important things to do. He had no time to feel sorry for himself here.

It was already evening, past dinner time. He entered his courtyard. His servant Lai Fu saw him and came up to greet him: "Young Master, you're back."

Zhao Liangchen nodded and stepped into the main room.

Lai Fu followed in flatteringly: "Master, have you had dinner?

Zhao Liangchen shook his head, and Lai Fu immediately said, "Then I'll go get you some food."

Zhao Liangchen nodded and left. After a while, he came back with a lunch box and placed the food on the table one by one.

Zhao Liangchen stared at the food on the table in a daze. After a while, he looked up and asked Lai Fu, "Have you eaten?"

Lai Fu smiled and said, "Yes, I ate it a long time ago."

Zhao Liangchen asked: "Is the food you eat hot?"

Lai Fu nodded in confusion: "It's hot."

They servants have their own special kitchen, and although the food they eat is not as good as the masters', it is still hot food.

Zhao Liangchen's face suddenly darkened, and he asked in a cold voice, "So, you, a servant, eat hot dishes and hot meals, but I, a master, have to eat cold dishes and cold meals?"

Lai Fu was stunned for a moment and then hurriedly explained: "No, the food is cold because the young master came back late and the kitchen has been turned off, so there is no hot food."

Zhao Liangchen's rage flared up. He swept all the food on the table to the ground and scolded, "You are my servant. The kitchen stove is out. Can't you even heat up the food for me?"

There were not many people serving him. There were only four people in the courtyard, including those who cleaned the house. Lai Fu was his personal servant, but he was usually on duty in the army and sometimes he didn't come back, so they were not needed to serve him much. Although they were not as valued and respectable as those serving in other courtyards, their jobs were the easiest. Their monthly salary was the same as others, but they had less work to do. It could be said that the four of them were the most leisurely people in this mansion.

But the more idle they were, the more arrogant they became. It was Lai Fu's job to prepare hot meals and dishes for him, but he was lazy. Whenever he came back late, he would eat cold meals and dishes, sometimes even other people's leftovers.

In the past, he always thought that it was because he was not favored in the mansion, and the people in the head kitchen were treating him differently and doing it on purpose. But now he thinks that the head kitchen might have done it on purpose, but it is more likely that his own servants did not consider him at all.

Thinking about the two hot meals he had at his teacher's house two days ago, Su Qin served him hot meals even though she hated him and was so angry with him, but his own servant was too lazy to even prepare a hot meal.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. It was true that kind people were often bullied. Even a servant looked down on him.

Lai Fu was shocked by his sudden attack. Zhao Liangchen seldom treated his servants harshly, because few people in this mansion took him seriously, so as long as someone treated him a little well, he would treat them with courtesy. What happened today?

Seeing Lai Fu in a daze, Zhao Liangchen became even more angry and sneered, "Why don't I deserve a hot meal?"

Lai Fu quickly shook his head: "No, the eldest master is wronging me. It is because of the eldest master that I am too embarrassed to start a fire in the kitchen."

"Oh, is it so?"

Zhao Liangchen said gloomily: "You are my man, and it is your duty to stand up for your master. Since you can't stand up for your master, then you should leave. See which courtyard's master is more respectful, and you will go to serve in that courtyard."

Lai Fu was so frightened by these words that he knelt on the ground: "Master, I was wrong. Please don't chase me away."

Although he had no status in this mansion and was sometimes bullied by servants from other courtyards, it was still very comfortable to serve Zhao Liangchen. He earned a lot of money and had little work to do, and sometimes he could even be a little greedy.

Not only would it not be so easy for him if he went to other courtyards, but other masters would not tolerate him just because he had served Zhao Liangchen before.

By then, they will either torture him or sell him out.

He ignored the broken porcelain pieces on the ground and kowtowed vigorously: "Master, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again next time. I will go prepare hot meals for you right now. Please forgive me."

Lai Fu scratched his head because he hit the broken porcelain pieces. Looking at the blood flowing down his face, Zhao Liangchen not only did not feel pleasure, but a feeling of sadness surged in his heart. What kind of world is this?

Being kind to others will result in being exploited, betrayed, and despised, while being evil to others will earn you respect and admiration. This is truly a world where right and wrong are reversed.

He was disgusted to see Lai Fu pretending to be pitiful, so he stood up and said, "My temple is small and cannot support such a big Buddha like you. You'd better leave."

After saying that, he left the main room. The noise in the room attracted the other three little people in the yard. When they saw him coming out, they looked at each other in surprise.

Zhao Liangchen ordered with a cold face: "Go prepare some water, I want to take a bath."

The three people were afraid that he would get angry, so they immediately responded and turned to prepare water.

Soon the bathtub in the bathroom was filled with water.

Zhao Liangchen looked at the steaming water in the tub, a mocking smile on his face. See, it's better to be a bad guy.

In the past, when he came back late, no matter what the weather was, he would only have cold water for a bath and a bucket to scrub with. Now, he could have a full bucket of hot water for a bath just by getting angry.

He took off his armor and threw it to Lai Xi who was waiting beside him: "Go and wipe it clean."

Lai Xi was knocked back by the armor, but he didn't dare to say anything. He stood firm, answered with a "yes", and then retreated with his head lowered.

Zhao Liangchen soaked in the warm water and sighed with comfort.

He leaned against the wall of the tub, thinking about something. For some reason, he suddenly remembered Su Qin's question: "Do I stink?"

Su Qin must be a girl who loves cleanliness. I don’t know how uncomfortable she must feel wearing such smelly clothes. Although he gave Su Qin dried meat and candied fruits, there are so many disaster victims outside the city. I don’t know if she can keep the food and eat it herself.

Now he couldn't leave the city to deliver food to Su Qin, and he didn't know what to do if she was hungry.

Also, she didn't even bring a blanket when she left the city. Now that the weather is getting colder in autumn, I don't know if she will catch a cold.

Zhao Liangchen couldn't sit still when he thought of Su Qin starving and freezing outside the city. He washed himself quickly and got out of the bathtub. Although he couldn't leave the city now, he had to find a way to take care of Su Qin.
