The yandere senior sister pretended to be stupid to trick me, it made me feel numb!

Yuzhou City.

Zhao Mansion!

The luxurious and magnificent house was brightly lit and crowded with people, one group coming in and out after another.

Everyone was in a hurry, and almost everyone had an anxious look on their face.

It was obvious that something big had happened to the wealthy Zhao family tonight.

The conference room was already full of people.

Sitting high in the center was a middle-aged man over forty years old, with a burly build and a face very similar to Zhao Mu.

He is the current head of the Zhao family, Zhao Zhenrong.

The reason why Zhao Mu was able to make friends so generously in Xuantian Dao Sect was entirely due to his status as the son of the Zhao family.

Below Zhao Zhenrong, there were two younger men sitting on each side, and three or two people standing behind each of the two men.

These two people are Zhao Mu’s second uncle Zhao Zhenxing and third uncle Zhao Zhenyuan.

As for those standing behind them, they are their respective descendants.

In addition, there were more than a dozen people sitting on the chairs in the back. They were the leaders of the various branches of the Zhao family.

It can be said that almost all the important figures of the Zhao family are in this hall.

The atmosphere in the entire hall was heavy, and many people looked at the three Zhao brothers sitting at the top, with an expression of anger but not daring to speak.

The reason why they came here in a hurry tonight.

This is because, apart from the properties of the Yuzhou City Lord's family, the properties of the other branch families have all been besieged by other forces, and the situation has almost reached the most critical moment.

If they don't come up with a response strategy, all of their branches will be destroyed and their families will be separated, except for the properties in Yuzhou City.

According to the information they had gathered, all this was caused by Zhao Mu.

"Master, do you really want to watch our branch clan being devoured by others?"

In the silence, an old man who was nearly sixty years old spoke.

"Zhao Ziyuan, what do you mean by this?"

Before Zhao Zhenrong could speak, Zhao Zhenyuan scolded him with a stern face.

The sixty-year-old man did not speak, but the leader of another branch stood up and pointed at Zhao Zhenyuan angrily and said:

"Zhao Zhenyuan, not everyone who speaks louder is right."

"My uncle is unwilling to speak directly due to our kinship, so let me tell you!"

"Don't bother trying to hide it. We've already heard that various factions have been attacking us in recent days, and it's all because of the involvement of your main branch."

"he!"

Zhao Yuanlang pointed at Zhao Zhenrong and said angrily, "It's because his son Zhao Mu colluded with the demonic sect that we became the target of public criticism. Everyone wants to take advantage of us."

Before he finished speaking, another leader of a branch stood up and pointed at Zhao Zhenrong.

"Brother Yuanlang is right. If Zhao Mu hadn't colluded with the demonic sect, all the connections our Zhao family has cultivated in the major sects over the years would have retreated. How could that bunch of trash have the guts to unite against us?"

"Master, do we, the entire Zhao family, have to bear the responsibility for the mistakes made by your son Zhao Mu?"

"If this matter is not resolved, within three months at the latest, not only will we, the branch families, lose our main family's assets, and even our heads will be chopped off."

bang~

Zhao Zhenxing, who was in a bad mood, slammed the table and stood up, even the teacup on the table was shaken off the table and smashed into pieces.

"What do you all mean by putting all the blame on Mu'er?"

"The Xuantian Dao Sect didn't even say that he was colluding with the Demonic Sect, so what right do you have to say that?"

"Do any of you have any conscience?"

"Mu'er has cultivated connections in Xuantian Dao Sect over the years and has helped you branches solve problems, right?"

"Especially you, Zhao Yuanlang. The turmeric mines of your Liangdu branch were occupied by the demons from Qingliang Mountain, but Mu'er asked his friends to kill and eliminate them."

"If it weren't for Mu'er, would your Liangdu branch have been able to prosper so much over the years thanks to the profits from the turmeric mine?"

"And you, Zhao Qian, you guys..."

Zhao Zhenxing pointed his finger and cursed one after another, leaving all the branches of the family speechless.

However, they still had no intention of bowing their heads.

"Second brother, stop it!"

After a long silence, Zhao Zhenrong finally spoke. He looked up at the Zhao family members in the hall and said calmly, "Tell me, what do you want me, as the head of the family, to do to help you overcome this crisis?"

"It's very simple. Just give up the position of Patriarch and leave the Zhao Family on your own initiative."

"As long as the Zhao family and Zhao Mu are completely clear of any ties, no one will dare to accuse our Zhao family of colluding with the demonic sect."

"Then the crisis will be resolved."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhenxing sneered and said, "I finally understand. You are here to force me to abdicate today, right?"

Zhao Zhenrong ignored his brother and looked at the many Zhao family members below. He asked, "Do the other branches of the family also mean the same thing?"

Everyone was silent.

"Okay, I'll give up the position of head of this family."

"And within three days, I will take my family and leave Yuzhou City, completely severing ties with the Zhao family."

"I hope you can manage the legacy left by our ancestors well."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Zhenrong stood up and walked out of the conference room.

"Big brother!"

"Big brother!"

"Hey!"

Brothers Zhao Zhenxing and Zhao Zhenyuan repeatedly called out to their eldest brother Zhao Zhenrong, but he did not stop at all and left the conference room without looking back.

The two brothers looked at each other and sighed deeply.

They knew very well that since the eldest brother made a decision, it would not be changed.

"Humph!"

Helplessly, the two could only compromise. After giving a vicious look to the group of villains who were taking advantage of others, they flicked their sleeves and snorted coldly. Then they took their respective children and followed Zhao Zhenrong's footsteps to leave the conference room.

Seeing the three Zhao Zhenrong brothers leave, everyone present smiled.

What happened tonight is done.

The main branch of the Zhao family that has controlled the entire family for nearly three hundred years will finally change hands tonight.

Although the trouble caused by Zhao Mu this time did cause headaches for these branch families and their industries did suffer varying degrees of damage, it was actually still under control.

In a sense, this is actually a good thing.

After all, this gave them a great opportunity to force the emperor to abdicate.

As for Zhao Mu's collusion with the Demonic Path.

They weren't actually too worried.

So many days have passed, and Xuantian Dao Sect hasn't said anything, let alone sent people from the Law Enforcement Hall to destroy the clan.

The result is self-evident. The Enforcement Hall of Xuantian Dao Sect did not judge Zhao Mu as a member of the demonic sect.

The reason why so many forces have taken action against them during this period is actually just a test.

They all agreed that as long as the Zhao family acted a little tougher, they could immediately scare these bastards away.

Now that the main branch of the Zhao family has been replaced, it is time to deal with those forces that dare to extend their claws.

How to be strong?

That’s very simple, just spend money to recruit a mercenary group to take action.

They have always believed that the main line's method of spending money to build relationships with major sects is too low in cost-effectiveness.

It is not as cost-effective as hiring practitioners.

......

backyard.

Zhao Zhenxing and Zhao Zhenyuan did not go back to rest, but followed all the way to the residence of their eldest brother Zhao Zhenrong.

"Brother, you are confused!"

Zhao Zhenxing sighed deeply and said, "Could it be that you can't see through this drama of forcing the emperor to abdicate tonight?"

"That's right, big brother, second brother is right."

Zhao Zhenyuan also spoke up, "The Xuantian Dao Sect never said that Mu'er was a demon. Even if the major forces are ready to make a move, it will only be a temporary disturbance. Over time, this crisis will naturally disappear."

"You two~"

"You really think people's hearts are too simple."

“Although Xuantian Dao Sect didn’t classify Mu’er as a demon, the people in the secular world might not necessarily think so.”

"After all, our Zhao family has expanded too quickly over the years and has too many enemies."

"And once Mu'er's incident comes out, regardless of whether Xuantian Dao Sect has judged him as a demonic sect or not, all the connections we previously spent a lot of money to cultivate in the major sects will stay away from us."

"Once this power is gone, do you think our Zhao family's enemies will be able to hold back?"

"Zhao Yuanlang and the others thought that by forcing me away, they could take over the main branch of the Zhao family in Yuzhou City. Little did they know that a greater crisis was brewing, and that kind of crisis that would make them the target of public criticism was simply not something the Zhao family could resolve."

"The Zhao family was destroyed in my hands."

"I really don't know how I will face my ancestors in the underworld!"

Zhao Zhenrong sighed deeply, then said to his two younger brothers with a guilty look on his face, "It's me, as the eldest brother, who has let you down. Alas!"

"Brother, what are you talking about? We are brothers, how can you say sorry?"

Zhao Zhenxing waved his hands, looking like he was going to get angry if he said another word.

At this moment, the tightly closed door was suddenly pushed open by a stream of light.

The two Zhao Zhenrong brothers immediately stood up to defend themselves.

Under their vigilant gaze, the streak of light quickly transformed into a large word "escape".

"this...."

Zhao Zhenxing and Zhao Zhenyuan looked at their eldest brother at the same time.

"No matter who warned you, Second and Third Brothers, take your families with you immediately. We will leave Yuzhou City overnight."

Zhao Zhenrong frowned.

For some reason, he had a very bad feeling.

"it is good!"

The two brothers nodded and immediately went to pack their things.

In less than half an hour, a convoy quietly left Yuzhou City.
