When Zhao Chong and Mrs. Zhao saw Jin Ronghou, they knelt down with a plop, and Mrs. Zhao even cried while wiping her tears with a handkerchief: "Master Hou, someone framed my family Rujin, he is usually the most well-behaved, Never do such a thing!"

Zhou Shouyun has a bad temper, and immediately said angrily: "You are so cute! Do you know what he did yesterday!"

Because Zhao Rujin is the youngest son, Mrs. Zhao loves him the most, and immediately retorted: "Isn't it just drinking tea with others!"

"Eat tea!" Zhou Shouyun really wanted to smash the teapot on the table at her face, but seeing that she was a woman, she held back abruptly, and just said sternly: "Eat tea! Molested fifteen or sixteen-year-olds!" Little girl! I lost 2000 taels of silver! The worst thing is that I killed someone in the Chu courtyard. This is what you call being well-behaved. When your son did this, no one put a knife on his neck!"

Mrs. Zhao was also panicked, and she looked to Zhao Chong for help. What Zhao Chong feared most at this time was that the Marquis of Jinrong would withdraw the marriage. Then thinking of the Fifth Prince, she gained some confidence and said, "Master Hou, this marriage is a five-year-old marriage." The prince means that even if you are as angry as Jin, he is also your future son-in-law."

It's good that Zhao Chong didn't mention it, but when Zhao Rujin was mentioned, Marquis Jin Rong immediately turned dark, pointed at Zhao Chong and said, "I, Marquis Jin Rong's mansion would not dare to favor such a son-in-law." Marquis Jin Rong has always been a good-natured man, and seeing him today Being so angry, Zhao Chong also panicked, he actually didn't eat oil and salt.

Zhao Chong wanted to speak again, but Jin Ronghou said impolitely: "Come here! See off the guests!" Zhao Chong and Mrs. Zhao wanted to struggle again, but they were surrounded by a few servant girls and carried them out.

Zhou Ying who got the news hurried to the study, saw this scene, and said blankly: "Brother, father."

Jin Ronghou seemed to be much older. Seeing Zhou Ying calm down in a hurry, he forced a smile and said, "Ying'er, you don't have to worry, my father and brother will take care of it for you. Now we have to go out, you stay at home obediently .”

Although Zhou Ying was puzzled, seeing their serious expressions, she knew that the matter was not simple, so she nodded and returned to the room with her maid.

The fifth prince, who had heard the news a long time ago, also had a head as big as a bucket. He didn't expect that the Zhao family was so top-notch. He was in a hurry when he saw Wei Lin coming, and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Wei, what do you think this is good for?" ?”

Wei Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Abandon the car and save the handsome man."

"Are you asking me to abandon the Zhao family?" The Fifth Prince was still a little hesitant, "But their surname is Zhao after all. If I abandon them, I'm afraid it will chill the people who follow me."

Wei Lin shook his head and said, "If you don't abandon the Zhao family, people will be disappointed."

"What's the explanation?" The fifth prince asked anxiously.

Wei Lin covered his lips and said, "Which one is more important, the Zhao family or the Marquis of Jinrong? Which one is right and which one is wrong?"

The fifth prince was stunned for a moment, and replied: "I understand, after all, the Zhao family is wrong about this matter. Regardless of whether there is a conspiracy or not, I cannot make Marquis Jinrong feel bad."

Wei Lin smiled and said: "You are the future king, so naturally you must distinguish between rewards and punishments, and use people on their merits."

At this moment, the news came that Marquis Jin Rong brought his son to see him.

After Wei Lin retreated to the inner room, the fifth prince asked the servant to bring him up.

Marquis Jin Rong took his son Zhou Shouyun and knelt at the feet of the fifth prince. The prince sighed when he saw him like this. Unexpectedly, Marquis Jin Rong seemed to be ten years older after just talking about it for a few days.The idea of ​​abandoning the Zhao family became more determined in his heart. The Zhao family was just cousins ​​of his uncle's family. Although Jin Ronghou of this generation was not as good as before, his connections in the court were a great help to him.

"Get up quickly!" The Fifth Prince personally stepped forward to help him up, with a painful and guilty expression on his face, and said: "I just got the news too, I didn't expect Zhao Rujin to be such a beastly person, I know people clear."

Even if there was some blame in his heart, Jin Ronghou didn't dare to show it, and quickly put on a sincere and fearful expression and said: "How can you blame Your Highness, you were also deceived by Zhao Chong's family, I didn't expect Zhao Rujin to be so thoughtful." Ruthless. I just pity my daughter..." Before he finished speaking, Jin Ronghou wiped his tears with his sleeves. If he said that he was a little bit hypocritical just now, he is really worried about his daughter now.

The fifth prince now only thinks that this matter is tricky, and there is no room for change in the marriage between the two families.My careful arrangements were also disrupted, and I felt dizzy in an instant, so I could only comfort him: "Don't worry, Marquis Jin Rong, I will give you an explanation for this matter. As for the matter of the young lady, I still need to think about it in the long term. She is a woman." , the most important thing is boudoir reputation."

Marquis Jin Rong also noticed the perfunctory tone in the fifth prince's tone, and a chill suddenly rose in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.Seeing this, Zhou Shouyun also felt a little uncomfortable. Now that Zhou Ying is completely dragged down by Zhao Rujin, if he talks about marriage in the future, he may have to find someone with a lower status.

Marquis Jin Rong was also very regretful, but he didn't dare to show the slightest bit on his face, he could only say sincerely: "Thank you, Fifth Prince, for making decisions for my little girl."

The fifth prince rubbed his brows, and reluctantly said: "Go back first, I will send someone to investigate carefully, so that Miss Zhou will not be affected."

Jin Ronghou expressed his thanks in a hurry, but he knew in his heart that the fifth prince would investigate this matter, but his daughter's reputation would still be affected to some extent, so he had to send her out of Fengshouzhou first to avoid any criticism.

After Jin Ronghou left, Wei Lin came out, and the fifth prince sat on the chair and asked, "Your Excellency, do you have any tricks?"

Wei Lin shook his head, sighed and said, "You shouldn't have softened your heart just now."

The fifth prince paused, he had indeed made up his mind to cut off his arm before meeting Jin Ronghou, but when he thought that there was another Zhao Wuxia in the Zhao family, he was somewhat reluctant.

Seeing that he hesitated, Wei Lin sneered at his lust for beauty, but still muttered: "If the fifth prince is really reluctant to part with the Zhao family, then he can only take the Zhao family out of this matter." Wei Lin saw his eyes widened. Liang continued: "Before, I didn't approve of His Highness doing this because I felt that the gain outweighed the loss."

The Fifth Prince was also hesitant at this moment, and could only say: "Let me think about this matter again."

Seeing this, Wei Lin stopped talking. Even though Zhao Rujin escaped the murder, it was an indisputable fact that there were fights and jealousy in the teahouse. No matter how weak Jin Ronghou was, he would not let Zhao Chong get on top of him.

On the other side, Jin Ronghou's mansion is still gloomy. Mrs. Zhou, Zhou Ying's mother, came here after hearing the news. She saw her daughter combing her long hair with a comb, her eyes were empty and she didn't know where to look. It was tightened.

Mrs. Zhou restrained the expression on her face, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth before she dared to walk to her daughter, and said with concern: "The servant girl said that you have been in the room for a day, do you want to go out with your mother?"

Zhou Ying was taken aback. Normally, although her parents doted on her, they didn't like to let her show up in public. Why did she behave unexpectedly today.Seeing the worry in her mother's eyes that could no longer be hidden, Zhou Ying understood her worry, and forced a smile on her face, "Okay, mother."

Sitting in the carriage with her mother, Zhou Ying couldn't help but think of Zhao Rujin. After all, she was only a 16-year-old girl. She also had many fantasies about her future husband, whether he was heroic or literary.Zhou Ying lowered her eyes, suppressed the tears that were about to roll back, and forgot the flashing figure just now, reminding herself constantly in her heart that she is the daughter of Marquis Jin Rong, and her marriage is doomed It's just a bargaining chip, it's better to forget about those unrealistic fantasies.

------------------------------------------

Knowing that Marquis Jin Rong was going to see the fifth prince, Zhao Chong sat on the ground like a puddle of mud. Mrs. Zhao was also greatly stimulated, she looked at Zhao Chong dumbfounded, and only hoped that he would be able to turn the tide.

Zhao Wuxia sat in front of the dressing table and listened to Luo He finish what happened today, the expression on his face remained unchanged, but Luo He was secretly startled by her coldness.

"Where is Rujin?" Zhao Wuxia pulled back her black hair at the temples, and spoke casually, as if the one who was convicted of murder was not her own brother but just an insignificant person.

"The third young master is now locked in prison. The master and his wife went to Jin Ronghou's mansion and the fifth prince's mansion, but they were... kicked out." Luo He replied cautiously.

"Where's father?" Zhao Wuxia didn't say a word about Zhao Rujin's whereabouts, but continued to ask.

"In the courtyard." After Luo He finished speaking, Zhao Wuxia stood up and walked to her parents' courtyard. Luo He followed closely behind her.

Zhao Wuxia saw the slumped look of his parents, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, but he still stepped forward and saluted: "Father, mother."

Seeing that it was her, Mrs. Zhao immediately looked like she was about to cry again. Zhao Wuxia handed over the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then handed the embroidered handkerchief to Luo He who was behind her and said: " You go out first."

"Yes." Luo He walked out of the room with an embroidered handkerchief, and closed the door intimately. Through the gap that was about to close, she saw Zhao Chong's eyes lit up, as if she had seen some hope.

The three of the Zhao family had been talking in the room for a long time, and Zhao Wuxia came out of the room when the sun was setting in the west, except Mrs. Zhao still had a look of despair, but Zhao Chong was relieved.

Even if the Zhao family loses a son, it doesn't matter, he still has a son, and most importantly, he still has a good daughter.

"We can't get on the boat of the fifth prince for the time being, but...the Zhao family can't turn around." Most of the gloom in Zhao Chong's heart has disappeared, but fortunately, the marriage between Zhao Wuxia and the fifth prince is only a verbal promise, and it is not guaranteed. , the wealth of his Zhao family is coming soon!
