After all, Zhao Yuankun was young, in good health, and recovering well. In just one night, he recovered a lot and was no longer as breathless as yesterday.

At this moment, he drank the medicine under Su's service and was about to take a rest when someone came to report that the clan leader Zhao Xingyun had come to see him.

"Please come quickly," he said.

Mrs. Su felt uneasy and couldn't help but look at the housekeeper. After the housekeeper nodded to her, she avoided the door.

"Yuankun, are you okay?" Zhao Xingyun came in and asked Zhao Yuankun.

"Okay." Zhao Yuankun looked like he was struggling to sit up, "Yuankun is like this. He can't salute his thirteenth uncle. He is really ashamed.

Zhao Xingyun quickly pushed him back: "Lie down quickly and don't move. Why do we, grandfather and grandson, need these false gifts? It's true that you take good care of yourself."

He asked again: "What on earth is going on with you?"

The housekeeper hurriedly said: "It's not appropriate for me to bother you. Let the thirteenth old man with little human eyes say it."

He told Zhao Xingyun one by one the speeches that he had deleted and changed after discussing with Zhao Yuankun, and then said: "Madam was also angry that the master suffered such an unjust disaster, so she impulsively went to question the fifth girl. Nothing happened as a result.

As for me, I was slapped by the eldest lady."

As soon as he saw Zhao Xingyun come in, he knew that his wife's going to make trouble could not be hidden. Zhao Xingyun must have come because of Su's trouble.

There are quite a few members of their tribe, and the alley is where they must pass when entering or exiting. At least half of the people watching the excitement just now are members of the tribe. Su chose Zhao Ruxi because he wanted to discredit Zhao Ruxi's reputation in the tribe.

Got that place.

Zhao Yuankun doesn't know about this yet.

When he heard what the housekeeper said, he was shocked and angry: "What's going on? Where did the madam go to question people? She couldn't have gone to the uncle's house, right? Stupid! If she went there, wouldn't it be for nothing to be bullied?

"

Mrs. Su was the wife that the old lady married to him, so naturally he didn't like her.

Why did Zhao Yuanxun marry a girl from an aristocratic family, Zhao Yuanliang married a girl from an official family, and why was he the only one to marry the daughter of a businessman?

He completely forgot that when he got married, the Duke of Guo was already seriously ill, and all the money in the house was flowing out, leaving nothing but empty shelves.

The old lady married him to the Su family because the merchant's daughter had a rich dowry. Even if she didn't have the idea of ​​a dowry for her daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law in each house would still have a rich dowry lying there. At least the people in his house would not drink the northwest wind.

If Zhao Yuankun is married to a young lady from a poor official family, then the Hou family will be so poor that they have no food to eat. Will the old lady and Mr. Zhu have to use their dowry to support Zhao Yuankun's family?

Even if you can support your own husband and children, why should you support your brother-in-law and his family?

The Duke doted on his younger son, but he was seriously ill at the time and was weak-minded. He also felt that his wife's words were reasonable, so he agreed to the marriage.

Marrying a businessman's daughter doesn't sound good, but at least it's affordable. You won't have to worry about food and clothing. Your younger son will be able to have food and clothing for the rest of his life.

Zhao Yuankun didn't like Su's identity, but he also knew that if he wanted to seek an official position and a career, he would have to rely on the money of his wife and the Yue family. Therefore, he treated Su well; if anything happened to the Yue family, he would try his best to help.

He didn't like women, so he didn't even take a concubine in these years, coaxing the Su family to give up on him, and let Zhao Yuankun use the dowry money in his hands at will.

The housekeeper said hurriedly: "I didn't go to the uncle's house. It was the fifth girl's carriage that I stopped at the alley."

Even so, Zhao Yuankun was still worried. But in front of Zhao Xingyun, he couldn't ask in detail.

He twitched the corner of his mouth at Zhao Xingyun and showed a bitter smile: "A woman is not sensible, so my thirteenth uncle is worried. But she is also dedicated to your grandnephew and me, alas!"

This is not what Zhao Xingyun came here to talk about.

He waved his hand: "Yuan Kun, do you know that your eldest brother took this matter as a quarrel and went to the clan leader just now to sever ties with you?"

"What?" Zhao Yuankun straightened up in shock, but because of the wounds on his body, he fell down again with an "ouch".

"Sir." The housekeeper quickly held him down, "Sir, please don't get excited, it may hurt your wound."

Zhao Yuankun had no time to pay attention to him and stared at Zhao Xingyun: "Thirteenth uncle, what's going on?"

Zhao Xingyun told what happened just now.

Since he came to deliver the news, he naturally wanted to flatter and befriend Zhao Yuankun, hoping to gain some benefits.

At this moment, without waiting for Zhao Yuankun to say anything, he scolded Zhao Yuanxun with the same hatred, saying that he was ruthless and disregarded brotherhood. He also felt unfair for Zhao Yuankun.

"Where is that document?" Zhao Yuankun interrupted his chatter.

Zhao Xingyun was stunned for a moment: "...it's on your elder brother. He said he would take it to the Yamen for filing."

"Okay, since he is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust." Zhao Yuankun's chest was ignited with a raging fire that almost did not burn him.

"You ask someone to bring a stretcher and carry me to the door of Uncle Suiping's house." He ordered the housekeeper.

"This... Master, your injuries are still very serious. The most important thing is to recover your health first. It won't be too late to wait until you recover from your injuries." The housekeeper advised.

Zhao Xingyun also said: "Yes, yes. It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. It's not too late to keep the mountains alive. You don't have to worry about running out of firewood. The most important thing for you is your weight and body. If the root cause of the disease falls and you become as weak and inexperienced as your elder brother, what?

Ambition has become empty talk.”

He came to flatter Zhao Yuankun, and he didn’t want to offend Zhao Yuanxun to death, nor did he want to be seen as a gossip in front of the clan leader and others. But if Zhao Yuankun came to the door to make trouble with Zhao Yuanxun now, he would definitely hide what happened today.

Can't live.

So he spared no effort to dissuade Zhao Yuankun.

However, Zhao Yuankun insisted on going and glared at the housekeeper and said, "I'm not even paralyzed yet, so I can't control you, right? Do you want me to ask someone to sell your family now?"

The housekeeper had no choice but to agree. When he went out, he asked someone to prepare a stretcher and asked someone to notify Su.

Let’s not talk about the situation in the third room, let’s talk about the big room. After Zhao Yuanxun returned, people have been paying attention to the activities in the third room.

"Sir, the Thirteenth Old Master has gone to the Third Master's house." A servant came to report.

Zhao Yuanxun raised a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were full of sadness: "Look, it really is so."

In recent years, their family has had money difficulties, but they have never lost money to the clan. Half of the expenses for clan education are provided by the uncle's family. When the clan members have any problems, he will help them whenever he can.

But what happened today made him feel cold.

Zhao Yuankun only got a small official position and was dismissed. The tribe's balance immediately fell in his favor. If he really climbed up and became a high official in the future, there would still be room for Zhao Yuanxun in this tribe.

Land?

Zhao Ruxi did not expect that her grandmother and parents would use this incident to sever ties with Zhao Yuankun. When she returned to the house and found out, she gave them a thumbs up.
