Chapter Twenty Six: The Invisible Eye
As soon as they left, the old lady's face darkened, and the wrinkles on her face deepened in anger, "It's really too much!"
Mrs. You also looked worried, "The Zhao family himself has suffered a disaster. We haven't done anything yet, but he already dislikes us?"
"Grandma and mother don't have to worry about these little things. Since there is no fate, it would be better to talk things over earlier." You Tingrong could only comfort the old lady, her words were considerate, but she couldn't hide the sadness on her face.
The Zhao family will definitely follow Zhao Shaoan to gain power in the future, and there is no need for the You family to have grudges with others. Furthermore, if Shan Yunxin is really the one who got in the way, it is You Tingrong who has caused the innocent Mr. Zhao to suffer. It is reasonable for everyone in the world to fear the powerful.
among.
"Rong'er, come here." The old lady stretched out her hand. You Tingrong walked to her side and was held by the old lady obediently.
Some rough hands gently stroked the back of You Tingrong's hand, "Don't worry, the Zhao family is blind, and grandma will help you again."
"Thank you grandma for loving your granddaughter." You Tingrong smiled and said, "There is no need to rush, my granddaughter also wants to spend more time with her grandma."
The old lady's words made You Tingrong's heart sink into reality.
Shan Yunxin is paranoid, ruthless and unscrupulous. She doesn't want to harm others because of her own selfishness, so she should take it slow and understand the situation before making plans.
After saying a few more words to the old lady, You Tingrong left and went to the back door of You's house avoiding people. Butler Zhao had been waiting for a while and was pacing back and forth anxiously.
"Butler Zhao, you've been waiting for a long time."
When Butler Zhao saw her coming out, he quickly stepped forward and saluted, "Miss You, what do you want to see me for?"
"Does Butler Zhao not know?" You Tingrong's eyebrows raised slightly, as if she wanted to hear something ridiculous, "The Zhao family stepped on my face, shouldn't I even ask why?"
Butler Zhao complained repeatedly, "Miss You is wrong. It's really the Zhao family's bad situation. This is a helpless move!"
"There is no need for Butler Zhao to say these words to fool fools." You Tingrong's face was cold. She was obviously a young girl, but she looked even more aggressive than the mistress of the house.
You Tingrong continued to put pressure on Butler Zhao, "I won't embarrass you. You are doing things for the master, and you may not know the beginning and end. As long as I meet the Zhao family who can take charge of the affairs and find out the reason, the matter will be over.
.”
"This..." Butler Zhao was in a dilemma as he could not make the decision.
"Uncle Zhao!"
The two were in a stalemate, and the sound of horse hooves was heard not far away, and a call came from the carriage.
The speaker had a nice accent, his words were clear and gentle, and he was gentle and elegant. You Tingrong had once heard that this person was taking her son Yi'an to study. He was Zhao Shao'an.
Butler Zhao's expression changed, "Young Master, why are you here?"
"I know everything. It's inconvenient for a mother to be alone. Naturally, I, as a son, have to mediate." Zhao Shaoan explained the reason in a few words, then turned to look at You Tingrong, "Presumably, this is Miss You?
"
As soon as Zhao Shaoan received the news, he went to the prison first. With the help of his classmates and friends and his filial piety, he visited Mr. Zhao, made some guesses about the ins and outs of the matter, and figured out the key to the matter.
It's the eldest lady of the You family.
After knowing that Mrs. Zhao sent Butler Zhao to bring a gift to apologize, Zhao Shaoan felt that this was inappropriate. The Zhao family was caught in the middle, and being secretive would only offend others. It was better to speak openly and sell You Tingrong's favor.
Therefore, when Butler Zhao didn't return for a long time, he came in person.
"Mr. Zhao." You Tingrong nodded in salute.
"Uncle Zhao, please carry your things onto the carriage first. I'll be here later." Zhao Shaoan simply dismissed Butler Zhao and politely invited You Tingrong to the corner of the door.
"My mother also panicked and acted out of proportion. If there is any offense, please forgive me, Miss You." Zhao Shaoan apologized, still looking cold and cold. He was obviously not as good as he was, but he was very considerate in his words and actions.
.
"Whatever Miss You wants to ask, I will definitely tell you."
——
Dusk has arrived, and You Tingrong is admiring the chess sets given by Shan Yunxin by candlelight.
Fidgeting gently with his fingers, he watched the brilliant chess pieces spinning on the table, and the light projected through the chess pieces into jumping spots of light all around. You Tingrong just stared at the spots in a daze.
With the dancing light and shadow, she remembered some past events.
At that time, she gave birth to Yi'an and ennobled her as a concubine, and Shan Yunxin made her the head of Changle Palace. In front of the harem was the queen, who could not be shaken by virtue of being the head of the civil service, Prime Minister Tu;
In body.
And she was caught in the middle, relying only on Shan Yunxin's favor to balance the situation in the harem and carefully protect herself and her children.
On the warm couch in Changle Palace, Shan Yunxin held her firmly in his arms and told her, "The court and the harem, like this chess game, are both ways of playing games."
"When you attack left, you look to the right; when you attack behind, you look forward." Shan Yunxin's whisper is still in his ears, "The chess game is like this, and so is attacking the heart."
At that time, she was lying on his broad chest in a pretentious manner, tangled her fingers in his long hair, and these words were all heard and heard, and her heart was full of tenderness.
Under the red plum lamp, You Tingrong pulled off the hairpin, let down her long hair, pinched a strand of their hair, and carefully tied it into a knot, "The knot is a husband and wife, and they love each other without doubt."
After You Tingrong finished speaking, she hugged Shan Yunxin's neck tightly and threw herself into his arms. She didn't even have the nerve to look at his reaction, and her face was already flushed.
At that time, Shan Yunxin's arms were the safest and most reliable refuge in the world. She knew how treacherous and unpredictable the emperor was, but she never thought that she was not his wife, but just his pawn.
Thinking about what Zhao Shaoan said today, You Tingrong felt chills rising.
The Shuntian Prefecture did not investigate the rice and grain business at all, but came straight to the Zhao family. Mr. Zhao was in prison and was neither tried nor sentenced.
I only got one piece of advice: as a wife in charge, you should keep your eyes open and know who you can and cannot see.
Mrs. Zhao thought about it over and over again, and the women she wanted to see in the near future were the women of the You family.
Zhao Shaoan expressed his apology before leaving and reminded You Tingrong that there are eyes everywhere in the capital and you must be careful.
You Tingrong has been able to conclude that the only two powerful people she knows in the capital are Chi Qinglang and Shan Yunxin.
He is the only one who can make Shuntian Mansion obey the wind.
Fierce means and careful thinking are indeed Shan Yunxin's style of doing things. Is it worth such a huge effort to deal with a little girl like her?
But why? It’s obvious that the two of them have only met each other a few times, so why does it have to be her?
Thinking of this, You Tingrong felt trapped in a deep powerlessness and didn't know how to reverse the defeat.
