Lin Mengya didn't think that there would be any extra trouble in angering these two people with ulterior motives at this time.
What's more, even if she endured her nausea and dealt with the two of them, they would definitely not give up this good opportunity to plot against her.
Returning to the house angrily, Long Tianyu waved to her.
Sitting back in his arms, Lin Mengya's anger had long since dissipated.
"Let Zhao Zifei be Mrs. Zhao's filial son. It's a shame you can think of this method."
He smiled and nodded his wife's nose.
If Zhao Zifei really agreed, then his biological mother, Mrs. Duan, would become a joke.
"Do you think I'm joking with them?"
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows, and Long Tianyu frowned and thought for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle.
"You, you, whoever offends you is really unlucky."
Zhao Zifei is not stupid. He knows very well that if he takes more initiative in this ritual, he may be able to show his face in front of the Zhao family's allies.
By then, everyone will know that he will be the biological son recognized by the Zhao family.
But if an adopted son really comes out of nowhere to take the place of Young Master Zhao, then Zhao Zifei will be an illegitimate son with an unfair reputation.
For those families who value the blood of aristocratic families, such a difference is almost a signal that Zhao Zifei will never be able to integrate into the circle of aristocratic families.
Therefore, Lin Mengya had strangled the opponent's lifeline.
"I just put a fair choice opportunity in front of him. It depends on his choice whether he wants their mother-son love or the Zhao family's power status."
She relaxed her body and leaned against her man's chest.
If you want to defeat Mrs. Duan and her son, the first step is to separate them so that they are no longer one body.
Now it seems that the familial bond between mother and son is not that strong. +
Zhao Zifei took a few deep breaths before suppressing the anger in his heart.
But Zhao Xun, who was angered before him, didn't have the endurance skills as good as him.
Not long after I came back, I was so angry that I almost demolished the house.
"That woman is simply too deceitful!"
Zhao Xun's face was extremely ugly.
Ever since he was chosen as his cousin's successor, the entire Zhao family had placed their hopes on him.
So much so that in just a few months, his former gentleness and elegance had all been replaced by the pride that should be expected of an heir to an aristocratic family.
But now, a mere village woman dared to look down on him.
This made Zhao Xun unable to hold back his anger.
But because the other party was someone whom his uncle trusted, he couldn't get angry directly. The anger in his heart became even more intense. I feel like I have nowhere to vent.
"Cousin."
Zhao Zifei pretended to chase after him in a hurry and called Zhao Xun in a hurry.
"Cousin, why did you leave without waiting for me?"
Of course he knew very well why Zhao Xun left, but in front of the other party, he knew what kind of appearance he should maintain so that the other party would not be wary of him.
Sure enough, although Zhao Xun looked unhappy, his tone towards him was just a little cold.
"If I don't leave, will I still be there and let her humiliate me?"
When this was mentioned, Zhao Xun's eyes lit up a little.
Zhao Zifei's expression seemed a little troubled, and he came forward directly, but his eyes were full of calculation.
"I know that girl was too open-minded. Fortunately, cousin, you left first. Otherwise, if you heard what she said later, you would be even more angry."
Zhao Xun glanced at him and asked coldly, "What else did she say?"
But Zhao Zifei was hesitant and refused to speak clearly.
"Well, even if she said something about you, cousin, it doesn't really matter. Maybe I'm overly concerned."
When he said this, how could Zhao Xun not understand?
Immediately insist that he make it clear.
Finally, Zhao Zifei seemed to be forced, and said in a low voice but very clearly, "She said that during the funeral of the late Madam in a few days, she would find someone to act as the elder's adopted son. In fact, this is nothing, although the elder is still here
He is still in his prime, but in this way, after all, he seems to have a successor."
Lin Mengya clearly said that she wanted to find an adopted son for the late Madam, but Zhao Zifei deliberately changed it to find an adopted son for Elder Zhao.
In fact, this is not wrong, but the key is that Zhao Xun is the successor chosen by Elder Zhao.
Of course, Zhao Xun will not inherit Elder Zhao's personal wealth, but what he inherits is Elder Zhao's position as elder, which is related to the life and death of the entire Zhao family.
But now, that woman has to find someone to replace her.
It is absolutely impossible for Zhao Xun to let this happen!
"That woman, how dare she!"
Zhao Xun was anxious and angry, and his face could no longer remain tense.
But soon, he calmed down his emotions.
"Even if he is my cousin's adopted son, it has nothing to do with me."
He looked meaningfully at Zhao Zifei, who still knew nothing about it, and felt that his little cousin was still a little immature in his thinking.
"On the other hand, cousin, if she really succeeds,
I'm afraid I'll still get a share of my cousin's property. Zi Fei, it's not that my cousin is too talkative. As my cousin's only son, you can't be confused in such a big matter."
Zhao Zifei pretended to be ignorant on the face, but in his heart he was secretly scolding Zhao Xun for being cunning.
He has clearly diverted the trouble away, but why does this guy still refuse to take the bait?
Zhao Xun pretended to be intimate and said in his ear, "Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. If you ask me, why don't you come and be this filial son? Anyway, Madam, no matter what you say, she is the wife of my cousin Ming Yuan. If you become her
Adopted son, wouldn’t that be more justified?” .??.
Zhao Zifei was a little unhappy and his tone was not very good.
"Cousin, you put it lightly. If I do this, how will others see me and my mother? Do you think I am the kind of villain who can abandon dignity for the sake of profit?"
A trace of disdain flashed across Zhao Xun's eyes.
However, he still patted Zhao Zifei's shoulders nicely.
"What are you talking about? I just think that instead of making things easier for outsiders, it is better for you, the rightful owner, to take everything you deserve in advance. Besides, it is estimated that after the ceremony, your mother will be married off.
When the time comes, once the status is correct, who will still bother to talk about this matter?"
Zhao Zifei remained silent this time.
Zhao Xun knew that his heart was moved, so he kept up his efforts.
"I just thought you didn't want to feel sorry for your mother, that's all. If you really can't bear to do this, just pretend I didn't say anything. I just can't bear to see my cousin having your identity taken away for no reason."
"Identity" is Zhao Zifei's biggest pain point in his life.
Since childhood, he has known that his father plays the role of father and husband in another family without him and his mother.
And he could only follow his mother in the small courtyard where they lived, waiting for his father's arrival day after day.
It wasn't until he was ten years old that he gradually understood that people like him were the most shameful illegitimate children in people's eyes.
Now, he and his mother are finally about to enter the house and become the real masters of the Zhao family.
All this is hard-won, and he must not allow anyone to destroy it!
"I understand cousin."
His eyes sparkled and he made up his mind.
"Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to convince father and won't let anyone take our place!"
Zhao Xun nodded with a smile on his face.
"I knew you were a smart man. Don't worry, I will help you, my good cousin."
A gleam of cold light quickly passed through Zhao Xun's eyes. r> The first heavy snowfall since the beginning of winter has been lingering for more than three days.
The snow scene here is different from what Lin Mengya saw in Feiye City and Longdu.
It's cold, but the snow here is much softer.
The snow on the ground is only a fist deep. It's not that the snow didn't fall enough, but that it melted as it fell.
All the branches are covered with crystal clear ice, and the color of snow makes the place look like a fairyland made of ice.
It's a pity that this fairyland is so beautiful, but it's too easy for people to relax their vigilance and forget about the cold brought by this snowy scene.
Lin Mengya grew up in the north. Although she was no stranger to cold winters, the cold here was really hard for her to accept.
"It's snowing so hard. I heard people down here say that they haven't seen such a heavy snowfall here in ten years. It's really rare!"
Cairu rubbed her hands, walked in from outside and went straight to the charcoal basin to warm herself up.
Lin Mengya couldn't leave the house these days.
In addition to being cold, Long Tianyu and Cairu were even more worried that she would slip.
Although she repeatedly emphasized that even if she slipped while sitting on the ground, it would not cause any harm to the baby in her belly, the two people still disagreed.
She huddled in the rabbit plush blanket that Long Tianyu brought for her, and handed Cairu a cup of hot tea.
"How are things going?"
Cairu took a sip of tea and warmed up before saying with a mysterious smile, "It's my master's clever plan, but Zhao Zifei really can't handle it anymore. He is thinking about how to propose to Elder Zhao to let him be a filial son in religious affairs!"
"
Lin Mengya nodded.
The accident was unexpected. After all, in Zhao Zifei's eyes, his mother's momentary grievance was not as important as his future.
"But will the master let him succeed?" Cairu asked curiously.
After all, Lin Mengya had not shown the slightest idea of letting anyone become Elder Zhao's adopted son in the past few days.
"If he is worthy, just treat him as such." Lin Mengya said nonchalantly.
Cairu said in surprise, "How can that be done! Aren't you doing this just to prevent him from being in the limelight and completely suppress him?"
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows, "To be in the limelight? Do you think it's so easy to be in the limelight?"
Although Cairu still had doubts, she was always obedient.
Anyway, what her master said was definitely correct. She just needed to cooperate with his master's plan.
That night, the snow stopped and the fog dispersed.
Early the next morning, ruts crushed the smooth and traceless snow surface.
