This was originally just a small town close to the edge of the Zhao family's territory, but after Zhao Yixuan chose to make it his base camp, it gradually became more powerful than the Zhao family's main city.
Who in the ancient clan doesn't know that the Zhao family relies on Zhao Yixuan, the elder of Sanhui, to be so proud?
Unfortunately, this backing is not that solid.
Therefore, the elders and younger members of the Zhao family have been thinking of ways to take back all the power of Zhao Yixuan and truly turn it into the property of the Zhao family.
And Zhao Yixuan has never had a biological son, which is what the elders of the Zhao family are happy to see.
Especially now that he has relented and wants to train Zhao Xun as his successor.
In this way, the Zhao family breathed a sigh of relief.
But now, what they thought was a sure thing has yet another twist. .??.
With the appearance of the carriages carrying Zhao Yixuan's close friends, the Zhao family, which had been deserted for several days, became lively again.
Early in the morning, Lin Mengya would be busy receiving guests with Elder Zhao.
Standing at the door, she looked at Zhao Zifei who was following behind Elder Zhao, trying to brush up his presence, and she just felt ridiculous.
"Brother Zhao, I didn't expect that we would meet again because of the sudden death of my sister-in-law. You have to take good care of yourself and don't be sad."
The first guest to arrive was Zhao Yixuan's close friend.
Zhao Yixuan wanted to tell his friends something he was holding back, but he could only pretend to be sad on his face.
Lin Mengya felt a little curious when she saw that although the other party had a chubby body, he got off the carriage very neatly.
The man got off the carriage, held his brother's hand tightly, and sighed deeply at God's injustice.
In the end, Elder Zhao couldn't listen anymore and interrupted him directly.
"Brother Jiang, it's cold outside and it's really not a good place to chat outside. Come on, let's go inside and talk."
Jiang Yishui immediately shrank his neck and nodded in agreement with his proposal.
"Oh, such a cold weather is going to kill me."
He turned around and saw a young woman with her face covered standing at the door of his friend's house.
As his mind changed, he looked at his brother with a hint of reproach.
"Although I shouldn't be involved in your housework, brother, my sister-in-law has just left. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to do this?"
Zhao Yixuan was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what his friend meant.
Yes, this is a misunderstanding.
He quickly explained in a dumbfounded way.
"This elegant girl is my wife's niece. I thought that there was no one in charge in the house, so I took her over to take care of things for me temporarily. My feelings for my wife can be judged by heaven, brother, please don't talk nonsense.
”

"Oh oh oh!" Jiang Yishui patted his head and expressed his apology to Lin Mengya with some annoyance.
"Little girl, don't blame me! That's just the way I am. I say whatever I say. If I offend you in any way, please bear with me."
Lin Mengya actually didn't hate this chubby middle-aged uncle.
From the fact that the other party could reprimand Elder Zhao for marrying again at this time, she knew that at least this uncle was still a man of courtesy, justice and integrity.
Besides, this little misunderstanding is really nothing to worry about.
He immediately shook his head and made a gesture of asking.
"Uncle Jiang, please come in. I have ordered people to prepare hot soup to ward off the cold, as well as a charcoal stove for heating. You will not be cold when you come in."
When Jiang Yishui heard this, his eyes lit up.
"Oh, this little girl is so considerate! I'm not afraid of anything in my body except the cold. When it gets cold today, I feel the chill going straight into the cracks in my bones. It's really unbearable!"
As early as when this guy got off the car, Lin Mengya could tell that he was really afraid of the cold.
At that moment, I couldn't help but suggest, "Since your body is afraid of cold, don't drink cold wine when you drink."
Jiang Yishui was a little surprised, "Little girl, how do you know that I drink cold wine? And doesn't that wine warm the body? Why do I get colder and colder as I drink it?"
Lin Mengya thinks this Uncle Jiang is really cute.
"Wine can indeed warm the body. If you add some herbs that can stimulate the menstrual flow and activate meridians, it will be of great benefit to your body. But your body is already cold, so if the wine is chilled, it will be cold in the stomach. Even if
It has the effect of warming up the body, and with the amount of alcohol you drink, you may become drunk.
Think about it, in the summer, a person's intestines and stomach will still suffer if he drinks a sip of cold water, let alone in winter when he is trapped both internally and externally. If he drinks a sip of ice-cold wine, wouldn't it make the inside and outside both cold?"
Cairu's voice was originally a bit hoarse, but now that she was speaking so eloquently, it made people feel soft and appropriate.
After talking about it, Jiang Yishui became somewhat curious about this clever junior.
"How do you know I'm a bad drinker?"
Lin Mengya smelled it and then said, "I smell the smell of alcohol on your body. The smell is not strong, and your face is red. If you had been drinking well, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to stand still now. So, you
You should have the kind of physique that makes your face turn red when you touch alcohol, right?"
Jiang Yishui was even more surprised.
"I just drank a glass of wine, you girl has such a good nose!"
In fact, Lin Mengya is nothing more than
It's just a conclusion drawn through observation.
But she couldn't reveal her medical skills openly, so she had to use the most simple things to help prove her judgment.
Lin Mengya lowered her head in embarrassment.
"I'm showing off in front of Uncle Jiang, and it's worth it if I can make you smile."
Jiang Yishui was originally a person with a rather out-of-the-box personality.
At that moment, he waved his hand with a smile.
"Oh, I just really envy Brother Zhao. With a young man as smart as you, I think he won't be too uncomfortable."
Speaking of the sister-in-law he had never met, Jiang Yishui was still a little worried about his brother.
"Um, girl, your uncle hasn't done anything special recently, right?"
Lin Mengya was leading people towards the inner courtyard. Hearing this, she shook her head and lowered her eyes.
"My uncle is a strong man, but he has already arrived. Uncle Jiang, please go in and rest."
Seeing the way she hesitated to speak, Jiang Yishui had obviously thought of some possibilities.
He sighed and whispered to Lin Mengya, "Oh, your uncle is so stubborn. Although your aunt is gone, he still has to live well. Well, if you have time, please give me more advice.
."
Lin Mengya nodded and agreed.
It seems that Jiang Yishui really cares about Elder Zhao.
She personally welcomes guests, naturally so that she can be well aware of all guests.
In this way, when Elder Zhao goes to recruit their helpers, she can also have some control.
"You are still good at everything. Why, your aunt took my mother's position, and you want to take mine too?"
She was blocked halfway.
Cairu was impatient and wanted to push someone away, but was stopped by Lin Mengya.
Zhao Zifei, with red cheeks, stood in front of her angrily.
Oh, I came here early in the morning to pretend to be filial, but I was ignored intentionally or unintentionally.
I'm afraid that even if she was away, Elder Zhao would not look at him seriously, right?
"You can't just occupy a magpie's nest, but you really think this place is your home?"
As she taunted, Zhao Zifei's face looked even more sinister and manic.
"This place originally belonged to me! It was your aunt, that shameless bitch, who robbed my father!"
Lin Mengya's eyes turned cold, and she couldn't help but increase the strength of her fingers that signaled Cairu.
"Oh, then why don't you dare to question your father who was the instigator? If I remember correctly, he insisted on marrying my aunt.
Also, after my aunt got married, she also brought untold wealth to the family. At least some of my uncle’s private businesses were involved. My aunt takes care of most of it.
I don’t care if you and your mother want to invade the house, but you can’t get involved in my aunt’s hard work!”
Zhao Zifei did not expect that the woman in front of him became so hardened that even he felt the pressure.
But how could he be willing to do so?
He went behind his mother's back and risked falling out with her in order to get a chance to show his face.
Unexpectedly, he was ruined by this woman.
Thinking of this, the viciousness in his eyes became more intense.
It's not that Lin Mengya didn't see the look in the other person's eyes as if he wanted to eat her, but so what?
He brought all the embarrassments on himself and cannot blame anyone else.
"Please step aside, I have to go out to help entertain the guests."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Zifei turned around and ran away.
This made Lin Mengya very surprised.
You were saying harsh words to yourself just now, why did you leave so easily?
"Master, why did you stop me just now? If you don't teach such a person a lesson, he really takes himself seriously."
Cairu was very puzzled.
Likewise, she couldn't bear it even more when the other party stabbed her master with that wanton look.
Lin Mengya just glanced at the other party's back in confusion.
From what she knew, Zhao Zifei was definitely not the kind of person who would give up easily.
Just now, he left in such a hurry, either because there were other plots against him, or because he saw someone he didn't want to see.
"Zifei, you are so old. Even a mother like me didn't expect that you would be so promising, and you still want to be a dutiful son to that dead man, right?"
The corners of Mrs. Duan's mouth were slightly raised, and she seemed to be smiling, but the cold glint in her eyes made Zhao Zifei tremble with fear.
"Mother, no, it's not what you think! I can explain it. In fact, all of this is-"
With a "pop" sound, all his excuses were interrupted by Mrs. Duan's slap.
"Kneel down!"
Following Mrs. Duan's sharp shout, Zhao Zifei kneeled down reflexively.
The hard bluestone was bone-chilling. He had suddenly knelt down again just now, and now he felt that the dull pain was almost unbearable.
But he didn't dare to say anything.
For many years, whenever he made a mistake, his mother would punish him by kneeling down.
It doesn't matter whether it's hot or cold, or whether there are servants around to serve them.
"I gave birth to you to be obedient and help me achieve my wish, not to disrupt the situation!"
