112: Doubt
Gradually, the rain stopped, and the sun slowly emerged from behind the dark clouds.
The thin sunlight made Zhao Nanke's heart even more gloomy.
One wrong step, one wrong step.
Zhao Nanke entered the courtyard and took a deep breath.
The old man Zhao in the house squinted slightly, and watched Zhao Nanke enter the room, and then opened his eyes a little wider: "Nanke, what's wrong with you?" ”
Zhao Nanke glanced at his grandfather, but didn't know how to speak.
Master Zhao had never seen his grandson so embarrassed, drenched all over, and his hair was messy.
"Grandfather...... It's all my fault. Zhao Nanke waited for a while before slowly saying the words in his mouth.
He didn't have the heart to change a set of clothes at all, and after he came back from the Xia family, his heart was very flustered, because he knew that Xia Ruan knew his thoughts.
Zhao Nanke didn't like to owe favors since he was a child, so when the Zhao family raised him, no matter how bad he was to the Zhao family, he couldn't do much worse. It was only later that he gradually became sensible and realized that some people, no matter how many things you give, can never satisfy their appetite. Zhao Nanke thought that if Zhao didn't touch the place he least wanted to be touched, he wouldn't easily take her life.
After all, she is her grandfather's own daughter, and she is his second aunt.
"Huh? What happened? Old Man Zhao felt that something was wrong, got up from the soft couch, and slowly walked to Zhao Nanke's side, "Is my uncompetitive daughter making trouble for you again?" Hmph, wait for her to come back and see if I don't kill her. But Nan Ke, she is your second aunt, and now she is pregnant again. You can just put up with it. ”
Old Man Zhao knew how vicious his daughter's thoughts had been over the years, but no matter how hated he was, he couldn't really kill his daughter after all. He lived all his life. is such a daughter, the eldest daughter died less than a year after she was born. Thinking of this, Old Man Zhao couldn't help but sigh.
He continued to add to Zhao Nanke, "You go and change your clothes first, don't get cold, and come and talk to me when you are done." ”
Zhao Nanke wanted to speak, but was glared at by Old Man Zhao, so he had to shut up and go back to the room to change his clothes.
As soon as Zhao Nanke left, Old Man Zhao's face showed a trace of exhaustion. He feels old and easily indecisive a lot of the time.
In fact, a long time ago, he should not have let his second daughter marry into the Xia family, but at that time, his daughter was clamoring to marry Xia Fugui, and Old Man Zhao had no way to take his daughter. He thinks that he is a powerful person in the business field, but when it comes to dealing with these things in the house, there is no way to do it.
The second daughter has heard a little about Xia Fucheng and the Li family over the years.
He actually persuaded his daughter in private. The Zhao family really doesn't lack any small money, but her daughter always can't listen to it.
Daughter, I would never want anyone to have a better life than her.
Old Man Zhao thought of this, and thought of Zhao Nanke's embarrassed appearance just now. felt that if his daughter caused some more trouble, he would really be powerless.
From the time his daughter said that she wanted to give Xia Qingya to Zhao Nanke as his wife, Old Man Zhao knew about it. The daughter actually wants to take the family's property. He was shocked and angry. Can......
"Evil obstacles." Old Man Zhao couldn't help but sigh.
After waiting for less than a cup of tea, Zhao Nanke changed his clothes.
Old Man Zhao raised his head. looked at Zhao Nanke in front of him, and felt a little more comforted in his heart.
He also has grandchildren.
Zhao Nanke slowly walked to the edge of the soft couch, and then sat down: "Grandfather, this matter is my fault. ”
Old Man Zhao smiled and looked at Zhao Nanke with some doubts.
"How could you do something wrong, you are my most important child." Old man Zhao said it seriously, his son was promiscuous, and his daughter didn't want to listen to him, and now it was this grandson who could be by his side, "No matter what you do wrong, I won't blame you." It's just, what can make you so helpless? ”
Old Man Zhao was a little curious about what his grandson had done wrong.
Every time, Zhao Nanke always surprises him.
When the Song family came to make trouble, when his daughter said that she wanted to help him raise Nan Ke, Old Man Zhao actually already had a plan in his heart.
The Zhao family has a big business, and it is impossible for the son to inherit the Zhao family's family business, if the son comes to inherit the Zhao family's family business, then the Zhao family will definitely lose in the hands of his son after he dies.
At that time, Old Man Zhao could only put his hope on Zhao Nanke.
He knew that the children he brought out were selfish, so he simply asked his daughter to help bring out his grandchildren.
If Nan Ke becomes the same as his daughter, then he will inherit a reliable child from his cousin to inherit the Zhao family's family business.
If Nan Ke can be by his daughter's side, without being influenced by his daughter, and do something that satisfies him, then he can also hand over the family business in his hand to his grandson with peace of mind when he goes to the west in the future.
Old Man Zhao knew that the bet he made was completely right.
Zhao Nanke has lived up to his expectations, and Zhao Nanke has been very far-sighted in business over the years.
When Nan Ke sold the cotton in advance, he was angry and kicked over the pear wood chair, but later he realized that if Nan Ke did not sell the cotton in time, Nan Ke would definitely lose a lot of silver.
Looking for the old man to look at his grandson more and more, but the old man Zhao also understands that his grandson is too smart, so he naturally understands how his daughter has been thinking over the years.
The grandson doesn't say anything, and he doesn't want to mention it.
It seems that today......
"Grandfather, do you remember Xia Ruan?" Zhao Nanke took a deep breath and said the words, "It's Miss Xia Jiasan." ”
Old Man Zhao looked at Zhao Nanke thoughtfully: "She? This time, are you going to help her continue to help her offend Bei Xiao? You're crazy. ”
What the children and grandchildren are doing these days, Old Man Zhao sees it in his eyes. Although the Zhao family is one of the best families in Dongyang County, no matter how rich they are, they are just businessmen, how can they offend Beixiao.
Old Man Zhao couldn't understand why his grandson would do such a thing.
"No, it's not." Zhao Nanke's words calmed Old Man Zhao's heart, but he didn't expect it. Zhao Nanke's next words will make him almost lose his mind.
Zhao Nanke had guilt in his eyes. "Xia Ruan's mother, she ...... She is the daughter of Cheng Guogong. Grandfather. This time the second aunt ......"
"Nonsense." Old Man Zhao couldn't help but shudder, and asked in a panic, "Isn't it a concubine?" How could she be ......"
But Old Man Zhao couldn't say it anymore, because Zhao Nanke had never deceived him about anything over the years.
Old Man Zhao felt that his head was splitting, and it took him a lot of strength to suppress the anger that surged into his throat: "Let's talk about what is going on today." ”
Zhao Nanke could only lower his head and repeat all the things once, he kept saying very slowly and carefully. I was afraid that my grandfather would faint in a fit of anger.
Even if the second aunt has done a lot of wrong things over the years, although my grandfather has also blamed her, after all, the second aunt is my grandfather's flesh and blood, how can he really let the second aunt have a bad life.
Zhao Nanke also knew that the Zhao family would not be able to save the second aunt this time.
After Zhao Nanke finished speaking, Old Man Zhao was surprisingly calm on the surface.
Zhao Nanke was a little worried, and called out tentatively: "Grandfather? ”
"Break it......" It took a long time for Old Man Zhao to say this sentence slowly. After that, we will leave her alone. ”
Zhao Nanke has always wanted to hear this sentence from his grandfather's mouth, but now he feels that something is wrong.
In fact, Old Man Zhao is very fortunate that he only needs to sacrifice a daughter in exchange for the stability of the Zhao family. But Old Man Zhao also knew that he had really lost his daughter this time.
No matter how vicious Zhao Erya is in the mouth of outsiders, she is also his daughter......
He wanted to watch his daughter die in front of him.
Just think of that. Old Man Zhao felt a terrible pain in his chest.
"Grandfather, it's all useless to me. If I ......" Zhao Nanke didn't know how to speak, he had planned for the worst before. It was only after the death of his grandfather that he would get rid of the Zhao family and Xia Fugui. But I didn't expect that this matter would be so much in advance, and I had to let my grandfather know about it.
Old Man Zhao waved his hand: "Go to the warehouse to find some valuable things to send to the third lady, send more." If she refuses to take it, I will kneel before her myself...... The Zhao family is the brainchild of our ancestors, and I can't let it be destroyed in my hands. Nanke, you did the right thing this time, even if you see your aunt on the street in the future, you have to pretend that you don't know it. Otherwise, our Zhao family really can't be saved. ”
"Don't blame yourself, this is what your second aunt did for herself." After a while, Old Man Zhao couldn't help but comfort him.
Even if Old Man Zhao loves his daughter, he understands the truth to some extent.
He stood up and wanted to continue talking, but a mouthful of blood spit out, and Zhao Nanke panicked.
The Zhao family's old house was in chaos, and the Xia family was actually not much better.
Li Changfeng came in a hurry this time, and he left in a hurry.
When he left, he left something for Xia Ruan and instructed, "I must hurry back to Kyoto, and when your mother wakes up, you will bring her to Kyoto." If she doesn't want to live in Kyoto, then she should also come to see your grandfather, I think your grandfather is really not good this time. ”
Li Changfeng and Xia Ruan explained a lot of things, talked to Master Wen and Master Xiao, and even went to the Xiao family's house, and left Dongyang County after the last day.
Xia Ruan Zhilu said, this time the third uncle must have come out without telling his grandfather.
She also knew that the third uncle had helped her open up a big road this time, but she still had to rely on herself to complete the road.
"Miss." Du Ruo interrupted Xia Ruan's contemplation, a little hesitant, and was speechless.
Xia Ruan gathered his mind, looked at Du Ruo, and asked curiously, "Is there something wrong with the accounts?" ”
"It's not." Du Ruo thought about it for a while, and then mustered up the courage to say to Xia Ruan, "Young Master Xiao Jiu is asking to see you outside the door, and the slave maid doesn't know if Lu Dao should be ...... Should I report it to you? ”
Xia Ruan was a little surprised, why did Xiao Jiu come to her at this time? (To be continued......) (To be continued......)
