When Zhao Zijian finally finished reading the letter, he sighed softly, closed his eyes, forcibly suppressed the emotion and sourness in his heart, asked the housekeeper to take someone down to rest, and asked him to go back and bring back the New Year's gift prepared for Zhongli.

The housekeeper was strange at first, he didn't prepare Zhongli's New Year's gift at all, but now he can't prepare it.

In the study, the atmosphere was silent.

Zhao Zijian put the envelope in his hand on the table, raised his eyes and looked around everyone, then gently shook his head and sighed, "Let's take a look!" ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, take the letters and look at them one by one, and suddenly there are no words.

From the border city to the capital, it will take a month at the earliest, and the time since Zhongli's last accident is only a month and a few days. So this New Year's gift and this decision were actually made before she was released from prison, and now they have only come out, just to give Zhao Zijian face.

Moreover, she also said bluntly above, she did not have the intention of climbing the rock, and Zu Xun could not enter the ranks, he was very grateful to the four princes for their love to him before, but it was a pity that after he sold the property, the help to the four princes was not so great. However, he promised that no matter who he sold to in the future, he would ask the other party to agree to the previous promise between him and the fourth prince, and this would never change.

After a few people were silent for a long time, someone frowned and took the lead to speak, "Is he taking revenge?" Revenge on the fourth prince, you didn't save her when you watched coldly? ”

As soon as these words came out, some people directly denied it, "This is impossible, let's not mention Zhongli's character for the time being." Let's just say that if you want to take revenge on someone, you have to gamble with all your family property? What's more, he wasn't persecuted at all, was he? It's just a big jail sentence. So there is no revenge at all without retaliation. ”

"I don't think so, if he still retaliates, he won't promise to keep the promise he made with the four princes." Another staff member in the back sighed, shook his head with a wry smile, "Before, I thought that the fourth prince was a little too exaggerated about this person. It's just a businessman who can make more money, but I can only admire this courage. ”

"Who's to say it isn't? We used to foolishly laugh at her for being so stupid, and selling such a big property at a low price was simply a loss-making deal. Now it seems that it is not that he sells low, but that his requirements are too high, otherwise the glass factory alone will be more than this price. ”

The person who spoke at first frowned and retorted with some displeasure. "That's not necessarily, what if she is retreating and wants the fourth prince to notice him? After all, in this way, who doesn't say that she has the courage and means? Even you, who have always been above the top, have a lot of respect for her, don't you? ”

In a word, everyone fell silent.

Zhao Zijian waved his hand at them a little irritably, and frowned angrily, "You guys go down first, let me be quiet for a while." ”

Several mermaids rushed out, and Zhao Zijian was the only one left in the entire study, staring at the envelope in front of him, the complexity and struggle in his eyes were obvious.

Zhongli, you've really got a big problem for me!

At this time, Zhao Yiyan also received the news that Zhongli was selling his property cheaply, and he hurriedly came out of the barracks. "Prepare the carriage." After thinking about it, he was still relieved and decided to go over and see it for himself.

"Lord Wang, where are you going?" The old housekeeper didn't move, since Zhongli was arrested by the prefect, Zhao Yiyan's mind was all on Zhongli, how could he go on like this? Xiao Yuanyuan can be in the backyard now, but since he entered the palace, he hasn't even seen Zhao Yiyan.

In fact, after Xiao Yuanyuan saw Zhongli that time, he was invited back by the old housekeeper when he came back, after all, she was Zhao Yiyan's future woman, and if something happened to her outside, Zhao Yiyan couldn't hang on her face. And in this way, it just gave Zhao Yiyan an excuse not to accept her as a concubine, so she has been living in the backyard.

"This king asked you to prepare a carriage." Zhao Yiyan glanced at the old housekeeper dangerously, his eyes were gloomy and his face was displeased.

The old housekeeper closed his mouth helplessly, Zhao Yiyan's eyes were too dangerous, giving him the illusion of being targeted by a beast. He knew that if he continued to talk about it, the prince might be angry, after all, even if he was qualified, he was just a subordinate.

The old housekeeper hurriedly bowed down to prepare the carriage, Zhao Yiyan changed his clothes in the inner room, didn't look at him much, and got into the carriage quickly. "Go to the Zhong Mansion." After getting into the carriage, Zhao Yiyan said in a deep voice.

The old butler's face changed slightly, he stood in place, stunned as the carriage went away, and finally sighed deeply.

At this time, Zhongli was sitting in front of the fire, thinking about what was next. All the properties have been sold, but she can't be beaten passively like she is now, and she is bullied but she doesn't even have room to fight back. What's more, half a year has passed since her three-year appointment with Wang Qinglin, and she only has two and a half years left.

Just when she was thinking about it, Rumo came in and reported: "Second son, General Zhao is here." ”

"General Zhao?" Zhongli was slightly stunned, then raised his eyebrows, a little suspicious, why did this man come at this time? Wasn't he blocked out by Zhong Liyu before? And the eldest brother also told himself that he had made it clear to Zhao Yiyan, but it wasn't like it!

She rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Please let him in." ”

Anyway, he helped last time, otherwise they would not have been able to find Zhong Liyue so smoothly, and now she turned people away, which is not very polite, and he is impatient every time he faces Zhao Yiyan like this, if he has anything to say, it is better to say it clearly.

"Yes." Rumo bowed out, and after a while, Zhao Yiyan, who was cold, stepped in. After entering the door, Zhao Yiyan untied the cloak on his body very comfortably and handed it to Rumo next to him.

The corners of Rumo's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Zhongli quickly, and immediately took the cloak and retreated, leaving only Zhongli and Zhao Yiyan in the room.

"Sit down." Zhongli sat on the sofa with a pillow in his arms, and ducked into the soft sofa in his loungewear, looking lazy and inviting.

Zhao Yiyan's eyes flashed twice quickly, and he sat down opposite her stiffly, "Zhongli, is this how you treat guests?" On a cold day, don't even have a cup of tea? He didn't mention the conversation he had with Zhong Liyu last time.

"Like ink, tea." Zhongli shouted outside the door.

Hearing the sound of the answer outside, Zhongli turned his head to look at the man in front of him, today he was wearing a dark robe, wrapping his sturdy figure inside, a typical person who was dressed thin and stripped with flesh.

Zhongli found that her thoughts were starting to deviate, she hurriedly pulled her mind back, and said with a smirk: "I don't know what the general is looking for me today?" If I need help, I'll do my best. ”

"With our relationship, I have to ask you for help before I come to you? Can't you come here for a light meal? Or do you think I'm just like you? Facing Zhongli's hypocritical smile, Zhao Yiyan's heart choked, this person will always stay away from him when he gets benefits, which makes him angry, but he is reluctant to be angry with her, and he sticks it with his eyes.

Such a realization made Zhao Yiyan scold himself for being spineless, and begged Zhongli to see him in a hurry. How many times did he give Zhong Li an expulsion order in his heart, but it didn't take long for the ban to be lifted naturally, and this kind of complicated behavior and thoughts simply made Zhao Yiyan about to collapse.

"Absolutely." When Zhongli heard this, his body couldn't help but stiffen, but he touched his nose embarrassedly and raised his eyebrows, "Okay, if you want to eat, just wait here." Zhongli stood up and was about to go out, Zhao Yiyan hurriedly took her hand, and her soft and delicate hand was wrapped in the palm of Zhao Yiyan's rough and wide hand, which was unexpectedly harmonious.

Zhao Yiyan and Zhong Li were stunned for a moment at the same time, Zhong Li hurriedly reacted and pulled out his hand, happy in his heart, he was still thinking about how to find an opportunity before, but now Zhao Yiyan has touched it.

He immediately frowned, looked at Zhao Yiyan coldly, and his voice was even more cold and ruthless. "General Zhao, I have said many times that I don't break my sleeves. Before I was a gentleman, a prince, the god of war of our apocalypse, and the idol of my generation, please don't let your image collapse in front of me, otherwise your friends won't have to do it. Zhongli's tone was unprecedentedly firm, and he didn't hesitate.

And Zhao Yiyan stood still and didn't move, looking at him expressionlessly, even though his heart was like a knife, he still tried to laugh, "Are you still my friend now?" Just as the words were spoken, he himself sneered, who has ever seen someone who still shoots at his friends?

Zhongli had his own little Jiujiu in his heart, and when he heard this, he pursed his lips and looked at the other party deeply, nodded carelessly, and then found an excuse to leave here quickly. After all, he calculated Zhao Yiyan by himself, and he was weak in the end.

After Zhongli left the room, he met Rumo, who brought tea, and Rumo said suspiciously: "Second son, why did you leave?" "Isn't this leaving General Zhao alone in the room?

"You can bring the tea." Zhongli didn't want to explain anything, so he walked to the door of his room and pushed it in.

Leaning against the door, she took a deep breath, if this continues, her identity will be exposed sooner or later, and now, she is not ready, she must not let such a thing happen, and the premise of putting an end to this matter is to stay away from Zhao Yiyan!

When he was fledgling, he wanted to take advantage of Zhao Yiyan's east wind, and now although it seems that he is disheartened and scattered all his family wealth on the surface, in fact, he has moved from the light to the dark, and when his industry blooms everywhere, how will those people be hit?

And according to his own speculation, after this incident, the fourth prince Zhao Zijian must be very sorry for him, and the more he loses now, the greater his care. So to sum up, Zhao Yiyan is still a little more dangerous, of course, if one day he can really let go of his mind about himself, it will be a good thing.

Zhongli sat in the dark room to calm down before returning to the living room.
