Zong Jin didn't expect that Zhao Fuling could say such brazen words.

He was stunned for a moment, not thinking of how to refute it for a while.

Zhao Fuling spoke again, and her tone was gentle and close: "Cousin Jin, I am about to marry you, even if I am lustful, I can still distinguish between right and wrong. I don't know which long-tongued person deliberately said these words, so that you misunderstood me. But if you call her, we will confront her."

When Zhao Fuling said this, Yingxia's face on the side suddenly changed.

Zong Jin didn't say anything, but said with a straight face: "There's no need to confront you, you just have a plan in your heart."

After finishing speaking, Zong Jin didn't go out, but sat down opposite Zhao Lingling.

He glanced at the ledger spread out on the table and said, "Grandmother told you to show it?"

"yes!" Zhao Fuling rubbed her eyebrows with a headache, "I didn't expect that there were so many businesses under the Half Moon Hall, it made my brain hurt."

Zong Jin's gaze moved up from the account book, staying on Zhao Fuling's eyes, and said meaningfully: "Many brothers in the mansion are fighting for these businesses and account books. It's good that you don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings."

Zhao Fuling immediately answered: "Then do you want this blessing for you?"

Zong Jin: "...... Of course I don't."

What's wrong with being an idle and rich young master, it's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, so he doesn't bother to use his brain.

Zhao Fuling glanced at Zong Jin, and saw that the other party had even turned sideways to avoid suspicion, so she couldn't help laughing.

"What you just said was your Seventh Brother Zongyou, right? I took the position of young master, and after taking the ledger, I saw that his face was green every day."

"yes!" Zong Jin did not shy away from it, and said bluntly, "Before you came back, everyone thought that I was the most promising to take over Zhuangzi. So he's targeting me everywhere, and he's going to be superior to me in everything."

Zhao Fuling answered: "It's a pity that the more he comes up, the more my grandmother dislikes him."

Zong Jin nodded, looking much more serious: "Grandmother doesn't like people who are too top-notch and have obvious ambitions."

After a pause, he looked at Zhao Ling, "Except for you."

"Why?" Zhao Fuling flipped through the account book and said curiously, "Just because I'm a woman, I happen to be her own granddaughter?"

Zong Jin thought for a while, took one last look at Yingxia, and said, "You go down first."

Yingxia was still afraid of Fang Cai's aftermath, so she hurriedly exited the house when she heard this, and closed the door.

Zhao Fuling looked at Zong Jin with a smile: "What do you have to say, make such a mystery."

Zong Jin sat upright, looked at Zhao Fuling and asked, "I've actually always wanted to ask you, do you really want to take over your grandmother's career and fulfill her wish to restore the Liu family?"

"Or else?" Zhao Fuling pointed to the thick ledgers on the table and said, "The stall in the Half Moon Hall is so big, and the business is all over the place, can't it be left alone?"

Zong Jin shook his head, looked at Zhao Fuling and said, "But I always feel that you and grandmother think differently."

Zhao Fuling asked him, "What's the difference?"

Zong Jin thought for a moment and frowned: "I can't say it, but I always feel that you didn't really come back."

Zhao Fuling's face did not change and said, "What my grandmother and I want to do is to put the Liu woman on the throne, what's really insincere? You doubt me because I didn't grow up in Zhuangzi, I was just an outsider who came out halfway, right?"

When Zong Jin heard Zhao Fuling's words, he immediately explained, "I didn't mean that either, I just ......

Zhao Fuling interrupted him, the smile in the corner of his eyes gradually dissipated, and his expression was a little scrutinizing.

"What about you? Cousin Zong Jin, you are smart and clever but you have always been clumsy, and you show the appearance of a gentleman in front of everyone. Am I going to suspect you of scheming because of this?"

Zong Jin was taken aback by this, and he hurriedly stood up nervously.

"Cousin Ling, don't make ...... mistake."

Zhao Fuling intercepted his words: "Don't react so much, according to your temperament, surprise is not like this, the performance is a little exaggerated."

Zong Jin: "......"

He stared at Zhao Ling

After looking at each other for a long time, he sat down helplessly.

"You must have misunderstood me anyway." Zong Jin shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you are smart and clever, you will be praising me. But deliberately behaving like a gentleman or something, I don't admit it, I'm a gentleman, and I have no intention of robbing you of the position of the young master."

When Zong Jin said this, he became proud: "If you don't believe it, you can ask the people in the Zhuangzi if they can play with me in dog walking and cockfighting? I grew up playing with that."

"I know." Zhao Fuling smiled again.

She quickly skimmed through the ledger and flipped another page, "If you were really ambitious, I would have left you a long time ago."

Zong Jin's body stiffened, and he looked at Zhao Fuling unconsciously.

Zhao Fuling raised her eyes and glanced at him before saying, "I'm not kidding, you are your grandmother's own grandson, except for me, you are the most qualified heir. I'm an ambitious person, and I already hold power in my own hands, and I'd rather die than give it to others."

"If you really have a different heart, the first thing I will get rid of is you."

Zong Jin looked at Zhao Fuling's beautiful face, and then listened to her words, only to feel a chill in his heart.

Thinking of Zong Sheng, who had no corpse before, he couldn't help but ask, "Zong Sheng was killed by you?"

"It's me." Zhao Fuling raised her eyebrows, "He and Zong You calculated me together and wanted my life, why can't I fight back?"

Zong Jin frowned, only feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart: "He...... It's our second brother."

"Little cousin, do you think I look like a good person?"

Zhao Fuling said quietly: "He wants to kill me, if I don't get rid of him first, I'm leaving trouble for myself."

Zong Jin was speechless for an instant.

At this moment, he suddenly found Zhao Fuling in front of him, and there was another face.

Although he had already had an answer to Zong Sheng's death in his heart, he still felt different when he heard Zhao Fuling say these words with his own ears.

Zong Jin looked at Zhao Lingling and asked, "What about Zong You?"

"He is a recognized young master of the Half Moon Hall in the Liangyan area, do you think he looks like he wants to let me go?"

Zong Jin frowned, "At least for now, he didn't do anything to you."

"By the time he does anything to me, it'll be too late." Zhao Fuling glanced at him, "What I think in my heart, you know now. Do you want to remind him, you can do it yourself."

When Zong Jin heard this, his face was a little ugly.

Zhao Fuling didn't want to say anything to him anymore, but said, "By the way, you can bring Yingxia over to serve."

Zong Jin was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"Reward you girl." Zhao Fuling wrote lightly, "I don't need someone here who has betrayed the Lord again and again, I have already given her a chance before."

Zong Jin's brows twisted into a group: "It's just revealing news, or did I force her to say it......

Zhao Fuling was unmoved: "Either you take it away, or I will give you death!"

Zong Jin's face turned blue with anger, and finally snorted coldly, turned around and shook his sleeves and left.
