Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 165 Brother and Sister
As soon as Zhao Mengxian returned to the mansion, she was hurriedly called into the room by Mrs. Zhao.

Mrs. Zhao was leaning on the cushion, and when she saw sister Xian's red and swollen face, she was furious immediately!

"Come on! Go and invite the master here..."

"Her Pan family is really majestic! Not to mention taking things from our sister Xian... and beating people like this!"

Mrs. Zhao's chest rose and fell violently, and Du Juan hurriedly asked someone to get some ice to apply on sister Xian's face, while comforting Mrs. Zhao in a low voice.

Mrs. Zhao's face was livid with anger, how could she listen at this moment!
"This god-damned evil, relying on the power of the Pan family... is so defiant!"

"Mother……"

Zhao Mengxian cried in front of Mrs. Zhao:
"Mother... If the elder brother hadn't arrived in time today, my daughter would have suffered a lot..."

Mrs. Zhao added fuel to the flames when she heard the words, she put Sister Xian in one hand, and scolded Ruoyu and the others with a cold face:
"You are all dead! Sister Xian ordered someone to beat her like this, and you don't even know how to beat her back!"

Ruoyu trembled all over, knelt down and kowtowed:

"Mrs. Pan...Miss Pan brought a lot of people here today...Slaves...Slaves have already stopped..."

Not to mention being outnumbered, but they can fight... How dare their slaves attack the daughter of the Taiwei's family?
Mrs. Zhao turned pale when she heard the words, pointed at Du Juan and said:
"You go and invite the master here! Go!"

Seeing that Du Juan couldn't persuade Mrs. Zhao no matter what, she had to go out of the yard.

Zhao Shangshu had just returned home, changed his clothes and asked Du Juan to invite Mrs. Zhao to Mrs. Zhao's room.

Seeing Sister Xian with a red and swollen face, she was stunned for a moment and asked:
"What... what happened? Who hit you?"

Sister Xian choked up and called her father, crying even more sadly.

Mrs. Zhao said coldly:

"Who else but the Pan family!"

"Mrs. Pan is so unreasonable... the girls who gave birth are so rude, it's a shame that I didn't agree to change the marriage! Otherwise, our Zhao family will really suffer from being dumb!"

"Master still blamed me for my short-sightedness at the beginning...Look now! That Second Miss Pan is really well-educated? Ask about Mr. Pan...Yesterday I almost made people laugh!"

Zhao Shangshu originally wanted to marry Taiwei Pan's family, because Mrs. Zhao resolutely disagreed with the marriage exchange, and had a few words with her about it.

Later, Mrs. Zhao broke her leg and her temperament became weird. Zhao Shangshu became more and more unwilling to argue with her.

He also heard about Pan Yuming's matter early this morning. Among these juniors, there are really few outstanding ones...

Seeing Mrs. Zhao look down again, Zhao Shangshu was a little annoyed immediately, and he didn't argue with Mrs. Zhao, so he called someone to call Zhao Mengping and asked about the situation face to face.

Zhao Mengping changed his clothes and came in, telling everyone what happened in detail.

Zhao Shangshu's expression was not very good after hearing this, and he couldn't help but said in a deep voice:

"The girl from the Pan family really has no rules..."

After Mrs. Zhao heard this, she babbled about what Zhao Shangshu had complained about her that day. Zhao Shangshu got tired of hearing it, so he interrupted her directly, and said to Zhao Mengping:
"Brother Ping, did you really report to the Jingzhao Mansion today?"

Mrs. Zhao didn't make a sound after listening, and turned to look at Zhao Mengping.

Zhao Mengping paused, bowed and said:

"Back to father, my son just saw that the treasurer of Cuiyufang was stalking others, so he deliberately made an issue of Jingzhao Mansion..."

Zhao Shangshu nodded repeatedly and said:

"Okay... My son is right. Although this matter has caused our sister Xian to suffer a bit, it is the daughter's family who are bickering. If it is serious, it will hurt the peace of the two families..."

"Besides, since Second Miss Pan is willing to apologize, we don't have to be unforgiving..."

Zhao Mengping frowned, raised his eyes to look at his mother who looked unhappy, and had no choice but to bow his head in response.

Madam Zhao suddenly raised her voice and said:
"Master... you plan to leave this matter alone?"

"Our sister Xian was slapped in the face in public... You, a father, didn't support her, and you still told her to swallow your anger?"

"How much money is a hairpin worth? Our Zhao family's face is so worthless? The master is not afraid of making people laugh!"

Zhao Shangshu told Mrs. Zhao to be ashamed in front of everyone, and she couldn't help but get angry:
"What else do you want? You can't ask Taiwei Pan and I to tear our faces over this matter, right?..."

"If you have the heart, why didn't you see you competing with Mrs. Pan when Mrs. Pan spread something unfavorable to Sister Xian? What's the point of venting your anger on an aunt!"

Speaking of Aunt Zheng, Zhao Shangshu couldn't help but said:

"Your nurse also asked a junior to beat the board. Didn't you just swallow your anger...and even send Mrs. Zheng to Li's family to settle the matter, and now you are talking about me, it's really unreasonable!"

After saying that, Zhao Shangshu waved his sleeves, pushed the door out of the courtyard without looking back.

Mrs. Zhao's face turned red when he told him these words. Looking at the pair of children in front of her, she couldn't help clutching the corner of the quilt tightly, but she couldn't refute it...

Zhao Mengxian comforted Mrs. Zhao with tears, and exited the yard with her brother.

Walking to the door of the hanging flowers, Zhao Mengxian couldn't help reaching out and grabbing Zhao Mengping's sleeves, wanting to cry:
"Brother..."

Zhao Mengping was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly took out his handkerchief to wipe away tears with her, and coaxed her repeatedly:

"Sister Xian, don't be afraid, my elder brother is there for everything...you won't be wronged..."

Zhao Mengxian embraced Zhao Mengping's waist, buried her in front of his clothes and cried softly:

"Elder brother is not allowed to marry that Pan Yumei...and no one..."

Zhao Mengping made her laugh at her shameless appearance, patted her on the back, and said softly:
"How old are you, why do you always cry, and you are not afraid of being laughed at by others..."

Seeing Zhao Mengxian's refusal, she said helplessly:
"Don't mess around... Mom didn't return the marriage with the Pan family, how could I marry a girl from the Pan family... It's you, so it's good to hurt your reputation..."

Zhao Mengxian tightened her hands around his waist:
"Then I won't marry anyone... I will only be with my elder brother in the future, we will all live in the mansion, and no one will get married..."

Zhao Mengping only regarded her as childish, and coaxed her a few more words before making Zhao Mengxian laugh.

After Zhao Mengping told her not to go far away, looking at his tall and thin back, Zhao Mengxian suppressed her smile for an instant, and was in a daze.

Ruoyu stepped forward with a white face, and called out worriedly:
"Girl...you are already old enough to be in such a big audience, you don't dare to talk to the eldest son like this in the future..."

Before she finished speaking, Ruoyu was glared at by Zhao Mengxian, and hurriedly stopped her words.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Mengxian finally said something that terrified her:
"That day you and I heard with our own ears what mother and Nanny Gui said..."

"Since he and I are not real brothers and sisters, why can't I think... If he and I return to each other one day, then maybe... everything will be different..."

Zhao Mengxian clenched her fingertips tightly, and couldn't help but think of the look in Pan Yumei's eyes when she looked at her brother today. Such a shy look made her feel a surge of hostility.

She stroked her swollen cheeks from Pan Yumei's slap, her eyes filled with gloom.
