The strongest fire master

Chapter 12 The Zuko Family

Ao Zai still got the news that Kahn came to the house as a guest - it was the maid who told him.

".I told you to stay away from that lowly commoner, but you dared to take him to the palace behind my back. Don't you think you're not enough to embarrass our royal family?!"

At the dinner table, Ao Zai scolded Zu Kou severely, but Zu Kou lowered his head and said nothing.

Seeing Zuko's resignation, he felt bored again, and turned to Ailuo:
"It's the same with that guy Ai Luo. He actually brought that kind of person into the palace. Could it be that his son just died and lost his mind?"

He bowed his head and remained silent when Ao Zai abused him before, but when he heard his slander against Kahn and Ai Luo, even though he was afraid in his heart, Zuko couldn't help but refute:
"Kane is not lowly, and Uncle Ai Luo is not insane, they are all very good people"

boom!
"Shut up! You still dare to refute me?!"

Ao Zai slammed his fist on the table, his voice suddenly rose, and he said ruthlessly:
"How dare you? With your barren little head? With your embarrassing fire skills?! Your weak and incompetent personality doesn't even look like my own son! You..."

"enough!"

Er Shu slapped the chopsticks in her hand on the table and scolded, "How can you say such exaggerated words!"

"Excessive? Why do you say that?"

Facing Er Shu's reprimand, Ao Zai seemed to lose all anger at once, as if he was a different person, and responded in a rather relaxed tone:
"I'm just educating him, letting him understand the basic concepts of right and wrong. If he continues like this, I'm very worried about him."

"There's nothing to worry about. I think Zuko is fine."

Er Shu interrupted Ao Zai's speech with a tough attitude.

"Yeah, you raised a good child"

Finally, a sinister smile appeared on Aozai's face. If Kahn was present, he would be able to understand who Azura learned to manage his expressions from.

He deliberately slowed down his speech, and looked at Ershu meaningfully:

"The character is just like you, kind and gentle. Everything is like you, except not like me"

Without waiting for Er Shu to say anything more, Ao Zai waved his hand, looked at Zu Kou, and said in a disgusted tone:

"Anyway, next time I don't want to hear about that lowly brat again, or—"

"You'll never hear from him again."

Hearing this, Zu Kou opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't make a sound, and an indescribable sense of powerlessness came over his face.

Azura, who was sitting at the side, dangled her feet, looking like she had nothing to do with herself, watching everything that happened at the dinner table as if watching the excitement.

But after hearing the ban issued by Ao Zai, she frowned unrecognizably, and immediately said with a playful smile:

"Wait a minute, father."

Several people were attracted by her voice and looked over together.

Facing the solemn atmosphere and the stiff situation, Azura turned a blind eye and said to Ao Zai with a smile:
"I also met Zuzu's friend today, and I think that guy is quite interesting."

If Zuko disobeyed Ao Zai's order on the spot, I'm afraid there will be no good end, but facing Azura, Ao Zai was unusually amiable, and said with great interest:

"Oh yeah? Interesting, what a rare comment. Does my daughter have any thoughts?"

"Zuzu wants to make friends, isn't it great, why stop him?"

Azura showed the same smile as Ao Jae:

"I also want to have a 'good time' with him. By the way, let us brothers and sisters be able to 'good' communicate and exchange feelings like today, that would be great!"

"Ha ha!"

Aozai's words made Aozai laugh out in relief, so he said bluntly:
"Since this is the case, of course there is no problem. I hope you can 'entertain' him well, and don't lose the etiquette of the royal family."

At this time, he didn't mention anything like the identity of the royal family at all.

Ao Zai smiled on his face, but the smile in his heart was even more distorted and sinister.

Azura's performance made him very satisfied. This is his child, smart, powerful, cruel, and decisive, who perfectly inherited everything from him.

Listening to the conversation between Aozai and Azura, Zuko bit his lower lip hard, and clenched his hands under the table, trembling uncontrollably because of too much force.

At this time, a pair of gentle hands wrapped his fist, Zu Kou looked sideways, Er Shu looked at him worriedly, and shook his head.

The rest of the dinner time passed in silence.

After dinner, Azura left with Ao Zai, and behind Ao Zai, Azura walked like a normal lively little girl.

Suddenly, she said coquettishly to Ao Zai:

"Father, I'm getting tired of the maid who serves me now, please change me!"

Ao Zai smiled kindly:
"Of course, who do you want to replace?"

"Um"

Azura pinched her chin and thought for a while, before deciding:

"How about Xiaotao?"

"of course can."

Ao Zai nodded indifferently.

Xiaotao is the name of the maid who reported the situation to him today.

"Thank you, father, then I will go back to the house!"

Having achieved his goal, Azura did not continue to follow Ao Zai, and turned and left in a happy mood.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she reached the corner, Zuko suddenly appeared and stopped her.

Zuko's sudden appearance startled her, and after Azura realized it, she immediately said in disgust:

"Don't you have eyes on your butt so you can't see the way?"

Zuko's eyes were red, obviously he had cried.

He said:
"Thank you for not letting father drive Kahn away, but I will not allow you to bully Kahn."

"But if you really want to bully him, I will never forgive you!"

Zuko tried his best to look fierce, but it looked a little funny.

Such a threat seemed so weak to Azura, she rolled her eyes in disdain, and walked directly past Zuko:
"boring."

But unexpectedly, Zuko grabbed her and said firmly:
"I was serious!"

Azura still disdains, jokingly said:
"Really? Then I look forward to your performance."

Zuko didn't refute her, and left without saying a word after finishing speaking.

Patting the position of the clothes caught by Zuko in disgust, Azura sneered when he saw the direction Zuko left:
"idiot."

Then he turned and left.

"It's time to see my new maid, let me think about how to give her a 'surprise', hehehe"

Ershu watched the two leaving from a distance, with a complicated expression on her face, she opened her mouth, but was unable to utter a single word, and in the end she could only let out a deep sigh, and left as well.

From the very beginning, this family was made up of bondage, anger, desire, ambition and other mistakes. Now, no matter what, they are out of control and can only drift away on such a twisted road until they step into the An abyss of horror unimaginable and irreversible.

but
Er Shu inexplicably recalled the scene she saw today, the scene where Zuko, Azura, and Kahn lived in harmony.

Kahn not only trusted Zuko very much in him, but even Azura seemed to have a different attitude towards him. Thinking of this, a little hope appeared in Ershu's eyes.

Although she was very strict with Azura, as a mother, how could she not love her child?
But she was too deeply influenced by Ao Zai, and she was already powerless.

I don't know if the arrival of this young man can bring some different changes to Azura.
-
"Ah!"

Kahn sneezed suddenly, a little unclear, so, "Isn't it a cold?"

After cleaning the dishes, he walked across the yard and glanced at the sky inadvertently.

Today is cloudy and windy, and it seems that the sun cannot be seen.From time to time, there was a muffled thunder among the clouds, heralding the coming storm.

He casually joked:
"It's windy and rainy, the moon is dark and the wind is high, it's really a murderous night."
