Glory in Troubled Times: The Empress' Growth Path

Chapter 24 Moonlit Night
The breathing of the two on the bed could be faintly heard.

Calm and powerful.

His father used to have this kind of breathing, but now his father has become a cold corpse, lying quietly in the coffin.

It is hard to say what kind of thoughts those who came to condolences have.

But ever since the mob left the house, there was always a strong sense of disharmony at home.

It wasn't until his favorite book disappeared that he realized that these people were like vultures who smelled rotten flesh. They hovered over the Zhao Mansion, watching who would fall next.

Boss Zhao's hand holding the knife kept trembling. In the past two days, all kinds of thoughts kept popping up in his mind and heart. He always felt that his father was still there, but that nasty Zhao Ting'an was always by his side. Beside the father who went out.

Why not my two brothers?

The two people who approached the bed on tiptoe, their own heartbeats almost surpassed the two who were sleeping dead in front of them.

"From today onwards, we are not allowed to call him 'Father', but to call him 'Changshi Zhao'."

"But mother!"

"There are not so many but, we still have to go back."

I couldn't see my mother's face clearly, her shoulders kept shrugging, and she held a handkerchief to cover her side face, leaving me standing in front of the house blankly.

Everything was caused by Zhao Tingan.

Without him, my father would not die, my mother would not cry, and my books would not be lost.

As he continued to move forward, his feet seemed to have tripped over something, and the chairs in the room made a loud mopping sound.

Hua Qiong suddenly opened his eyes, and saw a figure flickering in front of him, and the weapon in his hand was running towards them with a cold light.

"Ting An be careful!"

Zhao Ting'an is obviously not fully awake yet.

With the help of the moonlight, Hua Qiong could barely see the wrist of the visitor. The moment the weapon in his hand was lowered, Hua Qiong instinctively pressed his hands against his wrist, causing his strength to slant to one side.

Zhao Tingan came to his senses at this moment, shocked, kicked the knife off his hand, and strangled the visitor's neck with his backhand.

The visitor wanted to break free, and the two began to fight on the ground, Hua Qiong hurried down to light a lamp, so as to help.

Boss Zhao saw that the situation was not good and wanted to run away, but Zhao Tingan grabbed his feet and fell to the ground.

The lamp was on now too.

Boss Zhao was also pushed to the ground by Zhao Tingan.

"It's actually you!"

The two tied Boss Zhao tightly. Boss Zhao turned his head and raised his chin, unwilling to see the two of them.

Hua Qiong was furious, and kicked Boss Zhao's knee. Boss Zhao kept breathing in pain, and cursed at Zhao Ting'an.

"You ungrateful villain, you killed my father, and you want to leave when you find your next home, bah! Let me tell you, it's not that easy! Don't think we let you go!"

No matter what harsh words Boss Zhao said, Hua Qiong just kept walking around him.

Boss Zhao was nervous for a while.

"Ting'an, how will the government judge you for slandering others innocently?"

"Thirty slaps, three months of hard labor."

"Break into and kill people, how will the government judge them?"

"The car is broken, and the family property is confiscated."

When Boss Zhao heard the next few words, his emotions collapsed instantly. Hua Qiong grabbed a handful of soil and stuffed it into Boss Zhao's mouth.

"Your father was killed by robbers, it has nothing to do with Zhao Ting'an."

"You can't find revenge on the robbers, so you come to find Zhao Ting'an. It's not happy."

"Originally, I didn't want to care about you because of Master Zhao's face, but you have repeatedly pushed your nose in the face."

"Now he even wants his life."

Boss Zhao turned his head away, not daring to look at Hua Qiong, but the ups and downs of his chest told Hua Qiong that he refused to accept it!

Hua Qiong thought about it, the Zhao family is still detaining Ting'an's documents, if Ah Wu and Ah Liu didn't say anything, they would have lost a lot if they left that day, and now they don't know if Zhao Ting'an has been detaining anything else.

Now with Boss Zhao, things are much easier to handle.

As soon as I fell asleep, someone came to deliver a pillow.

"Ting An, come with me to the Zhao Mansion now."

Zhao Ting'an looked at the night where he couldn't see his fingers, and was full of suspicion. He didn't know what Hua Qiong was paying attention to, but since she wanted to do it, she must do it.

"Today, I will definitely ask Mrs. Zhao to hand over your documents."

The two tidied up briefly, held a torch, and headed to the Zhao Mansion.

Mrs. Zhao was heartbroken, and after a long time in the mansion, she finally fell asleep, and she slept soundly. Not long after, she heard Wang Ya say that someone was asking to see her, and it seemed to be about the young master.

Mrs. Zhao rubbed the corners of her eyes, it was so late, why did someone come looking for her eldest son?

"Who's looking for it?"

"I do not recognize."

Mrs. Zhao was worried about what would happen to her son, so she braced herself, endured exhaustion, put on a coat, and let someone from Wang Ya lightly come in.

I saw that it was the female lord during the day.

Mrs. Zhao looked Hua Qiong up and down a few times, and said dissatisfiedly: "You already asked me to ask for Zhao Ting'an, what are you doing now in the middle of the night?"

Hua Qiong took out a knife from behind, the blade was sharp and gleamed coldly.

Madam Zhao looked around, startled in her heart, "You, what are you going to do?"

Hua Qiong threw the knife on the ground and said with a sneer, "Madam Zhao, you and I have no grievances, why did you let your eldest son come over in the middle of the night and kill me?"

Mrs. Zhao was in a daze. When did she do something outrageous? Now the Zhao family is making a mess of porridge, and no one pays attention to what the two sons of the Zhao family are doing.

"My lord, stop talking nonsense!"

Hua Qiong smiled, "Right now Mr. Zhao is tied up at my place, and there is no certificate for certification. I will send him to the government early tomorrow morning."

"How dare you! My eldest son is obviously at home, when will I run to your place?"

Hua Qiong glanced at the sullen Mrs. Zhao, and said in dissatisfaction: "Could it be that Ting An and I couldn't tie him up? According to the size of the eldest son, even if he can't escape, it will not be easy for us to restrain him. As long as we meet tomorrow Officer, the truth will come to light naturally."

Mrs. Zhao looked at Hua Qiong's appearance, she didn't seem to be lying, she asked the matter carefully, and it turned out that it was really her eldest son who wanted to hurt someone with a knife.

She immediately changed her attitude, and began to speak kindly to Hua Qiong, the stern look just now seemed to have never happened before.

Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.

"What does the Mistress want?"

"I will take away all the documents and contracts of Zhao Tingan, and he will never appear in front of the Zhao family again."

"Even if he is innocent, Mr. Zhao's death is not entirely due to him. He has been in business all these years to support his family and has done a lot of business."

"Mrs. Zhao, I'm not in the mood to listen to what you said. Quickly call out Zhao Ting'an's paperwork and contract. We can't see each other or worry about each other."

"How can I trust you? Who are you from Zhao Ting'an?"

Hua Qiong was momentarily at a loss for words, but the key was that Mrs. Zhao's second question stopped her.

What kind of capacity do I use to help Zhao Ting'an now, and ask for his paperwork contract.

"friend."

Madam Zhao laughed out loud, "It's ridiculous, a precious lord would actually be friends with an ordinary attendant."

"Compared to my relationship with Zhao Ting'an, madam, you should be more worried about the safety of Mr. Zhao."

Madam Zhao's complexion changed, she went down to get the pen and ink, and wrote the document for the Lord's provisional servant, and asked Hua Qiong to sign it, otherwise she would not hand over Zhao Tingan's document.

Now I don't have the time to bet on my child's safety, even if what Hua Qiong said is a lie, Mrs. Zhao will let her take Zhao Tingan away.
