Glory in Troubled Times: The Empress' Growth Path

Chapter 25 Documents
Hua Qiong looked at the paperwork on the table, and felt a little suspicious in her heart. Is it enough to just sign this tentative paperwork?

Don't let her dig another hole.

"Ma'am, don't play tricks, Mr. Zhao's neck is very tender."

Mrs. Zhao mocked: "I'm not some villain. You threatened me with my child's life. I'll do whatever you say. I can still lie to you."

Zhao Ting'an was going to follow, but Hua Qiong was worried that Boss Zhao would run away, so she asked him to watch Boss Zhao and come to Zhao's mansion by herself.

If he hears this, even the best temper will jump three feet high in place.

"Ma'am is really good at talking. Don't pursue Boss Zhao sneaking into my house with a knife in the middle of the night to hurt people, but pursue the fact that I tied him up."

"Who are you? The government office? Or a member of an official's family? What right do you have to kidnap my son?"

Hua Qiong took a deep breath, wondering if it was because of the pain in the lungs caused by the freezing air in winter, or because she was mad at Mrs. Zhao.

At least I now know why the second son of the Zhao family was brought up to look like this. He is unreasonable and only picks what is beneficial to him.

"I'm neither a government official nor a member of any official's clan. It's just that you are really hateful. It's just that I didn't want to pursue it for the sake of Ting An and Master Zhao."

"but!"

Hua Qiong thought about it, now Madam Zhao is angry because she tied up her son. Seeing her posture, even if her son really killed someone, she would not feel sorry for the injured person.

Then the conversation changed.

"However, I don't have much patience. After all, it's so cold. If I go back later, your beloved son will suffer a little bit of cold. If you are grinding and making trouble with me, then I'm sorry , Young Master Zhao will be even more unhappy."

Inside the thatched hut, Boss Zhao was tightly tied up and thrown on the ground, with a handful of soil that Zhao Tingan had just stuffed in his mouth. He was cold and hungry, and he couldn't scream even if he wanted to.

Qiong'er's method is really good, much better than stuffing a cloth ball in his mouth, let's stuff him with more soil in the future.

Mrs. Zhao trembled all over after hearing this, and looked at Hua Qiong as if she was going to eat her.

"Madam, please bring the candle over. I want to be careful and read the documents slowly."

"you!"

"The main thing is that I'm not in a good mood at the moment, so I have to make up for it. Your son hurt us, and you yelled at me to make him refuse to suffer at all. Then I have to make you all feel bad."

"you you you!"

"Ma'am, please hold the candle higher. I have bad eyesight and can't see."

Hua Qiong carefully looked at the documents presented, one was about Zhao Tingan's body deed, which was similar to the current ID card; There are three documents in total.

Mrs. Zhao really hates Zhao Ting'an!

"If I don't sign the document for this tentative permanent servant, will I not be able to take him away?"

"Yes, if you don't sign him, if any lord takes a fancy to him in the future, and you don't have evidence to sign him first, the government will deny it."

Mrs. Zhao said reluctantly, Hua Qiong did not hesitate any longer, and signed her name on the tentative document.

After taking the person away first, it's easy to talk about anything later.

Mrs. Zhao watched Hua Qiong sign, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now she is left with this careless old man. If the person in front of her is really asked to report to the official, I am afraid that he will never return.

Hua Qiong thought in his heart, if he really left like this, it would be too cheap for the Zhao family, but if he didn't go back soon, something might happen, after all, Ting An's strength was not as strong as that of Boss Zhao.

Inside the thatched hut, Zhao Tingan saw Boss Zhao spit out the soil from his mouth, so he immediately got up and grabbed another handful from the ground and stuffed it in.

"Eat dirt, eat dirt, eat dirt, let you bully me before! Let you hurt people with knives!"

In the Zhao mansion, Mrs. Zhao stared at Hua Qiong closely. Now that the documents have been signed, other documents have been given as well, so she asked carefully about her background.

"When did you let my boss go?"

"Madam, please prepare the horses and chariots yourself. I want to leave the Zhao Mansion myself. As for Mr. Zhao..."

Hua Qiong really didn't think about it well, but it didn't prevent her from keeping her secret and made Mrs. Zhao a little more worried.

"What are you going to do with my son?"

Hua Qiong was heartbroken, with a stern look on her face, she stood up and stared at Mrs. Zhao, and Mrs. Zhao stepped back gradually.

"Right now, there are countless people watching inside and outside the Zhao mansion. If something happens to Boss Zhao again, whether your son can come back fully depends on how fast you prepare the horses and chariots! Put the horses and chariots at the side door of the mansion. I have limited patience."

Mrs. Zhao looked at Hua Qiong, feeling very nervous, she was going for real.

"Don't disturb others!"

Hua Qiong knew that Granny Wang was in charge of the Zhao residence's backyard, and she was familiar with the Zhao residence's chariots and horses the most. She was born as a hunter, and her movements were nimble. She is more trusting.

Not long after, the sound of horseshoes sounded outside the side door of the Zhao residence.

This Mrs. Zhao is really fast.

Hua Qiong stuffed the documents on the table into his arms, quickly ran to the side door, and drove away in his chariot.

Mrs. Zhao ran to the corner room where the servant was, and patted it vigorously. After a while, a candle was lit in the room, and Ah Wu opened the door sleepily.

"What's the matter, ma'am?"

In the middle of the night, people can't sleep.

Mrs. Zhao hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "It's nothing serious, you and Ah Liu go to the house of the mistress where Zhao Tingan is, and bring the young master back."

"Then where is the house of the empress?"

Mrs. Zhao was taken aback, she didn't know where Hua Qiong's house was, "Please trouble Brother Ah Wu to pack up and follow the carriage."

"Carriage? How can this man run as fast on two legs as on four legs? Besides, it's the middle of the night, the eldest son is probably still asleep, Madam, wait until dawn to pick up the eldest young master."

Mrs. Zhao chatted with Ah Wu for a long time before he reluctantly put on his clothes and went out. After walking a few steps outside the mansion, he found a thatched stack and fell asleep inside.

Hua Qiong, who was driving the chariot and horse, tied up the chariot and horse and parked it outside the door, and rushed into the house to look for Zhao Ting'an.

"Ting An, let's set off now."

"Now?"

Hua Qiong nodded, and after packing up her things, she pulled Zhao Ting'an and walked out. Boss Zhao kept struggling behind her, whining.

"By the way, I almost forgot about you."

The two looked at each other and smiled, each grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, and stuffed it into Boss Zhao's mouth, only to see Boss Zhao retching constantly, tears streaming down his face.

Then he took away all the broken silver and jade pendants on his body, Hua Qiong weighed Boss Zhao's purse, and spat at him.

"Just this little mental damage fee, it's really cheap for you kid."

The two drove their chariots and horses towards Baizhen again.

Mrs. Zhao didn't see Ah Wu coming back for a long time, and walked around the house anxiously.

Early the next morning, Ah Wu found Boss Zhao in a certain thatched hut. He was in a mess, with feces and urine mixed in his crotch, and his mouth was dirty and covered with gray things.

It didn't take long for the rumor that Boss Zhao was so hungry that he ate his own excrement and urine spread in the village.
