Chapter 208 No Need to Be Careful
When Zhao Fangyu and Meng Yangjiang finished their statements and compared their confessions, they looked back and found that the silk handkerchief that was blocking Meng Yunxiang's mouth was already soaked with blood.
He died with his eyes open, and they were still staring at Zhao Fangyu.
Zhou Qinghe took a few steps forward and stood beside Zhao Fangyu to shield Meng Yunxiang's eyes for her. Zhao Minshan watched everything in silence. He only saw Zhou Qinghe make a gesture and the dead Meng Yunxiang was dragged out.
The numbing feeling that started from the top of my head gradually dissipated.
Zhou Qinghe saw Meng Yangjiang off, and the pitch-black carriage started again, creaking as it headed out of the city.
Zhao Zhihuai took Mei Xunyin away. Before leaving, Mei Xunyin nodded slightly to Zhao Fangyu.
When most of the people had left, Zhou Qinghe also came back.
Zhao Minshan sat back in the main seat with a slightly lonely look on his face, and said in a sad tone, "You killed your sister, you can't just leave her body exposed in the wilderness, find a chance to let her go home."
Zhao Fangyu sat next to Zhao Fangjin, still with a solemn expression: "The third daughter of the Zhao family died suddenly due to illness. If father wants her to die without a complete body and be burned into ashes and sent to the ancestral tomb, I will naturally have no objection."
Zhao Minshan was choked by Zhao Fangyu, and the words he wanted to say were instantly stuck in his throat.
"Death is the greatest thing. She is still your sister after all."
Not to mention Zhao Fangyu, even Zhao Fangjin was so angry that he laughed.
Just as Zhao Fangyu was about to speak, he was held by the wrist by Zhao Fangyu: "I didn't kill anyone, but they wanted to kill me. Father, do you want me to be killed because she is my sister?"
This statement was a bit of a misunderstanding of Zhao Minshan's meaning, but it wasn't actually far off. Zhao Minshan had been blocked twice in a row, and his expression looked very ugly at this moment.
The eldest lady called Mother Cui and asked her to trim the candles in the room to make it brighter.
"We are all family now, so it's better to talk about everything at once to avoid any resentment in the future."
The eldest lady only said this, and Zhao Minshan suddenly became furious and smashed a tea bowl for no apparent reason: "Look at how well you have taught your daughter! She dares to talk back to her husband like this after just getting married! This is the family education of your Li family!"
The eldest lady looked at Zhao Minshan calmly. Zhao Minshan was arrogant at first, as if he had finally picked a soft persimmon that he could squeeze at will, but how could the eldest lady be such a weak person?
Her eyes were as sharp as swords, which defeated Zhao Minshan's arrogance step by step, and he finally stopped.
"In my Li family, the family education is that if a parent fails to distinguish right from wrong and makes a serious mistake, once the disaster affects the whole family, anyone can kill him."
"It was you who favored Fanglan and Fangyun and raised them to have such thoughts. It was you who valued Yu'er's appearance and wanted to use her to gain a future! It was you who taught your daughters to be so fussy and you had to teach them to flatter the powerful and bully the weak, which led to them having evil intentions at a young age!"
"Fang Wei fell in love with Jin Er's husband, Fang Lan poisoned two people, Fang Yun was stupid and couldn't even learn the rules! And those children you raised outside, the children born to prostitutes and pimps, I don't even want to say anything about you!"
"How big is your family fortune that you want to divide it among so many descendants? You only care about giving birth but not educating them. Are you waiting for God to be kind to you and let you give birth to a child with outstanding talent? So that you can fulfill your dream of having power over the government and the country for the rest of your life!"
The eldest lady would have kept silent if she had, but when she did, she made a stunning statement by directly telling all the good things Zhao Minshan had done over the years, and in front of her son-in-law, she completely stripped away the last bit of his inner qualities.
The older Zhao Minshan gets, the more confused he becomes. The eldest lady knows why he is so worried about Zhao Fangyu's targeting of Zhao Fanglan, and why he has been trying to stop Zhao Fangyu from taking revenge.
He was afraid that one day, Zhao Fangyu would take revenge on him just like he did on Zhao Fanglan!
Zhao Minshan blushed, and Zhao Fangyu didn't know whether he was more angry or embarrassed.
"I am their father! I gave birth to them and raised them. People are kind-hearted. Don't you have any bias? You favor Fang Jin and Fang Yu, so what if I favor the others?!"
"She is so young, yet she is so vindictive. What will happen if she holds power one day?"
The generous man sneered: "You did say something from your heart."
"You are not biased towards Fang Lan, you are obviously afraid that Fang Yu will take revenge on you in the future!"
"You want to use your father's status to discipline her, teach her not to seek revenge, not to be jealous, and that a harmonious family is the key to success... If you had been more fair and not raised her to have such thoughts, how could Aunt Qian die! And how could Yu'er lose her mother at such a young age!"
"Although there are few girls in my Li family, all the girls raised in each generation are presentable ladies! It's nothing like your family, where good girls are treated like dogs and trained. A father wants to send beautiful girls away to exchange for their future every day!"
Zhao Minshan was so angry that he raised his hand to slap her, but Mother Cui rushed over to block it!
Zhou Qinghe grabbed Zhao Minshan's hand from behind and said in a cold voice: "It is not gentlemanly to attack women and children."
Zhao Fangyu and Zhao Fangjin also hurriedly walked to the eldest lady's side, staring at Zhao Minshan with scorching eyes, especially Zhao Fangjin, whose eyes were so fierce that he wished he could pierce Zhao Minshan's heart with thousands of arrows!
Zhou Qinghe half pulled and half dragged Zhao Minshan out, leaving behind the tearful Mother Cui and the eldest lady with eyes full of relief in the room.
Zhao Fangyu and Zhao Fangjin had not rested in Qingping Courtyard for a long time, so today they simply slept together in Qingping Courtyard.
Zhao Fangyu quietly called Chunshao over and asked her to get clothes from her carriage. She also took out a small purse hidden in the secret compartment.
After everyone had washed up, Zhao Fangyu sent Mother Cui to rest, leaving Chunshao the only one guarding outside the door.
The mother, her two daughters, were all wearing thin pajamas. Zhao Fangyu didn't like to wear her hair up when she slept, and she was too lazy to even braid it, so she just tied it into a loose ponytail.
Zhao Fangjin was lying on the inside, hugging the eldest lady's arm with a look of fear on his face: "Mother is too impulsive. What will happen in the future if we are torn apart like this?"
Zhao Fangjin thought much more carefully than when she was a child. She was worried that if the eldest lady exposed Zhao Minshan in front of Zhou Qinghe, he would bear a grudge and then do something irreparable.
Zhao Fangyu had the same idea: "I know that mother is doing this for my own good and wants to explain the cause and effect of the murder for me, but I don't want mother to fall into danger because of me."
"Father is not a good man. If one day, my sister and I are not around, what will he do if he doesn't care about the consequences? He has no future anyway, but mother does."
The eldest lady's anger today seemed inexplicable, as if she was venting her anger after being oppressed for many years. In fact, she was just trying to save some face for Zhao Fangyu in front of Zhou Qinghe.
The eldest lady didn't know the inside story of her marriage with Zhou Qinghe, and was afraid that Zhou Qinghe would have bad thoughts about her because of Zhao Fangyu's murder, so she took care of things for her in such a subtle way.
Zhao Fangyu slowly rubbed the eldest lady's shoulder, and said in a gentle tone as when he was a child: "Mother, he and I are not an ordinary couple."
"How can a descendant of the Heavenly Family be pure and harmless?"
"Mother, please don't worry about me. I will walk my own path."
