Chapter 20;(1/2)
Xu Zhao arrives in person
"Ma'am, do you have any good ideas?"
He himself had nothing to do about the matter.
I just want to delay it again and again. If it doesn't work, I can just find a decent family, and then use my connections to let him go.
However, when his wife mentioned it, he wanted to know if she had any good countermeasures.
"There is no good strategy, but..."
Speaking of this, Gao's face showed a trace of cruelty.
Seeing this, Xu Zhao frowned.
"Madam, you must not do this. The Lu family is not someone to be trifled with."
He has no feelings for this daughter at all, and it can be seen from his actions ten years ago.
Is a daughter as important as his career?
"Master, if you continue to suffer chaos, what is so great about the Lu family?"
"But it's just a businessman, so what if he has some connections? Isn't it better than my mother's family?"
"The more fearful they are, the more they will push for their advantage. Don't you think you can get away with it once and for all?"
Xu Zhao fell silent.
As his position has risen over the years, he has become increasingly uneasy and worried that one day he will fall into the dust.
The growth of the Lu family has made him feel like a thorn in his back, so much so that when facing the Lu family in recent years, he has been somewhat defensive.
At this time, the lady's words gave him a wake-up call.
Indecisiveness leads to disaster.
He repeated a few words in his heart, and then his eyes narrowed.
It's really good to get it done once and for all.
"What do you think, ma'am?"
"She is about to get her haircut. I am going to take care of it for her. I will go to Zhuangzi in person and take her back to my hometown."
Hearing this, Xu Zhao frowned, why did he still need to give Cao Wan a haircut?
Sensing his doubts, Gao lowered his voice and whispered in Xu Zhao's ear.
Xu Zhao showed a look of surprise.
"Would it be inappropriate if something happened to her at home? How about letting her stay at the village and we secretly arrange for someone to come there?"
"no."
Gao quickly rejected it.
If it could be solved at the village, would she still go to such trouble to get her back to the house?
It was just because I couldn't do anything outside that I got it back.
"I made arrangements twice before, but..."
She told the results of both times.
"Blood Soul Tower! This is the Lu Family."
Xu Zhao also took a deep breath and instantly understood why Madam had such a plan.
"Okay, I'll go there in person after tomorrow morning."
"It's just that after she comes back, my wife will have to worry a lot. My husband doesn't want to get into big trouble."
Gao Shi smiled brightly.
"Don't worry, sir, I have the final say on the Xu family's back house."
"Phew, finally gone."
"I'm so exhausted."
At the farm, Lu Yaoyao saw off the eldest prince and Queen Jin, and immediately slumped down on a chair when he returned to the yard.
Seeing her like this, Qiu Yu nodded with deep understanding.
The imperial power is supreme, the hierarchy is strong, and there are too many etiquettes.
It was really unbearable for her to be a person who came from an open society.
But fortunately, I watched a lot of palace fighting dramas in my previous life, so I can figure it out a little bit.
"By the way, what's going on with the Xu family?"
Nanny Li was killed in her village. That woman of the Gao family would definitely not just let it go.
No one came all afternoon, which is very unusual.
"Slave, go and ask."
After a while Qiu Yu ran back.
"There is no movement at the Xu family."
"This is not normal."
How could there be no movement? How could Gao, a vicious woman who always seeks revenge, endure such a tone?
"Maybe it's because of the eldest prince and Prince Jin."
Lu Yaoyao raised his head and looked at Qiu Yu, and then he showed a look of surprise.
Yes, King Jin and the eldest prince both said just now that they met the fleeing Xu family on the way.
They should have been warned.
Mrs. Gao must also know that the two of them are in the village. Even if they arrange for someone to come over, it will be of little use. They might face the eldest prince again.
"Previous investigations said that Mr. Gao was arrogant and domineering, but now it seems that this is nothing more than that."
In these years on the farm, she has attracted a lot of attention to the Xu family and the Gao family.
Every time the feedback was about how arrogant and domineering Mrs. Gao was, she even refused to give face to some members of the royal family.
As a result, she was extremely afraid of Mr. Gao, and she never dared to take any action.
She never thought that what Gao had shown in the recent games was so different from what she had imagined.
"There's nothing you can do about it. People who live in the capital have great families and great fortunes, so they will naturally be constrained by their worries."
"Hey, I don't see how you can say such reasonable things."
Lu Yaoyao looked at Qiu Yu with a smile.
"That's right, I have been following the young lady for so long, so I must make some progress, right?"
What Qiu Yu said was indeed accurate.
It directly points out the fundamental reason why Gao's actual situation is so different from the investigation results.
In the capital, both dignitaries and clan members were deeply influenced by the court.
Gao's elder brother, Gao Yanming, had too much energy in the court.
Looking at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face will naturally reveal Gao's arrogance and domineering attitude.
So what if she is ruthless? When she encounters someone who doesn't give her face, her little tricks are really not enough.
The next day, Lu Yaoyao had just had breakfast.
I heard Qiu Yu report that Xu Zhao was coming.
"real?"
Lu Yaoyao was surprised. She had thought yesterday that the Gao family would not stop here and would arrange for someone to come over again.
She even said that she would come by herself, but she never thought that Xu Zhao would come in person.
"Bring him in."
Qiu Yu nodded and exited.
After a while, Xu Zhao, still wearing official uniform, walked in from the outside with a stern face.
"As a child, when your father comes, you don't say anything about going out to greet him."
"Is this your etiquette?"
Listening to these words of questioning and accusation, Lu Yaoyao looked calm and indifferent.
“It’s the father’s fault if he doesn’t teach him.”
"Master Xu really came from the imperial examination?"
Irony, who doesn’t know it?
