Yun Miaomiao asked Xiao Zhuo and Magistrate Zhao to hide, and she and Yun Su stood alone outside the mourning hall, waiting for those people to come in.
Soon a large group of people came in from outside. The leader of them, Yun Miaomiao, happened to know them.
He is Mrs. Zhao's younger brother, the Xie Linhai they mentioned just now.
Apart from that, she didn't know anyone else.
Xie Linhai walked in with a dark face and glanced at Yun Miaomiao and his sister who were standing aside. He thought they were servants and didn't take it to heart. Instead, he focused his eyes on the housekeeper beside him, "Why didn't I see you?
Madam and young master?"
Because County Magistrate Zhao blocked the news promptly, people outside were completely unaware of what happened inside the Zhao Mansion, so they did not yet know that Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Zeqing were dead.
The butler's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he put on a sad expression, "Uncle, you came too late, madam and young master..."
The housekeeper suddenly became excited and began to cry uncontrollably. Xie Linhai had a bad feeling when he saw this.
"what happened?"
The butler pointed to the coffin behind him, "Since you left last time, the young master and his wife had a big quarrel. The wife was so angry that she vomited blood and passed away not long after. The young master couldn't bear it and was so angry that he died of his own death.
My mother’s blow also went with me.”
"what? What?"
Now, not only Xie Linhai himself was shocked, but also the people who accompanied him to make trouble. How come there was no one left in the Zhao family in the blink of an eye?
"How could something like this happen? Didn't you stop your young master?"
Xie Linhai frowned. He and Zhao Zeqing had clearly discussed it before and asked Mrs. Zhao to agree to stand on his side. The entire Zhao family would be the backing of the new crown prince in the future, but now that both of them are dead, what is there to talk about?
Backing argument.
While everyone was not paying attention, Yun Miaomiao began to slowly observe everyone's expressions after the housekeeper told the news about the death of Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Zeqing. One of them looked different from the others.
There was a bit more happiness on his face.
Xie Linhai made a mistake, and now there is no one in the entire Zhao family, so what's the use of having an empty shell?
He gritted his teeth secretly, thinking that he would commit suicide at this point when he could not live up to his expectations. He was really a useless waste.
Xie Linhai's disgusted expression happened to fall into Yun Miaomiao's eyes, and Yun Miaomiao's eyes darkened.
His biological sister passed away. As a biological brother, there was no sad expression on his face at all. He looked indifferent, as if the deceased was a stranger who had no relationship with him at all.
But soon, Xie Linhai thought of another benefit. Although Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Zeqing died, all the Zhao family's properties are still there.
There are only a few members of the Zhao clan, and most of them have not severed contact with County Magistrate Zhao, so this money has nothing to do with them, so his younger brother will take over this huge family business.
, he believed that no one would have any objections.
Thinking of this, Xie Linhai was still upset about the news that Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Zeqing had committed suicide, but now he finally regained his smile.
"Since your wife and young master are so unfortunate, then you are the only one who can take charge of the Zhao family. I am your wife's biological brother and your young master's biological uncle. So the Zhao family has no master, so I will do whatever it takes.
Take over, you guys."
This man was so thick-skinned and so upright that even Yun Miaomiao, who was standing aside, had the illusion that this was the right thing to do.
She couldn't help but clapped her hands, "My uncle is my uncle. What he said is really hard to refute."
Facing the other party's sarcastic tone, Xie Linhai's face instantly turned ugly. He looked at the other party with a tense face, "Who are you?"
Yun Miaomiao looked at him calmly and calmly, "It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that it's not like you said that the Zhao family has no one who can call the shots, but that the Zhao family now has someone else who can call the shots.
Already."
Xie Linhai was too lazy to ask a little girl to say anything about the head of the family, but he was certain that he had never seen this woman in the Zhao family before.
He took a fancy to Butler Zhao on the side and seemed to regard himself as the master of the Zhao family.
"Steward Zhao, take this irrelevant person away. My sister already had no peace during her lifetime. Do you still want her to have no peace after her death?"
Butler Zhao glanced at Yun Miaomiao but made no move.
On the other hand, the people who came with him saw that his expression was wrong and began to persuade him, "Mr. Xie, I think we can just forget about this matter. This Magistrate Zhao and Mrs. Zhao's family just left not long ago, and we are all in their mourning hall now."
It's not good to make trouble like this before. It's enough to persuade people to leave, but there's no need to drive them out."
Xie Linhai also knew that now that things were frozen, everyone's faces would look ugly. His intention of wanting the Zhao family's property was already obvious, and he still needed to do a good job on the surface.
"Since Mr. Liu has already asked for mercy, I won't argue with you, a maid who has no rules."
It turned out that she thought of herself as a maid serving others. Yun Miaomiao chuckled and looked at the few people in front of her with playful eyes.
"As I said just now, it's not that the Zhao family doesn't have a head, it's because the head of the house has been replaced by someone else. That person is standing in front of you. Mr. Xie, even if you care about other people's things, you don't have to make your calculations so obvious.
Well, this plan slapped me in the face. I think if Mrs. Zhao were still alive, she would most likely be angry to death by your biological brother."
"You..." Xie Linhai's thoughts were revealed by a cheap girl, and he immediately blushed, "You damn girl, what are you talking about? Which maid I bought has the nerve to stand in front of me and make irresponsible remarks? Butler Zhao
Why don't you hurry up and push this girl down for me!"
Butler Zhao was unmoved. He looked at Xie Linhai and understood what he meant by what he just said. He saw that there was no one left in the Zhao family and wanted to monopolize the Zhao family.
He has followed County Magistrate Zhao all the way to where he is now. In the past twenty years, Mrs. Zhao and Magistrate Zhao have treated him like family. He is old, but he is not confused yet.
Butler Zhao's eyes when he looked at Xie Linhai suddenly became distant and unfamiliar, "Mr. Xie, this is the Zhao family. The head of the Zhao family hasn't spoken yet, so I won't bother you."
Butler Zhao is indeed someone who has been with County Magistrate Zhao for so many years, and his words are particularly profound.
What he meant was that this is the Zhao family's territory, and it's not your turn as a natal family member who has severed ties with his wife to point your fingers at it.
Xie Linhai was so angry that he suddenly became angry, "How dare you, a little butler, to contradict me? What kind of head of the family? Everyone in the Zhao family is dead, where can you get the head of the family?"
His eyes suddenly became dark, "Could it be that you think that Magistrate Zhao and his family are dead, and you, a little butler, want to monopolize the Zhao family's properties? Are you worthy? Just a cheap slave, hum.
…”
What Xie Linhai said was extremely unpleasant. Even Yun Miaomiao, an outsider, felt uncomfortable after hearing it. What's more, it was said in front of Butler Zhao.
Yun Miaomiao walked over with a cold face, stood next to Butler Zhao, and pulled Butler Zhao behind her. Her intention to protect the calf was obvious.
Butler Zhao was stunned for a moment by such an action of hers, and then his eyes turned red, feeling moved in his heart.
"I don't like hearing what Mr. Xie said. Regardless of my status, even if I am a maid, I am still a maid of the Zhao family. It is not your turn to point fingers here."
Yun Miaomiao glanced at the people on the opposite side, especially the person who looked very different just now, "Magistrate Zhao is dead. We don't know who killed him yet. The person behind it was Ruizhou City's plan."
, everyone can see that he can finally breathe a sigh of relief now, just like you said."
Yun Miaomiao emphasized the last few words particularly hard, and turned to Xie Linhai with meaningful eyes, "Do you know what you look like now in my eyes?"
