Zhao Zimo was arrested, and the Zhao family went crazy.
Mr. Zhao rushed to Lu Yi's place, talked with Lu Yi behind closed doors for an hour, and then left with a relaxed expression.
As soon as he went out, he saw Mu Siyu approaching. Thinking about what his 'son' had done, he awkwardly said hello: "Mrs. Lu, Zhao Zimo has committed such a mistake, please forgive the Zhao family.
It's my fault that because of his identity, I haven't dared to control him since he was a child. I felt that if one day he knew his identity, he would resent the Zhao family, so I let him become like this."
"You don't have to worry that I will anger the Zhao family." Mu Siyu understood the other party's worries and expressed her attitude straight to the point.
Every wrong has its owner, and every debt has its own owner. It is impossible for her to go to the Zhao family to collect debts for what Zhao Zimo committed. Even if Mr. Zhao only has interests in his mind and is too indifferent, it has nothing to do with her.
Mu Siyu walked into the study.
Lu Yi was writing something when he heard footsteps and knew it was her coming in.
Except for her, no one else dared to break in to such an important place as the study without permission.
"What did you promise to that boss Zhao? He seems very happy. Although Zhao Zimo is not his biological son, he has raised him for more than twenty years, and he can still laugh when something like this happens. Others say that businessmen value profits.
, in my opinion, it is this kind of people who have ruined the reputation of our businessmen."
"Zhao Zimo has gained a good reputation in recent years, and the Zhao family has gained a lot of credit because of his rapid development. Now when something happens to him, the Zhao family immediately withdraws and says that he is just an adopted son and is not familiar with their Zhao family. Don't do it because
His affairs have implicated the Zhao family. Since he is so worried about the safety of the Zhao family, then I can only help him and let him exchange half of the Zhao family for peace."
"Half? Can he agree?"
"Compared to the entire Zhao family being ransacked and confiscated, half of the family property was used to save the Zhao family. The stone in his heart dropped, and he was naturally happy."
"Where are Zhao Zimo's private soldiers?"
"Imprisoned." Lu Yi wrote the last stroke, blew the ink on the paper, folded it and put it in the envelope, "Here comes..."
A subordinate walked in from outside.
"Give the letter to Ambassador Liu Jiedu."
"yes."
Mu Siyu listened to Lu Yi's explanation of what had happened in the past few days, and also knew that Fan Yuanxi and Liu Jiedushi and a large number of officers and soldiers had controlled the private soldiers, so they did not cause a riot.
"What are you going to do this time?"
"Prince Li is innocent, there is no need to involve him in this matter." Lu Yi said calmly, "Zhao Zimo is responsible for his own actions, and he should be treated according to the law."
The Zhao family is willing to give up half of their property, and Lu Yi will definitely protect them.
King Li was poisoned and did not have many days left. Adding insult to injury at this time was not the behavior of a gentleman. Lu Yi never claimed to be a gentleman, but he would not embarrass a poor old man.
Private soldiers, weapons, and these serial fraud cases cannot be hidden from the palace, so how to submit a letter and how to request an order requires a little ingenuity.
Mu Siyu didn't understand this, so she stopped getting involved.
"Sir, His Royal Highness King Li invites you to come into the mansion to speak." His subordinates reported outside.
"knew."
Lu Yi took Mu Siyu's hand: "Prince Li probably wants to beg me to protect Zhao Zimo this time. I will come back earlier, but if you can't wait for me at noon, eat first, don't wait for me."
"good."
Not long after Lu Yi left, people from Prince Li's Mansion came again. This time they didn't come to see Lu Yi, but to come to Mu Siyu. The person looking for her was none other than Fan Shiyou.
Mu Siyu went to the teahouse where Fan Shiyou was talking about, and saw Fan Shiyou staring at the storyteller on the stage in a daze. He seemed to be engrossed in it, but in fact he didn't listen to a word.
"Madam." Green saluted.
Fan Shiyou looked back at her: "Here we come!"
"Does it sound good?" Mu Siyu asked Fan Shiyou, "What is it about?"
"It is said that there is a very nice storybook from your north city of Shanghai. It is called "Two-Way Mirror". It is indeed very interesting to listen to." Fan Shiyou said, "You like to drink chrysanthemum tea, try it. This is the newly roasted chrysanthemum."
Camellia, it’s quite fragrant.”
"Thank you." Mu Siyu sat next to her.
Zisu and Ziyuan stood behind them.
Ever since Mu Siyu's accident, the two maids have become more vigilant than before, especially towards the people in Prince Li's Mansion. They almost wrote a few words on their faces: Stay away from our wife.
"Am I ridiculous?" Fan Shiyou said, "You were sincere to me before, but I plotted against you for my own affairs. As a result, the sweetheart I risked everything for turned out to be a fake. I have been talking to a hypocritical man these years.
We fell in love, and even thought about giving up everything and running away for him. I heard them say that all this was the plan of my good cousin. Why did he do this to me? "
Mu Siyu listened to her ramble calmly.
If she wants to find someone to talk to, the girl next to her is the best choice, because the girl understands her and says what she wants to hear, which is more conducive to her adjusting her mentality.
Therefore, it must be more than just talking to her.
"Will Mr. Lu report this matter?" Fan Shiyou wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
Mu Siyu nodded gently.
Fan Shiyou frowned: "What will happen to the emperor if he knows that Prince Li's Mansion has deceived you?"
"The crime of deceiving the emperor is a serious crime against the nine clans. However, Prince Li is a relative of the emperor, and his nine clans are the same as the emperor's, so the most he can do is confiscate his family and exterminate his clan."
"Searching the family and exterminating the clan...why? Why should other people pay the price for what Zhao Zimo did? I am also a victim. No, I...I am the daughter of the Zhao family, not the Fan family." Fan Shiyou stood up suddenly, "
Yes, I belong to the Zhao family, not the Fan family."
Fan Shiyou just waved her sleeves and left.
Bilu quickly followed.
Ziyuan looked at Fan Shiyou and said: "Madam, Licheng is far away from the capital. Only a few people know about the things here. As a person, I shouldn't be so cruel to Prince Li. Why didn't you tell Princess Youran?
"
"What should I tell her?" Mu Siyu asked, "She came to me for tea just to ask about those things. I answered truthfully what she asked, and she didn't ask anything else. What should I say?"
When Mu Siyu returned to her residence, Lu Yi had just returned.
"Why are you running around again?" Lu Yi said, "Did you bring a few more people with you this time?"
"Besides Zisu and Ziyuan, there are two more in the dark. Don't worry, I will be more careful." Mu Siyu hugged his arm, "But something happened today."
She told Lu Yi about Fan Shiyou's abnormality.
"I think Princess Li and Prince Li will be sad again."
Fan Shiyou's meaning was so obvious, and she was not stupid, she saw through it at a glance.
She could indeed comfort her kindly and give her reassurance, but seeing how eager she was to get away from herself, she wasn't so kind-hearted.
