Chapter 216 Dad, what did you mean by that? My sister's death was not an accident?
After General Cao left, Leng Linglong jumped out from behind the screen, took the brocade box containing the land deed, and laughed happily.
"Mother, do you like that farm so much?"
Zhao Junhuan looked at Leng Linglong who was grinning from ear to ear and asked curiously.
"This farm belongs to Sister Yan'er. Of course I'm happy to be back. Humph, Sister Yan'er's things are in Zhao Ting'er's hands. I feel uncomfortable!"
After Leng Linglong finished speaking, she smiled and approached the old prime minister, handed him the box, and said, "Dad, keep this. When Cao Zhu returns to Beijing, we will give it to him. When he was a child, Sister Yan'er often took him to that manor. He will definitely be happy to get this manor back!"
"Okay, leave it here with me!"
The old prime minister smiled and nodded, then put the brocade box away.
"Grandfather, I think General Cao seems to have noticed something is wrong with Zhao Ting'er. He will definitely investigate the incident of my cousin falling off the cliff. Should we help him?"
Zhao Junhuan approached the old prime minister and asked for his opinion in a low voice.
"Don't worry about him. We investigate our own affairs and he investigates his. He is not stupid. He trusted Zhao Ting'er too much before, which is why she kept him in the dark. Now that he is determined to investigate, he will definitely get to the bottom of this matter!"
The old prime minister took a sip of tea and said calmly.
After listening to his grandfather's words, Zhao Junhuan nodded to indicate that he understood.
"Dad, after this incident, Zhao Ting'er will definitely stay safe in the mansion for a while. I'm going to go and have some fun with Cao Fangqing in the next few days!"
Leng Linglong looked at the old prime minister with sparkling eyes and said.
"Well, just do it, don't worry about anything!"
As soon as the old prime minister finished speaking, he saw his son Zhao Che hurried in from outside.
Seeing Zhao Che coming in, Zhao Junhuan quickly stood up and saluted him: "Hello, father!"
Zhao Che waved at him and asked him to stand up. After secretly glaring at Leng Linglong, he respectfully paid his respects to the old prime minister.
When Leng Linglong saw her husband glaring at her, she knew that he had heard about what happened today, and she looked at the old prime minister for help.
Daddy must help her, otherwise her husband will punish her by making her copy books again, and she hates holding a pen the most.
Seeing his daughter-in-law looking at him pitifully, the old prime minister coughed and said, "Get up, sit down and talk!"
"Dad, you can't protect Linglong this time. Do you know what she did today?"
Zhao Che glared at Leng Linglong again and spoke.
"Oh! I know about this matter. It was Zhao Ting'er who didn't know what was good for her. Linglong was clearly concerned about her and wanted to help her, but she still had to throw dirty water on Linglong and wrongly accused her. General Cao has already come to apologize in person. Look, these are the gifts he sent!"
Seeing his father lying with his eyes open, Zhao Che couldn't help but raise his voice and said, "Dad, outsiders don't know, but you don't know Linglong. It's obviously her fault, and you're still pampering her. If you continue like this, she'll tear down the house!"
"What are you yelling about? What are you yelling about? Keep your voice down. Are you afraid that people don't know that it was Linglong who did this?"
The old prime minister glared at his son, slammed the table hard and scolded him.
"Dad, don't be angry, can't I just keep my voice down?"
Zhao Che saw that his father was angry, and fearing that something might happen to his body, he hurriedly whispered to comfort him.
"Even if Linglong was responsible for this, Zhao Ting'er asked for it!"
The old prime minister said angrily.
"Dad, since Linglong and Ting'er can't get along, they should just avoid each other. Why bother to confront each other? We are all family. If we make things like this, outsiders will laugh at our entire Zhao family!"
Zhao Che advised earnestly that he must convince his father first, otherwise, Linglong would always use his father as a shield and he would not be able to control her!
"You are just pedantic. Why do you care about those empty things? The most important thing is that your family lives happily!"
The old prime minister rolled his eyes at his son and said dissatisfiedly.
"Dad, am I being pedantic? Look at my colleagues who are like me. My son doesn't study hard and prepare for the imperial examinations, but runs around to open a restaurant! My daughter doesn't stay at home to learn the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but runs to the military camp to hang out with all those men, dreaming every day of becoming a female general! My wife doesn't discipline her children well, but only knows how to have fun all day, and even teases her own sisters like this!"
Zhao Che became angrier as he spoke, glaring fiercely at Leng Linglong and Zhao Junhuan from time to time.
"I think they are doing well this way. Whose grandson can bring all the delicious food in the world to his father and grandfather? And can earn money to provide for the expenses of the entire mansion? Whose granddaughter can have the temperament of Jun Le, who cares about the people. In order to protect the people, such a delicate girl ran to the military camp to train with the soldiers, thinking only of going to the battlefield to kill the enemy? Whose daughter-in-law can be like Linglong, who manages the mansion so well, so that there is no pickled matter in the mansion, so that you can put all your thoughts on the court, and don't let you worry about anything in the mansion. She often shows filial piety in front of me and makes me, an old man, happy?"
As the old prime minister spoke, he walked in front of Zhao Che, and Zhao Che was so scared that he stood up quickly.
The old prime minister pointed at his nose and cursed: "With your salary and your ability to manage the shop, our family would have gone bankrupt long ago! You just need to use your intelligence and talent in the court, and don't worry about other things! Even if you are asked to manage, you can't manage it well! I regret that I trained Yan'er to be a lady from a noble family, to observe etiquette everywhere, to love her younger brothers and sisters, and to be considerate to her husband, but I wronged myself and thought too well of everyone, and in the end I lost my life in vain!"
When the old prime minister thought of his murdered daughter, his eyes lit up with coldness, and the arrogance that he usually suppressed was fully revealed!
Zhao Che was stunned when he saw his father like this!
Leng Linglong and Zhao Junhuan looked at the old prime minister with admiration on their faces. The mother and son looked at each other, ran to his side like a servile boy, helped him sit down on the stool, and handed him some fruit.
"Dad, what did you mean by that? My sister's death was not an accident?"
Zhao Che came back to his senses and stared into his father's eyes and asked seriously. He no longer had the heart to argue with his father about the discipline of his wife and children.
The old prime minister raised his eyebrows. This son really inherited his brain. He was extremely intelligent and could actually hear something wrong in one of his words.
Thinking that some things required his son's cooperation, he looked at his grandson and told Zhao Che and Leng Linglong the whole story of the murder of Zhao Yan'er and Cao Fangruo.
"Dad, I was wondering why you suddenly asked me to cause trouble for Zhao Ting'er and her daughter! It turns out that Fang Ruo was harmed by this mother and daughter! Humph, just wait and see how I deal with them!"
Leng Linglong said with narrowed eyes and gritted teeth.
"Sister Yan'er was also murdered by someone. Dad, do you think this matter is related to Zhao Ting'er?"
Leng Linglong thought for a while and said.
At this time, Zhao Che had just digested the news and came back to his senses. Hearing Leng Linglong's words, he said, "It is very likely related to her. Zhao Ting'er was deeply in love with our brother-in-law back then. She was able to plot to kill Fang Ruo in order to snatch a marriage for Cao Fangqing at the Anyang Marquis' Mansion. It is very likely that she would kill her sister in order to snatch a husband for herself!"
The more he thought about it, the more likely it was that this was the case. After his sister got married, Zhao Ting'er had stayed by her side every day. At that time, they all thought that she had a deep sisterly affection for her sister. But now it seemed that she had harbored evil intentions towards her sister for a long time!
