Chapter 13 - 7 Relativity
She slightly lifted the corner of her mouth and asked maliciously, "Now, isn't Zhao Family still under Uncle's control?"
Zhao Ji's face changed, and Mrs. Wu and the three children looked at Zhao Hanzhang with surprise, not expecting her to say such words directly.
Mrs. Wang couldn't help but look at Zhao Hanzhang in surprise and lightly tugged her sleeve.
Zhao Hanzhang pretended not to notice and kept a smile on her face while looking at Zhao Ji, waiting for his response.
Zhao Ji calmed down his emotions, quickly reining in his anger, and said calmly, "Third Sister just woke up and doesn't remember the household matters, hence the misunderstanding. I'm doing this for the peace of the estate. If the servants are allowed to spread rumors, even the best masters can be manipulated by them."
Zhao Hanzhang nodded slightly, "What Great Uncle said is right, indeed there should be a thorough investigation. Although I don't remember much, I've gained quite a bit of knowledge since waking up. It seems the outside rumors all originate from outside the main house. If we are to investigate, we should get to the root of it. How about this, let Aunt and my mother investigate together. My mother will check the main house, Aunt will check the second house, and find out which servants are sowing discord. Then we can send them all away. What does Great Uncle think?"
Zhao Hanzhang grew up under his watchful eye, and he knew the child was smart, but she had always been gentle and obedient. This was the first time she directly challenged him.
However, facing Zhao Hanzhang's unfamiliar gaze, Zhao Ji couldn't even get angry and could only reluctantly agree.
The visit to the sick eventually ended without conclusion. They left the medicinal materials they brought and didn't say much before leaving.
Walking briskly out of Qingyi Pavilion, Zhao Ji suddenly stopped and looked back at Qingyi Pavilion under the dim light.
Mrs. Wu, who was briskly following him, was startled and stopped along with the three children, bowing their heads in silence.
