Chapter 98 - 92: Contrary Opinions
Zhao Hanzhang pulled Fu Tinghan out of Fifth Uncle’s house and, seeing the bustling street outside the alley, invited, "Shall we take a stroll?"
Fu Tinghan also wanted to see the difference between the economic conditions of a Wu Castle and a typical town, so he nodded.
Ting He and Fu An were tidying up at the old mansion. Seeing that no attendants were following the two, the servants of Zhao Mansion hurried to catch up, but Zhao Hanzhang waved them off. "In our own Wu Castle, who could possibly bully us? No need to follow."
The servants bowed in response, watching the two walk away.
Once they had walked some distance, Fu Tinghan finally spoke, "Zhao Ming is truly formidable."
Zhao Hanzhang replied, "It’s just a pity his ambition isn’t big enough; otherwise, he could completely replace Zhao Ji."
"However, Zhao Zhongyu’s abilities are not weak. Even if he currently lacks prestige, for the sake of stability, the Zhao Family wouldn’t consider changing the clan leader," Zhao Hanzhang pondered for a moment and said, "But now that Prince East Sea has taken the emperor to flee from the Capital City, who knows what the future holds."
She continued, "If the situation worsens in the future, they might migrate south. At that time, Zhao Zhongyu would probably take the clan with him. Right now, it’s better to be still than to act rashly. Zhao Ming’s considerations are not wrong."
Fu Tinghan asked, "Would you migrate south?"
"In five or six years, we should have found the way back, right? If we haven’t by then, then perhaps we never will, and we’ll just see how it goes, following the trend and doing what’s safest," Zhao Hanzhang said calmly, basing her judgment on her knowledge of history, which Zhao Song was unaware of.
So they were addressing each situation as it came.
