  Chapter 391 Rumors Abound

  The Mi family naturally didn't dare to seek foreign aid blatantly, but it was still okay to sneak around.

   For example, "I have a friend", such as "What would you do if you encountered this kind of thing", etc., but I asked people for advice.

  Finally, I came up with a solution.

They also knew that this kind of thing can't be left behind, so they didn't reveal their identities when they went to the Zhao clan. Master Mi and his brothers didn't even show their faces, and they made an appointment to meet at a teahouse in a small town outside the city. Talk through the screen.

  They made an appointment with Mr. Zhao.

  Although many people agreed to expel Zhao Xiang's family from the clan at the beginning, after all, the person who made the final decision was the patriarch of the Zhao clan.

  Now Zhao Xiang is not only a salted fish, but also very popular. The patriarch of the Zhao clan has become a sinner in the clan, and everyone blames them.

  Although it is not enough for everyone to yell and beat, the disgusting eyes, the obvious dislike, and all kinds of deliberate embarrassment, ridicule and sarcasm are enough for the patriarch's family to bear.

  They didn't say that they were insincere, impersonal and moral first, but they blamed all these on Zhao Xiang's family.

  If they weren't too cold-blooded and ruthless, why would they come to this!

  The Mi family approached them, and a sentence of provocative and seductive words hit their hearts, so it was easy to win their favor and sympathy.

  Although the Mi family did not reveal their identities, under the conscious or unconscious guidance, the father and son of the Zhao family patriarch quickly believed that they were the nobles in the capital.

   It is a good thing not to know the identity of the nobleman, but it is dangerous to know too much!

  Both the patriarch of the Zhao clan and his son were not surprised that some nobles in the capital troubled Zhao Xiang.

  Where there are interests, there are fights. Is it any wonder? Zhao Xiang is very popular now, one person is under ten thousand people, I don't know how many people are envious and jealous, and I don't know how many people want to pull him down and push him up.

  With resentment and anger in their hearts, they hated Zhao Xiang's family and they naturally wished that Zhao Xiang would be dragged down.

  The two sides hit it off.

The patriarch of the Zhao clan soon fell ill. Master Zhao didn't show up, but asked his daughter-in-law to take the young grandson, and called a few weak but very crying women in the clan, who cried and watched the poor female relatives run away. Went to the gate of Zhao's mansion and cried bitterly, begging for forgiveness. I beg the Zhao family to forgive the clan and let the clan go.

  The patriarch has already fallen ill because of this incident, and he is about to die. I beg Mr. Zhao to forgive the clan and forgive the past.

   Following this uproar, various rumors spread at an extremely fast speed.

   After all, Zhao Xiang has become famous all over the world in one fell swoop, and many people in the court and the people are looking at him. Naturally, it is easy to attract attention to things about the Zhao family.

  It is said that Mr. Zhao was ungrateful. After he became prosperous, he refused to recognize the clan. He ruthlessly drove out the clansmen who came to the door.

  It is said that Mrs. Zhao and Ms. Zhao's mother and son are sinister and vicious. They have no respect for the elders of the clan. It is said that in the past, they have always been too much.

   These words sound like lies, but so what? After all, there are only a handful of people who know about the affairs of the Zhao family. Rumors, of course, can be spread as loud as possible.

  In addition, there are quite a few people who are jealous of Zhao Xiang, and the rumors are even more embellished. Many people are inevitably affected, and they stand on the moral high ground and are filled with righteous indignation

  Although some people questioned it almost at the same time, it seems that none of the Zhao clan was implicated when Mr. Zhao's family was exiled, right? I heard that the Zhao clan expelled their family from the clan before Master Zhao was exiled, so it is not wrong for Master Zhao to ignore the clan now, after all, it is not his clan anymore and has nothing to do with him.

   This statement was quickly refuted.

   There are hundreds of people in the Zhao clan, old and weak, women and children, don't they just ignore them? Does it have to be exiled with Zhao Xiang? It was a stopgap measure and a helpless move for the clan to do that at the beginning! This is also what Zhao Xiang himself agreed to at the beginning, but now that he is prosperous, he refuses to admit it. Instead, he bullies others and is unreasonable. He completely reverses the past and insists that the clan is sorry for him.

  Where is he a scholar? How could he be worthy of the emperor's trust and respect? What is virtuous, knowledgeable and talented? He is a despicable villain who is capricious and has no regard for his clan elders!

  In short, it was a hodgepodge of deliberate confusion, indiscriminate fabrication, and embellishment, and various versions of rumors were flying everywhere! Some things even happened in other families, but they were also pressed on Zhao Xiang's head.

  There was a lot of noise outside, so it was impossible for the Zhao family not to know about it.

  Deng Shi listened a little bit, and felt so angry that her heart ached. She couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep well. Zhao Liya's various comforts didn't help much.

  Zhao Liya sneered and said: "Mother, don't worry, don't take these words to heart, those people from the Zhao family are looking for death! If that's the case, you might as well help them!"

Deng said with tears: "I'm nothing, but your father is innocent, and the reputation is the most important among scholars, but now your father bears such a bad name, how can he live with it. Those people are too hateful, too Shameless!"

  Zhao Liya was taken aback when she heard it, she was worried about her father!

   That's easy!

"Mother, if you think that way, you really think too much!" Zhao Liya smiled and said softly: "Mother, think about it carefully, father is different from other people in Shilin. Father was exiled and went to Lingnan People! I have come over so hard in the past, what is this now? Dad won’t care at all! Besides, when the matter is found out, they will look good, and then let them slap their face!"

  Ms. Deng was taken aback for a moment, but after thinking about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case. When he was exiled to Lingnan, that was the real despair. Compared with today, it is really not worth mentioning.

   There are some things that Zhao Liya knew from Zhou Hansheng, but it was not easy to tell her mother, so she didn't say anything.

   Anyone with a discerning eye can tell what the Zhao clan is planning at a glance. The Zhao clan must not dare to do it themselves, and there must be someone behind it.

   Zhou Hansheng is currently investigating this matter secretly. He personally takes the lead and vows not to stop until it is found out.

   Regarding this, Zhao Xiang and Zhao Liya were very relieved.

   Zhou Hansheng is fully capable of doing it.

  In fact, Zhou Hansheng did find something.

  He originally thought it was done by the unsatisfactory second and third uncles in his family, but he didn't expect that it was vaguely related to the Mi family.
