Some people were happy while others were sad.
Compared to Yuan Xi's side who had turned the situation around, Mrs Liu and her son's side had an expression as if their entire family had died.
It was not an exaggeration at all, because Lady Liu's maiden family had really been completely exterminated by Yuan Shao. Even the eggs on the King Zhao's residence had been shaken to scatter, and the ant's nest had been scalded with boiling water.
"Mother, what's going on? How did things turn out like this?" Yuan Shang looked at Liu-shi and questioned.
It was impossible to say that he had no thoughts about the position of heir. Yuan Shang was originally favored by Yuan Shao, and the reason was that Yuan Shang looked the most like Yuan Shao.
In addition to his uncle's noble status and strength, Yuan Shang was naturally tempted by the identity of the heir.
Although the King of Zhao was powerful, he was just a little chick when facing the overlord of Hebei, Yuan Shao. He could destroy the King of Zhao's residence with a flip of his hand.
In this era, the Han Dynasty was weak, killing a member of the imperial clan was not a problem at all.
Liu Yu of Youzhou was also killed by Gongsun Zan, but nothing happened to him. Liu Bei even called Gongsun Zan his brother, but he did not want to avenge his relatives.
In this day and age, strength was the only thing that mattered. The stronger one was the elder brother. Dong Zhuo had even poisoned the Emperor, and Yuan Shao had killed a puny King of Zhao. It didn't affect him at all.
In this way, Yuan Shang would lose a great helper, which would be very disadvantageous for him to fight for the heir.
Facing her son's questioning, Liu-shi kept crying, causing Yuan Shang to be furious.
"And Second Brother, that day, he told you not to force him. What exactly did you do to provoke him? Didn't we agree not to provoke Second Brother?!”
"Second Brother is a lunatic. At his wedding banquet, he strangled me and threatened me!”
"Didn't you say that he almost strangled you to death last time? Why did you provoke him?"
"In any case, he won't be able to inherit the family business in this lifetime. The second son is a stone in the latrine pit, and we are the best jade.”Yuan Shang scolded Liu-shi.
"Now, uncle's family is all dead. The public said that they died of a serious illness! How could you not know how he died?!”
"In Ye City, who else could make Uncle's family disappear without a trace other than Ah Weng?!”
After complaining, Yuan Shang also sat down dejectedly. So many days had passed, and the injuries he had received from Yuan Shao back then had already healed.
However, his injuries had just healed when his uncle's entire family was killed. It would be strange if Yuan Shang's mood was good.
"Son, mother will never provoke that Yuan Xi again. In the future, when mother sees him, mother will hide as far away as possible.”Mrs. Liu wept bitterly.
Until now, Liu-shi still couldn't understand. She had only reported Yuan Xi once, and her husband had massacred her family.
All her family members had been killed, which made Liu-shi lose her wits and her guts split. She no longer dared to use any means against Yuanxi.
Even though Yuan Xi and Zhen Mi were staying in the General's residence for the next few days, Madam Liu did not dare to go and find trouble with Yuan Xi.
"The plan now is to stay away from Second Brother. He doesn't have any conflict with us. The identity of the heir won't be Second Brother's.
The one who is really against us is Boss. As long as he is alive, I will not be able to inherit the family business safely!
Uncle helped me build up momentum before he died. Now, I'm already famous in the city as a filial son. This is very beneficial to me.”
"If you want Old Man Ah to abolish the elder and establish the younger, you must give Old Man Ah enough reason to support Old Man Ah to do so.”
"The world is big, and the only thing that can surpass the law of inheritance is filial piety.”
"As long as my filial reputation is known to the world, the position of heir will automatically fall on my head without any need to fight for it.”Yuan Shang said resolutely.
It had to be said that Yuan Shang was very accurate when it came to problems. He hit the nail on the head and pointed out the crux of the problem.
"It's a troubled time now. The more I do, the more mistakes I make. It's good not to do it. I just need to manage my reputation well.”Yuan Shang seemed to be talking to himself, but he was actually reminding Liu-shi not to play so many tricks.
The room gradually quieted down. The mother and son did not discuss the matter of the Zhao Estate anymore.
Because it would be useless to say anything. The murderer was Yuan Shao. Revenge did not exist at all.
......
After Yuan Xi's surgery, he fell into a deep sleep.
Yuan Shao didn't stay for long. He told Zhen Mi to take good care of Yuan Xi and then left with Hua Tuo. He also told him to inform him as soon as Yuan Xi woke up.
After sleeping for two hours, Yuan Xi slowly woke up.
"Husband, how do you feel?" Zhen Mi asked immediately.
"Much better."
"Then I'll call Old Weng and the divine doctor over.”Zhen Mi said as she stood up.
Yuan Xi reached out to hold Zhen Mi's hand. Just as he was about to shake his head subconsciously, he remembered that he had an injury on his head.
"Don't inform Old Man first. Go and call General Zilong over. I have something to tell him.”
"Husband, you're already so seriously injured. Can't you stop and rest?”Zhen Mi scolded.
"Ai, I don't want to either. Unfortunately, we have to do this. Liu-shi, that vicious woman, won't let us go.”
"Think about it, if Third Brother inherits the family business, what will happen to the two of us?”
"For the future, for the sake of protecting you, I have no choice but to do this.”
Zhen Mi pursed her lips and didn't try to persuade her anymore. She turned around and called Zhao Yun in.
