Chapter 391 The Difference Between Killing and Killing

After arriving at the Liu family, Huirong discovered that someone outside was watching the Liu family. Well, there were not many people following them, just one, and he was not very serious. She walked into the Liu family carelessly, stayed there for three days, and then left in a pretentious manner.

The Zhao family thought that she had returned to Qinghe after visiting her relatives, but they had no idea that she was actually going to discuss countermeasures with Li Sheng and others.

The news we got from the Liu family was that since about two years ago, it had become more difficult for them to visit Liu Manqiang at the Zhao family. They could still see her, but they would be asked to leave after not staying for long.

It was at that time that Liu Manqiang began to frequently "fall ill". Later, especially in the past six months, the Liu family came to ask for a meeting countless times, but only saw Liu Manqiang once. They were already extremely anxious and were discussing whether to write a letter to Qinghe.

But Liu Manqiang loved her daughter and always forbade them to cause trouble for Zhao Yue, so they had been hesitating. They had originally planned to wait until the Chinese New Year and if they still didn't see Liu Manqiang, they would go to Qinghe to report the news as soon as the ice thawed after the Chinese New Year.

When they saw Huirong, the Liu family's servants breathed a sigh of relief - they finally had reinforcements.

Although Huirong is not smart enough, all these signs indicate that Liu Manqiang is not doing well in the Zhao family, especially in the past six months, there may be some major problems with Liu Manqiang's health.

That was all she needed to know.

After learning about this, Li Sheng began to arrange for people to visit Zhao's house at night. Since they had come here anyway, they had to find a way to see the person with their own eyes and bring the letter back.

After three consecutive days of figuring out the layout of the Zhao family's backyard and the patrol patterns of the guards, he officially sneaked in and started talking to Liu Manqiang.

"If Yi'er hadn't sent someone to check on me this time, I'm afraid I would have died in that mansion by now..."

The entire process, from planning to implementation, took more than a month. It was not easy to transport the Liu family's money out without the knowledge of the Zhao family, and to get the Liu family's people and Liu Manqiang out quietly.

Today, some of the Liu family’s industries in Guazhou are still there.

The sale of property would cause too much noise. The Zhao family has been in Guazhou for many years. If the Liu family sold their property, the Zhao family would immediately notice something was wrong.

After leaving Guazhou, Liu Manqiang's mood was completely different from before. So, as a victim, she patted Zhao Yue's hand in a soothing manner and said, "Don't cry, I'm safe and sound now, aren't I? Before, I couldn't see you, and I had no hope in my heart. Now it's all good. I have to wait and see Yi'er get married and have children."

Although she had made some arrangements before leaving this time, the Zhao family discovered her just one day late. In order to prevent the Zhao family from catching up, they hurried and took detours. It took a lot of effort and a lot of time to reach Chang'an safely.

"Mother, why didn't you ever tell me that they bullied you like that? I will never let them off!" Zhao Yue's eyes were still red, but this time it was not because of crying, but because of anger.

"This is too much bullying! How could you treat you like this? Qian dared to murder the wife, but you only broke her legs? Is uncle really senile? This lowly concubine deserves to be beaten to death!"

When she got married, although her father was dissatisfied with her large dowry, the Zhao family was very flattering to her mother, and her aunt promised her that she would take good care of her mother for her. But now she has this attitude. Do they really think that she will die after she gets married?

Liu Manqiang hesitated to speak, and finally sighed heavily: "Forget it, now that I'm gone, I will naturally not go back to that tiger's den, let them do whatever they want."

Zhao Yue was so angry that veins popped out of her clenched fists. She suddenly looked at Cui Bianxu, who had remained silent the entire time. "Yier, you must find a way to avenge your grandmother! Those despicable people in the Zhao family can't be allowed to live so comfortably!"

"Nonsense, that's your mother's home." Liu Manqiang cursed first.

Doesn’t she want to kill those people from the Zhao family?

Hasn't she been pretending to be mute all these years just for her?

Although the Dunhuang Zhao family is not as good as the Qinghe Cui family, it is still a well-known clan. Zhao Yue has no brothers or sisters from the same mother, so she has less help than others. What should she do if she even loses her natal family?

What's more, his grandson Cui Bianxu has always wanted to be a military officer, and the Zhao family happens to be full of military officers, so who knows, he might be useful in the future.

Cui Bianxu kept frowning. Not to mention that the Zhao family was far away in Guazhou, what was the scope of this "revenge"?

He was seriously considering the feasibility of this matter. He was not going to rely on the Dunhuang Zhao family. If Cui Yi wanted to do anything, couldn't he rely on the Cui family? Relying on a mere Dunhuang Zhao family was ridiculous...

The key point that made him frown was: should he kill all the members of the Zhao family or just a few of them?

These are two different operations!

Kill as many people as you want and send those you want to kill to the front line to serve the country. More than fifty miles north of Guazhou is the Dahu River. The river is turbulent and unfathomable. On the river bank is the Yumen Pass where the spring breeze does not blow.

After passing Yumen Pass, you haven't reached the real border yet. There are five beacon towers outside the pass, each about a hundred miles apart. In between are vast deserts without any water or grass.

That's the real front line. It goes without saying how hard life is for the soldiers guarding there. If there is any danger, they will be the first to bear the brunt.

If we want to kill them all, it will be difficult to do. After all, the Zhao family has some influence in Dunhuang, and we can't just wipe them out easily...

Xiao Cui said it is still very difficult.

Zhao Yue's body trembled. That's right, she couldn't just destroy her own family.

"Write a letter to the Zhao family and ask them to send that illegitimate son to guard the border, and beat that bastard Qian to death." Zhao Yue made a decision quickly.

Cui Bianxu nodded indifferently, saying, "It's just a concubine and a bastard.

It would be fine if the Zhao family obeyed, but if they didn't, he also had ways to force them to obey.

"Grandma, you have worked hard on the journey. Please have a good rest first. I will pay my respects to you tomorrow." Cui Bianxu stood up and said goodbye. He did not take out Zhao Dieniang's portrait, but glanced at Liu Manqiang inconspicuously.

He planned to ask Li Sheng first about Liu Manqiang's situation in the Zhao family. Even if she didn't have a biological son, she was still the mistress of the second branch of the Zhao family. And how could he and Zhao Yue be bullied by a concubine?

It can't be true as A'niang said, that when she got married, her grandmother gave all the Liu family's things and her own private property to A'niang as a dowry, which is why things turned out like this.

The way the Zhao family eats is really too ugly.
