Chapter 700: Welcome High and Step Low 3

Zhao Zilan's words made Chen Yuechan and Sun Shuning slightly surprised.

The two looked at each other and Chen Yuechan said, "I really didn't expect the third girl to be so open-minded. This is exactly what I say. The fate of people in the world is very unpredictable. In life, just be yourself well. Why do you have to cling to the dragon and the phoenix? The families of us are not related to life and death. As long as it is not related to life and death, what big things are there?"

Chen Yuechan is the most lively and multi-lingual. Such words make her feel particularly passionate. Sun Shuning covered her lips and smiled, "You are not inferior to a man, it's not bad."

Zhao Zilan smiled when she heard this, but she didn't say much. The few of them worked in the water pavilion for a while. Seeing that noon had passed, they went back to their respective courtyards.

After entering the room, Shen Qingxi called Bai Ji over with some uncertainty.

Bai Ji said respectfully, "What are the instructions for Miss?"

Shen Qingxi said, "Do you know what happened to Zhao Shangshu's family?"

Bai Ji's eyes rolled and nodded, "I know a little, but it's not exhaustive."

Shen Qingxi hurriedly said, "Speak with me."

Bai Ji nodded and said, "Shu Zhao originally had a wife, who had a young man and had a very good relationship. His original wife gave birth to two daughters for him. Later, she died of difficult labor when she gave birth to the young master. At that time, the young master also gave birth to it, but later died. After a year, Shangshu Zhao took over the current wife. This wife was a re-string. The family was just a fourth-rank co-minister. When she arrived at the Shangshu Mansion, the wife gave birth to the third lady of the Zhao family for the Shangshu. However, she had no children to find Shangshu. Naturally, the wife had to continue to have a child. However, this wife was in poor health and could not have a child. She had no choice but to take a concubine to Shangshu."

"Shangshu Zhao took over three or four concubines, one of which is the one who is now in charge of the Shangshu Mansion. The man is the maid of the original wife, the eldest lady and the second lady like him, so the three of them became in unison. Four years ago, this person gave birth to a young son for the Shangshu, and he became even more favored. Later, the power of the family fell into her hands for some reason, while the third lady of the Zhao family was excluded. It is said that the girl can be taken out to the banquet when she is eleven or twelve years old, but the third lady of the Zhao family has hardly left the house in the past few years, and the official position of the Zhao family is not low. Everyone has heard of this in Beijing, and there is also the saying that she favors her concubine and destroys her wife."

Shen Qingxi had asked someone to investigate Zhao Shangshu's Mansion earlier, but what he heard was almost the same as what Bai Ji said.

"As you said, the eldest and second lady who were the most favored at home in the past, but why is the third lady of the Zhao family brought to Mount Li by Shangshu Zhao?"

Bai Ji frowned slightly, "This is also very strange to me. Zhao Shangshu is a nostalgic person, but since he is nostalgic, he is a little affectionate with the people in front of him. In addition, the second wife of the Zhao family is difficult to be a good wife, and both the eldest lady of the Zhao family and the second lady have methods, so the situation between the third lady and the daughter of the third lady is even more difficult."

After a pause, Bai Ji said, "Maybe there is something wrong at home. If the lady wants to know, I will be more happy to find out after returning to the capital. The eldest princess did not give any instructions, so I did not investigate carefully."
