“How much do you think is appropriate, Second Sister?” asked Zhao Jixiong.
“Based on the current market price, two million Fate,” Zhao Feng replied directly.
Zhao Jixiong helplessly spread his hands.” Second Sister, your price is too exaggerated. Now that the rules are artificial, it is scarce, but it won’t always be so scarce. When the rules are rebuilt, the price will soon fall back to normal levels.”
Zhao Feng said seriously,” It’s true that the price of the rules will drop. However, don’t forget that the reconstruction of rules with basic rules and the reconstruction of rules without basic rules are two completely different concepts.”
” We’ll buy these ten man-made rules. When the rules are rebuilt, they will most likely grow into ten core rules!”
” There’s no need for me to tell you the difference between ten ordinary rules and ten core rules, right?”
“To put it bluntly, even if we buy it for two million Fate, we’ll still make a profit. Moreover, we’ll only make more than my friend, not less!”
Zhao Sancai said faintly,” We can’t settle the score like this. What happens to his ten rules in our hands is our ability. It has nothing to do with him. What comes out of his hands are just ten ordinary rules from the beginning to the end.”
” That’s right,” Zhao Feng insisted.” But ten ordinary rules are worth two million Fate in the market.”
Zhao Sancai and Zhao Jixiong looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Zhao Jixiong held his forehead and said,” Second Sister, with your attitude, those who know will say that you’re loyal. Those who don’t know will think that you’re siding with outsiders and trying to transfer assets out of the Imperial Residence.”
“Who are you talking about?” Zhao Feng’s face turned cold.
“I was just joking. Second Sister, don’t be so serious.”
Zhao Jixiong begged for mercy, but his face was still elegant and full of poise.
“The old saying is right. A grown woman can’t be kept,” Zhao Sancai said playfully.
Zhao Feng was furious.
The two of them were clearly trying to push her out and deliberately emphasize her identity as a daughter who would definitely marry out in the future.
Ever since her eldest sister married off, she was the only daughter of Prince Zhao in the residence. Even though the seven Imperial Princes had always only passed down their lineage to men and not women, her existence was always a big threat to Zhao Jixiong, this stepson.
Therefore, all this while, Zhao Jixiong’s supporters, including Zhao Sancai, had been ostracizing her.
All kinds of small actions never stopped.
However, Zhao Feng had always ignored it.
But now, the other party was directly attacking. This could not be tolerated.
Zhao Feng exploded on the spot.” According to what you’re saying, I’m no longer a member of the Zhao Estate. I should get lost from the Zhao Estate now. Is that what you’re saying?”
Zhao Sancai laughed secretly, but he waved his hands.” Feng ‘er, don’t be so sensitive. We were just joking. Don’t get too worked up.”
“So I’m petty and can’t take a joke?”
” Hmph!” Zhao Feng snorted coldly.” Do you really think I don’t know about the little tricks you guys did before?” Do you need me to tell you everything in front of my father today?”
Zhao Sancai’s expression changed.” What are you talking about? We’re not evil people. Why would we do something like that? Feng ‘er, you’re too sensitive.”
Zhao Jixiong also had an innocent look on his face.” Heaven and earth can tell that I’ve always respected you very much. I’ve never dared to be disrespectful to you, let alone do any underhanded tricks. Second Sister, you’ve really wronged Uncle Sancai and me.”
The more the two acted, the more Zhao Feng sneered in her heart.
Originally, for the sake of the big picture, she did not intend to expose it. After all, it would make things difficult for her father.
But now, Lin Yi’s matter had become the fuse, and she couldn’t take it anymore.
“It’s done.”
Prince Zhao waved his hand.” Don’t say anymore. Feng ‘er, you’re indeed a little sensitive. We’re family.”
“But…” Zhao Feng wanted to argue.
King Zhao patted her hand and said,” There’s no ‘but’. I’m very pleased that you’re willing to fight for your friend. When King Zhao deals with people, we never let our friends suffer. Since the market price is two million Fate, then two million Fate.”
Zhao Feng was delighted.
Zhao Sancai complained,” Brother Wang, we are in the red everywhere. We can’t afford two million Fate. Even if you sell me, we won’t have it.”
The financial power was in his hands. As long as he did not relent, it would be useless even if the King of Zhao spoke personally.
Unless the King of Zhao directly fell out with him and took back the financial power.
But that was impossible.
Touching him would be touching Zhao Jixiong, and it would be touching the foundation of the Prince Zhao’s estate. The current Prince Zhao’s estate could not withstand such a torment.
King Zhao waved his hand.” If that’s the case, let’s put this matter aside for now. We’ll discuss it later. The most important thing now is to deal with the investigation of the Security Inspection Department. Our Imperial Residence is the first batch.”
Zhao Jixiong and Zhao Sancai’s expressions changed slightly.
Zhao Feng said,” We’re the ones who walk the right path. What’s there to worry about? Can’t we just let them investigate?”
“If only things were that simple.” King Zhao sighed.
Zhao Sancai continued,” The establishment of the Safety Inspection Division is clearly an excuse to expand the scope of the attack and eliminate dissidents. Don’t forget that the mastermind behind this is King Qin’s Mansion!”
With the feud between King Qin’s Residence and King Zhao’s Residence, if the King of Qin was really behind this investigation, then it was inevitable that he would take this opportunity to dig a hole for King Zhao’s Residence.
The most annoying thing was that even though the Prince Zhao’s mansion was a top-notch mansion, it could not interfere in the matter of the Safety Inspection Department.
He could only passively receive the attack.
” The key now is to find out who is in charge of investigating us,” Zhao Jixiong said in a deep voice.” If it’s not the King of Qin’s men, we can prescribe the right medicine.”
Just as they were talking, the butler suddenly came to report.
” Your Majesty, the people from the Safety Inspection Department are here. They are waiting outside the gate.”
“How many people are there?” The King of Zhao raised his eyebrows.
“There are 51 people in total. It seems that they will be stationed in our Imperial Residence for a period of time,” the butler replied.
Seeing this, Zhao Jixiong immediately volunteered.” Father, we can only deal with whatever comes our way. Your son is willing to come out and receive you. I’ll try to break through the head of the Safety Inspection Department and share your worries.”
King Zhao looked at Zhao Feng.
From the bottom of his heart, he had a preference for Zhao Feng, the legitimate daughter of his son. The authority and indulgence he gave Zhao Feng far exceeded that of other daughters.
Unfortunately, a daughter was still a daughter. She was destined to be unable to shoulder the burden of the entire Prince Zhao’s residence.
Even so, he was still willing to give Zhao Feng more chances.
