My God of Wealth is a Short-lived Ghost

Chapter 288: Why does Master Chou say this?

At the same time, Beisheng City

Liang Qingzhou exchanged a few simple pleasantries with Zhao Honglin, then he sighed and began to cautiously test Zhao Honglin. Qianchou heard the sigh and looked up at Liang Qingzhou. At the same time, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, quietly observing the two of them.

Zhao Honglin was confused when he saw this and asked, "Brother, what happened? You were talking and laughing just now, why are you sighing now?"

Liang Qingzhou shook his head and said helplessly, "Alas... you don't know, four days ago my junior sister actually gave the Dragon Pattern Nine Rings Knife to Qinggu Sect."

Zhao Honglin's pupils suddenly shrank when he heard this. "Dragon Pattern Nine Ring Knife!"

Liang Qingzhou pretended to be helpless and sighed, "Yes, it's a coincidence. Didn't my junior sister marry your great-grandson?"

Zhao Honglin nodded in confusion after hearing this, "But it's impossible for Zhao Jinyao to get that knife, right?"

Liang Qingzhou shook his head and said in an awkward tone, "Just listen to me."

Zhao Honglin calmed down and nodded, then he heard Liang Qingzhou speak in an extremely unbelievable tone, "I thought it was your ninth brother who was resurrected. After all, there were rumors in Liang State some time ago. I didn't expect... I asked my junior sister, and she told me... Oh..." Liang Qingzhou shook his head mysteriously at this point.

Seeing that Liang Qingzhou was still not speaking, Zhao Honglin anxiously asked, "What did she say?"

Liang Qingzhou looked at his anxious expression and shook his head with a forced smile, "She is indeed marrying your great-grandson, but not Zhao Jinyao's son! It's Zhao Jinghua!"

Zhao Honglin was slightly startled when he heard this, and nodded after a moment, "That's not surprising. After all, my royal brother has a secret decree to give the villa in Lan'an City to a child named Jinghua. There are many treasures in the villa, including the knife, but didn't Zhao Jinghua pass away?"

Liang Qingzhou picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, his tone extremely helpless, "He has been resurrected a long time ago, how would I know about the secret decree?"

Zhao Honglin laughed heartily after hearing this and said, "Don't tell me you went to see Zhao Jinghua."

Liang Qingzhou saw that Zhao Honglin was being tricked and quickly put down his teacup, revealing an expression that was exactly what he wanted, "That's right!"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Honglin shook his head and warned, "That child is not easy to get along with. It's best if you don't see him in the future."

Qianchou frowned impatiently when he heard this, but Liang Qingzhou immediately became interested. "What do you mean? My grandson has dealt with him and said that he is a humble person with a gentle temperament and a smile on his face. I think he is not bad either."

Zhao Honglin shook his head with a serious expression after hearing this. "You also said that you always have a smile on your face. I have also secretly inquired about the affairs of the court."

At this point, Liang Qingzhou's heart tightened and a hint of murderous intent slowly emerged in his eyes, but he didn't expect that Zhao Honglin would slowly stand up after a moment, put his right hand behind his back and sighed, "That kid is actually a smiling tiger, he is sinister and suspicious by nature, and he is very cunning. During the years when Zhao Jinfang left the palace, he was the one who had the final say in the court. When he was seriously ill, it seemed that he handed over the power to others, but in fact, the power was still in his hands. He could kill his own brothers. His character is far inferior to that of my royal brother."

Liang Qingzhou frowned and thought carefully about what Zhao Honglin said, "Really? I didn't realize he was such a sinister person." In fact, he sent a voice message to Qianchou, "It's ridiculous. He is so naive. My senior brother is an emperor. If his methods are not as good as Zhao Jinghua's, he would have been killed before he died of illness."

After hearing this, Qianchou sneered and replied to Liang Qingzhou, "He is just seeing the whole picture, and he thinks he knows everything."

Zhao Honglin pondered for a moment and spoke again with a very sure tone, "In my opinion, he married your sister in order to get the support of the right prime minister so that he could get the throne in one fell swoop."

Liang Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, then he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. "Oh? Why are you so sure, fourth brother?"

Zhao Honglin shook his head with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "When Zhao Jinghua was the crown prince, he had close contacts with a counselor and even paid a large sum of money to keep him by his side."

Zhao Honglin thought Liang Qingzhou would be shocked, but unexpectedly, he just nodded as if he was used to it. Qianchou on the side said calmly, "This kind of thing is not uncommon."

Zhao Honglin frowned and asked anxiously, "Why did Master Qianchou say that?"

Liang Qingzhou put the teacup back on the table and laughed with emotion, "Fourth brother, you don't know!"

At this point, he turned his head to look at Qianchou who was calm and composed. "It's because when your royal brother was young, he also had a similar rumor with the foster father of the Qianchou Sect Master!"

At the same time, in Prince Lin's mansion, the secret guard was reporting the situation of Beishan to Zhao Jinyao. "Reporting to the prince, there are many people from the underworld gathered in Beishan. Some of them said that there are ominous things in the mountain and it is shrouded in fog. The people who traveled with him were inexplicably stunned on the spot, and turned into ashes in just a short stick of incense. Some people said that it was just an ordinary forest, but our subordinates also explored it and found nothing unusual. It is indeed a forest. The only difference is that there seems to be fruit trees planted in a forest. I suspect the secret treasure is there."

Zhao Jinyao sat behind the desk and thought for a moment, then nodded, "No hurry, let's observe for a while."

After the secret guard clasped his fists and turned away, Zhao Congyu pushed the door open and walked in. When he spoke, his tone was full of grievance, "Father..."

Zhao Jinyao quickly stood up and walked forward, lovingly picking up Zhao Congyu. "What happened to my son?"

Zhao Congyu hugged Zhao Jinyao's neck and cried, "Father, I miss my mother. When will she come back?"

Zhao Jinyao's expression darkened for a moment but returned to normal in just a moment. He touched Zhao Congyu's head lovingly and said, "Be good and listen. Your mother will not come back. She has gone to see your elder brother."

Zhao Congyu cried even harder when he heard this. "But I miss my mother and my elder brother. Father, can you take me to see my elder brother and mother?"

Zhao Jinyao shook his head and patted Zhao Congyu on the back, "My son, be obedient and don't act on impulse."

At this time, Wan Sutong was sitting in front of the dressing table in the Regent's Mansion wearing her inner clothes. Zhao Jinghua stood behind her and slowly took off the hairpin on her head. After her hair was completely untied, Zhao Jinghua took the jade comb and straightened Wan Sutong's hair. The candlelight in the room was swaying. Wan Sutong looked at Zhao Jinghua in the mirror and couldn't help but smile. She called softly, "Husband."

Zhao Jinghua stopped what he was doing and looked up at Wan Sutong in the mirror. "What's wrong?"

Wan Sutong giggled and raised her hand to hold Zhao Jinghua's hand on her shoulder. "Can you carry me to the couch?"

Zhao Jinghua lowered his eyes and chuckled, saying in a very doting tone, "Okay~"

After saying this, Zhao Jinghua raised his hand and put the jade comb back on the dressing table, then bent down and held Wan Sutong horizontally in his arms, lowered his head and kissed Wan Sutong on the forehead, then turned around and walked towards the bed with Wan Sutong in his arms. The moment he put Wan Sutong on the bed, the candle in the room was extinguished.

Seeing this, 0533 quickly squatted down and covered Qingtuan's ears with his hands. Qingtuan was still chewing grass at this time. Feeling 0533's action, he tilted his head back and looked at 0533 with a silly face.

0533 smiled and held Qingtuan in his arms. Just when 0533 thought that he would be teleported to the small dark room by the Lord God, he saw Zhao Jinghua just lying beside Wan Sutong. After covering Wan Sutong with a quilt, he said gently, "Go to sleep."

0533 After hearing this, he realized that he had misunderstood, and could only touch Qingtuan's fluffy head with an embarrassed look on his face.
