These people were the father of Zhao Ling, Zhao Jiang, and her foster mother who happened to be the concubine of Zhao Jiang, Cui Mei. It seemed that Zhao Ruo went to file a complaint. Zhao Ling was still lying on the bed lazily. Since she was seriously injured, no one would blame her if she didn't get up to do courtesy.
Seeing the two entering the house, she didn't move, and only called to them: "Father, mother." Such a name wa really unaccustomed. She called a little bit bluntly and looks unnatural.
But the two did not care. In Cui Mei's eyes, this eldest daughter was originally a twisted person. Every time she saw them, she always stood aside and didn't speak. She didn't even dare to look at them with her straight eyes. She was not at all like the sweet-talking second daughter who was caring and sensible. When the father saw Zhao Ling, he naturally thought of her biological mother and his original wife, Zhao Xia.
Zhao Xia was the wife chosen by his parents for him, and was the daughter of Su's family in Wuzhen. Su Family was a well-known scholarly family of the Daoshi Dynasty. The Tau Academy that was founded couldn't account for how many talents they had sent to the Daoshi Dynasty.
More than half of the officials in the court came from Tau Academy. It was just that the education which Zhao Xia received from a young age made her too orthodox, so Zhao Yin respected Zhao Xia more than a little bit.
But what Zhao Jiang liked was a gentle and charming woman like Cui Mei, who would be submissive, know how to act like a baby, and know how to serve him comfortably, so that his machismo could be fully satisfied.
Zhao Xia became sick and weak after giving birth to a daughter, and died three years later. During that time, the person that Zhao Jiang feared most in the family, his father, Zhao Jiang Gong, also passed away.
So he disregarded his mother's opposition to Cui Mei, helped her clan, Cui clan, as the main house, and gave the daughter Zhao Xia left behind to Cui clan's to nurture. Since then, he had never taken care of this eldest daughter.
A year ago, Prince Rong's Mansion wanted to get married with Jiang Mansion. He originally wanted to marry his second daughter, Zhao Ruo, to Prince Rong, but was strongly opposed by his mother. Madame Zhao Yin had been living in seclusion in the Buddhist monastery since the old Jiang passed away, ignoring family affairs.
However, after learning about her son decision, she came out of the Buddhist hall and scolded him severely, saying: "The young and the old are in designed order of the heavens. I say no. How can the prince marry the daughter of a concubine and become the prince concubine in the Royal Palace?"
Zhao Jiangi's face had blushed and turned white. Zhao Yin's words were undoubtedly hitting him hard in the face. Because neither was he the eldest son, nor was he born by Zhao Yin. He was born to a concubine, and his biological mother died of complications after birth, and he was raised by madame Zhao Yin.
Had it not been for the death of his elder brother Zhao Wu after the death of the old man himself, the seat of the man would not be his turn to sit on anyway.
Grandmother had made it known to him that there was no way he could replace his blood relationship with Zhao Ling. For this, Cui Shi and Zhao Ruo were crying in front of him, but he was unable to do anything because of the power of Madame Zhao Yin.
For this reason, the Cui family had hated madame Zhao Yin to death. The old immortal had been looking down on them since the first day they entered into the Jiang mansion. And after that, she had retreated to the Buddhist hall and would come to ruin their plans whenever she felt like doing so.
At this moment, seeing Zhao Ling lying crookedly on the bed, her face still burned by the fire, Cui Mei felt that the resentment in her heart had finally eased a little.
Cui Mei took a few steps pretending to be concerned, and said with regret: "Poor Ling, how come you are hurt like this, let my mother see what's going on?" She said teasingly as she came to Zhao Ling's face.
*How come the mother and daughter were the same? They both want to pull the veil on her faces so much!* Zhao Ling sighed inwardly. She subconsciously avoided it, turned her face away from Cui Mei's hand, and said faintly: "Thank you for your concern, mother, but the injury on your daughter's face is a bit scary. I'm afraid it will scare mother. You will look at it when I get better in the future."
Cui Mei smiled awkwardly and said, "You girl, what do you say? I am your mother, no matter what you become, how can a mother dislike her own daughter?"
Sure enough, Cui Mei's face was thick enough, and her acting ability was also very strong. Zhao Ling thought, since you want to see it that way, then let it be you. So she tore off the scarf on her face, facing Cui Shi, she said word by word: "Mother is kind, it's the daughter who is worrying too much."
Cui didn't expect that Zhao Ling would take the initiative to pull the veil to show her, but she didn't react for a while.. After seeing the scar on Zhao Ling's face, she screamed, "aaah," and took two steps back with a look of horror.
