Hearing that the old man who always worries about Zhang Yishan is in danger, Zhang Yishan reacts even more than hearing about his own danger.
"There's nothing particularly serious happening with Uncle. I'm just saying that Uncle might be in danger. What matters now is how Uncle chooses. If he chooses rightly, then it's good. If he chooses wrongly, the danger will be enormous."
Zhang Yuqi spoke in such a grim manner that Zhang Yishan was alard and unsettled.
"Brother, can you tell where my father needs to make choices now?"
Zhang Yishan grabbed Zhang Yuqi's hand and never let go.
"Once I say it, you as my brother mustn't take it to heart. Just treat it as if I, as your elder brother, was being nosy. Listen if you can, otherwise, just pretend you didn't hear."
Whatever people tell Zhang Yishan, he believes it. For Zhang Yuqi as his brother, he wouldn't possibly harm his younger sibling, would he?
Besides, Zhang Yuqi has been good to Zhang Yishan in daily life, so Zhang Yishan naturally believed Zhang Yuqi's nonsense.
"Brother, just speak freely. We are brothers, no need for hesitation."
Zhang Yishan is so naive that sotis his innocence makes Zhang Yuqi reluctant to deceive him.
But at this mont, the elder brother was still smoldering with anger, unable to think of a better thod, and had to aggrieve Zhang Yishan, leading him to avenge Zhang Yuqi's brother and revenge for himself.
"Your father is still in the reception room with a stranger. This man has taken a lot of good things from your ho and wants to deceive your father. Previously, this man killed my good brother. I'm afraid your father will fall into the pit."
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuqi couldn't help but sigh.
"A stranger? How co I'm unaware of a guest at ho? Brother speaks of this, so I will go and see. Who's bold enough to try and deceive my father here."
Zhang Yishan's straightforward nature ans he does what he thinks, deciding to head to the reception room, and Zhang Yuqi couldn't stop him.
"Yishan, the man inside isn't soone you or I can handle. If we rush in blindly, it will only harm your father and us. We need to find a better way now, the more critical the situation, the more we mustn't be careless."
Zhang Yuqi stood up from the stone, walking left and right, trying to devise a plan, yet feeling unsure about their reliability.
"Why don't we ask Xiaoxiao?"
The person that ca to Zhang Yishan's mind was unexpectedly Song Xiaoxiao.
"Yishan, have you gone mad?"
The Song Family and Zhang Family were at odds over market issues. Even if Song Xiaoxiao married into the Zhang Family, sotis she still sides with her maternal family. Seeking her advice might be a mistake.
"Yishan, I know you like Song Xiaoxiao, but during this period, don't ntion her na in front of your father, or he'll be thunderously angry."
It's true that the Zhang Family Master would react this way, urging Zhang Yishan, for his own good.
"Brother, I know the Zhang Family and Song Family relations are poor right now. My father wants and Xiaoxiao to annul our engagent and send her back, yet I don't want her sent away. I want her to stay with the Song Family, can you help with this big favor?"
With such a sincere request, if Zhang Yuqi didn't consent, could he still be human?
"I promise you, but before Xiaoxiao stays with the Zhang Family, we need to ensure your father, my uncle, is safe and hasn't made a wrong choice, don't we?"
Whatever Zhang Yuqi said, Zhang Yishan nodded in agreent, making Zhang Yuqi rejoice, breathing a sigh of relief, and said: "Yishan, do you know your father's bottom line, like what he dislikes most, what he resents most?"
Zhang Yuqi couldn't directly instigate opposition between the Zhang Family Master and Tang Rao, but he could design a scenario where Tang Rao would provoke the Zhang Family Master's bottom line.
For the sake of cooperation, giving up reputation and dignity isn't the Zhang Family Master's style.
"What does my father resent most? Let think."
Zhang Yishan took out a dagger, drawing so incomprehensible symbols on the ground. Zhang Yuqi didn't fully understand, knowing that Zhang Yishan was deep in thought, and refrained from interrupting him to ask questions.
"Right, my father doesn't like people touching his won or coveting his assets."
Won and assets?
The Zhang Family Master dislikes people coveting, in other words, he's stingy, not liking people eyeing his won. Zhang Yuqi could leverage this angle to trap Tang Rao.
"Brother, I know how to deal with that bad guy now. Rest assured, I won't let Uncle get hurt."
Zhang Yuqi assured Zhang Yishan.
"Really? But I don't seem to have helped much."
Zhang Yuqi was indeed smarter than Zhang Yishan, sensing he had devised a good plan even when nothing had been said.
"No need, you've already helped greatly. I'm grateful to you, and since I have a matter to attend to, don't interrupt their conversation inside. I'll find you to spar once I have ti."
Zhang Yuqi arrived like a whirlwind and departed like one, the feeling was surreal.
"Tang Family Master, don't take my nephew's words to heart. Since Tang Family Master has business to handle, let's just preemptively wish our cooperation success."
Zhang Family Master once again shook hands with Tang Rao, who discreetly sared sothing on his hand, stealthily during the handshake. Afterward, they withdrew their hands, as if nothing had happened.
Seeing that the Zhang Family Master hadn't noticed, Tang Rao felt satisfied with himself. You didn't even know I poisoned you just now, with the poison on the palm and its effect occurring elsewhere. You'd never suspect it's , Tang Rao, who caused the trouble.
"I'll be off then, no need for an escort, goodbye."
Everything about Tang Rao and Zhang Family Master was witnessed by Zhang Wang, who couldn't help but admire Tang Rao. Several tis the Zhang Family Master tried to trip him up, but Tang Rao skillfully evaded all traps, securing goods from the Zhang Family Master and poisoning him unnoticed, though Zhang Wang saw it all.
"Boss, you were so quick to poison, weren't you worried that the Zhang Family Master might notice, and we'd have no escape?"
Zhang Wang naturally knew Tang Rao wouldn't take such reckless risks, yet asked out of admiration and concern for Tang Rao.
"You saw poison just now? I thought I did it unnoticed, didn't expect it was still a bit slow."
Granny Hua's skill hidden within a fraction, Tang Rao hasn't fully grasped it, truly apologizing for Granny Hua's painstaking effort.
