"I have spread the news. We must find the sorcerer in Jiaozhi to confirm it. The sorcerer in Jiaozhi is very mysterious and has many tricks. The people we can find now are not sure whether this technique is useful. They only say that it is somewhat similar."

Even if they just look similar, this matter is quite strange. Zhao Huayin couldn't figure out what Zhao Huaqin was planning for a while.

That day, Zhao Huaqin called those gossipers to the opening ceremony of Yunshangfang, just to create some gossip.

Let everyone discuss what is going on between Zhao Huayin and Yan Zhao.

Zhao Huaqin's thoughts were obvious, so Zhao Huayin would naturally not sit idly by and wait for death. She had already thought of a countermeasure.

Yan Zhao is a very reliable person. Since he started working for Zhao Huayin, he has been working tirelessly and has done everything sincerely for Zhao Huayin.

If he explained the reason to his father and mother and asked Minister Zhao to adopt Yan Zhao as his adopted son, then Zhao Huayin and Yan Zhao would be brother and sister, and all the rumors would be self-defeating.

However, today Zhao Huaqin has made the whole thing a mystery. What does Zhao Huaqin want to do?

"Miss, should we report today's events to the Master and the Madam?"

Seeing Zhao Huayin's brows furrowed, Dianxue asked.

"inappropriate,"

Zhao Huayin shook her head gently.

"If my parents knew about this, they would definitely go find Huaqin. My grandmother has always protected her, so how can we let my parents confront my grandmother?

Besides, Zhao Huaqin hasn’t had time to do anything yet. If we make a fuss now, there’s nothing we can do if she refuses to acknowledge her.”

What Zhao Huayin said was indeed true, and Dianxue frowned when she heard it.

Liuyun saw that the two of them were worried and couldn't help but say,

"Miss, we don't have to be afraid at all. Even if something happens, Sister Qingshuang and the others are here to protect you."

"I will definitely protect the young lady!"

Feiying and Qingshuang saluted Zhao Huayin together.

"Of course I believe in you, but it's easier to dodge an open attack than to defend against an arrow from the dark. We have to be cautious."

"Girl, the lady asked you to come over."

While they were talking, the maidservant beside Shen Bi came over to pass on a message.

Since her rebirth, Zhao Huayin has been visiting her parents every morning and evening. In the evening, she would personally deliver the stews made by Zhao Shangshu and Shen Bi before returning to her own yard to rest.

Shen Bi rarely called Zhao Huayin over at other times, so she thought something happened today.

Zhao Huayin arrived at Shen Bi's yard. Shen Bi was sitting in the hall, looking absent-minded and with a serious expression.

"Mother."

Zhao Huayin stepped forward and saluted.

"You are here, please sit down."

"Mother, what's wrong with you? You look like you have some trouble."

"I went to a banquet today and met a few ladies at the banquet. I had an argument with them."

Zhao Huayin was shocked when she heard this.

In Zhao Huayin's impression, Shen Bi was the most gentle and dignified lady in the world. The fact that she would quarrel with others must be that those people were too much.

"Mother, why are you arguing with others? What happened?"

"The quarrel is not important. Mother has something to ask you. You must answer truthfully."

Shen Bi asked seriously,

"Yinyin, do you know someone named Yan Zhao?"

Zhao Huayin raised her eyebrows. So this was the reason.

"Did mother meet Madam Lin and the others? What did they say about me?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't listen to what they say. Mother knows what kind of person my Yinyin is. But is what they said true? Does Yinyin have a lover?"

Zhao Huayin stepped forward and hugged Shen Bi's arm, then gently leaned on Shen Bi's shoulder and said,

"Mother, I know Brother Yan. Brother Yan is a gentleman. I am familiar with him, but we are just like brother and sister.

I am just about to report this to you and my father. I want Brother Yan to be my sworn brother. Is that ok?"

Hearing Zhao Huayin say this, Shen Bi breathed a sigh of relief. After what happened with Zhou Pei last time, Shen Bi was afraid that Zhao Huayin's reputation would be damaged again.

"Is this true?"

"Of course I'm serious. Mother, don't you believe me?"

"How could mother not believe you? I have never heard you mention this person before. Today I heard those gossipers making up stories about you and Yan Zhao.

My mother was so angry that she argued with them. "

Zhao Huayin hugged Shen Bi tightly. It felt so good to have someone protecting her.

"It's great to have my mother protecting me!"

Shen Bi reached out and patted Zhao Huayin on the back.

"Those people may be unreasonable, but it's inevitable that some people will believe the rumors. Since you have nothing to do with Yan Zhao, don't give others the opportunity to speculate.

If you really want me and your father to recognize him, then bring him back to see me earlier."

"My daughter knows. I will go find Brother Yan today and tell him about this. I should also ask him if he is willing."

"That's as it should be."

Shen Bi didn't even ask how Zhao Huayin met Yan Zhao, nor did he ask about Yan Zhao's other situation, and he agreed to Zhao Huayin's arrangement without hesitation.

Zhao Huayin didn't say anything, but she was deeply moved. Her father and mother's trust and protection in her were unconditional.

After coming out of Shen Bi's yard, Zhao Huayin immediately went out.

Since the rumor has already come out, we should take countermeasures. Since we can't guess Zhao Huaqin's plan, we should be more cautious.

At this time, Yan Zhao must still be busy in Yunshangfang.

Sure enough, when Zhao Huayin arrived, Yan Zhao was arranging something with a few waiters behind the counter.

Yunshangfang has been doing good business since its opening. Although there are no custom-made dresses, there are many people who come to buy cloth and small items.

This was also due to Yan Zhao's business acumen. The sales contract he signed with Wu clearly stated that there were several types of fabrics that were unique to Wu, in addition to kesi, and they could only be sold to Yunshangfang.

As soon as those materials arrived in the capital, they became very popular and attracted a large number of customers.

A waiter saw Zhao Huayin come in and reminded Yan Zhao.

Yan Zhao turned around and saw Zhao Huayin and immediately ran over.

"Why are you free to come here today, girl?"

Yan Zhao knew that Zhao Huayin was busy making clothes for Princess Jiayi. All the recent news was passed on by Rumors and Dianxue.

"Brother Yan, let's go upstairs. I came here today because I have something to tell you."

Seeing Zhao Huayin's serious expression, Yan Zhao did not dare to be negligent. He gave a few instructions to the waiter behind him and then followed Zhao Huayin upstairs.

"What... happened?"

Yan Zhao saw that Liuyun Dianxue behind Zhao Huayin also had a serious face, and spoke nervously.

"My mother went to a party today and heard some rumors about you and me."

Yan Zhao's face instantly fell when he heard this.

"The girl is my boss, and also my mentor and helpful friend. How can I allow others to blaspheme her? Whoever slanders the girl's reputation, I, Yan Zhao, will be the first one to not let him go!"
