The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

At the gate of Zhao's house, Third Brother Xue and Fourth Brother Xue led the Xue family's guards and surrounded the entire Zhao family.

Everyone in the Zhao family had already known the sad news of the old lady and Xue Jinhua's passing, and those who came to pay their respects happened to gather here.

This scene attracted the people of Kyoto to stop and watch.

"Oh, this time we are going to have a good show. The mistress of the Zhao family died tragically. How can the Xue family let this go?"

"It's a pity for the daughter of the Xue family. After marrying into the Zhao family, she died before she could enjoy the happiness. No matter which family her parents were from, they would feel bad."

"........."

"You said she was fine, how come she's gone?"

After Zhao Yuxuan showed up, Zhao Yuhao rushed to him, his eyes bloodshot, and asked angrily: "She is your wife. The temple is on fire, why didn't you rush in to save her?"

Zhao Yuxuan's face was tense. Faced with this question, he felt like there was something stuck in his throat and couldn't utter a word.

It’s not that he didn’t try to rush in, but the fire was so fierce that he couldn’t get close at all!

But what could he do? He still couldn't save her.

"You can neither put out the raging fire in the temple nor save the blaze in the ancestral hall. You can neither protect your wife nor your mother. What is the meaning of your life?"

"You don't even have the face to stand here and call yourself a member of the Zhao family. You should die and make amends to them!"

"Yuhao, calm down." The patriarch scolded him harshly when he saw that his words were a bit extreme.

"Uncle, how can I stay calm? My sister-in-law is usually magnanimous to the people in the tribe. The people in the tribe are blessed by her, and she is even more gracious to me.

Your Excellency has suffered such a great disaster, but I am powerless to help. Yuhao feels ashamed of his sister-in-law."

If it weren't for Xue Jinhua's reminder, he would have been eaten to the bone by the greedy mother and son of the Zhao family.

These words moved all members of the Zhao family.

"My sister married into your Zhao family with such beauty, but now she has ended up with a tragic end of being burned to death. Is the Zhao family planning to put on such a show for us?" Third Brother Xue watched this farce coldly. Although his voice was loud, there was no sadness on his face.

The Zhao family knew they were in the wrong and they all lowered their heads.

"Mr. Xue San, you are too polite. Xue Jinhua was the eldest daughter of our Zhao family. We are all deeply saddened by her passing. But the dead are gone. We, the Zhao family, will make sure she rests in peace and is buried with honor." said the patriarch.

"Based on all the unscrupulous things the Zhao family has done, are they worthy of being buried with my sister?" Third Brother Xue said sarcastically. His words were like a sharp sword, piercing the hearts of the Zhao family.

Although the Zhao family felt guilty towards Xue Jinhua, they could not stand such an insult.

Zhao Yuhao remained silent, while Zhao Yuxuan clenched his fists tightly, as if he could squeeze out water.

The patriarch's expression changed from guilt to anger. His eyes widened and he shouted, "So what exactly do you, the Xue family, want?"

"The Zhao family was poor and destitute at the beginning. Although the title of the Marquisate was not stripped, the poverty of the Zhao family was obvious to all. Over the years... after my sister married into your family, your family relied on my sister's dowry to barely support the entire family. Before she could enjoy the home she had worked so hard to support, she was mercilessly burned to death by your family. How could she not be heartbroken in her grave?"

The Zhao family felt both ashamed and angry.

After all, no one is willing to admit that a family can only get to where it is today thanks to a woman and her dowry.

But even so, no one could say a word to refute it.

Zhao Yuxuan looked at the hypocritical Xue brothers who were full of calculations but not the slightest bit of sadness, and said righteously: "Whether Xue Jinhua lives well in my family is not up to you. A woman should obey her husband after marriage. Xue Jinhua married into the Zhao family and supported the Zhao family. That is also her obligation as the Zhao family's wife."

"She has contributed a lot to the Zhao family, and it is not your turn to come here and make irresponsible remarks.

When Xue Jinhua was alive, your Xue family didn't show much concern for her. Now that she's gone, you have become her so-called "relatives". If you say the Zhao family is shameless, then your Xue family is even more shameless. What qualifications do you have to speak so arrogantly here?"

He made such shameless words sound righteous.

The faces of the Zhao family members became increasingly gloomy, as if water could drip out of them.

When have the Xue family ever taken the Zhao family seriously?

When have you ever suffered such humiliation?

Third Brother Xue was immediately furious, "What? My sister married your family and now she is dead, and you still don't allow us to come and ask for an explanation?"

"If it's just to seek an explanation and justice for her death, then it's fine." Whenever Zhao Yuxuan thought of the fact that Xue Jinhua was dead, his heart ached and he felt so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe.

Although he once hated Xue Jinhua in his heart, he never thought of letting her die like this.

"I'm afraid that the people from your Xue family want to use this as an excuse to cause trouble for the Zhao family."

"Is the Zhao family, a mere family, worth all the trouble for our Xue family?" Third Brother Xue still spoke in a contemptuous and disdainful manner.

"Xue Jinhua is already dead. What exactly does your Xue family want to do?" In short, Zhao Yuxuan would never believe that the Xue family would want to stand up for Xue Jinhua. They must be hiding some shameful secret.

"The Zhao family has nothing to do with this matter. If you have any anger, you can vent it on me alone. I am willing to sacrifice my life for Xue Jinhua's matter."

After saying that, Zhao Yuxuan took out a dagger from his arms and put it against his neck. "As long as I can calm the anger of your Xue family, I am willing to die here immediately."

All the members of the Zhao family were moved. Although Zhao Yuxuan's actions were a little biased, how could he just sit back and watch when someone came to bully him?

The patriarch looked at the Xue family and said in a deep voice, "Master Xue, the dead cannot be resurrected. Could it be that the Xue family really wants to force the Zhao family to death before they will give up?"

Third Brother Xue said indifferently, "My sister's life is extremely precious. Even if all the members of the Zhao family die, it will be difficult to bring her back."

No matter how capable Xue Jinhua is, she is just a clan member of the Zhao family. It is simply a pipe dream for the Xue family to expect the entire Zhao family to die for her.

"Although Xue Jinhua died, it was Aunt Zhao who killed her. If you want to punish her, you should go to Aunt Zhao. How can you rely on your status to bully the children of our Zhao family? What kind of ability is this?"

"My Xue family is definitely not a rude and unreasonable family." The fourth brother Xue, who was standing aside, spoke in a calm tone, "Patriarch Zhao, my sister died so unjustly. Our Xue family cannot bear to commit murder again. However, she is now living outside. I hope you can return my sister's body today."

"Let's stop here and our Xue family won't investigate further."

"Absolutely impossible."

Zhao Yuxuan refused without even thinking, "She is the wife of our Zhao family. After her death, she should be buried by our Zhao family."

"You treated my sister badly when she was alive. Now that she's dead, don't you want her to rest in peace?"

"It's your Xue family who doesn't want her to have peace, right?"

"Zhao Yuxuan, how dare you be an enemy of our Xue family? Don't you intend to consider the future of your entire Zhao family?" Compared with the arrogance of the third brother Xue, the tone of the fourth brother Xue was calm, but like a sharp sword, with a breathtaking deterrent power.

Zhao Yuxuan naturally wouldn't take it to heart, but the Zhao family members did care about it.

At this time, Jiang advised kindly: "Brother, after all, our Zhao family is in the wrong in this matter, why don't you hand over the body?"

In the depths of her eyes, Xue Jinhua was already dead, and keeping her would only be a useless shell.

Using the sacrifice of a deceased person to exchange for the peace of many living members of the family is a good deal no matter how you look at it.

"Our first and second branches have long been separated. I hope my second brother and sister-in-law will not meddle in the affairs of the first branch.

As for Xue Jinhua's matter, it will not implicate the Second House, let alone the entire clan."

Jiang's face was tense. Even if the family was divided, if the Xue family refused to give in, the Zhao family would inevitably be implicated.
