Chapter 447 Completely ruined

A boy hurriedly ran to Mrs. Xu's yard.
"Old madam, something serious has happened. Mr. Zhao stayed in the Chunfeng Tower last night. For some reason this morning, he suddenly fell into a coma with foaming at the mouth."
"Clap!"
A string of sandalwood beads in Mrs. Xu's hand fell to the ground. She stood up in shock and said, "Where are the others?"
"The people in Chunfeng Tower have sent Mr. Zhao back, and he is waiting in the front hall now."
Mrs. Xu hurried to the front hall with her maid and mother-in-law. When she saw the pale Zhao Kang lying on the stretcher, the old lady took a breath, and her whole spirit seemed to be drained away in an instant.
"How could this be?"
The Gui Gong in the Qingfeng Building said: "Reporting to the old lady, Mr. Zhao came to our Chunfeng Building yesterday and ordered several girls from the building to match him. In order to have more fun, he... he may have taken some love potions or something like that. The drugs may have made me tired."
Mrs. Xu's face was extremely ugly, and she was angry and anxious. Zhao Kang was the only legitimate son of the Zhao family. Although there were several concubines below, they were born to concubines after all, so they could not afford to be the lintel of the Zhao family. However, this Zhao Kang is a disgrace.
"Come here, send Kang'er back to his courtyard, and then ask a doctor to come over."
The servants immediately followed the order and left. After Mrs. Xu dismissed the people from Chunfeng Tower, she went down to the yard where Zhao Kang was staying temporarily with the help of the servants.
Xu Wannian and Xu Erye rushed over after hearing the news.
"Grandma, what's going on with Cousin Zhao? I heard that it was Mr. Turtle from Qingfeng Tower who brought him back?"
Facing Xu Wan Nian's questioning, Mrs. Xu felt a little guilty. She wanted to cover up the matter for Zhao Kang. Why did Nian Nian and the second brother come after hearing the news so quickly?
"Hey, Kang'er is young and energetic. He couldn't resist the temptation of those foxy people outside, so he went to that place. When he wakes up, I will teach him a lesson. After he gets married to Xue'er, he will naturally not be here. Here comes the fool."
Xu Erye couldn't help but laugh: "If you look at it, Chang Yin is still two years younger than Zhao Kang. Since the eldest brother and sister-in-law left, he has shouldered the burden of the eldest family at a young age, but he has never seen He went to that place in Huajie and Liuxiang to do that ridiculous thing. I heard that this boy Zhao Kang called a few girls to serve him in Chunfeng Tower. As the saying goes, dogs can't change eating shit. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to change this bad habit after getting married. Snow My son is the eldest daughter of our Xu family, and the eldest brother left behind the brother and sister Chang Yin and Xue'er. How can my mother bear to let her good granddaughter marry such a thing?"
Mr. Xu is in charge of the Xu family's escort and fortune industry. He himself practices martial arts all year round and has a quite upright temperament.
After Xu Wannian received Jiang Ci's letter last night, he sent someone to keep an eye on the movements at Chunfeng Tower.
On the way Zhao Kang was sent back to Xu Mansion this morning, he went to Mr. Xu's yard to ask him to help.
Second Master Xu is not Mrs. Xu’s biological son. He was originally born to Mr. Xu’s concubine. However, the concubine passed away early, so he was fostered under Mrs. Xu’s name since he was a child. Xu’s father in his later years had always taken good care of this younger brother before he was alive. Therefore, after Uncle Xu passed away, Mr. Xu also took great care of his brother and sister Xu Wannian and Xu Shuangxue.
After Xu Erye learned about Zhao Kang's character, he didn't want Xu Shuangxue to marry such a person.
Mrs. Xu's expression was quite embarrassing: "Do you think the Zhao family is not worthy of your Xu family girl?"
Xu said in his later years: "Xue'er is the legitimate daughter of the Xu family, my biological sister and even your biological granddaughter. She is dignified and polite, and can bear the reputation of a lady among everyone. In terms of family status, my Xu family's business has spread throughout the Sui Dynasty. He is no less generous than the Zhao family, does grandma really think that Zhao Kang is worthy of the pearl of my Xu family?"
Mrs. Xu was speechless by Xu Lainian's words, and she was so angry that she suddenly raised her throat.
She pointed at Xu Wannian and Xu Erye angrily.
"Okay, okay, now that the third child is gone, you are here to bully me, an old woman, right?"
Xu Wanni sneered: "You are my and Xue'er's biological grandmother. My grandson naturally wants you to enjoy your old age and live a long life. It's just that the Xu family's business is being taken care of by my grandson and my second uncle. From now on, we will have to It’s up to me and a few elders from the Chamber of Commerce to decide not to help the Zhao family, so grandma shouldn’t interfere.”
At this time, the servant Mrs. Xu sent to ask for the doctor hurried back, accompanied by an old man carrying a medicine box.
When Mrs. Xu saw the doctor coming, she suppressed the anger in her heart and brought the doctor to the bed.
"Doctor, please take a look at him."
The old man put down the medicine box, sat on the chair beside the bed, and put his hand on Zhao Kang's wrist to check for pulse.
After careful diagnosis, the old man's face became solemn, and he shook his head from time to time, accompanied by a few sighs.
Mrs. Xu's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.
"Doctor, how is this child?"
The old man stood up and said: "Old madam, this young man must have taken strong aphrodisiacs yesterday. Because he had excessive sexual intercourse last night, his bones may have been hollowed out. This will definitely affect his heirs in the future."
Mrs. Xu's feet weakened and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the maid serving beside her stretched out her hand to support her in time.
"What did you say? You mean he can't do that anymore?"
The old man nodded helplessly: "My medical skills are limited, and I can't do anything about this disease. Madam, I'd better hire someone else."
After speaking, the old man picked up the medicine box and left the room.
Xu Wannian glanced at Zhao Kang on the bed.
"Grandma, you have heard what the doctor said. Now Zhao Kang has completely become a useless person. Xueer cannot marry such a person. The marriage between the Xu and Zhao families is over."
Mrs. Xu looked gloomy and glared at Xu Wannian fiercely.
If the third child was still alive, why would she be so angry?
"Now that your wings are strong, I can't control you anymore. Although Zhao Kang is dead, the Zhao family is my mother's family after all. As for the business of the Xu family and the Zhao family, you should pay more attention to it in the future. .”
She originally wanted that girl Xue'er to marry Zhao Kang, but with how much this boy loved his sister in his later years, he couldn't bear to see the Zhao family decline, even if she could continue to rely on the Xu family's protection a hundred years from now.
But it turns out that Zhao Kang is useless, and he ruined his body early.
After all, Xue'er was her granddaughter, so she couldn't let that girl become a living widow.
Many of his goals were achieved in his later years, and his attitude softened.
"Don't worry, grandma, my grandson will definitely help the Zhao family more in the future."
When the old lady is alive, he will help the Zhao family in a symbolic way. When the old lady goes west one day, who will care about the life and death of the Zhao family?
Now it's just a bait to help Xueer break off the marriage.
After hearing Xu Wan Nian's promise, Mrs. Xu's expression softened a little.
She asked the two maids and a woman beside her to stay and take care of Zhao Kang. Because Zhao Kang's matter made her mentally and physically exhausted, Mrs. Xu returned to her yard after a while.
