Chapter 101 Xiaoqing, You Have to Learn to Use Su Cheng

"If you want to change the fate of your family, then work hard. Zhu Hongtao said in a deep voice, "You know, your eldest sister is also working hard for this."

"Eldest sister...?" Zhu Zhuqing was slightly startled.

"Yes, but if you can't succeed, you can only follow the tradition of the Xingluo Empire." Zhu Hongtao nodded, "I will help you secretly. That's right, not only you, but I have also given your sister a lot of advice."

He sighed, "I hope you can have a chance to end it all, but to be honest, the possibility is too small. If you can't do it, be prepared to die. Don't blame me for being ruthless, this is my mission as the head of the family."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded silently, feeling a little heavy in her heart.

"There is not much time left today, I will give you one last suggestion."

Zhu Hongtao showed a sneer on his face, "Make good use of the kid from the Su family."

"Su Cheng?" Zhu Zhuqing was stunned when he heard it.

"Yes, it's him. "Zhu Hongtao put his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent.

"You may not know yet, he is the illegitimate son of the Xingluo Emperor, with the blood of the White Tiger family flowing in his body, and possesses the White Tiger martial spirit of the Dai family."

"White Tiger... Martial spirit..."

Zhu Zhuqing's expression contained surprise and realization.

She had indeed never seen Su Cheng use his martial spirit in the past.

No wonder...

No wonder there was that strange sense of martial spirit resonance when they first met.

"But Dai Mubai..." Zhu Zhuqing showed a trace of hesitation on her face.

"Dai Mubai?" Zhu Hongtao showed a trace of sneer on his face, "You are still thinking about him, and now he doesn't know where he is hiding and shivering. Do you want to count on a coward?

"Xiaoqing, you must remember that you should never lack the courage to break the rules. If you dare not break even such a small rule, how can you think of breaking the bigger and stronger shackles?!

"And, for you, Su Cheng has the biggest advantage. "

Zhu Hongtao looked at Zhu Zhuqing meaningfully, "He is the illegitimate child of the Dai family. Do you know what this means?"

"What?" Zhu Zhuqing was stunned when she heard this and did not react for a while.

"Think about it yourself."

After hesitating for a moment, she asked hesitantly: "Do you mean that he has no right to inherit the royal family?"

"Pa! Pa!" Zhu Hongtao clapped his hands lightly twice and chuckled.

"You are finally willing to use your brain a little.

"That's right, he has no legitimate identity, which is a very critical point. This means that when the two of you work together, it is easier for you to take the initiative.

"And as an illegitimate child, his dissatisfaction with the royal family may be even greater than those of Dai Mubai.

"I think he is also an ambitious person.

"This is not a bad thing.

"People with ambitions have stronger desires and are more likely to be exploited. In fact, this is not exploitation, it's a win-win situation, isn't it?

"Of course, you must firmly grasp the master-servant relationship.

"You must remember that he is just your chess piece, not your partner."

Zhu Zhuqing lowered his head and repeated his words softly, "Chess piece..."

"That's right, if you choose this path, you will be doomed to be alone. If your heart can't be hardened, don't waste time, let alone my energy."

"..." Zhu Zhuqing's expression changed for a while, and then he became firm.

Looking at Zhu Hongtao, he said in a deep voice: "I will do it."

Zhu Hongtao nodded and continued:

"Over the years, I have also gained some new insights into the family's Nether Spirit Cat martial spirit and the Nether White Tiger martial spirit fusion technique, which I will slowly pass on to you in the future.

"In the future, the martial spirit fusion technique between you and Su Cheng may be performed with you as the leader.

"By then, you will be close to controlling your own destiny."

His face gradually became serious.

"Remember, this matter must not be known to the royal family. If you don't want to die, don't reveal this to anyone, and act the same as before. Treat me, treat Xiaoyun and the others the same way.

"Similarly, I will still maintain my previous attitude towards you.

"I think you should know what kind of relationship we have with the Dai family now? You should also understand what the consequences will be if they know my thoughts.

"You may not know that your sisters love you more than you think. Including your second and third sisters, they are also trying in their own way.

"Maybe when the moment of life and death comes, Xiaoyun will be willing to give up her chance to fulfill you."

At this point, his expression suddenly became cold.

"But that is your own choice, and it has nothing to do with me.

"After I leave this door today, don't mention what happened tonight to anyone, including your sisters.

"If you really do this, it will only hurt you and ruin the Zhu family in the end.

"Everything can be maintained as usual on the surface. "

Zhu Zhuqing also nodded seriously.

She now fully understands her father's good intentions.

She also knows how huge the risks are.

"That guy will probably be back soon." Zhu Hongtao's expression eased, and he turned and walked out the door. "In the future, you can quietly leave the college and come out to see me at the end of every month. If you have any questions in the college, you can ask me together. Xiaoqing, don't let me down."

"Dad, wait a minute--"

Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhu Zhuqing quickly stopped him.

After that, he quickly ran back to his bedroom.

A moment later, he came out holding a slightly old bear doll.

"Dad, do you still remember this?"

"Huh?" Zhu Hongtao's expression was slightly startled.

After a while, he reacted and said, "Ah, isn't this the doll I gave you that year? I didn't expect you to keep it. If you like it, I'll buy you a new one later."

Not long after Zhu Hongtao left, Su Cheng came back from the toilet.

He didn't knock on the door, but pushed the door open and walked in directly.

"Huh?"

After Su Cheng entered the room, he found Zhu Zhuqing standing stupidly in the middle of the front hall holding the worn-out doll.

He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Why did you suddenly take that thing out? Didn't you treat it as a treasure before and didn't let me take a look at it?"

After saying that, he looked at Zhu Zhuqing again, with some confusion on his face.

"Why don't you put on your dead face?"

"..." Zhu Zhuqing ignored his ridicule and turned back to the bedroom.

"That doll was indeed given to her by her father."

When Su Cheng left the Duke's Mansion, he was sweating coldly.

That broken doll almost exposed his flaws, but fortunately he reacted in time and had good luck.

At that time, he had no time to think more and could only say the most likely option.

There was a gambling element in this, but fortunately he made the right bet.

If he pretended to forget it, it would be fine, but it would definitely affect Zhu Zhuqing's dependence on and trust in his other identity, which would inevitably be disadvantageous to the subsequent plan.

To be honest, with Zhu Zhuqing's current IQ, he didn't think that the other party would have a temporary idea of ​​a tentative nature.

It is estimated that it is just that he has not experienced the taste of family affection for too long, so he made this move subconsciously.

Choosing Zhu Hongtao as the disguise object is a choice made by Su Cheng after careful consideration.

First of all, this person needs Zhu Zhuqing to trust him enough.

Secondly, this identity must not be easy to reveal flaws in public, either he rarely appears, or he simply has a bad relationship with Zhu Zhuqing at this stage.

In addition to Zhu Hongtao, Su Cheng actually considered Zhu Zhuyun or a teacher in a certain college.

But he was a little unsure about the relationship between the former and Zhu Zhuqing. There are too many places where conflicts and intersections may arise between the two, and it is easy to be exposed in the future. As for the latter, he does not have enough position to do this, and it is difficult to inspire Zhu Zhuqing's beliefs and ambitions.

After coming to the Duke's Mansion to observe today, he found that this Nether Duke is an excellent candidate for disguise.

He has a cold attitude, deep thoughts, and has a position and reason to do this.

The most important thing is that he hardly contacts Zhu Zhuqing on weekdays.

Not to mention when he was in the college.

Even if his daughter returned home, he just said a few perfunctory words to let it go, greatly reducing the possibility of being exposed.

As for the words about helping Zhu Zhuyun, they were naturally made up by him.

Su Cheng didn't know what Zhu Zhuyun's true attitude towards Zhu Zhuqing was.

From the original timeline, it was indeed a bit incredible that Zhu Zhuqing could escape that level of pursuit, but what if she was really lucky?

Those words were said just to strengthen Zhu Zhuqing's belief and give her more sufficient reasons to lead the family out of the quagmire.
