When Shao Yunduan became the Deputy Prefect of the remote Anze Province, the Zhao family believed that his career had reached its peak and would never advance further, so they didn't care about Taotao at all.
However, Shao Yunduan was later forced to fight back and occupy Huaixi. Zhao Shu's business in Hangzhou was taken over by Prefect Fu and his brother-in-law due to Shao Yunduan's actions. Although the main family in Yangzhou didn't suffer any losses, many people began to worry.
What if they were implicated?
Moreover, although Zhao Shu's assets belonged to him, he contributed a lot to the clan every year. Now, with his businesses in Hangzhou City lost, this blow was enough to shake his foundation. Could he still provide money and benefits for the clan?
During that period, Zhao Shu and Taotao sought refuge with Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan. They were enjoying their time, unaware that the clan was scolding them.
