After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Chen Zijing coughed and interrupted Wei Zi's ordering.

He nodded slightly to the maid: "These dishes are enough."

"I wish you and the young lady have a good time tonight."

The maid gave a sweet blessing and retreated.

The moon and stars have risen, the water is shimmering, and the lights are flickering.

Wei Zi watched the dancers' dance with a leisurely attitude, and tasted the dishes in front of him with a learning attitude.

Chen Zijing filled her with wine, and cut to the point: "Miss Wei is not curious, what is the reason why Chen invited you over tonight?"

"Mr. Chen has been deliberately embarrassing my business these days, and inviting me over tonight must be related to the restaurant business." Wei Zi took a sip of tea, "Mr. Chen wants to use his power to force me to be your concubine, right? "

"Miss Wei is indeed a smart person." Chen Zijing smiled with satisfaction, "The woman next to me should be as smart as Miss Wei. Since you already know my purpose, what is your answer?"

"I still say that, I can't be a concubine."

"Miss Wei may not know what it means to be a Juren. I don't know what the identity of a county magistrate means in Shanyin County, where the emperor is far away. As long as I want, I can make Miss Wei invisible. Do you believe it or not? You are an orphan after all. Xiao Gui and his wife will not care about your life or death, let alone offend my father for you. I can even tell you that even if you If you die here tonight, no one will care."

"Someone will care."

Wei Zi smiled, her peach blossom eyes were naturally affectionate, and her tone was extremely firm.

"Are you talking about Xiao Fengxian?" Chen Zijing sneered, "I admit, he does have some skills, but not much. What's more, you are just his unrelated elder sister-in-law, not his wife and concubine, so it is impossible for him to offend you. my father."

Wei Zi held the ivory chopsticks.

The food here looks exquisite, but in fact the taste is average. Too many spices cover the original taste of the ingredients.

It's not worth her learning.

Chen Zijing talked eloquently and persuasively: "Miss Wei, there seem to be many opportunities in life, but in fact there are only a few paths you can choose. You are just a widow from a humble background. No man in the world will really love you and marry you. What's more, men and women are different. The older a man is, the more power and wealth he will accumulate. The older a woman is, the more she is like a flower with withered branches, which depreciates over time, and her final appearance Old age is worthless. Miss Wei, you are not young anymore, when you are over 20 years old, it will be difficult to talk about your in-laws. If you don’t follow me now, you will regret it for the rest of your life in the future.”

Wei Zi: "...?"

The man tried to confuse her with words, making her feel that she was devaluing.

But she is not a commodity, she is a living person.

How can a person be described as "depreciation"?
She disliked Chen Zijing even more: "Mr. Chen, do you also use the word 'depreciation' to describe your mother? Lingtang has worked so hard to raise you, how sad it must be to hear this? "

Chen Zijing choked.

Why is this woman so reticent?
"In short, thank you Mr. Chen for your hospitality tonight." Wei Zi got up, "but I will never agree to being a concubine."

Chen Zijing's eyebrows twitched.

He tore off the gentle and jade-like disguise, and threatened coldly: "Wei Zi, don't you want your restaurant? Believe it or not, I will destroy it tomorrow?!"

"it's up to you."

Wei Zi walked to the side of the boat and stepped on the leaving boat.

Chen Zijing clenched her fists and sat there blushing.

This woman looks honest and delicate, why is she so stubborn? !

He got up and was about to catch up, but the maid stopped him with a smile: "Mr. Chen, your bill has not yet been settled. The total is 900 taels. After the discount, it will be 880 eight taels."

Chen Zijing: "...?!"

Although I have heard that the food and drinks at Red Lotus Boat are very expensive, but this is too outrageous, right? !
He glanced at the food on the table, and said sharply: "Add up these things, more than a dozen taels will be enough!"

"The lady just now has a good eye, and she ordered the most expensive things here, especially the 50-year-old girl's red vase. What, do you mean that you don't want to pay the bill now?" The maid kept smiling, but the smile didn't reach her. fundus.

Chen Zijing secretly gritted her teeth.

The Red Lotus Boat entertained all dignitaries, and the power behind it should not be underestimated. Even the magistrate would not dare to renege on his debt easily. He, the son of a small county magistrate, could not afford to provoke him.

His heart was bleeding, and in order to save his face, he had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky: "I don't have so many bank notes with me, so you send someone to my house to get them."

After finishing speaking, he left the jade pendant as a token, and hurriedly chased after Wei Zi.

Chen Zijing caught up with Wei Zi on the bank of the river, and grabbed her sleeve with a ferocious face.

He questioned: "Why do you order such expensive food and drink?! Did you do it on purpose?!"

Wei Zi was amused: "Mr. Chen invited me to the banquet, but why didn't he allow me to order? If you can't afford it, then don't invite it at all. Putting on airs is despised."

"you--"

Chen Zijing was furious.

It wasn't until tonight that he realized that the woman he thought he could handle was actually a tough nut to crack.

but……

So what if it's hard to chew, the worst is to break it!

His eyes fell on the plump figure of the girl.

She has been raised very well in the past two years, she is delicate and trembling, like a peony that has soaked up the juice of the rain.

Looking around from the corner of the eye, cumulonimbus clouds covered the moonlight, the river tide was beating against the sandy shore, there was no one nearby, and Jiang Feng's fishing boat was in the distance.

If raw rice is cooked, will the widow escape from his grasp?
As he thought about it, his expression became extremely cold, and his whole body was like a sticky leech.

Regardless of his care, he was going to drag Wei Zi to a dark bush not far away.

"Mr. Chen," Wei Zi still seemed unhurried even in the face of difficulties, as if he expected Chen Zijing to behave like this, "I would like to ask you to do something for me."

Chen Zijing laughed back in anger: "Ask me to do something for you? Are you out of your mind?!"

Wei Zi leaned into his ear and whispered, "Actually, I'm not an orphan, I'm the lost eldest lady of Zhen Guo Gongfu."

Her tone was not serious, and even had a hint of a joke.

Chen Zijing laughed immediately: "Are you the eldest lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion? I'm still the emperor's illegitimate son!"

"I bet you that within three months, the notice of the Duke of Zhen's government looking for the lost daughter-in-law will be posted from Shangjing to Lingzhou." Wei Zi brushed his hand away, and adjusted his dress and hairpin slowly, "The token is the brass collar I wore since childhood."

She pulled out a hairpin, lowered her head, and gently scratched the surface of the collar with the tip of the hairpin.

Chen Zijing looked over.

The brass on the surface was scraped into powder, revealing the golden entity inside.

it's gold...

There are vaguely engraved characters and patterns.

His face changed slightly.
