Chapter 1200

Wan Jinnian fell in love with Chen, not because of her beauty, but because she was obedient.

There are three legitimate sons in Wanfu's family, and countless concubines and aunts, all of whom covet his property.There are all kinds of intrigues in the back house of the family, and there are even unfilial sons who set their minds on Wan Jinnian, who is running out of time.

There was no one available around him, not even anyone he could trust, so the appearance of the Chen family was Wan Jinnian's savior.

Because Wan Jinnian rescued her from the dire situation, Chen has an almost crazy loyalty to him, and is even more obedient to him in everything.

Therefore, even though she knew that Wan Jinnian had accepted her as his successor but never touched her because she thought it was dirty, she didn't complain at all, and did her best to please and serve Wan Jinnian.

However, her life in Wanfu was not smooth.Although she is the stepwife of Wanfu, her life is not as good as that of an old maid who cleans.

Wan Jinnian is not at ease with the people in the mansion, so his daily life is all managed by the Chen family.Don't look at the four beautiful maidservants behind him when he came to Dongtian that day, in fact, when he was in Wanfu, those few maidservants could not get close.

After listening to Chen's words, Xiaohe finally knew why she didn't recognize him when he was in Dongtian that day.She is also involuntary!
Listening to Xiaohe crying, Lin Yuan felt distressed and helpless. When Xiaohe finally vowed to learn how to take the Chen family out of Wanfu, Lin Yuan finally felt that something was wrong. up.

Asking Shiliu to take Xiaohe to another room to rest, Lin Yuan frowned slightly and left Narcissus behind, asking her to tell the details of the meeting between Mrs. Chen and Xiaohe.

Narcissus was a little embarrassed: "Miss, Miss Xiaohe was taken into the private room by Mrs. Wan after she arrived at the teahouse. She didn't allow us to wait on her side at all, and we, we didn't hear anything."

It turned out to be the case.

Lin Yuan shrugged and smiled slightly, yes, the mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they would talk about themselves, so what's the matter with leaving two maids by their side?

"However, I see that Mrs. Wan didn't bring anyone with her. There was only a little maid beside her, and she rented a carriage when she came. The servant also tried to talk to the little maid, but she was very cautious. , said nothing."

As expected, Narcissus came out of the General's Mansion. Although she was locked outside, she did not sit still.

Lin Yuan nodded, praised her a few words and asked her to go out to rest.

When Lin Yuan was left alone in the room, the smile on her lips gradually froze.

There is definitely something wrong with this Chen family, although he has not seen his daughter for a long time, but Duan never revealed all his scars to her daughter as soon as they met, which makes sense.

Is it really okay to let your biological daughter know that she was raped by another man and sold into a brothel?
Even if she doesn't consider whether Xiao He will feel heartbroken after knowing this, she should think about her own face.

What is Chen's plan?Could it be that seeing that Xiaohe is doing well now, he wants to pretend to be pitiful in front of her so that Xiaohe can rescue him?
Puzzled, Lin Yuan shook her head slightly. Since she couldn't see what Chen was thinking for the time being, she just waited and watched her get better.

The one-month period passed quickly, and Mrs. Ming was already in good health. Just as Lin Yuan had expected, Zhong Yingming personally sent her back to Yiyi on the day Mrs. Ming recovered, in order not to compensate the 65 taels of silver. Mingxuan.

Speaking of which, this is the first time that Zhong Yingming has not come to Beijing for the brothel!
What surprised Lin Yuan was that Zhong Yingming didn't come to her in a foolish way this time, but first asked someone to find out the details of the owner behind Yimingxuan.

As soon as she saw Lin Yuan, Zhong Yingming knelt down on the ground with a thud, kowtowed repeatedly, and kept saying things like "the grass people have eyes but no pearls".

Mrs. Ming despises this humble and despicable behavior.

Even Mrs. Ming, who is his wife, doesn't like him, let alone others.

The other little girls at Yimingxuan heard that Mrs. Ming was back, and they were happily gathering together to welcome her. When they saw Mrs. Ming's husband was such a man, they couldn't help shaking their heads secretly, and they all felt sorry for Mrs. Ming .

How could a dignified and capable woman like Mrs. Ming have such an unworthy husband?
Lin Yuan didn't find it surprising that Zhong Yingming behaved like this. She thought that when she entered the Zhong family, she was scolded as a little bitch by the old lady Yun of the Zhong family.

Zhong Yingming didn't know Lin Yuan's identity at the time, so she didn't say anything, but now that she knew, wouldn't she be very scared?
Since he was willing to kneel, Lin Yuan accepted it. She sat on the chair in a stable manner and said slowly while drinking tea: "Master Zhong knows my identity. If so, when you were in Zhongfu that day, you The old lady..."

"My mother is old and dazzled, and she speaks indiscriminately. I hope the princess will see it, and let my mother go for Su's sake!"

Before Lin Yuan could finish speaking, Zhong Yingming hurriedly kowtowed to plead guilty.

Lin Yuan sneered in her heart, and secretly thought that Zhong Yingming was not a fool, who actually knew about Mrs. Qiuming's face.

However, for the sake of the future, she didn't want to give him this face.

"Su's?"

Even if Mrs. Ming was by her side, Lin Yuan did not hide the disdain in her tone.

"Master Zhong, you really think highly of your wife. She is just a dispensable shopkeeper to me, not a unique character. I persecuted you for her, but I just didn't want my Yiming Xuan has lost something. If you have misunderstood because of this, then I have to clarify here, let me forgive Mrs. Zhong for the sake of your wife, sorry, your wife is not so big face."

These words were not polite, Zhong Yingming's face was already red and white, as gorgeous as a dyeing workshop.

Lin Yuan secretly glanced at Mrs. Ming, and saw that her face was also slightly flushed, but her eyes were peaceful and natural, and she didn't show any complaints or embarrassment, so she felt relieved.

"Yes, yes, it was Caomin who had a whimsical idea and asked the princess to forgive her. Well, my mother is old and weak, and she really can't stand any punishment. I also ask the princess to forgive my mother. Caomin is willing to take it on my mother's behalf."

As he spoke, Zhong Yingming kowtowed heavily, the voice was so loud that everyone outside the room could have heard it.

The corners of Lin Yuan's lips curled up slightly, and she smiled mockingly: "Forget it, Zuo is just an ignorant old lady. Anyway, the princess didn't suffer, so I don't care about her like that. But..."

Zhong Yingming's body had just relaxed when she heard Lin Yuan say nothing, so she immediately tightened her body again and continued to kneel on the ground respectfully to listen to her.

"However, there is a word that the princess still wants to tell you in advance. Don't think that you can sit back and relax when Mrs. Ming works in my Yi Ming Xuan. Mr. Zhong, I hope you can understand that I can keep Mrs. Ming here. Yimingxuan is nothing but her ability to manage the teahouse. If one day she accidentally does something wrong or offends the guests, then I am sorry, and I will not show favoritism. Of course, the losses caused by this will be Your Zhong family is in charge, do you understand?"

"Understood, understood, Caomin understood."

Zhong Yingming nodded again and again, not only Yimingxuan, even if it is an ordinary shop, if the shopkeeper or the manager does something wrong, the owner has the right to blame or fire the person.

Zhong Yingming used to run a shop, so he naturally understood.

"So, you go away!"

Seeing that Lin Yuan issued the order to evict guests, Zhong Yingming said goodbye and thanked her again. Before leaving, she didn't know if she did it on purpose for Lin Yuan to see, and even pretended to call Mrs. Ming aside to teach her a lesson.

Since the miscarriage, Mrs. Ming has been extremely disappointed with this husband. She was unwilling to say a word to him when she was in the Zhong Mansion. Ming was in distress, her fists were hidden in her sleeves, and if Lin Yuan wasn't there, she might have hit someone again.

Coming out of Yimingxuan in some embarrassment, Zhong Yingming quickly got into the carriage.

The housekeeper Zhong Shi drove the carriage himself, and seeing his master's expression was not good, he also guessed that today's matter must not be successful, so he didn't even dare to say a word.

When he was silently preparing to drive away, he heard a few muffled noises from the carriage.

It must be that the master was throwing something in his heart, Zhong Shi shrank his neck and became more silent.

Zhong Yingming had never been so useless as today. After smashing the things in the carriage, she sat there angrily and panted heavily.

Today he personally came to Yimingxuan with Mrs. Ming, and he really had other thoughts.

Originally, I didn't know who the owner of Yimingxuan was, but now that I know, I can no longer let Mrs. Ming take the lead.

You know, what an honor it is to work under a princess!

If he replaced Mrs. Ming and became the shopkeeper of Yimingxuan, those who came to collect debts would be more lenient in the face of Princess Pingxi.

It's just a pity that today's trip was for nothing, not only for nothing, but also for being so useless!
However, if you are angry, Zhong Yingming also understands one thing. Princess Pingxi is definitely not as approachable as the one she saw in Zhongfu that day, she is just a cold-hearted woman.

No wonder the people in the capital gave her mixed reviews, saying that she was extremely intelligent, but also very tough.

Isn't it just very tough?Such a merciless woman is really hard to get close to!

Thinking about it this way, the obsession in Zhong Yingming's heart dissipated a lot, so it's better to leave such difficult people to Mrs. Ming to deal with, and he can just sit at home to have fun and enjoy happiness.

"Let's go, let's go to the gambling house. It's rare to go to Beijing. Master, I'm going to try my luck."

With a smile, Zhong Yingming directly asked Zhong Shi to drive the carriage to a gambling house called Sifang.

This is what he heard from a few cronies a few days ago. It is said that there is a very unlucky steward in the Sifang gambling house. In order to improve his luck, he is looking for customers to try his hand!

Anyone who gambles regularly knows that luck, like luck, is only temporary.Sometimes when you meet someone who is less lucky than yourself, this person's bad luck will spread to the other person.

That's why the steward was looking for someone in the capital who was less lucky than himself.

But unfortunately, he has been looking for half a month, and there are eight hundred people who have come to gamble with him, and all of them are better than him.

The friend who mentioned this, Zhong Yingming, knew it very well. He was a person who could not gamble at all. Even if he could win a hundred and eighty taels of silver under the hands of this steward, how could he win a thousand taels?

"Master, let's hurry back to the house, a place like a gambling house..."

Zhong Yingming knew about these things, but Zhong Shi didn't. When he thought of his master's gambles when he was in Jiangnan, he was terrified from the bottom of his heart.

"Stop talking nonsense! Are you the master or am I the master? Let's go to Sifang Casino!"

Zhong Yingming was in high spirits, how could he allow others to make irresponsible remarks?
However, Zhong Yingming still had lingering fears when he recalled that the old lady called the family law because of gambling, and he did not forget to say: "If you dare to tell others about this, be careful and I will fire you!"

Zhong Shi followed Zhong Yingming from his hometown all the way to the capital. The whole family worked in the Zhong Mansion. If he was fired, how would he support his family if he was not familiar with the place?
"Yes, yes, the little one is absolutely tight-lipped, absolutely tight-lipped."

Zhong Shi shook his head helplessly, so he had no choice but to drive the carriage and drive him towards Sifang Casino.

After dismissing Zhong Yingming, Lin Yuan stood up and personally pulled Mrs. Ming into a chair, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry just now, I..."

What she said was that she didn't show mercy to Mrs. Ming in front of Zhong Yingming just now.

Mrs. Ming shook her head gratefully, and interrupted her: "Master, I'm not a person who doesn't know good and bad, how can I think about him just because of a few words? What's more, I also hope that you can teach him a good lesson." , you don't know the purpose of his coming to Yimingxuan with me today, I..."

Mrs. Ming lowered her head in shame, obviously she didn't want to talk about it, she felt it was really embarrassing.

"I know what you're talking about."

Lin Yuan curled her lips contemptuously: "I've seen this kind of person a lot. Seeing you climbing a tall branch, he would follow you eagerly to beg for a cup? Hmph, how can there be such a good thing in the world?"

Turning her eyes, Lin Yuan suddenly smiled mischievously: "Isn't he thinking of recommending himself in front of me? In fact, I should agree to him, and then deliberately arrange an opportunity to find something for him and put him in jail." When the time comes, don't say it's him, I'm going to cheat the Zhuangzi from his old lady's hands together, do you think it's a good idea?"

Mrs. Ming was slightly taken aback, seeing Lin Yuan's half-smile, not knowing whether she was joking or serious, she was speechless for a while.

Lin Yuan chuckled, patted the back of her hand safely, and said with a smile, "I'm just kidding, don't think too much about it. Even if I want to punish him, I won't make fun of my own business."

Mrs. Ming also smiled. She really didn't want Lin Yuan to delay her business just to help her get out of the sea of ​​suffering.

Lin Yuan asked about Xiao Fei again. When it came to Xiao Fei, Madam Ming smiled more.

"This child is very filial and obedient. The old lady may know your identity, and she hasn't come here to find trouble recently, but Xiao Fei often goes to say hello. That's right, the old lady doesn't like him more and more. "

It's best not to like it, just to make her not like Xiaofei.

Although Mrs. Ming had a smile on her face, she still felt sorry for Xiao Fei. After all, it was difficult for a six-year-old child to participate in the struggle of the elders.

Why didn't Lin Yuan know?It's just for Mrs. Ming to take Xiao Fei away smoothly, only to make Mrs. Zhong and Zhong Yingming hate him.

The two chatted for a while, and Madam Ming went out to take care of her own affairs. For the past month, Lin Yuan had been taking care of Yi Ming Xuan, so she had to get things started quickly.

Looking at the back of Mrs. Ming who was busy but full of energy, Lin Yuan sighed in her heart, hoping that she could get out of that man-eating place quickly.

It didn't take long for this wish. Eight days later, Gingko came to report to Lin Yuan with a smile, saying that the big fish had taken the bait, and she was going to collect the net today.

Lin Yuan was modifying the dress she was going to wear for her big wedding, and couldn't help but smile when she heard the news.

"Come on, I've waited for nearly a month to catch this big fish, so I have to go and have a look at it today."

Putting away the dress and putting it in the small box at hand, Lin Yuan tidied up and went out with Ginkgo and Lin Yi.

Sifang Gambling House is a huge gambling house that has only recently sprung up in the capital. This gambling house is different from other places. There are not as many complicated people as you, and no one dares to come here to make trouble.

More importantly, in this gambling house, cheating will never appear, because no one dares.

On the signboard at the entrance of the gambling house, there is a sentence like this: We welcome and send off all guests, and the money comes and goes with nothing.

If you don't understand this sentence, you can also look at the row of small words next to it: Anyone found cheating in this gambling shop will be sent to the officials for investigation!

The sign clearly says to send it to the officials for investigation, but the government basically doesn't care about these things, so in the perception of gamblers, as long as anyone who dares to cheat in a gambling shop with such a sign, most of them are Can't get out of the gate completely.

Of course, if your gambling skills are so superb that no one can see it, then you can definitely cheat here.

Everyone felt that Sifang Casino was guaranteed, and there had never been any rumors of cheating, so many people came here to gamble.

But everyone didn't know that the owner behind the Sifang Casino was actually Xia Zheng, the bully in the capital.If something happened to damage the reputation of Sifang Casino, Xia Zheng would have solved it long before everyone knew about it.

Lin Yuan was sitting in an exquisitely designed room on the second floor. This room was very ordinary to the outside, but inside it was unique, and she could see everything that happened outside without anyone noticing it.

At this moment she was looking at the first floor with interest.

There, it was Zhong Yingming, the steward of Sifang Casino and Mrs. Ming's husband who was rumored to be looking for someone to change his luck.

There were a lot of people on the inner, third and outer floors of the surrounding area, but all of them closed their mouths together, and no one made a sound.

Because this gamble has reached the point where life is at stake.

"Master Zhong, have you thought about it?"

The manager of Sifang Casino is a middle-aged man surnamed Hong, who looks refined and gentle, if he walks outside, no one would think that such a frail scholar-like man is actually a gambler.

Steward Hong was looking at Zhong Yingming with a smile on his face. The smile on his face made Zhong Yingming even more nervous, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

They play the simplest game of dice, a game of chance.

This is not the first time Zhong Yingming has come to Sifang Casino, nor is it the first time to bet against Manager Hong.Manager Hong was obviously not very lucky, and Zhong Yingming won a lot of money every time.

But today, the goddess of luck did not favor him.

Zhong Yingming clenched his fist tightly, his palm was full of sweat, he seemed to have made up his mind, and finally made up his mind.

"I have been here for eight days and won for seven days. I don't believe it. I can't continue to beat you today! I will follow!"

As he spoke, he pushed out the only ingot of silver left in front of him.

However, this rhetorical decision did not win the applause of all the guests. Everyone burst into laughter, laughing with a bit of sarcasm.

"Is this Zhong Zhong foolish to lose? Manager Hong took out all his belongings, but he is lucky, thinking that he can win all his wealth with just a piece of silver? What a joke!"

"Isn't it? I think it's good luck for Manager Hong to come back. Mr. Zhong, you'd better accept it while it's good, so as not to be chased and beaten by your mother-in-law when you go back! Haha."

If this man really persuaded Zhong Yingming to stop, he might really just go down the slope and take the ingot of silver and hurry away.

However, this man talked about his wife, and even laughed at him being chased and scolded by her!

The last thing Zhong Yingming wants to admit in his life is that Mrs. Ming can earn more money than him. Even if he can enjoy the money brought back by Mrs. Ming without doing anything, he is unwilling to admit that he is a softie.

"Isn't it just the whole net worth? I don't believe it. I won so many games, and today I can be completely defeated. The whole net worth? Well, me, I have it too!"

As soon as Zhong Yingming finished speaking, an unremarkable man standing next to him sneered, "You have it? Hmph, if you had it, you wouldn't be chased by so many creditors!"

Huh?
The man's words were like pebbles thrown into the sea, which immediately stirred up thousands of waves. Everyone questioned and laughed, coaxing Zhong Yingming to go home and find a wife and beg for a hug!
Zhong Yingming became more and more annoyed as he listened, bit his lips tightly and roared angrily: "Who said I don't have one? I still have several Zhuangzi, I'll bet on you today!"

With a smile on the corner of Guanshi Hong's lips, he raised his head seemingly inadvertently, then nodded and smiled and said: "Master Zhong said that he has it, so he must have it, but just in case, we still need to make a written proof. And, Mr. Zhong, please Forgive me for the offense, but please add a sentence to the end of the document, Mr. Zhong, if you can’t deliver these Zhuangzi’s shops as scheduled, I will ask Mr. Zhong for a pair of hands or a pair of legs.”

This still does not believe that Zhong Yingming has so many Zhuangzi.

Zhong Yingming, who was underestimated, rushed forward on the spot, and slammed the table: "Okay! If I can't show those Zhuangzi, I will pay you both these hands and these legs!"

 After solving Mrs. Ming's matter, it's time to get married, ho ho ~ the next step is basically sweetness, la la la ~
  Remember to leave a message for whoever you want to see. Also, the physical gifts of the two lucky girls will be sent out together when the event ends in July. Don’t worry, I will remember it~
