reborn princess

Chapter 505
"Oh?" Shen Weilan's eyes flickered slightly. "That said, this Aunt Xu is quite tactful."

"Who says it's not? I heard that when she came, she took away Mrs. Zhong's housekeeping power. Zhong Shoubei's native place is in the west, not in Yunshan County, so Mrs. Zhong couldn't ask someone from the clan to help her. He had no choice but to swallow his anger, and finally sent his confidants away. It took more than half a year to pick up Zhong Shoubei's parents from their hometown, and asked Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong to be the masters, and then adopted a son from the clan. Not daring to compete for favor, but hiding in the Buddhist hall in the backyard, guarding her adopted son to make ends meet. And Zhong Shoubei's other concubines are also struggling."

Yingge is really smart, she knows all these things in the back house of the garrison mansion clearly, these things are not easy for men like Chen Sanniu to inquire about.

"And their stupid son, he is said to be stupid, but he is very lecherous." Xuan Chen paused for a moment before continuing. "I heard that no matter who their stupid son is, as long as they are women, he will pull them on the bed like an animal. There are almost no women in the back house of the Garrison Mansion who have not been touched by this fool."

"Speak seriously!" Shen Weilan glared at him in embarrassment.

Xuan Chen complained displeasedly, "I'm not as good as a fool..."

"You still say!" Shen Weilan blushed.

"I don't care!" Xuan Chen said angrily. "You let me hug you anyway..."

"Get out!" Shen Weilan's face couldn't help turning red like a big red cloth.

Xuan Chen curled his lips, "Okay, I won't say anything! By the way, there is one more thing. Yingge'er said that Zhong Shijie regards money as his life, and he has a lot of ways to make money. I preliminarily estimate that he has a lot to say if he doesn't say much." Millions of dollars. So I came up with a flawless idea, not only can we vent your anger on Uncle Song, but we can also swallow all the money that Zhong Shijie has accumulated for most of his life!"

……

"The child adopted by the Wang family is named Zhong Zhixiao. He is 13 years old this year. He is studying in a government school in the city. Master Wang's youngest daughter is named Wang Xueling. She has a good relationship with Yingge. Master Wang's son is also studying in a government school. Zhong Zhixiao has a good relationship, so I sent Yingge to find a way to invite Zhong Zhixiao."

In the early morning of the next day, Xuan Chen took Shen Weilan out in a carriage.

Shen Weilan asked lazily: "Are you so sure that Zhong Zhixiao and Yingge can come to see us together?"

Xuan Chen smiled confidently: "I asked Yingge to tell him that someone is going to kill him and his mother. If you want to live, come see me! No matter whether he believes you or not, he will show an attitude. If he comes Well, our business has an [-]% chance of being successful. If we don’t come, we’ll think of other ways. The garrison mansion is headed by Mrs. Xu, who doesn’t like this adopted son very much. She wishes he could die outside. They didn’t even send a carriage to pick him up, so it’s quite easy for us to get close to him.”

The carriage stopped at the mouth of a narrow alley.

Du Xihua got out of the car and waited for a while on the side of the road, only to see a thin young man in a light gray and half-worn fox fur cloak walking slowly under the leadership of Yingge.

When he got close, Yingge didn't say a word, but pushed him into the car.

Shen Weilan looked at the young man in front of him who still had a chill in his body. The young man was very handsome, with a fair face and a timid expression on his face. His two big black grape-like eyes were filled with deep suspicious look.

"You... What exactly are you looking for me for?" the young man asked in a whisper.

"You are Zhong Zhixiao?" Xuan Chen said.

The young man suddenly saw knives and swords in the carriage, he couldn't help standing up with tingling scalp, and made a gesture to get out of the carriage, "I'd better go, my mother is waiting for me to eat."

"Don't you and your mother want to live like this all the time?" Xuan Chen said lightly, but unexpectedly stopped his footsteps.

He sat back hesitantly, "What do you mean by that?"

"It's not interesting, I just want to ask you, do you think the life between you and your mother is easy now?" Xuan Chen stared at him sharply. "As the main wife, your mother has to be angry with a concubine of the Xu family. As the only heir of the Zhong family who can inherit the family business, you don't even have a carriage to go to and from school. Don't you feel sad?"

As he said that, he reached out and touched the half-worn fox fur cloak on his body, "Have you been wearing this cloak for several years? It's already a bit short."

Zhong Zhixiao opened his mouth, as if he wanted to refute something, but then he slumped his shoulders, lowered his head and whispered: "Actually, life is much better now than before. I have no parents since I was young. I followed my uncle, and all my uncles disliked me, and I was hungry and full all the time. I only followed my mother when I was five years old, and now, I am very satisfied with food and clothing."

"Zhong Zhixiao, you know, your thinking like this is unfilial!" Xuan Chen scolded sharply. "Your mother gave you food and clothing, and everything, but you couldn't even give her the most basic protection. You made her a wife in the main room be angry with a concubine, and you made her even have her own yard. I can’t live there, so I went to live in the Buddhist hall. You are called the most filial, but you are the most disloyal and unfilial person, and you still go to school to study, is it possible that all your books have been read into the stomach of a dog?”

"No..." Zhong Zhixiao defended himself with a flushed face. "It's not that I don't want to protect my mother, and it's not that I don't want to vent my anger on my mother. I just want to wait until I become famous. I don't want to vent my anger on my mother until I pass the exam. Now I have nothing, and everything I have is my mother." For me, what do you want me to use to protect her?"

"Remember!" Xuan Chen said seriously. "Power is earned, not given by others. If you want to live a good life, you have to fight for it yourself. If you don't work hard, you just want to get something for nothing. How can you be a filial son? How do you know?" , then Mrs. Xu will definitely let you take the test for fame? If you have achieved fame, is there a place for her?"

After hearing her words, Zhong Zhixiao froze suddenly, his eyes stared straight at Xuan Chen, "You mean..."

Seeing that he had already been persuaded by him, Xuan Chen slowed down his tone, and said in a soft voice: "Ms. Xu treats you and your mother like this, if you are allowed to be admitted to fame, isn't she afraid that you and your mother will retaliate against her? So you believe me, she will never let you take the test for fame, even if you can't find a good-sounding excuse, she will use dirty tricks."

"Then...then what should I do?" Zhong Zhixiao was really moved by her persuasion, and he couldn't help asking in a little panic. The reason he studied for so long was to take the exam and win the reputation of his adoptive mother.

"Go and ask your mother for me, do you want to stay in the Buddhist hall and die with you, or spend the rest of your life with you? If the former, just pretend we haven't met today; At that time, you still come here to find me."

……

In the quiet Buddhist hall, there is a strong smell of sandalwood, as if it can separate the inside of the Buddhist hall from the outside of the Buddhist hall into two worlds.

"Mother, I'm back." Zhong Zhixiao walked into the Buddhist hall, looked at the woman who kept kneeling in front of the Buddha, and greeted her softly.

"Ah, it's Zhixiao who's back!" The woman was Zhong Shijie's wife Wang Shi, the guard of Yunshan County. Hearing the voice, she stood up with a smile on her face, turned around, and looked at him lovingly. "Are you tired from studying? Take a rest, the food will be served soon."

Zhong Zhixiao looked around and saw that there was no one else in the Buddhist hall, so he took Wang's hand into the inner room, and said in a low voice, "Mother, I met a girl today, and she asked me to ask you a question." talk."

"Girl?" Wang asked in surprise. "What girl?"

"I don't know who she is, but she asked me to ask you, do you want to die of old age in a Buddhist hall with your son, or do you want to spend your life guarding your money?" Zhong Zhixiao truthfully told Shen Weilan what he had told him. again.

Mrs. Wang frowned slightly, thought for a while quietly, and asked softly, "Did your father offend someone?"

"Uh..." Zhong Zhixiao thought for a while and replied honestly. "Father has had a lot of trouble with the magistrate recently. Aunt Xu fell in love with the girl from the magistrate's family. She insisted on marrying her as a daughter-in-law. She was not happy with her, so she instigated father to frame her. Yesterday, she sent someone Many poor corvees were sent to block the gates of the county government."

He was studying in the school, and he was very well informed. Basically, the affairs of Yunshan County could not escape his ears. It was just that he didn't want to worry his mother too much, so he seldom talked about these things with his mother.

"It's a crime, it's a crime!" Mrs. Wang sighed heavily. "What did the girl tell you besides letting you talk?"

Zhong Zhixiao recounted all that Shen Weilan had said to him, and finally said in a low voice: "Mother, my son is studying to test his fame. In the future, I can take mother out of this Buddhist hall so that mother can live a good life. But , what if Aunt Xu really refuses to let her son go to the scientific examination?"

Mrs. Wang closed her eyes and remained silent for a while. After a long time, she opened her eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "This young man is not simple. I didn't even think that Mrs. Xu might prevent you from going to the scientific research." Yes. I thought that she should let you find a future for her stupid son. Otherwise, when she dies, no one will be able to take care of her stupid son. But now it seems that my idea is really Stupid as hell."

Zhong Zhixiao didn't expect his mother to think so, and couldn't help panicking, "Mother, what should I do?"

Wang sneered self-deprecatingly, "I should have thought that if she wanted you to take care of her stupid son in the future, she should treat you well, but now, she is unscrupulously bullying you together, clearly It's just that I never planned to count on you. Since you don't count on you, you won't be able to pass the exam, so naturally it will benefit her the most. Son, did the young master say anything, what is her purpose?"
