Chapter 53 Making a Marriage Contract
"Ma'am!" The servant girl called after seeing Doctor Xu lying quietly on the bed when she returned to Xikua Courtyard after seeing Doctor Xu out of the mansion.

When Jiang Guqiu heard the maid's voice, she looked sideways, and a strange light flashed in her eyes. Everyone thought that her most trusted maid was Lingju, but no one knew that her most trusted maid was Ling Ju. This servant girl, because she sent Ling Ju out, she transferred this servant girl to her side to serve her.

"Luoxiang, how many years have you been by my side?" Jiang Guqiu asked weakly with a weak voice.

This servant girl named Luoxiang heard Jiang Guqiu's words, and said in a respectful voice: "Mrs. Hui, I have served you by your side for ten years!"

"Ten years, what a long time!" Jiang Guqiu sighed, then looked at Luo Xiang, and said, "If I ask you to do something, you may lose your life, will you do it?"

When Luo Xiang heard Jiang Guqiu's words, she pursed her mouth tightly, and then said: "If you hadn't rescued the slave from my elder brother, the slave at this time has become a person who is oppressed by thousands of people and ridden by thousands of men. For sure, Madam saved the life of the servant, and the servant should repay with his life!"

When Jiang Guqiu heard Luoxiang's words, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said immediately: "Very well, I will ask you to do one thing, find my brother, and let him..."

When Luo Xiang heard Jiang Guqiu's words, her eyes widened in surprise, "Madam, don't you believe that Dr. Xu will keep a secret?"

"Trust him?" Jiang Guqiu sneered, and said: "If I can give him money to keep a secret, naturally someone will give him more money to spit out secrets. Only by grasping his weakness can he be controlled! Yes Alright! Has this guy Huang Feizhang been dealt with?"

When Jiang Guqiu thought of Huang Feizhang, the manager of the rice shop who exposed her, she was very annoyed.

Luo Xiang heard the expression of self-blame on his face, and said respectfully: "Go back to Madam, this servant went to Huang's house, I heard that Huang Feizhang has disappeared since that day, and the Huang family doesn't know where this guy is, so this servant tried it out Fan, found that they were not lying."

Hearing Luoxiang's words, Jiang Guqiu frowned immediately, and said in an unhappy voice: "Has this guy evaporated in the world? He can't even find him! It's really useless!"

An embarrassing expression appeared on Luoxiang's face, "I wonder if Huo Zhirou hid her, otherwise how could she not find her?"

"Forget it, if you think of a way, you must find out where this guy is, and then get rid of him. Keeping this guy is a disaster. I haven't treated him badly over the years. I didn't expect him to cheat me and confess me. , when this guy is solved, let his family reunite with his family!" Jiang Guqiu couldn't hide her disgust, thinking of Huang Feizhang's betrayal, her anger never dissipated, if this guy dared to betray her, his family would also Will not live in this world anymore!
Luo Xiang heard Jiang Guqiu's order and answered "Yes".

"Okay, you go to work!" Jiang Guqiu closed his eyes.

Luo Xiang nodded, and left.

After Jiang Guqiu waited for Luo Xiang to leave, she learned from the other maids that Luo Xingwei hadn't returned home, and she blushed so angry that she didn't need to guess, she knew Luo Xingwei's status at this time. Man, if she knew that this man couldn't even beat her own daughter, such a coward, she shouldn't have chosen him in the first place!
But now that she has gone this way, no matter what, she must take all the properties of the Huo family into her pocket, and Huo Zhirou, a stinky girl, clean up her well to dispel the hatred in her heart!

In Hexiangyuan, the servant girl looked at Lingju who was vomiting and diarrhea, and couldn't help but said: "Auntie, do you want to invite the doctor to come and have a look? I just saw that Dr. Xu went to Xikuayuan, so I will go and take Dr. Xu away." Please come here!"

"You don't need to invite..." The pale-faced Lingju weakly stopped the maidservant's move, this was Huo Zhirou's punishment for her.

Yesterday she thought that Huo Zhirou would let her off, but she didn't expect that Chunxiao would bring her a decoction at night. The so-called decoction was just a bowl of poison, which made her vomit and have diarrhea all night. Luo Huilan, who knelt in the ancestral hall overnight, got better.

"Is the master back yet?" Lingju asked aloud.

"No." The servant girl shook her head.

"If the master comes back, you must tell me!" Lingju told the servant girl earnestly, at this time she offended Huo Zhirou and Jiang Guqiu, only Luo Xingwei can save her life!

The servant girl nodded upon hearing Lingju's words, "Understood, Auntie!"

At this time, Luo Xingwei, who was already having fun in the Zuixiang Tower, didn't care what happened to the Huo family at this time. He resented why there was such an evil, and the deception of his beloved woman, and resented him. less and less silver.

Since Huo Zhirou asked the store not to withdraw money from him, his life in the Huo family has become more and more difficult. Even if he went to inspect the store, the three stores that made the most money would not be treated as the owner of him!
"Master Luo, it hurts so much when you grab my slave!" A delicate woman in Luo Xingwei's arms screamed in pain when Luo Xingwei grabbed her arm so hard.

In order to hear the woman's complaint, Luo Xing looked down at the woman in his arms with a gloomy face, and then shouted in an unhappy voice: "Get out!"

The woman turned pale with fright when she heard Luo Xingwei's angry scolding voice, and left the wing room in a panic, not caring about getting dressed.

"Hey, I thought who it was, isn't this Master Luo?" Suddenly, a shiny young man came in with a paper fan, and said to Luo Xingwei with a pair of malicious eyes.

Hearing the voice, Luo Xing looked up, and when he saw who it was, he immediately stood up, with a bright smile on his face, and said, "Mr. Chen, why are you here?"

The young master Chen in front of him was Chen Bing, the magistrate of Jincheng. The so-called merchants do not fight with officials. Although Luo Xingwei looked down on the young master in front of him, he had to smile at this guy.

Sitting opposite Luo Xingwei, Chen Bing personally poured a glass of wine for him. After taking a sip, he looked at Luo Xingwei and said with a smile: "Why is Master Luo here to have fun here in broad daylight, not in his mansion?" The woman who will accompany you?"

Everyone in Jincheng knew that Luo Xingwei had a concubine who had been raised outside for more than ten years. Less than a year after the death of his main wife, he wanted to marry the concubine into the family, but unfortunately, his biological daughter ruined it in the street.

"Hmph, Mr. Chen thought I was willing, but now the Huo family has no place for me!" Luo Xingwei said angrily.

"Oh?" Chen Bing heard Luo Xingwei's complaint, and immediately said, "What happened? Let's hear it?"

The so-called family ugliness is not publicized, but at this time Luo Xingwei did not consider the Huo family to be his home at all. Hearing Chen Bing's questioning, he uttered the anger in his heart, "You said I worked so hard After working for the Huo family for so many years, what do you get? My daughter is unfilial, she doesn't treat me as a father, and she wants to take away the power in my hands. I should have known that I shouldn't have joined the Huo family. Now my wife died young. The daughter is so unfaithful and unfilial!"

When Chen Bing heard Luo Xingwei's words, there was a mocking look in his eyes. It is true that he looked down on the man in front of him, a married man, but...

A gleam flashed in Chen Bing's eyes, thinking that he saw Huo Zhirou who was sloppy in the teahouse that day, he has personality, looks beautiful, like a little pepper, he likes it!
Chen Bing licked his tongue, wishing to lock up this woman Huo Zhirou and enjoy it, looking at Luo Xingwei who kept complaining in front of him, a thought came to Chen Bing's mind.

I only heard Chen Bing say to Luo Xingwei: "Since Master Luo, you don't like this daughter, just marry her off. A married daughter is like water poured out. You can do whatever you want at that time." , Miss Huo, what dares to do with you?"

Hearing Chen Bing's words, Luo Xing immediately said in an impatient voice: "Do you think I don't want to? It's just that the Huo family said they want her to inherit, and she only recruits a son-in-law. Originally, the Huo family and Yuanmen have a good business. If it doesn't work, I'll just lock her up at home and marry me honestly when the time comes, who would have thought that she would actually get me a business from Yuanmen, and I'm so pissed off!"

Chen Bing's eyes lit up when he heard Luo Xingwei's words. By the way, he almost forgot that the Huo family had a business relationship with Yuanmen. If he turned Huo Zhirou into his woman, it wouldn't be with Yuanmen. Got in touch too?At that time, it will be beneficial but not harmful to the Chen family!

Chen Bing's heart was full of ambition, and he became more determined to get Huo Zhirou. Looking at Luo Xingwei, he said with a smile: "Master Luo, I have an idea, I don't know if I should say it or not!"

Luo Xing looked at Chen Bing in bewilderment, he was a little dizzy after drinking several glasses of wine in a row, and said in a slightly unclear voice: "Say!"

"I think Master Luo should find someone with a good family background who can control Miss Huo so that Miss Huo can change her mind about wanting a son-in-law. When Miss Huo is married, she will no longer be the eldest lady of the Huo family. , won’t that solve your problem?” Chen Bing said with a smile.

After hearing Chen Bing's words, Luo Xing thought for a while, then nodded, and said, "It's indeed a good idea, but how do you find this person?"

Hearing Luo Xingwei's question, Chen Bing spread out the fan in his hand with a smile, and said to Luo Xingwei: "Master Luo, what do you think?"

"Crack!" Hearing Chen Bing's words, Luo Xingwei instantly dropped the wine glass from his palm, looked at Chen Bing in disbelief, and said, "You...you want to marry my daughter?"

Chen Bing stood up with a smile, and said: "I met Miss Huo and fell in love with her at first sight. I don't think about eating and drinking every day. When I see Master Luo today, I can't help but tell what I like about Miss Huo in my heart. Luo Don't worry, master, as long as you marry Miss Huo to me, you will be my father-in-law. I will keep you safe in the Chen family in Jincheng. Master Huo, you also know that my father is going to go to Beijing. My father's assessment has been very good these years. If you enter Beijing, you can be promoted to an official position."

Hearing Chen Bing's words, Luo Xing's heart was moved immediately. Being able to marry the Chen family was something he could not even imagine. He heard that there were people in the Chen family in the capital, and Mr. Chen was destined to be promoted. If things can really happen, what is Luo Xingwei afraid of in Jincheng?
Luo Xingwei laughed, looked at Chen Bing with bright eyes, and asked, "Master Chen really likes the little girl?"

"It's absolutely true!" Chen Bing nodded emphatically.

"Then I'll go back and ask the little girl what she means." Luo Xingwei thought about going back later and telling Huo Zhirou about the happy event.

Hearing Luo Xingwei's words, Chen Bing frowned slightly, and said to Luo Xingwei: "Marriage has been the order of parents since ancient times, why does Master Luo still ask Miss Huo's meaning? Could it be that Master Luo is a father?" You still want to bow your head in front of Miss Huo? This is so ridiculous!"

Luo Xing blushed when he heard Chen Bing's words, and said angrily: "Who said I was lower than her, well, this marriage is engaged!"

When Chen Bing heard Luo Xingwei's promise, his eyes flashed brightly, and he said, "So, let's write down the marriage contract, and let Master Luo feel at ease!"

"Okay!" Luo Xing nodded in agreement.
