Jie a husband is too arrogant

Chapter 99
Old man Gu went over, opened Ren Zhier's eyes to look, stuck a silver needle into her stomach and observed for a while, then turned her tongue out.

Everyone looked at it strangely, and hurriedly turned their heads.

After a while, Old Man Gu suddenly said, "Bring the medicine that Third Young Madam usually takes!"

In the past, Nianxiu boiled medicine for Ren Zhier, but when Ren Yu came, she and Taozi took turns to boil medicine. Hearing this, Nianxiu responded first and went to get the medicine pot.

This morning, Nianxiu didn't know that Ren Zhi'er was dead, and she got up early to boil the medicine, and now she hasn't taken a sip, it's all in the jar.When the medicine pot was brought, old man Gu smelled the medicine juice and knew it in his heart. To be sure, he poured out the medicine juice, took out the medicine residue, and checked them one by one.

At this time, people in the room stared at each other, and there was no sound. Only Ren Yu slowly retreated behind Madam Ren, her whole body was tense, and her face gradually turned pale.

At first she didn't expect that Nianxiu would suspect that someone had harmed Ren Zhi'er. She followed the words and wanted to lead the matter to Su Jiu, thinking that the Ji family would let their family make demands in order to calm things down, and her parents would definitely let her Marry into Jifu.

Everything was going to be a matter of course, why did a doctor suddenly appear, and he seemed to be quite capable.

Ren Yu peeked from behind, and slowly clenched the palms under the wide sleeves.

"Old Gu, is there a problem with the medicine?" Ji Yuxian asked in a low voice seeing that the old man checked carefully.

Everyone naturally wanted to know, and when they heard him ask, they all waited for old man Gu to reply.

Gu Lao shook his head, "There is nothing in the medicine dregs!"

Ren Yu breathed out calmly, then heard Gu Lao say again, "But there is something wrong with the medicine."

Ji Yuxian frowned and asked, "What does Gu Lao mean?"

Since there is no problem with the dregs of the medicine, how can there be a problem with the medicine?

Mr. Gu picked up the medicine juice that had cooled down that night and smelled it, and said unhurriedly, "There is eggplant in this medicine. In order to prevent people from finding out, the eggplant was dried and crushed into powder and mixed with it." It’s in the medicine. The third young lady suffered from the cold evil entering her lungs, and the wind eggplant will not only aggravate the condition, but also produce a slight hallucinogenic effect, so the third young lady often has nightmares and can’t sleep. And the long-term nightmare is even more It directly destroyed the third young lady's body and mind, causing her to become seriously ill and die!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was taken aback.

Madam Ren burst into tears, waved the handkerchief in her hand, and wailed loudly, "My poor daughter was really murdered to death!"

"Zhi'er, mother, I'm sorry!"

"Who killed you! Mother is incompetent, but she will avenge you no matter how hard she tries!"

Ren Yu hurriedly supported her mother, weeping and persuading, "Mother, don't be sad, the person who killed my sister will definitely be found out!"

After all, he looked at Su Jiu with resentment.

Mrs. Ren fell on Ren Yu's shoulder, crying bitterly.

Su Jiu's expression didn't change, she just stared at Old Man Gu, knowing that he didn't finish his sentence, but it just made people want to make people guess wildly!

The old man must be jealous of the thing she threatened him before, and did it on purpose.

Ji Yuxian held her hand and scratched her palm, telling her to be calm.

The second lady glanced at Su Jiu, frowned and asked, "Doctor Gu, was the third young lady really poisoned to death?"

Old man Gu shook his head, "No, this medicine is not heavy, and it won't kill people all at once. The third young lady's death is because of..."

His words paused, Madam Ren, who was crying loudly, stopped and turned her head to look over.

Old man Gu sighed, "The third young lady died in the middle of the night last night. The real cause of death was that someone covered her mouth and nose and suffocated to death!"

The room suddenly fell silent, and everyone froze.

Su Jiu turned her head to look at Nianxiu who looked shocked, "The third young lady died in the middle of the night, did you ever see me coming to your Tangfeng courtyard in the middle of the night?"

Nianxiu was startled, and suddenly raised her head to look at Su Jiu, her face pale.

Ren Yu glanced at Nianxiu, lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I heard that the young lady is very powerful in martial arts, and can fly over eaves and walls, so no one will know if she wants to enter Tangfengyuan without telling anyone."

Although her voice was low, everyone could hear her clearly. Everyone's eyes fell on Su Jiu, and they became suspicious again.

Ji Yuxian chuckled, "Madam was with me last night, if she went out in the middle of the night, I would know it. So I can testify for Madam that she never left last night."

When Ji Yuxian spoke, the others dared not object.

Su Jiu said, "Since the Third Young Madam died of suffocation, it means that it was a homicide, not a simple death of illness, then report to the official, let the government investigate, avenge the Third Young Madam, and return my innocence!"

Ren Yu grasped Mrs. Ren's sleeves tightly, and said in a low voice, "Mother, if you report to the official, if you come here, will you have to dissect my sister? It's terrible! My sister loved cleanliness before she was alive, and she definitely doesn't want to be killed after death." It ended up like this."

Mrs. Ren didn't want to make matters worse, so she said, "No matter what, it's our own business. What does the reporter do? We believe it wasn't the Young Madam who did it. How about it? Since Zhi'er is dead, let Yu Er went to the mansion to serve the eldest son, and gave birth to a son and a half daughter, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of Zhier's wish, and we will not pursue Zhier's affairs!"

Su Jiu burst out laughing, "Mrs. Ren, you have such a big heart! My daughter just died for no reason, and you can marry another daughter in with confidence. You are not afraid that she will die like this!"

Mrs. Ren was stunned for a moment, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she couldn't speak.

Su Jiu looked at Ji Yuxian, "The third young lady is my husband's concubine after all, what does my husband think?"

Ji Yuxian's phoenix pupils were cold and stern, "Of course we need to investigate clearly!"

After finishing speaking, he shouted coldly, "Come on!"

Jin Feng immediately brought a few guards into the door, "My lord!"

"Search Tangfengyuan immediately!"

"Yes!"

Jin Feng took it down.

Among the crowd, Ren Yu turned his head to look at Taozi without moving his expression. The corners of Taozi's lips curved slightly, and he shook his head slightly.

Ren Yu felt relieved, and sobbed softly, pretending to be sad.

Soon, Jin Feng came back with someone, and reported, "The people under my command have searched Tangfengyuan, and there is nothing suspicious."

The Ren family members who were standing in the yard saw the search yard, not knowing what happened, and entered the house in panic.

Old man Gu had finished examining the body, he had nothing else to do, and was watching the fun, Su Jiu walked over, raised his eyebrows and said, "Old Gu, come up with an idea!"

Old man Gu snorted, "It's none of my business, what's my idea!"

Su Jiu's fingers creaked, and she smiled softly, "Recently, my hands are itchy and my eyes are not very good. If I go to the wrong yard and break some bottles and cans, Mr. Gu remembers to go and talk to my husband." Count the money."

threaten him?
The old man blew his beard and stared at Su Jiu. After a long while, he said angrily, "Feng eggplants are rare, and only Jishi Medicine Hall in the south of the city and Huichunji Medicine Hall in the east of the city sell them, and whoever buys them can buy as much as possible." Record, go check it!"

Ji Yuxian slightly bent his lips, "Did you hear clearly?"

Jin Feng responded immediately, "Yes, my subordinates will investigate immediately!"

Su Jiu patted Gu Lao on the shoulder, "Thank you very much!"

Old man Gu glanced at her and walked out, "Okay, it's really none of my business this time, I'm leaving!"

"Mr. Gu, go slowly!" Ji Yuxian said lightly.

Old man Gu snorted, and when he walked past him, he said in a low voice, "That girl smashed a bottle at me, and you paid me for the favor you gave me before."

Ji Yuxian chuckled silently, "I have helped Mr. Gu solve eleven peach blossoms in total, so my wife smashed them casually!"

Old man Gu's eyes widened all of a sudden, he flicked his sleeves and left.

This time Taozi couldn't be as calm as before, her face was pale, she hid behind Ren Yu, waiting nervously.

She had bought this medicine for half a month, and there were people coming and going in the pharmacy every day, so it was impossible for the clerk to remember her.

Everyone waited anxiously. In a blink of an eye, the sky was getting dark, and there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Jin Feng strode in.

"Young Master, Young Madam, the assistant at Jishi Medicine Hall said that half a month ago, someone did go to their store to buy wind eggplants, and they specially asked the assistant to grind them into powder."

Ji Yuxian nodded lightly, "That guy still remembers what the person who bought the medicine looked like."

Jin Feng said, "The subordinates were afraid that he would not be able to describe clearly, so they brought him directly!"

Hearing this, Tao Zi suddenly raised her head in panic, tightly clutching the corner of Ren Yu's clothes.

Ren Yu couldn't help feeling a little flustered, and turned sideways, keeping Taozi behind her.

The clerk from the pharmacy was brought in, and first bowed to Ji Yuxian, "I have met the eldest son, and all the ladies and ladies!"

"Half a month ago, someone bought a car eggplant from you, do you still remember?" Ji Yuxian asked.

The buddy nodded, "I remember, I remember. Some doctors bought this medicine to treat diseases, but ordinary people rarely buy it, so I remember it clearly."

Ji Yuxian's long eyes swept across the room, and said softly, "Then take a look, will the people in this room go to your shop to buy medicine one day?"

"Yes!" The young man was carrying a scent of medicine. Hearing the sound, he raised his head and glanced at the faces of everyone. Suddenly, his eyes stopped, and he turned his head to look at Tao Zi who was hiding behind Ren Yu. He immediately raised his hand and pointed. "It's her! It's her who bought the medicine with the little one!"

Everyone was startled, no one thought that the person who pointed it out was actually a servant girl of the Ren family.

Taozi panicked, and quickly hid behind Ren Yu, "No, it's not me, you've got the wrong person!"

Ji Yuxian's voice was slightly cold, "Can you see clearly?"

The little fellow immediately said, "Your little one is absolutely right. I was waiting to grind the medicine, so I even took a special look at her."

"You talk nonsense! I was wronged! Miss, the servant is wronged!" Tao Zi shook Ren Yu's arm vigorously.

Ren Yu looked at her in panic, and kept hiding behind Mrs. Ren.

Mrs. Ren looked at Taozi in disbelief, and said in shock, "Why, how could it be you?"

It's interesting that the person who killed Ren Zhi'er turned out to be a member of the Ren family.

The second lady's eyes flickered, she didn't say a word, she just swept them around, and finally landed on the panic-stricken Ren Yu, her eyes deepened, she seemed to understand something, she couldn't help but sneered .

"Take her down and fight until you get the trick!" Ji Yuxian's voice was neither soft nor heavy, but it made people feel chills down the spine.

Jin Feng responded and ordered two guards to drag Tao Zi out.

Tao Zi desperately resisted, grabbing Ren Yu's arm and shaking her head, "I didn't, it wasn't me, I was wronged!"

Jin Feng winked at the guards, and the two guards immediately cut Tao Zi's arms back and took her down involuntarily.

Soon Taozi's screams were heard from the yard.

Ren Yu's face was pale, his body trembled slightly, and he said in a low voice, "How could Taozi harm my sister? There must be a misunderstanding!"

The second lady smiled faintly, "That's right, a servant girl who has no enmity with Zhi'er, why did she hurt her?"

Mrs. Ren's eyes were shocked when she heard the words, and she looked down at Ren Yu with cold eyes.

Ren Yu's lower lip turned white from being bitten, and she lowered her head tightly.

At this time, everyone had already moved to the flower hall, and the servants were serving tea. The Ren family members sat with Ji Yuxian, listening to the screams outside the door, each of them looked uglier than the other.

The screams became smaller and smaller, Tao Zi was knocked out and woke up again, still refusing to admit that she bought the medicine.

It was already dark, Su Jiu got up calmly, and quietly went out the door.

In the yard, Taozi was lying on the bench, her buttocks were beaten down, her flesh was bloody and her head was splashed with water. At this moment, her mind was a little blurred, but she gritted her teeth and refused to confess Ren Yu.

Su Jiu went over and said softly, "There's no need to fight!"

Jin Feng came over, "Young Madam!"

Su Jiu nodded, and ordered, "Miss Ren San has already admitted that it was this servant girl who instigated her to buy medicine to poison the third young lady, and it was this maid who made the idea of ​​beating ghosts and scaring the third young lady that night. , directly picked the tendons of the hands and feet, and sold them to a brothel!"

Su Jiu's voice was not loud, but it was enough for Taozi to hear clearly.

Tao Zi trembled all over, raised her head vigorously, and when she heard Su Jiu's words, she really thought that Ren Yu had blamed her, otherwise how could Su Jiu know about pretending to be a ghost to scare Ren Zhi'er that day.

She tried her best not to betray Ren Yu, but Ren Yu pushed her out to protect herself.

Taozi felt chills in her heart, and seeing that the guard really brought the knife, she suddenly lost her position, rolled down from the wooden stool, and crawled vigorously to Su Jiu's feet, "Your maidservant is wronged, and your maidservant buys medicine and poisons you, it's all young ladies." The servant just obeyed the order, and let the snowball hit the window to scare the third young lady that day, the young lady ordered the servant to do it, the servant knows it is wrong, please forgive me!"

Su Jiu squatted down and smiled faintly, "But your lady said you did it all, so who do I listen to?"

"Your servant is really wronged. You can confront the young lady, but I just ask the young lady to save your servant!" Tao Zi yelled in panic.

Su Jiu nodded, stood up and ordered, "Bring her in!"

Jin Feng immediately had Tao Zi carried into the house.

The door opened, and everyone in the room turned their heads to look over. Taozi was thrown on the ground, trembling with pain, knocking his head on the ground repeatedly, "Master, Madam, Eldest Young Master, this servant is really following the order of the third lady. What I did was all Miss San's idea, and the servants are only doing things according to orders."

Everyone's expressions changed, and the Ren family turned to look at Ren Yu in shock, "Yu'er, how could you do such a thing?"

Ren Yu took a step back in fear, "No, this girl wronged my daughter!"

Ji Yuxian said, "Your third lady told you to do everything, tell me everything, as long as it is true, I will protect you from death!"

"Yes, yes!" After Tao Zi hurriedly entered the mansion, Ren Yu listened to what Ren's parents said, and soon after entering Ji's mansion, she was moved and asked her to buy wind eggplants, and mix them in soup and medicine to feed Ren Zhi'er every day.Afterwards, she let Xueqiu hit the window and hit a ghost, scaring Ren Zhier, making Xueqiu neigh at night, the sound of a cat was like a baby, so Ren Zhier became more and more paranoid, having nightmares every day, suspecting that Xie Ying came to claim her life.

Not only that, but Ren Yu also deliberately prepared a blood-stained handkerchief in advance, and showed it to Ren Zhier after she coughed, making Ren Zhier think that she was coughing up blood and was about to die.

Ren Yu deliberately misled Nianxiu to spread the news about Su Jiu being an evildoer who killed Xie Ying and Ren Zhi'er in the mansion.

Taozi cried and told all the things Ren Yu had done.

The Ren family members were shocked. They really couldn't believe that their innocent and lively little daughter would have such vicious thoughts. Moreover, when they were at home before, their sisters had a very good relationship.

There was a moment of silence in the room, only the low sobbing of Taozi was heard.

The second lady sighed, "So that's how it is. After a long time of trouble, it's your own family!"

Ren Changming's face was ashen, and he said angrily, "What a misfortune for the family!"

After finishing speaking, he flicked his sleeves angrily, turned around and walked out the door.

Mrs. Ren turned around, raised her hand, and slapped Ren Yu's face with a "slap", throwing her to the ground, trembling with anger, "She is your sister, you are so vicious!"

Ren Yu threw herself on the ground, covering her face with her hands and crying loudly, without a face to see anyone.

Mrs. Ren's body trembled, she bowed slightly to Ji Yuxian, and said in a choked voice, "We are the ones who have no way to teach daughters, which killed Zhi'er and disturbed the people in the family. After all, Zhi'er is from Ji's family. If Ren Yu killed Zhi'er, if the Ji family reported to the officials to arrest her, we would never complain."

When Ren Yu heard this, she rushed over, hugged Mrs. Ren's leg and cried loudly, "Mother, my daughter is confused, my daughter knows her mistake, don't report to the police, my daughter doesn't want to go to jail!"

Ji Yuxian stood up wearily, and said, "Since the matter has been investigated, Mrs. Ren will take my daughter back. How to deal with it is up to you."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Su Jiu and stretched out his hand, "Madam, let's go back too!"

Su Jiu put her hand on his palm, got up and walked out.

The second lady glanced at Ren Yu who was on the ground, shook her head and sighed softly, and led her away.

In a blink of an eye, only the Ren family and some servants from Tangfeng Courtyard were left in the room.

However, such a scene seemed to embarrass the Ren family even more.

"Mother, my daughter knows her mistake, please forgive her once!" Ren Yu was still crying and begging.

Mrs. Ren stood there, wishing she could slap herself on the face. She blamed Ren Yu for being vicious, and also blamed them for being too scheming. They wanted to marry Ren Yu into the Ji Mansion, which caused such a catastrophe!

Now that Ren Zhi'er was killed, and today's news got out, even if Ren Yu wasn't arrested and gained the reputation of poisoning her own sister, I'm afraid her life would be ruined.

It was already dark, and on the way back to the main courtyard, Ji Yuxian held Su Jiu's hand tightly, and said softly, "Are you hungry?"

It's been almost a whole day since morning.

Su Jiu shook her head, her delicate face was dazed, she still couldn't understand why Ren Yu wanted to kill her own sister?
Just to marry into the Ji Mansion?
"What's the matter?" Ji Yuxian saw that Su Jiu's expression was a little strange, so he stopped and turned to ask.

Su Jiu said calmly, "Ren Zhi'er shouldn't die! In fact, I knew that Ren Yu was responsible for the haunting in Ren Zhi'er's room that day, but I didn't say anything. If I did, maybe Ren Yu wouldn't be able to succeed!"

At that time, she found that there were white hairs on the window paper, and she guessed that Ren Yu was playing tricks to scare Ren Zhi'er.

She was surprised that Ren Yu would do this, and thought it was a matter between their sisters, so she didn't say much.

And she didn't expect that Ren Yu would really kill Ren Zhi'er ruthlessly.

Ji Yuxian raised his hand and caressed Su Jiu's cheek. Under the shadow of the moon, his eyes were gentle, and he said in a low voice, "The evil in people's hearts is far beyond your imagination. If you tell me, Ren Zhi'er will not only not believe it, but also think that you have learned from it." Instigation. After all, between you and Ren Yu, she is more willing to trust Xin Yu."

Su Jiu nodded, "I know!"

She also thought of this at the time, so she didn't care.

"So, don't think about it, it has nothing to do with you!"

Su Jiu hummed, and then asked suddenly, "Ren Zhi'er is your concubine, are you not sad at all when she dies?"

Ji Yuxian's lips pursed into a smile, calm and indifferent, he took Su Jiu's hand and continued to walk forward, "I'm only sad because of her death, and Madam will blame herself!"

"The person who blames himself should be you. If it wasn't for you, why would Ren Yu want to marry into the Ji Mansion?" Su Jiu snorted coldly.

She slightly raised her head to look at Ji Yuxian, looked at the man's handsome side face like an evildoer, and shook her head slightly. It was said in the book that beauty hurts people, so it turns out that a man who is too beautiful can also hurt people!

Ji Yuxian smiled lightly, and said innocently, "Ma'am, you don't have to look at my husband like this. I've learned a lesson for my husband, so I won't take concubines from now on!"

Su Jiu shrugged, and whispered, "What does it matter to me whether you take a concubine or not?"

Ji Yuxian glanced at her, and said with a smile, "Little girl without a conscience!"

Su Jiu was displeased, "Don't call me a little girl!"

"What's that called?" Ji Yuxian hugged Su Jiu up, his wonderful eyes sparkled, hiding a cunning shadow, "Call you Jiuer, little Jiuer!"

"Don't bark, don't bark at all!"

"Little Jiu'er!"

"Ji Yuxian, don't think I dare not beat you up!"

"Okay, don't bark, call again on the bed!"

……

The second lady stayed in Tangfeng Courtyard for a day, and she was a little tired, so she went back to the courtyard and ate something, then leaned on the low couch and closed her eyes to rest.

Shao Yao rubbed her legs beside her, and said in a low voice, "If the second lady is tired, go to bed and rest!"

The second lady shook her head with half-closed eyes, "I can't sleep, Ren Zhier's death is always flashing in front of my lady's eyes."

Shao Yao frowned, "Ren Zhi'er was killed by her sister, it has nothing to do with Madam."

"I know, but I still feel that Ren Zhi'er's death was a bit tragic." The second lady said quietly.

"I didn't expect the second young lady and the third young lady to die one after another." Shao Yao sighed.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that either." The second lady paused, opened her eyes and looked out the window, and said softly, "Our young lady is really amazing!"

Shao Yao was taken aback, "What does it have to do with the Young Madam?"

Xie Ying committed adultery and hanged herself, Ren Zhi'er was killed by her sister, it has nothing to do with the Young Madam!
The second lady smiled gloomily, "It is precisely because of this that I said that our young lady is amazing. Is it really such a coincidence that two young ladies died in succession in the mansion? It was even more sudden. Ever since she died, Ren Zhi'er has never been able to get sick, and she always dreams of Xie Ying demanding her life. If she has no guilt in her heart, why should she be afraid of Xie Ying?"

Shao Yao came to a sudden, "Could there be another reason for their death?"

The second lady stopped talking, closed her eyes, and sighed slightly.

Shao Yao also knew what was interesting and stopped asking, but the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.

……

The Ren family left and took Ren Yu and Taozi back together. If the Ji government didn't pursue it, they would naturally not report it to the officials. No matter what, Ren Yu was their daughter after all.

Nianxiu was a dowry girl, so it was impossible for her to return to Ren's house. After Ren Zhi'er was buried, the second wife beat her [-] times and threw her out of the house on the charge of deceiving the crowd and trying to harm the mistress.

When such a thing happened, the people in the mansion talked about it for a few days, and gradually, it faded away.

In the last few days of June, it rained heavily for several consecutive days. The moat outside the city swelled and flooded a lot of nearby farmland. In order to prevent the famine from rising food prices, people outside the city went to the city to buy food.

Chang Huan made preparations in advance, and reserved some grain in advance to sell to the people who entered the city.

In the city, Zhufu

When Zhu Hecheng came back from his own grain store, he lost his temper severely, and several storekeepers of the grain store stood aside, not daring to vent their anger.

"Everyone outside the city goes to the city to buy grain. Why do we sell so little grain at the grain store? It's not even as good as usual!" Zhu Hecheng slammed the account book on the table with force.

Several shopkeepers lowered their heads, and one of them said in a low voice, "The price of our grain has increased by three percent in the past few days, but Qingyu Commercial Bank has dropped by one cent. The common people have gone to the commercial store to buy grain."

"It's Qingyu Trading Company again!" Zhu Hecheng said coldly, with an ugly expression on his face, "They are idiots if they don't raise the price for such a good opportunity, but also lower the price?"

"I heard that Qingyu Commercial Bank transferred grain in Nanyang one month in advance, just to prevent Liang Tian from being flooded after the flood season in June, and the people are anxious."

"That sounds good! Are they businessmen or saviors?" Zhu Hecheng snorted coldly.

Everyone dared not answer.

"What good ideas do you have?" Zhu Hecheng took a few deep breaths, and took a slow drink of tea.

The shopkeeper of one of the grain shops whispered, "Otherwise, let's lower the price too!"

"That's right, it's rainy and rainy now, so much grain can't be sold together, I'm afraid it's going to be damp!" another shopkeeper said.

"Is there no other way than to lower the price?" Zhu Hecheng frowned and said displeasedly.

He could have taken this opportunity to make a lot of money, but now that his mouth is full of fat, he is naturally not reconciled.

Several shopkeepers frowned and shook their heads.

Seeing this, Zhu Hecheng felt more and more depressed, and waved his hands, "Everyone get down, get down!"

Several shopkeepers hurriedly resigned and filed out from the study.

Zhu Hecheng leaned back on the large carved wooden chair, closed his eyes and meditated.

It's all Qingyu Commercial Bank, it's really abominable to have a foot in everything!
At this time, the door of the study room slammed, and a man in a golden and blue robe walked in. Without speaking, he sat directly on the chair with his legs crossed, looking lazy.

Zhu Hecheng opened his eyes and saw his son's incompetent appearance, his brows became more and more wrinkled, and he said unhappily, "Where are you fooling around again, he smells like powder!"

"Father!" the man with thick eyebrows and fine eyes, his hair combed smoothly, snorted, "I want to take a concubine, you give me 2000 taels of silver!"

Hearing this, Zhu Hecheng almost fainted from anger. He was already bored in his heart, and at this moment he scolded without hesitation, "I only know how to be addicted to women every day. If you can make a better future, it depends on Ji Ze from your aunt's house." , he won the first prize at a young age, and look at you, you are nothing but a waste!"

Zhu Zhi's face suddenly fell, and he became angry from embarrassment, "Compare me with that nerd, no matter how good he is, he is still a bastard!"

"How about the bastard? You can't compare with Ji Yuxian, you are even worse than Ji Yuxian!" Zhu Hecheng shouted.

Zhu Zhi stood up abruptly, "I'm a waste, and I was born by you!"

"You, you!" Zhu Hecheng's face turned blue, trembling, "Get out of here! Get out!"

"Get out! If you don't want money, you think I'd like to come back to see your face!" Zhu Zhi glanced at his father, slammed the door, and strode out.

Zhu Hecheng fell down on the chair with a plop, his eyes rolled white with anger, and he shouted Nizi!

Zhu Zhi came out of the study, went straight out of Zhu's mansion, and told the coachman, "Go to Chunhualou!"

It was noon, there were few people in Chunhua Building, and a few girls and regular customers were flirting in the lobby on the first floor.

Chunhua Building is the same as Zuihuan Pavilion, it is a famous flower building in Shengjing City, Yu Jiaofeng, the top brand in Zhuzhi Obsessed Building, lingered in the building for more than a month, and spent thousands of taels of silver here, today I asked Zhu Hecheng for money He also wanted to redeem Yu Jiaofeng's body and marry her back home as a concubine.

As soon as Zhu Zhi came, the old bustard greeted him like a living God of Wealth, the folds on his smiling face could catch flies,

"Oh, Mr. Zhu, you are here. Miss Yu was looking for you just now. If I don't see you for a while, I will get lovesick!" Zhu Zhi smiled with a pale face, "I went home, Now go see Jiaofeng."

The old bustard ordered his servants to prepare food and snacks for Yu Jiaofeng's room, followed Zhu Zhi upstairs, and said with a sneer, "Master Zhu, the gold shop that you ordered the little one to make for Miss Yu two days ago, the gold shop will come to your door today. I’m asking for money, a total of 600 taels, Mr. Zhu, look.”

朱质
He rubbed his nose, "I don't have a lot of money these days, so it will be a few days, a few days."

"Master Zhu, don't bully me. Everyone in the capital doesn't know that Master Zhu is the eldest son of the Zhu family. Whoever has money, you can't do without!" The old bustard said with a smile.

Zhu Zhi's face darkened, "I can't spoil you, so what if I wait a few days? What are you talking about?"

"Yes, yes!" The old bustard gave a dry laugh, a look of disdain flashed in his shrewd and sophisticated eyes, watching Zhu Zhi walk out of the courtyard, he turned around and left with a cold snort.

As Zhu Zhi walked towards Yu Fengjiao's room, he spat bitterly, "A dog's eyes look down on people!"

While cursing, a man in white came over from the corner of Hualou, holding a folding fan in his hand, elegant and elegant.

Zhu Zhi changed his expression, and greeted him with a smile, "Hey, isn't this Mr. Shangguan? Long time no see!"

The man smiled faintly, "Young Master Zhu!"

"Master Shangguan has been taking care of Jiangnan's business for the Ji Mansion, when did you return to Beijing?" Zhu Zhi squinted his small eyes and smiled, the corners of his mouth were cracked, and his tone was deliberately raised. The male duck's voice made people feel very uncomfortable. .

"I went back to Beijing yesterday, and I'll be leaving in two days! I heard that Mr. Zhu has entered Miss Fengjiao's boudoir. Congratulations, Mr. Zhu!" Shangguan Yunkun waved a paper fan, with an elegant smile and a bookish look, not like a businessman, but like a romantic wit .

Knowing that Shangguan Yunkun had heard the words from downstairs just now, Zhu Zhi had a coy smile on his face, "Mr. Shangguan has Miss Jin Ming's heart and regards him as a confidant. This is a blessing that no one else can ask for."

Shangguan Yunkun curled his lips into a smile, and shouted softly to the downstairs, "Mom, come up!"

"Hey! Here we come!" Seeing Shangguan calling her, the old bustard hurriedly responded, and ran up with a smile on her face, "What orders does Mr. Shangguan have?"

Shangguan Yunkun handed over a bank note, and said in a low voice, "There are 2000 taels of silver on it, and Miss Fengjiao's jewelry is considered to be a gift from Mr. Zhu for Mr. Zhu!"

The old bustard's eyes lit up, but he didn't dare to answer, subconsciously looking at Zhu Zhi.

Zhu Zhi grinned happily, "Young Master Shangguan, what does this mean?"

"Young master Zhu is the nephew of Ji's mansion, you don't need to see anyone if you have a little money!" Shangguan Yunkun smiled elegantly.

"Oh, what's so embarrassing?" Zhu Zhi rubbed his palms together, and the expression on his face became more affectionate than before, "Then today I'll serve wine for Mr. Shangguan!"

Seeing this, the old bustard hurriedly stepped forward to take the bank note, put it in her bosom, laughed and said in agreement, "I'll arrange food and drink right away!"

"No need!" Shangguan Yunkun closed his folding fan and said with a light smile, "Shangguan still has something to do, let's have a drink with Young Master Zhu some other day!"

"Okay, okay! I'll be the host some other day, and Mr. Shangguan will definitely reward me!" Zhu Zhi smiled brightly.

Shangguan Yunkun nodded slightly, said goodbye to Zhu Zhi, turned around and went downstairs.

As soon as he left, Zhu Zhi looked at the bustard, and changed into the previous high-spirited appearance again, and snorted coldly, "Does my master still owe you money?"

"No, no more!" The old bustard grinned.

"Is there an extra 400 taels to make us Fengjiao two good clothes!" Zhu Zhi ordered.

"Yes, yes, Master Zhu, don't worry, I'll go choose satin for Feng Jiao right now!"

Zhu Zhi smiled triumphantly, and went to look for Yu Fengjiao arrogantly.

Here, Shangguan Yunkun left Chunhualou, got into a carriage and went to Ji's Mansion.

Old Yu led him in, Shangguan Yunkun looked around and asked, "Where is your young lady?"

Yu Laoban lowered his head and said softly, "Young Madam is usually not in the mansion in the afternoon!"

Shangguan Yunkun raised his eyebrows and walked straight to Ji Yuxian's study without saying a word.

At this time Ji Yuxian was taking a lunch break, seeing Shangguan Yunkun coming, Jin Feng greeted An, turned around and said, "My lord, the Shangguan steward is here!"

After a moment of silence, Ji Yuxian's low voice came from the room, "Let him in!"

Shangguan Yunkun laughed, pushed the door open and entered.

In the study room, Ji Yuxian was lazily leaning on the low couch. He just woke up with a tired expression on his face. He raised his hand and gently rubbed his forehead, and said in a low voice, "Go see your confidante first when you come back, and only now do you think of me." ?”

Yu Lao brought the tea and bowed to leave.

Yun Kun took a sip of tea, his brows were warm, and he was worried, "She's sick."

Ji Yuxian put down the hand rubbing his forehead, and glanced over, "Is it serious?"

"It's all right now!" Yun Kun said.

Ji Yuxian nodded, "If you are worried, why not take her with you."

"If she is willing to go with me, why should I be so worried?" Yun Kun smiled helplessly.

This matter seemed to be a heartache in his heart, he didn't want to bring it up again, and changed the subject, "Just now in Chunhualou, I met the eldest son of the Zhu family, because I didn't have money to embarrass the old bustard, I gave him 2000 taels of silver, Count it on your account!"

Ji Yuxian raised her seductive phoenix eyes, and said with a light smile, "You are so generous in giving money, why do you count on me?"

"First, he is a relative of your Ji family; second, the 2000 taels of silver will definitely not be wasted by you." Yun Kun smiled meaningfully.

Ji Yuxian glanced at him, turned his black eyes, and looked at him thoughtfully.
