I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 539
"Hey, the third child's life is poor, so if he went earlier, he would be relieved sooner!"

As she said that, tears welled up in her cloudy eyes, as if she was about to shed tears.

Chai Xiong didn't see the change in the old lady's expression at this time, so he said anxiously,
"But mother, what should we do about Chen Ji's matter!"

The sadness that the old lady had just brewed was instantly dispelled by his words.

She said angrily,
"You guys have been discussing this matter since half a month ago, haven't you figured out a way yet!"

Chai Xiong was a little speechless, and quickly shrank his neck, not daring to say anything more.

In fact, Chen Ji's matter is very easy to solve.

As long as they are willing to pay off Chen Ji's loan, then Chen Ji will belong to the Chai family forever.

But the two of them were unwilling to pay the money, so they dragged the matter until now.

In their view, the third lady was responsible for the debt, so she should settle it.

They want Chen Ji, but they don't want to be burdened with a loan. This kind of good thing that they take for granted may only be thought of by short-sighted white-eyed wolves like the Chai family.

"Mother, if that little slut Lin Dai knows that the third child has gone, she doesn't know that she will go crazy. We have to guard against it!"

The old lady was still angry, and said sharply,
"Prevention? What defense do you use? The third child is gone, and her only support in the Chai family is gone. Do you still expect her to be willing to help the Chai family make money and pay off the debts!"

Chai Xiong said a little angrily,

"Anyway, she is also the daughter-in-law of our Chai family, so she can turn the world upside down."

The old lady hates the way that iron is not steel,

"Second brother, second child, you really think that Lin Dai's coquettish hoof is a good character to get along with, but you don't know how many wild men she hooked up with behind her back. If she really wanted to plot against the Chai family, I'm afraid the Chai family would have disappeared long ago. exists."

Chai Xiong argued unconvinced,
"She is a mere woman. What can she do? It's not certain whether she can have a full meal away from the Chai family. I don't believe she has any ability to threaten the Chai family."

Chen Liu had been reporting directly to the old lady before, and there were some things that the old lady had never told Chai Xiong and his brothers.

So it is reasonable for them not to know the methods of the third lady.

But the old lady knew all about it. The third lady and Li Tian co-organized the auction and did not hide it from the Chai family.

The old lady also knew that Li Tian existed.

At first she just thought that Li Tian was just one of the many "concubines" of the third wife, so she didn't take it seriously.

But since she inquired and heard that Li Tian's income was nearly 700 million taels in a treasure competition, she completely panicked.

The Chai family is rich, but counting all their assets, it is only five or six million.

Compared with others, let alone the Chai family, even if they stand with them, they are not qualified.

If the third lady can really get the help of such a person, it will be really easy to destroy the Chai family.

She never told the Chai family about her worries, and kept them silently in her heart, as if she didn't know them at all, for fear that something would really annoy the revenge of the third wife who is now out of control.

But at this moment, the third young master was dead, and Chai Xiong and the others were still thinking of draining the last bit of value from the widow. Not to mention the third wife, even the old master couldn't stand this kind of behavior.

But she has nothing to do at this time, and she doesn't know how many times she has persuaded the two brothers Chai Xiong before.

But they didn't listen to what they said, and they didn't even want to pay tens of thousands of taels of silver.

The old lady was so outraged by Chai Xiong's words that she almost couldn't breathe, and she gasped for a long time before she eased up a little.

She wished she could beat this bastard to death with a cane now.

"Listen to what stupid words you are talking about. If Lin Dai hears these words, you are forcing her to break with the Chai family."

Chai Xiong said disapprovingly,

"The matter is now like this, no matter how you fix it, it won't help. I think it's not as good as it is, kah..."

He made a gesture of cutting his throat with a ferocious face, the intention was already very obvious.

The old lady's eyes darkened, she suddenly picked up the crutches, and threw it out, hitting Chai Xiong on the forehead with the crutches just right.

Immediately the beating made blood flow from him, and he grinned his teeth in pain, and said in a puzzled tone,

"Mother, what are you doing? Now Lin Dai is the hidden danger of our Chai family. You can't play with your son if you are angry."

"I just want to wake you up, you bastard. Lin Dai deserves to die, but no matter what she does, she has worked hard to help the Chai family for several years. Even if she dies,
It also cannot be done by members of the Chai family, otherwise, if you let outsiders see it, no one would dare to continue doing business with the Chai family. "

Seeing that the old lady did not object, Chai Xiong became even more excited.

"Since the Chai family is inconvenient to do it, let's find an outsider to do it. Anyway, she has incurred so many romantic debts, and there are many women in the capital who want her to die. No one can suspect us."

The old lady had calmed down at this time, and she also understood that it might be the best solution to let Lin Dai disappear at this time.

But at the same time, she also knew that even if the third wife died, Chen Ji still had to pay off his debts, otherwise, when the time came, Chen Ji would still have nothing to do with the Chai family.

No matter how they do it, the first thing they need to do is to get Chen Ji in their hands.

So before Chen Ji got his hands, the third lady couldn't die.

The old lady said in a deep voice,

"I heard that that little slut, Lin Dai, made a lot of money by helping people organize the Liuli Treasure Competition some time ago.

Since none of you are willing to pay off Chen Ji's debt, let's find a way to get Lin Dai to spit out the money..."

As soon as he heard that the third lady still had money in hand, Chai Xiong suddenly said with bright eyes,
"Mother, really, how much does she have in her hand! This little bitch really has evil intentions, and she has learned how to hide money secretly!"

The old lady seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and she sighed weakly,

"I don't know the exact amount, but it's estimated to be 7 to [-] taels, which is enough to repay the debts of the Chen family."

Hearing that there is so much money, Chai Xiong's expression became even more excited. Regardless of the fact that the blood on his forehead was still gushing out, he rushed to the old lady's side and said flatteringly,

"Mother, let me handle this matter, don't let the third child know."

What is his idea, how could the old lady not know, helplessly said,
"That's fine, one more thing is worse than one less thing, then you can do it yourself, remember to clean the beginning and end, and don't leave any excuses for outsiders."

After getting the old lady's consent, Chai Xiong got up immediately, with a trace of misery flashing across his face,
"Mother, don't worry, she is just a bitch, and my son has plenty of means to make her submit."
