The melon-eating system, everyone listens to my voice

When Shen Zhao heard this, he realized that it had come to this point and there was no reason not to eat melons, so he continued with great interest.

【eat! 】

[Host, Qiu Hongzhuo got my sister pregnant! ]

Shen Zhao raised his eyebrows and asked back.

[Sister? ]

[That's not the case. She is the adopted daughter of the Qiu family, but she was raised as a child bride by his eldest brother.

The Qiu family's parents haven't said it explicitly yet, but the Qiu family's eldest son and adopted daughter have already fallen in love with each other.

As a result, Qiu Hongzhuo went out and got drunk with his friends, and the highlight was going to a brothel.

In the end, he didn't mess around in the brothel, but he went home and stayed with the adopted daughter. 】

Shen Zhao cursed directly, saying that this man was with a woman who was suspected to be his future sister-in-law and even made her pregnant.

[The key point is that Qiu Hongzhuo has already come to this point, and he doesn't even want to marry an adopted daughter, so he lets his mother force his eldest brother to recognize the child.]

Shen Zhao imagined the subsequent plot and asked calmly.

[Did the child survive the birth? He is already several years old.]

[Host, you are so smart. You are already three years old and still a boy. ]

Guagua praised, applauded, and danced, feeling proud to be bound to such a host.

Shen Zhao pretended to be modest and calm.

[Host, what are you going to do?]

【Trick him a little. 】

Shen Zhao waved the fan that he got down from the carriage and fanned himself gently, looking handsome and elegant.

Aunt Zhang is unromantic. It's not hot here! What are you doing with the fan?

Shen Zhao sprained his ankle and immediately put away his fan, turning his attention back to the competition stage.

"Brother Qiu, I heard that you already have a three-year-old child at home. Why do you still want to become Mr. Shi's son-in-law?"

The crowd was immediately in an uproar, and Aunt Zhang was the first to respond.

"Mr. Qiu, if what this gentleman said is right, aren't you cheating on your relatives?"

After saying this indignantly, Aunt Zhang turned around and asked quietly,

"What's your last name? This young man sounds so strange."

In fact, Aunt Zhang felt that if what he said was correct, it would save Miss Shi from suffering.

This young man has made great contributions. If I knew his last name, wouldn't it seem like I'm very familiar with him? Then I can probably benefit from it.

You may not have money to thank the matchmaker, but you must have money to express your gratitude!

Mr. Shi and Miss Shi also changed their expressions. If they really had a child and still came to participate in the competition, it meant that they did not take the Shi family seriously.

Moreover, since a scholar could do such a shameful thing, Mr. Shi would definitely report it to the government to teach Qiu Hongzhuo a lesson.

Mr. Shi held up his long beard and asked gently with a smile,

"Mr. Qiu, do you have any response to what Mr. Shen said?

I also want to know. After all, Yue Niang is my only daughter, so I naturally hope that she will live a peaceful and happy life in the second half of her life."

Qiu Hongzhuo didn't know whether it was because of his good mental quality or because he had already arranged everything at home, but he didn't show any strong expression in response to Shen Zhao's questioning and Shi Yuanwai's pressure.

He bowed to the people around him, performing the etiquette of a scholar, and spoke gently.

"Mr. Shi, Miss Shi, I am twenty years old this year. I am concentrating on the imperial examination and have not yet married. I have no regrets about this.

I don’t know where Mr. Shen heard these words, or maybe Mr. Shen also wants to marry Miss Shi.

After all, Miss Shi is beautiful, intelligent, filial, and virtuous, a lady of good character that a gentleman would love to marry."

Qiu Hongzhuo would not say what came next, because the onlookers would automatically imagine whether Shen Zhao was jealous that he could marry into the Shi family.

[Host, this guy is really shameless. He doesn't mind recruiting a son-in-law at all. It's supposed to be a woman getting married. He doesn't think that mentioning the word "marry" all the time undermines the dignity of a scholar.]

Shen Zhao looked at the calm Qiu Hongzhuo.

Since she said that, his eyes haven't flickered, nor has he clenched his fists, nor has he shown any nervousness or small movements.

[Guagua, this shows that this person has great ambitions and is extremely patient.

If he succeeds in marrying into the Shi family, I'm afraid within a few years, the Shi family's assets will be transferred to the Qiu family. 】

[Host, beat him up. Just a few words from him have made everyone suspicious of you. How despicable.]

Even Aunt Zhang, who had brought Shen Zhao with her, walked several steps away silently. No one seemed stupid, so of course they could hear what Qiu Hongzhuo was trying to say.

Mr. Shi was not someone who was easily dealt with. Shen Zhao saw the gleam in his eyes that occasionally flashed across his face and knew that he did not trust Qiu Hongzhuo that much.

Shen Zhao simply added fuel to the fire. She said indifferently, as if she had not taken Qiu Hongzhuo's words of assurance to heart.

"Qiu Hongzhuo, your family is in Tianshui Village, and your child is still being raised by the Qiu family, but he is nominally your eldest brother's child.

Do you think that if Mr. Shi really sends someone to investigate, and the eldest brother who was forced by you to acknowledge the child, can help you keep the secret?

Not only did you create a rift between your eldest brother and your eldest sister-in-law, but you also made that child unloved by his father and mother.

Do you think you can be called a scholar?"

Without waiting for Qiu Hongzhuo to refute, Shen Zhao had already explained everything clearly. If Mr. Shi wanted to know, he would just use more tricks and he would know what he was supposed to know.

The mission was accomplished. Shen Zhao took the hundred coins, gave ten coins to the old lady, and left under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

"Master, Master"

She heard an anxious voice behind her, and Shen Zhao was the only one in the middle of the street, so she looked back.

He was a man who looked like a manager. His face was covered with sweat. He stopped in front of Shen Zhao, panting.

"Sir, I am the chief steward of the Shi family. Our master is very grateful for your righteous words, so he asked me to give you this five hundred taels of silver to thank you."

The butler was afraid that Shen Zhao would not accept it, so he said a lot of polite words.

Faced with the silver note delivered to his door, Shen Zhao of course accepted it.

She sincerely thanked Mr. Shi and wished Miss Shi to find a good man as soon as possible, then put the five hundred taels of silver into her sleeve.

The steward thought that this young man, who was also a scholar, would refuse, so being more direct would save trouble.

He completed the task assigned by his master, and both of them were happy.

Shen Zhao returned to the carriage and found that the escort and the coachman were gone. He guessed that they must have gone to have dinner.

Shen Zhao touched his stomach and seemed to be hungry too.

I just happened to go to a wedding banquet on the other street to fill my stomach and share another melon with you.

In this way, Shen Zhao was either eating melons or sharing melons along the way.

She has done a lot of good things, so there should be no objection to the fact that Shen Zhao is a good person.

【Host, I totally agree. 】

Shen Zhao was satisfied and spent ten points to buy Gua Gua the clothes it wanted.

Since the melon-eating system was upgraded to the advanced stage, it has had a conscious form. It is a soft and cute fox, very adorable.

When Shen Zhao was bored in the carriage, he would close his eyes and enter his consciousness, scratching the fox's tail and touching its smooth and soft fur to entertain himself.

You know what, even though it's a conscious form, it feels very comfortable.

Shen Zhao had a lot of fun.
