[Red Mansion] Adopted daughter and child
Chapter 73
Lin Liuben was asking casually, because all she encountered after time travel was that she wanted a son, so she originally planned to designate the gender of the child as a boy.
Unexpectedly, this Xu Jiu did not take the usual path and wanted to have a daughter.
Lin Liu is a woman herself, so naturally she will not be prejudiced against women, but this world is indeed very unfriendly to women, and having a boy is more useful for Xu Jiu's status stability.
Xu Jiu was a little dazed: "What's wrong? Can't you? Or, you can only give birth to a boy?" She frowned, "If that's the case, it's better not to appoint it. It depends on my own luck."
It sounds like Mrs. Xu really wants a daughter.
Lin Liu smiled, and naturally fulfilled her wish.
After letting go of her hand, she said with a smile: "It's not that you can't designate a girl, but I'm a little surprised. If you really want to seize the property of your husband's family, don't you need to have a son to stabilize your position?"
In the ancient world, the practice of daughters inheriting the family business was not popular.
Xu Jiu's eyes were blank: "But am I not the shopkeeper for you? The family business is not mine, so why give birth to a son to harm someone else's girl."
"So, you just gave birth to a daughter and let other people's sons harm you?" Lin Liu was shocked by Mrs. Xu's thoughts, she couldn't control it for a while, and said what was in her heart, and she couldn't help but regret after speaking, "I'm sorry! I don't mean to blame you, but I was too shocked to make a slip of the tongue..."
Mrs. Xu was not angry, instead, she glanced at some wise words and showed a suddenly realized expression: "So I should still have a son?"
But in a flash she laughed again, "Although it sounds right, I still want a daughter more. Let's forget about my son. He is too naughty and I can't control it. On the contrary, my daughter is not afraid of being bullied. I can always protect it. If someone dares to bully my daughter, I will hit the door with a knife."
Before Lin Liu felt it, Chen Hu beside him couldn't help swallowing: "Madam really likes to joke, haha, haha..."
The laughter sounded rather awkward.
Lin Liu looked at Chen Hu speechlessly, then looked at Xu Jiu: "Since Mrs. Xu has such an idea, she must be able to get what she wants."
Xu Jiu nodded: "Daughter should be well-behaved. As long as she doesn't marry, she will be favored by thousands of people at home, so she won't be bullied." After she finished speaking, she laughed, "So I should save some money for her."
After bidding farewell to Xu Jiu, Lin Liu finally took the time to ask Chen Hu: "I just landed, and I haven't packed my luggage yet. Why are you so anxious to bring me to see Mrs. Xu?" After a pause, she tentatively opened her mouth, "Is it because of what happened, or because of Mrs. Xu's mental state?"
Mrs. Xu's various reactions just now seemed a little abnormal.
I always feel that her reaction is half a beat slower than normal.
Chen Hu and Lin Liu were not very close. Although they often exchanged letters, they only talked about business matters and never touched on their private life.Most of his impressions of Lin Liu actually came from Ji Song.
Naturally, when Ji Song talked about Lin Liu, he always had good things to say.
But even so, Lin Liu only met Xu Jiu once, and he was so keenly aware of something wrong without saying a few words, which surprised him: "Just a few months ago, Mrs. Xu's father passed away. The mother followed soon after, and her natal family is now controlled by her half-brother who doesn't have much affection for her, making her life in her husband's family more and more difficult."
"It is also because of this that Mrs. Xu wants a child more urgently than before. It's just that she was bullied by her husband's concubine for a long time, and his husband was extremely indifferent to her. Her mental state is not good. She also heard non-existent ravings and noises, she saw a doctor, and the doctor said she had a heart attack."
Chen Hu glanced at Lin Liu: "I thought she wanted a child too much, and was also worried that Mrs. Xu would be really ill if you came late, so she didn't say hello and directly picked you up to meet Mrs. Xu. Meet."
Lin Liu suddenly realized that there was really something wrong with her mental state.
She waved her hand: "You are also kind, and it is for the good of our business. You did the right thing. There is nothing to criticize."
Chen Hu bowed and saluted, more and more agreeing with Lin Liu.
Lin Liu was busy all the way, and after dealing with Mrs. Xu's affairs, she naturally wanted to go back to rest.
But before she left, she did not forget to remind Chen Hu: "You remember to write down the list of the family members of the grain merchants in the Jiangnan area that have been negotiated. I have two or three months to deal with these matters this time. I'm leaving Jinling and going back to Gusu."
Chen Hu also knew that the eldest son of the Lin family had won the top talent examination and was about to take the provincial examination, so he nodded in agreement.
but……
"I don't know what method did the eldest girl use to get Mrs. Xu pregnant? Or, just now, you gave Mrs. Xu a chance to get pregnant without anyone knowing?" Chen Hu looked cautiously, and said tentatively, "I'm not I want to find out the secret of the eldest girl, but every time you make people pregnant, if you have to meet in person, or even have intimate contact, I am afraid that it will not be long before your method of making people pregnant will be guessed."
Lin Liu was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect this.
She didn't say yes or no, but said with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle Chen, for reminding me."
Chen Hu waved his hand: "Everyone cooperates, I always don't want the big girl to be in danger."
Lin Liu nodded: "If there is nothing else, I'll go back and rest first."
Chen Hu bowed and saluted: "Respectfully send off Miss Lin."
"See you tomorrow."
After finishing speaking, Lin Liu left Chen Hu's mansion directly with a few maidservants, and returned to the yard that he had asked people to buy in advance.
After dinner, Lin Liu went back to the room to wash and sleep after taking a walk in the garden to eat.While lying on the bed, Lin Liu kept thinking about how to hide the fact that "Lin Liu has the ability to make people pregnant".
Chen Hu's reminder was very reasonable. She tried every means to hide the Lin family, and she had done a good job before. If it was because of her own reasons that people suspected of going to the Lin family, wouldn't all her previous efforts be in vain?
But how to do it, she really couldn't think of a good way.
In the previous life, the ability could be stored in the crystal nucleus. At that time, some surviving scientists also invented some weapons that could transform the ability, and those abilities that were used twice did have the previous ability.
But now there are no zombies in this world, so naturally there are no crystal nuclei.
Those weapons that can transform supernatural powers, let alone whether Lin Liu will make them, the manufacturing standards of materials alone cannot be achieved by today's technological level.
She seriously recalled all the information related to supernatural powers in her previous life, and finally pulled out a message in the corner that she didn't know if it was useful——
When the apocalypse first came, because the environment was not so harsh that it could not survive, some people who had activated their abilities were free to use their abilities to do some small and harmless experiments.
Among them is a person with supernatural powers. Xu has read too many novels before the end of the world, so he always feels that jade is a very special material and definitely has a different effect.
He has done countless experiments with jade, one of which is to input his own abilities into jade and want to store it.
But the follow-up result is that although the stored abilities can be reused, they cannot be absorbed by him again, and although jade can store abilities, but after the abilities inside are reused, no matter what quality the jade is, it will eventually reduced to ashes.
That person is considered a rich second generation, and the family's money can't afford such a setup, so he quickly gave up this experiment.
After the news came out, many people also thought that the storage ability of jade was too tasteless——
After all, jade is a mineral, and after thousands of years of consumption, there is not much left, and all jade produced after that is very expensive.Even the richest people can't afford such consumption.
But for Lin Liu, the method of storing powers in jade is very useful for her today.
This means that she can hide herself with jade.
So when they met the next day, Lin Liu handed Chen Hu a jade pendant with ordinary texture and looks ordinary: "Give this jade pendant to Mrs. Xu and tell her that as long as you wear the jade pendant on your body all the time, Not leaving her body, when the jade pendant turns into ashes, it means she is pregnant."
Chen Hu was stunned for a moment: "Just carry the jade pendant close to your body?"
Lin Liu nodded: "Yes, if the jade pendant turns to ashes, it means Mrs. Xu is pregnant."
Chen Hu was amazed: "This is too convenient."
The point is, it's too safe.
Although I don't know if Miss Lin also used this method when trying to get people pregnant (he didn't intend to inquire), but no matter what, Miss Lin's safety is guaranteed.
He also had an explanation to his master.
After Chen Hu left a compiled list, he took Yupei to Li's house.
Chen Hu had come to see Mrs. Xu several times before as the brother of Xu Jiu's natal family, and the concierge recognized him, so he let him in without anyone going in to tell him.
As soon as they met, Chen Hu handed the jade pendant to Xu Jiu directly, and told Mrs. Xu several times about Lin Liu's words.
Mrs. Xu was a little dumbfounded. Only when she saw the jade pendant did her eyes light up: "Mr. Chen, don't worry, I will definitely wear it close to my body in the future."
She stroked Yupei tenderly, as if she was touching her own child.
Chen Hu's eyebrows twitched, and he always felt that Madam Xu's mental state was even worse, and he was a little worried about whether she would be able to do what she promised him.
But Xu Jiu obviously couldn't wait to find Li Yu, so he served tea to see off the guests directly, without giving Chen Hu a chance to talk at all.
Chen Hu seemed to leave, and the worry in his eyes could hardly be resolved.
He told Lin Liu what he found in Li's house, and he was a little worried: "I always feel that Mrs. Xu has something in her heart that must be vented, and I am always worried that it will affect our plan."
Lin Liu recalled Xu Jiu's face, and shook his head after thinking for a moment: "Mrs. Uncle Chen sent a few people to watch Mrs. Xu, so as to prevent her from doing something bad unconsciously and implicating us in the end."
Madam Xu, who is sober, naturally has no need to worry, but Madam Xu, who is not so sober, makes people feel uneasy.
Chen Hu nodded, and immediately sent two people to watch Mrs. Xu when he went back.
Neither of them expected that it was Lin Liu's carefulness that finally saved Mrs. Xu's life.
After Mrs. Xu got the jade pendant, she almost couldn't wait to find her husband.
Because of the successive failures in business during this period, Li Yu has been decadent for a long time. During these days, he begged his father to sue his grandmother, hoping that someone could pull him out and save his business.
It is precisely because of this that he changed his previous indifferent attitude towards Xu Jiu.
Because Li Yu hoped to get help from Xu Jiu's family.
But before Xu Jiu's parents died, her hope of having a child was not urgent, so she was naturally unwilling to let her parents use money to help the unscrupulous man; after her parents died, she wanted to have a child, so she softened her attitude towards Li Yu.
It's just that the timing of Xu Jiu's visit today was really not coincidental. First, Li Yu happened to ask Xu Jiu's half-brother for help today, but was mercilessly rejected; He is full of his own "little darling" and doesn't want to be disturbed at all.
So the two clashed.
Naturally, the concubine wants to be biased, and I don't know what she thinks, it's nothing more than a run on Xu Jiu, but she suddenly turns around and starts to laugh at the poor quality of the jade pendant worn by Xu Jiu, which is really embarrassing.
Xu Jiu was enraged because of this, and directly asked the maid beside her to beat the concubine.
Li Yu was naturally angry, and pushed Xu Jiu away, almost killing the maid beside her.
The concubine was even more arrogant, relying on Li Yupian's help, she grabbed Xu Jiu's jade pendant and smashed it to the ground, breaking it into pieces.
Seeing that her confidant who had been with her for decades and was no different from her relatives fell into such a situation, Xu Jiu, who was furious, picked up a knife as she said before...
Fortunately, the people sent by Chen Hu stopped him in time.
Otherwise, with Xu Jiu's state at that time, I'm afraid he could really hack the couple to death with a knife.
But after that, Xu Jiu didn't know whether he had figured it out or something, and he directly ordered people to tie up Li Yu's couple and their confidants——
It turns out that Xu Jiu and Chen Hu have been secretly preparing for the final seizure of power since they were connected online. In fact, many servants in the house have already had accidents in the Li family's business, and they were bought by her with dowry when people were panicking. For obedient people, she also tricked Li Yu and his concubine to drive them out by themselves.
Xu Jiu kept Li Yu's family just to have a baby.
Now that the hope of having a child is ruined, why doesn't she just kill someone directly, why is she willing to let people show off in front of her?
Now all the properties of the Li family combined are less than half of her dowry!
Xu Jiu called Ren Yazi that very day, and sold the confidantes of the dog men and women who took advantage of others to work as coolies.
As for Li Yu and his concubines and children?
Xu Jiu directly sent them to Zhuangzi in the suburbs, and made them watch their family of four doing farm work. If they did not do well, they would not be allowed to eat.
As soon as this came out, Xu Jiu had completely controlled the Li family in his own hands.
Xu Jiu can be regarded as a butterfly from the cocoon, reborn from the ashes, but for Chen Hu and Lin Liu, this is not good news——
The original plan of the two was for Xu Jiu to stand in front of the stage as a puppet, and they used their power to help Xu Jiu win the Li family.
But the current situation is that Xu Jiu relied on his own ability to win the Li family, and threw her husband and concubine's family to the Zhuangzi to suffer.
If you get revenge, you can be your own master, and there is no need to be a puppet for them.
Lin Liu was very happy for Xu Jiu, but had to start looking for other candidates.
When she was thinking about who should take over the grain business of the Li family, whether it was a branch of the Li family, or Li Yu's concubine brother, or someone else, Chen Hu brought Xu Jiu to visit.
Seeing Xu Jiu again, Lin Liu thought that she would see a woman who had changed a lot, but she didn't expect that after a long time, she was still dressed in the same way, with the same blank expression and slow reaction.
Except for the fundus of her eyes, there is light.
As soon as he saw Lin Liu, Xu Jiu went straight to the point and said, "The jade pendant that the girl gave me before was broken by that bitch, can I ask for another one?"
Lin Liu was a little puzzled: "If I remember correctly, Mrs. Xu has already thrown Li Yu to the Zhuangzi to do farm work? You and Li Yu have become like that, do you still want to conceive another child of his?"
With Mrs. Xu's character, it shouldn't be.
Xu Jiu really shook his head: "How could I be pregnant with his child again?"
"then you……"
"Li Yu is not the only man in this world." Xu Jiu smiled contemptuously, "He lives and flies with his concubine, and I don't want to be alone."
Lin Liu was surprised: "Madam Xu intends to divorce?"
Xu Jiu frowned: "If it's reconciliation, how can I justifiably control the grain business of the Li family? Isn't it because of my status as Li Yu's wife that the girl came to me before?"
Lin Liu did not expect that Xu Jiu would still be willing to fulfill the previous promise: "I thought Madam's life now is very different from before, there is no need to agree to our previous request, and I prefer to live alone."
"I still want a daughter," Xu Jiu said slowly but firmly, "I have to save enough money for her to spend her whole life, so that she can live a good life on her own without marrying."
She paused for a while, remembering Lin Liu's previous question, "I don't plan to make peace with Li Yu. If I do, I can only go back to my mother's house and be manipulated by my brother and sister-in-law. Don't say it is the property of the Li family." , even my dowry may not be guaranteed."
Even if they haven't reconciled yet, as long as brother Xu Jiu knows that the Li family has fallen into her hands, he might want to coax the Li family's wealth from her.
Xu Jiu blinked and said, "I need a child, and I also need a backer."
She still looked a little slow, but her expression was quite calm, and she had obviously made arrangements for her future with her unborn daughter.
Xu Jiu was willing to stand in front of the stage and help them manage their business, so Lin Liu was naturally not unwilling.In other words, she was the best choice for the Li family.
However, she still reminded: "If you want to conceive, you must have the strength of your husband and wife. You cannot conceive alone."
Xu Jiu was stunned, and nodded slowly: "Mr. Chen had someone tell me before the girl arrived in Jinling."
Lin Liu was relieved now, she got the result she wanted, and had no intention of asking who Xu Jiu was going to have a baby with, calculated the time, got up and walked to the bedroom, took out a jade pendant, and stored enough money in it to conceive. With a daughter's supernatural ability, she appeared in front of Jiu Jiu holding the jade pendant.
She handed the jade pendant to Xu Jiu with her own hands: "As before, it must be worn close to the body, and it is best not to leave the body at all times. If the jade pendant turns into ashes, it means that the lady is pregnant."
Xu Jiu looked down at the shiny jade pendant in her hand, and was a little puzzled: "Look at this jade pendant, why is it more beautiful than the jade pendant you gave me last time? It seems to be still shining?" She felt it carefully, " It's also warm to the touch."
Lin Liu did not expect Xu Jiu to be so keen in observation, so he said vaguely: "The jade pendant is bigger, so it is not obvious when you look at it, and the jade pendant is smaller and more delicate, and many feelings will be more concentrated."
In fact, she had already delivered a power to Xu Jiu last time, so when she used the jade pendant to store the power, she only stored a little bit, and was worried that Xu Jiu's pregnancy would be bad for her health.
Xu Jiu nodded suddenly: "So that's the case, then I can rest assured."
After getting what she wanted, Xu Jiu quickly said goodbye and left Lin Liu's yard.
After they left, Chen Hu came in again: "Miss Lin, Mrs. Xu has already taken control of the Li family's business, and has agreed to manage the business. I have also signed a contract with Mrs. Xu, and she will definitely not regret it. So , who shall we see next?"
Lin Liu picked up the list sent by Chen Hu again, and after turning his eyes around it, he landed on one of the wives surnamed Shi——
Mrs. Zhao Shi, after marrying into her husband's family, gave birth to four daughters one after another. She had a dystocia when she gave birth to the last daughter, which hurt her foundation, and she is still unable to conceive.Because of this, the husband also kept an outside room, and recently he even started to make a fuss, wanting to hire the outside room that gave birth to two sons as the second wife.
Lin Liu always felt that her experiences were somewhat familiar, so she simply said, "Just her."
only……
"This lady is the second concubine of the historian family. She has an unusual status. When I was in Jinling, I met many female family members of the historian family. This lady may be one of them." Lin Liu acted cautiously, "You let me Let me test it again, if it doesn't work, I won't show up, and you just give the jade to this lady."
Chen Hu nodded: "I'll let someone do it."
The Zhao Shi family was originally the daughter of the second wife of one of the four major families in Jinling, so it stands to reason that she shouldn't marry a mere nouveau riche grain merchant——
Sisters who are comparable to her, even if they can't marry into a rich merchant family like the Xue family, they can still marry the children of Jinling's aristocratic family, and no matter how bad they are, they can also marry a progressive son.
Only Mrs. Zhao Shi, because her mother would go crazy from time to time, the right family looked down on her at all, and worried that she or her child would also be crazy, so the marriage was wasted for many years, so she could only marry into the upstart Zhao Shishi. Home.
She didn't go crazy after marriage, and the daughter she gave birth to didn't go crazy either, but she couldn't give birth to a son.
Historians have stricter rules than ordinary people, so Chen Hu has never communicated with Zhao Shishi in person, and Zhao Shishi's confidant wife has always been in charge of the connection between the two.
Chen Hu didn't mind this before, but now that Miss Lin's safety is involved, he has to be more cautious, so he specially asked Zhao Shishi's confidant to meet with Zhao Shishi so that they can cooperate with each other sincerity.
After Zhao Shishi repeatedly confirmed that Chen Hu had something for her to have a child, he readily agreed to the appointment.
The two met at the largest restaurant in Jinling——
The people in the restaurant knew Zhao Shishi, and they were also familiar with her husband, so they discussed things under his nose so that no one would slander Zhao Shishi.
This is a very cautious person.
After Chen Hu confirmed this, he corrected his attitude.
Zhao Shishi's private room was on the second floor. After Chen Hu was taken to the private room, the door of that private room was never closed again.
As soon as he saw Zhao Shishi, Chen Hu noticed that her facial features were somewhat similar to Miss Lin.
But thinking that Miss Lin's mother, Mrs. Jia, was born in the Rongguo Mansion, and her mother was also a girl from the Shihou family, and that the two were indeed related by blood, Chen Hu quickly put this behind him and didn't take it to heart.
He was even more surprised by Zhao Shishi's cautiousness: "Mrs. Shi, if you keep the door open, don't you worry that the conversation between the two of us will be heard by passers-by?"
Zhao Shishi glanced at him indifferently, and said: "I have reserved all the rooms on the second floor. Except for the waiter of the restaurant, no one else will appear. The waiter will not come up without my order."
So keeping the door open, not only would there be no risk of leaking secrets, but it would also allow the owner of the restaurant to see what was going on in the room at a glance, so as not to cause unwarranted guesses.
Mrs. Shi is rich and powerful, and has nippled all hidden dangers in the bud. Naturally, Chen Hu can't take care of them.
Zhao Shishi said directly: "Do you really have something in your hands that allows me to have a child?"
Chen Hu was a little helpless: "Mrs. Shi, this is the ninth time you have asked me. I really have something that allows you to conceive a son. You are a member of the Shi family. I am a small businessman, and I dare not Deceived you, didn't you?"
Zhao Shishi raised his eyelids lightly: "That's not sure. There are too many bold people in this world, who knows if you are one of them?"
Chen Hu sat upright, not daring to say more.
After a long silence, Zhao Shishi spoke again: "Why did you suddenly propose to meet today, and said you want to confirm our mutual sincerity?"
Chen Hu smiled and said, "Because my boss has already arrived in Jinling."
After thinking for a while, Zhao Shishi understood: "He has what I want? Does he not believe my sincerity?"
Chen Hu carefully reminded: "After all, you were born in Jinling historians, and you are in the same line as Shihou's family. If we negotiated a good cooperation and handed things over to you without defense, you violated the contract... We are soft-spoken and have nowhere to discuss it. To be fair, it's better to be careful."
Zhao Shishi had been sullen all the time, but when he heard this, he suddenly showed a smile: "It's very good that you can think this way. I don't want my partner to be a fool who is brave and foolish. It doesn't matter if I'm stupid. If I get involved, I deserve to die!"
Chen Hu broke out in a cold sweat.
Zhao Shishi just pretended not to see it, and asked again: "Now, have you seen my sincerity? When can you give me something?"
Chen Hu rolled his eyes, and took out the deeds one by one from his arms: "Madam is honorable, let's sign the deeds first."
When contacting Zhao Shishi's confidant wife before, Chen Hu only thought of this lady as an ordinary woman with some means, but now when they meet, he, who has been on the battlefield, can't stand the power of this lady occasionally, Chen Hu I'm really worried that she will break the contract.
The Zhao Shishi in front of him is not the same person as the pitiful looking woman in the information.
Chen Hu regretted finding her——
Such people, regardless of gender, are not easy to control.
But their plan only needs a puppet to stand in front of the stage instead of them.
Zhao Shishi stretched out two fingers to pick up the deed, just glanced at it lightly, then turned to look at the mother-in-law behind him: "The pen and ink are waiting for you!"
After writing the deed, Chen Hu heaved a sigh of relief.
He put away the deed, and replied in a low voice: "After I hand over the deed to the master, I will deliver the things you need to the nanny in at most two days. Madam, please rest assured."
Zhao Shishi nodded without hesitation: "Don't lie to me, otherwise..."
Chen Hu lowered his head, not daring to answer.
Zhao Shishi chuckled and led everyone away.
……
After learning about Zhao Shishi's character from Chen Hu's mouth, Lin Liu only felt strange: "She has such a temperament, and she has the backing of historians, why was she bullied like that by her husband? No, what I should ask is, what did she do at the beginning?" Why did you marry into the Zhao family?"
Obviously, even the Zhao family in its heyday would not be seen by Mrs. Shi at all.
Chen Hu replied carefully: "Because this lady's mother is a lunatic."
Lin Liu was puzzled: "Can a madman marry into a historian?"
Historians can be regarded as the top family in Jinling, right?Such a family wants to marry a wife, not to mention careful selection, how can they not marry a lunatic home?
"Before she got married, Mrs. Shi's mother was considered a well-known talented woman in Jinling, and she didn't show any signs of going crazy."
"Then why did she go crazy?"
"There are many historians, and there are many fights of all kinds. Whether it is the fight for inheritance, or the fight for property, or the fight between wives and concubines, they are all famous in Jinling." Chen Hu explained, "Mrs. In the dispute between wives and concubines, as well as property disputes between Shi’s first house and second house, he lost a daughter because of it.”
Lin Liu's heart moved, and for some reason, she subconsciously imprinted this information in her heart.
Chen Hu didn't notice Lin Liu's abnormality, and continued to talk about Zhao Shi's related information: "Her mother was pregnant at the time, and when she found out that her daughter was lost, she became pregnant, and then she was gassed by the concubine. , the child was born prematurely, and was not kept after that, and passed away when he was two years old."
"After that, Mrs. Shi's mother stayed in bed for two or three years. She had gradually improved and was able to go out to socialize normally. Unexpectedly, during the Lantern Festival, Mrs. Shi was almost abducted again. She escaped and came back, and sent the person who killed her directly to the prison, but during her disappearance, her mother still couldn't bear the blow and went crazy."
The three children almost died, and their psychological endurance is a little weak. I'm afraid they can't bear it, and it's normal to go crazy.
It sounds like this lady is the real poor thing.
Chen Hu continued: "Although Mrs. Shi was abducted, she was still young at the time, and she disappeared for a period of time, which did not affect her reputation. It's just that Mrs. Shi's temperament has changed drastically since then. Not only did she have no intention of keeping a low profile, she will The historians have turned upside down, and the people who killed her mother and younger siblings all disappeared quietly in the next few years."
Lin Liu raised her eyebrows: "Uncle Chen, are you sure that the lady you are talking about is really the same person as the information you gave me before?"
One seemed to be a meat bun who was bullied by her husband's family and didn't know how to resist, while the other was a tough fight against Buddha.
Who would have thought that it was the same person?
Chen Hu's face turned red: "Because it happened so long ago, everyone who knew about it was silenced by the historians. I also noticed something was wrong after meeting Mrs. Shi, and people spent a lot of effort to investigate, so the truth of the year was revealed. dug out."
Although it is excusable, it was his negligence in the end.
If Miss Lin hadn't been cautious and asked him to meet Mrs. Zhao Shi in advance, when Miss Lin and Mrs. Shi met rashly, she might not be able to please her.
Not to mention anything else, at least Miss Lin's identity is very likely to be exposed.
Chen Hu knelt down: "Please punish Miss Lin."
Lin Liu waved his hand: "It's just a trivial matter, it's enough for you to be more cautious in the future."
"Does the girl still want to meet Mrs. Shi?"
"No." Lin Liu shook his head resolutely, "Not only can you not meet Mrs. Shi, but you have to be very careful when you come to my place in the future. Maybe Mrs. Shi will let people follow you, so as to track down the boss behind you?"
Chen Hu was taken aback, and cold sweat broke out instantly: "I will be careful in the future."
Lin Liu waved her hand, went into the room and took a jade pendant. After storing enough powers, she came out with the jade pendant: "Uncle Chen, you can give the jade pendant to Mrs. Shi sometime, as if I gave it to her If she is unwilling to fulfill the contract, you can just pretend that this has never happened before."
Chen Hu nodded: "Don't worry, girl, I know the seriousness."
……
The next day, Chen Hu couldn't wait to arrive at the appointed place, and after delivering the jade pendant to Zhao Shi's confidant mother, he left the spot impatiently without saying a word.
After Zhao Shishi knew about this, he chuckled lightly: "The owner behind this person is really interesting."
Mammy stood quietly by the side without saying a word.
Zhao Shishi played with the jade pendant for a while, then suddenly asked: "Sister, tell me, if I wear the jade pendant next to my body every day as that person said, will I really be pregnant?"
Nanny whispered: "Should be, he doesn't have the guts to lie to Madam."
Zhao Shishi smiled: "That's right, it seems that he is a little timid. But the master behind him is smart. He went to the yard once after leaving the restaurant that day, but he didn't go there once in the past two days. Obviously he guessed it." I'll be followed."
Nanny curled her lips: "It's just not as good as the master."
Unexpectedly, this Xu Jiu did not take the usual path and wanted to have a daughter.
Lin Liu is a woman herself, so naturally she will not be prejudiced against women, but this world is indeed very unfriendly to women, and having a boy is more useful for Xu Jiu's status stability.
Xu Jiu was a little dazed: "What's wrong? Can't you? Or, you can only give birth to a boy?" She frowned, "If that's the case, it's better not to appoint it. It depends on my own luck."
It sounds like Mrs. Xu really wants a daughter.
Lin Liu smiled, and naturally fulfilled her wish.
After letting go of her hand, she said with a smile: "It's not that you can't designate a girl, but I'm a little surprised. If you really want to seize the property of your husband's family, don't you need to have a son to stabilize your position?"
In the ancient world, the practice of daughters inheriting the family business was not popular.
Xu Jiu's eyes were blank: "But am I not the shopkeeper for you? The family business is not mine, so why give birth to a son to harm someone else's girl."
"So, you just gave birth to a daughter and let other people's sons harm you?" Lin Liu was shocked by Mrs. Xu's thoughts, she couldn't control it for a while, and said what was in her heart, and she couldn't help but regret after speaking, "I'm sorry! I don't mean to blame you, but I was too shocked to make a slip of the tongue..."
Mrs. Xu was not angry, instead, she glanced at some wise words and showed a suddenly realized expression: "So I should still have a son?"
But in a flash she laughed again, "Although it sounds right, I still want a daughter more. Let's forget about my son. He is too naughty and I can't control it. On the contrary, my daughter is not afraid of being bullied. I can always protect it. If someone dares to bully my daughter, I will hit the door with a knife."
Before Lin Liu felt it, Chen Hu beside him couldn't help swallowing: "Madam really likes to joke, haha, haha..."
The laughter sounded rather awkward.
Lin Liu looked at Chen Hu speechlessly, then looked at Xu Jiu: "Since Mrs. Xu has such an idea, she must be able to get what she wants."
Xu Jiu nodded: "Daughter should be well-behaved. As long as she doesn't marry, she will be favored by thousands of people at home, so she won't be bullied." After she finished speaking, she laughed, "So I should save some money for her."
After bidding farewell to Xu Jiu, Lin Liu finally took the time to ask Chen Hu: "I just landed, and I haven't packed my luggage yet. Why are you so anxious to bring me to see Mrs. Xu?" After a pause, she tentatively opened her mouth, "Is it because of what happened, or because of Mrs. Xu's mental state?"
Mrs. Xu's various reactions just now seemed a little abnormal.
I always feel that her reaction is half a beat slower than normal.
Chen Hu and Lin Liu were not very close. Although they often exchanged letters, they only talked about business matters and never touched on their private life.Most of his impressions of Lin Liu actually came from Ji Song.
Naturally, when Ji Song talked about Lin Liu, he always had good things to say.
But even so, Lin Liu only met Xu Jiu once, and he was so keenly aware of something wrong without saying a few words, which surprised him: "Just a few months ago, Mrs. Xu's father passed away. The mother followed soon after, and her natal family is now controlled by her half-brother who doesn't have much affection for her, making her life in her husband's family more and more difficult."
"It is also because of this that Mrs. Xu wants a child more urgently than before. It's just that she was bullied by her husband's concubine for a long time, and his husband was extremely indifferent to her. Her mental state is not good. She also heard non-existent ravings and noises, she saw a doctor, and the doctor said she had a heart attack."
Chen Hu glanced at Lin Liu: "I thought she wanted a child too much, and was also worried that Mrs. Xu would be really ill if you came late, so she didn't say hello and directly picked you up to meet Mrs. Xu. Meet."
Lin Liu suddenly realized that there was really something wrong with her mental state.
She waved her hand: "You are also kind, and it is for the good of our business. You did the right thing. There is nothing to criticize."
Chen Hu bowed and saluted, more and more agreeing with Lin Liu.
Lin Liu was busy all the way, and after dealing with Mrs. Xu's affairs, she naturally wanted to go back to rest.
But before she left, she did not forget to remind Chen Hu: "You remember to write down the list of the family members of the grain merchants in the Jiangnan area that have been negotiated. I have two or three months to deal with these matters this time. I'm leaving Jinling and going back to Gusu."
Chen Hu also knew that the eldest son of the Lin family had won the top talent examination and was about to take the provincial examination, so he nodded in agreement.
but……
"I don't know what method did the eldest girl use to get Mrs. Xu pregnant? Or, just now, you gave Mrs. Xu a chance to get pregnant without anyone knowing?" Chen Hu looked cautiously, and said tentatively, "I'm not I want to find out the secret of the eldest girl, but every time you make people pregnant, if you have to meet in person, or even have intimate contact, I am afraid that it will not be long before your method of making people pregnant will be guessed."
Lin Liu was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect this.
She didn't say yes or no, but said with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle Chen, for reminding me."
Chen Hu waved his hand: "Everyone cooperates, I always don't want the big girl to be in danger."
Lin Liu nodded: "If there is nothing else, I'll go back and rest first."
Chen Hu bowed and saluted: "Respectfully send off Miss Lin."
"See you tomorrow."
After finishing speaking, Lin Liu left Chen Hu's mansion directly with a few maidservants, and returned to the yard that he had asked people to buy in advance.
After dinner, Lin Liu went back to the room to wash and sleep after taking a walk in the garden to eat.While lying on the bed, Lin Liu kept thinking about how to hide the fact that "Lin Liu has the ability to make people pregnant".
Chen Hu's reminder was very reasonable. She tried every means to hide the Lin family, and she had done a good job before. If it was because of her own reasons that people suspected of going to the Lin family, wouldn't all her previous efforts be in vain?
But how to do it, she really couldn't think of a good way.
In the previous life, the ability could be stored in the crystal nucleus. At that time, some surviving scientists also invented some weapons that could transform the ability, and those abilities that were used twice did have the previous ability.
But now there are no zombies in this world, so naturally there are no crystal nuclei.
Those weapons that can transform supernatural powers, let alone whether Lin Liu will make them, the manufacturing standards of materials alone cannot be achieved by today's technological level.
She seriously recalled all the information related to supernatural powers in her previous life, and finally pulled out a message in the corner that she didn't know if it was useful——
When the apocalypse first came, because the environment was not so harsh that it could not survive, some people who had activated their abilities were free to use their abilities to do some small and harmless experiments.
Among them is a person with supernatural powers. Xu has read too many novels before the end of the world, so he always feels that jade is a very special material and definitely has a different effect.
He has done countless experiments with jade, one of which is to input his own abilities into jade and want to store it.
But the follow-up result is that although the stored abilities can be reused, they cannot be absorbed by him again, and although jade can store abilities, but after the abilities inside are reused, no matter what quality the jade is, it will eventually reduced to ashes.
That person is considered a rich second generation, and the family's money can't afford such a setup, so he quickly gave up this experiment.
After the news came out, many people also thought that the storage ability of jade was too tasteless——
After all, jade is a mineral, and after thousands of years of consumption, there is not much left, and all jade produced after that is very expensive.Even the richest people can't afford such consumption.
But for Lin Liu, the method of storing powers in jade is very useful for her today.
This means that she can hide herself with jade.
So when they met the next day, Lin Liu handed Chen Hu a jade pendant with ordinary texture and looks ordinary: "Give this jade pendant to Mrs. Xu and tell her that as long as you wear the jade pendant on your body all the time, Not leaving her body, when the jade pendant turns into ashes, it means she is pregnant."
Chen Hu was stunned for a moment: "Just carry the jade pendant close to your body?"
Lin Liu nodded: "Yes, if the jade pendant turns to ashes, it means Mrs. Xu is pregnant."
Chen Hu was amazed: "This is too convenient."
The point is, it's too safe.
Although I don't know if Miss Lin also used this method when trying to get people pregnant (he didn't intend to inquire), but no matter what, Miss Lin's safety is guaranteed.
He also had an explanation to his master.
After Chen Hu left a compiled list, he took Yupei to Li's house.
Chen Hu had come to see Mrs. Xu several times before as the brother of Xu Jiu's natal family, and the concierge recognized him, so he let him in without anyone going in to tell him.
As soon as they met, Chen Hu handed the jade pendant to Xu Jiu directly, and told Mrs. Xu several times about Lin Liu's words.
Mrs. Xu was a little dumbfounded. Only when she saw the jade pendant did her eyes light up: "Mr. Chen, don't worry, I will definitely wear it close to my body in the future."
She stroked Yupei tenderly, as if she was touching her own child.
Chen Hu's eyebrows twitched, and he always felt that Madam Xu's mental state was even worse, and he was a little worried about whether she would be able to do what she promised him.
But Xu Jiu obviously couldn't wait to find Li Yu, so he served tea to see off the guests directly, without giving Chen Hu a chance to talk at all.
Chen Hu seemed to leave, and the worry in his eyes could hardly be resolved.
He told Lin Liu what he found in Li's house, and he was a little worried: "I always feel that Mrs. Xu has something in her heart that must be vented, and I am always worried that it will affect our plan."
Lin Liu recalled Xu Jiu's face, and shook his head after thinking for a moment: "Mrs. Uncle Chen sent a few people to watch Mrs. Xu, so as to prevent her from doing something bad unconsciously and implicating us in the end."
Madam Xu, who is sober, naturally has no need to worry, but Madam Xu, who is not so sober, makes people feel uneasy.
Chen Hu nodded, and immediately sent two people to watch Mrs. Xu when he went back.
Neither of them expected that it was Lin Liu's carefulness that finally saved Mrs. Xu's life.
After Mrs. Xu got the jade pendant, she almost couldn't wait to find her husband.
Because of the successive failures in business during this period, Li Yu has been decadent for a long time. During these days, he begged his father to sue his grandmother, hoping that someone could pull him out and save his business.
It is precisely because of this that he changed his previous indifferent attitude towards Xu Jiu.
Because Li Yu hoped to get help from Xu Jiu's family.
But before Xu Jiu's parents died, her hope of having a child was not urgent, so she was naturally unwilling to let her parents use money to help the unscrupulous man; after her parents died, she wanted to have a child, so she softened her attitude towards Li Yu.
It's just that the timing of Xu Jiu's visit today was really not coincidental. First, Li Yu happened to ask Xu Jiu's half-brother for help today, but was mercilessly rejected; He is full of his own "little darling" and doesn't want to be disturbed at all.
So the two clashed.
Naturally, the concubine wants to be biased, and I don't know what she thinks, it's nothing more than a run on Xu Jiu, but she suddenly turns around and starts to laugh at the poor quality of the jade pendant worn by Xu Jiu, which is really embarrassing.
Xu Jiu was enraged because of this, and directly asked the maid beside her to beat the concubine.
Li Yu was naturally angry, and pushed Xu Jiu away, almost killing the maid beside her.
The concubine was even more arrogant, relying on Li Yupian's help, she grabbed Xu Jiu's jade pendant and smashed it to the ground, breaking it into pieces.
Seeing that her confidant who had been with her for decades and was no different from her relatives fell into such a situation, Xu Jiu, who was furious, picked up a knife as she said before...
Fortunately, the people sent by Chen Hu stopped him in time.
Otherwise, with Xu Jiu's state at that time, I'm afraid he could really hack the couple to death with a knife.
But after that, Xu Jiu didn't know whether he had figured it out or something, and he directly ordered people to tie up Li Yu's couple and their confidants——
It turns out that Xu Jiu and Chen Hu have been secretly preparing for the final seizure of power since they were connected online. In fact, many servants in the house have already had accidents in the Li family's business, and they were bought by her with dowry when people were panicking. For obedient people, she also tricked Li Yu and his concubine to drive them out by themselves.
Xu Jiu kept Li Yu's family just to have a baby.
Now that the hope of having a child is ruined, why doesn't she just kill someone directly, why is she willing to let people show off in front of her?
Now all the properties of the Li family combined are less than half of her dowry!
Xu Jiu called Ren Yazi that very day, and sold the confidantes of the dog men and women who took advantage of others to work as coolies.
As for Li Yu and his concubines and children?
Xu Jiu directly sent them to Zhuangzi in the suburbs, and made them watch their family of four doing farm work. If they did not do well, they would not be allowed to eat.
As soon as this came out, Xu Jiu had completely controlled the Li family in his own hands.
Xu Jiu can be regarded as a butterfly from the cocoon, reborn from the ashes, but for Chen Hu and Lin Liu, this is not good news——
The original plan of the two was for Xu Jiu to stand in front of the stage as a puppet, and they used their power to help Xu Jiu win the Li family.
But the current situation is that Xu Jiu relied on his own ability to win the Li family, and threw her husband and concubine's family to the Zhuangzi to suffer.
If you get revenge, you can be your own master, and there is no need to be a puppet for them.
Lin Liu was very happy for Xu Jiu, but had to start looking for other candidates.
When she was thinking about who should take over the grain business of the Li family, whether it was a branch of the Li family, or Li Yu's concubine brother, or someone else, Chen Hu brought Xu Jiu to visit.
Seeing Xu Jiu again, Lin Liu thought that she would see a woman who had changed a lot, but she didn't expect that after a long time, she was still dressed in the same way, with the same blank expression and slow reaction.
Except for the fundus of her eyes, there is light.
As soon as he saw Lin Liu, Xu Jiu went straight to the point and said, "The jade pendant that the girl gave me before was broken by that bitch, can I ask for another one?"
Lin Liu was a little puzzled: "If I remember correctly, Mrs. Xu has already thrown Li Yu to the Zhuangzi to do farm work? You and Li Yu have become like that, do you still want to conceive another child of his?"
With Mrs. Xu's character, it shouldn't be.
Xu Jiu really shook his head: "How could I be pregnant with his child again?"
"then you……"
"Li Yu is not the only man in this world." Xu Jiu smiled contemptuously, "He lives and flies with his concubine, and I don't want to be alone."
Lin Liu was surprised: "Madam Xu intends to divorce?"
Xu Jiu frowned: "If it's reconciliation, how can I justifiably control the grain business of the Li family? Isn't it because of my status as Li Yu's wife that the girl came to me before?"
Lin Liu did not expect that Xu Jiu would still be willing to fulfill the previous promise: "I thought Madam's life now is very different from before, there is no need to agree to our previous request, and I prefer to live alone."
"I still want a daughter," Xu Jiu said slowly but firmly, "I have to save enough money for her to spend her whole life, so that she can live a good life on her own without marrying."
She paused for a while, remembering Lin Liu's previous question, "I don't plan to make peace with Li Yu. If I do, I can only go back to my mother's house and be manipulated by my brother and sister-in-law. Don't say it is the property of the Li family." , even my dowry may not be guaranteed."
Even if they haven't reconciled yet, as long as brother Xu Jiu knows that the Li family has fallen into her hands, he might want to coax the Li family's wealth from her.
Xu Jiu blinked and said, "I need a child, and I also need a backer."
She still looked a little slow, but her expression was quite calm, and she had obviously made arrangements for her future with her unborn daughter.
Xu Jiu was willing to stand in front of the stage and help them manage their business, so Lin Liu was naturally not unwilling.In other words, she was the best choice for the Li family.
However, she still reminded: "If you want to conceive, you must have the strength of your husband and wife. You cannot conceive alone."
Xu Jiu was stunned, and nodded slowly: "Mr. Chen had someone tell me before the girl arrived in Jinling."
Lin Liu was relieved now, she got the result she wanted, and had no intention of asking who Xu Jiu was going to have a baby with, calculated the time, got up and walked to the bedroom, took out a jade pendant, and stored enough money in it to conceive. With a daughter's supernatural ability, she appeared in front of Jiu Jiu holding the jade pendant.
She handed the jade pendant to Xu Jiu with her own hands: "As before, it must be worn close to the body, and it is best not to leave the body at all times. If the jade pendant turns into ashes, it means that the lady is pregnant."
Xu Jiu looked down at the shiny jade pendant in her hand, and was a little puzzled: "Look at this jade pendant, why is it more beautiful than the jade pendant you gave me last time? It seems to be still shining?" She felt it carefully, " It's also warm to the touch."
Lin Liu did not expect Xu Jiu to be so keen in observation, so he said vaguely: "The jade pendant is bigger, so it is not obvious when you look at it, and the jade pendant is smaller and more delicate, and many feelings will be more concentrated."
In fact, she had already delivered a power to Xu Jiu last time, so when she used the jade pendant to store the power, she only stored a little bit, and was worried that Xu Jiu's pregnancy would be bad for her health.
Xu Jiu nodded suddenly: "So that's the case, then I can rest assured."
After getting what she wanted, Xu Jiu quickly said goodbye and left Lin Liu's yard.
After they left, Chen Hu came in again: "Miss Lin, Mrs. Xu has already taken control of the Li family's business, and has agreed to manage the business. I have also signed a contract with Mrs. Xu, and she will definitely not regret it. So , who shall we see next?"
Lin Liu picked up the list sent by Chen Hu again, and after turning his eyes around it, he landed on one of the wives surnamed Shi——
Mrs. Zhao Shi, after marrying into her husband's family, gave birth to four daughters one after another. She had a dystocia when she gave birth to the last daughter, which hurt her foundation, and she is still unable to conceive.Because of this, the husband also kept an outside room, and recently he even started to make a fuss, wanting to hire the outside room that gave birth to two sons as the second wife.
Lin Liu always felt that her experiences were somewhat familiar, so she simply said, "Just her."
only……
"This lady is the second concubine of the historian family. She has an unusual status. When I was in Jinling, I met many female family members of the historian family. This lady may be one of them." Lin Liu acted cautiously, "You let me Let me test it again, if it doesn't work, I won't show up, and you just give the jade to this lady."
Chen Hu nodded: "I'll let someone do it."
The Zhao Shi family was originally the daughter of the second wife of one of the four major families in Jinling, so it stands to reason that she shouldn't marry a mere nouveau riche grain merchant——
Sisters who are comparable to her, even if they can't marry into a rich merchant family like the Xue family, they can still marry the children of Jinling's aristocratic family, and no matter how bad they are, they can also marry a progressive son.
Only Mrs. Zhao Shi, because her mother would go crazy from time to time, the right family looked down on her at all, and worried that she or her child would also be crazy, so the marriage was wasted for many years, so she could only marry into the upstart Zhao Shishi. Home.
She didn't go crazy after marriage, and the daughter she gave birth to didn't go crazy either, but she couldn't give birth to a son.
Historians have stricter rules than ordinary people, so Chen Hu has never communicated with Zhao Shishi in person, and Zhao Shishi's confidant wife has always been in charge of the connection between the two.
Chen Hu didn't mind this before, but now that Miss Lin's safety is involved, he has to be more cautious, so he specially asked Zhao Shishi's confidant to meet with Zhao Shishi so that they can cooperate with each other sincerity.
After Zhao Shishi repeatedly confirmed that Chen Hu had something for her to have a child, he readily agreed to the appointment.
The two met at the largest restaurant in Jinling——
The people in the restaurant knew Zhao Shishi, and they were also familiar with her husband, so they discussed things under his nose so that no one would slander Zhao Shishi.
This is a very cautious person.
After Chen Hu confirmed this, he corrected his attitude.
Zhao Shishi's private room was on the second floor. After Chen Hu was taken to the private room, the door of that private room was never closed again.
As soon as he saw Zhao Shishi, Chen Hu noticed that her facial features were somewhat similar to Miss Lin.
But thinking that Miss Lin's mother, Mrs. Jia, was born in the Rongguo Mansion, and her mother was also a girl from the Shihou family, and that the two were indeed related by blood, Chen Hu quickly put this behind him and didn't take it to heart.
He was even more surprised by Zhao Shishi's cautiousness: "Mrs. Shi, if you keep the door open, don't you worry that the conversation between the two of us will be heard by passers-by?"
Zhao Shishi glanced at him indifferently, and said: "I have reserved all the rooms on the second floor. Except for the waiter of the restaurant, no one else will appear. The waiter will not come up without my order."
So keeping the door open, not only would there be no risk of leaking secrets, but it would also allow the owner of the restaurant to see what was going on in the room at a glance, so as not to cause unwarranted guesses.
Mrs. Shi is rich and powerful, and has nippled all hidden dangers in the bud. Naturally, Chen Hu can't take care of them.
Zhao Shishi said directly: "Do you really have something in your hands that allows me to have a child?"
Chen Hu was a little helpless: "Mrs. Shi, this is the ninth time you have asked me. I really have something that allows you to conceive a son. You are a member of the Shi family. I am a small businessman, and I dare not Deceived you, didn't you?"
Zhao Shishi raised his eyelids lightly: "That's not sure. There are too many bold people in this world, who knows if you are one of them?"
Chen Hu sat upright, not daring to say more.
After a long silence, Zhao Shishi spoke again: "Why did you suddenly propose to meet today, and said you want to confirm our mutual sincerity?"
Chen Hu smiled and said, "Because my boss has already arrived in Jinling."
After thinking for a while, Zhao Shishi understood: "He has what I want? Does he not believe my sincerity?"
Chen Hu carefully reminded: "After all, you were born in Jinling historians, and you are in the same line as Shihou's family. If we negotiated a good cooperation and handed things over to you without defense, you violated the contract... We are soft-spoken and have nowhere to discuss it. To be fair, it's better to be careful."
Zhao Shishi had been sullen all the time, but when he heard this, he suddenly showed a smile: "It's very good that you can think this way. I don't want my partner to be a fool who is brave and foolish. It doesn't matter if I'm stupid. If I get involved, I deserve to die!"
Chen Hu broke out in a cold sweat.
Zhao Shishi just pretended not to see it, and asked again: "Now, have you seen my sincerity? When can you give me something?"
Chen Hu rolled his eyes, and took out the deeds one by one from his arms: "Madam is honorable, let's sign the deeds first."
When contacting Zhao Shishi's confidant wife before, Chen Hu only thought of this lady as an ordinary woman with some means, but now when they meet, he, who has been on the battlefield, can't stand the power of this lady occasionally, Chen Hu I'm really worried that she will break the contract.
The Zhao Shishi in front of him is not the same person as the pitiful looking woman in the information.
Chen Hu regretted finding her——
Such people, regardless of gender, are not easy to control.
But their plan only needs a puppet to stand in front of the stage instead of them.
Zhao Shishi stretched out two fingers to pick up the deed, just glanced at it lightly, then turned to look at the mother-in-law behind him: "The pen and ink are waiting for you!"
After writing the deed, Chen Hu heaved a sigh of relief.
He put away the deed, and replied in a low voice: "After I hand over the deed to the master, I will deliver the things you need to the nanny in at most two days. Madam, please rest assured."
Zhao Shishi nodded without hesitation: "Don't lie to me, otherwise..."
Chen Hu lowered his head, not daring to answer.
Zhao Shishi chuckled and led everyone away.
……
After learning about Zhao Shishi's character from Chen Hu's mouth, Lin Liu only felt strange: "She has such a temperament, and she has the backing of historians, why was she bullied like that by her husband? No, what I should ask is, what did she do at the beginning?" Why did you marry into the Zhao family?"
Obviously, even the Zhao family in its heyday would not be seen by Mrs. Shi at all.
Chen Hu replied carefully: "Because this lady's mother is a lunatic."
Lin Liu was puzzled: "Can a madman marry into a historian?"
Historians can be regarded as the top family in Jinling, right?Such a family wants to marry a wife, not to mention careful selection, how can they not marry a lunatic home?
"Before she got married, Mrs. Shi's mother was considered a well-known talented woman in Jinling, and she didn't show any signs of going crazy."
"Then why did she go crazy?"
"There are many historians, and there are many fights of all kinds. Whether it is the fight for inheritance, or the fight for property, or the fight between wives and concubines, they are all famous in Jinling." Chen Hu explained, "Mrs. In the dispute between wives and concubines, as well as property disputes between Shi’s first house and second house, he lost a daughter because of it.”
Lin Liu's heart moved, and for some reason, she subconsciously imprinted this information in her heart.
Chen Hu didn't notice Lin Liu's abnormality, and continued to talk about Zhao Shi's related information: "Her mother was pregnant at the time, and when she found out that her daughter was lost, she became pregnant, and then she was gassed by the concubine. , the child was born prematurely, and was not kept after that, and passed away when he was two years old."
"After that, Mrs. Shi's mother stayed in bed for two or three years. She had gradually improved and was able to go out to socialize normally. Unexpectedly, during the Lantern Festival, Mrs. Shi was almost abducted again. She escaped and came back, and sent the person who killed her directly to the prison, but during her disappearance, her mother still couldn't bear the blow and went crazy."
The three children almost died, and their psychological endurance is a little weak. I'm afraid they can't bear it, and it's normal to go crazy.
It sounds like this lady is the real poor thing.
Chen Hu continued: "Although Mrs. Shi was abducted, she was still young at the time, and she disappeared for a period of time, which did not affect her reputation. It's just that Mrs. Shi's temperament has changed drastically since then. Not only did she have no intention of keeping a low profile, she will The historians have turned upside down, and the people who killed her mother and younger siblings all disappeared quietly in the next few years."
Lin Liu raised her eyebrows: "Uncle Chen, are you sure that the lady you are talking about is really the same person as the information you gave me before?"
One seemed to be a meat bun who was bullied by her husband's family and didn't know how to resist, while the other was a tough fight against Buddha.
Who would have thought that it was the same person?
Chen Hu's face turned red: "Because it happened so long ago, everyone who knew about it was silenced by the historians. I also noticed something was wrong after meeting Mrs. Shi, and people spent a lot of effort to investigate, so the truth of the year was revealed. dug out."
Although it is excusable, it was his negligence in the end.
If Miss Lin hadn't been cautious and asked him to meet Mrs. Zhao Shi in advance, when Miss Lin and Mrs. Shi met rashly, she might not be able to please her.
Not to mention anything else, at least Miss Lin's identity is very likely to be exposed.
Chen Hu knelt down: "Please punish Miss Lin."
Lin Liu waved his hand: "It's just a trivial matter, it's enough for you to be more cautious in the future."
"Does the girl still want to meet Mrs. Shi?"
"No." Lin Liu shook his head resolutely, "Not only can you not meet Mrs. Shi, but you have to be very careful when you come to my place in the future. Maybe Mrs. Shi will let people follow you, so as to track down the boss behind you?"
Chen Hu was taken aback, and cold sweat broke out instantly: "I will be careful in the future."
Lin Liu waved her hand, went into the room and took a jade pendant. After storing enough powers, she came out with the jade pendant: "Uncle Chen, you can give the jade pendant to Mrs. Shi sometime, as if I gave it to her If she is unwilling to fulfill the contract, you can just pretend that this has never happened before."
Chen Hu nodded: "Don't worry, girl, I know the seriousness."
……
The next day, Chen Hu couldn't wait to arrive at the appointed place, and after delivering the jade pendant to Zhao Shi's confidant mother, he left the spot impatiently without saying a word.
After Zhao Shishi knew about this, he chuckled lightly: "The owner behind this person is really interesting."
Mammy stood quietly by the side without saying a word.
Zhao Shishi played with the jade pendant for a while, then suddenly asked: "Sister, tell me, if I wear the jade pendant next to my body every day as that person said, will I really be pregnant?"
Nanny whispered: "Should be, he doesn't have the guts to lie to Madam."
Zhao Shishi smiled: "That's right, it seems that he is a little timid. But the master behind him is smart. He went to the yard once after leaving the restaurant that day, but he didn't go there once in the past two days. Obviously he guessed it." I'll be followed."
Nanny curled her lips: "It's just not as good as the master."
