Rebirth: Picking up a Little Husband

The old lady was twirling the Buddhist beads while chanting sutras. When she heard the movement at the door, she calmly finished the last sentence and turned around slowly.

"What does it look like in a panic?"

The people in the hall trembled, took a deep breath, and pretended to be calm: "Madam, everyone outside is guessing..."

The boy took a cautious look.

"Guess what?" The old lady took the tea handed over by Mammy, uncovered a corner of the cup lid, swung it twice, blew lightly, and took a sip of tea.

"Guess that the second young master is not the eldest lady's own."

The old lady paused, and the cup "bumped" on the side of the table. The boy was startled, his body trembled, and he almost jumped up.

The matter of Zhang Xianglan's harsh treatment has not yet been resolved, and the word that she is not her own comes from the back. Even if she doesn't care about Zhang Xianglan's reputation, she still has to take care of the Li family!

The Li family is determined not to spread the word about an illegitimate child.

Zhang Xianglan couldn't protect herself, she wanted to drag the entire Li family into the water!

"It's nonsense, you go and invite the master."

Seeing the old lady's ashen face, the servant hurried out the door.

"Old lady calm down." Nanny persuaded.

"Hmph, how can this make me calm down! There are not a few people in Yecheng who want to replace the Li family. Do I just let them see my Li family as a joke?"

If this is true, she will be a joke in Ye City in the future!

There is no way to discipline, and the legitimate son has just married his wife and concubine, and he has an illegitimate child, isn't it plain to be criticized?

The Li family, which she has run for so many years, is determined not to be defeated by a woman like Zhang Xianglan.

Li Shengcai came very quickly. Just as he entered the room to say hello, the old lady threw the teacup over, and the teacup shattered to Li Shengcai's feet with a "touch".

Li Shengcai frowned, "Why is mother so arrogant?"

"You still have the face to ask me why? I should have prevented you from marrying Zhang Xianglan in the first place. You go out and listen to it yourself. What are the rumors outside?"

The old lady's chest was heaving and unsteady, her eyes were full of sparks.

Li Shengcai thought that what the old lady said was harsh treatment, "Mother, I admit that Xianglan treated Yao'er harshly, but it's not like you don't know the truth."

Li Shengcai felt that Zhang Xianglan had been wronged by this matter. If he hadn't brought the child back and the old lady had forced her to raise her under his wife's lap, there would have been no rumors outside.

"Touch..." The old lady slapped the table with a slap on the table, and said with an ugly face: "Now outsiders suspect that Li Chuyao is an illegitimate child! The reputation of the Li family cannot be ruined by Zhang Xianglan like this!"

Li Shengcai was taken aback, "Why?"

"Go and warn Zhang Xianglan, if you dare to drag the Li family into trouble, she will not be the aunt."

You can tell Li Chuyao about this incident back then, but you must not let outsiders know, otherwise the Li family's century-old reputation of innocence will be ruined in this way.

Li Shengcai still wanted to say something, but seeing the angry look of the old lady, he closed his mouth again when the words came to his lips.

As soon as the person left, the old lady immediately suppressed her anger. She turned her head and asked the nanny, "Is Qian's stomach still not moving?"

"The master rested with the second lady for less than half a month."

The old lady sighed, "I am impatient."

"Does the old lady want to take this opportunity?"

"Well," the old lady nodded, and told the nanny, "Just remind Mrs. Qian carefully."

"Yes."

The old lady waved her hand. She is getting tired easily when she is old.

The nanny helped the old lady back into the house, closed the door lightly, and went out.

The old lady was lying on the chaise longue, looking out the window and thinking.

The Li family only needs to settle that Li Chuyao is not his own. As for the harsh treatment, that is Zhang Xianglan's own business. The aunt is jealous, and she is in vain as a mother. her skills.

It depends on whether her stomach is up to date and whether she can find the right time.

A gust of wind blew outside the window, shaking the rolled dry grass.

On the path, the servants of Li's mansion, seeing Li Shengcai's dark face, carefully stood aside and paid respects.

When I arrived at Zhang Xianglan's courtyard, I only heard Zhang Xianglan angrily scolding the servants and losing her temper.

Li Shengcai frowned, seeing that the servant guarding the gate wanted to report, he raised his hand to stop him.

"Go away, you can't handle even small things, what's the use of you!"

The little servant knelt on the ground, and the maids were trembling, without saying a word.

"What are you angry about?"

Hearing the sudden voice, Zhang Xianglan raised her head, and saw Li Shengcai stepping in, restrained her anger, and walked up to Li Shengcai to salute, "Master, why are you free today?"

Zhang Xianglan hugged his arm and said kindly: "This servant is not sensible and made some mistakes."

Seeing her gentle appearance, Li Shengcai's anger subsided by half. Back then, he liked Zhang Xianglan because of her, no matter what time, he was the only one in his eyes.

"Everyone who serves, go down."

"Yes, master." Nanny Zhang winked at Zhang Xianglan, who nodded.

After the people left, Zhang Xianglan immediately covered her face and cried, her eyes were dim and pitiful.

"Master, I have a hard time and can't tell you about Yao'er, let alone how outsiders speculate, so I don't care about it."

Li Shengcai frowned, the questioning words stuck in his throat.

"I've been in Li's Mansion for so many years, and I've held back this secret for so many years. Now I'm on the cusp of the storm, how could I tell this kind of secret? Master please check it out." After speaking, Zhang Xianglan was about to kneel down.

Li Shengcai hurriedly stopped her. If he was influenced by the old lady at the beginning and wanted to warn Zhang Xianglan severely, all he could do now was pity.

No one knows better than him and the old lady how Li Chuyao got here, but this secret may not be revealed until his death, and Zhang Xianglan can only be wronged.

"Did you mean what you said?"

"Master, it's not that you don't know that my mother has always disliked me. She wished that my mistress' position would be handed over to the second lady. If I spread the word at this time, what good would it do me?"

Zhang Xianglan looked aggrieved, and tears fell down.

Li Shengcai froze, thinking of what the old lady told him to tell him just now, he felt more and more that Zhang Xianglan's guess was right, the old lady couldn't do it, but there were people around the second lady who could do it.

His face was gloomy, and his clenched hands were suddenly held. He turned his head to look at Zhang Xianglan, and reached out to stroke her face, "I have wronged you."

Zhang Xianglan rubbed his palm, Xiao Niaoyiren leaned into his arms, "Master, but this matter..."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." He patted Zhang Xianglan on the back. He didn't dare to refute the old lady. As for the second lady, he won't go there for a few days.

It is also easy to solve this matter, just find a reason why Zhang Xianglan doesn't like Li Chuyao.

The previous reason of the Su family can be used.

Zhang Xianglan sobbed softly and wiped away her tears with a handkerchief.

Fortunately, the servant next to the master came to say hello in advance, otherwise she wouldn't know how to deal with it!

old lady!

Li Chuyao!

These two people caused her to become what she is now, she won't just let it go!

Now that Li Chuyao, that bastard, has left the Li family, don't even think about coming back in this life!

As for this old bastard, half buried in the ground, how can he fight her!

Thinking of this, Zhang Xianglan's eyes flashed with joy, she raised her head, and asked pitifully, "Master, are you coming over tonight?"

Li Shengcai also knew that since he came back from the capital this time, he had neglected his wife. He nodded, "I'll go to the study to deal with things first, and come to accompany you when I'm done."

"But mother..."

Li Shengcai wiped her tears, "I will go and explain to my mother myself, you don't have to worry about it."

From his point of view, Zhang Xianglan could bear the grievances and only get angry at the subordinates, which is considered a good temper.

"Thank you sir."

……

However, within a few days, the rumors in Ye City suddenly changed directions, and the owner of the incident was drinking tea at the inn with his husband.

Gu Lai looked the same as before, holding a pile of ledgers and checking them carefully.

However, the speed of reading the ledger is obviously faster than before.

Hong Shu was also studying on the sidelines, and asked questions in time if he didn't understand.

Although Gu Lai is not a good teacher, he is definitely a good businessman. Many suggestions benefited Hong Shu a lot.

Li Chuyao picked up a cup of tea and clinked it to Zhang Cheng who was opposite him.

Zhang Cheng had a smile on his face, "Brother Yao, why don't you go to the small escort agency in a few days?"

"Brother Zhang, what's the problem?" Li Chuyao raised his eyebrows. No matter how you look at it, this smile is asking for help from others.

"Well, there is a problem."

Li Chuyao pondered for two seconds, and decided to go and see for himself, "Okay, Brother Zhang, you have set a time, just let me know."

"to make."

Su Yu took new tea from the shopkeeper, and just as he was about to brew it, Li Chuyao had already brought the teapot over.

Zhang Cheng felt a toothache from watching the two. He shook his head, got up and left.

"What are you talking about?" Su Yu sat next to Li Chuyao, with an unnatural blush on the tips of his ears.

When Li Chuyao was about to praise him, he let out a muffled laugh, causing Su Yu to stare at him.

"I'm going to the Escort in a few days."

Su Yu nodded, "Yes."

"Do you want to go together?" Li Chuyao held his hand, feeling a little cold, and put the gentle teacup into his palm.

"No." Su Yu shook his head, seeing him frown, and said, "It's inconvenient for you to take me with you."

The escort agency is full of strong and strong men, although he and Li Chuyao are married, it is not suitable to go to a place full of men.Li Chuyao was dealing with things with Zhang Cheng, and he couldn't take care of himself all the time.

He still doesn't make trouble.

Li Chuyao didn't speak, took away the teacup from Su Yu's hand, held it by his side and clenched it tightly.

Su Yu bent his lips.

It's really not a good feeling to be treated so caringly.

It happened that at this time, Mo Yi came in from the backyard carrying a plate of bottles and cans. He first took a look at Li Chuyao and Su Yu, and found that they were sitting normally, and then walked towards them with big strides.

Gu Lai and Hong Shu, who were sitting at another table, were attracted to the attention, stopped the books in their hands, and moved to Li Chuyao's table.

"What are these?" Just as Hong Shu was about to take it, Mo Yanyan slapped it away expressionlessly.
