After nearly three years, most of the removal of Taniguchi Mountain has been completed. The excavated rock has become the best material for building the city wall, and the valley at the other end of the mountain has been used by people who are interested in planting many trees.
Valuable medicinal materials.
The expansion of the city seemed to be going very smoothly. At the same time, some families began to bring in people from nearby areas to fill the underpopulated Changgu City.
In fact, there is no shortage of people in Changgu City, or it is not that there are no people coming. It’s just that Changgu City used to be relatively conservative and unwilling to accept people from outside. Now that the city has expanded, it has to accept some people. However, these people who come,
Most of them became coolies, doing the lowest things, and this is what happens when many cities expand. As time goes by, people will naturally climb up from the bottom.
Lin Haoming seemed to be busy opening mountains and expanding the city, but he was thinking about Li Yufei's affairs. However, Li Yufei asked him to wait, so Lin Haoming could only wait. As a result, after waiting for more than half a year, Lin Haoming suddenly received some unexpected news that day. Li Yufei
The maid actually had an affair with someone else and even got pregnant with a child, and the person she had the affair with was a young master from the Yi family, the three largest families in Changgu City.
Because important families in Changgu City are involved, and Li Yufei is the daughter-in-law of the Nangong family, Lin Haoming, the city lord, also has to participate in household affairs.
Yi Fanchen also came to the courtyard where Li Yufei lived. Lin Haoming also saw the young master of the Yi family and knew that this guy was Yi Fanchen's grandson, and he had been very favored before.
When Lin Haoming came, the maid and Yi Fanchen's grandson were kneeling in the inner hall, and Li Yufei and Yi Fanchen were talking. Their tone sounded not so kind.
My daughter came with me for nothing, but after arriving here, she ran to find Nangong Huan instead. Ever since she bullied Nangong Huan on the way here, Nangong Huan was afraid of her daughter, but she actually liked this girl very much.
Lin Haoming could only let him bully him.
After Lin Haoming walked into the inner hall, the two of them stopped talking. Looking at this scene, Lin Haoming smiled and asked: "What's wrong, you two?"
"Mr. Lin, Elder Yi's grandson has harmed my maid with his sweet words. Now he just says that he is willing to take a concubine and that's it. This maid of mine has been with me since I entered Nangong's house. Although she has been flirting with people in private.
It is indeed wrong, but after all, the relationship between our master and servant is not shallow, and more importantly, we are already pregnant with someone else's flesh and blood, can't we even enter the Yi family?" Li Yufei said rudely, all for herself.
The maid seeks justice.
When Lin Haoming heard this, he couldn't help but admire Li Yufei's methods. He obviously looked for opportunities to get rid of this maid, but he did it as if she didn't get ahead of her. He probably felt grateful for being sold. In fact, from the look in the maid's eyes, he did see
to this point.
"City Master Lin, my grandson has made an engagement with someone else. Although we haven't gotten married yet, I can't regret my engagement with someone else, right?" Yi Fanchen said helplessly.
"Elder Yi, since your grandson already has a fiancée, don't do such a thing. If you do it, then you have to bear it. But you said that it is really troublesome to have a marriage contract. How about taking her as an equal wife? At least
I need to give him a formal title." Lin Haoming compromised.
After hearing this, Yi Fanchen still shook his head and said: "City Master Lin, the person who made the engagement with my boy is a girl from the Yang family. The other party will never accept an equal wife!"
"Yang family, daughter of Protector Yang's family?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Yes, although it is a side branch, it is very popular with Mrs. Yang. It was not easy to decide on this marriage!" Yi Fanchen said helplessly.
"The daughter of Protector Yang's family is indeed valuable, and the maids of my Nangong family are indeed not as valuable as them. Since they are not comparable, it's okay. Mr. Lin, you are the lord of Changgu City. What kind of crime should you say if the bad guy is innocent?" Li Yufei shouted deliberately angrily.
asked.
"Mrs. Li, I have already said that although your maid has the status of a concubine after marrying here, my Yi family will definitely not really treat her as a concubine. Can't Madam consider my difficulties?"
Fanchen asked anxiously.
"Difficulties? Is it only you, Yi Fanchen, who has difficulties? I, Li Yufei, married into the Nangong family, but I couldn't even keep my own maid. Don't I have difficulties?" Li Yufei roared angrily.
When Yi Fanchen heard these words, he knew that this matter was difficult to handle. Obviously, it involved Li Yufei's status in the Nangong family. After all, Li Yufei was the wife of the legitimate son of the Nangong family, and she also had a grandson. It was really difficult to deal with.
"Elder Yi, after all, your own grandson did this. You can't blame others. The marriage contract between your Yi family and the Yang family. Do you have other legitimate sons in your Yi family? How about changing the marriage contract to someone else?" Lin Haoming suggested.
.
"City Master Lin, I do have other grandsons, but the young lady from the Yang family likes my grandson, and there's nothing I can do about it!" Yi Fanchen said helplessly.
"Grandpa, I don't want to marry that woman from the Yang family!" At this moment, Yi Fanchen's grandson took the initiative to speak.
"What did you say?" Yi Fanchen immediately became angry after hearing this.
"Grandpa, I've seen that woman three times, and not once did I see her being domineering. Grandpa, I really don't like her!" Yi Fanchen's grandson gritted his teeth and explained.
"Haha, Elder Yi, I think your grandson is more sensible." Li Yufei said with a smile.
"Elder Yi, since your grandson is not willing, I think we should just accept this excuse and refuse the marriage, or choose another person in your family to see?" Lin Haoming asked.
"City Master Lin, if I do this, I will offend the Yang family!" Yi Fanchen said with an ugly expression.
"Why, you are afraid of offending the Yang family, but you are not afraid of offending my Nangong family. Is it because the Nangong family is not as good as others in your eyes, Yi Fanchen?" Li Yufei asked.
"Of course not, it's just that things always come first!"
"Well said, there is indeed a first-come, first-served situation. My maid is already pregnant with your grandson, and your grandson is only engaged but not married. Isn't it clear that first-come, first-served does exist?" Li Yufei asked again.
"This... this..." Yi Fanchen was told by Li Yufei that he didn't know how to refute it for a while.
"Elder Yi, I think this matter is because your Yi family feels that Mrs. Li's status as a maid is just a maid, and it will be difficult to explain it at that time. But judging from Mrs. Li's attitude, she doesn't really treat her as a maid. I think so,
Mrs. Li, please adopt your maid as your adopted daughter. In this way, you will have an identity. Elder Yi will be able to explain it easily. Elder Yi, please don’t get angry. As the saying goes, forceful melons are not sweet.
Since your grandson doesn't like the young lady from the Yang family, why force him? If the eldest lady becomes angry, it will be bad. Do you think so? And if it really happens, doesn't it also mean that he has a relationship with the Nangong family?
