As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are women, there is gossip. In Cao Mingzhu's house, Su Liu could see the shamelessness of other members of the Cao family, especially Cao Mingjun.
"It's only because you have a good temper that you can let her be arrogant and trouble you." Su Liu held a cup of hot tea and glanced sideways at Cao Mingzhu.
Cao Mingzhu showed a wry smile and said: "It doesn't matter, these gold and silver things are all external possessions. It can stop their mouths and not cause trouble. Besides, I don't have many days to talk to them like this."
It’s just a joke, it’s just a gift to their sisters.”
Su Liu snorted lightly and said: "It is true that problems that can be solved with money are the easiest. But Cao Mingjun really makes me look at him differently. He dares to shame me so blatantly. Is there something wrong with her here?
?" She pointed to her head with her index finger.
Just now, Cao Mingjun was sarcastically trying to get rid of her, but Su Liu was not a fuel-efficient lamp. She didn't get any relief, but made her lose face. Thinking about the future, they and the four-fang family will have many fights and disputes.
It's not pleasing to the eye.
Cao Mingzhu chuckled, then raised the corner of her lips coldly and said, "How can I not know what they are thinking? I only want to have a step-heir so that I can inherit our family business. Now that my mother has entered the house, she is naturally anxious."
Su Liu sneered and said: "I think it's not just them who are anxious, but also some people who are anxious. Nowadays, brides are starting to get married. Even though my mother is already thirty-three years old, there are many people who have given birth at such an advanced age. Tell me, who is willing to give it to you?
The duck has flown?”
Cao Mingzhu's heart skipped a beat and she stared at Su Liu: "What do you mean?"
Su Liu nodded and sighed: "It's not that I want to make people's hearts gloomy, but it's that people's hearts are old and they can do anything when it comes to their own interests."
If Mrs. Chen is really still able to conceive an heir, then how would those who only want to have a step-heir be so generous and allow this child to be born? I am afraid that Mr. Chen will also have a difficult life in the future.
A wealthy family had many disputes. Cao Kui had no concubines, so he had peace in the backyard. However, he had no sons, and he had said in the past that he would adopt the family if he had no children. For his own benefit, it was better for Cao Kui not to have any biological children.
Speaking of this, Su Liu also admired Cao Kui a little. For so many years, despite the pressure, he never married again. He didn't even have a concubine. Even if he had no heirs, he never took a concubine for this reason. He would rather adopt one.
"Tell me, why didn't your father give birth to a son in the first place? If he had a son, there wouldn't be such a thing." Su Liu asked strangely.
Cao Mingzhu sighed and said, "It's also because of me. My father and mother used to be very affectionate. After my mother passed away, firstly, my father didn't have that thought, and secondly, he was afraid that having a son would dilute my love, and he was afraid of what would happen later.
He was mean to me. I remember he once said that even if I am destined to have no children, I still want to make my life safe. The pearl is the pearl that he will hold in his hands for the rest of his life."
Su Liu was slightly startled, then sighed and said, "He really loves you." For the sake of his daughter, he would rather be single than childless. This kind of father's love is as important as Mount Tai.
Cao Mingzhu nodded and said: "I also know how much pressure dad is under. I hate that I am a daughter and my abilities are limited, so I had to recruit a wife in the past, but the result was..."
"Fortunately it didn't happen, otherwise Brother Song would have cried." Su Liu chuckled.
Cao Mingzhu's face was slightly red, she glared at her, and said angrily: "It is also destined to happen. I also thought that my father would die alone. Who would have thought that today would happen. It would be better if my mother really had a son at an advanced age.
Already."
Su Liu raised her eyebrows while holding the tea and said: "Oh? Aren't you afraid that if you have a son, all the family property will fall into the hands of that child? You know, if there is no son, as the eldest lady of the Cao family, at least you will
I can control 60 to 70% of this family's business."
Cao Mingzhu shook her head and said: "Why do I, a daughter of a family, need so much money and silk? Huaibi is guilty, I still understand this. Besides, the dowry prepared by my father is enough for me to eat and drink for three lifetimes."
Already."
Su Liumo Ran is right, money is an external possession. It is a good thing for a little woman to be rich, but she must be able to keep it. If Cao Mingzhu really controls 60% to 70% of the Cao family's business, there will be no one to protect it.
Sooner or later, someone will rob you. In more serious cases, your life will not be saved.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. There is no need to spoil the fun. Now that you are going to marry into the prefect's family, they will have to do something secretly and they have to think carefully before doing so." Su Liu said.
Cao Mingzhu raised her eyebrows and said teasingly: "No, there is also our general's wife here. If anyone who doesn't have a good eye wants to bump into her, just give it a try."
Su Liufen's face turned slightly red, she glanced sideways and said, "Sure enough, we are already very brave now that we are engaged."
Cao Mingzhu laughed and said, "Tell me, has dad entered the bridal chamber?"
"Let's go take a look?" Su Liu smiled evilly.
Cao Mingzhu spat at her and called the maid to check it out. She came back a short time later and said that the master had just entered the main courtyard, but the lights were still on. Both of them were quite disappointed.
In the main courtyard of Zhengde Hall, Cao Kui and Chen were sitting side by side on the wedding bed. Their clothes were tied, and there were many auspicious things scattered on their bodies. Even Chen's hair bun was stained with a longan.
The two of them were speechless, both a little embarrassed. Chen even lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
With a click, the candle flame burst out into a loud lantern, breaking the silence between the two of them.
"Uh, are you hungry? Do you want someone to bring you some late-night snacks?" Cao Kui sat upright and looked at Chen slightly sideways and asked.
Mrs. Chen raised her head, showed a gentle smile, shook her head and said: "I have used a lot just now, and I am not hungry now. Where is the master? Do you eat wine to cushion your stomach?"
"Not to mention, I'm really hungry." Cao Kui smiled and touched his stomach.
"Then let someone prepare a midnight snack?" Mrs. Chen stood up immediately after hearing this.
Cao Kui took her hand and said, "I'm not busy. Isn't there still some food on the table over there? Just use it with me."
Mrs. Chen was startled by his hand. She wanted to pull away, but was held tighter. Her face felt hot. Seeing that she couldn't pull back, she let him go.
The two opened up the topic and became less embarrassed. They ate snacks and talked, which also washed away the estrangement. Until the servant put everything away, Mrs. Chen became nervous again and stammered.
She said authentically: "I, I, will be here to help you groom yourself."
"Mei Niang." Cao Kui couldn't help but smile when he saw her nervousness. He pulled her to the bedside and said, "Today you enter my Cao family, you are my Cao Kui's wife. We will have decades of love in the future."
Life has to go on, how can it be good to be so unfamiliar?
"I, I'm just not used to it." Mrs. Chen looked at him and said with some uneasiness: "You also know that my background is not good. If I don't do well, you..."
"You are very good, really." Cao Kui put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Don't worry, since you married me, I will protect you throughout your life."
Chen's mind calmed down slightly, and she tentatively leaned her head on his chest and hummed softly.
Cao Kui's heart moved slightly, he raised her face, lowered his lips, and pulled down the red gauze curtains on both sides with one hand.
"Miss, miss." The maid Yu'er walked briskly into Cao Mingzhu's house and said happily: "The lights in the master's house have been turned off."
Cao Mingzhu and Su Liu looked at each other, raised their eyebrows, then blushed slightly, each coughed, and then looked at each other and smiled.
Some people are happy, some are sad, and some are lamenting the joy of marrying a new bride in the Cao Mansion. They all say privately that Mrs. Chen is so lucky to have a good daughter and a good marriage, and she can also remarry and become the mistress of a wealthy family.
Some people say that Cao Kui was very lucky. His own daughter married into an official family, and his stepdaughter's future status was even more impressive. This marriage was really well done.
After working for a day, Su Liu did not go back to her house, so she rested at the Cao Mansion. She had originally planned that even if Chen remarried, she and Su Xiao would still live in their house and come here by chance.
Live in the Cao Mansion to accompany Mrs. Chen.
Although Chen and the others were dissatisfied, they could not win over their daughter, so they had no choice but to agree. However, the Cao Mansion had already prepared several courtyards as residences for Su Liu, the sisters, and Chen Ye.
For convenience, Su Liu and Su Xiao's courtyard were in the same courtyard, next to Cao Mingzhu's Suqiu Garden, in the east chamber. The house was brightly lit, and Su Liu frowned as he listened to Shuang Ning's inquiring news.
"I heard that things were not going well in the early hours of this morning. When I rushed over, people were already gone and I couldn't close my eyes. The old lady passed out immediately after seeing it. When she woke up, I wiped her eyes myself. It was strange.
, the old lady wiped it and closed it." Shuang Ning said in a suppressed voice.
Su Liu sighed and asked, "She didn't make any noise?"
"How can we not make trouble? Second Uncle Su smashed the Zhou family and demanded compensation from the Zhou family." Shuang Ning gestured with her fingers and said, "I want compensation of one hundred taels."
Su Liu was startled, then sneered and said, "Can the Zhou family get a hundred taels?"
Since Mr. Zhou retired, the Zhou family has not been as good as before. There are two more patients like this in the family. The money is just like filling a hole, and a lot of medicine expenses have been spent. I heard that Zhou Yaozu’s father also bought
I gave birth to a young girl and am planning to have another one, but unfortunately there is no news yet.
"That's why there's such a fuss. I can't get over this matter." Shuang Ning said with her little nose raised.
"That's right. If you don't make a fuss, that's not Huang's style. If your precious daughter is gone and the old house is like this, she has to make a fortune no matter what." Su Liu said calmly.
Shuang Ning was silent, and she was also speechless for that top-notch family.
"Mrs. Xinxi, don't talk about such things in front of her. Don't worry, Tonggui has nothing to do with us." Su Liu ordered in a low voice.
It's not that she's cruel, but that it's pointless to do anything else now that the situation has come to this point. Since she's already been torn apart, why should she act hypocritically and show no sympathy?
Finally killed one~
small theater:
Cannon fodder Su Jinfeng: I don’t accept it. The Yin family didn’t kill people, smash, loot and burn. They just coveted the male lead. Even if Zha Yan made him a fifth- or sixth-tier supporting role, he still died in such a miserable way~
Su Liu (calmly): It’s July, so the switch has been opened. Every wrong has its owner, and every debt has its owner. Go find Zha Yan~
Zha Yan: The Lun family didn’t do it on purpose. They became scum by accident. How about reincarnating and dying again?
Su Jinfeng: Cannon fodder is so innocent. There is no worst, only worse!
