Zhou Yilin recently sent away two women in succession.
Aunt Yao deceived him by pretending to be pregnant, and Chen Guiyun, who grew up with him, also had impure thoughts. They were all scheming for themselves, and they were not doing anything for him.
And Qi Xiaomei...she has never harmed anyone for so long, and he could hear the sincerity in what she just said. She really hopes that he can have more children.
For such a sincere person, he really didn't know what to say.
Because from the perspective of Qi Xiaomei's own interests, he only has one child, Hua Ge, in this life, which is the best for their mother and son.
Zhou Yilin stood up and said, "Xiao Mei, I will remember your thoughts."
When he came to the door, he said: "Over there, Yue'er, please pay more attention."
Yue'er was the maid who was rumored to be pregnant with Aunt Yao. She was more courageous. She lived in her own courtyard and often sent people over to ask for things.
Chu Yunli agreed.
Zhou Yilin saw that she didn't talk much except when she asked him to do things. She would take all his requests to heart and handle them properly. She couldn't help but add another sentence: "Don't worry,
Soon, the house won’t be so chaotic..."
Hearing this, Chu Yunli's heart moved.
She suddenly discovered that Zhou Yilin seemed to trust her.
What Zhou Yilin told was the truth. Two days later at night, Chu Yunli was suddenly woken up by Dong Yu.
"Auntie, the master has gone and asked all the female relatives to kneel in front of him. Our young master also needs to change into mourning clothes and go there."
When Chu Yunli arrived with Brother Hua, a large number of people were already kneeling in the mourning hall. Brother Hua was Zhou Yilin's only child, and he was considered the grandchild of Zhou Yilin. The wet nurse was holding him and kneeling in front of him.
Beside Chu Yunli, several women were wearing loose clothes and looked too weak to kneel down.
Mrs. Zhou knelt in front of the mourning hall, her face pale but in good spirits. It didn't take long for the pregnant people to go back and rest.
Chu Yunli was not pregnant and was still in charge of Zhou Yilin's backyard, so she had to stay and help at this time. However, Mrs. Zhou was also afraid of something happening, so she took Brother Hua to her yard and let her mother-in-law watch personally.
Before he died, Mr. Zhou had appointed Zhou Yilin as the head of the family, and all the other concubines would move out of the house within a month after he was laid to rest.
According to the rules, the matter of family division must be raised after the filial piety period of the elders in the family is over. Even as long as Mrs. Zhou is still there, the family can not be divided. But as soon as Mr. Zhou's last words came out, the rules did not count, and everything was done as he said.
After all, death is a big deal, and it is not the behavior of a filial son to fail to abide by his last words and make others feel uneasy.
Chu Yunli's status was not enough to entertain guests, but all the affairs of the government were left to her. She also secretly took a look at Mr. Zhou's body, and it was obvious that he died of poisoning.
Think about it, a perfectly healthy person suddenly becomes ill, either due to a sudden illness or being harmed by someone.
Before Mr. Zhou died, he still couldn't let go of his children and grandchildren, and had to let them divide the family. He thought it was someone in the family who had done something to him. He was unwilling to let his brothers kill each other for the sake of the family business.
Mrs. Zhou seemed weak, but she still managed to finish the funeral, and everything went smoothly.
Mr. Zhou had already divided the families before he left. As soon as he was buried there, several stewards came out and took out the account books.
In less than half a month, Zhou Yilin's other brothers had already received their share and could leave the house at any time.
Recently, Chu Yunli has been busy with more things than she had ever put together before. Mrs. Zhou looked at her with cold eyes. She was simple and rude in dealing with things, but she did everything right and never held back. For a girl from the countryside, this was
It's already very rare. If you have her guidance, it won't take long for you to be able to stand alone.
Of course, Mrs. Zhou didn't know that her son's concubine was a capable person and there was no need to learn.
When Zhou Yilin's younger brothers left one by one, the huge mansion became empty.
And Chu Yunli has many times more things to take care of than before.
The Zhang family had known for a long time that their daughter had done something wrong, and they had come to talk to her at first. However, because they were responsible for the fault, they did not ask the Zhou family to release her.
Now that Zhou Yilin has become the head of the family, the Zhang family is still under confinement. The people in the family don't think so, but the Zhang family can't accept it. They originally let their daughter marry in order to make her the mistress of the Zhou family.
This person has been locked up and can't do anything to help him.
Furthermore, no matter how many wrong things she has done, she is still the daughter of the Zhang family. The Zhou family has never let her go, so who are they looking down on?
So, when Chu Yunli went to the main courtyard to deliver the account books that day, as soon as she arrived at the door, she heard her mother-in-law say that there were guests inside.
"They are Madam's natal family."
The mother-in-law lowered her voice: "Auntie, please go back first and don't come in at this time."
Even the servants knew it was inappropriate. Chu Yunli was the one who took over her rights after the Zhang family. If the Zhang family saw her, they would definitely be in trouble even if they couldn't blame her. Chu Yunli made a quick decision and turned around and left.
But it's too late.
"Is that Aunt Qi outside?"
An older female voice sounded: "I have long heard that there is a very capable Aunt Qi who helps my daughter manage the back house, but she has never been able to meet her. Since we met today, I just happened to meet this capable person.
.”
People were shouting, and Chu Yunli was not ashamed. Besides, Mrs. Zhou was still there.
To put it bluntly, beating a dog depends on the owner. If Mrs. Zhang wants to come and embarrass her, she has to ask Mrs. Zhou if she will agree!
Chu Yunli walked in holding the account book.
When Mrs. Zhang saw the account book she was holding, her anger turned from three points to eight points.
"My mother-in-law, how much do you despise my daughter? Would you rather let an aunt take care of the house than let her out?"
Mrs. Zhou was holding a cup of tea with a cold face: "You know what she did."
"If this person marries into your family, he will become a member of your family." Mrs. Zhang was not to be outdone: "If you do something wrong, you will be punished when you need to be punished, you will be punished when you need to be disciplined, and you can even give someone a beating if you are angry. This always puts people at risk.
What does it look like to be locked up? My daughter is not hopelessly stupid. If you teach her well, she will definitely change. If you don't release her, do you want to lock her up for the rest of her life?"
Mrs. Zhang has a very tough attitude.
Mrs. Zhou also knew that in these troubled times, she had to take the Zhang family's face into consideration. In fact, if it weren't for Zhang's good status, she would have divorced her daughter-in-law long ago.
Mrs. Zhang said again: "I came today because I want to see my daughter and also want her to admit her mistake to you. If you don't want to, I will call Yilin. He came to pick up my daughter from the door, but he promised me
He will take care of her for the rest of his life. I will ask him, who can bear the care of him locking people up in the back house and grounding them?"
Zhou Yilin has now taken over the family business for the first time, and is so busy that she doesn't even have time to sleep. Mrs. Zhou is not willing to let such trivial matters annoy her son, because the Zhou family's business is very large, and they have intervened in several houses before. Although they are now separated,
Not all the stewards there are oriented towards the mother and son.
At this time, Zhou Yilin can't be distracted. If he fails to fix it and closes one or two shops, the loss will be huge.
It's just a Zhang family. She can be imprisoned once. If she doesn't behave, she can be imprisoned a second time.
So, Chu Yunli stood on the side and saw Mrs. Zhang being brought in.
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Zhang had lost a lot of weight. He looked less arrogant than before, and became more slender and beautiful.
Mrs. Zhang's eyes turned red when she saw her daughter like this.
"You girl did something wrong, please apologize quickly!"
Ms. Zhang didn't want to be locked up, and she also wanted to apologize, so she secretly went to great lengths to have people send messages to Mrs. Zhou, but the messages she sent out were just like nothing. She didn't know whether it was because the servants didn't send them, or because her mother-in-law didn't want to forgive.
.Hearing what her mother said, she was also smart, stepped forward and knelt down.
Mrs. Zhou was not embarrassed: "Get up. Now that you know you are wrong, you will change it in the future."
Mrs. Zhang was so moved that she burst into tears: "Thank you so much, mother, for being willing to give me this opportunity."
"You just came out. From the way you look like this, you must have been sick before. It's important to take care of yourself first." She looked at Mrs. Zhang and asked, "What do your mother-in-law think?"
Mrs. Zhang already felt that it was an unexpected blessing to be able to release the man, and she was not in a hurry to let her daughter take over the affairs of the back house immediately.
However, before leaving, he was unwilling to give in and secretly glared at Chu Yunli several times.
Chu Yunli felt her gaze and felt that she had been wronged. Qi Xiaomei was not willing to give birth to the child, and she did not even want to enter the house. As for the housekeeper, Chu Yunli had never fought for herself. It was Mrs. Zhou's wishful thinking.
.
It's good now, the Zhang family probably hates her completely.
Mr. Zhang was imprisoned for a while and seemed to have learned well.
In the past, when there was no wife, concubines and maids in the same room did not need to pay greetings. They only needed to contact Chu Yunli occasionally to communicate with each other. But now it is different. When the wife comes out, according to the rules, they have to go and pay greetings.
If you don't go, you deserve to be taught a lesson.
Chu Yunli also went.
Mrs. Zhang did not make things difficult for them.
It is worth mentioning that after the others moved out of the house, the women who pretended to be pregnant no longer received preferential treatment. It was only said that the doctor who visited for pulse diagnosis had misdiagnosed.
One or two misdiagnoses were reasonable, but three women in a row were misdiagnosed, and Zhou Yilin was so thick-skinned that he dared to make up anything.
Mrs. Zhang later came to visit her twice more, saying she was worried about her daughter.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month later, Chu Yunli found Mrs. Zhou and handed back the account book in her hand.
Mrs. Zhou looked at her deeply: "I don't like Mrs. Zhang very much. As the head of the house, she must first correct her identity. She can't do it right. She indulges in the love between her children and is too jealous. Lin Yilin is now
I can't spare any time. I don't want the Zhang family to cause trouble for him, so I compromised temporarily. You can take care of this account book. It won't take long..."
She didn't say what would happen in the near future. But Chu Yunli already understood that Mrs. Zhou was already thinking of changing her daughter-in-law.
Helpless, Chu Yunli couldn't quit this job, so she had to take the account book back with her.
Qi Xiaomei is illiterate and can't manage the accounts at all. Mrs. Zhou insists on letting her take charge of it, obviously just to lose face to Mrs. Zhang.
Chu Yunli had heard from Dong Yu before that Qi Dachang had come to the city again. But he had not heard from him since then, and he did not go to Qi Xiaotao either.
Over time, Chu Yunli put this matter aside.
On this day, Chu Yunli had just gotten up and was feeding the child... When the child gets a little older, he can make some vegetable puree and the like, which is also a kind of food supplement, and can make the body and bones healthier.
I had just finished feeding most of the bowl of rice, and the winter rain came in a hurry, with a look of anxiety on my face.
Seeing her like this, Chu Yunli felt strange.
You know, at this time, the two maids should bring her food. They didn't have a tray in their hands, and they were still in a panic. She asked directly: "What happened?"
Dong Yu was so anxious that her eyes were red: "Mrs. Zhang is here again."
Chu Yunli looked disapproving: "This is not the first time she has come back. If she wants to embarrass me, Madam will stop her."
"It's different this time." Dongxue also stamped her feet anxiously: "She brought your eldest brother with her, saying she came to complain."
Chu Yunli wiped the child's mouth for a moment: "Qi Dachang?"
She took two pieces of snacks, swallowed them whole, and drank a few more sips of water. She asked Dong Yu to look at the child, and then went to Mrs. Zhou's yard.
After Master Zhou left, Mrs. Zhou, although still young, has become the old lady of the family.
The current Mrs. Zhou is the Zhang family. When Chu Yunli arrived, both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were there, and Mrs. Zhang looked filled with indignation.
Chu Yunli set his sights on Qi Dachang.
Qi Dachang's eyes were a little dodgey, but he held on and said: "Sister, you can't blame me for this!"
Chu Yunli stepped forward and saluted.
Mrs. Zhou looked at her condescendingly, her eyes less enthusiastic than before and a little more cold: "Your brother said that before you entered the mansion, you had a sweetheart."
Chu Yunli suddenly remembered what Qi Dachang had threatened her with... If Qi Xiaomei didn't follow what he said and said she was pregnant with twins, Qi Dachang would ruin her reputation.
An unclean woman would be kicked out even if she gave birth to the eldest son's child. Even the child would be implicated. Chu Yunli didn't take it to heart at all at that time, because neither mother nor child were idiots.
I won't believe his nonsense.
Besides, she doesn't have to stay in this house to live.
That's what he said, but Qi Xiaomei doesn't really have a sweetheart, so this reputation must not be tarnished.
Chu Yunli raised his eyes and looked at Mrs. Zhou without feeling guilty: "Madam, you probably know what happened to our sisters. What kind of person Qi Dachang is, I don't need to say more. Mrs. Zhang may not know, so
Only then will he be deceived."
She turned to look at Mrs. Zhang: "I know you don't like me, and you want me to hand over the stewardship of this backyard, but my brother is really not a thing. Nine out of ten of his words are
Fake. You were deceived by him."
Mrs. Zhang sneered: "He is your biological brother. If it is not true, how could he harm you?"
"But there are really none of these things. Do you think I am so capable that I can hide it from the madam and the young master?" Chu Yunli looked coldly: "You only want to hear what you want to hear, but unfortunately, those are not
Really. I don’t know who his sweetheart is, but I swear to God, there is absolutely no such person.”
Mrs. Zhang's eyes were sharp: "When you first entered the mansion, you clearly didn't want to!"
"I really didn't want to, but I still entered the palace and gave birth to the son's child." Chu Yunli said calmly: "Now I am Aunt Qi! Who can guarantee that the lady has not had feelings for anyone before she got married?
?But she is also Mrs. Zhou today!"
Before Zhang got married, she did not know anything about a distant cousin, and the two even exchanged some tokens of love.
Everyone around her knows about this matter. Chu Yunli heard the news because she has been in charge of the backyard for so long... Many people want to please her and will come to her with all kinds of information.
Chu Yunli also learned a lot of secrets.
Mrs. Zhang looked ugly.
Zhang's face turned pale and she secretly glanced at her mother-in-law's expression.
At this moment, Mrs. Zhou's face didn't look good. Even if she wanted to change her daughter-in-law, she hired her daughter-in-law herself. Zhang's unbearable behavior proved that she didn't know how to recognize people.
"Okay, what kind of person was Aunt Qi before? I have sent people to check secretly. What happened to the two sisters is indeed pitiful. The Qi family does not treat girls as human beings. Qi Dachang's words cannot be believed. My mother-in-law, I know you have good intentions.
, but please verify the truth before you come to the door next time, and don’t make this kind of mistake again." After her voice fell, her patience ran out, and she shouted in a loud voice: "Come and see the guests off."
Mrs. Zhang thought that this time she could knock down Aunt Qi's limelight and let her daughter take charge of the family again. She didn't expect that her mother-in-law trusted her so much. She was a little unwilling to do so, but she also knew that after Mrs. Zhou said this, there would be no more
room for return.
"I was also deceived. My mother-in-law must not be angry with me. Besides, I really mean well and have absolutely no selfish intentions."
This is just a matter of listening. Everyone knows whether it is selfish or not.
After Mrs. Zhang left, Mrs. Zhang thought about the things she had done with her distant cousin again. She felt her face was burning, and she was afraid that her mother-in-law would ask questions, so she didn't dare to stay any longer, so she quickly left.
Qi Dachang stood there, always feeling that everyone was looking at him. He was on pins and needles, realizing that he seemed to have done something stupid again.
He had to admit that at this time, he could only get away by begging his sister. But he had offended someone so much, how could it be so easy to ask his sister to help him plead for mercy?
He gritted his teeth and lost his expression: "Little sister, it was Mrs. Zhang who gave me a large sum of money to deliberately create your reputation. She said that you stole her daughter's limelight and wanted me to help.
You gave me two hundred taels of silver, and I also thought that when the matter is completed, we will each have half... Anyway, you don't want to stay in the house. After you take the silver and go out, you will have a place to settle down. We, brother and sister, are equal to each other.
The good thing...I don't want to harm you, I want to help you."
When Chu Yunli heard this, he was not angry, but he really couldn't get angry anymore.
"Have you gone to see your sister?"
Qi Dachang's eyes dodge.
It seems that he still went to find her, but Qi Xiaotao didn't want to cause trouble for her, so he didn't tell her.
Chu Yunli looked at Mrs. Zhou who was looking up: "Madam, how do you want to teach him a lesson?"
Mrs. Zhou waved her hand: "This is your brother, you can decide what to do! But you have to satisfy me."
The last sentence was full of sternness, and he was obviously really angry.
Qi Dachang was startled: "Madam, it's really the madam who asked me to come here to talk nonsense. My sister used to be very well-behaved and never dared to mess around outside. She also listened to my words and never talked to men.
Otherwise, I would not dare to let him know the young master, let alone send her into the house... Madam, please forgive me this time, I was really wrong, and I dare not do it anymore. I have someone in my family.
Both my subordinates and my subordinates are pointing at me to make money to make a living..."
After talking about it, I shed tears and even knelt on the ground.
Really flexible and flexible.
Seeing him like this, Chu Yunli felt more and more bored.
With such a shameless person, Mrs. Zhou would definitely not want to argue with him. Sure enough, after looking at him for a while, Mrs. Zhou said: "Aunt Qi, send him away. He is not allowed to appear in the house again."
Chu Yunli sent him out.
Qi Dachang couldn't believe that he could really escape safely. When he got to the yard, he still felt like he was dreaming. He turned to look at his sister next to him: "You really don't want to be angry with me, little sister, what do you think, let's
The brother and sister each have one hundred taels of silver, and they have everything to do. Even if they don't work for the rest of their lives, they will have food, drink, and someone to take care of them."
Chu Yunli didn't answer and sent the person directly to the door. She turned to look at the concierge next to her: "Are there any extra guards in the house?"
There must be some.
In such a big mansion, people would occasionally come to the door to cause trouble. If there were no guards, and someone would just knock the door in, it would be unpleasant to hear!
The concierge already knew Aunt Qi's identity and that he was in charge of the back house recently, so he did not dare to neglect her and hurriedly called for several people to come over.
Seven or eight guards came forward, carrying sticks and looking fierce: "Auntie, what are your orders?"
Chu Yunli waved his hand: "Give this man a beating. He deliberately ruined my reputation and almost implicated the young master. Madam is very angry."
After hearing this, everyone was no longer polite and gathered around him.
Qi Da realized that something was wrong and hurriedly shouted: "I am your aunt's biological brother. She is only temporarily angry with me. She doesn't really want to teach me a lesson. If you hurt me, she will definitely settle the score with you later."
…”
Chu Yunli said: "As long as you don't beat the person to death, anything will work!" After thinking about it, she added: "Break one of his legs!"
Qi Dachang was so frightened that he lost his mind.
But before he could plead for mercy, the stick was applied to his body, and he couldn't help but scream.
Chu Yunli watched indifferently and did not say anything to stop him.
The dull sound of the stick falling on the flesh was mixed with screams for a long time. When everyone retreated, Qi Dachang was already covered in injuries. He was curled up on the ground, shaking non-stop.
One leg in particular was bent unnaturally and the leg bones were obviously broken.
Chu Yunli looked down from a high position and said: "If you dare to come again, next time, it won't be as simple as breaking your leg."
Qi Da was often frightened again. W, please keep in mind:, free and fastest update, non -theft, non -theft
