Chapter 182 The Poor Girl Climbing High Branches (End)
In Qi Xiaomei's memory, Mrs. Lin was a somewhat timid woman who only made promises, but she did not dare to refute anything decided by a man.
Qi Xiaotao and her newlywed husband happened to be chatting with each other. Chu Yunli didn't want to disturb them, so she asked the coachman to go back and set up the carriage.
Chu Yunli returned to the village where the Qi family lived. Ever since Qi Xiaomei was picked up by Zhou Yilin, she has not been back. However, the memory of this courtyard left to Qi Xiaomei is not very good, and she is not happy to come back.
But now that something happened to Qi Dachang, Chu Yunli should come over anyway. When she arrived, there was no one in the courtyard.
When other people in the village saw her coming back, they all thought it was strange. Some people had gone to the town to borrow money from her before. As long as they were really in urgent need of money, she was quite generous. Facing such a person, even if she didn't interact with him,
Okay, you definitely can’t offend me.
Again, if you keep frequent contact with a kind-hearted person who is willing to lend money, you will have a place to open your mouth in these difficult times. So, not long after Chu Yunli’s carriage stopped, an aunt enthusiastically said that Lin was taking
The two children returned to their parents' home.
Chu Yunli smiled and thanked him, then asked: "What about my brother?"
The aunt shook her head: "I didn't look at anyone today, so I should have gone."
Even if you heard the news about selling Qi Dachang, you wouldn't want to talk about it. After all, this matter is too big for most people to even think about. Lin seems to be an honest person... What if he didn't do it?
The person who reported the news became a villain who instigated the relationship between other couples.
Furthermore, if this person was really sold, he could hide it from the sky, but he would definitely not be able to hide it for a month.
The Lin family was in another village. It took half an hour to walk, but they could make a carriage very quickly. Chu Yunli was determined to find out clearly, so she rushed there immediately.
Qi Dachang was indeed gone. When Chu Yunli arrived, Mrs. Lin was crying in the yard. Her mother was holding the child and comforting her softly. Father Lin had a serious look on his face.
As for the older child, Chu Yunli didn't see it.
Chu Yunli's current carriage was a special sight no matter where it went. Many people from the Lin family village came to watch the excitement. With such a big movement, Lin's father immediately realized that something was wrong.
When the Lin family saw Chu Yunli at the door, they couldn't help but look at each other. Mrs. Lin was pushed by her mother. After reacting, she wiped her tears and went to the fence: "Little sister, why are you here?"
"I went home and there was no one there. I heard from the neighbor that you were here, so I came over here." Chu Yunli searched around the yard with his eyes: "Where is my brother?"
Mrs. Lin's eyes evaded: "He...he ran out to brag to others."
Chu Yunli asked: "Which house did you go to? That's right, I have something very important to tell him."
"He usually likes to run around, and I don't know where he is." Mrs. Lin looked embarrassed: "If you are in a hurry to return to town, tell me the same thing."
"That's true." Chu Yunli did not continue to embarrass her, and said: "Actually, it's nothing. I just agreed before that I asked my eldest brother to return the betrothal gift that my sister and I received, which is eleven taels in total!"
Lin's expression changed slightly: "Our family simply can't get it."
"What you collected back then was real gold and silver. I don't care whether you can get it or not. Anyway, I must collect this debt." Chu Yunli looked serious and spoke loudly: "If not, then I will follow
Big brother, let’s talk about the fact that he sold his two sisters. If he can’t get the money, I will ruin his reputation.”
Mrs. Lin was a little frightened and subconsciously turned back to look at her father.
Father Lin came forward and said, "His aunt is not an outsider. It's rare for you to come here and come in to talk if you have anything to say."
Chu Yunli didn't move: "It's my sister's big day, and they are still waiting for me to go back for dinner. It's getting late, and I've finished talking. Anyway, I want to see the money in two days! Otherwise, I will
Let’s have a good discussion with Qi Dachang!”
Mrs. Lin moved her lips.
Chu Yunli turned and left: "If he is not here, then I will come back another day. The monk can't run away from the temple. His home is here, where can he run? Even if he disappears in the village to hide, I will ask the young master to find him.
come out."
In fact, when Chu Yunli left the house, she said she was coming back to see her sister off for marriage. Logically speaking, the wedding was done today and she should leave immediately. She would have to go back tomorrow at the latest.
But she didn't plan to return to the house to stay for a long time this time, so she wasn't in a hurry.
The carriage left, and everyone in the Lin family yard looked at each other.
Mrs. Lin reacted quickly, caught up and said, "Little sister, your brother really ran away overnight."
Chu Yunli didn't even look back: "Then I'll go back and ask the young master to help me find him. If he's alive, he'll see the person, if he's dead, he'll see the body."
In the eyes of the villagers, the Zhou family was rich and powerful and could never be offended. If such a family wanted to find someone, they would just have to talk.
Mrs. Lin was a little anxious and wanted to say a few more words, but the carriage quickly disappeared into the village.
Back in town, dinner was ready. Qi Xiaotao was looking for someone everywhere. When he saw Chu Yunli coming back, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Seeing that your carriage was not there, I thought you had gone back."
"How is that possible?" Chu Yunli stepped forward to help get the bowl: "Even if I have to leave, I will make it clear to you."
The three of them sat down to eat. The newlyweds there were as good as honey, and Chu Yunli really felt that she was redundant.
As soon as the dishes and chopsticks were removed, Mrs. Lin came.
She held her child under one year old in her arms and cried when she entered the house. The child also cried endlessly. The mother and child were particularly pitiful.
"Little sister, your brother is a bastard. He ran away overnight and couldn't even be found. He left those bad debts to us orphans and widows... I don't want to owe you, but if I want to pay back, I have to leave my family behind."
Our house and land have been sold... How can you bear to see us orphans and widowed mothers sleeping on the road?" She handed the crying child forward: "This is also the blood of your Qi family!"
Chu Yunli only found it funny: "Qi Dachang doesn't do human affairs, and he doesn't raise children. The biological father of this child doesn't care about him, but you come to take care of us outsiders... When it comes to Qi family blood, I don't even recognize Qi Dachang.
, let alone his child? To put it bluntly, based on what you and your wife did to our sisters, the more miserable your family is, the happier I am."
She stood up: "This matter is not negotiable. The debt... must be repaid."
Lin's face turned pale.
Chu Yunli looked at it coldly, and said magnanimously: "I can't do anything to force you orphans and widowed mothers. Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. Qi Dachang sold our sisters and spent all the money. No matter how much he owed, I
I won't force you. It doesn't matter if he runs away, I can always find him."
Ms. Lin: "..." If she is found, she will be doomed!
Maybe it will also drag down my mother's family.
At this moment, Ms. Lin began to regret the things she had done. If she were still alive, she would not be as worried as this.
When she took action before, she also thought that Qi Xiaomei would not let go of their orphans and widowed mothers... But her father said that Qi Xiaomei was not short of this little money. She just resented Qi Dachang. If he is gone, the hatred will naturally disappear. With Qi Xiaomei's willingness
The kindness of taking care of the people in the village should not push the orphans and widowed mothers to a dead end.
Now that I think about it, what my father said is not entirely correct.
Lin stood outside Qi Xiaotao's courtyard, looking at the high courtyard wall and feeling cold all over.
No, we can’t let the Zhou family find someone.
Logically speaking, Qi Xiaomei is a concubine and should not be able to control the prince. But she is a little different from other concubines. She gave birth to the prince's only child, and she can also go home to give birth to her sister. This kind of preferential treatment is not available to ordinary people.
You can go home to see your bride, and it shouldn't be difficult to ask the young master to help find someone. Thinking of this, Mrs. Lin felt panicked.
She hurried back to the village with her child in her arms.
Father Lin was waiting on a trail not far from the town. When he saw his daughter coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet her and took the child over: "How is it?"
Mrs. Lin's tears fell instantly and she repeated what her sister-in-law had said exactly.
After hearing this, Lin's father looked serious: "If you want to stop her from finding someone, you have to pay back these debts." He closed his eyes: "Well, just think of it as bad luck. "
He sent the person away before, promising not to care whether he lived or died, and gave him seven taels of silver. Adding to the original one tael in his daughter's hand, there was still a shortage of three taels. He ran to sell an acre of the Qi family's land.
The next evening, Mrs. Lin came to the door with money.
Originally, Chu Yunli didn't find out where Qi Dachang had gone, but seeing how eager Lin was, what else didn't he understand?
What the aunt said is 99% true.
However, Chu Yunli only wanted to recover Qi Xiaomei's debt and didn't want to worry about anything else. She looked at the money in front of her and said: "I don't want to force you orphans and widowed mothers. You can take this money back. Qi Dachang owes me, and I will do it myself."
I will ask him for it."
Lin: "..." How can this be done?
She pushed forward like a piece of silver: "Qi Dachang and I are husband and wife, and we have two children. We have long been inseparable from each other. What he owes is what I owe. I will return this silver to you, just keep it!" Seeing that Qi Xiaomei couldn't help but
Then, she wiped her tears and said, "Even if he is not a thing, he is also the father of my child. I'm afraid that the young master will be too harsh and hurt him again. Little sister, your mother's family is so unbearable, it's best not to let the young master know. You put it
Once the money is collected, the debt between us will be cancelled!"
Chu Yunli refused: "I want to find Qi Dachang to repay the debt."
Mrs. Lin suddenly became anxious: "I'm begging you, don't embarrass your brother anymore, okay?"
Speaking of this, Chu Yunli reached out to accept the money.
When Lin saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief and almost ran away.
Chu Yunli returned the three taels that belonged to Qi Xiaotao to her.
Qi Xiaotao took the silver and was in a daze: "You really returned it?" After realizing it, she pushed the silver back again: "You helped me advance the three taels before, keep these!"
Chu Yunli put the silver into her hand: "I don't lack these, this belongs to you, keep it, don't refuse anymore. I have something to do back in the city, and I will leave the day after tomorrow at most."
Hearing this, Qi Xiaotao's heart was filled with the sadness of being separated from her sister. Thinking that her sister didn't even have anyone to help her in the huge Zhou Mansion, she felt uneasy no matter how hard she thought about it, so she couldn't help but start to give instructions.
You have to be low-key, be careful, and don't mean to harm others, but don't let others harm you either.
Tian Yingjin was leaning on the bed first, drinking a little wine, and was enjoying himself. The door was pushed open, and his sweetheart Yinghong, who was taking care of him, ran in. She was panting from exhaustion, holding her stomach with her hands, and looked at him with eyes that almost squirted.
Fire is coming.
This look is wrong. Tian Yingjin’s face was full of surprise: “What’s wrong with you?”
Yinghong became a widow four years ago and began to secretly interact with Tian Yingjin not long after that. However, she knew very well that what she got was the best, and she was willing to let him take advantage, but she would never let him sleep with her. Of course,
I get a lot of daily benefits.
That is to say, after Qi Xiaotao left, Yinghong felt that she could marry him, and then they became husband and wife.
Calculating the time, it was only half a year. She had already discovered that she was feeling a little unwell, but she was too embarrassed to go to the doctor for a woman's disease, so she used some folk prescriptions. After taking the medicine, her condition improved slightly, but she still
It couldn't be cured. Yesterday, her condition worsened, and she couldn't bear it anymore, so she ran to see a doctor. Then she learned... This is a legendary internal disease that cannot be cured!
After she became a widow, there were a lot of men hanging around her door. She didn't dare to accept people casually, she was afraid of this. She didn't expect that she was afraid of what she was afraid of, so she was so cautious, but she still got infected.
The doctor has just said that her condition is already serious and there is almost no possibility of cure. In other words, she and I will die because of this disease!
Other than this kind of thing, how could Yinghong endure it?
Seeing the man pretending to be stupid, she became furious and stepped forward to overturn the table: "I drank from your ancestors and harmed my mother like this. Tian Yingjin, if I die, you will never live!"
There was such a big commotion, but the two brothers and sisters poked their heads outside and seemed to have attracted neighbors. No one wants this kind of disease, and it would be embarrassing to live after it spreads. Tian Yingjin certainly refused to admit it: "I'm not sick, who knows where you are from
Dyed?"
He turned his eyes and said plausibly: "If I am sick, how can Qi Xiaotao still get married?"
This is what Yinghong can't figure out.
After Qi Xiaotao contracted the disease, even if she survived temporarily, no one would be willing to marry her.
But Chen Dazhuang held her in the palm of his hand. After the two got married, their every gesture was full of affection. They were so close in front of outsiders, and they would definitely not become a fake couple.
Yinghong glared at him angrily: "Aside from that damn guy in my family, you are the only man I have."
Tian Yingjin rogue said: "Who knows whether this is true or not? You live in a hospital by yourself, even if you change husbands every night, no one will know!"
If Yinghong really did those things, it would be fine, but she really didn't. When she heard this, she felt even more angry. She immediately rushed forward, scratching and scratching.
Tian Yingjin injured his leg and had difficulty moving. He wanted to hide, but he couldn't.
The more Yinghong beat him, the angrier he became. She simply grabbed the wine bottle and hit him on the head hard. For a person in a rage, the harder it is, the better.
Just like that, blood oozed from Tian Ying's head.
When Yinghong saw Yin Hong in her palm, she was startled and hurriedly backed away. Then she turned around and ran away.
The doctor in the town said that the disease could not be cured. Qi Xiaotao had gone to the city to live for so long, so she might have gone to the city for treatment. Yinghong didn't want to sit and wait for death, so she had to go to the city.
When she ran to the door and thought of something, she turned back and pinched Tian Yingjin's neck: "Give me the money."
Tian Yingjin will not give it.
He had a good life and always had a good financial situation. Yinghong took care of him, but he also paid her wages, and he felt that he had not treated her badly.
Seeing his stubbornness, Yinghong became furious: "You have hurt me like this, so you have to give me money to treat me! If you don't give me money, I will kill you!"
She was so frightened by the disease that she really had the idea of dying together with Tian Yingjin.
Tian Yingjin was a little frightened, but he still gave her two taels.
Yinghong turned around and ran away with the silver, and got on the carriage to the city that day.
The quarrel between the two was still heard by many people. Therefore, the news that Tian Yingjin had a heart disease secretly spread around the town.
Originally, his son was already sixteen, and at the age when marriage was proposed, some people wanted to marry their daughter to the Tian family. After all, their family had some money, and if their daughter got married, she would at least have enough food and clothing. The only concern was that Tian Yingjin had a bad reputation and secretly made love with Tian Yingjin.
Many women flirt with each other. If the son Xiao's father, wouldn't he push his daughter into a pit of fire?
Fortunately, Tian Yingjin's eldest son looked good and looked like a talented person. Someone wanted to take advantage of him first... Hearing that Tian Yingjin had such a disease, they immediately gave up the idea.
I heard that if you don't mix the clothes you wash and wash together, you will get the disease. Living under the same roof... is really too dangerous.
Tian Jiaojiao secretly interacted with a young man. Although the two did not say it openly, they secretly gave each other gifts. They only waited for her brother to come to propose marriage after the marriage was agreed.
After this happened, the boy's mother directly issued a death order to cut off all contact with Tian Jiaojiao.
When Tian Jiaojiao learned about this, she burst into tears and hated her father to the core.
Both brothers and sisters complained about their father and did not come forward to take care of them. Tian Yingjin also knew that he was a bastard and had brought trouble to his children. He took out his savings and gave most of his savings to his son and the other half to his daughter... Then,
He had someone carry him away from the village.
Qi Xiaotao was seriously ill at first, but after a trip to the city, she still looked for her husband, which shows that she found a good doctor.
Tian Yingjin didn't want to die and planned to try his luck.
The day Chu Yunli left the town, it was sunny and sunny. Qi Xiaotao sent her outside the town, holding her sister's hand and reluctant to let go.
If it weren't for my sister, even if she was still alive, she would still be struggling in the mud pit of the Tian family. How could she have the good life she has now?
"Little sister, if something happens, remember to send me a message."
Qi Xiaotao had previously made a fuss about severing relations with Tian Yingjin. Although everyone felt that the Tian family was unkind and forced him to leave, some people thought that Qi Xiaotao did not abide by women's ethics.
Nowadays, everyone has changed their views on Qi Xiaotao.
Firstly, Tian Yingjin really doesn't look good. Secondly, the two sisters are kind-hearted and short on taking advantage of others. When they benefit from others, they naturally want to say good things to them.
It is worth mentioning that Tian Yingjin did not dare to stay in the city longer. He had not forgotten that Zhou Yilin had warned him before to stay away from the Qi brothers and sisters. This time he was not looking for trouble with Qi Xiaomei, but he was afraid of the Zhou family.
He is domineering, and if someone really beats him up, he will have no choice but to consider himself unlucky.
The key is that Tian Yingjin has not yet recovered from his leg injury, and was injured by Yinghong before. I wonder if his condition has been known to outsiders, so he has been feeling groggy all day on the way to the city.
, also initiated high fever.
Even so, he quickly made inquiries in the city and spent a lot of money to finally find the doctor who treated Qi Xiaotao.
However, the doctor said that his illness was very serious, worse than all the patients he had seen, and it was definitely incurable. He could only think of ways to prolong his life.
After hearing these words, Tian Yingjin felt like his whole body fell into the ice cellar. What should he do?
He didn't want to die, and he didn't dare to stay in the city any longer, so he got on the carriage heading out of town.
Not long after Chu Yunli returned to the city, he heard about something. A man with a broken leg and heart disease died in a carriage going to Fengcheng.
The driver was afraid of getting into trouble, so he ran to report it to the official.
The Yamen collected the body and posted a notice asking people to come and claim the body. For many days, no one came to the door.
As a result, word spread about the deceased person being infected with an internal disease. People in the city believed that anyone who died from such a disease would have been separated from their relatives long ago. Even if he had family members, no one would recognize him.
After Chu Yunli returned to the city, she went directly to the door of Zhou's mansion. She did not go in, but knelt on the ground.
There was a person kneeling outside the gate. Mrs. Zhou soon learned the news. When she heard that it was Miss Qi, she was immediately puzzled.
"Bring the people in first, and if you have anything to say, say it behind closed doors."
What does it look like kneeling outside?
Such a kneeling will inevitably lead to speculation. No matter what kind of news comes out in the end, it will not be good for the Zhou family!
Chu Yunli did not enter, but kowtowed and said, "I have private matters to attend to. Please let me, Madam and Master, let me go."
When Mrs. Zhou heard this, her expression changed slightly and she said sternly: "Invite people in."
Several women ran out. Looking at their posture, if Chu Yunli refused to go in, they would drag her away.
Chu Yunli didn't let them touch it at all, so she went in by herself.
She didn't think that she could really leave as she wished by kneeling at the door. The main purpose of kneeling just now was to let outsiders know that she had the intention to leave.
When he arrived in front of Mrs. Zhou, Chu Yunli came to say hello.
Mrs. Zhou looked at her coldly and asked, "Who asked you to do this?"
Chu Yunli was not afraid of her: "No one gave in, I wanted to leave on my own."
Mrs. Zhou narrowed her eyes: "What did you hear?"
"No." Chu Yunli shook his head first, then asked curiously: "Are there any rumors about me?"
Mrs. Zhou sighed: "Aunt Mei, you...take good care of Brother Hua from now on." As she said that, she raised her hand, and someone immediately brought a box to her side.
The box was handed to Chu Yunli: "These are what I gave to Brother Hua. There is a land deed in the suburbs where you and your mother live. There are also some banknotes here... If you are in trouble, you can send me a message quietly.
!”
quietly?
Chu Yunli lowered his eyes: "Okay!"
Mrs. Zhou saw that she was well-behaved and never fought for herself from beginning to end. She sighed again, feeling very tired, and waved her fingers lightly.
The woman next to me came forward again, this time presenting a piece of paper with the yamen's unique official seal.
"This is the concubine release letter. You must keep it, and you will be free from now on." Mrs. Zhou originally wanted to tell her about remarrying. Originally, according to her opinion, this was her son's woman, even if
After leaving the house, it was best not to remarry. Anyway, it would be awkward for her to let her grandson call someone else his father.
However, seeing Qi Xiaomei being so obedient, I felt a little guilty. Then I thought, Qi Xiaomei is so sensible, she should know the power of this and not agree to the marriage.
The worst case scenario is to send someone to keep an eye on her. If they learn that she is getting married, they will immediately come to her door to warn her and ask her to cancel the engagement.
It’s impossible to get married right away after making an appointment, right?
Thinking like this, Mrs. Zhou wanted to leave some room. It was already too much to let people leave with their children, and setting various rules would be counterproductive.
Chu Yunli ignored Mrs. Zhou's many thoughts. She looked at the concubine release letter in front of her. She recognized these words and was very excited at the moment.
This is what Qi Xiaomei has always wanted.
She wanted to leave the house openly, at least without being hated by the Zhou family... Qi Xiaomei was a country girl who had never seen much of the world. Even though she had lived in the Zhou house for a long time, she had not seen many people. She always thought that she could not resist.
If Zhou Yilin hates the huge Zhou Mansion, it will really be a disaster.
What she wanted was to make Zhou Yilin willingly let her go.
Chu Yunli could have sneaked away with her children before, and then disappeared in front of the Zhou family, leaving them unable to find anyone. But Qi Xiaomei didn't want to do this, so she bothered to struggle here for a long time.
Fortunately, the result is good.
In addition to the land deed, there are also three thousand taels of silver notes in the box. For a concubine, he may not be able to get so much even if the family is divided.
The meaning of Mrs. Zhou's words is very obvious, that is to separate Brother Hua in advance.
Chu Yunli stretched out her fingers, took the thin piece of paper, and said, "Thank you, madam."
Mrs. Zhou wanted to sigh again.
She felt that she had wronged the mother and son... But the Wang family's condition after accepting the betrothal gift was that Zhou Yilin should send away all the women around him. From now on, his concubines could only be arranged by the new Mrs. Zhou.
In fact, this condition is not harsh.
Now that Mr. Zhou is no longer here, and the others who can dictate to the owner of the family have moved away, Zhou Yilin has several wives, concubines, and children, which have nothing to do with outsiders at all.
After becoming relatives of the Wang family, it was beneficial to the Zhou family. In fact, even if the Zhou family was not divided, as long as Zhou Yilin married Miss Wang, no one would dare to compete with him as the head of the family.
The other women are fine, they don't have children, just get some money and send them away... But Qi Xiaomei is different.
When Mrs. Zhou has lived to this age, she has seen many concubines behave in various ways by relying on their own children to give birth to children. As long as the concubine gives birth to a child, even if she makes a mistake, will you easily forgive her? It’s better, Qi Xiaomei’s birthday
The eldest son was born.
She thought it would be difficult to convince Qi Xiaomei, but she didn't expect that before she even opened her mouth, Qi Xiaomei took the initiative and asked to go because she had a personal matter. She was so sensible!
Of course, Mrs. Zhou felt that there might be a threat from the Wang family.
It was rare to be confused, and Mrs. Zhou didn't want to understand too clearly.
Anyway, she just had to send the person away and welcome Miss Wang in smoothly.
"You go back and have a rest first, and then pack your things. The wedding is only half a month away, so just leave before then."
Chu Yunli held the piece of paper and said, "I'll leave tomorrow. However, with a child, there may be a lot of luggage."
Mrs. Zhou immediately said: "I'll let the carriage take you off."
That's it.
If the mother and son left on their own and fell into the eyes of outsiders, they would inevitably feel that they were abandoned by the Zhou family, and they would then start to bully them.
With the Zhou family's carriage sending him off, anyone with a discerning eye would know that he had to send her off. It was also a sign of respect for the future Mrs. Zhou.
Chu Yunli only packed her clothes and didn't bring many clothes, but she brought all the children's belongings.
Just as I was packing my things, Aunt Zhou came. She cried very sadly, and her eyes were swollen like peaches: "Sister Qi, are you willing to do this?"
"What can I do if I don't give in?" In fact, the letter Chu Yunli sent to the Wang family only said that she was willing to leave with her children.
As long as the Wang family is not stupid, for the sake of their own girl, they should drive away the concubine who gave birth to their eldest son.
But what Chu Yunli didn't expect was that the Wang family was so ruthless that they wanted to drive away all the women!
From this point of view, even without this letter, just because the Wang family dared to propose this condition, it would be a matter of time. Of course, the Wang family would definitely be concerned about Qi Xiaomei, the only woman who gave birth to Zhou Yilin's eldest son.
Qi Xiaomei is willing to leave, so she has no worries about making this request.
Chu Yunli held her child in her arms, with Dong Yu and Dong Xue by her side, and left the Zhou Mansion on a clear and clear day, left the city, and went to the mountains in the suburbs.
Living here, if Miss Wang is stingy, it is easy for mother and son to cause trouble. Furthermore, no matter how good she is to Brother Hua, she cannot change his identity. Therefore, Chu Yunli had no intention from the beginning
Live in the city for a long time.
After moving to the suburbs, she immediately found a middleman, planning to sell the village and then leave completely.
No one opened the luggage that was brought in. Chu Yunli sold Zhuangzi at a very cheap price. After getting the money, she was very happy.
She planned to go to a prosperous place to start over. With the money as capital, she would definitely be able to give her child a comfortable environment, and it would be best to send him to study for the imperial examination.
On the way back with the money, Chu Yunli had already made plans to leave early the next morning.
Before he reached the door, he saw a carriage parked there in the distance. The carriage seemed quite familiar, and Chu Yunli paused.
Zhou Yilin has already rushed over: "Xiao Mei!"
Chu Yunli took a step back, distanced herself from him, and saluted: "Good Lord, sir."
Zhou Yilin looked at the top of her hair and asked, "Did the Wang family force you?"
"No." Chu Yunli said sincerely: "I want to leave on my own. I know the young master is a good person, but I really never wanted to be a concubine from the beginning."
Zhou Yilin didn't believe this. He thought it must be a threat from the Wang family, so Qi Xiaomei didn't dare to pester him.
"Xiao Mei, I've wronged you. From now on..."
Chu Yunli was the first to say: "There is no future. Young Master, I have sold this village and will leave here early tomorrow morning!"
Zhou Yilin was stunned: "Where are you going?"
Chu Yunli reminded me funny: "If I and my child have been living in the yard arranged by the Zhou family, what would I become?"
Zhou Yilin fell silent.
"Then...should I find someone to send you off?"
He didn't hold back at all. In the final analysis, Qi Xiaomei and her son were not that important in his heart, or in other words, they were not as important as the in-laws he was about to marry.
"No need." Chu Yunli blessed himself again: "I just wish that the rest of my life will be safe and healthy for you."
Qi Xiaomei doesn't want to tangle with this person anymore.
Zhou Yilin was silent again: "You are fine too. After you settle down in your new place, remember to send me a letter. If you mother and son encounter difficulties, I will definitely help."
Chu Yunli did not refuse, but only reminded: "It's getting late, Master, please go back. It's not good to stay too late."
Zhou Yilin hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing. He just said: "Take care!"
Chu Yunli turned around and entered the door without looking back.
From the beginning to the end, Zhou Yilin looked troubled and his eyes were full of reluctance, but he did not call her out.
The next morning, Chu Yunli left with a dozen carriages. She knew that the Zhou family was unwilling to let go, but she would be relieved about it.
After all, they couldn't figure out Miss Wang's temperament, and they really didn't want Miss Wang to take action against Brother Hua. To put it bluntly, if they did take action and Brother Hua was injured, they could only hold their noses and admit it.
It's good to leave. It would be best if no one knew the whereabouts of the mother and son. This way, the children should be able to grow up safely.
Chu Yunli couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth when she thought of Zhou Yilin's temperament that was good to everyone and how he had to restrain himself in everything after having such a wife.
Zhou Yilin is definitely still the glorious head of the Zhou family, but he is uncomfortable in private, and only he knows it best.
When leaving the suburbs, Chu Yunli sent a group of people to the town and delivered a letter and a box containing a hundred taels of silver notes to Qi Xiaotao. With these, Qi Xiaotao should be able to live and eat well for the rest of his life.
As soon as we parted ways with that group of people, we saw another pair of government officials, carrying several thin coffins, busy on the roadside, and seemed to be preparing to bury those thin coffins.
After Chu Yunli took another look, the coachman went over to inquire.
"Madam, those are the unclaimed corpses in the Yamen. I heard that the man who died on the road due to a heart disease is here."
Dongxue scolded: "Shut up! You are really dirty and smelly, so you can tell me in front of my wife."
The coachman hurriedly confessed.
After Zhou Yilin remarried, the couple had a harmonious relationship.
Zhou Yilin complained about his wife forcing those women away, but he also knew that the reason why she did all this was because of herself. As for the new Mrs. Zhou, when she saw that the man was sending all the women away, he even sent the one who already had a child to him.
Send him away, looking at that posture, I'm afraid he will never appear again in his life.
The two were newly married and had been getting along for a while. Later, Ms. Wang discovered that this man was a very good man, and he was good to every woman, and he would unconsciously attract many women to fall in love with him.
The couple battled wits and courage over the issues of whether to take concubines and whether to sleep with maids... Many years later, they vaguely heard that there was a wealthy female businessman from Jiangnan. Her origins were unknown. Anyway, she was self-made. Her only son
She is very smart, and usually helps her settle accounts. Most of the time, she focuses on her studies. She won the first prize at the age of eighteen and the next year. The couple would know this news because they heard that
The wealthy businesswoman was worried about her son going to the capital alone, so she bought a boat to send her son off to take the imperial examination in person.
That ship is the kind that usually transports cargo. It is beautifully decorated. I heard that many things are not found on other ships. Many wealthy businessmen want to buy the blueprints of the ship with money... Only this ship can
Let her earn a lot.
Not mentioning business, just sending a child to take the imperial examination is such a generous thing, which is the envy of many wealthy businessmen.
No matter how rich you are, you would never dare to play like this.
Zhou Yilin heard that the wealthy businesswoman's surname was Qi, and she claimed to be a widow, and her son's surname was Zhou. When he learned the news, he was so drunk that he felt that he looked like Miss Qi, but not very much.
He was still alive and well, where did he die?
Little did he know that in some people's hearts, he was already dead.
