But Father Zhao believed in his daughter. He asked tentatively: "It can't be a misdiagnosis? There are so many doctors in the city, and if we invite two more doctors to come and see... are you willing to admit this?"
The Zhang family and his wife were of course not willing to give in.
But the fewer people who know about the son's inability to have a child, the better. After word spreads, outsiders not only laugh at the Zhang family's desire to have no heirs, but also make fun of the son in private.
After all, only the eunuchs in the palace would not give birth to children.
How could they possibly make people compare their son with the eunuch in the palace?
Therefore, it is enough to see this doctor. If you look for more people, you will be humiliating yourself.
"Both doctors are not unknown people, and they will never talk nonsense." At this point, Mr. Zhang added: "We paid enough hush money, and they agreed not to spread the word. You know, this matter is also
Don’t tell anyone, otherwise I won’t let you go.”
The two are in-laws. Even if the Zhao family is not rich enough, Zhao's father is a child, and there are clear distinctions between scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. Businessmen are the lowest, and scholars are the most valuable. Therefore, even if the Zhao family gets a lot of money from marrying their daughter, it does not mean that the Zhao family is a high-ranking family.
.
Let's put it this way, there are many people doing business in the world, and there are also many people who have made a name for themselves. But there are not many scholars. Not every businessman can marry a scholar.
In the past, both families were polite to each other. It’s strange that Mr. Zhao’s face turned so bright when Mr. Zhang said such words.
"Why don't you let it go?" Zhao's father was very angry and pointed at his daughter: "My good daughter will marry into your family and she will take a concubine in your family within a year. Forget about these past things, but you
Why do you think my daughter stole someone?"
He emphasized: "I have no control over other people, and my daughter will never do such a shameless thing. Again, doctors are human beings, not gods, and what they say may not be entirely correct. If you want to steal this person,
If the name is placed on my daughter’s head, we will either find a dozen doctors to check Mingli’s pulse, and they will all decide that Mingli cannot give birth!”
Mrs. Zhang's face turned dark when she heard this.
Ninety-nine percent of the doctors in this world will not say anything for sure. Even if there is no hope at all, they will say that there may be children after treatment. Under such circumstances, it is simply impossible to get more than a dozen doctors to agree on the same thing.
what happened.
"You are obviously using strong words, but anyone who has seen the world should know that doctors will have reservations when speaking."
Zhao's father is a scholar and has always been reasonable. After hearing this, he turned around and said: "They say that if you catch an adulterer, you will get a double. If you find the adulterer, I will admit it. Otherwise, no one can think of throwing a lot of poison on my Zhao family's daughter."
Dirty water!”
The Zhang family couple looked at each other.
They did not find Zhao Shuangyu's adulterer. In fact, before the incident, neither of them found out that their daughter-in-law was having contact with another man. But Zhou Meiyu also had no signs of being in private contact with a man, nor was she with anyone.
Is it difficult to survive and have dark knots in the bead tire?
Mr. Zhang turned his head and looked at Chu Yunli: "Just admit it yourself!"
"How can I admit something that has never happened?" Chu Yunli frowned: "This thing happened very strangely, and I wouldn't be surprised if a man really claimed to be my adulterer at this moment. Because there was someone involved in this matter.
Framed on me!"
Mrs. Zhang sneered: "Stop putting gold on your face. People are so full that they come to frame you?"
Just at this moment, a steward came to the door and looked unhappy.
What happened in the past two days made Mr. Zhang feel very bad. Seeing the seriousness of the steward, he frowned and asked, "What happened again?"
The steward hesitated for a moment: "There is Mr. Lin outside. He said that he is an old acquaintance with the young lady in our house. He also said that he has something very important to discuss with the master."
Several people in the yard looked at each other, and Father Zhao frowned.
Mrs. Zhang stared closely at her daughter-in-law's expression and couldn't tell anything. She asked, "Is it him?"
"No!" Chu Yunli emphasized again: "There is no adulterer!" After saying this, Mrs. Zhang didn't believe it, so she asked: "Is Zhang Mingli dead? Some people bully his wife and children, why hasn't he done anything yet?
Appear?"
"It's not appropriate for Mingli to be present at this time." Mrs. Zhang fooled her casually.
Her son was drunk at this time, and she could understand that no matter which man suddenly learned that he could not have children and that his wife and concubines were all pregnant, they would probably not be able to hold on for a while.
Chu Yunli said seriously: "I want to see him."
Mrs. Zhang glared at her: "There is no rush at this moment. Let's meet Mr. Lin outside first."
Chu Yunli closed her eyes: "Father!"
Her voice was extremely serious, and Mr. Zhang over there looked over: "What's the matter?"
"You have determined that I have an adulterer and that the child in my belly is a bastard." Chu Yunli said every word: "You all think that the child and I should not live in this world. However, the ants still live in vain, and I did not do it.
Those who have done something bad will never be willing to die. But this child..."
She stretched out her hand and touched her belly: "This child is innocent. As a mother, I should have given birth to him. But he has such relatives, it is better not to come to this world. Anyway, you don't want him to live. In this way, before you see him,
, give me a bowl of abortion medicine first."
Mr. Lin has already arrived at the door. Mrs. Zhang thinks that the adulterer is most likely him, but her daughter-in-law is asking for medicine at this time... She becomes more and more sure that her daughter-in-law wants to destroy the body and eliminate traces, and die without evidence.
"No!" Mrs. Zhang scolded: "Let's talk about it after seeing someone."
The so-called Mr. Lin was quickly invited in. Not only Zhao Shuangyu knew him, but even Zhao's father was no stranger to him.
Father Zhao has never given up on the imperial examinations over the years. Every time he comes to the county examination, he must take it. In fact, all scholars can get a lot of money after passing the examination, including awards from adults and congratulatory gifts from local celebrities and wealthy businessmen.
.Zhao's father has been living a tight life in the past few years after he passed the Tongsheng examination, not because he squandered all the money, but because when he got the money, he happened to come across a yard that wanted to take action... That yard was out of the county.
The place where I tried it was just across the street, and the location was very good. It was almost price-free.
He gritted his teeth and bought this place.
In the years before his daughter was married, he made a living by renting the yard to scholars during the county examination. This Mr. Lin was once one of the tenants, and he was very close to Zhao's father, and he stayed there for three months at most.
Of course, Father Zhao was a man of etiquette and divided the courtyard into two parts, with a wall built in the middle. One side was for himself and the other for the scholars. People on both sides generally did not interact with each other.
However, because they were so close, Zhao Shuangyu still knew some scholars, and Mr. Lin was one of them.
Father Zhao was particularly alert and asked first, "Brother Lin, why are you here?"
When he called "brother", his tone was particularly strong. He really hoped that this man would not embarrass his daughter for the sake of their friendship.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed in the end.
Lin Jiahe entered the yard, first glanced at Chu Yunli, his gaze fell heavily on her belly, and then called Father Zhao: "Brother Zhao, I...I can't help you."
When Father Zhao saw him like this, his scalp went numb: "Why are you sorry to me? You should make it clear! Don't cause people to misunderstand!"
Lin Jiahe turned around and knelt in front of the Zhang family couple.
"Mr. Zhang, Pisces and I are in love and have been in contact with each other in private these years. I only found out about her pregnancy yesterday. I originally wanted to visit her last night, but I was afraid of disturbing her too much. This matter is
It's my fault, you can deal with me however you want!"
Mrs. Zhang was so angry that her whole body was trembling.
No matter how much she disliked her daughter-in-law, she never thought of abandoning her, let alone for such a reason.
Mr. Zhang's face was solemn: "How long have you been seeing each other? How do you usually meet?"
Lin Jiahe lowered his head: "In the past few years, I have either lived in the Zhao family or in the Luo family a street away from the Zhao family. Every time she returns to her parents' home, we will meet her."
Father Zhao was originally sure that his daughter would not steal someone, but now he was not so sure. He took a sneak peek at his daughter's expression, quickly looked away, and asked: "If you have a child, you can't just have it at the first sight. Why?"
Yes, it’s not often that a woman gets pregnant in one go. How did you meet?”
Lin Jiahe glanced at him and said apologetically: "There is a room reserved by me at the Yuelai Inn. Didn't you ask me before where the money I spent on refining my pens was spent? Most of it was spent on the room."
So far, Lin Jiahe did not know how many times he had participated in the imperial examination, but he had always failed to make it to the list. He did not even miss out as a child. Father Zhao was willing to be friends with him not because of his knowledge, but because of his good skills.
He is also very talented in calligraphy and painting.
Many people come to ask for his calligraphy and paintings, so he shouldn't be embarrassed, but Lin Jiahe's life has always been tight.
After hearing this explanation, Father Zhao's eyes went dark: "Asshole!"
I don’t know who is scolding whom.
Mrs. Zhang said sternly: "Is there any king's law in the world?" She turned around and looked at Chu Yunli with a cannibalistic look: "The adulterers have come out, and even the places where they committed adultery have been confessed.
, how do you explain it? Do you still want to deny it, and you have to admit it if I bring the waiter from Yuelai Inn to confront you?"
"These are all his one-sided words." Chu Yunli looked around at everyone in the yard one by one: "You all believed him, right? Even a criminal who killed someone should have a defense in court.
Opportunity. Is it my turn to say it?"
She stepped closer to Lin Jiahe who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly raised her foot and kicked him, causing him to fall to the ground.
