Mrs. Zhang really felt that the person in front of her was disrespectful.
There are so many grievances between the two, and what she said clearly means that she doesn't intend to care about the past, at least on the surface. If Zhao Shuangyu knows how to measure, and wants to continue doing business in this city, and wants to have one less enemy, he should
Agree.
Even if it was just a superficial agreement, at least the friendship between the two families was maintained.
Chu Yunli shook his head: "Mrs. Zhang, you don't have face with me. I hate you for it's too late. You should take care of yourself, lest you become a joke."
Mrs. Zhang's eyes became sharp: "You have to go against the Zhang family, right?"
"You have wronged me by what you said." Chu Yunli said matter-of-factly: "There are dozens of embroiderers behind me, and it is true that half of them are from your Zhang family, but there are also quite a few from other places, and others don't.
Come to the door and say that I am targeting him. That said, if you can retain these craftsmen and make money, that is my ability. If you can snatch it back, that is also your ability. I will never come to your door like you do.
Say these shameless words."
"Who are you saying is shameless?" Mrs. Zhang was furious: "Zhao Shuangyu, you are not my daughter-in-law now, and I will not tolerate you anymore."
Chu Yunli sneered: "You say it as if I will tolerate you." She stretched out her hand to touch her lower abdomen: "The doctors said that it will be difficult for me to have children of my own in this life, and these are all thanks to you.
You forgot, but I didn’t.”
Mrs. Zhang's face was ugly: "You must provide evidence when you speak. If you say I administered the medicine, show me the evidence. Otherwise, I, the dignified wife of the Zhang family, will never allow such slander."
"We all know the facts. You know whether it is slander or not." Chu Yunli waved her hand: "Seeing you affects my mood. I won't be able to eat this lunch. Get out of here!"
After many years in the city, Mrs. Zhang was kicked out for the first time. She was so angry that she slapped the table: "Zhao Shuangyu, don't think that if you marry the Lu family, I can't do anything to you!"
Chu Yunli raised her eyebrows: "Stop patting me. Just tell me what you want!"
Mrs. Zhang gave her a meaningful look: "Wait!"
Looking at her leaving figure, Chu Yunli said loudly: "You also wait for me."
Mrs. Zhang: "..."
She suddenly realized that she had made a big mistake in not preventing Zhao Shuangyu from marrying into the Lu family.
I originally thought that Zhao Shuangyu would be targeted by her mother-in-law after she got married, and her life would be difficult. Unexpectedly, she actually started a business, and the Lu family didn't stop her. The sick Mr. Lu seemed to have taken the wrong medicine, so
This beautiful woman like a flower does not want to hide in the backyard, but actually comes out with people every day to show her face.
She was not idle for a moment, and immediately asked someone to take her to Lu's house.
Mrs. Lu is currently watching her son's marriage, and she wants to change her mood. Listening to the little things between Lu Ting'an and his wife every day will give her a heart attack.
Lu Ting'an had such a cold-blooded temperament that after marrying his wife, he seemed to be a different person. He would listen to her in everything, give away the dowry left by his mother, and give away a lot of money, without feeling distressed at all.
If she had known this, she would have married her niece to him.
With those shops, she could at least support her parents' family. When Mrs. Lu thought about it, she felt so regretful that her intestines turned green.
When she heard that Mrs. Zhang was coming to visit, she subconsciously wanted to refuse. As soon as the words came to her lips, she thought of something and changed her mind. She got up and went to the door to greet her in person.
"Mrs. Lu, you have to make the decision for my Zhang family. It is really your daughter-in-law who is not doing well." Mrs. Zhang did not hide her irritability at all. She complained when they met. After the two sat down, she told the story exactly.
"If others don't care, it's just for the sake of the Lu family. We are all businessmen, and the reputation and connections we have accumulated over the years are not for this purpose. You have to persuade Mr. Lu to take care of it.
, don’t let young people be such bastards.”
Mrs. Lu never cared about outside affairs. She only knew that Zhao Shuangyu's business was doing well. It was only today that she found out that she had snatched away other people's embroidery girls. After hearing what Mrs. Zhang said, she slapped the table: "This is outrageous.
, don’t worry, I will tell the master about this.”
Mrs. Zhang was very satisfied after getting the right answer, and then turned to talk about something else: "What do you think of Pisces?"
When Mrs. Lu mentioned this daughter-in-law, it was hard to explain. However, everyone said that family scandals should not be made public. No matter how much she disliked her stepson, she did not want others to say that she treated her stepson harshly and deliberately targeted his stepson and his wife. She immediately smiled and said: "Apart from her liking to run away,
fine."
Mrs. Zhang looked disbelieving, shook her head and said: "She... you don't get along with her much, that's why you have this illusion. As a woman, you don't know how to be filial to your elders, and you are cold and indifferent to your husband. Now you are still showing off.
Doing business. You are the only one who can tolerate it. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to tolerate it long ago. Besides, she is also flirtatious and seduces people everywhere..."
At this point, she looked like she had made a mistake and hurriedly stopped. She stood up and said, "Don't take it to heart what I said."
Mrs. Lu already regrets marrying Zhao Shuangyu. Regarding what Mrs. Zhang said, the previous mistakes are harmless. But if the last one is true, then Zhao Shuangyu is not a good match.
She didn't feel sorry for her stepson, she just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to drive him out. She immediately became interested and hurriedly stepped forward: "Mrs. Zhang, Pisces is now my daughter-in-law. Don't run away without telling her about her willfulness, but
You have to speak clearly. If this is a slander, you are deliberately trying to provoke our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!"
Mrs. Zhang paused when she heard this: "Just think of me as a slander."
After saying that, leave quickly.
Mrs. Lu sat back on the chair, seemingly calm, but in fact her heart was scratching her head. She also sent someone to inquire about the falling out between Zhao Shuangyu and the Zhang family, and got a rough idea. Zhao Shuangyu's theft was a lie.
It is true that the Zhang family was misunderstood.
However, she was happy that it was true.
The main reason is that Lu Ting'an didn't take money seriously and bought so many shops for his wife. Instead of giving it to Zhao Shuangyu, an outsider, it would be better to give it to her natal niece.
The thoughts in her mind were growing like weeds, so Mrs. Lu quietly sent someone to inquire.
When Mrs. Zhang left Zhao Shuangyu's newly opened embroidery building, she did not miss what Zhao Shuangyu said. After successfully arousing Mrs. Lu's anger, she became defensive on the way home.
She was afraid that Zhao Shuangyu would catch her by surprise and deliberately embarrass her.
But after returning home, everything was calm and nothing happened. After waiting for two days, Mrs. Zhang was completely relieved and thought that her ex-daughter-in-law was just bluffing.
The injuries on Zhang Mingli's body looked quite serious, but they were all skin injuries. After a few days of recovery, he was able to walk around. With the use of good ointment, it only takes at most half a month for the injuries on his face to be completely healed.
clean.
She was anxious to have her grandson, so she quickly set a wedding date. For the next few days, she put aside all other things and was busy preparing for her son's wedding.
While she was busy, she did not forget to be on guard against Zhao Shuangyu, but she remained calm all the time, as if nothing had happened. If she hadn't really remembered Zhao Shuangyu's threat, she would have thought she was dreaming.
Chu Yunli opened another restaurant. As soon as it opened, business was very good. She was so busy that it was already late when she got home.
Lu Ting'an didn't bring any medicine today, so he returned home early.
Therefore, Chu Yunli went back alone. As soon as he entered the mansion, he noticed something was wrong. Many servants were secretly pointing fingers.
Lu Ting'an was not taken seriously in this house, and Mrs. Lu deliberately weakened his status. However, after Lu Ting'an came, he established his power several times. The people below him were bullies and feared the strong, and they did not dare to make any mistakes in front of him. Faced with it, Lu Ting'an was not taken seriously.
Chu Yunli, a new lady, was quite polite.
At least, this kind of pointing fingers in front of her has never happened.
Just when Chu Yunli was about to find someone to ask, the woman from the main courtyard arrived, accompanied by Mr. Lu's entourage.
"Madam, Madam, please come."
"Can you tell me what's going on?" Chu Yunli rubbed her shoulders: "I'm very tired today and want to go back early to rest. If you just want to say hello, please help me accuse my mother."
"It's not a greeting." The mother-in-law said with a straight face, "It's something very important. The eldest son is here too."
It seemed something had really happened. Chu Yunli originally wanted to go back to his room, but when he heard that Lu Ting'an had been invited there, he stopped embarrassing his mother-in-law and followed her to the main courtyard.
It was getting late now, but the main courtyard was brightly lit. The chairs and tables had been moved to the courtyard, and several people were sitting there.
Chu Yunli stepped in, and when she saw the people inside clearly, she paused.
In addition to the Lu family couple, Lu Ting'an was sitting next to him, and his second brother Lu Tingning was sitting underneath. There were even several elders of the Lu family, who looked like they were trying to judge someone.
Chu Yunli was surprised for a moment by such a generous gesture, and her expression returned to normal. When she entered, she first greeted several elders and then greeted Mr. Lu.
Mrs. Lu sat at the top with an indifferent look on her face: "Zhao Shuangyu, you have been running out every day recently not to do business at all, but to have a private meeting with your lover. Am I right?"
Chu Yunli was surprised: "Lover? What is that?"
"Stop pretending." Mrs. Lu clapped her hands, and a man was escorted over from the darkness in the corner of the yard.
When Chu Yunli saw clearly the man being held in the middle by two guards, he was quite speechless.
Lin Jiahe did not dare to look at her, lowered his head and said: "Pisces, I really can't bear it anymore, don't blame me."
Chu Yunli was happy: "You are really not afraid of death."
Lin Jiahe: "..."
He stole a glance at the expression of the woman in front of him, and met her sinister gaze, and couldn't help but shudder.
Chu Yunli stepped forward slowly: "Madam, is this the lover you call?"
"In order to make him feel at ease about the imperial examination and to raise money for him, you compromised and married my son. Is that right?" Madam Lu said with a serious look on her face: "I invited you here just to give you a chance to tell the truth. If
If you are willing to admit your mistakes, this engagement will be canceled and our Lu family will do a good deed so that you two lovers can finally get married."
Chu Yunli was not angry at all, but actually laughed out loud: "Lin Jiahe, I asked you to marry me, do you dare?"
Lin Jiahe: "...Pisces, this is an opportunity. You must agree, otherwise, it will be difficult for us to be together in this life."
"Do you really dare to marry me?" Chu Yunli raised her eyebrows, she raised her hand, and a silver light flashed across her fingertips.
It was also at this time that Lin Jiahe realized that the thing in her hand was clearly a dagger.
The dagger shone sharply under the candlelight. Lin Jiahe thought of the last injury he suffered, and a flash of fear flashed in his eyes. He subconsciously wanted to retreat, but unfortunately the two guards were pressing him down, and he couldn't move at all.
"Don't...speak carefully if you have something to say." Lin Jiahe's tone was a little flustered, and he forced himself to calm down: "Last time you hurt me in front of the Zhang family and made them believe that there was no personal relationship between us. This time there is no such thing.
If you use it, the Lu family won't believe it. You will never be able to distance yourself from me no matter what... Pisces, you have to think carefully."
"I didn't cripple your hand last time because I thought you had studied hard for many years. It would be a pity if your future was crippled." Chu Yunli approached step by step: "Everyone will do wrong things in life. Scholars
It’s not easy. I want to forgive you. But you are so dishonest that you dare to slander me.”
The dagger in her hand gradually came closer.
Lin Jiahe wanted to move back, but unfortunately he couldn't move. Seeing the dagger coming toward his eyes, he couldn't bear it anymore and screamed: "Let me go quickly, this is a madman, she will really do it."
"
When he shouted these words, his voice was full of tremors, and everyone could see his fear.
Chu Yunli smiled and looked back at the Lu family couple: "He is afraid of being like this and treats me like a savage beast. Do you believe that we have an affair?"
Mr. Lu looked serious.
In fact, he didn't care that his son gave away the dowry left by his biological mother. After all, Zhao Shuangyu was already the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, and she and his son were husband and wife. And most importantly, Zhao Shuangyu didn't come here just to subsidize his parents' family.
When people and things came into her hands, she grasped them very tightly, and within a short period of time she had already made a profit.
To be honest, the more capable his daughter-in-law is, the happier he is. After all, all he earns is money from the Lu family.
However, the daughter-in-law has a lover outside... What if she gives away all the money she earned and the things she got from the Lu family to outsiders? How can she bear this?
Therefore, after a busy day, Mr. Lu still managed to sit here and even invited two elders of the family. If this matter is true, he must divorce her.
However, now it seems that Lin Jiahe is clearly afraid of her, and his whole body is trembling when he sees her... You can pretend to be affectionate, but you cannot pretend to be afraid.
Mr. Lu was already more inclined to be deliberately instigated in this matter. Mrs. Lu was unwilling to accept it: "This is all pretending. Lin Jiahe, you said you had correspondence with her earlier, please take out the things quickly."
Lin Jiahe glanced at his chest.
The two guards on the side immediately reached out to grab it and quickly grabbed a handful of letters. Chu Yunli saw it and sneered: "You are really not afraid of death."
Before she finished speaking, the dagger in her hand had already stabbed his shoulder blade hard.
The dagger penetrated his flesh, and Lin Jiahe screamed. He wanted to fall down, but fortunately there were guards holding him up, so he didn't fall.
Chu Yunli's hand was particularly steady, and she pulled out the dagger, bleeding all over it.
In the pain, Lin Jiahe only glanced at his wound, wondering whether the injury would ruin his future... Before he had time to think clearly, he fainted because of the excessive pain.
No matter how thin he was, Lin Jiahe was still a big man. The two guards kept supporting him, which was actually quite tiring. He almost fainted, so he simply let go.
Lin Jiahe fell softly to the ground.
Chu Yunli stepped forward and stepped on his injury, squeezing out a lot of blood.
Lin Jiahe, who was sleeping, felt pain, groaned, and woke up again. At this moment, his face was as white as gold paper, his lips were trembling, and he looked at the woman in front of him with eyes that were like Shura.
Chu Yunli looked at him condescendingly: "I haven't said it clearly yet, so don't faint."
Ordinary women would not be so cruel to others, let alone their lover. The daughter-in-law's face did not change from the beginning to the end, from pricking someone to trampling on her. If she was really dealing with her lover, then it would be
I know how to pretend.
Mr. Lu didn't know much about his daughter-in-law, but he could tell from his wife's complaints that Zhao Shuangyu was a straight-tempered person and would never hide his thoughts.
He became more and more inclined to think that his wife would be instigated and used by people with ulterior motives, just to cause dissatisfaction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law... Some people even wanted to drive Zhao Shuangyu out of the Lu family.
Such a girl who is good at business and ruthless becomes the wife of the eldest son. He will no longer have to worry about the eldest son being bullied in the future, which is a good thing.
"That's enough." Mr. Lu looked serious and stared at Lin Jiahe on the ground: "Tell the truth, I will let you go after you finish speaking."
"That's not okay." Chu Yunli said: "Last time at Zhang's house, I let him go easily. Then he came to slander me again. This time I let him go. If anyone wants to attack me in the future, they will
Inviting him here would be endless."
When Mrs. Lu heard what her man said, she immediately became anxious and pointed at the letters scattered on the ground: "I haven't read the letter yet, why is it slanderous?"
She stepped forward and grabbed one of the letters: "I miss you so much that I can only hope to be with you one day...You can't let me down, and I will never let you down..." Her hands trembled: "These are all written in black and white.
If Zhao Shuangyu's handwriting is right, everything will be clear."
After she finished speaking, she caught her master's gaze and couldn't help but take a step back.
Mr. Lu looked at her indifferently: "Madam, you are too impatient."
Mrs. Lu was startled and managed a smile: "What do you mean by this, sir? Why don't I understand?"
Mr. Lu's face was calm: "Your niece was picked up by your niece today, and she even asked her to meet Ting'an in the yard. When I heard about this, I thought you had changed your temper, and I couldn't figure out the reason. If you
If you are willing to let your niece marry Ting'an, it won't be a problem for the Zhao family. Only at this moment can I finally see your intention."
Hearing this, Mrs. Lu could no longer maintain the forced smile on her face: "Master, you misunderstood."
"Madam, we have been married for many years. You can deceive others, but you can never deceive me." Mr. Lu said with a serious face: "I can pretend that I didn't see all your little tricks before. But Ting'an is already married.
He has his own little family, you should let him go."
Mrs. Lu took a step back: "I didn't embarrass him! Master, I only heard a hint, so I found someone to inquire about it privately. After all, I didn't want her to be deceived into the dark. If I really are the one who doesn't care about my stepson.
Stepmother, just pretend that you don’t know about this matter, there is no need to create extra complications..."
She explained eagerly. Chu Yunli was thoughtful and suddenly said: "Madam must have had an idea after seeing the shops that my husband gave me. After all, my husband and I have not known each other for a few days, and he is willing to do this."
Be honest, and it would be fine if it were someone else.”
That's what Mrs. Lu thought.
After being told what she was thinking, she subconsciously denied it: "That's not the case." Seeing who was speaking clearly, she said angrily: "Zhao Shuangyu, are you done with it? You usually just ignore me, but today you have the audacity to sow discord between our husband and wife.
.”
Her eyes fell on the two elders beside her: "Two uncles, you have also seen how Ting'an's wife is unruly and disrespectful to her elders. Shouldn't such a woman be divorced?"
The two elders were invited here today, and they didn't know beforehand that such a lawsuit would be settled. After all, their family backgrounds are not as good as Master Lu. Even if they come to make decisions, they actually act based on Master Lu's face.
Mrs. Lu thought that with Lin Jiahe's words and those letters, it was just a matter of raising her hand to let Zhao Shuangyu go out.
Who knew that the master would trust Zhao Shuangyu so much... She also didn't expect that Zhao Shuangyu would be so ruthless.
The two old men did not speak. Chu Yunli smiled at the two of them: "My father is a scholar and will never allow me to do shameless things. If I really mess with others, my father will teach me a lesson himself without anyone taking action."
.”
She turned back and her eyes fell on Lin Jiahe coldly: "You are really not afraid of death. What else can you say?"
Lin Jiahe's shoulder blade was injured this time. If this area could be treated in time, he might be able to save his hand. It would not affect his future.
He looked at the woman holding the dagger and felt really scared. If he did it again, he would definitely not be able to write, which would be a disaster for him.
In fact, before coming here, he had already thought that he would end up like this, and it was just a matter of luck. But when it really happened in front of him, he found that he really couldn't bear it.
"Miss Zhao, please let me go. I didn't mean to do it. It was Mrs. Lu who gave me too much. She promised to give me a few hundred taels of silver. Even if I don't take the imperial examination anymore, I can live a comfortable life for the rest of my life... But
I did not expect……"
It was said that the scars would be forgotten about the pain. His last injury had healed, and he had somewhat forgotten about Zhao Shuangyu's cruelty. With the big profits ahead of him, he gritted his teeth and fought hard.
