Mrs. Lu felt quite guilty at first. After all, her words were directed at her newly pregnant daughter-in-law.
But as she talked, the more she talked, the more reasonable she felt.
When it comes to your heirs, you should be extremely cautious. You can never be too careful.
Zhao Shuangyu has an adulterer and has already caused two troubles. Moreover, she is indeed unable to give birth, and her stepson is indeed frail. Shouldn't he be suspected?
Mr. Lu also had a murmur in his heart, but when he turned around and saw the couple cuddling together, he gave up the idea in an instant. Not to mention the relationship between the two, only the benefits he got after marrying Shuangyu...
It is impossible for her to get more from other men. This is not a fool. People who know how to do business are very smart.
Since you are a smart person, you should know what choice is best for you. In such a situation, how can you marry someone and still have children with another man?
Furthermore, his son is weak and weak, so he is not an idiot. Otherwise, he would not have chosen Zhao Shuangyu, who is good at business, as his wife among so many women.
After the two got married, they made a lot of money alone. Some people are born to control others. In his opinion, his son is such a person. How could such a smart son not even associate with other men?
Know?
"Shut up." Mr. Lu scolded: "Don't mention such words again."
Mrs. Lu did not dare to argue with him, and whispered: "I'm not wrong, there are many normal men and women in the world who cannot have children. Neither of them can have children. How long have they been married..."
"Anyway, Madam will be happy if I can't have a child." Lu Ting'an said with a calm face: "Let's put it this way, just because Pisces is good to me, even if this child is not of my blood, I will treat him as my own.
Raise her up well. Madam, is there anything else you can say?"
After talking to this point, Mrs. Lu really didn't know how to answer.
Mr. Lu didn't believe that there was someone outside his daughter-in-law, so he immediately laughed: "Boy, what are you talking about? Pisces should not be angry."
After calling Ping An, everyone in the Lu family knew that the eldest young lady was pregnant. And the news spread quickly, and even the stewards, relatives and friends of the Lu family knew about it.
Mrs. Zhang has been particularly irritable recently. Looking at her son who was greatly affected, she really didn’t know how to persuade her. She tried every method, but her son still looked like he was dying. He drank wine all day long and looked like a
He was like a beggar on the street, and he didn't allow people around him to get close to help him deal with it. She was really worried, fearing that her son would get distracted and commit suicide.
When she heard that Zhao Shuangyu was pregnant at this time, she smashed the cup in her hand to the ground: "It must be fake."
The mother-in-law who came to report felt regretful. In fact, when the news came out, they knew that no matter who came to report, they would definitely not get it. They only came here after guessing and she lost. In fact, if this matter had not happened,
He told his wife that when she learned from others, the servants like them would have to go around without food. She immediately said bravely: "It seems to be true. When she goes out recently, Mr. Lu will always follow her. As for
I heard that Mr. Lu’s medicine was prepared by the steward next to Mr. Lu himself and delivered to him. Anyway, the Lu family and his son attach great importance to this child."
In fact, Mrs. Zhang also knew in her heart that as long as this news spread, the fact that Zhao Shuangyu was pregnant must be true. After all, the Lu family was not an anonymous family and did not allow others to discuss it.
Hearing the mother-in-law's emphasis, she became so angry that she reached out and smashed the vases beside her: "You don't need to emphasize it!"
The mother-in-law was blessed and hurriedly retreated.
The more Mrs. Zhang thought about it, the angrier she became. After walking around the house a few times and smashing a lot of things, her anger increased instead of decreasing. She said fiercely: "You have obviously taken such a heavy dose of medicine, why can you still be pregnant?"
Not long after, a woman next to her was severely punished.
Zhang Mingli was so drunk that he collapsed on the ground, feeling pain all over his body. When he came to his senses, he realized that he had been lying here for most of the day.
A person who is used to sleeping on high-rise soft pillows lay on the bluestone floor for most of the day, and it was strange that his body didn't hurt. He tried to hold himself up, but found that he was so weak that he couldn't stand up for a long time. Just as he was about to open his mouth to call someone, he heard
Someone is talking quietly outside.
"You really have a child?"
"Isn't that right? Madam has smashed everything in the house. At this moment, Manager Zhou is opening the warehouse to get things out for display. The wrapped vase left over from the previous dynasty is worth a lot of money. Our master likes it the most.
I have to play with it every day, and often wipe the dust myself. I was hit by my wife just now... I am so angry, can it be fake?"
"Doesn't it mean that she can't give birth? I heard that Lu Ting'an is also weak, so how can he still get the woman pregnant? It's a strange thing that these two people can have children together."
"God has eyes!" Someone answered, his voice lowered: "To put it harshly, the girl from the Zhao family did nothing wrong. She was plotted by our wife for nothing, and her reputation was ruined.
Body. Can you tell me if such a girl can live a good life if she marries again? But she can find her husband. So, it is better not to do bad things, God is watching. "
Zhang Mingli heard this in a trance, and immediately reacted. He shouted sternly: "Get out of here."
The noise outside immediately disappeared. After a while, several people came in. When they saw the people on the ground, they looked at each other and boldly came forward to help them.
Zhang Mingli pushed them away: "Who is pregnant? Who are you talking about just now?"
Several people looked at each other quietly, really not daring to answer. But they also didn't dare to hide it. One of them boldly whispered: "She is the eldest young lady of the Lu family."
Zhang Mingli's unshaven face became even more ugly, and he sneered: "Zhao Shuangyu is pregnant? Really?"
Several people nodded: "That's what we heard, but we don't know if it's true."
Zhang Mingli struggled to get up, but halfway up he fell to the ground. The back of his head hit the ground first, and he was beaten to pieces. He covered his head and looked at the roof: "Why can't I let a woman get pregnant?"
No one dared to answer this. After another long while, Zhang Mingli cheered up and said, "Send me a bowl of hangover soup."
After taking the anti-hangover soup, Zhang Mingli became much more awake. He drank two bowls in a row and had hot water brought to him. After washing, apart from being a little haggard, he returned to his previous appearance of a handsome young man.
He went out quietly without anyone else.
Not to mention how nervous everyone in the Zhang family was after he disappeared, and how furious Mrs. Zhang asked the people in the family to go out to look for him. Zhang Mingli went to the Lu family on his own.
He wanted to meet Zhao Shuangyu.
Unfortunately, they had just gone out when he arrived. When the concierge said that Zhao Shuangyu had gone to do business, Zhang Mingli was in a daze for a moment. In his impression, Zhao Shuangyu was a weak woman who never showed up in public.
When she appeared in public, she was already estranged from him. He had never carefully watched her doing business.
Zhang Mingli came to his senses, gave the man a sum of money, asked where Zhao Shuangyu was now, and immediately found a carriage to go there.
Chu Yunli was different from the current women. She was not the kind of frail girl who had to worry about raising her baby after getting pregnant. She went to the shop to deal with customers as usual.
Lu Ting'an was also helping, occasionally bringing something to her mouth. After finally freeing up, Chu Yunli took a few bites, and suddenly noticed that the person next to her stopped. She raised her head in surprise and followed the edge.
The Master looked around and saw Zhang Mingli with a complicated expression at the door.
Chu Yunli took another bite, and Lu Ting'an came to her senses, stuffed the snack into her mouth, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, are you okay? Don't stand at the door, we are all businessmen, what you are doing is not kind.
"
Zhang Mingli didn't come here to cause trouble. He had been drunk these past few days and his mind was a little unclear. After hearing this, he reluctantly came back to his senses and walked slowly through the door while keeping his eyes on Chu Yunli's belly.
"Pisces, I heard that you are pregnant, right?"
This is not a shameful thing. Chu Yunli nodded casually: "Where did you hear about it?"
"It's all spread." Zhang Mingli looked complicated: "I thought you would be like me."
Chu Yunli raised his eyebrows: "This is not wrong. Your wife was pregnant before, and I am pregnant now. It is indeed the same!"
Zhang Mingli: "..." Don't mention this.
The adulterer of Luo Xiaowu's child was found, and she admitted it herself. The Luo family looked guilty again. That child was not his at all, and even if he wanted to lie to himself, he couldn't.
"Luo Xiaowu is sorry for me. She stole people!"
Chu Yunli nodded: "I heard about this. The Luo family's yard was set on fire. They even came to ask me to help make peace, but I refused. By the way, this was really done by your family.
?"
Zhang Mingli has been living in a haze these past few days. He has never heard of this matter at all, and his face was full of surprise when he heard this. Of course, even if his parents really did this, he cannot admit it. What's more, he doesn't know the inside story at all.
, it is even more impossible to take this kind of thing on yourself.
"Don't talk nonsense." He frowned: "I have something to discuss with you."
Just at this moment, another person came in at the door. Chu Yunli stepped forward to greet the guest and introduced the ingredients to the guest.
By the time she sent the guests away, another half-quarter of an hour had passed. Zhang Mingli didn't want to delay any more: "Pisces, I want to ask, where is the doctor who treated you before?"
Since it can make two frail people pregnant, maybe it can also make them healthy.
The medicine Chu Yunli drank was prepared by themselves, and the so-called doctor was just a fig leaf.
"It's Dr. Qian. He's in Kanghe Hall over there. You can go find him for treatment yourself! However, treatment also depends on fate, so don't have too much hope."
Zhang Mingli: "..."
"Zhao Shuangyu, you just don't want to see me."
Chu Yunli chuckled: "It's just telling the truth. If you don't want to hear it, don't come to see me! I didn't ask you to come, so get out! It seems that you are annoyed. I am really at odds with your Zhang family!"
As he said this, he almost vomited because he was just pregnant.
Zhang Mingli's face was particularly ugly.
Lu Ting'an hurriedly brought a cup of tea, feeling worried. He turned back to Zhang Mingli and said, "Can you leave first? Don't come back again. Pisces hates you so much when they see you. They vomited and you can't see?"
Zhang Mingli was not blind, so of course he saw such an obvious thing. His face was livid: "Are you sure it's Doctor Qian?"
Lu Ting'an nodded: "Yes. Go quickly!"
Zhang Mingli had rarely been kicked out like this in his life, and he felt a little uncomfortable for a while. However, the couple were busy drinking water and had no time to pay attention to him. He stepped on the ground with hatred and left unwillingly.
Doctor Qian of Kanghetang is a famous doctor, and many people queue up to see him. Zhang Mingli didn’t take anyone with him today. After asking clearly that the long queue in front of him were all coming to see Doctor Qian, he instantly had the idea to turn around and leave.
impulse.
But, he wanted children so much.
As a man, it was a great shame and humiliation for him not to have children of his own. He did not dare to listen to what people outside said about him.
But in all his years of living, he had never had the experience of waiting in line for someone. It was impossible to wait, so he reached out and took out money from his body, hoping to buy a seat from the person in front of him. Unfortunately, he wanted to do it too much just now.
To know the whereabouts of Zhao Shuangyu, he gave almost all the valuable things on his body to his servants.
For a while, he couldn't afford the money.
Being cash-strapped, he regretted not taking anyone with him when he went out. Thinking that his family should already know that he was not in the house at this moment, and maybe they were looking for someone everywhere, so he stopped being anxious and waited among the crowd.
As long as the servants find him, he will naturally have money.
The wait lasted for half an hour, and the number of people in front was reduced by half. Zhang Mingli could see the doctor, and the Zhang family's servants arrived belatedly.
Zhang Mingli was very impatient: "Why did it take so long to come?"
The servants who found him were happy at first, but after hearing this, they felt aggrieved. It was the young master who had escaped on his own, but he thought they were slow to come.
However, I can only hold back my grievances. Fortunately, I finally found someone and no longer have to face the madam's anger.
"Madam is looking for you everywhere, why don't we go back home first?"
Zhang Mingli tapped the doctor in front of him who was checking his pulse with his chin: "Go buy a seat."
It's easy to get things done if you have money, especially the people who seek medical advice here are not particularly wealthy people. If you give enough money, people will immediately be interested. So, Zhang Mingli successfully moved to the front of the queue.
Doctor Qian was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink water. There was another person in front of him. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to looking, hearing, asking and asking. He subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the young man in front of him, and saw that his features were full of anger. He was startled, and then said
Looking at the expectation in the young man's eyes, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Doctor, I have an underlying disease and I have seen many doctors, but they are all helpless. Do you think I can still be cured?"
Doctor Qian closed his eyes, felt his pulse carefully, and then shook his head.
"If the injury is too serious, you won't see any results within ten or eight years."
In this world where he is about to become a grandfather in his early teens, Zhang Mingli is already in his early twenties this year. If he survives another ten or eight years...where is there any hope?
This hope is too slim to say that it is possible!
Zhang Mingli knew that the doctor was telling the truth in disguise. He couldn't accept it for a moment: "Master Lu is so weak, you can let him have children, why can't I?"
Doctor Qian was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered something that had been making a lot of noise in the city recently. Most of the people who came to him for medical treatment were for the sake of having children. Regarding Lu Ting'an's frail body, he got his wife pregnant.
It was widely circulated among these people. He couldn't even think about it.
The couple did get medicine from him, but some credit should not be misappreciated. Everyone wants to be a famous doctor, but it is easy to overwhelm oneself if one brags too much. He hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth: "They both want to be famous doctors."
They just took some side medicine."
Hearing this, what else does Zhang Mingli not understand?
He was deceived by the couple, and Zhao Shuangyu definitely did not tell the truth. The medicine they drank was probably not prepared by this doctor, and someone else cured them.
He came with hope, but after waiting for so long, he was betrayed. Zhang Mingli also noticed the eyes of the people behind him, as if they were looking at monkeys. He suddenly became furious, stood up and strode away.
"Zhao Shuangyu, come out here."
Chu Yunli was dealing with guests, and Lu Ting'an went to buy something for her. When she heard people outside shouting, she didn't pay attention at all. She just persuaded the guest and persuaded him to choose two more materials, and even helped the knot herself.
After paying the bill and sending the guests to the door, he turned his attention to the furious Zhang Mingli.
"Zhang Mingli, I've come out. If you have anything to say, just say it." She said, turning her head and telling the steward: "Please go to the Yamen and report to an official. These people are making trouble here all day long. Business
Nothing can be done."
The steward agreed and walked out.
Zhang Mingli was angry and did not take these words seriously: "Zhao Shuangyu, you said that Dr. Qian prepared the medicine, but he said that you only got one dose. The doctor who dispensed the medicine was clearly someone else. What did you just say?"
Lied to me."
Chu Yunli nodded: "I just lied to you."
Hearing this, Zhang Mingli was so angry that his whole body was shaking with anger: "I'll kill you!"
Chu Yunli took a step back and touched her arm in feigned fear: "I'm timid, so don't scare me. So many people have heard that you want to kill me. If anything happens to me, it will be you.
By the way, two days ago, your family hired someone to set fire to Luo's house... I thought they were making random speculations and slandering you before, but now it seems that this matter is probably true."
It's just nonsense.
Zhang Mingli was so angry that he casually said that he had never killed a chicken in his life, and it was not his turn to do those conspiracies. He said nothing about killing people.
"Zhao Shuangyu, those things between us have long since passed. Even if I am sorry for you, the Zhang family has given you enough compensation. You always use those things in the past to embarrass us and slander us. Don't you think you are going too far?
?”
Chu Yunli had a puzzled look on her face: "As soon as I walked out of your Zhang family's door, I had already forgotten that people from your family have been coming to find trouble these days, and I have always avoided you. Why do you still want to let me go?
Are you satisfied if I go to your home in the suburbs or out of town?"
Zhang Mingli was angry, and he had drank too much recently, and his mind was not clear. Sometimes he didn't even know what he said. He also knew that talking too much would lead to mistakes. Besides, he finally saw it.
, Zhao Shuangyu now has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and whatever he says will be slapped back.
His rationality came back somewhat at this moment: "I just want to know who cured you and your wife. Even if you do me a favor, don't lie to me anymore and tell the truth, okay?"
"I just got the auxiliary medicine from Dr. Qian. If you don't believe it, what can I do?" Chu Yunli saw Lu Ting'an coming here from a distance, and she reminded: "I'm going to eat, you
Don't get entangled here. Also, people from the Yamen are coming."
After hearing this, Zhang Mingli suddenly realized that the steward who just said he was going to the Yamen was no longer there. He didn't feel that he was at fault, but he didn't want to go to the Yamen. He immediately yelled: "Zhao Shuangyu, why are you targeting me like this?"
"Obviously it's your Zhang family who won't let me go." Chu Yunli reached out and took the food from Lu Ting'an's hand: "I'm just pregnant. Any woman can be pregnant. Such a common thing will be in the eyes of your family."
This is a heinous crime. I beg you if you can let me go."
Zhang Mingli was very jealous.
She was also weak, so why could Lu Ting'an be pregnant?
Zhao Shuangyu, who was also sharp-tongued, looked at him like an enemy. When looking at Lu Ting'an, his eyes were so soft that water could drip from his eyes.
"Master Lu, do you think Pisces is a good woman?"
Lu Ting'an ignored him. After hearing this, he said: "She is the best person in the world. In my eyes, no one is better than her." After a pause, he continued: "Who is it?
If you bully her, you are bullying me. I thought you already understood this truth, but I didn't expect that you would still come to trouble her again and again."
He put the food on the table, then grabbed Zhang Mingli by the collar and took him to the street.
Zhang Mingli wanted to struggle, but he had been depressed for a long time recently. He was originally weak, but now he was like a weakling, and he was dragged out directly.
In front of everyone on the street, I knew how embarrassed he would look like. Zhang Mingli's face was particularly ugly: "Stop pulling and pulling, let me go quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, his neck relaxed and he fell to the ground.
Falling like this makes it even more embarrassing.
Zhang Mingli glared at the person in front of him fiercely, and was just thinking of scolding him. He saw that the person in front of him had already rolled up his sleeves, and the next moment, he punched him with his fist.
Sensing the pain on his body, Zhang Mingli suddenly remembered the last time he was beaten.
This Lu Ting'an was weak and weak, but his strikes were very powerful. When his fist hit his body, it was as heavy and hard as pig iron, which was extremely painful.
