The mother-in-law couldn't understand the master's decision.
Nowadays, the young master is so stubborn that he can't keep up his energy, and he is no different from a useless person. He is so depressed because he has been severely hit. Now that the news comes out that the master values other children, the young master will be even more sad.
.
Besides, if this kind of thing spreads, it will not be of any benefit to Madam.
Seeing that the mother-in-law beside her remained silent, Mrs. Zhang looked sideways and emphasized: "It is best to spread the word to our aunt."
After the mother-in-law understood what she said, she hurriedly lowered her head: "Yes!"
As the first person around the master, the mother-in-law knows more than others. My aunt wants to wipe out the Zhang family. Now that she knows that the master's maid is pregnant, she will definitely take action.
After Mr. Zhang arranged the cooks and waiters, he was still unwilling to give in and went out to see some doctors.
The doctors didn't dare to say anything. Only one said he couldn't have any more children at his age. The others said it was fate.
Whatever happens, there is still a chance.
Since there is a chance, the child in Ziyi's belly is likely to be his. Mr. Zhang is not a person who is easily fooled. On the other hand, he also sent people to check Ziyi.
In the past year, Ziyi has not had many relationships with men, and none of them may have had an affair with her.
The person who investigated this matter was the most loyal person around Mr. Zhang. After hearing the report, he felt extremely happy.
In other words, besides the eldest son who has become a cripple, he can have other children.
Even if she is just a daughter, she will not really be dead. The worst she can do is to recruit a son-in-law and raise her grandson properly. He calculated his age, and after raising his child, he will raise his grandson... and take good care of his body.
Well, what is likely to happen this time is that after he has re-taught a family head who knows how to do business, he will have an explanation for his ancestors a hundred years later.
The more he thought about it, the happier he became. Mr. Zhang was light on his feet. He thought of something and told the steward: "You must be careful about this matter, Madam, and don't allow her to do unnecessary things."
After finishing speaking, he still felt uneasy, so he pondered for a moment: "Find someone to open a small Buddhist hall for Madam to pray for. No one is allowed to see her except the person who delivers the food. It will be said that Madam is recuperating!"
After a pause, he continued: "Zhao Shuangyu went too far to bully others. He slapped my Zhang family in the face in front of everyone. My wife stayed in the house to recuperate, so that outsiders could know how domineering and unreasonable she is!"
After hearing the man's instructions, Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment, but she was not surprised. She packed her things and moved into the small Buddhist hall without any objection.
Mr. Zhang originally thought that the lady was going to make a big fuss, so he was already planning to ask the steward to bring a few more powerful women to lock her up. He heard that she was very well-behaved. He couldn't believe it for a while.
However, it is a good thing not to make trouble.
Maybe Madam really did something wrong back then, fearing that he would divorce her if he found out, so she was obedient and obedient... Mr. Zhang no longer wanted to care about the past. When the child was born and was sure to be of his own blood, he raised Ziyi as his aunt.
Then I’ll think about how to settle my wife!
Mrs. Zhang was seriously injured and was no longer seen. The news soon reached Chu Yunli's ears.
It was just a hit from a chair. If it fell on a wife who had been pampered for many years, she would indeed suffer a lot. In fact, if it was a country person who often worked, then the hit would be nothing at all.
With such an injury, Chu Yunli could not even say a single word when he had to thank guests behind closed doors.
In her opinion, Mr. Zhang used this incident to make outsiders condemn her.
The Zhang family did indeed get their wish.
Many people say that as a second-married daughter, Zhao Shuangyu joined the Lu family and did well in the business, and then the two of them drifted apart. They dared to beat people in the street... There are many people in this world who think that parents who are all wrong in the world are mean to their elders.
You should be respectful and respectful. Even if Zhao Shuangyu is no longer the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, you should not be disrespectful to your elders, let alone do anything.
You won't be incriminated for talking nonsense, there's almost anything out there. Chu Yunli didn't take it to heart at all. However, she didn't intend to let the Zhang family off easily.
As a result, rumors about the grievances between the Zhang family brothers and sisters soon spread, and the news that the Zhang family father and son were unable to have children was also mixed in.
Zhang Mingli is indeed unable to give birth.
As for the reason, outsiders don't know at all. He doesn't have any children, and many people think it is a hidden disease he was born with. After hearing this news, this kind of people understand that the Zhang family still has these secrets.
Mrs. Zhang is pitiful, but she is too cruel to treat her parents' family like this. If a family has such a daughter, and the whole family has no descendants and no successors, it will be unlucky for eight lifetimes.
Just like the discussion about Zhao Shuangyu, after everyone heard the news, they all said anything. Especially at this moment when Mr. Zhang had just announced that he was about to have a son, many people were discussing whether he could give birth.
When Mr. Zhang heard the rumors outside, he was about to explode with anger.
It is said that family scandals should not be made public, even if there is a quarrel between brother and sister. He never thought about letting outsiders condemn his sister after the incident was spread.
After a detailed investigation and the culprit was determined, Mr. Zhang couldn't bear it for a moment and went straight to the door of Lu's house.
Mr. Lu has been very busy recently, and the only people in the house are the eldest son and his wife, who are having an argument, so he simply doesn't come back at night.
Mr. Zhang was in vain because the couple had not returned yet. He was determined to seek justice and did not leave immediately, but waited in the carriage at the door.
When Chu Yunli and Chu Yunli arrived at the door of the house, they were blocked.
"Zhao Shuangyu, come down here and speak clearly."
Chu Yunli opened the curtain and saw the angry man, and said with a smile: "What a rare visitor! Mr. Zhang is busy with work, why do you have time to come here?" She looked at the door again: "Why didn't you go in?"
Mr. Zhang waited for a long time. As he waited longer, he became more and more angry. At this moment, his anger had reached its peak. He stepped forward and pulled the curtain: "I'm here to settle accounts with you today. Come down quickly."
Lu Ting'an frowned and stretched out his hand to push the person away: "Stop pulling and being reasonable. We are not timid people. My wife is pregnant, don't hurt her!"
At this moment, Mr. Zhang simply had the intention to kill people, and said angrily: "Then you guys come down. I have already asked clearly. Those things about the Zhang family outside are all spread by you and your wife. I just want to ask,
Why do you do this? Why do you fabricate things to ruin the reputation of my Zhang family?"
Chu Yunli got off the carriage from the other side and looked confused when he heard this: "Making it up? I'm telling the truth. Didn't your sister ruin the Zhang family? Isn't it because of his aunt that Zhang Mingli couldn't have a baby? You are the same
He was also drugged... Mr. Zhang, please don't lie to me. Outsiders don't know, but I know the inside story." She said matter-of-factly: "Speaking of which, I am also one of the victims. I am also the most unjust among them, just because of my marriage.
I gave you a son, so you will be known as a thief for no reason, and then you will be forced by your Zhang family to drink abortion pills."
"I compensated you." Mr. Zhang was full of anger: "You took 20,000 taels of silver, so you should shut up."
Chu Yunli looked confused: "As someone who was harmed by you, why should I help you hide it?"
Lu Ting'an, who was next to him, also joined in: "Don't be upset. I heard that you are about to have a child. This is a great thing. People feel refreshed when happy events happen. Don't be so angry!"
Mr. Zhang stared at him fiercely.
It is indeed a good thing that a woman can be pregnant at this age. But at this critical moment, saying that he cannot have children... Just as Mrs. Zhang guessed, many people will think that he is trying to cover up his reputation of being unable to have children.
Deliberately finding a pregnant woman to claim to be her bloodline.
Now if he were to go to the streets and forcefully explain to people that it was really his child, no one would believe him.
This is so frustrating!
"You two... I will remember it." Mr. Zhang was so angry that his hands were shaking: "Zhao Shuangyu, originally I thought that our Zhang family had treated you badly and would not care about you anymore. But if you insist on letting it go, then I will
I have no choice but to help you. You have to be more careful in this city from now on."
Chu Yunli blinked: "I'm so scared."
Mr. Zhang heard the sarcasm in her words and sneered: "Even if I don't make money, I will only steal your customers. I don't believe you can still be so smooth!"
He looked at Lu Ting'an again: "Master Lu, they all say that in doing business you have to be kind to others. What you and your wife did is really disgusting. If your business is robbed later, don't blame me!"
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.
Unfortunately, there was a steward standing behind him. He was in a daze, and the master and servant were bumping into each other, making them extremely embarrassed. A servant next to him couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Mr. Zhang felt that he had lost face and glared at him fiercely.
The servant belonged to the Lu family, and he hurriedly lowered his head for fear of getting into trouble.
At this time, another carriage came from a distance. The group of people didn't pay attention to it and thought it was a servant from some house on this street.
Mr. Zhang was about to get on his carriage, but the carriage over there had stopped. A steward climbed down from the top and said: "Master, something happened!"
The steward was extremely flustered and had a look of fear on his face. He knew at a glance that something serious had happened. Mr. Zhang was shocked and had no time to care about the steward's disrespect: "Speak nicely."
"The girl in purple has seen blood." The steward cried with a sad face, kneeling on the ground and not daring to raise his head.
Hearing this, Mr. Zhang's hands shook even more violently, and it took him a long time to find his voice: "How could something happen?"
"Youngster doesn't know either." The steward noticed his anger and leaned deeper: "Youngster rushed over as soon as he got the news. Come and take a look!"
No need to listen to the steward's reminder, Mr. Zhang had already turned around and got on the carriage: "Go and hire some smart doctors, the kind who are good at protecting babies."
After doing so much research, he was already 90% sure that the child in Ziyi's belly was of Zhang family blood.
If something happens to this child, he will never have another bloodline in his life.
Mr. Zhang thought of this and looked serious. Before leaving, he saw the couple on the roadside and said harshly: "If something happens to this child, I will not let you go."
Chu Yunli laughed: "That's unreasonable!"
Lu Ting'an supported her: "If you were reasonable, you wouldn't be my wife."
She should still be the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family.
"You're right." Chu Yunli thought of something and pulled Lu Ting'an into the carriage again: "Let's go and take a look. After all, if something happens to the child, Mr. Zhang will blame us."
Mr. Zhang had already got on the carriage and left, so he didn't take it to heart when he heard this. Anyway, just ask the concierge to stop the two of them and prevent them from entering.
Zi Yi was indeed red, and the bleeding couldn't stop at all. Everyone in the courtyard was frightened. Everyone knew how much the master valued this child. Now that something happened to the child, everyone in the courtyard must be
Can't get better.
When Mr. Zhang entered the door, he immediately noticed the heavy atmosphere inside and the smell of blood that filled his nose. In addition to the worry in his heart, he was full of anger and had no place to express: "Where is Madam?"
Subconsciously, he thought it was his wife.
But this matter really has nothing to do with Mrs. Zhang. The steward whispered: "Madam has been in the small Buddhist hall all the time. Except for the person who delivered the food, she has not been in contact with anyone. After asking carefully, the leftover food was left in the
At the door, the lady picked it up herself."
In other words, Mrs. Zhang never met anyone at all.
Under such circumstances, it would be too far-fetched to say that it was her fault.
Mr. Zhang frowned and looked at the doctor waiting in the room: "What should I say?"
The doctor secretly complained, but he could only tell the truth: "I can't save it."
Mr. Zhang closed his eyes and urged: "Have the other doctors arrived?"
He was in a hurry to come back, and the doctor was still on the way. However, there were also doctors who lived nearby who had already arrived at the door.
Ziyi was unconscious, leaning on the bed with a pale face. At first glance, he looked like he was out of breath.
Mr. Zhang's heart became heavier when he saw the man in this state. When the two doctors came in and heard them saying that the child was no longer here, he still couldn't give up: "Is it really impossible to save him?"
The doctor shook his head and asked him to hire someone else.
Mr. Zhang has not asked about the reason for the abortion since he just entered the house, and he doesn't want to face it. Several doctors said that there is no way to save him, and he can only accept the fact that the child is no longer there.
"Obviously, I said it was nothing serious two days ago. Just drink two pairs of anti-fetal pills. Why did you suddenly bleed so much?"
The three doctors wanted to say the reason, but no one asked, and they couldn't take the initiative to mention it. Hearing this, several people looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward and said: "This is a woman who has been given the drug of tiger and wolf, specially for abortion."
That kind of thing. If this girl wants to have a child of her own in the future, she needs to take good care of it. It may not be effective within three to five years."
So cruel?
Mr. Zhang was angry and kicked the stool in front of him: "Who is it?"
The doctor did not dare to say anything and looked at the steward.
They wanted to take the consultation fee and leave, but they were extremely unwilling to get involved in the private affairs of the back houses of these wealthy families.
Mr. Zhang's face was particularly ugly. The manager was not willing to let himself suffer for the sake of outsiders, so he pretended not to see the doctor's expression. Fortunately, Mr. Zhang was not so angry that he lost his mind and quickly came to his senses: "Send a few doctors."
go out."
After sending the people away, he remembered the two doctors he had arranged for Ziyi earlier.
"Where are those two?"
The steward immediately replied: "The medicine the girl drank was prepared by them. This sudden miscarriage is probably because they were bribed. Therefore, the younger one immediately had them locked up in the yard after the incident. Master
You can call people over for interrogation at any time."
Mr. Zhang rubbed his brows and said, "This is well done. Please invite the people over. By the way, call the madam out as well."
Mrs. Zhang was copying scriptures in the Buddhist hall, and when she heard someone coming to invite her, she was immediately overjoyed. After so many years of love between husband and wife, the master still did not give up on her completely.
However, he locked her up or asked her to go out again. Something else must have happened.
When she asked, she soon learned the truth.
When Mrs. Zhang heard that Zi Yi's child could not be saved, the corners of her lips could not help but curl up. When she arrived at Zi Yi's yard, she happened to see the master interrogating two doctors.
She had been copying scriptures for the past two days. She was dressed simply and plainly, with no jewelry on her head and no makeup. Master Zhang glanced at her and then focused his attention on the two kneeling doctors on the ground again: "I will hand the girl over to you."
You are taking care of me, but something like this happened in just two days. Who will believe that you are innocent? Hurry up and tell the truth, tell the person behind the scenes, I will spare your life. Otherwise, you will have to be brought to court to be convicted!"
The two doctors complained repeatedly.
Mrs. Zhang stood next to the man with a smile and said, "Master, please calm down. This matter may really have nothing to do with the two doctors."
Mr. Zhang was interrogating someone, and as soon as she came forward, she exonerated him, indicating that she was trying to undermine him.
"Madam! I think you still want to go back to the Buddhist hall!"
Mrs. Zhang was not afraid of his anger. She lowered her head and said, "Have you forgotten that someone forbids you to have children?"
Hearing this, Mr. Zhang frowned even more tightly.
In fact, this makes sense. My sister hates them to the core. Even though she has caused such harm to the Zhang family, she still has not calmed down. The news that his first-in-law's maid is pregnant has spread like wildfire, and it is difficult not to spread it to the Liu family.
In particular, my sister pays special attention to the news about the Zhang family. She must have known it for a long time. Mr. Zhang closed his eyes and said, "Madam, are you seeing my joke? As the wife of the Zhang family, we are both prosperous and have no heirs to inherit the family business."
, how can you still laugh?"
Mrs. Zhang waved her hand: "You should have taught your sister a lesson a long time ago, but you only care about the brother-sister relationship... You care, but others don't."
She tilted her head and said, "I heard that Madam Lu's wife has arrived at the door? Invite people in!"
Mr. Zhang hates the couple in his heart. Besides, the family scandal should not be made public. It is not okay to invite people in to watch his own jokes!
"Don't go."
Mrs. Zhang plausibly said: "Speaking of which, Pisces was killed so miserably. It was also your sister's fault. Someone should come in and take a look."
Mr. Zhang stared at her fiercely: "Madam, do you have to go against me?"
Mrs. Zhang fell silent and no longer insisted.
Originally, Mr. Zhang never wanted to see that terrible sister in his life. At least after discovering what his sister had done, he didn't want to have anything to do with her for the time being. But at this moment, he couldn't find out the truth for a while, and he was very upset.
I simply sent someone to invite Mrs. Zhang.
Rather than going around to check and be discussed by others, it is better to directly invite people over and ask, since they are not outsiders anyway.
Mrs. Zhang came very quickly and saw Chu Yunli at the door. She was surprised at first, then smiled and said, "Why are you here?"
When Chu Yunli saw her, her face was filled with indifference: "I heard that something happened to the Zhang family. Mr. Zhang insisted that it was us who killed him. He also said that if the child couldn't keep it safe, he would settle the score with us and our husband. We are really wronged, so we came here to have a look.
Let’s take a look. Why did Madam Liu come here?”
"My good brother should be asking me for questions." Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Since we are all at the door, let's go in and take a look."
Chu Yunli was not surprised at all by her decision.
The Zhang family doesn't want the family scandal to be publicized, and Mrs. Zhang will not care about the face of her brother and sister-in-law. After all, she hates her brother and sister-in-law to the core of her bones and wishes everyone would laugh at the Zhang family.
It's not good for her to tell some things personally, but if an outsider tells them, it's none of her business.
With Mrs. Zhang taking them, the couple entered the door easily.
In the courtyard outside, there were people kneeling on the ground. Mr. Zhang looked heavy, and when he saw Chu Yunli, his expression became even worse.
"Kick them out."
Immediately, two stewards came forward, and Mrs. Zhang said: "Brother, Mrs. Lu is pregnant. The people below are careless. If someone is hurt, the Lu family will not repay you."
When Mr. Zhang saw the culprit, he felt uncomfortable and angry: "Sister, do you have to do this?"
Mrs. Zhang raised her eyebrows: "What did I do?" Her eyes fell on the two doctors on the ground: "Brother, why did you come to me? Do you think I did something wrong again? By the way, I did it.
Admit it! I didn’t do it, don’t even think about pressing it on my head!”
Master Zhang asked: "Do you dare to say that Ziyi's pregnancy has nothing to do with you?"
"Well, it's still somewhat related." After Zhang finished speaking, she met her brother's murderous gaze. She looked disapproving and said with a smile: "But brother, aren't you curious about where I got the news?
"
Mr. Zhang's eyes subconsciously fell on Chu Yunli.
Chu Yunli emphasized: "This matter has nothing to do with me. Our husband and wife are busy with business and have no time for such trivial matters."
Mrs. Zhang laughed loudly: "Brother, there is no need to doubt others. I will get the news so quickly, but my good sister-in-law specially sent someone to inform her. It is said that after that, she was imprisoned in the small Buddhist hall by you."
Mr. Zhang suddenly turned his head and glared at his wife beside him: "Is that you?"
Mrs. Zhang didn't want to admit it, so she took a step back: "Master, she is trying to sow discord between our husband and wife again. I haven't even left the house in the past two days..."
"Sister-in-law, I told you before you were imprisoned." Mrs. Zhang's face was full of ridicule: "I just can't understand that as a human being, I am open-minded and dare to do what I do. But you are just like a rat in the gutter.
