Chapter 58 Cocoon Peeling
p.s.: Thanks to book friend "Zi Zi, Qiangwei" for the peace charm! Thank you to book friend Sa Sa for the peace charm! Thank you very much!
Ziyi, Qiangwei, thank you for your understanding and support! Yaoyao can still handle the 3,000-word update, haha.
Another note: This chapter has a few hundred more words, which can be regarded as a second update to make up for yesterday’s chapter that was too short. Dear book friends, Yaoyao still owes an update last week. I have been keeping it in mind and haven’t forgotten it. I will definitely update it before putting it on the shelves.
Supplement this with more free chapters.
-------------------------------------------------------
The veins on Zhang Caishu's forehead were twitching, and his face was covered with dark clouds, as if ink was about to drip out.
Zhang Caishu is not obsessed with women. Two of the three concubines he has now were given to him by the old lady after he became rich. The other one is Xianglan. He doesn’t care too much. It’s normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Although he just
A rich man who has purchased more and more land through his own efforts does not have so many formal principles and rules, but he also knows that there is a difference between a wife and a concubine. A concubine is just his wife's helper and maid, and they are their husband and wife's property and face.
Ever since Xia Ruoyun, who was born in an aristocratic family (although now he is from a down-to-earth family), married into the family, the house has become more and more orderly and "classy". The friends who come and go include the wealthy people in Lucheng who have made new friends in the past two or three years.
They all praised him and envied him for having a wife who was gentle, beautiful, well-educated, and good at running a house.
He always believed that his wife was virtuous, his concubines were obedient, and his children were smart and harmonious. When Xia Ruoyun got suspicious and put Xiangju next to Brother Xu, he laughed and called her careless. Xianglan was also the little girl next to Brother Xu's mother before.
How could the maid, who was trained by Aunt Wan, be harmful to Brother Xu? However, Xia Ruoyun was solely responsible for the affairs of the inner courtyard. He never gave any instructions, he only smiled and said nothing.
However, now... now..., thinking of the possibility of losing his wife and youngest son together, and perhaps venting his anger on his eldest son for ruining the relationship between father and son, Zhang Caishu's hands and feet were almost cold, and a cold feeling came from the bottom of his heart. "Come here, bring me your son."
Aunt Wan, "please" come to me." The gritted "please" word made the two women who followed the order clenched their fists: they had to be tied up, otherwise they would be the ones in the frying pan.
Mother Wu was shocked and angry, and kicked Xianglan: "Bitch hoof, did my wife treat you badly? At that time, your brother was sick, and my wife not only gave you ten days off to help your mother take care of your brother, but also gave you a
I took 5 taels of silver and gave it to you. Didn’t the eldest young master treat you badly? Sister Pandan is a mouthful. She has delicious food but she still wants to leave some for a maid like you. You evil-hearted little bitch, you are still a human being.
You?"
Xianglan smiled miserably: "It's all hypocrisy! Are you good to me? Why are you so good to me but you still refuse to ask me to be your aunt after so many years? And you want to marry me off to a farmer?"
Mother Wu laughed angrily. Xia Ruoyun married Xianglan to a rich farmer who had just made a fortune. The family also had nearly a hundred acres of farmland, a newly built two-story yard, and I heard they also bought two well-located shops.
, was planning to buy a few more slaves after the mistress came in. When Xia Ruoyun married into the Zhang family, the Zhang family was only a little better than this one.
People also consider marrying Xianglan because of the good rules of the Zhang family. They think that the eldest maids from such a house are better than the girls from small families. They hope that they can take care of the house like Xia Ruoyun, the wife of the Zhang family, set rules and help.
Make the family prosperous.
Zhang Caishu became even more angry after hearing Xianglan's words. His wife's natal nephew was here, and Liu's mother from the palace was there. Wouldn't he be laughing at him for the lack of rules in the Zhang family? Maybe he would also suspect that he and Xianglan had already had a relationship.
Who knows, Zhang Caishu has always behaved well with all the maids in the house, and most of them have never even looked at them.
"You are such a treacherous and cruel-hearted bastard, and you still want to be our Zhang family's aunt?" Zhang Caishu coldly looked down at Xianglan who was kneeling on the ground, "I will let you do your best as an aunt, Wu
Mom, call Yapo, sell this cheap maid to the lowest building, and let her be the aunt of a different man every day for the rest of her life."
"No, Master, wuwuwu, this slave really wants to serve the master." Xianglan cried loudly and wanted to rush forward to hug Zhang Caishu's legs, but he kicked him away. The look of disgust on her face was like looking at a
Mangy dog.
Aunt Wan, who had just stepped in, saw this scene and was immediately stunned.
The mother-in-law just told her that the master was accompanying her natal nephew to have dinner in the hall and invited her over. She was still complacent. If the wife fell, she would be the mistress of the Zhang family. She had knowledge, the ability to run the family, and the
The ex-wife’s affection and understanding of the master made her the impeccable first choice.
Looking at Xianglan who was in a mess and crying, Aunt Wan's heart skipped a beat and she quickly regained her composure. Even if what Xianglan had done was exposed, she would never dare to bite her. Fortunately, she had taken precautions and would
Her mother and brother, whom she valued most, were locked up in a small courtyard where she could not find them.
"What's going on? What did Xianglan do to make the master so angry?" Aunt Wan exclaimed pretending to be surprised, and then changed the atmosphere in a very "understanding" manner: "Hey, how can you make Brother Chen so cold in such a cold weather?
Has your son been brought out? My maid is about to go see the young master. Look, our brother Chen is so strong and cute. Fortunately, my maid has been persuading my wife to eat. As the saying goes, eat one to make up for two, mother eats.
Yes, it’s my brother’s fault.”
She became angry when she thought of this. She originally planned to "care" for Xia Ruoyun a lot, and kept urging her to eat more and take more supplements. It would be better to kill two people during the birth, which would save her worries and allow herself to be "virtuous and generous" to the master.
"A profound impression.
Unexpectedly, not long after, Wu’s mother somehow convinced her to control her food intake and walk around the yard regularly every day.
Seeing that the day of delivery was getting closer, the doctor always said that Xia Ruoyun had a good pregnancy and would be able to give birth smoothly, and also deduced that she was a young master. Aunt Wan then became anxious and planned a big drama for Zhang Xu to knock Xia Ruoyun over. As long as Xia Ruoyun was eliminated.
Mother and son, if she controls Zhang Xu, who was separated from the master, in her own hands, the master and the entire Zhang family will belong to her and her daughter. So what if they can’t give birth to a son? From the moment she tampered with her ex-wife during the birth
, the hostess of the Zhang family is her target.
At the same time, Shuyao also looked coldly at this seemingly simple and innocent woman who looked at Brother Chen with a "loving" face. In her previous life, her aunt fell into her "well-intentioned" trap and ate and drank too much.
Both mother and child died, dying in childbirth!
Aunt Wan's complicated eyes fell on Xianglan. At this juncture, she couldn't let Xianglan get into trouble. "You must have made some big mistake to make me so angry. If you make a mistake, you must accept the punishment. Don't worry,
Our Zhang family is a family of benevolence and righteousness. Considering the love you have served Brother Xu for many years, we will give your family a few taels of settlement money and will not affect them."
Xianglan saw clearly the threat in Aunt Wan's eyes, held back her tears and sneered: "Auntie threatens this slave. It's too late for me to rush to clear things up. The master knows everything. Your end will not be much better than that of this slave."
"You..." Aunt Wan's face suddenly turned pale, and she knelt down in front of Zhang Caishu, who had a face like an iceberg, "Master, please don't listen to this cheap maid. I don't know anything."
I treat the eldest young master as my own, and the young master is so young and cute, how could I harm them?"
"Oh? You just came in, how did you know that Xianglan's mistake was to murder the two young masters? Did they tell you?" Zhang Caishu pointed at the two women who passed the message and narrowed his eyes dangerously.
The two wives quickly knelt down and replied: "No, sir, we didn't say anything. We just said that my wife's nephew is here, and I asked Aunt Wan to come over." They didn't want to be innocently implicated by Aunt Wan.
"Master..." Aunt Wan couldn't turn her head, it was so sudden! Why did everything go in the opposite direction in an instant? How many tricks did Xianglan recruit in total? Master, do you believe it?
Zhang Caishu was not even interested in confronting Aunt Wan. He could clearly see the vicious look in Aunt Wan's glance at Xianglan just now. He could not escape the palette-like change on Aunt Wan's face when she stepped in the door.
His gaze. He never wanted to look at such a double-dealing and sinister woman again. If it weren't for the fear of affecting the daughter she gave birth to, he would definitely let her and Xianglan be companions so that they could have "blessings" together.
Enjoy.
Waving his hands feebly, Zhang Caishu said coldly to the housekeeper who had just arrived: "Aunt Wan asked herself to pray for my wife, chant sutras for the ancestors of the Zhang family, enter the family temple to become a monk, and practice cultivation. She must die without leaving the family temple.
"
Aunt Wan's head exploded with a "bang", and before she could even open her mouth to defend and beg for mercy, the two women, at the signal of the housekeeper, blocked her and Xianglan's mouths with sweat towels and dragged them out together.
Shujie and Shuyao both nodded inwardly: This uncle is not confused, and he is not sloppy in his actions. It seems that he really loves his aunt. If Zhang Caishu is moved by Aunt Wan and Xianglan's tears and "tenderness" today, he will be punished lightly.
If it's over, Shujie, as Xia Ruoyun's mother-in-law, will definitely not just sit by and watch as if nothing happened.
Chapter completed!
