Chun Xingchuncao followed Shen Yuezhang back to the backyard.
Alan stayed to clean up, and then went to the kitchen to make food for Su Tai.
The shop door was closed and it was quiet inside.
Su Tai lit a candle and talked with Su Yu around the small coffee table.
"Is there any action from the Zhu family?" Su Yu asked in a low voice.
Su Tai nodded, "I went to the Yamen as soon as I came back. Fortunately, I reported the news in advance and Shen Yi rushed over to solve it. The problem is not big. What I am more curious about is the woman Zhu Yixuan brought back."
"Do you think he brought Cen Mingzhu back with him?" Su Yu made a bold guess.
Su Tai glanced at her appreciatively, "I suspected the same, but it's a pity that the Zhu family hasn't moved out yet. There are no people in the old city, so it's hard to get information. You guard the shop, and you can't hide any troubles in the new city from your eyes. Just keep an eye on it for me.”
"Easy to say!"
The Zhu family at this time.
Zhu Yixuan was called over by Mr. Zhu as soon as he returned home.
Mr. Zhu angrily reprimanded: "Why did you bring Mrs. Cen back? You know she is an exiled sinner! If this kind of thing spreads, do you want to kill the entire Zhu family?
Also, the housekeeper said that she was pregnant and about to give birth. What was going on? Boss! How long has it been since your mother's three-year mourning period? You are confused! ”
According to the month of Cen Mingzhu's pregnancy, the child was born during the mourning period. If word spread, the Zhu family would be completely embarrassed. If someone complained and reported it, it would be a big trouble.
Zhu Yixuan can hide it from anyone, but he can't hide it from Master Zhu.
He had no choice but to explain: "Dad, the child in Cen's belly is not mine, and I did not mess around."
"What! You, you, she, she, she, you, you, she, she, are shameless! You bring such a woman back? Are you crazy?" Mr. Zhu was so angry that he almost had a heart attack. If his leg hadn't been injured and couldn't move, he would have jumped up now.
Zhu Yixuan thought of that unattainable nobleman, gritted his teeth and resisted Master Zhu's anger, "Dad, I can't tell you the specific situation, but you have to believe me, I have never done anything unfilial, Cen's Huai He is the child of a big shot. If something happens to the child, our whole family will lose our heads.
She must be well cared for. She knows her situation well and won't cause trouble for the time being. Don't worry about her affairs, just leave them to me.
I just went to the county government office to see Shen Yi. He said that the county government office would be moved soon and that the entire old city would be under the control of the garrison. I thought it was Shen Yi who was scaring me.
I sent someone to inquire and found out that it was true. Lu Tong and Shen Yi have now completely lost control of the old city. Even if our family finds people to make trouble with them, it is useless. We can only start by garrisoning troops or... compromise! ”
"It's absolutely impossible for me to compromise! I finally defeated the Cui family, tortured the Bai family to death, and made the Zhu family the first family in Zhaohua County! How can I compromise! That would cost my life!" Mr. Zhu His chest was rising and falling violently, his eyes were red, and his expression was gradually going crazy.
Zhu Yixuan comforted him and said, "Dad, I'm still working hard to deal with the garrison, but the situation is not optimistic. Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Don't worry, if we suffer a small loss now, the noble people will make up for it in the future."
"Your Excellency?" After hearing these two words, Mr. Zhu's mood relaxed a lot.
Zhu Yixuan said meaningfully: "I raised children for you, and you will naturally repay me for such a great kindness. It's just a matter of time. Dad can rest assured and wait for me to make plans."
Although Mr. Zhu is dissatisfied with his son's secretiveness, he believes in Zhu Yixuan's ability. "Okay! Anyway, the Zhu family will be yours from now on. You can do whatever you want! But since Mrs. Cen is pregnant with someone else's child, she can no longer continue the bloodline of our Zhu family. I will do this later. Send two maids over and ask them to serve you well.”
Zhu Yixuan paused slightly and finally nodded in response.
When he returned to the main courtyard, he went to see Cen Mingzhu first, "I thought I could avoid the limelight by bringing you back, but I didn't expect that the Zhu family was also in troubled times. Neither you nor your children should be exposed. I think you should understand .”
"Zhu Yixuan, why do you talk to me like this! The second prince has already forgiven me for my sins, and no one dares to do anything to me even if I walk out in a grand manner!" Cen Mingzhu raised her chin proudly.
Zhu Yixuan suddenly laughed, "Yes, you have the support of the second prince. It is true that no one can do anything to you, but can you see the light? Does the second prince dare to openly admit you and the child in your belly?
< br>
No way! Before the second prince comes to the throne, you can only be the eldest young lady of the Zhu family. The three-year mourning period has not passed, but the eldest young lady is pregnant. If word spreads, you will be jailed!
You can’t heal your scars and forget about the pain, right? ”
"Are you threatening me?" Cen Mingzhu was furious.
Xiaoshuang hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Young Madam, please calm down and take care of yourself. The eldest young master is right. You will enter the palace in the future. It would be inappropriate if you get a bad reputation."
In fact, Cen Mingzhu has no reputation at all now, but there is no way to appease her otherwise.
Sure enough, when it came to entering the palace, Cen Mingzhu immediately calmed down, "You are right, I have to hold back in order to enter the palace!"
Seeing her like that, Zhu Yixuan mocked secretly, turned around and left without looking back.
In the next few days, Zhu Yixuan was running around, sending money and beauties but was unable to reach the garrison leader, and his mood became more and more irritable day by day.
The housekeeper didn't dare to face him, but he had to report the news to him, so he had no choice but to step forward and reply, "Young Master, the county government office started moving today."
"So soon? Didn't you say it would take a few months?" Zhu Yixuan's face was ashen, and a burst of anger was coming out.
The housekeeper was so frightened that he trembled. "The younger one only found out after he sent someone to keep a close eye on him. He said that the garrison wanted to dig up the county government office first."
The place where the coal mine was first discovered was Shen Yi's house, which was right next to the county government office. Now that the surrounding area of the county government office had been hollowed out, it was understandable that the garrison would attack there.
"That's too much! I've already taken out my father-in-law, but the other party didn't even give me any face!" Zhu Yixuan was really going crazy.
Even if Cen Mingzhu cuckolded him, he wouldn't be so angry.
The housekeeper's heart sank, "Young Master, what should we do next?"
Zhu Yixuan frowned tiredly, and after a while he asked: "What's the situation like in the Zhaizipuzi fields over there in the new city?"
The butler's face instantly turned pale, and he was hesitant and unable to speak.
Zhu Yixuan suddenly had a bad premonition, "It can't be nothing!"
The housekeeper knelt down with a plop and cried uncontrollably, "The master said he would rather die than move, and refused to accept the compensation from the county government. Because the matter was undecided, the county government planned and resettled the people on its own without waiting for us. Later, it also implemented new policies. According to the policy, the ownerless houses, shops and fields in the new district were sold
Now even if we move there, we won't be able to get a house or a house in a good location. "(End of Chapter)
