Chapter 33: Asking for Hardship 3
"Do you know what your mother told me after you left?"
Leng Qing paused, and saw that Zhu Zimo just lowered his head and listened and didn't mean to ask before continuing: "Second aunt sued me, that night twenty-four years ago, it wasn't your father who forced her, it was the second aunt who was willing, because the second aunt loves your father......"
Although Leng Qing's word "love" did not make Zhu Zimo look up in surprise, it also made Zhu Zimo frown unconsciously.
Sure enough, it was the same as he thought, his mother's ...... Really in love with that bastard.
Leng Qing didn't know what Zhu Zimo was thinking, so she only continued to say: "Do you know why the second aunt has stayed alone in the Nuanxiang Pavilion for nearly twenty-four years and has never complained? It's not that the second aunt doesn't want to get out of that forgotten small courtyard, but the second aunt doesn't want to trouble your father and you. The second aunt has always been very inferior to her background, and she complains that she is not a young lady of a family but just a child of a family, but she has never complained about your father's affection, because the second aunt loves your father, and she loves it very much! That kind of love is that as long as you can look at your father from afar, you will feel very happy and happy. β
When Leng Qing said the last sentence, her voice was very soft and light, as if she had witnessed Liu Ruyun's love for Zhu Hui, the kind of love that went deep into the bone marrow.
"What do you feel when someone tells you that the person you love so much is being driven to death by your own child? Desolation, sorrow, pain, or despair? These are not enough to describe the pain of being forced to lose your loved one by the person closest to you. Leng Qing's voice was a little ethereal, as if she remembered some past.
looked at Zhu Zimo, who was silent, and Leng Qing's voice gradually became a little cold and stiff: "Life, you can't be together, but you want to die, you can stay together, this is your mother's feelings for your father." You've lost your loved ones before, haven't you? I'm sure you know that very well, it's just that the second aunt is not as strong as you. When the second aunt learns that her beloved has passed away, all the second aunt thinks about is to go with her beloved. You ask yourself, isn't your mother hurt by you or by whom?"
Leng Qing's words hit Zhu Zimo's sore spot very accurately, Leng Qing didn't know how chaotic Zhu Zimo's heart was at this moment.
Zhu Zimo hated, he hated that he couldn't prevent Cheng Xiao's death at the beginning, and hated him even more now, if he could have taken off his disguise earlier, if he hadn't told those secrets, maybe today's YiqiΔ would be different.
This woman is right, it was he who forced his biological father to death, it was he who caused his mother's heart to be cut off and there was no love, and every qiΔ was caused by him!
Watching Zhu Zimo's right hand resting on the bookcase gradually clenched into a fist, Leng Qing knew that he was already regretting what he had done today.
"We will get married the day after tomorrow, for your mother. He spoke again without hurrying, obviously it was a major marriage event, but Leng Qing said it so casually.
Zhu Zimo raised his head awkwardly, looked at Leng Qing in a daze, and asked coldly after a while, "Why?"
Closing his eyes lightly, Leng Qing took a deep breath before opening his star-like eyes and looking at Zhu Zimo fixedly, with a bit of sarcasm in his words: "You will be twenty-five years old as soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passes this year! Other people's sons will all start a family as soon as the weak crown passes, and some will even start a family before the weak crown, but you have been alone because of your eldest brother, and you don't even have a concubine by your side, do you want your mother to look at you before she dies and still be alone?
"I don't want to have a wife yet. Staring at Leng Qing for a few seconds, Zhu Zimo's tone softened slightly, but it was still a little cold.
Until he accomplishes his mission, he will not allow anyone who might be a drag on him to survive, except for his mother, but now......
"Heh!" Leng Qing sneered, propped her hands on the edge of the bookcase, and looked at Zhu Zimo condescendingly: "It turns out that you still don't realize what you are doing wrong! If you don't marry a wife, let your mother die with regret, how filial do you think you are!"
Zhu Zimo was enraged by Leng Qing again, looking at Leng Qing's eyes as cold as ice, and his words were merciless: "Don't you have to make an inch! Don't you understand if I say not to marry? Why are you so shameless!"
"Do you think I'm willing?!" Leng Qing finally became angry, and she yelled at Zhu Zimo loudly: "I've been suing you since I came in, I'm for your mother, if it weren't for your mother wanting to see you start a family before she died, do you think I would have promised your mother to do such a ridiculous thing? What kind of broken lady do you think I am willing to be you......?
Because the wound on his chest had not yet recovered, Leng Qing coughed violently as soon as he finished yelling, and all of Zhu Zimo's feelings disappeared at the moment Leng Qing finished yelling.
Leaning back on the back of the chair in a dejected manner, the left hand under the case tightly held the peach hairpin, and Zhu Zimo's voice was a little faint: "What do you mean...... My mother's ...... Want to see me start a family before she dies......"
Holding back the pain in her chest, Leng Qing reached out and wiped the cold sweat oozing from her forehead, glared at Zhu Zimo angrily and said, "Otherwise, what do you think?"
Grandma's! Dare to say that she is shameless! Who did she recruit to provoke anyone! What a good heart is not rewarded! Zhu Zimo is a fucking bastard!
"Okay, I promise you. Without hesitation, without hesitation, the simple five words came out of Zhu Zimo's mouth like this, but they used up all Zhu Zimo's strength.
The peach hairpin held tightly in his left hand is so hot at the moment, his mother has never given up on him from the beginning, no matter when, he is always his mother's favorite son. He can't let his mother down anymore.
Seeing that Zhu Zimo finally agreed, Leng Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After taking a few deep breaths, I felt that the injured part of my chest was not so painful, and Leng Qing spoke: "I can marry you, but you must promise me a few things first." β
She Leng Qing is not so stupid as to really sell herself and help others count the money upside down! She is very good at this kind of thing to prepare for a rainy day.
"What conditions, say. At this time, Zhu Zimo had long lost his previous momentum, and the whole person was paralyzed on the chair as if he had collapsed, and the words he said were weak.
It seemed that she didn't expect Zhu Zimo's attitude to be so good, Leng Qing was stunned for a while, but then she didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and said the few conditions she thought of on the way from Nuanxiang Pavilion to Hanyuan.
After listening to Leng Qing's conditions, Zhu Zimo replied to Leng Qing without even blinking his eyelids: "Okay, I promise you what you say." β
I didn't expect Zhu Zimo to agree so simply, Leng Qing couldn't help but be stunned.
Immediately, he was a little uneasy, afraid that Zhu Zimo would break the contract at that time, so Leng Qing added: "There is no evidence, and you must make a written note." β
Leng Qing is also a dignified general manager, no matter what he talks about, he still signs a contract that is the most reliable.
Zhu Zimo was stunned at this time, he couldn't guess what the woman in front of him was thinking.
Did she think he wanted to marry her or something? As she said, he promised to marry her only for his mother's sake, nothing more.
"Do you have a document?!" Leng Qing was anxious, he didn't see anything, and now he wanted to break the contract!
Zhu Zimo glanced at Leng Qing, who was a little anxious, and didn't speak, but took out a few pieces of white raft paper from the stack of books in the upper left corner of the bookcase by the faint candlelight of the lantern on the bookcase, and then reached out and took out a wolf hanging on the bookcase pen stand and held it in his hand, and then dipped it in ink before looking at Leng Qing: "Say it again." β
Very faint sound.
Leng Qing knew that Zhu Zimo was going to make a note, so she hurriedly restated: " Zhu Zimo and Leng Qing signed the following marriage contract: first, the two married only to make Zhu Zimo's biological mother happy, and there was no substantive marital relationship, that is, the two were only husband and wife in name and did not need to perform any responsibilities between husband and wife; second, because Leng Qing had no father, no mother and no home, there was no dowry brought into Zhu's mansion on the day of marriage, and the dowry was the responsibility of Zhu Zimo himself; third, when Zhu Zimo's biological mother died, the marriage relationship between Zhu Zimo and Leng Qing was automatically dissolved; fourth, after the marriage relationship was dissolved, Zhu Zimo needed to pay Leng Qing one hundred taels of silver as a reward, and the two had nothing to do with each other from now onγ β
Leng Qing carefully said word by word and then exhaled a long breath, the first three of these four conditions are to ensure that she will not be taken advantage of by Zhu Zimo, huh...... Maybe she's overthinking.
Fourth...... is to let her have the capital to survive independently after leaving the Zhu Mansion, and besides, one hundred taels of silver is simply a drizzle for a rich businessman like Zhu Zimo!
In modern times, when Leng Qing was idle and bored, he converted one tael of silver and iron into RMB in the 21st century in the Tang Dynasty, which was about 4,100 yuan, and one hundred taels of silver and iron was 410,000 yuan in the 21st century.
Of course, the premise is that the price of this time and space is the same as that of the Tang Dynasty......
"Fifth, within one month after the death of Zhu Zimo's biological mother, Leng Qing must stay in Zhu Mansion for Zhu Zimo's biological mother to wear linen and filial piety for one month, if Leng Qing leaves Zhu Mansion in the future, he cannot marry another one within three years, otherwise Leng Qing will lose the three thousand taels of silver on the contract. Just when Leng Qing relaxed, Zhu Zimo suddenly stopped his pen and looked down at the raft paper with many words written on the bookcase in front of him, and said so lightly.
"What!!" Leng Qing was stunned, not because of Zhu Zimo's sudden additional conditions, but because of Zhu Zimo's last sentence of "three thousand taels of silver".
Three thousand taels! If it is converted into RMB, she will also be a millionaire!
After being excited, Leng Qing felt that something was wrong, the contents of the contract had already been said, why did Zhu Zimo suddenly change one hundred taels to three thousand taels? Could it be some conspiracy?
Belch...... Forgive her for being so cautious, who called her a businessman too! As the saying goes, there is no traitor, no business, no business, she must be cautious, don't be really sold by someone and help sell her the number of money!
