Chen Qiuniang got straight to the point and asked the questions in her heart straightforwardly. She didn't think that Chen Liushi would definitely sue her, but for her, who was good at observing words and feelings, she could get the answer by just throwing out this question and seeing Chen Liu's reaction.

Sure enough, when Chen Liushi heard Chen Qiuniang ask this, his face was full of surprise that he couldn't hide, his face suddenly turned white, and he asked, "Who chewed the root of the tongue?" ”

Chen Qiuniang saw her reaction, and knew that the old lady with this body was really Mrs. Hua Rui, Fei Guifei, as for whether the father was Meng Chang, she was not sure.

"Grandma, do you really think someone is chewing on the root of their tongue?" Chen Qiuniang sighed, only feeling that Chen Liu's pedantic was useless.

Chen Liushi pursed her lips tightly, did not answer, lowered her head, a strand of white hair hung messily, and her tattered clothes made her more like a withered leaf in the wind.

Chen Qiuniang looked at her like this, and thought that she couldn't ask anything today, so she said, "Grandma, you can rest well." I'm going back to Liuhe Town. ”

"Qiu Niang." Chen Liushi suddenly raised his head and shouted, there was reluctance, pleading, and indescribable sadness in his eyes.

Chen Qiuniang was stunned, only to feel that this look was miserable and infiltrating.

"I'm here. Grandmother. Chen Qiuniang hurriedly replied.

Chen Liushi moved his lips and said, "Don't listen to anyone who chews the root of their tongue." You are the eldest granddaughter of my Chen family, and you have nothing to do with others. ”

Chen Qiuniang thought that Chen Liushi would tell her the truth of the matter. For example, why did Mrs. Hua Rui entrust her to Chen Liu's family when she was still in infancy; Chen Liu's family wants to keep some secrets, so that they refuse to admit that she is Fei Guifei's daughter; Moreover, what Chen Quanzhong has been using to threaten the Chen Liu family will bring destruction to the Chen family.

Since the encounter with Zhuxi Mountain, these questions have been vaguely gnawing in Chen Qiuniang's heart, making her feel very uncomfortable. Although these things don't seem to have much resistance to her goal of living a free life. But if she were ignorant of any of this, she might have met Madame Blossom's old acquaintances (enemies or friends) without knowing it, and would be in danger without being aware of it. If she knew in detail, she would have made other plans for possible dangers so that she could actually get rid of them.

But now, this qiē is full of loopholes. Chen Liu's secret couldn't be kept at all, and she still didn't say it. To be honest, Chen Qiuniang was really angry in the face of such a Chen Liu.

"Grandma, you're making a fool of yourself. Everyone knows that I'm not your own granddaughter. A little bit of Fei Guifei's countless people, when they see my face, they can know my life experience, who do you think can be hidden? Chen Qiuniang said word by word. Although she tried her best to restrain herself, she couldn't help but show a slight anger between her words, which burned her eyebrows, this Chen Liushi didn't have any eyesight, so she didn't say anything.

"Nonsense, you have nothing to do with Xiao Lian, who told you that you look alike with Xiao Lian?" Chen Liushi strenuously objected.

Chen Qiuniang could see that Chen Liu's was carrying it to deny, but in fact, her expression couldn't bear it anymore, and her whole person was already trembling. Chen Qiuniang sighed and said, "Grandma, I said it before. Our family can't hold on anymore. I have to make money. This is running outside, people come and go in Liuhe Town, it is inevitable that I will not meet Fei Guifei's old acquaintance, this old acquaintance is a friend, but I am afraid that it is an enemy-, I am not guarded at all. Grandma, do you have to see me strewn across the streets before you will go to my grave and say it? ”

Chen Liushi pursed his lips and stopped talking. Chen Qiuniang's purpose of going home this time has been achieved, and she doesn't dare to continue to ask, after all, Chen Liu's family is already a candle in the wind, maybe this person may go if he is in a hurry, angry, and can't mention it in one breath. So, she paused for a moment and said, "Grandma, let's not talk about that now, you can rest well, and when you think clearly and want to sue me, let's talk about it." ”

"What are you going to do?" Chen Liushi immediately asked, an inexplicable fear floating on his face.

"I don't do anything. The carriage was still waiting outside, there were many things in the hotel, and the study arranged by Jiang Gongzi was also in full swing, and he couldn't leave it behind for a day. I'm going to Liuhe Town. Chen Qiuniang said, her tone as calm and patient as possible.

"You're leaving?" Chen Liushi stared straight at Chen Qiuniang.

Chen Qiuniang nodded and said, "Yes." Leave for Liuhe Town immediately, otherwise it will be dark and the mountain road will be difficult to walk. Grandma is well raised, I have just told Brother Cheng, he will come to take care of you from time to time. I also paid for the consultation, and I will let the fourth grandfather bring back the food and clothing at home, grandma don't worry. ”

When Chen Liushi heard this, he didn't speak, just looked at Chen Qiuniang, and muddy tears rolled out of his eyes. was originally skinny and wrinkled with thousands of wrinkles on his face, but now these sunken eyes are rolling down tears, which makes people feel weird and sad. Somehow, Chen Qiuniang had an ominous premonition in her heart, as if she was going to say goodbye this time.

"Grandma, I'll come back to see you in two days." Chen Qiuniang's little anger disappeared just now, and she said in a calm tone.

"Really?" Chen Liushi was like a child.

Chen Qiuniang smiled and said, "Really." I can't fool anyone, I can't lie to my grandma. ”

Chen Liu's face was reluctant, but he still looked at the sun outside the door, and finally said: "You hurry up, otherwise it will be dark, it has just rained, this mountain road is not easy to walk." ”

"Hmm." Chen Qiuniang replied, and suddenly thought that Chen Liu's body was not very good, although the whole person was alive, but the soul seemed to be no longer in the world, her heart was sour, and when she left, she hugged Chen Liu's and said emotionally: "Grandma, the Shu Kingdom is dead, and the past and old things should not be remembered." In the past, you raised me and protected me, and in the future, you will leave everything down and leave it to me. I'm here to protect you and protect our family. ”

She spoke extremely lightly, for fear that she would be too excited and disturb Chen Liu's family. Chen Liushi was still so excited that he trembled, hugged her in his arms, and said, "Qiu Niang, do you blame me?" ”

When Chen Qiuniang heard this, she already understood that Chen Liu's family recognized that she was Fei Guifei's daughter. also knew the subtext of Chen Liu's sentence, but still refused to tell her a little bit of details and the reason for the matter.

"Grandma doesn't say it, there is a reason. However, I wish I could know that my grandmother would sue me personally. Chen Qiuniang was still lying in Chen Liu's arms.

Chen Liushi patted her lightly on the back and whispered, "Go ahead." Let me think about it. To be honest, in recent days, I have always dreamed of Xiao Pian. ”

"Hmm. Grandma, don't think too much. The good days of our family are coming, you have to take care of your body. In the future, it will be up to me to marry Qiusheng, Qiuxia, Qiuxi, and Qiushuang and have children, and I will be rich and rich. Chen Qiuniang advised.

Chen Liu nodded, and the grandfather and grandson glanced at each other. Chen Qiuniang turned around and went out with the curtain, and Chen Liu's face and eyes shaking in front of her made her heart very depressed. So before leaving, he told Chen Qiusheng and Chen Qiuxia to be filial to Chen Liu's family, looking at Chen Liu's situation, if there was anything abnormal, he immediately went to Liu Cheng or Ma Siye.

After Chen Qiuniang finished explaining, she got into the carriage and returned to Liuhe Town. It was already night when the carriage entered the back alley of the Yunlai Hotel, and the town was already lit up. Chen Qiuniang pulled up her cloak and got out of the car and entered the Chen family's house. Mrs. Chen was waiting anxiously in the courtyard, and when she saw Chen Qiuniang coming back, she grabbed her and said, "You can be regarded as coming back." Today, someone went to the night banquet of the wealthy family to book a banquet. Wen Zheng was afraid that Zhou Ming and them were not good enough, so he was so anxious that he came back to see a few times, and said that you would finally think about it. ”

"Okay." Chen Qiuniang patted Mrs. Chen's hand, which was considered comforting, and then went into the house to change into Jiang Danfeng's outfit and said to Xiaoqing: "Sister Xiaoqing and I should go." ”

Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, and then also picked up the beaten fruit wine and went to the wealthy banquet with Chen Qiuniang. The feasts of the wealthy are all private rooms, finely decorated, and there are many antiques and famous paintings, which are all contributed by those so-called owners. In the kitchen with a clean stove, Zhou Ming and Chen Mo were doing the final inspection, and Li Kai was still mixing a glass of mulberry peach wine.

When everyone saw Chen Qiuniang, they all respectfully stepped aside and shouted, "Jiang Gongzi is good." ”

"Everyone's done a great job. Today is the first time that you have prepared a banquet alone without my guidance, and you must have gained a lot, and you will discuss it again when you are free tomorrow. Chen Qiuniang said and walked to the side of the board, a dish, a dish to taste.

Although these dishes are not cooked enough, in just ten days, they can do this, and they can be regarded as manufacturable materials. Chen Qiuniang praised her as usual, and then made a simple small cake as a dessert, which made everyone serve an aperitif, followed by cold cuts and steamed vegetables, then boiled vegetables, stir-fried vegetables, and finally soup and dessert.

After finishing the dishes, Chen Qiuniang felt tired, so she left Xiaoqing over there to see the situation, and went back to the back house alone.

As soon as she pushed the door, Chen Wenzheng hurriedly strode out of the study and said, "Danfeng, come here, I have something to discuss with you." ”

Chen Qiuniang was stunned for a moment, looking at Chen Wenzheng's appearance, as if something had happened, she quickly followed.

"Look." Chen Wenzheng took out a mahogany box and opened it for Chen Qiuniang to see.

In the mahogany box was a box of gold and silver, and a small letter, which was written by Shengxuan, because it was folded, so the contents were not seen at once.

"What is this?" Chen Qiuniang looked up at Chen Wenzheng. She knew that although the hotel business was very good, it was impossible to gather so much wealth in a short period of time because of the large costs of early decoration and opening training.

"Someone sent it to buy shares." Chen Wenzheng said with a solemn face.

"Didn't you tell him that our shareholding has been closed, and all the outside stock trading has been sold?" Chen Qiuniang asked, and then looked at the box of gold and silver, as if it was inevitable for the major shareholders.

"I don't have time to say. The other party sent someone to send it, and this one was also sent. Chen Wenzheng opened a rectangular brocade box next to him.

Chen Qiuniang saw that there was a dagger inside. She looked at it and said, "This is just an ordinary dagger, and the other party is still threatening?" ”

Chen Wenzheng nodded and said, "That's what the other party means, it seems that he wants to forcibly buy shares." By the way, they sent this too. Chen Wenzheng said as he took out a smaller red velvet box from the small box where the dagger was placed, and opened the box, revealing a jade ring lying inside.

Chen Qiuniang recognized at a glance that the jade ring was a token of her and Zhu Wenkang's relatives, and it was also a token of the helmsman of the Zhu family.

"People from the Zhu family?" Chen Qiuniang gasped.

Chen Wenzheng didn't know that Chen Qiuniang and Zhu Wenkang had a marriage contract, and when Chen Qiuniang saw the jade ring, he knew that he was a member of the Zhu family, so he also knew that Chen Qiuniang had something to do with the Zhu family, so he said: "It's the Zhu family." ”

Zhu family! The largest household in Liuhe Town. If the Zhang family is a century-old general, convincing with its prestige, honor, and military exploits, then the Zhu family is known for its wealth and ruthlessness.

The Zhu family and the Zhang family are the two big families in Liuhe Town.

The reopening of the Yunlai Inn has made many people excited. Chen Qiuniang expected that as long as there were benefits and Zhu Wenkang, who had to intervene in everything, he would have taken action a long time ago, but unexpectedly, after opening for so many days, the Zhu family did not make any moves. At first, she secretly guessed that it was because Jiang Airlines complied with the original agreement to take a stake in Yunlai Hotel, and sent a flower basket plaque to congratulate on the opening day. Because Jiang Hang has always represented the entire Zhang family, Jiang Hang's actions show that the backer of Yunlai Hotel is the Zhang family. In Liuhe Town, the Zhu family and the Zhang family have always been distinct. As long as the Zhang family intervenes in the industry, the Zhu family will never touch it, and the two families do not have the slightest friendship.

However, now the other party blatantly came to the door and sent a jade ring. It can be seen that Zhu Wenkang is definitely not a straw bag in the eyes of the world, he must have seen the huge interests of Yunlai Inn, and has been observing whether Yunlai Hotel has anything to do with the Zhang family. This person must have mobilized the forces of all parties during this time, and finally proved that Jiang Hang's coming to Yunlai Inn to buy shares was a personal act, so he immediately took action. And in the process of this investigation, he actually found her. And the ring was sent here.

What does Zhu Wenkang mean? Chen Qiuniang had an ominous premonition, afraid that the days of smooth sailing would come to an end. Things are going to be tricky.

She suddenly felt even heavier in her heart, so she unfolded the page of the letter, only to see that it was very polite, but it was implied to threaten. It is to the effect that having the connections of their Zhu family's business in the north and south will make Yunlai Hotel all over the north and south of the river, if there is no them, Yunlai Hotel will not do well.

"I originally thought they wouldn't interfere with the Yunlai Hotel." Chen Qiuniang folded the letter and threw it into the box.

"I also think that if Commander Jiang had come, the Zhu family would not have come. This is the rule of Liuhe Town, Meizhou and Shuzhong. Chen Wenzheng said, but picked up a jade ring again, and said, "I don't know what this thing means, does Qiu Niang know?" ”RS
