Chapter 137: Someone Came Late at Night
The setting sun crashes into the mountains, leaving behind a vast expanse of magnificent clouds in the sky.
Chen Qiuniang was thrown out of Zhang's mansion by Zhang Ci and fell with a limp. She couldn't climb the cliff anymore like this, and went back the way she came. had to turn around and walk through the remote alleys in the town, and it was not until the evening when the light was unclear that she went around to the backyard alley of the Chen family's old house, and when people were not paying attention, she climbed over the wall and entered.
Jumping into the courtyard, the courtyard of the Chen family, which had few subordinates, looked even more desolate in the dim and unknown light. However, Chen Qiuniang jumped into the hospital and paused. Because she went down, she was greeted by a big black dog, with wide eyes and a tongue sticking out, looking at it very seriously. Only then did Chen Qiuniang think that this was Pan Qing's dog, and Xiang Yu's horse had the same name, called Wu Qi. It is said to be extremely vicious, and once tore off a piece of the calf meat of a thief who fell into the courtyard.
At this moment, Chen Qiuniang suddenly regretted it incomparably, she regretted that she didn't take the time to meet with Wu Qi and build a good relationship.
Fortunately, Wu Qi just sat under the jujube tree, looking at her, without screaming or moving, without the slightest intention of pounced. Chen Qiuniang breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart still hung in the air.
She remembered that there was still a meat bun in the bag, so she slowly reached in and touched it, shook it in front of Wu Qi, and said, "I'm my own family, don't scream, don't bite, eat a bun first, and I'll make something for you to eat in a while." Make sure you are the most stylish dog in this time and space, I will personally help you make dog food, simmering chicken soup with ground beef, and fried into ham sausage with minced fish and rice noodles. β
Wu Xiao still didn't move, just looked at her with her tongue hanging on. Chen Qiuniang handed over the bun and put it in front of Wu Hu, who lowered his head and sniffed it, and put the bun in his mouth.
Chen Qiuniang slowly stood up, looking at Wu Qi's appearance, as if she didn't have time to pay attention to her. She watched the black horse's movements as she moved. Finally, he finally moved to the gate of the courtyard, and Wu Hu finished eating the buns, looked up at her, and then wagged his tail.
I'm going, it's too unethical, a bun is done, no wonder there are people coming and going in this courtyard, this dog has never barked, and it used to tear off a piece of the thief's skin, and the thief didn't bring bribes. When Chen Qiuniang saw Wu Qi's tail wagging behavior, a hanging heart suddenly fell, and she despised Wu Xiao in her heart, and then quickly slipped to her room.
Chen Qiuniang took a bath, took medicine, changed her clothes, ate the food that Xiaoqing brought back from the wealthy feast, and went to bed early. In fact, Chen Qiuniang's sleep has not been good, even if she is very tired today, she still can't sleep deeply. Therefore, when Zhu Wencai appeared in her room here, she was completely awake.
It's just that she didn't know who was coming at that time, so she clenched the dagger and lay quietly on the bed, waiting for the person to make a move. The man came to her bedside and whispered, "Miss Chen, Miss Chen." β
Chen Qiuniang was very sensitive to voice, and she immediately heard that it was Zhu Wencai, but she didn't speak immediately. Zhu Wencai shouted a few more times, and when he saw that she didn't move, he muttered to himself: Didn't you say that she didn't sleep well? Sleeping so soundly?
Now it was Chen Qiuniang's turn to beat the drum in her heart, and she began to wonder what Zhu Wencai meant by this sentence. Who told Zhu Wencai that she didn't sleep well? She remembered that she didn't sleep well, even Chen Liu's and Chen Qiusheng didn't know it, let alone Panqing, Xiaoqing, Chen Wenzheng, and Mrs. Chen, even if other people knew her, the relationship would not be good enough for people to know that she was a light sleeper.
"Miss Chen?" Zhu Wencai shouted a few more times, and saw that Chen Qiuniang didn't move, so he reached out and pushed her.
Chen Qiuniang said angrily and said, "I said Zhu Gongzi, why are you here again in the middle of the night?" β
"Ah, so you're awake." Zhu Wencai didn't answer the question, pulled the stool next to him and sat down, and said, "I wanted to ask you how you thought about it." β
"Don't you bother, I told you a long time ago that we can't cooperate." Chen Qiuniang turned over and stood up, hugging the quilt and said impatiently.
Zhu Wencai ignored Chen Qiuniang's attitude and continued to promote himself. What to say is that he is the most talented and intelligent of the Zhu family's generation. Since childhood, yes.
"But your father is not the eldest son, and you are not the eldest grandson. It's not your turn to inherit anything. Chen Qiuniang held her cheeks and slapped him lazily.
"It doesn't matter. If it weren't for Zhu Wenkang killing his grandfather, it wouldn't be necessarily. Zhu Wencai emphasized.
Chen Qiuniang sneered and said, "You can't even see your status and role clearly, you still want to come and cooperate with me?" I sue you, whether your grandfather died or not, or whether Zhu Wenkang killed him or not, the heir has already been decided. You will be reincarnated a few times, but it will not be your turn. β
"You don't know anything about the Zhu family." Zhu Wencai is still sparing no effort to persuade Chen Qiuniang.
"I understand people's hearts, understand the importance of rules for a family to inherit." Chen Qiuniang said. Although she is a science student and doesn't know much about history, she still has a lot of research on people's hearts and human nature.
"You don't know me." Zhu Wencai continued, which made people feel more annoying than the first conversation.
Chen Qiuniang sighed and said, "Don't say it, you answer me a few questions, and then I'll tell you a few more questions." After listening to it, you still think that you can be my partner, and if I have the necessary cooperation with you, let's talk about it. β
"Girl, please speak." Zhu Wencai got up in a crepe and made a gesture.
Chen Qiuniang almost wanted to beat up this kind of person who didn't know the height of the sky, but she still held back and said, "First of all, what kind of person do you think Zhu Wenkang is?" β
"Him. He is the eldest grandson, he has not learned since he was a child, he is domineering, fierce, and ruthless. But to say that the wisdom of strategy is really not as good as mine. Zhu Wencai promoted himself again.
Chen Qiuniang ignored his sales pitch and asked again: "Then how does he compare with those uncles and uncles of yours?" β
"He's just a fierce and evil prodigal son, how can he compare to my uncles and uncles. If he had the slightest ability to provoke the pillars of the family, how could my uncles and uncles oppose him. Zhu Wencai replied immediately.
Chen Qiuniang said "um" and agreed, and then said a cruel truth: "But in this duel, he won, and you lost completely." β
Zhu Wencai had nothing to say this time, but Chen Qiuniang continued to ask: "Do you know why you lost?" β
"We, we're just oversight, if he doesn't have the ring in his hand." Zhu Wencai's heart has been defeated like a mountain, and his tongue is still hard.
Chen Qiuniang shook her head and said, "You know, without that ring, you wouldn't win." β
Zhu Wenkang was silent this time. Chen Qiuniang continued to hit him, saying, "Do you know why? Because Zhu Wenkang is the heir of this generation chosen by the forces behind your family. No matter how elaborate your plan is, it is nothing to mention in front of the forces behind your family. Do you understand? Because Zhu Wenkang is the heir, he has long been surrounded by capable people who have been planted by the forces behind the Zhu family. Do you think he's really good men? β
"You mean Nienu?" Zhu Wencai lowered his voice and exclaimed.
"I didn't say anything. Besides, it's more than a slave. Zhu Gongzi, do you now understand why Zhu Wenkang, whom you look down on, can destroy your uncles and uncles who are like old foxes? Since then, do you think you can still compete with him and regain the old mountains and rivers? The chances of you being able to save your father are almost nil. Chen Qiuniang hit Zhu Wencai mercilessly.
In the faint light, Zhu Wencai was instantly defeated, and the whole person seemed to be a little shorter. Chen Qiuniang continued: "You also said last time that the force behind the Zhu family may be the imperial court. So, in such a situation, why should I oppose being the head of the Zhu family. You're really naΓ―ve. β
Zhu Wencai was silent, his breathing was disordered, and he seemed to be crying silently. Chen Qiuniang sighed and said, "You didn't even understand what kind of situation you yourself are, so you rashly came to find someone you didn't know what you thought about to cooperate." If you weren't sent by Zhu Wenkang to test my sincerity, then you are really pitiful and ridiculous. β
"I don't care about the property status of the Zhu family or anything, I just want to rescue my father." Zhu Wencai's tone became excited.
Chen Qiuniang shook her head and said, "Your father was made an adult, he can't live, and the last thing he wants is for you to save him." β
"How can you see death and not save your parents." Zhu Wencai's voice was full of sadness.
"This thing is clearly a trap, waiting for you to fall into the net. However, how can a woman of her own watch her parents die? Therefore, choose to bear the unbearable suffering of ordinary people, lie dormant and wait for an opportunity to take revenge, or go to Huangquan with your parents, Zhu Gongzi, you can handle it yourself. I'm an outsider, so I can't say much. Okay, you go, I'm not going to work with you. Chen Qiuniang waved her hand.
"Do you have to marry him?" Zhu Wencai wiped his tears and asked.
"Yes, I dream of being the head of the Zhu family." Chen Qiuniang smiled.
"Aren't you afraid that if you persuade me now, I will kill him in the future, and you will be widowed at a young age?" Zhu Wencai asked.
Chen Qiuniang smiled. He said, "Feel free." Maybe you kill him, and the Zhu family is my master. You know that with my ability and heart, the court will not reject me. β
"You really don't cooperate with me?" Zhu Wencai asked again.
"Nope." Chen Qiuniang waved her hand, and then asked again, "Maybe if you sue me and whoever tells you that I have a light sleep, I will tell you how you managed to rescue your father." β
"Nobody said that, you heard me wrong." Zhu Wencai was shocked and said immediately.
This man is a bad liar. From this point of view, when he came to her to talk about cooperation, someone must have guided him. It's a pity that this person is too weak, and the cooperation can only be a pig teammate type. He Chen Qiuniang would not choose this kind of person as an ally if he was killed. What's more, after Zhang Ci refused to make a move, the only person she could trust and rely on was herself.
"Oh, you're boring. I've heard it all, and you're still quibbling. Okay, you speed up. Otherwise, I'll let the dog go. Chen Qiuniang said.
"Do you have a dog at home? I don't see it every time. Zhu Wencai asked, and one sentence beat Wu Qi's professional ethics to the fullest.
"You go, don't show up again. Tell him to get out of here. Chen Qiuniang waved her hand and kept driving him away. Zhu Wencai had no intention of moving his steps.
"What's wrong? Do you want me to beat gongs and drums and ask you to leave? Chen Qiuniang asked impatiently.
"If I sue you who asked me to come, can you really sue me how to save my father?" Zhu Wencai hesitated for a while before asking.
"Of course." Chen Qiuniang replied. She really wanted to hear this answer, and she also wanted to know what the purpose of this Zhu Wencai came and went, and what were the intentions of the people behind him.
Is the fox's tail about to be revealed? Chen Qiuniang was a little happy in her heart, and couldn't help but say to herself in her heart: "Come on, come on, let me see your dirty traps, do you think that I, a nine-year-old girl, can be at your mercy?" βRS
