Chapter 007, Negotiations
The new article seeks to be collected, and the recommendation vote is requested.
Zhou Zhilan did not return overnight, and Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Zhiqing were both up and down, and their hearts were not at peace.
The mother and daughter knew what Zhou Zhilan was going to do, but they didn't know what happened to Zhou Zhilan after such a long time.
Zhou Zhiqing reluctantly smiled and said to Mrs. Zhou: "There is no news of my sister, it is good news, I think that Chen Hanzheng is just an ordinary man, and the beauty is current, how can he resist the temptation/temptation?" ”
Mrs. Zhou glared at her and said, "It's not big or small, you are a girl, why are you full of nonsense?" Dare to talk nonsense, see if I don't slap your mouth? ”
If this matter does not come to fruition, Zhou Zhilan will not be able to live anymore, and it is strange that an innocent girl will have a reputation for seducing/seducing a man, and she will not sink into the pond. It's good for her, a boudoir woman, to say such things that don't blush, and she still dares to shout loudly?
Zhou Zhiqing stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to make any more noise.
The next day, a soldier came to deliver food, and Mrs. Zhou asked about Zhou Zhilan's situation, and the soldier only shook his head and impatiently dropped a sentence: "I don't know." ”
Later, I was annoyed by the question, so I simply didn't even say a word.
Mrs. Zhou became even more nervous, she thought, it must have been Zhilan who had an accident, otherwise it would be impossible to stay silent. But now I can't do it in a hurry, so I have to wait for Chen Hanzheng to give an explanation.
It wasn't until the third day that a soldier came over and said to Mrs. Zhou, "My lord asked Mrs. to come over and speak." ”
Zhou Zhiqing wanted to follow, but was stopped by the soldier and said, "The adult said that if the girl followed on Tuesday, he would regret it." Zhou Zhi stomped her feet angrily, and had to watch them take Mrs. Zhou away, scolding Chen Hanzheng in her heart, and greeting his ancestors one by one.
As soon as Mrs. Zhou entered the door, she saw Zhou Zhilan, whose head was wrapped in a white cloth and the blood stains had dried up.
Zhou Zhilan closed her eyes tightly and said nothing, letting the cold tears fall and wet the hair on her sideburns.
Chen Hanzheng coughed on the side and said, "I invite Mrs. Zhou to come and discuss something." ”
Mrs. Zhou had no choice but to raise her teary eyes, looked at the young man in front of her, who was obviously very familiar but extremely unfamiliar, endured the grief in her heart, and said, "Master Chen has something to say. ”
Chen Hanzheng felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, knowing that he had been calculated, but the current situation was not a solution to the problem, although the timing was wrong. He said coldly: "Miss Zhou has dissolved the marriage contract with Zaixia, and I have come to ask Mrs. Zhou to be a witness." ”
"What? Dissolution, dissolution, marriage contract? Mrs. Zhou looked at Zhou Zhilan and almost fainted. Silly girl, my mother tried her best to call you here to dissolve your marriage? Why are you so stupid? What good does it do you to break off your engagement? Isn't this a missed opportunity to save yourself?
Mrs. Zhou bit her lip, and saw that Zhou Zhilan's face was like ashes, and she looked lifeless, and she hated it to the extreme, but she could only say in a dumb voice: "That's it, that's it." Dare to ask Lord Chen, Lan'er didn't return overnight, did she keep getting along with adults all night? ”
Chen Hanzheng was so well cultivated, he almost jumped up and scolded, the word shameless reached the tip of his tongue, and he swallowed it hard, and said in his heart: Didn't you have a plan that your shameless mother and daughter had already made to lure me into the urn? What is this called?
He endured and endured before he said: "Miss Zhou fainted, I called someone to hire a doctor, and she has been taken care of by the maid since then." "He had to get rid of himself, otherwise what would he do if he broke the engagement?
Mrs. Zhou sneered, stroked Zhou Zhilan's exposed skin with her hand, and said, "Lord Chen, dare to swear poison?" ”
"I ......"
Chen Hanzheng was dumb and couldn't say what he was suffering, he said angrily: "If Madam doesn't believe it, just ask your own daughter, I think I'm doing what I do, and I haven't been a little abrupt with Miss Zhou." ”
Mrs. Zhou pinched Zhou Zhilan and cried: "Lan'er, if you speak, your mother is desperate for her life, and she wants to seek justice for you." ”
Zhou Zhilan was in pain, but refused to give in, and only said: "Mother doesn't need to ask again." ”
"How can you not ask? You're a good girl, but it's not in good clothes, and now it's just you and ...... in this house I don't want to ask me to understand, how are you going to behave in the future? ”
Zhou Zhilan smiled bitterly, the tears were like beads with broken threads, and said, "Mother, why do you have to be strong." ”
Mrs. Zhou said: "What is difficult for a strong man? How important is the girl's reputation? How can you fool the past in such a vague way? ”
Mrs. Zhou cried and screamed, only for Zhou Zhilan.
Chen Hanzheng said: "What does Mrs. Zhou want?" ”
Mrs. Zhou said: "I am an innocent daughter, I can't just forget it, the little woman has no power and power, and she doesn't dare to seek justice with adults, but it depends on how the adults are?" ”
Chen Hanzheng gritted his teeth and said, "Madam, don't forget, I have already dissolved the marriage contract with Miss Zhou." "Anyway, he won't marry her. Looking at Mrs. Zhou's hypocritical and sad face, Chen Hanzheng blurted out: "Of course, if Miss Zhou has to commit herself to me, it is not impossible, unless you, Zhou Zhilan, are willing to be a concubine." ”
Mrs. Zhou was stunned: "You, what did you say?" ”
To do, to be a concubine? She is a good girl, both talented and beautiful, with both ability and political integrity, who to be the head lady, it is all something that the person can't ask for, and now she can only commit herself to him as a concubine? How dare he? How could he?
Mrs. Zhou jumped up and said, "No." This is a great insult to the Zhou family and to Zhou Zhilan. A good girl's family, not to mention the dissolution of the marriage contract, and the wife turned into a concubine, how can she be so deceitful?
Mrs. Zhou was full of pain and was extremely impatient, and she really wanted to point at Chen Hanzheng's nose and scold, is he a human being? Is there a conscience? Where did the Zhou family treat him badly in the past, and he wants to repay him like this?
But Zhou Zhilan dragged her to death and didn't allow her to speak
Chen Hanzheng spread his hands and said: "Even so, Chen can't help it, Miss Zhou's injury is not serious, Mrs. Zhou should take care of it." He lifted his feet to leave.
Mrs. Zhou was anxious: "Wait." "How could he just go? Without this, who will be responsible for Zhou Zhilan?
Zhou Zhilan opened her eyes and said emptyly: "I am willing." ”
There was a sudden silence in the room.
Chen Hanzheng was the first to reflect and said indifferently: "That's good." ”
I didn't have an explanation, so I walked away.
Mrs. Zhou hugged Zhou Zhilan and cried out suppressedly: "My poor Lan'er, it's a mother's ghost, you shouldn't have such an idea, now that you are like this, how can you make your mother live?" ”
Zhou Zhilan remained motionless.
She wanted to die, but God didn't follow people's wishes, she didn't die, and she was humiliated and ridiculed in vain. Since he is not dead, it is the same everywhere. Now that Chen Hanzheng has replaced his father's official position, and he is in control of his father's life and death, instead of committing himself to others to ask someone to save his father, it is better to commit himself to him, and it may be easier to ask him to raise his noble hand.
The matter has come to this point, and it is useless for Mrs. Zhou to regret it.
In the evening, Chen Hanzheng ordered someone to carry a small sedan chair and directly picked up Zhou Zhilan, which was regarded as accepting her as a concubine.
