So in the past two years, he has been deliberately ignoring the children.

He didn't fulfill his responsibilities as a father for a day.

Thinking of such a small life leaving like this, Ke Tianlin felt guilty and regretful in his heart.

Thinking about him now, it is impossible for him to have children in the future, and then thinking about the death of Ji Yanran, Ke Tianlin's heart regretted it a little for the first time.

But it was only a moment's effort, and Ke Tianlin's heart hardened again.

The sacrifices he made to get to where he is today are too great.

He must stand at the highest point and make the Ke family the richest merchant in the ancient Zhou Kingdom.

Zhao Canniang and Mrs. Ji of the Qin family looked at Xian'er, and everyone was happy in their hearts.

Qin looked at Zhao Canniang and said, "The child seems to be quite clingy to you." ”

Zhao Canniang nodded and smiled: "He believes me!" The poor child doesn't know how much he has suffered, and in the future, the child's surname will be Ji, and he will say to the outside world that the adopted child will not suspect that he has come here. Xian'er Ke Tianlin hasn't seen it either, even if it's face-to-face, he won't know each other, godmother, the child has been with me in the past few days! I think he still seems to be a little distrustful of people outside. ”

When Mrs. Ji stepped forward to hold the child just now, she already felt that the child was abnormal, and Mrs. Ji, who did not hesitate, nodded.

"Canniang said to do whatever she wanted, as long as I can see the child from time to time, I also know that this matter is not in a hurry, take your time, he will always accept us."

Zhao Canniang looked at Xian'er with a smile and said with emotion: "Xian'er looks very much like Sister Ji, especially a pair of eyes, Godmother remembers that if someone asks, she will say that she is a child who was adopted from Zhuangzi." Also, don't tell Hyuna about his background, at least not for now. Let's wait until he grows up in the future! ”

Because when it comes to Ji Yanran, she must talk about Ke Tianlin, and now Ke Tianlin has become a little terrifying. Zhao Canniang didn't want anything to affect the child.

"I know, your godfather didn't know that the child was back, and if he knew, he wouldn't know how happy he would be."

In the evening, Zhao Qingfeng and Ji Zhifu came back, and when the two saw the child, they were overjoyed, and the family was eating on the table, and Xian'er was happy.

He had never experienced such warmth, and it turned out that it was not without people who loved him.

Zhao Canniang told him that it was because he was deceived when he was a child. So I haven't found him, but now that I have found him, I will treat him well in the future.

Time passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was the end of the year.

The news from the dart bureau was safe, and Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu were relieved.

Zhao Canniang has been counting the time with her fingers every day in the past few days, and she is very nervous when she sees that she is going to give birth in more than ten days.

Snowflakes were falling in the sky outside, and Hyun-a sat in the room scribbling on paper with a brush.

I don't know if I inherited Ji Yanran's hobby, Xian'er likes to paint very much. After seeing the pen and ink for the first time, I like to tinker with it every day, and Zhao Canniang is also happy to see Xian'er like this.

Seeing Xian'er, I always feel that Xian'er has a maturity that is not found in children of the same age.

Zhao Canniang walked into the house from the corridor.

There were still a few snowflakes floating on my shoulders.

"Godmother, come and see the painting drawn by Xian'er." Xian'er shouted with a smile at Zhao Canniang.

Xian'er has been a lot more cheerful recently, and the child is simple. Zhao Canniang deliberately guided the happy things again, Xian'er no longer thinks about the unhappy things in the past, and there are fewer and fewer things in the Zhuangzi in front of Zhao Canniang.

Zhao Canniang walked in front of Xian'er. Looking at the large clumps of ink on the rice paper, there are still a few lines outlined. I really can't understand what the painting is.

Looking down at Xian'er's big shining eyes, Zhao Canniang couldn't help but touch Xian'er's head and asked dotingly, "What did Xian'er draw?" ”

Xian'er said proudly: "Godmother, I paint flowers and clouds. You see here are the flowers, here are the clouds. ”

Hyuna explained, pointing to a few simple lines.

Zhao Canniang looked at it for a long time, and finally saw a little bit of clouds and flowers.

Children all need encouragement, Zhao Canniang touched Xian'er's head and said: "Xian'er is good, painting is getting more and more progressive, and my godmother will send you to a private school next year." ”

Xian'er nodded: "I want to go to a private school." ”

Mrs. Chen walked into the house with the maid at this time.

looked at Zhao Canniang and Xian'er, and walked over.

"Xian'er is painting again!" Mrs. Chen asked with a smile.

Xian'er climbed down from the stool and ran to Mrs. Chen: "Grandma Chen, you're here, Xian'er hasn't seen you for two days, I miss you so much." ”

Mrs. Chen looked at Xian'er dotingly, hugged Xian'er, and said with a smile: "Xian'er's mouth is so sweet, but grandma likes it very much, Xian'er is about to celebrate the New Year, just tell grandma what you want, grandma will satisfy you." ”

Xian'er blinked, thought for a while, and finally said, "I want candy, and when my godmother gives birth to my sister, I can give it to my sister." ”

This is the first time Xian'er said that the child in Zhao Canniang's belly is her sister.

Mrs. Chen knew that Tong Yan was sometimes very accurate, especially for children under the age of three.

Holding Xian'er and sitting on the chair, Mrs. Chen asked with a smile, "How does Xian'er know that the godmother is carrying her sister in her belly?" ”

Xian'er thought about it, thought deeply, and finally said: "Xian'er just knows, Xian'er just knows that the godmother's belly is a sister." ”

The smile on Mrs. Chen's face was even worse.

"Xian'er is good, Xian'er is going to play with the Trojan horse, grandma has something to say to your godmother."

Xian'er got off Madame Chen and ran towards the Trojan Horse.

Zhao Canniang had been standing on the side and watching the two just now, and at this time, when she heard Mrs. Chen say that she was looking for her, she sat on the chair next to Mrs. Chen.

"What's the matter with my mother?"

Mrs. Chen looked at Zhao Canniang's belly, smiled and said, "If what Xian'er said is true, it is a girl, I am also happy, and the child's words are very accurate." ”

After Mrs. Chen finished speaking, Zhao Canniang's hand involuntarily touched her stomach.

"It's the same whether it's a son or a girl."

Mrs. Chen continued: "Isn't it almost the Chinese New Year? There are still some things that have not been dealt with in the Zhuangzi, and I am busy dealing with the things above the Zhuangzi every day. I don't have time to deal with things at home, so I'm free today. So come and see, how do you want to spend this Chinese New Year? ”

Zhao Canniang thought about it. Finally, he said, "I don't know yet!" I don't think it's going to be a big deal this year, just like usual. ”

Mrs. Chen originally came to listen to Zhao Canniang's opinion.

Hearing Zhao Canniang say this, she didn't continue the topic anymore.

"By the way, your grandmother sent someone yesterday, saying that she asked you to come over tomorrow."

Zhao Canniang couldn't help frowning: "What did they ask me to do?" ”

After Zhao Canniang threatened the Lai family, the Liu family and Qin Xue like that last time, the three of them quieted down and never made any trouble.

It's just like that......

Zhao Canniang felt that things were not simple.

When Mrs. Chen chatted with the Qin family, she knew what happened to Zhao Canniang and Lai's family, and she was also a little angry in her heart, especially when she heard that Liu treated Zhao Canniang like that, she was even more unhappy for Zhao Canniang.

They are all people who have come from that step. Mrs. Chen knew how painful that feeling was, and she also felt that it was excusable for Zhao Canniang to say those cruel words.

When Mrs. Chen heard Zhao Canniang's question, she shook her head: "I don't know what the matter is, I'll ask someone to inquire later, if you don't want to push it." ”

Zhao Canniang thought about it, she now has a child in her belly, and she is about to give birth again, so it is really inconvenient to walk around.

"Mother, you sent someone to refuse, just say that I have a big belly now and it is inconvenient to move around. Plus the snow ....... ”

Mrs. Chen nodded: "Well, you don't have to think about this matter, I will send someone to refuse for you later, by the way, I met a distant relative that day, her son died last year, and now she is looking for a suitable person." The family's family conditions are quite good, so I thought if I should tell your cousin? ”

Mrs. Chen also knew Qin Xue's virtues.

dreamed of marrying a rich man, and Mrs. Chen was also a little unhappy in her heart. But thinking that if Qin Xue didn't get married, she always thought about Zhao Canniang and Zhao Qingfeng. She was not at ease either.

Zhao Canniang shook her head directly after hearing this: "Mother, I think it's better to forget it, don't say anything else." As far as my aunt and uncle, do you think that if Qin Xue marries, then the distant relatives are afraid that they will not be restless from now on, mother, you still help me inquire about what has happened in the Qin family recently. ”

Qin Zhong went to the field half a month ago, and now Qin Daxiong is in charge of the Qin family, and there are two shopkeepers in front to help, but there is nothing to do.

After all, Qin Daxiong doesn't need to call the shots in big and small matters, Qin Daxiong just has a good name.

Liu's prejudice against her has been deeply rooted, and Zhao Canniang knows that that prejudice cannot be eliminated over time.

Anyway, now that she is living a comfortable life, she doesn't want to think too much.

"Mother, the fifth sister's family affairs are coming soon!"

Zhao Canniang thought of Chen Yunluo, the naïve fifth sister.

Mrs. Chen smiled: "You still remember Yunluo, that girl's family affairs are fast, the matchmaker has recently talked about a few family affairs, I just want her to find someone who knows cold and hot, our Chen family has a lot of dowry, and she will not lack silver at that time, but that girl is very wild, I am worried that she will suffer at that time." ”

Chen Yunluo was only twelve years old, and Zhao Canniang thought that she was too wild at that time, but since she got married and conceived a child, she was unconsciously gentle.

"Mother, don't worry too much, just wait for a little older."

As he spoke, Blue Butterfly hurried in.

"Madame, something's wrong."

Blue Butterfly's face was full of worry, and her face was also scared.

Zhao Canniang immediately stood up and asked anxiously, "You tell me slowly what happened." ”

Lan Die said cautiously: "It's my uncle, something happened to my uncle." ”

As soon as she heard her uncle, Zhao Canniang's heart lifted.

"Tell me what happened."

Mrs. Chen was afraid that something was wrong with Zhao Canniang's anxiety, and she also yelled at Lan Die: "Calm down, tell what happened." ”

"Uncle was beaten just now."

"What!"

Zhao Canniang exclaimed in surprise: "Who hit my brother?" ”

Lan Die shook her head: "I don't know, I heard the porter say that it was the Zhao family's maid who came to bring a message." said that his aunt was beaten, and his wife didn't know what to do. I had to call someone to tell you. ”

Qin is not a person who does not know proportion, she knows that Zhao Canniang is pregnant. is about to give birth to a child, if something big hadn't happened, he would definitely not have come over to Zhao Canniang in a hurry.

"Prepare the carriage and we'll go over and have a look." It was Mrs. Chen who spoke.

Xian'er heard Lan Die's words and hurriedly ran over: "What happened to Uncle Godmother?" ”

Zhao Canniang touched Xian'er's head and said, "Xian'er, you are obediently waiting at home, if your godfather comes back, you will tell him that we are going to your uncle's house, this task is handed over to you, you must do it well." ”

Zhao Canniang didn't want to take Xian'er with her, so she thought of this method. Xian'er is very sensitive now, and Zhao Canniang doesn't want to make such a long effort to fall short.

Blue Butterfly had already gone out to prepare the carriage, and Zhao Canniang and Mrs. Chen walked out the door.

Sitting in the carriage, the groom walked slowly.

There is snow on the ground, so you can't walk fast if you want to.

Fortunately, it didn't take long to arrive at the Zhao Mansion.

As soon as I got out of the carriage, I saw doctors carrying medicine boxes walking into the courtyard.

Zhao Canniang's heart lifted.

Walking hand in hand with Mrs. Chen, he walked into the courtyard.

The maid immediately took Zhao Canniang and Mrs. Chen to the courtyard where Zhao Qingfeng lived.

Outside Zhao Qingfeng's door, several doctors gathered together to discuss something, Zhao Canniang hurriedly walked into the house, but saw Chen holding the child and crying.

Qin's eyes were also red, and Mrs. Ji was quite calm. At this time, it was Mrs. Ji who was in charge of the overall situation.

"Canniang, you're here."

Qin walked in front of Zhao Canniang, and the tears in his eyes were about to fall.

"Mother, what happened, you say slowly."

Zhao Canniang was also very worried, but Huang was blocked by the screen. I can't see what's behind the screen either.

Qin sighed and said a little sadly: "I don't know what's going on, it's just that your brother was sent back covered in blood." Your brother was wounded in the head and is still unconscious. I was worried, so I brought all the doctors in the city. ”

Zhao Canniang heard this. wanted to go in to see, but was stopped by Mrs. Chen: "I'll go in and take a look, you are about to give birth and you can't see blood." ”

Reminded by Mrs. Chen, the Qin family also thought of this, and hurriedly said: "Mrs. Chen is right, Canniang, you just wait outside!" I'm sure your brother will be fine. ”

Zhao Canniang's heart was as uncomfortable as a cat scratch.

"Mother, who sent my brother back?"

Calm down, what Zhao Canniang is thinking about now is to find out who attacked Zhao Qingfeng.

Chen on the side said at this time: "I know the person who sent Qingfeng back, who brought the rice shop. I don't know the other one. ”

When Zhao Canniang heard this, she asked, "Are the two people who sent my brother back gone?" ”

Chen nodded: "Let's go, saying that there is still something to be busy, they are delivering goods and passing by the alley and saw my brother lying in the snow, covered in blood, so they sent it back, and the two of them had to go back to work and left." ”

Zhao Canniang didn't hesitate when she heard this, and said to the Qin family: "Mother, don't worry, my brother won't be fine, I'll go ask the two guys who sent my brother back now to see if there are any clues." ”

The Qin family grabbed Zhao Canniang: "Canniang, you better not go to this matter, leave it to Zhongqiu, you are still pregnant with a child." ”

Zhao Canniang shook her head directly when she heard this: "No, if I don't find the murderer in this matter, I will feel uneasy, you can rest assured that I will protect myself, and I will take two family members to follow." ”

After Zhao Canniang finished speaking, she walked out.

called two Chen family members to follow, and Zhao Canniang went to Yunlai Rice Shop.

It is not far from the rice shop to be transported and it is there after crossing two main streets.

The carriage went slowly, and the two servants followed.

In the car, Zhao Canniang kept thinking about who hurt Zhao Qingfeng, Zhao Qingfeng is usually kind and kind, and he didn't make any enemies outside, unless someone in the business was not used to it, otherwise the innocent and hateless people outside would not think about attacking Zhao Qingfeng, or Ke Tianlin? ”

Zhao Canniang suddenly thought of Ke Tianlin.

It's no wonder that Zhao Canniang thinks too much, it's really their biggest enemy now that Ke Tianlin is.

The carriage stopped at this point.

Zhao Canniang cautiously got out of the carriage.

Walking into the Yunlai rice shop, the shopkeeper walked out at once.

There are few people who do business in Baiyun County who don't know Zhao Canniang.

"What is the matter with Mrs. Chen here?"

The shopkeeper usually has a good relationship with the Chen family, and they also take care of each other.

Zhao Canniang said with a smile: "My brother's shopkeeper should know about it!" ”

The shopkeeper nodded: "The guy came back just now and said." I was saying that I would go to the house to see Zhao Gongzi after the door closed, I don't know how Zhao Gongzi is? ”

Zhao Canniang shook her head helplessly: "I haven't woken up yet." I wanted to ask for some details, I wonder if the guy who sent my brother back just now is in the store? ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly said, "Young lady, please." I called someone. ”

Zhao Canniang nodded gratefully and followed the shopkeeper into the inner hall.

Sitting on the chair, Zhao Canniang waited slowly.

The shopkeeper came in with two young men in a moment.

The two young men were still stained with blood on their clothes.

Zhao Canniang looked at the shocking red color and felt a little uncomfortable.

"I brought it to you, young lady, it was the two of them who saw Zhao Gongzi and sent Zhao Gongzi home."

Zhao Canniang thanked the shopkeeper very gratefully, then looked at the two guys, and said gratefully: "Thank you two for today's matter." ”

The two men shook their heads hurriedly.

One of them hurriedly said: "The shopkeeper said just now, the young lady wants to stop the medicine at that time!" ”

Zhao Canniang nodded: "I want to know what happened at that time, how did you find out about my brother?" ”

The guy thought for a moment and said, "I'm the shopkeeper who told me to deliver rice to others." I sent rice back with Xiaoshan, when I passed by Tongfu Lane, I saw two men beating Zhao Gongzi with sticks, at first we didn't see who it was, so we thought that more things are better than less things, and wanted to avoid them, but I didn't expect to find out that it was Zhao Gongzi later, so we shouted a few words, and the two men dropped their sticks and fled to the street outside. We sent Zhao Gongzi to Zhao Mansion at this time. ”

Zhao Canniang listened carefully to the guy's words, but she was pondering this matter in her heart.

"Did you see the two men look at each other? Or remember a little bit of a special feature? ”

Zhao Canniang asked suspiciously, wanting to collect a little more clues.

The guy who spoke just now shook his head, but it was the guy named Kosugi. At this time, he said: "I remember that one of the men said a few words when he beat Zhao Gongzi, because he was a little far apart, and he couldn't hear it very clearly intermittently. But it seems to say that Zhao Gongzi has betrayed the Lord or something. ”

Kosugi said this, and then added, "By the way, I remember that one of the men had a dark spot the size of a finger on his face. in the position of the eyes. As the two of us rushed over, the man glanced back. I just saw it. ”

After Xiaoshan finished speaking, Zhao Canniang's brows furrowed even more.

This matter is not simple, Zhao Canniang is recalling in her heart whether she has ever seen such a man.

Asked everything that should be asked, Zhao Canniang repeatedly confirmed that the two of them did not miss anything, and Zhao Canniang stood up.

"Thank you, shopkeeper, thank you, two little brothers."

Coming out of the rice shop, Zhao Canniang returned to Zhao's mansion.

Walking into the house, Chen Zhongqiu, Shopkeeper Zhang, and Governor Ji all got the news.

Chen Zhongqiu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhao Canniang enter the house, but then asked, "What's going on?" Ask what is out of no? ”

Zhao Canniang nodded and said what she had just asked in the rice shop.

Chen Zhongqiuzai listened carefully, but the shopkeeper Zhang on the side suddenly said: "There are dark spots on the eyes, I seem to know this person." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Canniang, Chen Zhongqiu, and the people in the room all looked at the shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper Zhang looked at Zhao Canniang at this time and said, "Canniang, do you remember the chef in charge of Tianxiang Restaurant in the past. ”

was reminded by the shopkeeper Zhang, Zhao Canniang began to think about it carefully, and after thinking for a while, she really remembered that when she was in Tianxiang Restaurant before, there was a chef who had a dark spot on his eye.

But the age doesn't seem to match what the two guys described.

Zhao Canniang looked at Shopkeeper Zhang, and then said: "But Shopkeeper Zhang, the guy at the rice shop said that the other party is two young men, and the chef in charge should be in his forties now!" ”

Shopkeeper Zhang smiled: "My words are not finished yet, the chef surnamed Shi, known as the chef of food, a very good guy in the past, worked under me for many years, and then your brother bought Tianxiang Restaurant, and also left him, and then your brother also taught them to cook, but then something happened and your brother fired him." ”

Zhao Canniang seemed to think of something, and asked suspiciously: "Is it because the chef leaked the recipe?" ”

After Zhao Canniang finished speaking, the shopkeeper Zhang nodded: "That's it, your brother was very angry at the time, you think it was because you trusted him very much, so you didn't quit him when you bought Tianxiang Restaurant, but later he was bitten back by the chef, you think your brother must be angry in his heart." ”

Zhao Canniang still didn't understand what Shopkeeper Zhang was going to say. (To be continued......)
