Chapter Twenty-Three: Heroes Save Beauty

Zhao Zhai.

The old man of the Zhao family has two wives, and the current young master of the Zhao family is named Zhao Lin, who is the only son of the Zhao family and is born of the second wife.

But the old man of the Zhao family died young, and the second lady was overly sad and depressed, and she also went away.

Therefore, Zhao Lin was raised by Mrs. Dafang of the Zhao family.

Zhao Lin is twenty-four years old this year, and four years ago, he was arranged by the eldest lady to marry the daughter of a friend businessman, which can be regarded as a political marriage.

The backyard of the mansion.

The eldest lady, whose condition has improved, is wearing silk pajamas, and she is over forty years old, and her figure is still good.

Three thousand green silks were scattered, his arms were leaning on the soft couch table, his face was a little pale, but it was not difficult to see the beauty of his youth.

After she called Zhao Lin to reprimand her, she said bitterly:

“…… Illness comes like a mountain, illness goes like a thread, my body needs to be cultivated for a long time, and this Zhao family's business will eventually be handed over to you.

But you've only been in charge for a few days, and the people below are already complaining.

Lin'er, how can you tell me to rest assured that the Zhao family will be handed over to you? ”

The eldest lady has been in charge of the family for many years, and the Zhao family has her eyes and ears.

It's just that he was not in good health before, and he didn't have much time to wake up every day, so he temporarily handed over the power of the Zhao family to Zhao Lin.

Today, her spirit is good, and she wants to know how effective Zhao Lin is in presiding over the work of the Zhao family.

But who would have thought that after Zhao Lin took power.

The first thing is not to take over his own business and receive the shopkeepers of various stores, but to take revenge on a Zhao family worker.

She was both angry and helpless.

Over the years, she has been in charge of the Zhao family's business by a woman, but she has neglected to discipline this child.

Zhao Lin didn't care and said: "Mother, it's just a long-term worker."

How many people want to come into my Zhao family to do things, they dare to leave today, and I will be able to recruit people back tomorrow.

For such a trivial matter, do you need to call me over at night to teach me a lesson?

If you don't want to hand over the Zhao family to me, then I don't want to be this family.

Anyway, your illness is about to heal, and I am not the same as me. ”

Of course, having said that, it is not necessary for him to hand over power again.

Hearing this, the eldest lady felt more and more uncomfortable in her heart.

"Lin'er, that Yang Lin has been working in my Zhao family for two generations, and his personality is even more famous for being honest and honest, can't others see your tricks?

The Zhao family's business depends on the dyeing workshop, and every worker in it is the wealth of my Zhao family.

Now you can hire workers to replace them, but do the new workers have the skills and experience of these old workers?

Once there is a problem with the cloth in the dyeing workshop, it will smash the reputation of the Zhao family for decades, which is a price we can't afford now.

Have you considered all these questions? ”

Zhao Lin didn't answer, just lowered his head, looking like a wooden man, and he didn't know if he listened or not.

The eldest lady was silent for a moment, and then said:

"Back then, you were drunk and defiled Liu Hong, and you fled back to the academy in fear. That Liu Hong lost her innocence, and when she woke up, she wanted to hang herself, but thanks to someone who saw her and saved her.

For the sake of your aftermath, my mother asked Yang Lin to marry her, and the matter subsided. ”

Zhao Lin raised his head and said, "No, I'm going to marry her!" ”

"Then why are you running away?"

"I, I just didn't think about it."

The eldest lady almost laughed angrily: "So you are a strange lady who made her own opinion, and she spread her anger on Yang Lin's head." ”

Zhao Lin snorted coldly and said: "Yes, what is Yang Lin, he dares to touch my woman, mother, you can't stop me in this matter."

I heard that he also had a sinister seed with Hong'er, and sooner or later I will die along with that sinister seed. ”

The eldest lady heard the hatred from Zhao Lin's words, which was by no means the hatred that a long-term worker should have.

She seemed to understand something, and said:

"You're not taking revenge on Yang Lin, you want to take revenge on your mother, right?"

"What did my mother do to make you so resentful in your heart that you implicated the innocent?"

"Tell me, Zhao Lin!"

Zhao Lin's face sank, and he said: "Mother, you can take care of your illness, the Zhao family is in my hands, and it will only get better and better." ”

The eldest lady's eyes showed sadness: "It's my mother's mistake, my mother only wants to keep the family business that your father handed over to me from falling, but she lacks discipline for you, and she actually let you raise such a vicious heart." ”

"After I die, what face will I have to see my lord again?"

"Zhao Lin, from now on, you will stay at home and be grounded, and when you know that you are wrong, I will let you out."

The eldest lady held up her spirit and shouted to the outside:

"Someone, someone!"

Two housekeepers walked in at the door.

"Lady, what do you command?"

"Take the young master down and lock him up, and let the young lady come over."

But Jiading didn't move, just looked up at Zhao Lin.

Zhao Lin waved his hand: "You all stand down." ”

The two family members retreated when they heard this.

"Wait a minute."

The family stopped.

"The eldest lady has just recovered from a serious illness, her body is weak, and she can't stand the cold, if anyone asks to see her in the future, she will be stopped and gone."

"Yes."

The family finally stepped back.

"Mother, you said that after I took power, I didn't go to meet the shopkeeper and the steward, it was because I was meeting with the people in the family, and I must first settle inside."

Zhao Lin smiled slightly and said:

"Now they only know that the Zhao family has one master, and that is me, Zhao Lin!"

The eldest lady's expression suddenly turned ugly, and she scolded loudly:

"Zhao Lin, what do you want to do? I'm your mother, do you want to imprison your mother?! ”

Zhao Lin didn't pretend anymore, or he pretended for too many years, and he couldn't hold it anymore.

"Mother? My own mother is long dead! I'm not your son at all! ”

The eldest lady couldn't believe it: "What did you say? ”

Zhao Lin snorted coldly: "What did I say? I said that my own mother would have died a long time ago, and I am not your son at all, and if you had your own son, I am afraid that I would have died a long time ago. ”

The eldest lady laughed miserably: "It turns out that you hate me so much, but I really don't know what I treat you badly?"

I have not given birth, and I have regarded you as my own since I was a child, and I am satisfied with everything you want.

Isn't that enough? ”

Zhao Lin didn't appreciate it at all, but became even more emotional.

"Those were originally mine, I am the only son of the Zhao family, and the entire Zhao family is mine, do you just want to be grateful to you just for giving me a little of it?

Growing up, all I heard in your ears was scolding and scolding, if I were your own son, would you still do this?

If I have a bad attitude towards my subordinates, you will say that I have no bearing of the master.

If I use a little more money a month, you will reprimand me for my extravagance.

I went to the Warm Spring Pavilion with my classmates, and you also have to scold and scold the greedy flowers.

In your eyes, I will always be a useless person, and I will always be your marionette, and I will do whatever you want me to do.

Do you remember why I got drunk in the first place?

Just because I had a fight with my classmates in the academy, I was punished by my husband to go home to reflect, but you didn't ask the reason, and scolded me for cutting my head and covering my face, saying that I can't carve rotten wood, saying that I don't learn and can't learn, and that I don't want to be motivated!

But why do I want to fight, because that guy said that you are a woman who shows your face outside, slanders you for not hesitating to sleep with people in order to do business, and says that you are a bitch in the green building, and you can get on it if you give money.

So I fought him so hard that he was bleeding from the head.

But you didn't ask anything, you just scolded me.

I was bitter in my heart, but who could I say to me that I could only drink.

So that night, I got drunk and mistook Hong'er for you.

If you knew, I was afraid that you would scold me again, and I would not dare to face it, but to flee.

I'm not interested in that Yang Lin, and I don't have much love for Hong'er, but they are my nightmare.

Every time I think of them, I think of that night, of my misery.

So they must die! ”

Zhao Lin's face was flushed, his expression was excited, and he confided out all the words that had been buried in his heart for many years, which was happier than anything else for him.

"Mother, come, give me the key to the treasury at home, from now on, I will be the real head of the Zhao family, and I will give you a pension for the elderly."

The eldest lady first felt guilty when she heard it, and felt that she had misunderstood Zhao Lin.

The reason why he is like this is because he is not doing well, because he is busy with business, so he is too rough with the discipline of his children and never asks the reason.

Especially knowing that Zhao Lin was fighting in the academy for his reputation, she was even more moved.

But when she knew the real reason why Zhao Lin defiled Liu Hong, she felt extremely disgusted.

"Rebel! Don't you think! ”

The eldest lady coughed heavily, and her newly recovered body had a tendency to deteriorate.

Zhao Lin said indifferently: "Mother, a door can't stop me, don't hurt the last bit of love between our mother and son." ”

Hearing this, the eldest lady subconsciously touched her chest.

Zhao Lin's eyes lit up, he stepped forward quickly, and pulled away the eldest lady's hand.

"You've hidden the key here!"

The collar of the eldest lady's pajamas was torn open, and a silver key was seen deep in it.

Round, snow-white.

Zhao Lin couldn't help but be stunned.

The eldest lady also reacted, screamed, and was about to push Zhao Lin away.

But how could she push a big man when she was sick and weak, but it completely woke up Zhao Lin.

Zhao Lin swallowed his saliva, only to feel a hot breath rising up and down his body, and there was a little more desire in his eyes.

"Mother, you're usually lonely, aren't you?"

"Get out! I don't care about you! ”

As a woman, the eldest lady understood what this kind of look represented, and she finally showed a panicked look.

"The keys are for you, for everything, get out of here!"

She tore off the key from her chest and threw it on the ground.

But Zhao Lin didn't look at the key, and pressed forward with his body.

"Don't lie to yourself anymore, Chunxiang has already told me that my mother's night is very difficult, and she can't sleep well."

"What did you do with Haruka?"

The eldest lady resisted Zhao Lin's assault and still cared about her personal maid.

"She's still dreaming of a young grandmother, but she told me everything, if it weren't for the fact that she is her mother's personal maidservant, I wouldn't be able to look down on this kind of woman."

Only then did the eldest lady understand how deeply the son in front of her, who had been raised for more than 20 years, had hidden the truth, and it turned out that even the people closest to her had already become her eyes and ears.

Her hands were held down, her pajamas were torn open, and she knew that she was calling the heavens and the earth at the moment.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she had the will to die.

"Even if I am a ghost, I will not let you go!"

But Zhao Lin has been manipulated by desire, where can he still listen.

But at this moment, there was a muffled sound behind Zhao Lin, his eyes widened, and he fell down softly.

The eldest lady hurriedly pushed it away, and saw a black cloth masked man standing in the room with a confused look in his eyes.

"What's going on? Do you big families have such a good time in private? ”

The person who came was Jiang Yi who wanted to take advantage of the night to do the right thing for heaven and rob the rich and help the poor.

He climbed over the wall and entered the house all the way into a no-man's land, so easy that he thought it was a trap.

How to say that the Zhao family has a lot of money, just this level of security is really worrying.

How did he know that tonight was a good day for the young master of the Zhao family to prepare for a showdown, take control of power, and regain his strength, and he had already transferred his manpower.

That's a coincidence.

Jiang Yi went straight into the backyard, and then he heard the night talk of mother and son, and when he was feeling that it was not easy to raise a child and the importance of education, Zhao Lin actually began to be wolf-like.

Naturally, he couldn't sit idly by and make timely moves at a critical juncture.

The eldest lady's face was red and white for a while, and she hurriedly sorted out her clothes, but her pajamas had already been torn by Zhao Lin, covered here, and exposed there again.

looming, I could see that Jiang Yi, a young boy, had a hot nose.

Jiang Yi was speechless and said, "Madam, are you tempting me?" ”

He pointed to the blanket under the eldest lady's buttocks.

The eldest lady woke up like a dream, wrapped in a blanket, and suddenly felt a little more secure, and gradually regained her senses.

"Thank you for saving me, and the concubine is grateful. If she is defiled by this son, the concubine will have no face to live. ”

Although seeing Jiang Yi's appearance was not good, the eldest lady pretended not to know.

After all, how can there be a masked hero who breaks into his house late at night.

Jiang Yi waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, just pay." ”

The eldest lady was stunned: "Huh? ”

Jiang Yi's eyes were cold: "Madame is planning to eat white food?" ”

The eldest lady hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, how much does the hero want, say a word, and the concubine will serve it with both hands." ”

"Originally, I was entrusted by someone, and I heard that your Zhao family was rich and unkind, so I came to destroy you.

However, I listened to your conversation with this evil obstacle before, and I knew that although your Zhao family had minor faults, their sins were not to death. ”

"I wanted you to take a few hundred taels to help the poor and save merit for you, but now that I have saved you, this kindness is worth a thousand taels."

As soon as Jiang Yi opened his mouth, the eldest lady was frightened.

"The hero is clear-sighted, the Zhao family has always been kind and benevolent, and has never defaulted on workers' wages, it is by no means a rich and unkind family, it must be slandered!"

The eldest lady hurriedly explained, and when she heard that Jiang Yi asked for money, she didn't dare not agree.

"The concubine is willing to take out two thousand taels to thank the hero."

At this juncture, she didn't dare to say a word of no.

"One thousand taels is to thank me for saving my life, and the other thousand taels is for me to help you do good deeds and help the poor, don't get confused. I'm two kinds of people with those extortion bastards. ”

Jiang Yi nodded, seeing that the eldest lady did not move, and said:

"What are you doing in a daze, taking money."

The eldest lady said embarrassedly: "Two thousand taels is not a small amount, and there is no concubine by her side." ”

Jiang Yi asked, "Then how many do you have?" ”

"Three hundred taels."

The eldest lady took out three hundred taels of silver tickets from a jewelry box behind her, all of which were fifty taels and one each, a total of six.

Jiang Yi unceremoniously took the silver ticket and said:

"I'll get the rest tomorrow night, don't play tricks, otherwise, Madam doesn't want tonight's events to spread all over Baiyun City."

After that, he looked at Zhao Lin under his feet and slipped up.

"I'll take this scum away and deal with it."

"Don't thank me, it's a gift of friendship."

Make the best use of everything, how can this guy squeeze out a few hundred taels and be a hostage.

Tonight's action went much smoother than he had imagined.
