Chapter 177 Zhi Zhou
Zhao Su helplessly ate this piece of fish belly meat, then squinted at the opposite side: “You can take a good look and see if I’m poisoned?”
Not only is it not poisoned, but it’s also delicious. The fish meat was very tender and should have only been caught from the river. The way used is braised, snow white fish meat wrapped in some sauce, it is not too much to say that the lips and teeth remain fragrant. Zhao Su took another bite, then took clean chopsticks and picked a piece of meat with fewer thorns for him.
The capitalist’s hair was finally smoothed out, and after a few bites, the emperor asked, “What is the reason that the paperwork was not signed today?”
He did not mention this, Zhao Su almost forgot.
Now hate put chopsticks: “Ministry of Public Works and moths, in the original submitted to you have seen the paperwork on the bottom of the draft and added another one, said the future dock no matter what the cause of things affecting the schedule, have to dock compensation, compensation amount is not low. But there is a say one, I think this has little to do with HeZhong, should be ZengPeiYing hold bad water.”
The emperor chewed slowly: “Zeng Peiying is He Zong’s subordinate, according to reason it is impossible to disobey He Zong’s order, add out this clause, rather than bullying, mo rather than to clamp down on Wu Lanfeng. If one knows that the paperwork was signed, then in order to not compensate for the huge amount of compensation, regarding the matter of breaking away from the Lin family, Wu Lanfeng would have to consider it carefully.”
Speaking here he put down his chopsticks, “Han Jun.”
Just outside the window Han Jun’s voice was heard, “Subordinate is here.”
The next moment a silhouette flashed by outside the window, then Han Jun walked in around the bow of the boat – it turned out that he had been on the riverbank the whole time!
“Go check out Zeng Peiying’s involvement with the governor of Cangzhou.”
Han Jun led the way. From start to finish, his face was lowered towards the ground.
Zhao Su retracted his gaze, “You suspect that Zeng Peiying is driven by interests behind this?”
The emperor took a sip of tea, “You can also say what you think.”
Zhao Su stared: “He Zong this person has always been unable to see women standing on their own feet, this time the only one who can solve the shipbuilding dilemma for the court is Cheng Yunhui’s dockyard, negotiating with a woman on an equal footing, and in their opinion having to condescend to come in person, they are definitely not happy in their hearts. He Zong was scolded by me to rack on the stage can not come down, Zeng Peiying in order to flatter him, clever to come on such a show is also possible.”
Finished she thought of the opposite side of this talent is the head of the bureaucracy, and said: “Of course what you say is also very reasonable, the Wu family those side branches also Lin family this side are not lack of money people, in the local government and business collusion is also common.”
The emperor looked askance, “You really don’t forget to pat a horse’s ass at all times.”
Zhao Su hemmed and hawed and nimbly chucked another piece of duck meat to him.
……
Yuzan rushed back when Wu Lanfeng finished her tea and reported back, “I passed the word to the wife, and she said that grandma was thoughtful and that the Lin family side was really unsettled. Mrs. told grandma to go ahead if she has decided to do it, and she has already made preparations on her side. I’ve been to the post house, but the people at the post house said that Miss Su has gone out. Don’t know where she went, the slave girl was worried that grandma was waiting impatiently, so she came back first.”
Wu Lanfeng thought for a moment, “In that case, we will go to the upper room.”
Lin Xie’s mother, Li, who was less than fifty years old and still very capable, was reading the account book under the window at this time. “I heard that you went to the state office in the morning.”
Wu Lanfeng said, “The Wu family took over a business, I helped to sign the paperwork.”
Li put the ledger down, “Your mother’s family’s affairs are in your mother’s hands, now that you’re a member of the Lin family, you should focus more on the Lin family and teach your children. These years you have not been pregnant again, brother sister child although not your birth, you have to fulfill the responsibility of the first mother is. Only then will it be possible for Xiege’er to change her mind, right?”
Wu Lanfeng raised her head, “Whether he will change his mind or not has nothing to do with me? Does madam think I need to beg for her patronage?”
“What are you saying?” Li straightened her back, “As a wife, shouldn’t you beg for your husband’s pity?”
Wu Lanfeng was coldly concerned, “I don’t care.”
“You!” Li stood up.
Wu Lanfeng raised her head sideways and looked at her, “Not only do I not care, but I came here to have something to say to your wife. My mother’s family only has one daughter like me now, the Wu family’s affairs are also my affairs, I must go and do them. But my daily commute between the Lin family and the Wu family is also very tortuous, my conjugal name with Lin Xie has long existed in name only, therefore, I have come here to say to madam that I want to merge with Lin Xie and leave the Lin family.”
“Every time it’s the same words, have you made enough fuss? What good would a divorce do you?!”
“If you hadn’t forcibly pressed on not signing the paperwork, wouldn’t I have no need to make a scene? Being reconciled is no longer beneficial to me, but at least I will be able to gain my freedom.”
Wu Lanfeng said here and stood up: “I will say here with, in a couple of days I will talk to my mother and ask her to go to the governor of the state to sign the paperwork with the Lin family, I also hope that Mrs. will be able to make it work, and it will not be in vain for me to serve the Lin family for eight years with all my heart and soul.”
“Don’t you just blame Xie’er for taking Liu into the family? Didn’t I tell you that you are the first wife, what is she, Liu? Sooner or later, I’ll make her get out of this house!” Li also stood up.
“That’s the Lin family’s business, it doesn’t concern me anymore. Besides, if I had known it would come to this, why would I have bothered to do it in the first place? When Liu was able to come in, it was also you, ma’am, who personally had someone carry her in. At that time, it was said that she was pregnant with the Lin family’s flesh and blood, and that she was a member of the Lin family, and that she was taken care of in every way, but now she wants to use my name to drive her away, so forgive me for not being able to take the blame for this.”
“Then what are you going to do?!”
“My mind is made up, there is no need to say anything more.”
After Wu Lanfeng finished bending down and saluting, she walked out.
Li stared blankly at her as she walked out the door, only half a day later did she return to her senses and send her maid, “Quickly go and call out to the master!”
“I’m here!”
As soon as the words fell, Lin Zhihuan, who was wearing a silk shirt, walked in from outside.
“Master, this Wu, she-”
“I heard it all.” Lin Zhihuan gritted his teeth and sat down, “She’s really crazy!”
“Master, what can we do now? If she really does this, then it’s impossible not to agree!”
“Naturally, we can’t allow her to be capricious. If it’s really not possible, let’s expel Liu from the house!”
Li was shocked: “Really expel?”
“If not a real expulsion, is it still a fake expulsion? Wu is only gambling because of her, with Liu gone, what else is she going to do? She can’t give birth to herself, do you think she really has the guts to walk out of the Lin family? She’s still got her own sons and daughters in the Lin family, so how hard would she have to be to leave? When Xie’er comes back, you send him out for two days, and then call him back when Liu leaves.”
Li clutched her hand: “Is this reliable? Will Xie’er make a scene when he returns?”
“How much do you think Xie’er loves her? He wouldn’t be so upset if he came out of a brothel. Don’t be a pain in the ass! What time is it now, if you don’t do this, do you still have a way to keep Wu?”
Li stopped talking at that moment.
