First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 93 Can I Either
Although he felt that the fake glance before was just his own illusion, but it is a fact that Du Rongzhi is not in a good mood today.So when eating at night, Song Zixun specially found a topic that Du Rongzhi was interested in to start.

"When I came back from the Imperial Academy today, I happened to meet King Yi—he mentioned the rice shop." He said slowly.

As expected, Du Rongzhi's ears perked up immediately.

It's been a few months since...

Because the Hexing rice shop managed by Han Chunsheng in his previous life suffered a huge fire and suffered heavy losses, so this time Du Rongzhi reminded his father and son: the weather has been dry recently, so we must do a good job of patrolling fire prevention work .She originally wanted to avoid the fire this year and avoid unnecessary losses, but she didn't want to find out the truth about the fire in the rice shop in her previous life—it was not a natural disaster, but someone deliberately set the fire on fire.

Those who set the fire were a few idle local rogues, and they all confessed after being caught on the spot: All the shops and stalls in this area have always been taken care of by them. A lot of hard work.But this Han Chunsheng alone, relying on his strong background, has never paid protection fees, and recently tried to incite several nearby merchants to unite and fight them to the end.

These rascals already harbored resentment towards Han Chunsheng, but now they were even more vicious, so they took advantage of the dark moon and the high wind, and ganged up to show him some flair.

The cause of the fire in the previous life came to light, and Mipu did not suffer any losses. It was a happy thing for everyone, but Han Zonghao didn't want to pay attention to it in secret - he has seen more of the world now, and has his own connections, so he found out the truth by following the vines. The leaders of several gangsters are very friendly with the shopkeeper of Changlong Rice Shop.

But it is said that these two rice shops are on the same street, Hexing is on the street, and Changlong is at the end of the street.

No matter the size, seniority, or the type, quantity, and price of rice, the two shops are almost the same.It's just that Han Chunsheng is gentle and kind, and it's the same in business. No matter who comes to buy rice, he always pays high.Over time, Hexing's business got better and better, and even many of Changlong's regular customers were willing to go far away and would rather walk a few steps to buy rice from him.

Now that the mastermind of the arson case knew the shopkeeper Changlong, Han Zonghao couldn't help but have other concerns.

At that time, Du Rongzhi was pregnant with Liujia, and because she was injured by a vicious dog, she was resting in the mansion. The father and son of the Han family didn't want her to worry any more, so they didn't alarm Du Rongzhi, but just complained about their doubts about the matter. Above the court, I asked the county magistrate to investigate strictly.

However, although the county magistrate of Qingping County inquired, he finally ignored the appeal of the Han family father and son on the grounds of insufficient evidence. Money and silk for compensation.

So far, what do Han Chunsheng and his son don't understand?I know that the Qingping county magistrate has already been bribed in all likelihood, and now it is just a bluff, taking the opportunity to let the real perpetrator escape... In desperation, he had to ask someone to come in and tell Du Rongzhi the matter listen.

Du Rongzhi couldn't think of any effective method at the moment, not to mention that she is pregnant now, even if she is not, she can't do anything at all - Changlong rice shop is the property under the name of Prince Yi.But if nothing is done, this time is already arson, who knows what will happen next time?After much deliberation, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask Song Zixun.

She also felt that it was a bit awkward to speak this way.

Not to mention that so far, there is no direct evidence in this matter to show that these ruffians were bought by others, even if it can be proved in the end - based on the identity of Prince Yi, she is not sure whether Song Zixun can Do yourself a favor.

In fact, Song Zixun did not promise her anything after hearing this, but only asked her to call Han Chunsheng and his son to come and talk.

She had also vaguely heard Nanny An say a few times about what happened afterwards - it is said that somehow the butler of Prince Yi's Mansion was involved...

...Today is the first time I heard Song Zixun mention it himself.

Du Rongzhi pursed her lips.Want to ask...but don't know where to ask.

Song Zixun picked a few pieces of amber meat for her and put them in a bowl, "I'll tell you after I eat it." He smiled, "Grandmother said you are too thin, you should make yourself fatter, so that you will have strength when you give birth." In fact, Mrs. Song's original words were that Du Rongzhi was too young and weak, and the first child would probably suffer more...

Du Rongzhi lightly replied yes, and sure enough, she obediently ate.

Song Zixun calmly suppressed the worry in his eyes, and continued, "What King Yi means is that although those arsonists were entrusted by the steward, it was ultimately the result of his lax rule, and he wanted to give you Changlong. Shock."

The chopsticks in Du Rongzhi's hand stopped, and he raised his head dumbfounded, "Give it to me?"

Song Zixun nodded and asked with a smile, "What do you think?"

Du Rongzhi pursed her lips and said hesitantly, "What do you think? Is it okay to be a concubine?"

"You are the boss, why did you ask me?" Song Zixun smiled, and put another chopsticks of fried mutton with green onions into Du Rongzhi's bowl, "Yi Wang's words are very sincere, if you don't accept it, I'm afraid he will I will feel bad about it.”

"I understand." Du Rongzhi nodded and thought for a while, "Then this arson case—"

"Wu Dayou absconded in fear of crime, the government has issued a document, just waiting for him to be arrested and brought to justice."

Du Rongzhi couldn't help but look at him.

Song Zixun also looked back.

Both of them read another meaning of this sentence from each other's eyes——

Steward Wu of Yiwang Mansion... is impossible to catch.

After all, a human life was involved, and the atmosphere became a little heavy unconsciously.

After a while, Du Rongzhi said softly, "This time... I have caused you trouble."

"Husband and wife are one body, so what is troublesome or not?" Song Zixun waved his hands, "Besides, I didn't do anything..." Seeing Du Rongzhi's eyes shining brightly at him, Song Zixun couldn't help laughing, "That's all... I can’t explain this matter clearly in a few words, but it’s finally settled satisfactorily.” He paused, “If you have no objection, you can send someone over to check and accept after a few days——I see that shopkeeper Han’s The son is fine."

Du Rongzhi nodded, and thought, "It's not bad...but I'm still a little out of touch, and I need to hone it for a few more years." Seeing Song Zixun looking at her funny, Du Rongzhi was taken aback, "Where did the concubine say that?" Is it wrong?"

"You're right," Song Zixun smiled, "It's just that from your tone of voice just now, it seems that you are very old."

Du Rongzhi was slightly startled, lowered his eyes and said, "Hurry up and eat, the food is going to be cold."
