Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Chapter 182 Who is worse off than dead?

"We both have a long life, and we have plenty of time to repay the princess. Come on, since the princess has given you such a gift, we will move in now!"

Shopkeeper Chai patted Lou Zixi on the shoulder and said.

Lou Zixi nodded heavily: "You are right, there will still be a long time ahead!"

The two of them walked out. As soon as they went out, they saw ten or twenty people standing outside. When they saw the two of them, they called the first master and the second master.

For the sake of convenience, shopkeeper Chai and Lou Zixi became sworn brothers with different surnames as early as on the way to Beijing.

This is also the reason why Murong Jiu only gave one house as a gift, but they wouldn't take two as a gift.

Both of them lost all their relatives. During the flood, they supported each other and survived.

Otherwise, Shopkeeper Chai would not have brought him to the capital to join his distant relatives.

But no one expected that his legs would be broken as soon as he entered the Chen Mansion.

However, the Chen Mansion certainly did not expect that they would have noble people to help them, and now, they even bought the Chen Mansion's house.

These servants were all bought by the princess at the request of Butler Lin, and the bonds of sale were exactly the ones that Shopkeeper Chai saw just now.

The men are all powerful, the maids look smart and capable, and there is an old housekeeper who is respectful and absolutely loyal.

The two of them usually have people waiting around them. The book boy in Louzixi was also given by the princess. He has practiced martial arts since he was a child and is very clever.

They didn't feel that they needed protection, but the princess's wishes were difficult to refuse. Now that they saw these carefully selected servants, they felt even more grateful.

As soon as they were told to move, shopkeeper Lou Zixi and his servants walked towards the Chen Mansion in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, the people in the Chen Mansion had not moved out yet. The door was closed tightly. Several servants here forced the door open. The people inside actually started shouting and cursing, attracting many people to come and watch the excitement.

The evil slaves of the Chen family complained first, saying that they had forced their way into the houses of officials in the capital and wanted to sue them.

Shopkeeper Chai said nothing, took out the house deed and said:
"Everyone, take a look, the deed of this house is with us. The Chen family sold the house but did not move out. How can this be reasonable? We are here to evict people. If we can't evict them, we will be the ones to report to the official. "

When everyone saw this, they all accused the Chen family.

Only then did Shopkeeper Chai and Lou Zixi know what had happened. It turned out that Mr. Chen's only son Chen Wenyi had been in the brothel a few days ago, and he was jealous of an oiran. They both drank wine and fought each other. In the chaos, Chen Wenyi's servant pushed the man downstairs and he fell to death on the spot.

The young master who fell to death had a powerful family. Mr. Chen was an eighth-grade official, but he was impeached and dismissed from office the next day.

Although Chen Wenyi did not have to go to jail and his servants took the blame, he was still beaten and disabled by the family. It is said that when the Chen family found him, he was only breathing, his life was broken, and the bones in both legs were smashed and twisted. Being a mahua, it can be said that life is worse than death.

Mr. Chen was anxious to sell the house. He wanted to go back to his hometown to avoid trouble, and also wanted to raise money for Chen Wenyi's medical treatment.

It's just that as soon as the house was sold and the money was received, it was stolen by gangsters. Now they didn't even have the money to leave the capital, so they didn't move out in time.

Shopkeeper Chai and Lou Zixi just felt happy. The princess must have known about it, but she didn't let the Chen family leave, probably just to let them see the miserable state of the Chen family.

Lou Zixi exhaled a breath of turbid air and felt comfortable all over.He still remembers the look of disdain and disdain the Chen family gave him and Shopkeeper Chai back then. If Shopkeeper Chai hadn't been willing to take care of the store for the Chen family for free, and he was a scholar with good knowledge and might have some future, the Chen family would never have done it. Want to take them in.

But as soon as the front foot agreed to take the two of them in, the back foot almost fell down because of Lou Zixi's support. When Chen Wenyi saw it, he immediately became angry with him and asked the evil slave to drag him out and beat him severely without explanation. After a meal, one of his legs was deliberately broken.

"I want to see how you can take the imperial examination with a broken leg! Bah! If you dare to seduce my cousin with such a shabby thing, I will make your life worse than death!"

Lou Zixi still remembers Chen Wenyi's ferocious face that day.

If it were not for the princess, her life would be ruined, and even if she were alive, it would indeed be worse than death.

The princess is his eternal benefactor.

Lou Zixi said to the servant behind him: "Go and drive out all the Chen family."

He really wanted to see what Chen Wenyi looked like as a lost dog.

The Chen family were cursing and yelling inside, but most of the servants in the mansion had sold out, and the remaining servants were no match for the servants here. After a while, the Chen family was kicked out, clanking. Yes, all the pots and pans were thrown out.

"How can there be such a reason! How can there be such a reason!"

Mr. Chen was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick, and his face looked extremely ugly.

The female relatives behind her were crying even more, especially the old lady of the Chen family, who was covering her heart as if she was about to faint.

Only then did Mrs. Chen notice Shopkeeper Chai and Lou Zixi.

The two of them are no longer as skinny as before. The brocade robes they wear are made of materials that even the Chen family could not afford. They often interact with dignitaries and have a restrained temperament. At first glance, they are not ordinary people. .

"It's you! Did you buy our house?"

Madam Chen recognized Shopkeeper Chai because it was Madam Chen who defected to Shopkeeper Chai that day. Mrs. Chen was the cousin of Shopkeeper Chai's mother, and she could also be considered Shopkeeper Chai's cousin. She was a relative who had not been out of the fifth server.

Otherwise, Shopkeeper Chai would be too embarrassed to bring his people to seek refuge.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Chen looked at him critically that day, as if the mud on his feet had soiled the floor of Chen's house. She also said that although she and his mother were cousins, they were one round older than each other, and they only met each other in total. After just a few visits, anyone really dares to come and catch the autumn wind.

Shopkeeper Chai felt extremely embarrassed that day. He remembered that when there were no floods at home, his mother asked him to send gifts to the Chen Mansion in Beijing every year, saying that he should not forget the etiquette.

As a result, Mrs. Chen regarded them as those who wanted to fight against the autumn wind, and she disliked them as much as she wanted.

After Lou Zixi's leg was broken by Chen Wenyi, shopkeeper Chai once begged Mrs. Chen, but Mrs. Chen sneered:
"That scholar is probably crazy because of his poverty. As soon as he enters the house, he seduces the cousin of our house. He doesn't even look at what he looks like! My grandson is a good fighter. This kind of person deserves to be beaten to death!"

Not to mention donating some money for medical treatment or finding a reliable doctor, but he didn't even apologize, which made it Lou Zixi's fault.

It was obvious that the cousin saw Lou Zixi's good looks and took a few more glances. She accidentally sprained her foot and rushed towards Lou Zixi. Lou Zixi couldn't push the person out, so she helped him. A handful, and then he got into trouble.

Mrs. Chen said excitedly at this moment: "Chai Tuo, I heard that you are from Prince Ling's Mansion, and you have made a lot of money with Princess Ling. Quickly, return the house deed to us, and then find a good doctor to treat Wen Yi's injury. Wen Yi is your nephew! You can't ignore him!"
