After being divorced, the concubine became the first lady

Chapter 43 How many people are going to deal with the Chu family?

This sentence made Li Xinzhi furious, and she blushed: "Is your love just a threat again and again, making me uneasy?"

Gu Shouping's voice became louder: "I did it for our future, Xinzhi, have you ever thought that because of you, I am still unmarried."

Li Xinzhi: "Is it because of me that you don't get married? Gu Shouping, how many women have you had an affair with? Do you need to say it again?"

Gu Shouping: "That's all just for fun. You are the only one in my heart."

The two of them just forgot about their situation, one was hanging in the air, the other was not shy about the presence of outsiders, and they were arguing like crazy.

Chu Jinjin felt like she didn't exist.

Does love make people so crazy?

After confirming that the two of them were not acting, Chu Jinjin helplessly shouted: "Don't argue yet."

She's here to do business.

But if you don’t understand the situation, you won’t be able to operate it next.

Chu Jinjin thought for a while, then turned to Li Xinzhi: "Mrs. Li, you speak first."

Li Xinzhi turned his head angrily: "I have nothing to say, and I can't help you. You can kill or chop him up as you please."

Chu Jinjin had no choice but to kick Gu Shouping: "What about you, don't you want to say anything?"

She didn't beat Li Xinzhi because Li Xinzhi could help and Gu Shouping had no use value. From what he just said, it seemed that he had a bad style and he had wanted to beat him up for a long time.

"Zhou Guoshou is a beast!" Gu Shouping started with gritted teeth.

Zhou Guoshou was born as a Jinshi, and his talents were first-rate. However, it was always difficult for a poor family to get ahead in the officialdom. If he wanted to take a step forward, he had to be recommended by someone.

He was spotted by Li Xinzhi's grandfather.

From then on, Zhou Guoshou began to rise rapidly, and at the same time, his true face was revealed bit by bit.

He didn't like Li Xinzhi, not at all, and had to marry him for the sake of his career.

When they got married, Li Xinzhi's grandfather, who was once a very popular minister, seemed to have anticipated this day, and asked Zhou Guoshou to sign a contract, prohibiting Li Xinzhi from taking concubines for life, unless Li Xinzhi violated the virtues of a woman.

The second-grade officials who were in charge of real power were no longer the poor scholars who needed to be looked up to. Some of them were fawning to please.

Because of this well-known contract, I can only watch the beauty present.

Then, find Gu Shouping.

Gu Shouping was a mediocre student, but he was good at painting, especially portraits.

"That's enough!" Li Xinzhi couldn't bear to interrupt when he saw the specific details between the two, "Chu Jinjin, you kill him, and I will help you intercede with Zhou Guoshou, even if it costs me my life. how?"

Chu Jinjin shook her head and said regretfully: "Sorry, I can't kill him."

Most people just kill.

Gu Shouping was considered a figure. If she suddenly disappeared, her family would definitely report it to the police. Others didn't know, but Zhou Guoshou knew about it. It was not difficult to follow Li Xinzhi and get to her.

Murder is a crime, and she doesn't want to engage in loss-making business.

Chu Jinjin thought of something and frowned: "That's not right. If you really want to kill him, it should be easy."

Regardless of the identity of Mrs. Gaoming or the Zhou family and the Li family, there are plenty of ways.

Li Xinzhi blushed so much that he almost bled: "He, he took my bellyband."

Chu Jinjin understood.

Bellybands are a very representative private item for women in this era. Most of them are unique. Even if the style and color are the same, the details will be very different.

This Gu Shouping has been threatening him with his bellyband.

Chu Jinjin thought of a way: "How about this, I break his hands and feet, and you push him off the cliff."

In this way, Li Xinzhi is the principal offender and she is an accessory. They are two grasshoppers on the same rope.

Chu Jinjin did as she was told, stepping on Gu Shouping's wrist with her toes, waiting only for Li Xinzhi's consent.

Just coming back from the edge of the cliff, Gu Shouping didn't dare to take any chances. His eyes were desperate: "Xinzhi, do you really hate me so much that you want me to die?"

"Shut up." Chu Jinjin kicked ashes into his mouth.

When I see a man like this, I want to beat him up.

Big tears suddenly flowed from Li Xinzhi's eyes. She wiped them away and said word by word: "Gu Shouping, I only have one request. Give me back your bellyband, and don't let me see you again from now on."

This man once briefly pulled her out of despair, but then turned around and pushed her into even greater despair.

"It's useless for you to do this." Chu Jinjin knows human nature too well. It should be Li Xinzhi's attitude that caused today's situation. There should be no first time for the right approach.

Chu Jinjin took out the fancy dagger without a blade and stabbed it into Gu Shouping's palm.

It was the right hand that was pierced.

Large amounts of blood spurted out immediately.

Gu Shouping wanted to struggle and shout, but then he was punched in the face. Stars suddenly appeared in his eyes and his head buzzed.

"Go deeper, and you won't even think about painting in the future." Chu Jinjin stabbed slowly, maximizing the pain, "You only have one chance, nod if you agree."

Gu Shouping didn't think about it at all and nodded desperately.

Chu Jinjin pulled out the dagger and taught Li Xinzhi a lesson: "Look, isn't it very simple?"

Li Xinzhi: "."

Gu Shouping's face was covered with blood: "It's in Zhuangzi's secret cabinet."

As a painter who specializes in painting portraits of noble people, he is considered to be of a small fortune. He has three Zhuangzi, and the Zhuangzi where Dudou is located is not far from here.

Chu Jinjin said directly: "Mrs. Li, I'll get it. Where can I find you later?" Her kindness is only for her own people. As long as she can get the gold mine back, she doesn't mind threatening Li Xinzhi again with her bellyband.

Li Xinzhi understood the meaning of her words, and stared blankly at Gu Shouping, who was covered in blood and dirt. After a while, he nodded numbly: "Tonight, I will go to the Chu family to visit Miss Chu San."

After saying that, she let out a long sigh as if she had just come back to life: "Most of the people around me are arranged by Zhou Guoshou, and few of them can be trusted. It will be even more difficult if he knows that you and I are meeting."

Then he added: "He is very scheming and afraid of death. You just made a big fuss at the city gate and led the family, so you should have taken precautions."

Gu Shou came over calmly and begged: "Xinzhi, I was wrong. I gave you the bellyband, but I really only have you in my heart."

Chu Jinjin kicked him in the mouth.

Li Xinzhi showed sincerity, so she had to show it too.

After briefly agreeing on the meeting method and time, Gu Shouping was escorted down the mountain, wherever there were fewer people. By the time they arrived at the Chu family's carriage, Gu Shouping was almost out of shape from being tortured.

He had never experienced such hardship before, walking in the woods and climbing ravines, but as long as he slowed down a little, Chu Jinjin would stab him with a dagger.

The female relatives all went for an outing to enjoy the flowers, and only the groom was waiting there.

When I saw the third lady sneaking out of the woods with a bloody man in tow, I almost jumped up in shock.

I wanted to ask but didn't dare, so I just obeyed the arrangements.

Gu Shouping's farm was a small one, with only two rough ladies and a few older servants. Even if Gu Shouping asked them, they would not dare to go.

There are many paintings hanging in the study room, all of which are portraits. I have to say that the paintings are indeed good.

Chu Jinjin saw Li Xinzhi's in the middle.

Gu Shouping was so beaten that he had a psychological shadow. Without asking, he explained weakly: "I, I like to keep an extra copy as a souvenir."

Keeping a portrait of a female family member privately is an unusual status. If it gets out, you can be beaten to death.

Chu Jinjin looked around carefully. There were about twenty women of different ages. Thinking about what Li Xinzhi said, she frowned and said, "Could it be that all these women have that kind of relationship with you?"

Specializing in portraits of noble people, it cannot be just young women.

Gu Shouping waved his hands repeatedly in fear: "No."

Chu Jinjin kicked him impatiently: "Hold on, where is the bellyband?"

Gu Shouping climbed onto the bed with his butt sticking out, and tinkered for a while, using his body to block Chu Jinjin's sight, but he couldn't hide it.

"Get out of here." Chu Jinjin kicked him away, and when she saw what was in the secret room, she took a breath of cold air.

A full stack of bellybands, neatly stacked according to color.

Gu Shouping knew that he could no longer hide it, and his face turned pale: "She, they all volunteered."

Chu Jinjin understood Li Xinzhi's mood.

The career of a painter is more attractive than that of a scholar to a certain extent, and Gu Shouping is tall and handsome, and he should be good at sweet talk. He always says, "You are the only one in my heart."

What shocked Chu Jinjin was mainly the quantity.

In this era, any man with a little bit of family wealth would not have three wives and six concubines, and he would even take concubines when he was very old.

Men can do it, why can’t women?

Why do so many women guard one man?
So it's understandable.

Chu Jinjin's attention quickly shifted. In the innermost part of the secret compartment, there was a thick stack of banknotes, amounting to nearly ten thousand taels.

The normal market price for a portrait ranges from a dozen taels to dozens of taels. The most expensive one is a hundred taels, which is a lot higher than the sky.

Gu Shouping calculated it as one hundred taels, which would be enough for a thousand people.

And this Zhuangzi.

"You are really a beast." Chu Jinjin confidently put the banknotes in her pocket, "These ill-gotten gains belong to me, do you have any objections?"

Gu Shouping's eyes turned red, and he suddenly rushed forward like crazy to snatch it away: "Bitch, I'll fight you."

He had just lost the love of his life and was losing his money, and it was killing him.

"If you want to fight, you have to see if you are qualified." Chu Jinjin did not hold back this time, kicked him in the heart, and said coldly, "I originally wanted to spare your life, but you are seeking death yourself."

He is even more disgusting than Xu Wenda.

Want sex, but also cheat money.

Gu Shouping clutched his chest in pain and couldn't speak for a long time. When he saw Chu Jinjin pull out the dagger, the wound on his palm became particularly painful. He knelt down and begged for mercy: "Don't kill me, don't kill me."

Of course, Chu Jinjin was only scared. There was someone outside. She didn't expect him to be so cowardly. She put the dagger against his throat and said in a vicious voice: "Give me a reason not to kill you."

Unexpectedly, this sentence had unexpected results.

Gu Shouping was trembling all over: "Consort, the consort is going to attack your family."

Chu Jinjin's expression turned serious: "What, please make it clear?"

Gu Shouping pointed to his belly pocket, got permission, crawled over like a maggot, took out a pink one from it, and trembled to prove himself: "Zheng's consort kept an outhouse without telling the princess. I, I went and painted the portrait. She likes me very much. It was a wedding in the Xu Mansion. The day after you went to ask for the dowry, I went there again and talked about you afterward."

Afraid that Chu Jinjin wouldn't believe it, he pointed to a portrait on the wall and begged: "I really didn't lie. This is the concubine of the prince-in-law."

Chu Jinjin knew about the consort.

The court had rules that the prince-in-law was not allowed to participate in politics, but he could do business.

This Zheng Prince Consort, his father mentioned it many times, was one of the main competitors of the Chu family.

　Darlings, please give me a monthly ticket, I love you.
