After being divorced, the concubine became the first lady

Chapter 44 Entering the brothel

Chu Jinjin's eyes were full of murderous intent: "What else do you know? Tell me. If you dare to miss a word, I will castrate you."

"I, we just talked casually." Gu Shouping felt that when he was practicing painting, the portrait of the God of Death must have been wrong. He recalled crazily, "The Prince Consort said, your Chu family has become the grasshoppers after the autumn, and you can't jump much." Oh my god."

He wanted more, but that was all he knew.

Then his mind flashed and he thought of something: "The princess's mother, Concubine Mei, has always been very close to the imperial concubine."

Chu Jinjin nodded.

According to his father, Zheng's consort actually just had an identity and had no abilities.

The princess he married was just one of the emperor's many daughters, and she was not very favored.

It seems that Mei Fei is hugging her thighs in advance.

Chu Jinjin took the pink bellyband and held it carefully in her arms. She wanted to know what the princess would think and what the emperor would think if she knew he was raising an aunt outside.

The emperor's daughter has no worries about getting married. In fact, many people really don't want to marry because marrying her is equivalent to marrying an ancestor, first the emperor and his ministers, and then the daughter-in-law. Even if the parents-in-law meet, they must kneel down and pay tribute.

A little bit contradictory, I can't hit or scold.

I am an emperor, and I can kill everyone in my family with just one sentence.

Gu Shouping knew that he probably wouldn't die, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Miss Chu, if you need anything, just ask."

"I need you to shut up." Chu Jinjin kicked him again and warned coldly, "You are not allowed to tell anyone about today, especially that concubine, and you are not allowed to leave the capital without my permission."

This matter cannot be taken lightly. She must first find out what Prince Consort Zheng is planning.

Chu Jinjin did not tell her family about this.

I don't want them to worry. There will be more troubles at home, and it's useless to talk.

But Li Xinzhi’s matter cannot be hidden.

Ever since Chu Zijian's accident, Chu Jinjin has been in charge of the family, so maybe she lacks a sense of security. Each room no longer eats alone, but gathers together as much as possible.

Chu Jinjin satisfied the curiosity of everyone, especially her mother, and she was so excited that she almost caught up with the storyteller.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Chu Jingde frowned: "If you put it this way, I'm afraid it won't work on Mrs. Li's side."

For a man who allows his foreign man to sleep with his wife, not to mention affection, at least the feeling of husband and wife is gone. If Li Xinzhi asks for it, it will be counterproductive.

Chu Jinjin thought about this: "What if we use our bellybands as chips?"

Let this matter out when the time comes.

A dignified second-grade official would be despised by everyone in the world if he behaved like an animal.

Chu Jingde didn't have Chu Jinjin's strength, but after living for decades, he had already become half a spirit. He sighed: "It's useless, Mrs. Li won't admit it."

Wang nodded: "Indeed."

As a woman, she felt the same way.

If Li Xinzhi wanted to, he would have done it long ago.

By then, the Li family, which had produced two prime ministers, became a joke overnight. Li Xinzhi was the victim, but outsiders would only care about her having an affair with another man.

Chu Jinjin had a different idea and slapped the table: "Then let's fight to the death."

She agreed with what everyone said, but being too worried would only affect the speed of her punches.

Zhou Guoshou is a dignified second-class man who cherishes his life. When the time comes, with Li Xinzhi’s bellyband, can he be completely clean?
Then he threatened with a knife.

If you don't believe it, he won't give in.

Her emotion was contagious.

The two men who were supposed to be the pillars of support spoke one after another.

Chu Yan: "Third sister is right, everyone has a life. We have many more escape routes than Zhou Guoshou. At worst, we can fly far away to live in the Northern Desert."

Chu Liang: "Hey, it's a pity that I failed in my studies."

The Chu family is short of someone who can speak in the court.

He reminded Chu Jinjin of something that was almost forgotten.

Blackhawk Cottage.

Come to think of it, I already know that my father is still unconscious, but didn't he agree that there would be some scholar?

If his father can take notice of him, there must be something extraordinary about that scholar.

Of course, it would be better to never contact them. With the current situation of the Chu family, it would be a death penalty to be involved in Black Eagle Village.

Li Xinzhi arrived at this time. He was dressed in black and had a black mask. He didn't sit in the mansion's sedan chair and came in from the back door of Chu's house.

The servant had already received the order and was taken directly to Chu Jinjin's yard.

After all, this kind of thing is fatal to a woman, so try not to let her see outsiders.

You can't stop others, but you can't stop Liu.

She had been holding back her words at the dinner table, and when she returned to the courtyard, she pestered Chu Jinjin again, lamenting that there were so many bellybands, why didn't she ask for details.

She personally brewed a pot of beauty-scented tea, which was inexpensive but extremely rare. It was brought by Chu Zujian from the Northern Desert. It is said that long-term drinking of this tea has particularly good effects on women. I don’t know if the effect is good or not, but it tastes very sweet.

Li Xinzhi's embarrassment during the day was gone. She took a sip and said, "Good tea. Thank you, Mrs. Liu."

Liu took out a bag like a magic trick and said with a smile: "My master said that the weather in the Northern Desert is cold and it is difficult for flowers and plants to grow. The women there have bad skin, but they are all in good health."

Liu is obviously good at creating a lively atmosphere. She has a natural and special aura that makes people unrecognizable.

Li Xinzhi smiled and said thoughtfully: "You have raised a good daughter."

Chu Jinjin didn't know where this boast came from. The two of them should be considered enemies now.

Mrs. Liu felt it accurately, and said with a smile: "Jinjin is born like this. She doesn't care about face. She only cares about her own happiness. Look at the Xu family, if it were an ordinary woman, she would probably commit suicide out of shame and anger. However, Jinjin didn't care and came directly to ask for help. dowry."

Li Xinzhi smiled bitterly: "That's right, if it were me, I probably wouldn't dare to do it."

"Our situation is different." Chu Jinjin handed over the bellyband and said softly, "The jade is returned to Zhao intact."

She didn't say anything about Gu Shouping's many bellybands. It was over. Talking about it would only increase her sadness.

Li Xinzhi's eyes were still red, and she stared at her bellyband. She finally woke up from the nightmare that had been haunting her for several years.

Ms. Liu wiped her tears and said, "Mrs. Li, you have to look forward and think about what to do in the future."

"Since my grandfather passed away, Zhou Guoshou has no fear anymore. He and I have been separated for many years. If it weren't for the contract and my sworn status, I would have divorced my wife long ago." Li Xinzhi smiled sadly, "Miss Chu San, Regarding the gold mine, I am powerless, and if I say something, it may be counterproductive."

Chu Jinjin nodded and looked at her deeply: "So?"

She had an intuition that since Li Xinzhi was here, there must be another way.

As the person next to her, even if she becomes an enemy today, she should have some secrets about Zhou Guoshou that no one knows about.

"The imperial court attaches great importance to gold mines. The outside world only knows about it, but not the details." Li Xinzhi did not answer directly, but said softly, "Miss Chu San, you are very powerful. You dare to go to Black Eagle Village alone, but do you know that the imperial court has A secret forbidden army, all of which are elites, dedicated to protecting high-ranking officials in the imperial court."

Chu Jinjin was a little surprised.

Think about it too.

The military has strength in numbers and can protect people in public places, but they cannot follow them all the time.

Mrs. Liu just took out the melon seeds and ate them while listening.

"There are people around Zhou Guoshou." Li Xinzhi said with a solemn expression, "Miss Chu San, it's not that I underestimate you. I have seen those people from a distance once. I don't know how to describe them. If you face them, do you have any chance of winning? "

Chu Jinjin thought about it carefully: "I should be able to protect myself."

She didn't dare to tell the truth.

For example, if there were two of them like the leader of Black Eagle Village, she would have no choice but to run.

Li Xinzhi revealed his real plan: "I don't know whether Zhou Guoshou received instructions from the imperial concubine in dealing with your family, but he belongs to the imperial concubine's camp, which means that it is inevitable that he will make a gesture."

Mrs. Liu seemed to have heard the climax of the story and asked anxiously: "What should we do?"

It is really a terrible thing to be worried about by a second-grade official with real power.

Li Xinzhi's voice suddenly became very low: "Zhou Guoshou has a secret account book."

From a humble family to where he is today, it is due to the Li family's contribution, and of course his own methods.

If you control the lifeblood of the mine, how can you avoid the transfer of profits? Who can survive alone?
The two had been husband and wife for more than ten years and had been together day and night. Li Xinzhi knew the existence of the ledger, where all the data handled by Zhou Guoshou was recorded in detail. He was cautious and counted every step he took.

Chu Jinjin understood what she meant: "Where is the account book?"

Li Xinzhi shook his head: "We have been separated for many years, but according to his habits, if nothing else, it should be in the secret compartment of the bedroom."

Liu asked the key question accurately: "How to get it? Isn't there some special forbidden army?"

Not even without the Imperial Guard.

Unlike a position like a city gate leader, Zhou Guoshou's residence must be guarded at all levels, and even if a bird goes in, it will never come back.

Chu Jinjin frowned.

She was confident in her skills, but it was a life-and-death struggle, and a situation like this was scarier than a room full of zombies.

Can't you live a good life?
No matter how important money is, it is not as important as your own life.

"Mrs. Li, I'm sorry, thank you for saying so much." Chu Jinjin spread her hands, "Let's forget about this. Let's think of other ways."

Li Xinzhi should mostly do it for himself.

She very much wanted to see the day when Zhou Guoshou fell into despair.

"Based on what I know about Zhou Guoshou, the gold mine is just the beginning. Unless your Chu family stays away from the capital." Li Xinzhi seemed very confident, her eyes lit up, "Zhou Guoshou likes beauty. Whenever new people come to each brothel, it is inconvenient for him to show up. , someone will be quietly brought to the house."

Mrs. Liu's eyes widened: "Ah, you want my daughter to pretend to be a brothel girl. That won't work. How can she get married after word gets out?"

This touched her bottom line.

How could a decent girl enter a place like that?
Li Xinzhi looked into Chu Jinjin's eyes, also waiting for her answer, and said word by word: "I have a very reliable relationship, and I guarantee that I can send you in. With Miss Chu San's skills, I can deal with Zhou Guoshou with ease. He is such a person." Worried, afraid of pain, afraid of death, as long as he has an account book, he will obey your mercy."

Chu Jinjin felt that Li Xinzhi was really crazy.

To think that he could come up with such a method.

But she loved the craziness.
