PNB Chapter 117 It would be better if she died
Chapter 117 It would be better if she died
Wang Chimei and Li Tianjiao were both dressed up and waiting in the courtyard early, but after waiting and waiting, the sun went down and Chen Yi still didn't come.
Li Tianjiao had been hungry for a long time, but Wang Chimei had no intention of eating, so she could only fast along with him.
When it was time to light the lamp, Fang Cao finally plucked up the courage to persuade her: "Miss, I think I won't be able to come for a while. Why don't you have a meal first? I will be here in the evening."
With a "snap", Fang Cao didn't dare to cover his face when he was knocked to the ground. He just quickly got up and knelt down, putting his forehead on the ground and not daring to speak.
It was a coincidence that Chen Yi, who had just walked in, saw this scene.
Wang Chimei also saw it, and couldn't help but panic. She quickly pretended to be calm and said: "When will the master come, how can you, a maid, tell you? This slap will teach you a lesson. This is the capital, not Ningjiang Town. Be careful of trouble." Mouth."
Li Tianjiao stood aside and couldn't help but want to applaud Wang Chimei.
Sure enough, after hearing her words, Chen Yi's aura was completely different from before.
"Chi Mei." Chen Yi called out, and Wang Chimei pretended to have just seen him, holding up her skirt, she ran over and threw herself into his arms.
This kind of behavior of Meng Lang is impossible among regular ladies in the capital, but Wang Chimei's behavior did not annoy Chen Yi, but instead pleased him.
Without him, it's just because Wang Chimei is just an outsider, a plaything, why do you need so many rules?
I have to say that these two dogs are both male and female.
Li Tianjiao was wise enough not to come forward and disturb the two of them, so as not to be resented by Wang Chimei.
Wang Chimei slumped in Chen Yi's arms as if she had no bones. She couldn't even remember that she now had a fake son.
It was when Chen Yi passed by Li Tianjiao that she noticed the little man bowing his head.
"What is this?" Without waiting for Wang Chimei's reply, Li Tianjiao immediately answered: "The child has met his father."
He lowered his waist a little more, but it didn't work even if he wanted her to kneel down.
Chen Yi then remembered that he also had a child.
Although in his heart, his child is much more noble than Wang Chimei.
Seeing that Li Tianjiao answered appropriately, Wang Chimei felt slightly relieved: "It's good that Brother Jin can win my favor."
"Head up."
Chen Yi's voice was very low, but he was very tall. Li Tianjiao could only raise his neck to let him see his "unparalleled face" clearly.
The courtyard was brightly lit, and Chen Yi took a clear look at Li Tianjiao's appearance, feeling slightly happy.
No one wants their child to be ugly.
"Well, come in with me." Chen Yi said and walked in first.
Li Tianjiao followed with his short legs.
Wang Chimei hung on Chen Yi's arm and turned to look at Li Tianjiao, the warning in her eyes ready to come out.
Li Tianjiao lowered his head in fear.
The moment she turned around, Wang Chimei had a shy look on her face again.
"Master, have you had dinner?" Wang Chimei said coquettishly.
Chen Yi naturally ate it, and was just about to say it.
I heard a sound coming from behind me: "Gulu-lu-lu-lu-lu--"
Displeasure flashed across Wang Chimei's face. Chen Yi turned her head slightly and saw Li Tianjiao holding his belly with his little hands, looking like a frightened deer, as if he had made some huge mistake.
It was obvious that the person in front of him had not eaten and was unhappy that this woman dared to starve his child.
He whispered: "I happen to be hungry too, please pass on the food."
Wang Chimei didn't eat, but she didn't dare to be lazy in the kitchen, and she didn't dare to be lazy because the master might come.
Therefore, Chen Yi said that the meal was passed on, and within a quarter of an hour, more than a dozen plates of hot dishes were served.
Seeing this, Wang Chimei felt relieved and asked Fang Cao to reward everyone in the kitchen.
As a merchant, the Wang family naturally lacks money the most, but Chen Yi still asks people to send things every month, which is just to support the Wang family.
They are indispensable when you really want to spend a lot of money.
Wang Hanmo's head was spinning rapidly. He naturally knew Chen Yi's intention and was very happy with it.
Scholars, farmers, industrialists and merchants, even if they wear gold and silver, are still looked down upon by most people.
As long as you gain power, let alone the Wang family, even daily business will be much easier to do.
You must know that the business tax reaches 70%, and there are still some things to deal with. In the end, it is just a small profit.
Doing business is a big gamble, so not many people really make a fortune in business. This means that those who sell pork can’t afford pork, and those who buy cloth don’t have the luxury of clothes.
In addition to the constraints of social status, there is also reluctance.
So Wang Hanmo sent his own sister to Chen Yi's bed, not feeling ashamed but feeling proud.
It's sad and deplorable.

After Chen Yi sat down, neither Wang Chimei nor Li Tianjiao dared to sit down. It was only after he had spoken that he was qualified to sit at the dinner table.
Li Tianjiao didn't understand. Wang Chimei was enjoying herself at home and drinking spicy food without having to look at other people's faces.
Now that she has found a man who is more than ten years older than her, she still has to look at his appearance. Does she really feel uncomfortable?
There was nothing to say at the table. Li Tianjiao was hungry but chewed slowly.
When he came in earlier, Huan'er had been asked to go to the kitchen to eat first, but Fang Cao was pitiful and had to stand aside to wait.
Li Tianjiao saw her swallowing saliva and hoped that she would not be so unlucky that her stomach rang, otherwise she would not be able to avoid the fatal disaster.
Chen Yi took a few symbolic bites. He was not hungry in the first place, so he always looked at Li Tianjiao who was eating obediently and gracefully.
The more I look at it, the more beautiful it becomes, and I feel even more joyful.
None of the three children in the family have such outstanding appearance. They all look like their mother and have not inherited any of his charm.
Thinking like this, I glanced at Wang Chimei, who was also pretending to eat, and came to the conclusion: She didn't look like his mother, but more like herself.
The straight bridge of his nose was exactly the same as his. Others were the mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, and the more she looked at him, the more satisfied she became.
Chen Yi is the father who likes Jiao Er more and more.
The thought of taking the child back to raise him has already arisen in his heart.
A truly "outstanding" child cannot be in the name of an outsider.
Wang Chimei definitely didn't expect that Chen Yi really wanted to take someone back to the house, but the person he picked up was not her.
After Li Tianjiao finished eating, Chen Yi asked: "Did your mother teach you the Four Books and Five Classics?"
Li Tianjiao glanced at him and said respectfully: "The Wang family is a merchant, and the masters don't want to come to teach their children, and they can't be bought in the market. So I learned the most basic "Thousand-Character Classic" and "Three-Character Classic".
Wang Chimei's hands were clenched into fists under the table, and the veins on the back of her hands were bulging.
Who told this kid to talk nonsense?
He could only use his eyes to stop Li Tianjiao from saying any more shocking words.
Li Tianjiao didn't care, now was the best opportunity to make a fool of himself.
He added: "I now know the Thousand-Character Classic and the Three-Character Classic by heart."
As he spoke, he jumped off the table, put his hands on his back, and began to shake his head: "That's right, I'll help you say it. I'm just waiting for you to be fooled, and I'm so ignorant..."
Suddenly Chen Yi threw his chopsticks and smashed the dishes with a clanking sound.
Wang Chimei was illiterate, so she naturally didn't understand what Li Tianjiao was reciting, but she only felt that it looked decent.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yi would be so angry.
Li Tianjiao stopped talking, with a look of horror on his face, like a little white rabbit falling into a wolf's mouth.
Chen Yi knew she was out of character and suppressed her anger and said, "What kind of mess are you carrying?"
Li Tianjiao said with an innocent face: "It's in the book!" As he said that, he actually took out a copy of "The Thousand Character Essay" from his arms and handed it to Chen Yi.
Chen Yi reached out and took it, thinking that the Wang family had bought pirated books.
When I opened the first page, it read: "The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, and the universe is primitive." The sun and moon are full, and the stars and constellations are arranged. ]
It was the same as when he was a child.
Suddenly I felt resentful. As expected, I couldn't have too much expectations since I had the blood of a businessman in my body.
It would be better to continue to stay outside.
"Let's see what's at the beginning?" Chen Yi is a scholar, so he won't take it out on the book, but just asks Li Tianjiao to read it.
Li Tianjiao looked at the words he pointed at and said: "The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is primitive. The sun and the moon are waxing, and the stars are arrayed..."
Chen Yi was surprised: "Don't you know this? What kind of messy things were you carrying just now?"
Li Tianjiao pursed his lips in grievance: "I just said [recite it backwards]."
Chen Yi didn't react at first. He didn't realize it until Li Tianjiao turned the book to the last page.
This is really memorizing it backwards. He also memorizes this book very well, but it really makes him memorize it backwards...
Chen Yi tried it in her mind. It was difficult. It was too difficult.
After closing the book, the look in Li Tianjiao's eyes was like looking at a golden pimple.
This is his Chen Yi's son, how can he live outside?
At this moment, he wanted to hold Li Tianjiao and go home immediately.
"Your name is..." Chen Yi felt embarrassed for a moment because he didn't know what his son's name was.
Wang Chimei finally interjected: "The big name is waiting for you to decide, the nickname is [Brother Jin]."
"Brother Jin, what a good name." Isn't the little man with pink makeup and jade in front of me just glittering gold? "Brother Jin, please wait until dad returns home to get one for you."
Li Tianjiao obeyed and yawned at the right time.
Wang Chimei liked Li Tianjiao again this time, he was a wise man.
After all, a moment of spring is worth a thousand pieces of gold, and she must have another son as soon as possible.
As for this fake one, it seems to be quite popular with me at the moment. I’ll keep it for now, and I’ll probably give my real wife a hard blow in the future.
Chen Yi saw that Li Tianjiao's eyelids seemed to be really fighting, and he was so sleepy that he asked her to go back to sleep.
Li Tianjiao was not pretending, she was really sleepy. She didn't sleep much last night. This three-year-old body has reached its limit.
When I returned to my room, Huan'er had already returned. His face was not sleepy at all, but looked worried.
Probably because she was afraid that her identity would be discovered.
Li Tianjiao waved her to go to bed, saying that everything was going well.
Except for the two maids who were frightened, everyone else slept soundly that night.
At breakfast, the mother-in-law came to ask Li Tianjiao to get up and go to the main hall to eat.
Li Tianjiao looked sadly at the dark sky.
Seeing this, the mother-in-law said: "I am a second-grade official and need to go to court in the morning. This is a suburb, please hurry up."
Li Tianjiao could only let others control her outfit, and Huan'er carried her to the main hall.
When he was almost there, he put it down and let her go on her own.
Li Tianjiao felt like his steps were floating.
But the kitchen got up earlier and the breakfast was rich, which made Li Tianjiao feel a little better.
I drank millet porridge, ate baby greens, and had a poached egg.
There are also several plates of meat dishes and appetizers, pickled beans, spicy cabbage, etc.
There were only the two of them at the dinner table. Wang Chimei was not there. She probably couldn't get up, otherwise she would not miss any opportunity to get close to Chen Yi.
"Dad, good morning." Li Tianjiao said casually, completely losing his formality from yesterday.
If the system hadn't reminded her that there were still two days until the task was completed, she thought she would have had more appetite.
After all, Chen Yi came from a wealthy family and had many rules since he was a child. He married a well-matched wife, so he was naturally very serious about his children.
The three children have grown up now, but they have never said hello to him like this, and they actually felt a sense of closeness for a while.
He gave Li Tianjiao a piece of pork belly and said, "The fattest one." He looked doting on it.
Li Tianjiao looked at the fatty meat on the plate. He didn't want to eat it so early in the morning, but he could only pick it up and swallow it whole with the millet porridge amidst Chen Yi's concern.
I almost got a lump in my throat.
Then Chen Yi said: "How about taking a carriage ride with daddy later?"
Li Tianjiao woke up instantly, his eyes so bright that they seemed to be able to emit lasers.
Very good! I can finally leave Wang Chimei.
In Chen Yi's eyes, this was a sign that the child wanted to get close to him, and she was even more happy in her heart.
Brother Jin is one year younger than his eldest grandson, so he can be considered old.
So he planned to take the person back directly without notifying his wife, and he would put the person in her name.
A genius like Jin Geer cannot be buried, and being a son from outside the family is even more detrimental to his future career.
At this moment, Chen Yi had planned the rest of Jin Geer's life, but unfortunately the real Jin Geer was already dead.
When Wang Chimei woke up, she didn't even wait to be happy when Fang Cao reported that Brother Jin had returned home with me.
He was stunned for a long time and said, "Have you arranged a place for me to go?"
Fang Cao didn't dare to lie and could only shake his head. He was ready to be beaten. His muscles were so broken that he didn't even dare to breathe.
Wang Chimei didn't hit her this time, but her eyes were frighteningly cold.
Fang Cao glanced at it and lowered her head again, because she knew this was a sign of murder.
But this time I don’t know who to kill.
For a long time, Wang Chimei got out of bed with her bare feet, and immediately someone dressed her. They all moved carefully, fearing to offend her.
"What about the guard boy at [Wuxiangyuan]?"
"Go back to Miss, I haven't found it yet."
"Look! Keep looking for me! If you want to see the person alive, you want to see the body if you die!"
"Miss, do you think Nanny Zhang was killed by a servant?"
Wang Chimei got dressed, cleaned her face and sat on the dressing stool. Fang Cao immediately picked up a comb to comb her hair.
"This mama is indeed a homicide, but it was not the crime of this young man."
"Miss, what do you think?" Fang Cao knew that he had to speak up when he should speak. What Wang Chimei hated most was that everyone looked like a mute.
She once silenced a personal maid: "Since you don't like talking so much, then just be a mute."
Now the maid is still staying in Ningjiang to suppress Yexiang in the mansion.
Wang Chimei played with a strand of hair and said, "The young man and Aunt Zhang have no grudges or hatred. Why is this so?"
"Maybe it's because of the money?" Fang Cao reasoned.
"Didn't you see that the gold hairpin on Nanny Zhang's head is still stuck?"
Fang Cao didn't even look directly at Nanny Zhang, so naturally she didn't see her.
But he still went along and said, "Since it wasn't for money and he didn't kill the person, why did he run away?"
"Of course he was killed too!" As he said this, he glanced at Fang Cao, who immediately stopped talking and concentrated on dressing her up.
I cursed in my heart: Alas, the job of serving crazy bitches is really not done by humans. It would be nice if she died too.
