A time-travel story of a peasant girl getting rich

Chapter 258 Qianjia Village, Widow Zhao

The servant nodded affirmatively, Madam, it is just as you think, he was sure and certain.

What did the Seventh Young Master want? Because she was poor, because she killed her husband, or because she was old enough.

Yes, it must be because she is old enough that the Seventh Young Master wants to find a mother for himself.

"Go and ask about the widow's reputation."

"Yes."

What is this? Oh, go back and tell the prince. No matter what, this cannot be hidden from everyone. Gambling can be a big or small crime, but adultery with a widow may bring disgrace to the Marquis's mansion.

This matter is of great importance and concerns the Marquis' Mansion, so she has to take it seriously.

She wanted to discuss with Xiao Ran how to expose this scandal and leave them alone.

The old man and father-in-law are still the two heads of the family, and they are in charge of everything.

Although it was a rare opportunity to go out, he had no intention of taking a walk and hurried home with his companions.

After finishing his study, Xiao Ran returned to his room and found that his wife looked unhappy. Is the hot pot shop not doing well? No, he passed by the door two days ago and saw that it was full of customers.

Send the servants away.

"what happened?"

"My Lord, I saw Old Seven when I went out today."

"Can't hold on? You've lasted a few days longer than I expected." We grew up together, so we don't know each other's character.

"No." Lin Xiaomi pulled him close to her and whispered, "I saw him with a married woman, and I was worried, so I asked someone to follow him.

The servant discovered that Lao Qi not only had an affair with a woman, but also frequented the casino.

Xiao Ran's face darkened visibly and his temples were throbbing.

"According to the servant's inquiries, the woman is a widow. She is from Qianjia Village on the outskirts of the city and is ten years older than my seventh brother."

Lin Xiaomi couldn't understand it either. Was Lao Qi crazy? He wasn't bad looking, so why did he fall for an old lady?

If he wanted a woman, he could just promote the maidservant to be his concubine. Why did he have to debase himself like this?

Yes, a good young man and an old aunt, in her opinion, he was degrading himself.

Xiao Ran's face was so ugly that it could no longer be described. He clenched his fists and tried his best to suppress his anger.

"Even if he doesn't care about the Marquis' Mansion anymore, isn't he afraid of getting into trouble and being thrown into a pig cage?"

Every word was spoken with gritted teeth.

Lin Xiaomi suddenly realized, yes, in this era, adultery is a serious crime and the penalty is to be thrown into a pig cage.

No, the men in the pig cage also need to be dipped, not just the women, right?

She admired herself for being able to think about these random things.

"I'll have someone check to see what the widow's reputation is. My Lord, what should we do about this?"

Lao Qi, are you lacking in maternal love? !

"I'm going to find my parents!"

"Wait a minute." Lin Xiaomi grabbed him.

"How are you going to tell your parents about this?"

Xiao Ran looked at her: "What do you think?"

"This matter must not be made public. It is best to handle it quietly."

Xiao Ran is not stupid, so he definitely cannot make a big fuss. If he does, it will only bring shame to them and the reputation of the Marquisate. Who knows who the Seventh Old Man is? People are looking at the Marquisate of Xiao.

"My Lord, there is a very good saying, 'It is easy to change a country, but difficult to change one's nature.' This time, we were lucky to have seen it. We can't keep an eye on him every day in the future. If he still doesn't change his temper and gets into big trouble, what should we do?"

Lin Xiaomi pursed her lips. Don't blame her for being cruel. Such a time bomb would do more harm than good if it stayed in the Marquis' Mansion.

The Marquis' Mansion belongs to my father-in-law, mother-in-law, husband, and brother-in-law. What does it have to do with them?

Having been abused by Old Mrs. Li for many years, she really, really hates those relatives who are related to her by blood. There are so few of them who are kind-hearted.

"I'm going to my parents' room now, you just wait here. Let the people who followed me today shut up."

"it is good."

Xiao Zhen couldn't believe what he heard. You bastard, you are so naughty at such a young age. You need to be taught a lesson.

"I'm going to my father's place. You go back first."

"it is good."

"How does he know the widow? A young master from the same village?"

How could two people who had nothing in common get together? Sun didn't understand.

If the Marquis and Lin Dashan had not cooperated in the beginning, how would they have known Lin Xiaomi and had the subsequent contact.

"There is a problem. I'll ask someone to investigate." Xiao Zhen narrowed his eyes, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. If anyone dared to set a trap for his people and deliberately do bad things, he would never let them off easily.

Xiao Zhen was filled with rage. He rolled up his sleeves and walked to his father's yard in the night.

"Why is he here so late?" At this hour, the whole family knew that he had already gone to bed, and his son would never come to disturb him if there was nothing important.

"Let him in." He was too lazy to get dressed again and went to the study to discuss matters.

"What's the matter that makes you so impatient?" The old man, who rarely saw his son looking angry and impatient, asked in surprise.

Xiao Zhen pursed his lips, with a sour face and said nothing.

Aunt Chen, who served the old man, was very tactful and took the servants away, leaving the space for them.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Seeing his father's calm and composed look, Xiao Zhen got angry. Over the years, he had to force so many family members together and refused to separate the households. He had to keep so many people entangled together.

It has been said long ago that too many people will lead to chaos. Can he control it? People are greedy. The better he is, the bigger these people's greed will be.

"Dad, the seventh brother has caused such a mess. He's a bastard and is involved in whoring and gambling." Xiao Zhen sat down at the table and said unhappily.

"Hasn't he been studying hard in the study recently?" He has seen everyone's recent diligence.

Xiao Zhen taunted, "You must be studying hard in the casino!"

Old man:......

"I'll call someone over to ask, if you really dare to go into the casino, don't even think about leaving again."

As for whoring, the old man didn't care at all. Every man was lustful, especially his unmarried grandson. It was normal for him to be curious about women. He didn't care if he didn't have a child.

"Oh, Dad, why don't you ask who he is whoring with?"

"A young lady from a wealthy family? If you really ruin the reputation of a young lady, just marry her home." The old man didn't care. It was not a big deal. It was not worth mobilizing so many troops. His son was too broad-minded and could not tolerate his half-brother.

He didn't even think about how many years he had left to live, and whether they could wait until he died before dividing. He just wanted to enjoy his old age in peace, with his children and grandchildren around him.

"What you said makes a lot of sense, so let's marry her. Tomorrow, Dad will send someone to Qianjia Village on the outskirts of the city to propose marriage."

"Qianjia Village?" The old man frowned. He was not satisfied with the place name. The villagers said that she was at most the daughter of a landlord, how could she be worthy of his grandson?

"Yes, Qianjia Village, the widow Zhao." Xiao Zhen spoke each word loud and powerful.
