"The old lady wants to borrow it for two days."

"Ah... Sister Kezhu, the young master won't let anyone touch his book. He'll blame me when he comes back."

Ah Qi quickly refused. Everyone in the mansion knew that the young master valued his words more than anything else.

"Who is the old lady? Is it someone else? Don't you know that the second young master is the most filial to the lady?

The first thing I did when I bought the storybook last time was to show it to the old lady."

Kezhu thought this guy had a pig brain.

After hearing what Kezhu said, Ah Qi thought about it carefully and felt that what she said made sense.

"Then wait a moment, sister. I'll go in and get it for you."

He took it out and handed it to Kezhu, and said worriedly:

"Sister, please be careful. Don't get it dirty or damaged. Otherwise, I'll skin you alive."

Kezhu saw his painful expression and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the old lady also cherishes the storybook."

Only then did he turn around and report to the old lady.

Old Madam Zhou was a happy woman. When she was young, her family was well-off and she was spoiled by her parents and brothers.

After getting married, Mr. Zhou doted on them and the couple never had a quarrel in their lives.

Now she has grandchildren and a filial son, and she has never suffered in her life.

Now when she suddenly saw this book, she, who has a low tear point, kept crying for the heroine Yao Niang in the book.

Sometimes he asked why Yao Niang was so stupid, sometimes he scolded the scholar for being ungrateful, and sometimes he lamented the weakness of Yao Niang's family.

While eating, the philanthropist Zhou Chongyang noticed that his mother was in a bad mood.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood?"

His question made the old lady even angrier, for no other reason than that Zhou Chongyang had a concubine.

"Scumbag!" Mrs. Zhou blurted out.

?

Everyone present looked puzzled, not understanding what was wrong with the old lady.

For no reason, she called the old man a scumbag.

Mrs. Zhou was even more puzzled.

Does my husband want to take a concubine?

"Mom, what's wrong with me? Do you think I'm a scumbag? Have I done anything wrong recently?"

After saying this, he looked at the people around him unconfidently for confirmation.

"Men who take concubines are all scumbags."

......

Everyone then understood why the old lady scolded the master.

Zhou Chongyang felt that he was wronged. It was just a concubine.

As for being called a scumbag?

It was a gift from someone when he was negotiating a business deal, and he felt embarrassed to refuse so he just accepted it.

Besides, I am not a person who is obsessed with lust or beauty, so why do I become a scumbag in his mother's eyes?

He suspected that his wife had whispered something to his mother, and planned to ask her after dinner.

As a result, after dinner, before he had time to look for his wife, the housekeeper came.

He said that today his mother's maid went to find Ah Qi and borrowed a book from his second brother's study.

His mother and his second brother had a common hobby: storytelling novels. He knew that his mother might be unhappy because of the storytelling novels.

Zhou Chongyang was curious, so he asked his followers to ask Ah Qi what the storybook was, as he also wanted to see it.

After the attendant went to inquire, he ran to Yunshang Book Pavilion and grabbed a copy. When he came back, Zhou Chongyang was checking the account book in the study.

When he came back, he didn't even look at the account book, but took the book from his hand and started reading.

Like everyone else, he noticed the change in font at first glance.

But he knew that Yunshang Book Pavilion had a complicated background, so he would not be jealous until he had watched for an hour.

I was so angry that I threw the storybook away and started cursing.

"Who wrote this harmful thing? Isn't it causing chaos in the family's harem?"

No wonder his mother scolded him. According to the thinking of the woman in this book, he would have to call himself a scumbag.

Of course, he also admitted that the scholar in the book was a scumbag who made his wife, who had shared his hardships, his concubine.

But many things can be negotiated, but the woman in the book divorced with her child without even negotiating.

Isn’t she afraid that her child and herself will be criticized?

Also, even if she succeeds in getting a divorce, how will you raise the child in the future?

It's so short-sighted and selfish. It doesn't consider the children at all.

This scholar will have a high position and a good salary in the future, and her children will definitely be the beneficiaries. Can't she understand this?

This book made Zhou Chongyang very angry. He thought: Just wait, the person who wrote this book will definitely be scolded so much that he won’t dare to go out.

In fact, this was indeed the case. The next day, several scholars stood at the door of Yunshang Book Pavilion and asked Chen Zongwen who his relative was.

Writing such a sinister book destroys family harmony.

Chen Zongwen responded with sweat all over his face, saying that he really couldn't say anything.

There are regulations in the bookstore that the author’s personal information cannot be disclosed.

The scholars were filled with righteous indignation and felt that this man was a disaster.

Of course, there are also those who like him, such as Lu Xinzhu’s best friend, Yang Yunmeng, the daughter of the county magistrate.

She also liked to read storybooks. Because she couldn't go out, she went to Lu's house and Lu Xinzhu and kept stealing Lu Siwei's storybooks.

Like Zhou Mingyang, Lu Siwei went to the academy on his own and asked his servant Yuan Ning to buy it for him and put it at home to read during his rest period.

Unexpectedly, Yang Yunmeng learned the news right after she bought it. She came to Lu's house and the two sisters watched it together.

The two of them cried and laughed while watching it.
