The two elders of the Zhong family originally wanted to remind their eldest son not to be deceived and misled by his second daughter-in-law.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Yunxiao told them directly that his sister-in-law did not seduce him, but he himself had evil intentions and fell in love with his brother's widow.

In particular, before Zhong Yunxiao left, he reminded the two elders not to interfere in the affairs between him and Bai Chi.

Especially, don't arrange blind dates for him that he doesn't even know about.

No, it should be said that it is not a reminder, but a warning.

Xiao Hei was a little confused when he heard the two elders angrily cursing Bai Chi as a vixen after Zhong Yunxiao left.

"Master, they weren't so harsh to the original owner before, were they?"

"The original owner didn't seduce my uncle."

Well, okay, it seems that the master is indeed a vixen.

This is very justified and self-aware.

I don’t know if she is really a fox spirit, but in the eyes of the two elders of the Zhong family, Bai Chi is not a good person now.

After all, in their hearts, their eldest son is handsome and good at business, and is worthy of any rich girl.

And now, let alone a rich girl, they would even accept a man from an honest family. But they actually fell in love with the second son’s wife. How ridiculous!

Although everyone in the county knew that his wife married into the Zhong family after the second son died, she was only the second son's wife in name only, and would be buried in the Zhong family's ancestral tomb with the second son in the future!

Such an immoral thing actually happened in their Zhong family!

It’s not like they can’t afford to marry a daughter-in-law!

Xiao Hei watched as Mrs. Zhong cursed angrily. She was angry that Bai Chi had ruined the Zhong family's reputation, and she was also angry that she was warned by her eldest son, which made her lose face.

Not only Mrs. Zhong, but Mr. Zhong also looked unhappy, but he just kept a gloomy face and didn't show it.

Obviously, the eldest son asked them not to interfere in this matter because of an outsider, and both of them found it hard to accept.

Unfortunately, the Zhong family is now controlled by Mr. Zhong, although it appears that he is still in charge. In fact, everything has long been in the hands of Zhong Yunxiao.

Especially regarding the outside business, Mr. Zhong knew almost nothing about it. They could not check and balance Zhong Yunxiao, so they could only passively accept Zhong Yunxiao's decisions.

For example, right now, the servant brought the news that the eldest young master had gone to the second young master's yard to teach the second young master's wife how to look at the account book...

The eldest young master even asked someone to use his private treasury to buy a shop and gave it to the second young master's wife to entertain her and prevent her from being bored at home every day.

The eldest young master also said that the second young master's wife should be taken good care of and should not miss out on the monthly allowance. He also said that the second young master's wife was afraid of the cold, so more charcoal should be sent to the yard every month.

The young master said again...

All in all, the master and his wife were heartbroken after hearing this. The eldest son was clearly telling everyone in the house that he had set his eyes on the second son's wife!

"Unfilial son! Where does he put the reputation of my Zhong family?"

Finally, Mr. Zhong became so angry that he threw the teacup in his hand to the ground, his chest heaving violently with anger.

"Only those who are too poor to marry a wife would marry their brother's widow. What is he doing? How will others look at my Zhong family in the future?"

Mr. Zhong was so angry that his face turned red and his eyes were wide open. The old lady was so scared that she didn't care about being angry anymore. She hurried forward to comfort him and told him not to get sick from anger.

Just at this moment, the servant came forward with a small medicine bottle.

"Master, this is what the eldest young master asked me to bring. He said that if you are angry, I will give it to you."

Master Zhong frowned and asked, "What is it?"

"...Heart-protecting pills. The eldest young master said that the master is not in good health. Don't get angry and make him sick. These are heart-protecting pills that were brought back from the capital. They are a recipe carefully researched by the palace physician, specifically for treating symptoms caused by anger."

The servant lowered his head and repeated the eldest young master's instructions in detail, holding the medicine bottle in his hand, not daring to look up.

Especially when I heard the master's breathing become heavier due to anger, I was so anxious that I broke out in a sweat.

Fortunately, the medicine bottle in her hand was taken away, so Mrs. Zhong directly fed Mr. Zhong the heart-protecting pill.

You know what, the effect is really good. Mr. Zhong's complexion instantly looked much better.

"He still has a conscience."

Don’t forget your parents just because you have a wife.

No, I don’t have a wife yet!

But no matter what the two elders thought or how unhappy they were, they couldn't stop this.

The second son’s wife must stay in the Zhong family, the eldest son and his family can no longer take care of her.

I just hope the boss will consider the reputation of the Zhong family and not make things too embarrassing.

"Alas, if I had known this earlier, I would have let the eldest son marry Bai Chi, and bought a little girl to marry the second son, so that he could still be buried in the ancestral tomb."

Old Madam Zhong sighed deeply, feeling that she should have asked one more question at the beginning.

Master Zhong snorted coldly.

"It's not like the boss hasn't seen Bai Chi before. I think he's just mentally ill. He just likes people who have been married!"

Zhong Yunxiao didn’t know how the two elders of the Zhong family would react. He was currently teaching Bai Chi how to read the account books.

Fortunately, considering the different identities of the two people and not wanting gossip to spread so early, they taught in the yard.

It had been cloudy all day, but now it was afternoon and the sun was out. The sunlight shone on Bai Chi's face as he lowered his eyes to look at the account book, casting a shadow under his long eyelashes.

As Zhong Yunxiao spoke, his voice slowed down, and his gaze stayed on Bai Chi for longer and longer periods of time.

Then he saw Bai Chi suddenly laugh, as if she thought of something funny. Her bright smile instantly bloomed, making him lose his mind.

Bai Chi suppressed his laughter and looked up at Zhong Yunxiao beside him.

"Brother, can I ask you something?"

The bright eyes were watery and clear like a spring, looking straight into Zhong Yunxiao's heart.
