Chapter 601: Human Life is at Stake

After listening to Zhang Juexia's complaints, Shen Liang didn't dare to say anything, but he was thinking in his heart, no wonder the lady was able to make the business so big, it turned out that her brain was different from others.

How can a man and a woman who don’t know each other be so unreserved?

If I start talking to Zhang Xiuer right away, wouldn't she think I'm not steady?

Seeing that Chen Liang was silent, Zhang Juexia sighed, "Forget it, forget it, why should I be so anxious about your lifelong event?

I tell you, if you like a girl, you should act quickly.

If you don’t like it, just ignore what I said.”

Shen Liang's face flushed, and he said shyly, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid that the girl doesn't like me..."

Zhang Juexia saw Shen Liang's expression and knew that he had something in mind. "It seems that Master Zhang is quite satisfied with you today. Tomorrow I will go to see Old Madam Shen and ask her to ask Miss Xiu'er what she thinks."

Shen Liang quickly bowed to Zhang Juexia, "Thank you so much, Madam."

"Why thank you? As long as you work hard, it's worth it even if I break my legs for your lifelong happiness."

The two men walked towards the carriage while talking. Someone came hurriedly from the opposite side. If Shen Liang hadn't reacted quickly, Zhang Juexia would have been hit again.

Shen Liang got angry instantly, "Didn't you have eyes when you walked? Didn't you see there was a pregnant woman here?"

Although the man opposite was anxious, he apologized politely.

Zhang Juexia didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he signaled Shen Liang to stop talking.

They didn't pursue the matter, but the man opposite showed no sign of wanting to leave.

Chen Liang glared at him, "Are you sick? You were the one who was in a hurry just now, and you are the one standing here now.

I tell you, we have things to do! Get out of here now."

"This young man may be young, but he has a bad temper. Don't panic, don't panic. Please let me finish my words and I'll leave."

As the man spoke, he calmly threw a painting from his arms. When the painting unfolded, Zhang Juexia and Shen Liang were stunned.

"I wonder if any of you have seen this person?"

Zhang Juexia and Shen Liang exchanged glances, and Shen Liang was about to say, "We haven't met before."

The man started talking to himself again, "I am from the Chen family in Beijing. The man in the painting is our master. A while ago, the servants were not paying attention and let this master escape.

We are here to retrieve the master on the orders of my young master.

Our people found out that my uncle had been seen in a restaurant in Shitou Lane, but then disappeared.

But what?

The man glanced at Zhang Juexia's belly again, and Shen Liang was so angry that he wanted to slap him, "We have never seen the person you are talking about."

After saying that, Shen Liang dodged and let Zhang Juexia go first.

"Don't misunderstand me, don't misunderstand me. I also planned to take the portrait to the theater to inquire.

It’s just that our people found out that my uncle left with a pregnant woman, so I…”

Shen Liang turned around and glanced at the man, "We haven't seen the person you are talking about. My wife has important things to do and has no time to chat with you."

After the carriage had gone a long way, Zhang Juexia asked, "Chen Liang, do you think what this man said is true or false?"

"I don't know! But?"

Chen Liang hesitated for a moment, and Zhang Juexia became impatient. "Chen Liang, when did you learn to speak half-heartedly? Hurry up and speak!"

“The Chen family that person just mentioned, if I’m not mistaken, should be a wealthy family in the capital.

His family's business is very large, and they also have business dealings with the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Zhang Juexia's eyes widened, "So this Chen family is an imperial merchant!"

“Well, they do business not only with the royal family, but also with the common people. Anyway, their business is huge.

Madam, let me put it this way. I will go and ask around to see if what this person said is true or not.

If it's true, maybe we did a good thing unintentionally!

Our business will only get better if we can be associated with the Chen family."

Zhang Juexia was not very surprised after hearing what Chen Liang said, "Chen Liang, you must find out the truth about this matter. After all, human lives are at stake!"

Shen Liang looked at Zhang Juexia in confusion, "Madam, why do you say that?"

At this moment, Shen Liang looked at Zhang Juexia as if he were looking at Xiaobai. "Shen Liang, you have been working in the Shen Mansion for many years. There are many cases of wealthy families fighting for power and profit. Maybe this gentleman was driven crazy by someone!"

Shen Liang nodded slightly, but still refuted Zhang Juexia’s words, “Madam, although I have been working in the Shen Mansion for many years, the old lady is wise!

Our Shen Mansion is very clean, there is no such mess at all.

From the masters to the servants, no one dared to act like a demon."

"Doesn't the Shen Mansion have Old Madam Shen? We don't know what other mansions are like!"

"That's right, Madam. I'll take you home first. I'll go and find out about the Chen family."

"That's fine, Shen Liang, remember to find out clearly, it's a human life after all!"

"knew."

When Zhang Juexia arrived home, Ye Beixiu had just returned home.

Zhang Juexia asked curiously, "Why did you come back just now?"

Ye Beixiu told Zhang Juexia, "Before I even walked out of the gate of the Shen Mansion, I ran into the old man who was coming back from going out. He took me to the study and had a long chat with me about life."

"Any results?"

"Of course I have gained something, my lady. To be honest, it's all thanks to you.

If you weren't on good terms with the old lady, Master Shen, as the head of the Shen family, would probably look down on me, a hunter from the mountains, let alone sit down and talk to me."

"We are husband and wife and are one, there is no need to worry about whether we are benefiting from it or not.

My husband, after all, I have benefited from you. Ever since you passed the imperial examination, everyone has changed the way they address me from Madam to Madam."

"It's also because I'm useless. Today, my master said that if I hadn't participated in the military imperial examination, and if I passed but didn't want to continue taking the exam, if I was lucky, I might be able to get a job as a county magistrate.

But the military imperial examination is difficult.

In the military camp, if you have never been on the battlefield and have never made military achievements, it is difficult to gain a foothold."

"That's already good. Isn't that the reason Uncle Liu asked you to take the martial arts exam?

Besides, my belly is getting bigger and bigger, and I’m afraid I’ll have less energy in the future.

From now on, our family business will be handed over to you."

"I will not let my wife down."

The two of them stayed together for a while, and then Ye Beixiu remembered to ask Chen Liang, "Madam, what do you think of Chen Liang?"

"I don't know. It seems that Shen Liang has taken a liking to the girl, but I don't know what she thinks.

You said Shen Liang was stupid. The old lady specially arranged a middle position for him. During the whole play, he didn't even glance at the girl.

You don't know how mad I was, I wanted to kick him from behind."
