Chapter 83 Accurate Calculation
Zhang Qiuye's face turned pale, then red, like a dyeing factory, "You..."
Zhang Juexia stood up straight and looked at Zhang Qiuye with sharp and firm eyes.
"What do you mean by 'you'? Isn't it true? Don't you have any idea of what you've done?
Do you think that just because you live a rich life, everyone is like you and willing to be the concubine of a rich man?
I....”
Zhang Qiuye shouted angrily, "Chuncao, hurry back to the mansion and get someone to deal with her."
Chuncao was hesitant. Her mission was to protect the baby in the eighth concubine's belly.
If she ran away, and if anything happened to the baby in the eighth concubine's belly, her life would be in danger.
Seeing Chuncao didn't even move, Zhang Qiuye was even more furious. She stepped forward and slapped Chuncao, "Didn't you hear what I said?"
Chuncao knelt on the ground submissively, "Eighth Concubine, please spare my life. I dare not leave. I still have to protect the young master."
The master and servant made such a commotion that a crowd of people gathered around them in an instant.
"Who is this, so arrogant and domineering?"
"The eighth concubine of Mr. Li, the rich man, was newly married yesterday..."
"I wonder why it's so amazing."
"Isn't she the new concubine? Why is her belly so big?"
"I remember hearing someone mention that Mr. Li's eighth concubine was the girl from the Zhang family who caused quite a stir a while ago and was divorced by the Liu family and sent home to marry off her sister."
"Yes, yes, that's her."
A group of people surrounded Zhang Qiuye, pointing and talking at her.
All the shitty things in her past were dug up.
Zhang Juexia looked at Zhang Qiuye proudly.
Not far away, Mr. Li's first wife, Qian Yulin, took in this scene. Beside her, Madam Liu carefully observed her master's expression and asked, "Madam, do you need me to intervene?"
"What does it have to do with us? Her bad deeds are not shameful to the master, but I still feel disgusted."
Aunt Liu lowered her head and responded.
"By the way, that girl who was bickering with the Eighth Concubine was quite interesting."
Qian Yulin took a few deliberate glances at Zhang Juexia, then left with Madam Liu.
"After returning home, send someone who is good at speaking to the master and find out what kind of people he will marry into his family."
"Yes, ma'am."
Zhang Qiuye didn't expect things to turn out like this. She stamped her feet, turned around and got into the carriage.
Chuncao shouted from behind, "Eighth Concubine, be careful of the little master in your belly."
Zhang Juexia snorted, "The baby hasn't been born yet, how can we know the gender? But then again, Tian Caihong is good at fortune-telling, maybe she can tell for sure."
Zhang Qiuye had very sharp ears. She heard what Zhang Juexia said and paused. "What did you just say? You said my mother can tell fortunes. Is that true?"
"Of course it's true. She was the one who told me that she would send one of her daughters to be a concubine to the wealthy Mr. Li. Now it has come true."
"you......."
Zhang Qiuye was so angry that his head was swelling. He sat in the carriage with his chest heaving.
Chuncao advised her carefully, "Master, it's not worth getting angry. If you upset the young master, then..."
"Pa" Chuncao was slapped on the face again, "Who told you that I'm pregnant with a little boy? Don't say that again..."
Chuncao covered half of her face with her hands in grievance. "When my wife left yesterday, she specifically told me to call you 'Young Master'. She said that if I kept calling you 'Young Master', it would come true."
Zhang Qiuye tilted her head back in annoyance, and with a bang, the back of her head made close contact with the carriage.
She was so angry that she flew into a rage and stood up suddenly, hitting her head again.
She wailed, "Will you let me live?"
"Eighth Concubine, for the sake of the young master in your belly, you must live well."
Zhang Qiuye's carriage drove away, and Ye Beixiu held Zhang Juexia's hand and continued to walk forward.
"I think I heard something?"
"Even if you know the truth, it's all in the past. It's not worth remembering."
"Do you regret it?"
Zhang Juexia looked at the serious Ye Beixiu and grinned mischievously, "What's there to regret? We're all done."
Ye Beixiu held Zhang Juexia's hand and walked forward silently.
The two of them arrived at Manfu Restaurant. The shopkeeper Wanxi couldn't wait any longer and had asked his waiter to go out and check many times.
When he saw the two of them coming, he was simply overjoyed. He put down the account book in his hand and went to greet them, "Brother Bei Xiu, we haven't seen each other for many days. I have prepared wine and food in the backyard, let's talk while we chat."
"No need to eat. My wife and I have other things to do. Let's make this short."
Shopkeeper Wan Xi was so enthusiastic in inviting guests to stay that Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu felt as if they were looking down on him if they didn't stay for his meal.
Wan Xi brought the two of them to the backyard. Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu smiled at each other and said, "Manager Wan, please find us a room so we can change our clothes and then have a drink and chat with you."
"Okay, okay."
Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu changed their clothes and sat at the table. Wan Xi had already prepared the food.
"I really want to thank Shopkeeper Wan for his warm hospitality today."
"Of course, of course. You guys have helped me a lot. I'd like to ask if you still have the canned food that Miss Ye sent me that day?
We are old acquaintances, so I just told you the truth.
A regular customer of the restaurant liked this dish. I thought it was just some ordinary stuff, so I asked the kitchen to try making some, but I couldn't get it to taste like yours."
Wan Xi looked around at the two of them, took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It's true that what I did was a bit unkind, please don't take it to heart."
Zhang Juexia responded with a smile, "How could that be? It's only natural for Manager Wan to do this.
Manager Wan, what do you need us to do today?"
Wan Xi clapped his hands on the table happily and said, "That's great! Otherwise, why would I like doing business with you two so much?
Could you please send some more canned hawthorns?"
"Manager Wan, you've already eaten canned food before, so you probably know that the ingredients are a bit expensive."
Shopkeeper Wan nodded repeatedly, "I know, I know, we can negotiate the price."
"I wonder how much you need, Shopkeeper Wan?"
"Can I send you fifty cans first?"
Zhang Juexia was thinking about how many hawthorns he had left at home, but Shopkeeper Wan thought it was a difficult task. "How about forty cans?"
Ye Beixiu nudged Zhang Juexia, who stood up. "Manager Wan, you've been helping us for so long, how could you not help with such a small matter? Fifty cans is fifty cans, but what's the price?"
