Chun Xing and Chun Cao followed Shen Yue Zhang back to the backyard.
Alan stayed to clean up and then went to the kitchen to cook for Su Tai.
The shop door was closed and it was quiet inside.
Su Tai lit a candle and talked with Su Yu around the small coffee table.
"Has the Zhu family made any moves?" Su Yu asked in a low voice.
Su Tai nodded, "As soon as I came back, I went to the government office. Fortunately, I informed him in advance and Shen Yi rushed over to solve the problem. It's not a big problem. I'm more curious about the woman Zhu Yixuan brought back."
"Do you think he brought Cen Mingzhu back with him?" Su Yu made a bold guess.
Su Tai glanced at her with appreciation, "I suspected the same thing, but unfortunately the Zhu family hasn't moved away yet. There aren't many people in the old city, so it's hard to get any information. You're in charge of the shop, and you can see anything going on in the new city. Can you help me keep an eye on it?"
"No problem!"
The Zhu family at this time.
As soon as Zhu Yixuan returned home, he was called over by Master Zhu.
Master Zhu angrily scolded, "Why did you bring Cen back? You should know that she is an exiled criminal! If this matter gets out, do you want to kill the entire Zhu family?
Also, the housekeeper said she was pregnant and about to give birth, what's going on? Boss! How long has your mother's three-year mourning period lasted? You are so confused! "
According to the month of Cen Mingzhu's pregnancy, the child was conceived during the mourning period. If this were to get out, the Zhu family would lose all face. If someone were to complain and report it, it would be another big trouble.
Zhu Yixuan can hide it from anyone, but he cannot hide it from Master Zhu.
He could only helplessly explain: "Dad, the child in Cen's belly is not mine, I didn't do anything wrong."
"What! You you you...she she she...are shameless! You brought back a woman like this? Are you crazy?" Master Zhu was so angry that he almost had a heart attack. If he hadn't had his leg injury and couldn't move, he would have jumped up by now.
Zhu Yixuan thought of the unattainable nobleman, gritted his teeth and resisted the wrath of Master Zhu, "Dad, I can't tell you the details, but you have to believe me, I have never done anything unfilial. Cen is pregnant with a child of an important person. If something happens to the child, our family will lose their heads.
You must take good care of her. She herself is aware of her situation and won't cause any trouble for the time being. Don't worry about her affairs, just leave them to me.
I just went to the county government office and met Chen Yi. He said that the county government office would be moved soon, and at that time the entire old city would be handed over to the garrison troops. I thought Chen Yi was trying to scare me.
I sent someone to inquire and found out that it was true. Lu Tong and Chen Yi have now completely lost control of the old city. Even if our family sends someone to make trouble with them, it will be useless. We can only start with the garrison troops, or compromise! "
"It's impossible for me to compromise! I have finally defeated the Cui family, killed the Bai family, and made the Zhu family the number one family in Zhaohua County! How can I compromise? That would be asking for my life!" Master Zhu's chest was heaving violently, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was gradually becoming crazy.
Zhu Yixuan comforted him, "Dad, I'm still trying to deal with the garrison, but the situation is not optimistic. A wise man knows how to deal with the current situation. Don't worry, we will suffer a little loss now, but the nobles will make it up to us in the future."
"Noble?" Upon hearing these two words, Master Zhu's mood calmed down a lot.
Zhu Yixuan said meaningfully: "I am raising your child for you. You will naturally repay me for such a great favor. It is just a matter of time. Dad, just wait for me to make plans."
Although Mr. Zhu was dissatisfied with his son's concealment, he believed in Zhu Yixuan's ability.
"Alright! Anyway, the Zhu family will be yours in the future, so you can do whatever you want! But since Cen is pregnant with someone else's child, she can no longer continue the bloodline of our Zhu family. I will send two maids over later and let them serve you well."
Zhu Yixuan paused slightly, then finally nodded in response.
When he returned to the main courtyard, he went to see Cen Mingzhu first. "I thought I could avoid the limelight by bringing you back, but I didn't expect that the Zhu family was also in trouble. You and your child cannot be exposed. I think you should understand."
"Zhu Yixuan, what right do you have to talk to me like that! The Second Prince has already pardoned my crime. Even if I walk out openly, no one will dare to do anything to me!" Cen Mingzhu raised her chin proudly.
Zhu Yixuan suddenly laughed, "Yes, you have the support of the Second Prince, and no one can do anything to you, but can you be seen in public? Does the Second Prince dare to openly acknowledge you and the baby in your belly?
No way! Before the second prince ascends the throne, you can only be the wife of the eldest son of the Zhu family. The three-year mourning period has not yet passed, and the eldest son's wife is pregnant. If it gets out, you will go to jail!
You can't have forgotten the pain after the wound healed, right? "
"Are you threatening me?" Cen Mingzhu was furious.
Xiao Shuang stepped forward and advised: "Young Madam, calm down and take care of yourself. What the eldest young master said is right. You will enter the palace in the future. It will be inappropriate if you spread a bad reputation."
In fact, Cen Mingzhu has no reputation at all now, but there is no way to appease her without saying this.
Sure enough, when it comes to entering the palace, Cen Mingzhu immediately calms down, "You're right, I have to endure it in order to enter the palace!"
Zhu Yixuan looked at her like that, mocked her secretly, turned around and left without looking back.
In the next few days, Zhu Yixuan ran around everywhere, giving away silver and beauties, but he was unable to get in touch with the leader of the garrison, and his mood became more and more irritable.
The housekeeper didn't dare to face him, but he had to report the news to him, so he could only bite the bullet and step forward to reply, "Master, the county government office has started moving today."
"So fast? Didn't they say it would take a few months?" Zhu Yixuan's face turned pale, with anger bubbling out.
The housekeeper was so scared that he trembled. "I also found out after I sent someone to keep a close eye on it. They said that the garrison troops wanted to dig up the county government office first."
The coal mine was first discovered at Shen Yi's house, next to the county government office. Now that the area around the county government office has been hollowed out, it is understandable that the garrison troops would attack there.
"This is too much! I've already brought up my father-in-law, but the other party didn't even give me any face!" Zhu Yixuan was really going crazy.
Even if Cen Mingzhu cheated on him, he wouldn't be so angry.
The housekeeper's heart sank, "Master, what should we do next?"
Zhu Yixuan frowned wearily, and after a while he asked, "What's the situation with the houses, shops and fields in the new city area?"
The butler's face turned pale instantly and he stammered, unable to speak.
Zhu Yixuan suddenly had a bad feeling, "Could it be that there is nothing?"
The housekeeper fell to his knees with a plop, and burst into tears, "The master said that he would rather die than move, and refused to accept the compensation from the county government. Because the matter was delayed, the county government did not wait for us and planned to resettle the people on its own. Later, it implemented a new policy to sell the ownerless houses, shops and fields in the new area.
Now even if we move there, we won’t be able to get a good shop, farmland or house.” (End of this chapter)
