Chapter 230 Xue Xu Fishing
"ah--"
Zhao Yutan was awakened and sat up straight in bed.
She was gasping for breath, she had another precognitive dream!
Last time, she dreamed that Qin Heng led his troops westward and then arrived at Chang'an. Her husband Xie Zhan led all the officials to open the city gates and welcome the Qin troops into the city.
This time, she clearly dreamed that Qin Heng became the emperor.
Although she didn't dream of Qin Heng ascending the throne last time, her father, brothers and others in the family had predicted this, so she was only slightly surprised and not too shocked.
In the dream, she was the widow of Qin Sheng, a young prince and general, and her uncle Qin Heng, the emperor, loved her very much and treated her well.
Not only was she given the title of Princess An, but she was also given a vast and exquisitely appointed house. Besides that, she was provided with everything from fine clothes and delicacies to gold, silver, and jewelry, and even given supreme power over her female relatives.
Everyone envied her status and everyone tried to curry favor with her.
She dreamed that she was wearing a gorgeous palace skirt, holding a folding fan, and going to Xie's house to visit her childhood friend.
The princess's procession was very grand, with red silk cloth spread almost all the way from Prince An's mansion to the Xie Mansion. Xie Zhan, the head of the Xie family at that time, led the crowd to welcome her arrival.
It was also at that time that her heart skipped a beat when their eyes accidentally met.
She was deeply impressed by the fact that he was wearing a crimson official uniform and opened the city gate alone that day.
From then on, her interactions with Xie Zhan began to become more frequent.
She dreamed that she and Xie Zhan had a secret crush on each other, and eventually they couldn't help but kiss each other, and were then discovered by the seriously ill Lu Songli.
Lu Songli died of anger, and Xie Zhan took care of everything and handled the funeral, without letting Princess An suffer any negative impact.
Today, she is still the same person, but Xie Zhan's feelings for her are not as strong as in the premonition dream.
Zhao Yutan couldn't help but wonder, does Xie Zhan really love her?
At this moment, Xie Zhan happened to push the door open and came in. When he came to the bedside, he saw that she was sitting up. He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Zhao Yutan looked at him blankly and shook his head.
She said it was okay, so Xie Zhan didn't care and took off his clothes and got on the bed.
When his hand reached out to Zhao Yutan, she stopped him.
Zhao Yutan had a premonition that she was pregnant. As she thought about this, her hand unconsciously touched her belly.
In the light of the fifteenth moon, Xie Zhan saw it and his eyes darkened.
Xie Zhan covered her with a blanket and said, "It's late, go to sleep."
"Did something happen in the Chen Mansion today?" Zhao Yutan suddenly asked.
"Hmm." Xie Zhan thought about it and decided to tell her about it so that she could be mentally prepared. "It's probably like this..."
Listening to him talk about the Chen Mansion, Zhao Yutan's heart was lifted. As soon as he finished speaking, she couldn't help but ask, "Will the Chen Mansion not let this go?"
Xie Zhan was silent.
"Do you want to divorce your wife and remarry, or take a concubine?" Zhao Yutan asked in a raised voice.
At present, the status of the Chen family's legitimate daughter is much higher than hers. Will Chen Baozhu and the Chen family be willing to let her be a co-wife?
So that means divorcing your wife and remarrying?
No, they were married by the Empress Dowager, so it was impossible for her to divorce him and remarry. Zhao Yutan's eyes widened at the thought of this possibility. She suddenly remembered Lu Songli's fate in the prophetic dream, and she moved closer to the bed in fear.
Xie Zhan saw her reaction and was stunned at first. He didn't understand why she was afraid at first, but Xie Zhan was such a smart man that he guessed what she was afraid of in just a moment.
"Don't be afraid, I won't divorce my wife and remarry. She'll just be my equal." Xie Zhan could only comfort her in this way, because even if he knew what she was worried about, neither of them could say it out loud.
But Xie Zhan's eyes darkened. He didn't expect that his wife, who was not very smart, would think of marrying a successor after his wife's death.
Originally, he didn't want to form an alliance with the Chen family.
From Xie Zhan's perspective, it was an alliance, a temporary subservience. But from the Chen family's perspective, it was submission. Different statements, but both referring to the same thing.
For Xie Zhan at the moment, the Zhao family is both a relative and a natural ally.
If his plan succeeds, he will need a lot of talents.
The Zhao family has many talented people who can be used. These are ready-made talents. He can use them as soon as he wants. It is much better than recruiting people from outside later without knowing their background.
What he needs to do now is to preserve his strength as much as possible. It is impossible to weaken his power any further.
Zhao Yutan smiled sadly when she heard this. In her premonition dream, she replaced Lu Songli and became his wife. Was what she was experiencing now retribution?
Xie Zhan comforted her, "If I had a choice, I wouldn't want you to suffer this injustice. But now, people are under the eaves, and we have to bow our heads. Even though we know it's the Chen family's calculations, for the sake of the Xie family and the Zhao family, you and I have to suffer a little injustice. But don't worry, in my heart, you will always be my legal wife."
He knew very well that if he married a concubine, it would be directly defined as a matter between a man and a woman, and could only be regarded as a man's romantic affair.
But divorcing one's wife and remarrying, or marrying after one's wife dies, is a different matter. That is a stain on one's moral character.
Outsiders would not care whether there was any inside story or whether it was an accident or not. They would only think that after he arrived in the South, in order to curry favor with the Chen family, he killed his wife and kicked away his in-laws who had become a burden.
Moreover, if Zhao Yutan was gone, and he married the Chen family's legitimate daughter, he and the Zhao family would inevitably become strangers, and even become enemies.
Since he has such a grand goal, he must not have a bad reputation for being heartless and disloyal. Otherwise, who would be willing to follow him in the future?
Therefore, Zhao Yutan's worry was unnecessary. On the contrary, he would protect her.
Zhao Yutan buried her head in his arms. Now everyone in the family was counting on her husband. She knew that maintaining the status quo was the best for everyone, not to mention that she might be pregnant.
Ji Wuyin wrote down what Xie Zhan had experienced in Chen Mansion in a letter and sent it out as quickly as possible.
At the same time, Ji Wuyin also reminded his friend in the letter that his news in the north might have been known to Chen Jiaye, and asked him to be careful.
When Xue Xu received a letter from his old friend, he read it while thinking and soon reached the end of the letter.
Xue Xu sneered at his friend's reminder. It wasn't that he underestimated Chen Jiaye, but even if he knew his exact address, what could he do to him?!
Yes, on the surface, in order to find him, Chen Jiaye offered a reward on him for three years, but every time he deliberately revealed his identity, he never really came to find him.
Coward!
When Xue Xu turned the letter back, he saw his friend asking him again if he had found a new lord, Cheng. The corners of Xue Xu's mouth curled up slightly, and he picked up the pen to start writing a reply.
Xue Xu wrote down the discussion that the Sixth Young Master's wife had previously given to Wu Ren and others on "how to judge whether a deal can be made based on the investment environment". He thought that his friends would definitely like this topic.
Finally, he added a sentence at the end of the letter, 'If you want to know, you can come to Liaodong County. I will wait for you in Longcheng.'
After replying to the letter, Xue Xu compiled the news from the South and ordered it to be sent to Xiangping, along with samples of Lianqiao Powder and painkillers.
Yes, the samples are out.
As soon as he arrived in Longcheng, he set up the framework of the pharmacy. The Sixth Young Master's wife had clearly written down the steps for making the medicine, and he knew at that time that he only needed to recruit some medical talents to get started.
Everything is going well now, except that the daily output is not very high.
