The Weirdness of the Zhao Family

Shen Zi'an loves Su Zhi very much. The Zhao family originally married Su Zhi to him as Zhao's younger sister. Although their intentions were bad, he is still very grateful that they gave him such a good wife. But he hates them because of their use of Su Zhi. Originally, when the matter was exposed, they just broke off their relationship without exposing this matter, which was already very unfair to Su Zhi. Now Su Zhi is implicated in their family's scandal, which he firmly disagrees with.

"Wife, we agreed to wait until my aunt gets pregnant or tell the truth after a while, but that's not good. If it really doesn't work, just expose the matter. What can the Zhao family do to us?"

Shen Zian said that he was a man who valued his promises, but when it came to Su Zhi, he was willing to make an exception.

Anyway, what the Zhao family did was not fair.

Su Zhi said, "Let's go and find out if Lianhua is really pregnant."

Su Zhi felt that it was most likely that Lianhua was pregnant. She thought of what Xiao Ping'er had said to her, that Lianhua had had skin-to-skin contact with the landlord Li's son, so it was normal for her to be pregnant. And it seemed that it was at that time that the Zhao family moved to the county town, right?

Su Zhi told Shen Zian about this and asked Shen Zian to help her analyze it.

After hearing this, Shen Zi'an became even more displeased with the Zhao family. He thought that the Zhao family was really full of shameless women. First, there was Aunt Yue. For the sake of wealth and glory, she even grew up in a quiet place with incense and worship. She could abandon the marriage she had been arranged since childhood, hide it from her parents, change her name and become a man's concubine. If she hadn't been recognized, she would probably never come out to admit it in her life, and she would have to let others help support her parents for the rest of her life.

And this Lianhua, she is still a bad person at such a young age. She actually had a tryst with a man and might even be pregnant. She is no worse than her sister.

Shen Zian felt sorry for his wife when he thought about how she was taken advantage of by such a family.

"Don't worry, daughter-in-law. I will investigate this matter thoroughly. Didn't that Zhang just take the midwife away? I will go and check if Lianhua is really pregnant. If so, we will go find them. When this happens, let them take the initiative to explain the matter. You don't have to worry about the reputation of the daughter of such a family anymore. Otherwise, you will have a bad reputation."

Shen Zian was worried about Su Zhi, so he wanted to find out as soon as possible.

Su Zhi thought about it and agreed. Her husband could now be called a martial arts master. At least climbing to the roof was no problem. She finally knew that there was such a thing as Qinggong in the world. Although it was not as bizarre as the master flying over the bamboo forest in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, he could indeed fly over eaves and walls.

Shen Zian drove the carriage to a place, asked Su Zhi to wait there, and then left.

"Mother, what did father do?"

Yueyue asked, sitting next to Su Zhi, staring at her with her big eyes.

Su Zhi naturally wouldn't tell the little kid about those dirty things. Just now, the couple spoke in a low voice and always stopped talking when they got the point across.

"Dad is out doing something and will be back soon. Let's wait here."

"I know Daddy went to watch someone give birth." Yueyue suddenly said, a little proudly, "I have very sharp ears. I heard everything you said."

Su Zhi felt dizzy, and she blamed herself for giving the little girl too much spiritual spring water. Now she was really sharp-eyed and sharp-eared. She heard everything she should hear, and even things she shouldn't hear. She looked at Xiao Ri again, and Xiao Ri nodded at her. The corners of her mouth twitched, wondering why this child was so smart. She hadn't even asked, but she nodded.

"Even if you two heard it, don't tell anyone else. You see, your parents just spoke about this in a low voice. This is a secret and cannot be shared."

Su Zhi used her hand to make a zipper motion on her mouth.

Xiaori and Yueyue both nodded. There was one thing about them that was very well behaved, which was that they didn't talk nonsense, which was definitely a rare trait among kids.

Not long after, Shen Zian came back, and Su Zhi hurriedly asked him about his situation.

Shen Zian said: "It is true that Lianhua is pregnant. It looks like she is about to give birth. I just called the maid over and bumped into her by accident. I thought she was going to give birth, but she wasn't. There is something very strange."

'What's up?"

When Su Zhi heard that Lianhua was really pregnant, her brows wrinkled. When she heard Shen Zian say something strange, she immediately asked again. At this time, if there was anything strange, she had to hear it.

Shen Zian said, "Lianhua's belly is not small. Logically, even if she is in labor, she should give birth early. If she really wants to give birth, she should let the midwife deliver the baby. But the people of the Zhao family told the midwife not to let the baby be born. The midwife told them not to worry, even if the baby is born right away, the baby will be fine. But the people of the Zhao family still told her not to give birth to the baby. Isn't this very strange?"

“It’s very strange.”

Su Zhi was also very surprised to hear this. Lianhua was pregnant before marriage, and after the death of the young master of the Li family, the child had to be born. There were only two possibilities. One was that she could not have an abortion and had to give birth to the child. The other was that she planned to give birth to the child and go to the Li family. The Li family was short of people now. No matter whether it was a boy or a girl, as long as it was the flesh and blood of the Li family, they would accept it. It would definitely be beneficial at that time. However, in both of these ways, it would be better to give birth to the child smoothly, and it would be better if it could be born early.

Why does this child have to be born at a scheduled date according to their wishes?

Shen Zian said, "Wife, should we go find the Zhao family and explain this matter clearly?"

Su Zhi nodded and said, "Go."

At first, it was said that as long as Aunt Yue was pregnant, the identities of the two would be made public. Later, Aunt Yue said that she was not in good health and was afraid that it would be bad for the child if the matter was made public. She hoped to wait until the child was born before making a decision. At that time, Aunt Yue asked very sincerely, using the child as an excuse. Su Zhi was very persistent about the child. As long as it was related to the child, she would be easy to talk about, so she agreed. Now that the matter of Lianhua had happened, she thought that since Aunt Yue was about to give birth, she went to warn the Zhao family and told them that it would be better for them to wait until Aunt Yue gave birth before making Lianhua's embarrassing matter public.

Su Zhi thought that Lian Hua was going to take the child to the Li family, and she must want to gain some benefits. It was okay for them to gain benefits, but they should not implicate her.

If they don't want her to reveal their identities when Aunt Yue is still pregnant, then Lianhua had better not move.

When they arrived at the Zhao family's residence and opened the door, Zhang's face became panicked when she saw Shen Zian and Su Zhi.

"Why are you here?"

"Why can't we come?" Su Zhi didn't smile either. She said to Zhang with a slightly sullen face, "Let us in. You don't have to hide. We all know about Lianhua."

Zhang was stunned and asked, "What do you know about Lianhua? What could have happened to her?"

"What could it be? We've just called the midwife, what else could it be?! Get out of the way, or we don't have to say anything more. I'll go straight to Mr. Zhang's house and tell him about Aunt Yue's true identity."

"Yuanbao's wife, ask her to come in!"

In the courtyard, Zhao Yang shouted loudly, looking at Su Zhi with eyes like knives, thinking that this girl was really troublesome. What was the point of knowing so much? If she knew nothing, it would be great to be her concubine. Then Fuyuan would be so rich, she could ask for more good things, and with Yue Yi Niang as her biological daughter, she would have two backers. And there was Lianhua. If Fuyuan was the backing, the Li family would definitely take her and the child in. By then, the Li family would not be entirely their Zhao family! But now looking at Su Zhi's appearance, forget it!

Shen Zian and Su Zhi went in and brought Xiaori and Yueyue with them.

Zhao Daxi and Zhao Yuanbao looked at Shen Zian and Su Zhi. Both of them were silent. One was smoking a pipe while the other was looking down to see if there were any holes in his shoes.

Su Zhi told the family what she meant and asked them to decide what to do. Anyway, if her reputation was damaged, she would not care about Aunt Yue's pregnancy.

"Don't worry, your reputation will not be affected. If it is, just go and tell Aunt Yue when she is pregnant."

Zhao Yang said there was no ambiguity at all.

Su Zhi raised her eyebrows, thinking that Zhao Yang's response was really straightforward, but since she said so, she agreed. Anyway, Aunt Yue was going to give birth soon, and after she gave birth, she would really draw a clear line with this family. She had thought about this for a long time, and if they hadn't used Aunt Yue's belly as an excuse to make her unwilling to risk the safety of a child, she would have ended the matter long ago.

Zhang escorted Su Zhi and the others out, spoke to them in a friendly manner, and then closed the door.

"This is quite straightforward," Shen Zian said, "but it feels a little strange. Obviously, there is nothing strange about this. Everything is going smoothly."

Shen Zian's intuition is very accurate. If he feels something is wrong, then it must be wrong, but there is definitely nothing wrong with it.

Su Zhi said, "It doesn't matter. Maybe that Zhao Yang thought it would be okay to raise the child for a few more days before sending him back to the Li family to recognize his ancestors."

"Wouldn't it be safer to go with a big belly?"

Shen Zian said that he felt it would be safer to go with a big belly, because if he went with a baby in his arms, not to mention whether people would suspect whether it was Li's child, people would suspect whether it was Lotus's, right?

Su Zhi said: "Maybe they are afraid that someone from the Li family will harm them. After all, they already have Liu Wuniang."

Shen Zian nodded and said, "That may be the case, but I still think that Zhao Yang agreed too easily."

"Never mind for now. If the enemy comes, we will stop him with soldiers. If the flood comes, we will block it with earth."

Su Zhi said that although the people in the Zhao family were evil, the children were innocent. Now that she was about to give birth to two children, she did not want to cause trouble at this time. If she really hurt the children, she would feel guilty.
