Chapter 239 They're after your family fortune
For a moment at first, she regretted choosing the third bandit.
She vaguely felt that he had her pretend to be the heir of the Zhu family with the child in her womb, entirely because he wanted to seize the Zhu family's property.
To be honest, in the three years since she married into the Zhu family, Zhu Shaoli has treated her well, always indulging her and giving her the best of everything.
Moreover, although Zhu Shaoli was a rich young master, it is said that before his marriage, he often frequented brothels.
However, after they got married, Zhu Shaoli was very family-oriented. Every day, he would either go to the business or go home to be with her.
But at the time, she just found him annoying...
Now that the third bandit wanted to seize Zhu Shaoli's family fortune, Zhong Yanli hesitated again, looking at him with a face full of doubt.
"Husband, are you really willing to let our child take the surname Zhu and call Zhu Shaoli his father?"
The third bandit was stunned for a moment, and to be honest, he was unwilling.
So what? If they don't want to, they can only let their children live a hard life with them. Although he doesn't mind living a simple life, who would want to be a pauper if they have the opportunity to be a rich man?
The third bandit's eyes shifted, and he looked at Zhong Yanli with "sincerity."
"Lier, I'm definitely not comfortable with the child having the surname Zhu, but I'm willing to endure it for the sake of the child's future."
As for the child calling Zhu Shaoli "Dad," there's even less to worry about. After all, he's just a dead man, so even if his son calls him "Dad," he won't respond.
Anyway, the child is our own flesh and blood, and no matter what his surname or given name is, he will always be closer to us in the end.
News of Zhu Shaoli's death has likely reached the Zhu family, and the Zhu family must have received the news that Zhu Shaoli died after encountering bandits on the way, and that you, the young mistress, have gone missing.
In a few days, I will take you to the Zhu family. Then, tell them that I am your savior, that I saved you and am escorting you back. In gratitude, you will ask them to let me, a lonely man, stay at the Zhu family as a steward.
That way we can see each other more often, and I can also witness the birth of our child.
"Once the children are a bit older, you'll have complete control of the Zhu family. Then, quietly eliminate those troublesome members of the Zhu family. Once those people are gone, the Zhu family will be ours."
The third bandit grew happier and happier, as if the entire Zhu family now belonged to him...
Although Zhong Yanli was slightly tempted by what the third bandit said, she really didn't want to go back to that place. Although she didn't have much affection for Zhu Shaoli, she had lived in the Zhu family for three years, and there were traces of her and Zhu Shaoli's life everywhere in the Zhu mansion.
She had personally witnessed the third bandit slash Zhu Shaoli to death from behind with a large knife. Now, being asked to seize Zhu Shaoli's property while pregnant with the third bandit's child made her feel uneasy, wondering if Zhu Shaoli was watching her.
In fact, Zhong Yanli was right. At that moment, Zhu Shaoli was indeed watching Zhong Yanli and the third bandit not far away.
Ning Bao and Ling Ling, who had used invisibility talismans, were also watching them.
After listening to the conversation between Zhong Yanli and the third bandit, Ning Bao couldn't help but look at Zhu Shaoli with sympathy.
"Brother Ghost, is this really your wife?"
Zhu Shaoli nodded with a grim expression.
"Yes, she is my wife, Zhong Yanli. Although we have only been married for three years, I have already engraved her into my very bones."
Ning Bao looked at Zhu Shaoli meaningfully.
"Brother Ghost, if I'm not mistaken, that man and woman seem to be plotting to seize your family's property."
