Shu Yu took the child in her arms and sat opposite the old lady, while playing with Little Zaozao, she recounted what had happened in the court.
The old lady sighed repeatedly, "That Chen Family really knows how to make trouble. That Chen Ji, he’s calculating like anything. Even if he’s well-read and a Scholar, his character is truly lacking. Qiuju got what she deserved. If she hadn’t entangled with Scholar Chen, she’d still be Miss Kong’s maid. If Chen Ji wanted to give her away, he’d have to get Miss Kong’s permission."
Well, she ended up not being Kong Zhiyou’s maid, but a concubine of the Chen Family. Isn’t it just as the Chen family father and son say?
The old lady shook her head and sighed, then asked, "How about Miss Kong?"
The old lady didn’t know the conflict between Kong Zhiyou and Shu Yu, Ding Yuehua, only that when her granddaughter had her Coming-of-age ceremony, that girl had also co to give a gift. Although she didn’t seem very familiar with Yu, after all, they knew each other and had so connections, so it was inevitable to pay so attention.
It was her first ti hearing that Miss Kong was six months pregnant and had a miscarriage, the Chen Family is like a den of wolves, even more unreasonable than those fierce families in their village, actually protecting the culprit Qiuju.
If she encountered such a thing, the old lady would definitely fight with her own old man.
Shu Yu shook her head, "I don’t know, but now there’s only Scholar Chen in the Chen Family, without his father, who is a senior, suppressing him, he shouldn’t dare to do anything. Kong Zhiyou has the Kong Family backing her, which is bigger and more influential than the Chen Family, and having learned a lesson once, she probably won’t suffer again."
The old lady thought it made sense, and after expressing so opinions about the incident, she changed the subject.
In the afternoon, ng Yunzheng ca over. He moved quickly and had already figured out the intentions of that aunt in Liufang Alley.
As expected, it was related to Chen Ji.
"Chen Ji deliberately approached that aunt, praising her son for being smart, saying that if he would study and beco literate, he would surely earn fa in the future. Later, he ntioned that he was eager for talent and wanted to take him as a student. However, even though he had the Scholar title, he was too old, and he feared that his own diocre exam results might mislead the young boy."
Chen Ji guided that aunt to think of ng Yunzheng. Chen Ji analyzed that ng Yunzheng had won three consecutive minor competitions, had great skills, and it was most suitable to have him for enlightennt. Moreover, since they lived in Liufang Alley and were neighbors, it wasn’t right to charge money.
Didn’t that aunt get tempted then? But she also knew that ng Yunzheng, although appearing kind, was actually difficult to approach.
So Chen Ji gave her another idea, advising her to leave her son at the doorstep of ng Yunzheng.
Chen Ji pretended to be very concerned about the progress of the child’s apprenticeship, he frequently ca to inquire and offered suggestions.
Whether it was the aunt or the child, they were no match for Chen Ji. They were mostly coaxed into revealing everything to him.
In other words, Chen Ji used a child who wouldn’t be suspected to keep an eye on ng Yunzheng, and they were completely unaware, being utterly exploited.
But now, with Chen Ji dead, and in such a manner, that aunt realized he wasn’t a good person and began to doubt his words. She already felt that he wasn’t reliable. At the very least, when ng Yunzheng approached her, she was still scolding Chen Ji, it seems she won’t let her son stay at the door of the ng family any longer.
However, though the truth is clear, there’s still no clue about that mysterious person.
