Marrying a powerful eunuch three times

Chapter 125 Cui Family's Retirement Fund

Chunxi seemed frightened and quickly stood up and walked to the door.

His face was ashen.

"Madam, I was just talking nonsense. Maybe it was made up by the eldest wife. She deliberately said it to anger our second wife. This vicious woman wanted to kill our second wife."

Chunxi shed tears.

"She said that the old man died tragically. But no one paid any attention to him, and no one even went to see him."

"My master didn't eat or drink a drop of water for several days before he died. That vicious woman wouldn't let anyone feed him or drink." Chunxi saw Cui's face change and thought to himself, what's the point of crying now?

On the day.

Isn’t being a mother also outsourcing your love?

Afraid of seeing his son feel uncomfortable.

No meeting at all.

She only showed up crying after her son died.

Cui beat her chest, tears and snot streaming down her face. "That vicious woman. I trusted her so much, how could she kill my son?"

"Madam, Murong said that the Second Master also has a share."

Cui's face changed.

"Nonsense, it must be that vicious woman who is trying to get close to Chengru."

Su Rutang came out and smiled: "Madam, why don't you go ask the Second Master and see what he says?"

"You vicious woman, are you trying to drive a wedge between us mother and son?"

"To alienate you and your son? Do Madam and the Second Master have a deep mother-son relationship?"

"You..." Cui cried again, "I don't know anything. I'm just a woman."

She left crying.

Zhao Ma Ma held the hairpin in her hand and didn't even look at the old lady. She followed her to the outer room and said, "Second Madam. Thank you, Second Madam."

"We are master and servant, please kowtow to the old lady."

"The old slave knows."

Nanny Zhao went in, kowtowed, and then came out, wiping her tears as she left.

Wang Yuehong knew that Cui had money.

He first went to Cui's place, but was scolded by Cui.

She was so angry that her eyes turned red and she sat in the chair in a daze.

When Zhou Chengzhang entered the room, he saw her sitting there wiping her tears.

He is in a good mood.

It’s rare to ask:

"Yuehong, what's wrong?"

Wang Yuehong told him about how someone was blocking the front yard to collect debts and how Cui Shi was holding on to the silver. "Third Master, I really don't want to be the housekeeper anymore."

Zhou Chengzhang’s job in the capital was finalized.

He was feeling very proud now, for he heard that the old woman Cui was holding on to the silver and would not let go.

His eyes were full of violence.

"Don't worry about this matter. I'll go and tell you. How much money does that person owe the merchant?"

"More than 1,200 taels of silver."

"so much?"

"Damn Murong, and her brother have emptied the Zhou Mansion. They say nice things on weekdays, but they do all kinds of sneaky things." Wang Yuehong didn't dare to go out.

Others pointed at the Zhou family and made fun of them.

Even her family members told her not to go back to her parents' home recently.

"I'm going to visit my wife." Zhou Chengzhang went out.

He went to Cui's yard.

Cui had just finished crying with red eyes. She learned that her eldest son died at the hands of Murong Feiyue, and she wanted to kill Murong Feiyue.

Sitting in the house.

He asked someone to bring some fruit, and while eating it he cursed Murong Feiyue.

"Mother."

Zhou Chengzhang came in and asked the maid to go out.

The maid didn't dare and was glared at by him.

"roll."

The maid had no choice but to lower her head and go out, closing the door behind her.

Cui threw the plum pit on the table.

Sitting up straight, he said, "Dirty thing. What are you doing here?"

She hated this bastard.

Zhou Chengzhang came to the table, picked up a plum and took a bite. "It's very sour, just like my mother's heart."

"Get out of here." Cui had always been polite in front of Zhou Chengzhang. "Don't think you're proud of me because I'm no longer the boss."

"Second brother? He's having a hard time now."

Zhou Chengzhang spat out the plum in his mouth and said, "I came here to tell my mother that the old lady still owed the shop two thousand taels of silver for her birthday. Those people sat at the gatehouse and refused to leave, so my mother gave me some silver to send them away."

"I don't have any money. Go find Su Rutang."

"What are you doing with her?"

"She is Chengru's daughter-in-law, so she should fill this hole." Cui waved her hands repeatedly, "The old lady has her own money, you can go to her and pawn the things that everyone usually gives to her."

"If others knew that our Zhou family had pawned the property, they would probably laugh at us for being shameless."

"I know that my mother is well-off and I am a miser who only takes in and doesn't spend."

"You rebellious son, how dare you disobey me?" Cui stepped forward and slapped him.

Blocked by Zhou Chengzhang.

"Mother, don't think you still have someone to back you up. I am the most senior official in the Zhou Mansion now." He pushed Cui away. "Mother, you are not in good health. I am paying off the debts owed to the shop for you."

He walked straight towards Cui's inner room.

"Do not."

Cui rushed over to stop him, "I don't have any silver."

"If you don't pay back the money you owe, your future will be in jeopardy."

Cui didn't care, "I'm just a woman, what can I do? You ask Chengru to beg Su, as long as he bows his head and begs Su."

As she said this, she burst into tears.

"They all don't listen to me. I've always said that we should coax Su Shi."

Zhou Chengzhang pushed her away.

I went in and looked through Cui's makeup box, and found only a few worthless silver hairpins inside.

He saw a wooden box inside the bed.

Cui was startled.

"Don't move."

Zhou Chengzhang stepped forward and took the wooden box in his hand first. The wooden box was locked.

"Give me the key."

"No."

Cui cried very sadly, "Please, give it back to me. It's my retirement money."

Zhou Chengzhang didn't care about her pension money, he took the wooden box and went to the small kitchen to find a knife. Everyone in Cui's courtyard held their breath and dared not say a word.

"Quickly stop this beast."

How dare the maids and servants?

They all knelt on the ground and dared not say a word, because they knew that Zhou Chengzhang held the highest position.

One level older than Zhou Chengru.

Zhou Chengzhang found a knife and pried open the wooden box, revealing the silver bills, valuable jewelry, gold and silver ingots inside.

He put the two gold ingots in his sleeves and picked up a silver note and put it away.

Then, in front of everyone, he picked out two thousand taels of silver notes, took out a few silver ingots, and a set of fine headdresses, "These are returned to the merchants who asked for money, and the rest is put on the account to pay people's salaries."

The servants had been complaining behind the scenes for a long time because they were owed two months' salary.

When he heard Zhou Chengzhang say that he was going to pay salaries, he immediately showed his joy.

"No... this is my retirement fund." Cui cried and tried to grab it.

Zhou Chengzhang returned the remaining money in the wooden box to her and said, "You have a lot of money, but you don't think about helping your son through this difficult time. You just keep the money and act pitiful."

"No wonder your father is alienated from you."

This one sentence broke Cui's defense.

"You have no right to say that to me." Cui was furious. "I gave birth to a promising son, and my daughter married well."

Zhou Chengzhang gave him a cold look and left.

He first went to the gatehouse in the front yard and paid the money.

He said a few nice words and gave him a few more taels of silver.

This made the merchants look at him with admiration.

It turns out that the illegitimate son of the Zhou family is a young talent with outstanding appearance and talent.

Send the debt collector away.

He called his confidant and asked him to find a pawnshop to pawn the jewelry.

The confidant accepted the offer while holding the jewelry.

"Pawn it until you die. Pawn it for more silver and pay your monthly allowance first." Zhou Chengzhang pressed his brows, "Buy two taels of old ginseng beard and tell the people at Rongxi Hall to make water for the old lady to drink every day."

"Yes."

Zhou Chengzhang's series of events reached the ears of Zhou Chengru and the old lady.

The old lady was in tears.

I never paid attention to this grandson, but I didn't expect he was such a good person.

He continued to curse Cui.

She asked someone to call Cui to serve her, which made Cui miserable.

When Cui returned to the house the next day, she found that everything in the wooden box was gone.

She collapsed to the ground.

He pointed at the two maids in the room and beat them with a feather blanket with a ferocious look on his face. "Tell me, which of you took my money?"

The two maids were beaten so hard that they cried and wailed.

They kept saying that Zhou Chengru was here and didn't let them enter the house.

"It's that evil creature." Cui pounded her chest, "It's all my fault..."

When Xia An woke up early, she heard the little maid chattering outside the door. She called the little maid over and gave her some chestnut cakes.

Find out the reason.

After returning to the house, he told Su Rutang, "Second Madam. Our courtyard and Lanxiang Courtyard both pay their own monthly allowances. The servants in other rooms in the mansion would have been making a fuss long ago."

"Third Master, why did he come forward?"

"He's doing it for outsiders to see." Su Rutang thought about it and understood what he meant.

Chunxi and others were worried that Su Rutang would have a hard time in the future.

If something really happens in the future, we can't be trapped in Zhou's house, right?

Just three or four days.

There is another happy event in the Zhou family.

Zhou Chengru redeemed Miss Wanruo and took her as his concubine. He also asked Song Huaiyan to move out of Lanxiangyuan, saying that Lanxiangyuan was for Miss Wanruo.

Song Huaiyan was too lazy to see them, so he quickly asked someone to clean up the yard next to Chuitang Courtyard.
