TSBFL Chapter 100:
Chapter 100.1: 縱火 [Set on Fire/ Commit Arson]
Old Master Chen looked at Steward Feng with a full face of startled, he did not understand where their Chen family had provoked Mrs.Zhao, obviously some time ago, she and his wife were still laughing and joking, it does not look like there are some kind of conflicting views.
Steward Feng looked at the Old Master Chen’s confused look, looked at the money he just gave, and added, “Although I do not know what specifically had happened, it seems to be related to your family’s fourth young lady. Madam, for that matter, was also very furious.”
Chen Lao Ye’s heart thumped, he vaguely understood something, if it was really because of that incident, then the Zhao family’s movement is also not surprising at all.
Without saying anything more, Master Chen raised his eyes and looked at Steward Feng in front of him, asking him to do his best to put good words for him in front of Master Zhao, and then left in a hurry. If it is really as what he had guessed, he felt that their Chen family must have completely offended the Zhao family this time, and he has to go back and think of a solution.
Butler Feng looked at the back of Chen Lao Ye’s hurried departure, threw a weighty purse in his hand, gently raised his eyebrows, and said teasingly, “This Master Chen is really willing to spend money, but it’s a pity that he doesn’t know how to raise his daughter.”
What Master Chen did when he returned to the mansion was not to go to his study room, but went directly to Madam Chen’s inner courtyard.
Once Chen Lao Ye entered the door, Mrs Chen, who was sitting there to check the account books, immediately noticed his arrival. She immediately put the books on the side, stood up to welcome, looked at his ‘not very good expression’ and said in a neutral tone, “Lao Ye, you…this…what happened?”
Chen Lao Ye lifted his eyes to look at her, the coolness in his eyes directly made people panic, only to hear him ask in a deep voice: “Have you seen Mrs Zhao in this period of time?”
Mrs Chen did not know why he suddenly asked this question, following his words, Mrs Chen tried to recall, suddenly thought of something, her heart began to feel nervous or uncertain. She raised her eyes to look at Master Chen, her tone a little unstable as she said: “This period of time, I really do not have contact with Mrs Zhao again.”
Chen Lao Ye slapped his thighs, feeling that he had found the reason for the Zhao family’s sudden change of heart. He panicked as he said: “So it’s really like this, it must be that the Zhao family, not knowing where they learned the news of Chen Ling’er’s disfigurement, and now they have given up on the idea of ‘related by marriage’ with our family. Moreover, it ruined the matter of cooperation with us.”
Mrs Chen is naturally aware of the cooperation matter; after all, if successful, their Chen family’s influence in this area will be even higher, their shops can also follow the expansion. She…this Mrs Chen’s weight will also be heavier. Suddenly hearing the news that the Zhao family won’t cooperate with them, Mrs Chen suddenly became anxious as he looked at Master Chen and said: “Master, how can this be done? The Zhao family can not be so petty, right? They obviously have agreed, how can they change their mind as the time draws near?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Lao Ye immediately became angry, looking at Mrs Chen as he said, “Impossible, why is there no way? Do you know how many people are staring at this matter? If it wasn’t for the Second Young Master of the Zhao family liking Ling Er and wanting to be related by marriage with us, how could they possibly bring this deal to us! Now that they can’t get married, it’s naturally useless to talk about it any more.”
Madam Chen listened to the Old Master Chen’s words, her original pity for the disfigurement of her own daughter; gradually she’s having two more complaints as she asked a little nervously: “So there is no way to redeem it?”
Hearing this question of her, Chen Lao Ye’s eyes immediately lit up, and then as if he thought of something, his eyes revealed a bit of ferocity, lifting his eyes to stare directly at Mrs Chen, and fiercely said, “In this way, we will send Ling Er to Zhao Second Young Master as high rank concubine, so that even if, no matter how dissatisfied Zhao family is, they will and still able to help us out for the sake of us being sensible.”
“But, but, Ling Er is our first daughter, how can she be someone else’s concubine?” Although Madam Chen was a little annoyed with Chen Ling Er, she still did not quite agree with Madam Chen’s words.
Although a concubine is also considered to be a legitimate marriage, after all, it is much inferior to the main wife. Previously, Chen Ling Er was unwilling to marry that Zhao family’s second son, and now she is even more asked to be that concubine, how can she be willing or consent to it!
Chen Lao Ye just laughed coldly and said coldly: “Now she has disfigured, that Zhao family’s second young master wants her is another thing, what option does she still have to choose? Is it possible when the moment comes, we keep her in the house and make us support her for the rest of her life?”
Madam Chen absolutely wanted to say that such a proposal is also considered as acceptable but when she raised her eyes to meet Chen Lao Ye’s eyes, she knew that those are their own wishful thinking or delusions, Chen Lao Ye would not agree.
Master Chen looked at the silent Mrs Chen, knowing that she understood his words so he continued to say: “During this period of time, you do not need to say anything, wait until the arrangement is done, then I will send her over, so as not to cause any more wicked ideas or tricks.”
“Yes.” Madam Chen lowered her head and responded, having already compromised on Master Chen’s arrangement.
Outside the window, in a hidden corner, the person standing there was ruthlessly squeezing the handkerchief in her hand, looking at the two people in the room with a face full of hatred.
That person watched for a while, until there was no more talk in the room, and then she walked out of the corner towards her own yard.
That person walked back to her own room and waited for her to sit there for a good while before a maid knocked on the door with trepidation, and said towards her, “Miss, I’ve already found out what you asked me to inquire about.”
“Speak.”
Just and only this simple word made the maid who came to reply tremble, and then carefully said, “Miss, that restaurant, I didn’t know where they got a big wild boar. They used that wild boar as a gimmick to make a whole pig feast, and now his family’s fame is even bigger, and their business is getting better and better.”
