Chapter 384 The Wife Used as a Shield 6
The Zhou family's status was not good enough to catch the emperor's eye, so they could only rely on the crown prince and try to gain the credit of being his heir.
Then the network of contacts can be accumulated slowly, and will be ready for use when the next generation grows up.
In this way, the Zhou family can at least ensure that things will be stable for a few generations, provided that no one becomes mentally retarded.
The Chu family originally wanted to deal with Zhou Linnan, but suddenly found out that he had been promoted and was only half a level lower than their own family. Wouldn't Zhou become even more arrogant?
Chu Xinghe went to find the Sixth Prince, but the Sixth Prince had just made some progress and did not have enough ability to deal with a fifth-rank official.
He could only ask his princess to hold a banquet, then call Luo Chen over and give him some pressure. Luo Chen would definitely be afraid of the princess' orders.
This is the only way now, they cannot be exposed. Then the two of them talked about Chu Xinghe going to Jiangnan to study. After chatting, they left.
The Sixth Prince went to see the Sixth Prince's wife, exaggerated the matter about Luo Chen, and asked her to call Luo Chen over and give him a good scolding.
Then hint to her that she would be the one doing this job in the future, so she should practice first.
The Sixth Prince's Consort Lin Suiying responded respectfully. After seeing the Sixth Prince off, she looked up with an icy look in her eyes.
On the day of the banquet, Lin Suiying called Luo Chen to her yard.
"Mrs. Chu."
"Your humble servant pays respect to the Sixth Prince's wife. Your Majesty, please call me Zhou Luochen. I have not yet been recognized by the eldest young master of the Chu family, so I am not yet considered his young lady."
Luo Chen spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, without a trace of panic on his face.
Lin Suiying looked at this Zhou who was different from the previous life, and remembered that she had memories of the future, so she wondered if this Zhou had the same memories as well, so she blew herself up.
Luo Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at her expressionlessly. This lady was really brave. How dare she say such words in front of outsiders?
"Not surprised at all. Do you also have memories of the future?" Lin Suiying wanted to know eagerly.
"Wang Meihua and Wang Guihua saved Chu Xinghe and the Sixth Prince in their own village, so the two men were deceived by the sisters and brought in two of us as shields.
From now on, your Majesty, the entire family of Jinyang Marquis will be executed, you will die in the cold palace with hatred, and Wang Guihua will become the queen.
And I will be poisoned to death by them, and my dowry will be taken away. Wang Meihua will become Prime Minister Chu's wife. I wonder if my memory is different from yours?"
Luo Chen asked her with a smile.
Lin Suiying's eyes turned red with hatred, and she wanted to eat the Sixth Prince alive.
Luo Chen struck while the iron was hot: "Your Highness has become the Sixth Prince's consort, and you are inseparable from the Sixth Prince. If anything happens to him, you and your Jinyang Marquisate will not be able to escape."
Lin Suiying looked at her and said, "What do you think, Miss Zhou? I know that the Zhou family has joined the Crown Prince."
"My lady, instead of placing your hopes on a man who doesn't love you, you should place them on your own children."
"That shameless guy gave me a sterilizing drug." Lin Suiying said this with gritted teeth.
Luo Chen was surprised: "So cruel! The Sixth Prince really has deep feelings for Wang Guihua, the peasant girl. What do you want to do, Your Majesty? You can't stop the Sixth Prince's ambition."
Lin Suiying said to Luo Chen, "Go back and tell your brother that my Jinyang Marquis Mansion is willing to join the Crown Prince, and I will also send out the news about the Sixth Prince's Mansion in the future.
Humph, he would never have thought that I, his first wife, would betray him."
Luo Chen nodded: "Okay, I got it. I will definitely pass on the message. Your Majesty, take care of yourself. We must make sure these two scums die without a burial place."
After returning to the Chu Mansion, Luo Chen asked Lan She to pass the news she got from the Sixth Prince's wife back to her brother.
After receiving the message, Zhou Linnan immediately passed it on.
The prince was speechless after reading it. He thought his sixth brother was a wolf in sheep's clothing, but he didn't expect him to be a moron.
For the sake of a peasant girl, he actually gave his noble wife a sterilizing drug. This was the first time in the palace.
Now it seems that there is nothing to be afraid of.
The next day, Luo Chen went to the main courtyard to pay his respects to Chu's mother. Chu's mother knew that she couldn't alert the enemy for the time being, so she spoke in a sarcastic tone.
He handed over all the affairs of the mansion to Luo Chen.
She took the account book and counted the money on the spot, saying that there were only one thousand taels of silver left in the treasury. Mother Chu's face turned unhappy and she asked Luo Chen to leave quickly.
When Chu Bilian found out, she immediately came up with a plan and asked her maid to tell Luo Chen that she had been injured before and wanted to buy clothes and jewelry to comfort herself.
Luo Chen refused on the spot, saying that this month's salary had already been paid out and she couldn't buy her anything extra.
Chu Bilian immediately went to her mother and cried. Her mother called Luo Chen and scolded him severely.
"Mother-in-law, there are only one thousand taels of silver left in the account, and what my younger sister wants is worth one hundred taels of silver." Luo Chen said.
"Then you go and figure out a way. I'm handing this family over to you, and you have to take good care of it. If you can't manage it well, it means you're incompetent." Chu's mother said.
Luo Chen smiled and said, "Since mother-in-law said to buy it for my sister-in-law, let's buy it."
After returning, Chu Bilian brought a few more pieces of paper. Luo Chen sneered. Many of the things on these papers were from her dowry. How shameless she was.
So she asked Lan She to go to each courtyard and ask the concubines and illegitimate girls if they wanted to buy anything new, and to tell them immediately, and she would buy it for them.
When these people heard this, they knew that the eldest young lady had surrendered.
Since I was spending other people's money to buy things for myself, and the other party was a new daughter-in-law, I would rather accept it than refuse it. I immediately asked for a lot of clothes, jewelry and other things.
After getting the list back, Luo Chen immediately asked someone to take it to his shop to buy the items. He spent nearly four hundred taels of silver to buy all the items and had them delivered to each room.
Everyone was happy. Chu Bilian tried the jewelry on, wrote a piece of paper, and then prepared to buy it again in a few days.
The next day, when Luo Chen paid his respects, he reported the money he had spent yesterday so that the whole family could hear it.
Chu's mother didn't care because she thought that if there was no money in the account in the future, Luo Chen would make up for it.
Seeing that his wife was obedient, Chu Xinghe stopped saying anything, and that night he favored the little girl as Wang Meihua.
Luo Chen immediately gave her medicine, and after tonight, the maid would be pregnant with twins.
When he woke up in the morning, Chu Xinghe realized that he had done something wrong to Mei'er, and angrily drove out the maid who seduced him.
Luo Chen replaced her with another maid to serve her.
Because Wang Meihua knew that if she gave herself to Chu Xinghe without getting married, she might really be a concubine in the future, so she never let Chu Xinghe succeed.
In the next ten days, Chu Xinghe unknowingly favored the four maids who used to serve in his yard.
By the end, I wasn't as panicked as I was at the beginning.
Well, each of them had a pair of twin sons, and Chu Xinghe happily had eight sons.
